Herman dj Lagercrantx, the recently appointed Swedish minister to the United States, firmly established his popularity with the president Imme diately upon his arrival In this country' when It became known that he was the father of seven children. President Roosevelt told him that he had the right kind of credentials to make him an acceptable minister to any country on earth. Before entering the diplomatic service of his country he was en gaged In "the Iron Industry and was president of a railroad. BURIAL OF ' ?' ', - 18 A MOST EXPENSIVE. UNDER TAKING IN CHINA. More Than $4,200,( ,'lll.be Expend-, ed In Rites Over Late Emperor Obsequies of Empress Dow ager Just as Costly. P;kln. Tho Chinos emplro will ex pend more than $4,200,000 in the burial rites of tho lato emperor add dowager empress of the Coloatlal kingdom, bo Core tha Confucian law and the an cient precedents governing the burial of ChtncBo royalty aro compiled wltli The religion and all Chinese usage la founded on respect for tho dead, and to the western observer the lavish expenditure of money attendant on the taking ef the body of Emperor Kwang-Hsu from tho Forbidden City to the coal hill mortuary, with all its 'pomp and splendor, was nothing short of. the grotesque. For -a week tho body of tho dead emperor rested In Btato In the room lathe palace reserved especially for that purpose by the Chinese court. Be fore, his remains could be removed the law1 demanded that every piece or his personal property must be destroyed. Priceless silks, furs, gems, art works of which tho emperor was intensely fond during his life, were assigned to the flames. This was done at the cost ctf a fortune, wblio the destruction of the vast personal-effects of the Dow ager empress will entail an expendit ure of doubly as much. Brilliant, barbaric, and weird was tke progress of the "cortege through the streets ef Pekin the other day, The procession was. led by Prince Chun, the regent, while the baby em peror had a prominent position in the line. " Thousands of' soldiers;, ministers of stale, priests, and prominent civilians marched to the coal hill, while my riads of mourners bowed their heads la the dust as tho body was borne by. At mortuary hill tho romalns will Ho ta state until the Imperial sepulchcr Is prepared. The dowager empress will bo buried la the spring, when her mausoleum shall havo been completed. Her ob sequies will cost, as much as those of tho emperor. A vast collection ot priceless furs and other personal prop erty belonging to her was Incinerated In her palaco. two days ago. ' The funeral observances wero no table for a Btrango admixture of an cient Chineso custom with western forms and practices, a fact that shows the progress mado in recent years ot modernizing tho system of procodure for Imperial Interments handed down from uygouo generations. The fact that many of tho old gro tesque funeral forma that have been observed for centuries1 wero today lg nored as utterly unsultod to modern conditions has "brought out much local criticism of the government, but In splto of this tho throne has ordered the grand council to consider another memorial looking to tho alteration of existing funeral observances to con form to modern methods.

Sioux Falls, S. D. George Sweet ot Gregory, and Miss Minnie Austin, and Guy Stearns of Ottumwa, S. D., and Miss Sadie Austin, were the principals in a romantic double woddlng,whlch was the result of a dare on tho part of the young men. Tncr brides are sis ters and aro the daughters of Mr., and Mrs. Azarlah Austin of Ioua. The grooms are cousins. Tho wedding fol lowed a midnight Journey from the extreme southern part of Lyman coun ty to the county seat at Oacoma. It appears tho two young men were vIb Itlng tho slstors, and during the eve ning made the daring Jes that tho sisters had not tho nervo to accom pany them to the county seat at once and be married. The sisters galled the bluff, accepting the dare, and the four started out at onco on the long and dangerous Journey to Oacoma, arriving at that placo at three o'clock In tho morning. The great difficulty and dan ger In making the crossing ot White river In the darkness added zest to tho occasion. After their arrival at Oacoma there was a tedious wait for The. clerk' of courts to appear and Issue the necessary license. After this was se cured the services of Rev. N. H. May were engaged and the marriage; cere mony was perfdrmed.

Comment and Suogectlve Thought. This revlow should cover Tho wholo period of our six months' study. The limln facts should bo hold In tha tnomory ns a basis of tho Instruc tion tho history is lntendod to loach. Tho great valuo of history Hob In tho light It sheds on tho great princi ples of truo llvhig. "History Is phil osophy teaching by examples," said DlonyBlus of HallcarnaoBus, nnd Carlylo calls It "Philosophy teaching by exporienco." Tho Bible history Is fnr moro to us, tor It is a divinely gutdod revelation of God's principles and plans ot dealing with men. But it Is to bo Been and 'studied in tho light of its own times nnd circum stances. A review Is a fitting lesson for tho closing sabbath of tho year, bidding us look carefully at tho trend and tide of our own lives, learning whnt to avoid and. what to cherish, whnt to repent of and what to glvo thnnkB for. Thus shall tho past illumlno tho path of tho future; ovlls ropentod of shnll bo lighthouses on tho hidden rocks; and work well dono and victories gained shall be favoring gales toward tho"rort of oternnl life. Saul and His Kingdom B. C. 1095 1055. Tho first king with a great task be fore him, A good genoral loynblo man. . A brave man. Not BUfllclent ability to accomplish his work. Chief causo of his failures was moral. He was. selfish and disobedi ent to God, without depth of religious Ufe " ' , His kingdom was small. Hla death tragic. David and His Kingdom B. C. 1055 1015. For his early lite and training, and for tho discipline of his young man hood, see review of last quarter. David had many personal qualities and natural advantages wbtch made it posBlblo for him to becomo a great king. Name them. But whethor theso possibilities became realized depended upon hlmsolf. David was truo to himself and., to God. From the beginning ho did Ills level best. Ho 'was faithful to. every duty. Ho learned his lessons from everything that came to him. He was deeply religious, and the 'fact gave strength to his character, wisdom' to. his actions, and defense against temp tation. '.. He became a groat statesman, gen eral, organizer, poet, musician. Results. David found tho kingdom dlvldod, distracted, subdued by en emies, and in a very low religious con dition. David left the kingdom great in many ways: .. . 1. A united people. 2. A greatly enlarged 4errltory and population. " - 3. Great progress in tho religious life of tho people. 4. Great progress in govornmont. Tho kingdom highly organized as a state, as a military power, sb a rellg Ioub institution. , 5. Great Increase in wealth, prosper ity, and the blessings of life. . 6,. Peace- with all tho surrounding nations. ' 7., Ho made great preparations for building the temple, , 8. He wrote Psalms which aro a blessing to ail the ages. . His great sin marred his career and brought disastrous consequences , But his repentance was most manly and thorough. And his life, mollowod nnd deepened, was a blessing to tho end. His success was founded on the prin ciples which bring true success to-day. Solomon and His Kingdom B. C. 1015 975. Tell the story of his early life and circumstances. , H'b most marked early exporienco was his wise chotco, Tho Result. 1. "Ho raised Israel, for a tlrao, to the height of Its na tlonal aspirations and showed tho pos sibilities of splendor and authority to which It might attain." Farrar. 2. "Ho stirred tho intellectual II a of the peoplo in new directions." , 3. "Ho enshrined their worship in a worthy and permanent tomp)o," "by which ho influenced tholr religious Hfo ilown to Its latest days." This temple was Idealized, together with' tho city, into a type of the spiritual templo and tho New Jerusalem, the city of God which camo down from heaven. 4. The peace which prevailed during nearly all of his reign was a great nchlovpmcnt and made many of , tho othor blosslngB possible. 5. His failure and weaknoss camo from the atmosphere of worldllness, from yloldlng to temptation into which he placed himself. C. For this falling: into sin ho sif fered many things, acid his peoplo and kingdom suffered moro. 7. But Solomon did not wholly fall from his high estate, nor woro tho great things be had done for bis king dom oblltorated. Thoro waB far moro good than ovil.- No ono can any moro'galn happiness In Solomon's way than he can quench his thirst with the salt waters of tho sea.
