OLDEST PIECE OF WRITING’POPULARITY OF

Sight Watchman in Department of
Justice Scored a Hit "on His
Own Judgment.”
Not long ago a brand new watchman
was appointed as a nigbt guard in the
department of Justice. He assumed
his duties, filled with the importance
of his responsibilities, in instructing
him an official said:
"Now, if anything unexpected hap-
pens during the night just use your
own judgment in dealing with the mat-
ter.'’
That night, as the watchman sat at
the door, there came a wire from some
official in California asking the depart-
ment whether there was any law
against such a thing.
Now this was the time, so thought
the watchman, to “act on your own
Judgment." He gave the boy a reply
which read: “1 don't know of any,”
and the telegram was sent.
A high official learned of the matter
and placed it before the attorney gen-
eral. That officer smiled at the answer
given and remarked: "Well, he's right
about it—I don't know any law against
It, either.”—Washington Star.
Sumerian Tablet in University of
Pennsylvania Records Deeds of
Babylonians.
A number of ancient Sumerian tab-
lets. recording the deeds of the Baby-
lonians thousands of years ago, have
been deciphered by George A. Barton
at the University of Pennsylvania mu-
seum. One of these tablets, which
tells how a farmer rid his field of lo-
custs and caterpillars, is dated 4.000
B. C. and is the oldest piece of writ-
ing extant, according to »n announce-
ment made by officials of the museum.
The farmer. Doctor Barton's transla-
tion says, called in a necromancer,
who "broke a jar, cut open a sacrifice,
a word of cursing he repeated, and the
locusts and caterpillars fled.’’ For this
service he received a tall palm tree.
That a canal was constructed in
Babylonia nearly 5,000 years ago Is
shown by another tablet dated “The
year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the
mouth of the canal Erin at Nippur."
Naram-Sin was a king in Babylonia
and is supposed to have financed the
construction of the waterway which
gave Nippur transportation facilities
with the rest of the world. A third
tablet, dated 3200 B. C., records the
transfer of land and a quantity of
grain for bronze money. Gold and sil-
ver were known at that time, but were
not used as currency.
Base ball h»» grown to gigantic proper
tiems within the last decade and the scien-
tific work of the teams has been the delight
of millions of spectators. There are so
many things to admire in the game that it
is impossible to describe them. Outdoor
exercise is one of Nature's best aids in pro-
moting health and strength and keeping the
blood rich and pure; but, perhaps you are
one of the many who are denied that privi-
lege. You lead a sedentary life which al-
ways has a tendency to make the liver lazy,
the bowels clogged and digestion poor.
Oftentimes you are nervous, sleepless, have
no appetite and feel run down.
Under these conditions you will greatly
appreciate the assistance to be derived from
these organs in a normal condition your
system is well fortified against an attack of
Sick Headache, Heartburn, Indigestion,
Cramps, Constipation, Biliousness or Ma-
laria, FevCr or Ague.
Always take good care of your health
and you will be well repaid, while care-
lessness only brings suffering and distress.

Getting All Sewed Up.
It was several days after arriving
home from the front that the soldier
with the two broken ribs was sitting
up and smoking a cigar when the doc-
tor came in.
“Well, how are you feeling now?”
asked the latter.
“I’ve had a stlch in my side all day,”
replied the wounded soldier.
"That’s all right,” said the doctor.
'‘It shows that the bones are knit-
ting.”
His Opposite.
"They say people of opposite char-
acteristics make the happiest mar-
riages."
“Yes; that's why I'm looking for a
girl with money.”
As Seeing the Invisible.
No great purpose has ever been
achieved by any individual until his
spirit lias first gone' out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-
ered its native strength, its absolute
Invincibility when it rwlies upon no
help but that of God. This Is the
experience of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fel-
lows for awhile, like Moses, into the
land of Midian, or like our Lord him-
self into the wilderness, or like St.
Paul Into the Arabian desert, and
there, in solitary communion with
God. from that highest of all compan-
ionships, they drink in strength to
fit them for the wort of our lives.
Alone with God, they see visions
which fill their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even in the
light of common day, but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them,
through storm and darkness, till the
purpose of their lives is fulfilled.—
Edwin H. Eland.
WAS NOT A FLORAL TRIBUTE
Varied Program.
The women of a town down the
state recently organized a literary
dub, and for a while everything was
lovely.
"I^ouise,” asked the husband of one
of the members upon her return home
from one of the meetings, "what was
the topic under discussion toy the club
this afternoon?"
Louise couldn’t just remember at
first. Finally, however, she exclaimed:
“Now’ I recollect! We discussed that
brazen-looking hussy that’s just moved
in across the street and Nietzsche.”

The curtain was rung sp for the
third time, and Margaret Blake
stepped forward and responded to the
prolonged acclamation of her admiring
audience. She si¥>ke with a graceful
modesty that charmed, then gathered
her floral tributes. Was it the intense
excitement or the blinding array of
footlights that dazzled and confused
her?
Quietly reposing on a lower box
rail by the proscenium she saw a mag-
nificent bunch of violets—her favorite
flower—ostensibly placed there for her
by a sweet-faced, dark-haired lady be-
hind them.
With applause still ringing ln her
ears, Miss Blake leaned forward and
took the lovely bouquet, acknowledg-
ing the gift by a pretty bow.
The sweet-faced, dark-haired lady
reached after hex with a strange and
sodden haste.
“Give me back my hat,” she cried,
hysterically.

“THE LAST LAUGH.”
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds of th«
press. It assails William Allen
White's story, “What's the Matter
With Kansas?” published some time
since ln the Saturday Evening Post
"Mr. White,” It said, "boasted about
the big crops of Kansas, the per cap-
ita wealth of Kansas, the number of
automobiles ln Kansas, and almost
succeeded ln making everyone believe
that Kansas was wholly rich as well
as richly holy. But he overdid it.
And his home town, Emporia, la the
goat For years the College qf Em-
poria lias been largely supported by
means of donations from wealthy
Easterners, who imagined they were
assisting ‘a poor little college on the
wind-swept prairies.' When these
rich patrons read Mr. White’s clever
but misleading article they withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for the an-
nual donation of $200,000, which used
to come out of the East.”
The National W. C. T. U. Bureau of
Publicity forwarded the article to Mr.
White and In reply he says:
“I have received, I should say, a
dozen or fifteen clippings from all
over the United States exactly like
the one you sent. The clippings was
sent out by the liquor interests
through the National Clipping bureau,
and there is no truth whatever ln the
statement. It is pure fiction.”
Mr. White sends also the following
statement written for the public by
the president of the college:
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: ,
"I have learned that certain selfish
Interests are circulating'a story that
the College of Emporia has lost dona-
tions and subscriptions in the East,
due to an article in The Saturday
Evening Post on the prohibition situa-
tion ln Kansas, written by William
Allen White. 1 wish to say there is
absolutely no foundation for this
story.
“Very truly yours,
“HENRY COE CULBERTSON,
“President College of Emporia.”
In a personal letter to Mr. White,
a copy of which is also ln the hands
of the W. C. T. U. Publicity bureau,
Mr. Culbertson deals with the college
financial affairs in detail We quote:
“The article to which you call my
attention la utterly absurd. Neither
the College of Emporia nor Washburn
college ever received ‘an annual do-
nation of $200,000' from the East. So
far as 1 can ascertain, during the en-
tire thirty-two years’ existence of the
College of Emporia, this institution
has not received as much as $65,000
In all, for all purposes, buildings, en-
dowment and current expenses,- from
persons living outside the state. This
Is an average of about two thousand
dollars per year. Almost all of our
endowment, and the money to erect
our buildings, as well as the money
to meet our current expense budget
of $40,000 per year, has come from
the gifts of the people in this pro-
hibition state of Kansas.
Even if it cost us $200,000 or any
other amount in possible gifts, our
faculty, officers and trustees would
still Indorse most emphatically the
prohibition policy, which we believe
involves the moral and social wel-
fare of our state and nation."

LESSON FOR MAY 9
FRIENDSHIP OF DAVID AND JON-
ATHAN.
LE8SON TEXT—I Samuel »:M-42.
GOLDEN TEXT-A friend loveth at all
toes.—Prov. 11:17.
TfrMFCRANCE INwwRANCE. -
"It may Interest abstainers to
know,” says the Temperance Leader,
“that in 1840 an application was re-
ceived by an English insurance com-
pany for a policy on the life of an
abstainer, and the directors of the
company decided to charge ten per
cent, more than the ordinary pre-
mium, because they looked upon the
applicant as thin and watery, and as
mentally cranked in that he repudi-
ated the good creatures of God as
found In alcoholic drinks. As the
result of this action, he, with his
friends, founded the first temperance
Insurance company in Britain, and
himself lived to the age of eighty-
two.
LIQUOR REVENUE NOT NEEDED.
“Only last year there was expended
in Raleigh for the construction of resi-
dences, business Institutions and pub-
lic buildings the stupendous sum of
$1,459,221,” declared Hon. M. L. Ship-
man, commissioner of labor for North
Carolina, In a recent address. “And
the beauty of it all is that not a dol-
lar of this money was realized from
either the sale or manufacture of in-
toxicating liquors. I am Informed
that the loss of revenue formerly re-
ceived from the dispensary once in
operation here has long since been
counteracted by a legitimate Increase
of taxable values.”
SALOONS ARE MISSING.
If we could construct our ow-n rati-
road, we could today enjoy a Journey
from old Virginia on the Atlantic to
sunny California on the far Pacific
without passing through an Inch of
territory where the saloon is legal-
ized.—Anna A. Gordon, President Na-
tional W. C. T. U.

There is perhaps no narrative In all
history or literature which so perfect-
ly Illustrates the conditions of friend-
ship as this which is before us. Jon-
athan was every Inch a man; affection-
ate, sweet and tender, deeply pious
and withal loyal to both duty and
friends. His rights, as the king’s son,
ho gladly set aside for David, whom he
"loved as his own* soul” (ch. 18:3;
20:17). Jonathan is a great type of
the surrendered life (ch. 23:17).
I. David’s Danger, vv. 32-35. Three
times in the previous chapter (vv. 5,
14, 30) we read that David “behaved
himself wisely.” “Saul eyed David”
(V. 19) and his Jealous anger grew as
he gave vent to his hate. Jonathan’s
desires for David drew the anger of
Saul (20:30), but It only put him more
upon his guard and made him more de-
termined, if pousible, to save both
David and Saul.
Following David’s escape (18:18) he
consulted Jonathan regarding his
safety (20.1-10). They renewed their
covenant and swore fealty to each
other and to those of- their house-
holds (vv. 11-17). It Is a standing re-
buke that Christians treat so lightly
their covenants with the church and
with the world. David was safe at
Naioth (19:18-24), for each company
sent after him, and Saul himself, were
hindered by the Spirit of Jehavah from
carrying out Saul’s foul designs. This
seemed for the moment to humble
Saul (20:1; Ps. 97:1). Jonathan,
though great and mighty, was not
strong enough to deliver his friend
from the renewed wrath of his father.
“Vain Is the help of man.” “Our help
Is ln the Lord.” Jonathan show’ed hla
true friendship in that he told the ex-
act state of affairs to David (v. 10).
When Saul became convinced that
Jonathan was taking David’s part, he
tried to kill Jonathan and reviled the
mother who bore him (v. 30). In his
loss of self-control Saul allowed David
to escape. Even so, sin overshoots Its
mark. The contrast Is a dark one to
contemplate.
II. David Delivered, vv. 35-42. Jon-
athan did not revile again (v. 34) when
insulted and assailed by bis father,
and his manifestation of just anger
(for his mother was reviled) was
quite different from that of his father.
Any attempt to reconcile Saul to Da-
vid (v. 34) was a useless exposure to
danger and for Jonathan to be seen
with his friend would Imperil his own
life. This explains the expedient of
shooting arrows in the field. Jonathan
shot his arrows “beyond,” i. e., David
must go “beyond” and out of the reach
of Saul. David trusted Jonathan’s fidel
lty (v. 23) when the test came, though
Jonathan might have good reason for
playing him false in order to promote
his own Interests.
Dismissing the boy, Jonathan drew
near to David’s hiding place, to the
south of the stone Ezel (v. 41 R. V.),
where a most touching parting took
place between these two friends. First
of all David bowed ceremoniously
three times, touching his head to the
ground, perhaps to show his unshaken
loyalty to Jo*::aihau as the king’s, son.
This was but for a moment; as men of
the East and friends, they rushed to
each other's arms and wept for a long
time. These were the manly tears of
two brave men not afraid to show
their love and emotions. It has been
suggested that Jonathan should have
accompanied Davfd as God’s elect
(Heb. 13:13), but we feel that duty
bade him to remain by the side of his
sin-stricken father.
The Lessons of the Lesson. True
friendship cost*. God’s love gave to
the world his Son. Jonathan's friend-
ship for David was costly, but was
given gladly, not grudgingly. True
friendship neither forgets duty nor
neglects its desire towards the object
of its love. It is not governed emotion-
ally, yet it disregards all other ties, If
they are wrong. Not even a father or
mother should lead us to wrong a
friend. When David came Into power
he remembered the everlasting cove-
nant made with Jonathan (II Sam.
9:3). Our "Son of David” has made a
Bimilar covenant with us (Acts 16:31;
2:39). True friendship Is of alow
growth, but is not easily killed,
chilled by reverses, nor frozen by ad-
versity (Prov. 18:24). True friendship
is unsrifish. It gives and does not
seek.
True friendship is founded upon re-
ligion and the best friend, the Ideal
friend, is Jesus Christ.
That friendship w hich is based upon
oaths, ritual and dues, Is not abiding,
nor true friendship, for it excludes all
who fall to possess the same pass-
word or a sufficient amount of money.
That friendship which Is based upon
expediency, or a quid pro quo, is by
no means true friendship; it Is as
ephemeral as the morning mist and as
frail as a chain of sand.
The friendship which has as its com-
mon center God’s best boon, the friend-
ship of his Son, will, If it is true and
genuine, abide forever.
Today will be observed by many
schools as “Mather’s day.”
