ty. They were all fast asleep in camp,
and Abishai, full of the lust OF blood,
besought David to permit him to
'smite'' Saul, assured that so fatal
would be this first blow that II would
be unnecessary to strike "the second
time"
Verses 912.-An act of restraint.
David interpreted his opportunity In
"a different way. In spite Of his asso-
citation with daring outlaws, whose ac-
knowledged chieftain he had become,
there was no personal enmity in his
heart. In spite of the wreck that Saul
had made of himself, David could not
forget that he was 'the Lords anoint-
ed and as long as he was in office II
behooyed him to show reverence to the
chosen king. He also had sufficient
faith in God not to presume upon the
divine prerogatives and functions. 1.-The
Lord shall smite him"-by some sud-
den stroke, as came on Nabal Chapter
XIV, 3S), or by natural death, or he
may fall in battle, which last actually
happened. "At his bolster" The spear
that was at the head OF Saul was, how
ever, taken away and also 'the cruise

vid and his companion left the camp
of Saul. In the deep sleep" that had
fallen on every N he saw the hand of
Jehovah In his behalf.

his side he awoke the camp of Saul

fessed that ne was guilty of folly and
had treated him In a disgraceful and
dishonorable manner. But the tears of
remorse were superficial, for. In spite
of his promises, Saul had clearly proved
himself incapable of keeping his word.
Thus ended the unseemly persecution
of David by Saul, who not only con-
fessed his errors, but also commended
David. declaring that for him was a

GEORGES BAD SPELL.
Washington Never Could Learn to
Write Some Words Correctly.


Whoever heard that the great George
Washington never could learn to spell
correctly?
You see, 1t happened this way. When
George was quite a young boy he came
across a copy OF an English book call
ed the young Mans Companion"
written In a plain and easy STYLE" as
the title stated. which taught one how
to write letters, wills. deeds, to sur
vey, to navigate. to build houses, to
make ink and cider. how TO doctor the
sick and how to conduct oneself in So
ciety, "all without the aid of a tutor"
Washington studied this book from
cover to owe and from II acquired
two qualities that chung TO him through
life. His handwriting. easy, flowing
ami legible. was modelled from the en-
graved copy" sheet. and certain forms
Of spelling were learned that he never
could correct.
To the end Of his life Washington
wrote lie, I've; liar. lyar: ceiling. ciel-
ing; oil. oyl. and blue. blew. as in his
boyhood he had learned to do from
this old book. Struggle as he did In
trying to spell as the others of his
day did. he never could be sure OF GER
tain words.-St. Louis Republic.

Ambition.

Contented, unambitious people are all
very well In their way. They form a
neat, useful background for great por-
traits to be painted against, and they
make a respectable IL not particularly
intelligent audience for the active spir-
its of the age to play before. But do
not. for goodness sake. let them 90
stalking about. as they are so fond OF
doing, crying out that they are the true
models for the whole species. Why.
they are deadheads. the drones, the
street crowds that lounge about gaping
at those who are working.
They never know the excitement or
expectation nor the stern delight Of ac-
complished effort. such as stir the pulse
of the man who has objects. hopes and
plans. To the ambitious man life is a
brilliant game-a game that calls forth
all his tact and energy and nerve; a
game to be won I'm the long run by the
quick eye and the steady hand and yet
having sufficient chance about its
working out to give 1t all the glorious
zest of uncertainty.
And IL he be defeated he wins the
grim Joy of fighting: If he loses the
race he at least had n run. Better to
work and fail than to sleep ones life
away.-Jerome X. Jerome.

Lajoie to Have Freer Rein.

While it may be assuming a lot to
criticise the batting of so expert a
batsman as larry Lajoie. 1t is believed
in Philadelphia that Connie Mack will
change the system under which the big
Frenchman worked while with the
Cleveland team.
1t was a noticeable fact that Lajoie
whenever he faced the opposing pitch
er with men on the bases would play
the hit and run game. Ii did not take
the pitchers very long to wise up to
this fact. and as a result Lajoie under
such conditions got few balls that he
could punish. usually being handed
something just out of range which he
would be forced to go after because
the base runner would be advancing.
Baseball men have always doubted
the wisdom of letting Lajoie play this
sort of a game for the reason that he
is a hard hitter and IL allowed to pick
his own ball is apt to clear the bases
any time he connects.

The Lesson Explained. Verses S.
A secret visit.
Saul was resolved not to let David
alone and followed him to the wilder
ness of Ziph, on the west Of the Dead
sea. David had established himself
In the rock fortress of Engedi, which
means "the fountain of the wild goat"
suggestive of the wild gorges and deep
ravines which abounded in this cOun-
try. 1t was evident that Saul and his
army of 5000 men had little chance
against David and his fleet footed and
alert men. There were also numerous
caverns in this region. and at nightfall
Saul entered one which happened to be
tenanted by David and some of his
men. While the king was resting here
David stole toward him and cut off a
piece from his trailing robe. AS soon
as the king left this cave David came
out and called to him and remonstrat-
ed with him in a truly noble spirit. He
reminded Saul of the gross injustice
which was being melted out to him.
He pleaded his innocence, In proof of
which he pointed to the piece from his
robe that had just been cut. He asked
the king why he should so humiliate
himself as to come after so insignif-
cant a person as himself, and he finally
appealed to God in vindication of his
equity. This speech had a wonderful
effect on Saul, who broke out into
weeping and confessed that he was
guilty Of wrongdoing. But this was a
case Of mere emotionalism. Not long
after this incident Saul was again
found encamped against David.
where Saul had pitched David
was familiar with all this country. and
he was able to observe the operations
of his enemy without being himself
observed. He saw that the king was
lying down "in the trench" within the
place of the wagons" This was an
intrenchment built up temporarily by
the transport wagons. With him was
"Abner, the captain of his host"
while around "the people pitched"
Like Gideon of old, David planned a
night visit to this camp. He was ac-
companied by "Abishai, the son of Ze-
ruiah." his sister. This nephew of Da-
vid. together with his brothers. "Joab'
and "Asahel." was 10 figure prominent

HAITrs OLD CITADEL.
Only Ruins Remain of Great La Fer
riere, Built by Black King.


On the summit OF n Haitian noun
tain over 1000 feet high stand the Won
derful ruins Of the great citadel La
Ferriere, built by the black king Chris
topic. Some Of the walls are eighty
feet high and sixteen feet thick. and
heavy batteries OF old ffty-six and
thirty-two pound guns are still in posi-
ton. They were laid to guard every
approach Of what was intended TO be
the last asylum of Haitian %independ-
ence. Springs OF water still exist In
the interior, and there were secret sub
terranean passages and secret cham
bers for holding his boarded wealth,
much Of which is supposed to be still
buried there. Although partly destroy
ed by the earthquake in 1912, which
demolished nearly all Of the important
buildings In the country. the colossal
ruins Of the citadel still attest the 81
gantic work of Christophe, and the
world still wonders how the work was
done and how the material for the con-
.struction and armament was ever got
to the top of the mountain. Little au-
thentic information has ever been OBJ
tanned on the subject, and the whole
enterprise Is clouded In man and
anecdote.-Argonaut.

Cobb himself says he will be there

Cobb did put on considerable weight
last season, but during the spring

tent that he is now going to make

Mack's Wise Move.

Joe Birmingham. manager of the
Maps, thinks Connie Mack made a
wise move when he secured Nap La

the sale of Eddie Collins. Birmingham
declared recently that Lajoie is still a
premier ball player, despite his age.
He had a little trouble with his legs
last year." said Birmingham, but,

In a peculiar way the great general
went about training his men. One Of
his ideas was to have all the doors Sc
cretly locked when the men We're In
quarters and to have the first dinner
bugle sounded. A moment later the
second dinner bugle sounded. The men,
In obedience to the call, rushed with
their pans in their hands to the doors.
The doors were all locked, of course.
But the men must get their mess.
The orders were to present themselves
Immediately after the second call, get
their rations and return at once to the
quarters. There was nothing left to do
but make ropes Of blankets and sheets
and let themselves down from the win
dows while they held the pans in their
teeth. They got their allowance of the
usual thick soup and bread. The bread
was easy-it went into their pockets
But the soup! There was no other way;
they went up as they came down, pans
in mouths. Some got back with the
most of their soup; some got back with
half of it; some got back with the pan
wet. But out of 700 men in one trial
all but two got back up the improvised
ropes.
The b~ersaglieri have continued to be
a national institution. Their traditions
Of readiness in emergency have not
been allowed to die.
No less remarkably trained and no
less picturesque are the Alpine troops.
The mountains are their homes. Whole
regiments have been drilled in all the
difficulties of battling above the clouds
or on the steep sides of cliffs, where
only avalanches are supposed to travel.
In the maneuvers are to be seen long
files of men, small, looking like flies
on the wall of some terrible precipice,
dragging inch by inch some big field
gun by means of cables and pulleys.
The whole idea of such training Is
that some day it would be necessary to
meet an enemy equally daring and
skillful among the dangerous Alpine
solitudes. Perhaps that day is now at
hand, and the Carnic and Rheatian
Alps on the border between Italy and
Austria may see battles most strange
in comparison with the ordinary as
poets of warfare. Here may be aerial
battles of another kind, scarcely less
thrilling and novel.
A Celebrated Corps.
Were it not for these most pictur-
esque parts of the Italian army there
would be o cheers for the Royal
Piedmont regiment, one Of the most
celebrated corps, a corps whose favor
lite maneuvering feat is swimming deep
rivers on horseback. Those who have
witnessed these maneuvers tell of see
ing a prince of the house of Savoy
plunge into the river Arno at Florence
at the head of his hussars and the en-
tire regiment swim across, each troop
err with his arm about his trained
chargers neck.
Only a few years ago the Italian SOL
diers had a taste of real war. In 1906
there was trouble with Emperor Meme
Xix of Abyssinia. Italy had dreamed
of a protectorate and a vast African
empire. Honorable defeats at the hands
OF the fierce Abyssinians soon turned
into complete disaster. But the Ital-
ians came back home with n few les
sons which they turned to good ac-
count in the brief victorious war with
Turkey.

The completion of the two new YES

Dreadnoughts up TO six. The first YES
sci of this class in the italian navy
was the Dante Alighieri. completed in

each, are projected.
PremobiIization Announcement.
The following generalization an
nouncement was published in Rome:
1.-THE first and second categories Of
the ten classes from 1886 to 1885, are
to be assigned to the first line troops;
the third category Of the same classes.
besides the three categories of b ten
classes from 1876 to 1885, are to be as
signed to the mobile and territorial
militia"
Thus all ablebodied men between
the ages of twenty and forty are to be
included. Four classes-those Of 1892,
1893, 1894, 1S95-are now with the col
ors. The three classes recently trained
and sent home are liable to immediate
mobilization.
All Italians are liable to military
service for nineteen years from the age
Of twenty. Two years are spent with
the colors, six zen congo" four in the
mobile militia and sever in the terri
torial militia. In case of general mo-
bilization the peace strength Of 1912
officers and 2S9,44S men is increased to
a total Of 3,433,15 5 as follows:

This privilege ceases In case of a call
for general mobilization such as is now
imminent in Italy.
Picturesque Alpine Troops.
When the armies of Italy are hurled
into the great European conflict some
Of the most interesting and picturesque
actors of the worlds war stage will
take up their parts.
All eyes will be upon the Bersaglieri,
with their plumes of cocks feathers,
and the Alpine troops, who march up
perpendicular cliffs with more ease
than they walk on level ground. And
there are the royal carabineers and
the Royal Piedmont regiment of cav
airy, both holding celebrated positions
among all the fighting forces of the
world.
Favorites among them all are the
bersaglieri, called 1.-THE most pictur-
esque Of the corps de'elite of the armies

This corps was created by General
Lamarmora. one of the founders of
the Italian national army. The gen.
eral asked the king for the worst sol
diers in the service, so that he could
mold them according to his W plans.
His first and chief plan was to make
his men mentally keen n resource
full. At the same time he wished that
they be thoroughly active physically.
