The Queen of Sheba m::de a visit to King Solomon, and he showed her every thing of the kingdom, the wealth, and the im provements and everything which had excif d the wonder and admiration of the then awakening world. All this wonderful series of improve ments cost money, they cost labor and entailed a lack of the things which the people individually required for a decent living. Israel Gets a New King. Then comes the time for the pass ing of Solomon, and a new king is selected in his stead. The new king is Rehoboam. the son of Solomon. The new king had grown up under the reign of the magnificent court sur roundings and like many a young man, had thought that the ease which the position gave him. was truly his right, and on becoming king, he was confronted by questions which al ways perplex rulers, executives iu any avenues of life of people in charge of great enterprises. Jereboam, the son of Nabat, a member of the tribe of Ephriam, and a man of much energy and push, and withal, one with ambition, but not essentially right in his views of the justness be tween man and God, but with a sense of what was just uetween man and man. He attained a position as one of the hustling generals and the peo ple were drawn to him. His activi ties were such that he was much dis liked by his master. King Solomon, and because of which he fled to Egypt during the latter years of Solomon's reign. When the new king came to the throne, Jereboam, who was in touch with the condition prevailing in Israel, returned and he was pres ent when the people, dissatisfied with the way things had been going in the latter portion of Solomon's reign and the beginning of the new king's, ap peared before the king with a peti tion asking for redress of greviences, that their lot might be made a little easier. The King Seeks Advice. When the people murmured, and asked for a little easier conditions in which to live, the new king asked that he be given three days in which to answer. He 'asked the advice of his friends, tlie old men who had been with the father, and knew of the rigorous strife which had been their to obtain a living and at the same time to contribute to the up keep of the king's court, and to the internal improvements from which they derived no especial benefit, ad vised that the conditions be made a little easier, and that the people themselves be allowed to share in the good things with which the king dom had been blessed. Then the young king asked his associates, who had enjoyed the court favors and who had been participants of the special conditions which had obtain ed under the rule of the father of Rehoboam, and they advised that as he was the head of the government, that it was his right to say what the kingdom should be, and advised him to make the government a severe cne and to teach the people that it was their's not to complain, but to submit and to work that the kingdom might shine with eplendor, and the king have plenty to roll in luxury. At the end of the three days, when the people again came and under the . ' iV .T ? v leadership of Jereboam. came rorj"me. xxie pouury their reply. Rehoboam, who had fan cied that he was the he spreme ruler ' rd that position, ' cf the- Und, assumed and told the people that he was king, and that hf would rule the kingdom, (meatestmem: i t i Many tests have proved that all Poultry re gardless of age or condition, need more minerals than they can possibly get in their grain or mash rations all poultry experts urge the feeding of minerals.

The corn de- thigh of his father had been, and II they did not do the things required that as his father had flayed them with whips, he would flay them with scoipians, attached to the lashes to inflict a greater string. Rebellion Breaks Out. Like the people during the pre revolutionary days, when no redress could beobtained, they prepared to take the government into their own hands, and with the spirit which ac tuated the American patriot to write, "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to desolve the political bands which have connected them with an other and to assume an equal station among the powers of the earth," a secret re spect for the opinions of mankind im pelled them to a declaration of their intentions, Israel blew the horn and called the people "To your tents, O Israel," and said unto the king, "What portion have we in David?"

Jesse," which was the government of David. Hard Conditions Now Come The kingdom was thus divided, and Rehoboam only retains Judah and Benjamin, and which later be- came Judea, and the other ten tribes became Israel, the people who should have been united are now enemies in many ways, but with the years a bontl of fellowship develops and they are linked in offensive and defensive to maintain their national existence and in a way their right to live. Under the reign of Jereboam, the son of Nabat, whom it is chargeed, "He made Israel to sin," he in order to make the contrast the more em phatic between tha new kingdom and the old, did away with the place of worship of the one true God, and set up other places and allowed the wor ship of Idols like the nations sur rounding them. While Judah under Rehoboa m. adhered to the worship of, ";'u,' '" a" aumm tho they did not stand stead-;?0 ,n mo,ie a.nd ta.k,n'i 2ml Plato Jehovah, tho they fast, but at times wandered away and worshipped idols, and with each such falling away from the worship of the one true God, they became weaker and more oppressed, and with trouble with their neighbors, very like the new nation of Israel. During the years which followed, they had more good kings than bad ones, but sure ly enough bad ones as the history of the nation shows, while Israel had more bad kings than good onos and for this reason, their kintrdom went down the sooner and never to arise ! w hich took 4 possible firsts out of 7. again for Israel became know n rfter-j Other winnings w ill be given later, wards as the "Ten Lost Tribes," and'On a whole the club members from were carried away one hundred and; Cass county excelled anything that forty years before the capitivity of j we have ever done before.
