1'IjACK Ilothrtti, a Miiull town nhont
trn miles north of K.utiiirlu. Rltuuteil on ii
remarkable iHolulml bill. MUiruiitutiM on

Rtlll be svon ull nroitml tho hlll-lop Alio
Kitmnrlii, tho capital of thu Northin
Kingdom.
How did Kllfllm show himself to ho
a tiuo patriot? Hy using for his coun
try Ills supernatural knowledge, as wo
should use for our country our lesser
knowledge, and all our powers. Assy
rlu was not at the Hint pressing upon
Syria, so that Syria rould attack her
hereditary enoiuy to tlio south. Hut
tho plans of llenluulad II. wero frus
trated over and over. lillsha was
then living in Hothan, about ten tulles
lorth of Samaria. Dothau was "a small
town, of which some ruins and u well
r.tlll mark the Rite." The caravan route,
from beyond Jordun pusses, front tho
Plain of Ksdiaclon, closo to It. Prob
nbly nenhddud's route on his preda
tory expeditious lay through this pass,
which was narrow and easily defend
ed. Therefore when tho Syrians' com
ing wus rovnaled to Kllsha and told by
him to King .lehoram, a comparatively
small body of Israelites, posted a ltttlo
north of Dothan, would effectually
check their progress.
How can we apply to ourselves KII
f.hu'B advice, "Bewaro that thou pass
not such a placn?" Hy recognizing all
places of special temptation, and being
on our guard there. "Think of tho
men who cannot get past any gam
bling resort to save their souls! Thero
nre certain stores and hay-lofts and
street corners and ucant lots that
nre more dangerous to hoys than pest
houses. Thero Is absolutely no pos
Bible safety except In n voiding them."
Boys, and men. too, beware!
How did Ttenhadad plan to circum
vent ISlinhn? Sending hples, and learn
ing that th prophet was living at
Dothnm, he sent a large body of cav
nlry and chailols to capture him. To
secure such a man was vital. It would
nt once deprive .lehoram of one who
was Inspii ctl by tho gods and put him at
the service of Syria, for It would be as
sumed that he could be bribed to help
either hide.
How did Kllsha, In tho knowiedgo
of his heavenly helpers, meet tho
Syrlnns? Our version, the Hebrew,
implies that Kllsha and his servant
boldly went down from Dothan Into
tho valley, and that the leaders of the
Syrians came down from the heights
on which they wero encamped, to par
ley with the prophet. Ho prayed; for
prayer is the recourse of all the strong
est men in the time when they need to
bo strongest. Prayer Is a powerful
thing, for God has bound nnd tied him
pelf thereto. He prayed that blindness
'might fall upon the Syrians, and at
onco his prayer was granted. Not lit
eral blindness Is meant, probably, for
they woro ablo to follow Kllsha to Sa
mnrin, but a confusion of vision or of
mind, so thnt they wero readily de
luded. Perhaps only tho lenders wero
affected.
1 Why did Kllsha lead tho Syrians ten
miles to Samaria? To show them, and
also to show the Israelites, how power
less they wero before Jehovah. Kllsha
raado the pompous and confident Inva
ders nppoar ridiculous, which Is tho
most thoiough defeat that can bo
given to any enemy HcHldes, one rea
son why Kllsha had led tho Syrians to
tho capital was tlmt they might bo
kindly treated, feasted and sent back
to Henhadad with coals of tire heap
ed upon their heads.
What Is tho great teaching of our
lesson for modem people. Tho real
ity of tho lnvlslblo world, and Its pow
er to help antl comfort. To have no
sense of tho lnvlslblo Is tho ruin of
art. It is the ruin of all life also. .Many
will believe only what their uiilnstruct
ed eyes can see.
Christians should be continually up
held by tho realization of their angel
ic helpers. The bravo man need not
neo any celestial form with spear and
helmot by his side, yet ho may know
as ho goos out to the battlo that tho
nplrits of justico everywhere are sym
pathizing with him nnd helping him In
unknown ways. Tho mother may
not discern an angel bending over tho
bed on which her child is laid, but'
Btlll she mny know that thoro aro othor
watcherB by Its bed besldo herself, spir
its whom Ood has sent to seo that
nono of his ltttlo ones take any harm.
The soul In Its bereavement may not
look to see hero again tho very pres
onco and fonturo of tho friend whom
God has tnkon, yet still mny bo sure
that even now, In such unknown wnys
as soul may present Itaolf to soul, his
friend is with him, for encouragement
and strength. Pity wo cannot now
practice Kllsha's plan of ending war.
When tho comet of Octobor, 1S58,
appeared, a lecturer made a tour of
Bomo country villages In Devonshire
with n view to telling tho country peo
ple como facts about tho beautiful ob
ject; and among other points ho touch
ed upon tho calculations which astron
omers had made as to the enormous
longth of tho tnll of tho comet. A
countryman treated this part of his
lecture with contemptuous Incredulity.
"I saw the comet mysolf," said tho
man, "nnd Its tall wns Just four feet
long; nnd how aro wo to bollovo this
man who comes to tell us that It Is
ever so many millions of mllos?"
Romantic Career of "The
Man Eloquent."
Great Southwestern Pioneer Who
Was Chief Among the Cherokee
Indians Ho Best Understood
the Indian's Character.
Austin, Tex. No more unique and
remarkable chnrnctcr ever appeared
in our history than (len. Sam Houston,
of Tcxns. lie camo of a family that
emigrated from tho north of It eland,
n place which may Justly boast of tho
ancestry of such men as Stark, of tho
Revolution; Crockett, of the Alutno,
nnd Jackson himself. Tho family uaH
one of consideration, entitled to coat
armor In the old country. Though they
did not belong to tho landed gentry,
they had been largo and prosperous
farmers.
Houston's father was nn ofllcor of
tho brigade of rlllemen that Morgan
led to Washington's assistance from
tho right side of tho Potomac. Ills
mother wns one of thoso pioneer wom
en of superb physique, high principles
and strength of mind and couragu to
match. After tho death of her hus
band when Sam, who was born In
1793, wns but 13 years old, Bho took
tho family over tho Alleghaules and
ECttlcd on the borders of the Chcrokeo
nation In western Tcnncssoe.
Sam's educational opportunities
wero meager, but ho made tho beBt
of them and hnil no occasion to blush
when pluctd besldo tho most distin
guished men of his time. According
c some, his unwillingness to clerk
in a country store, and, according to
others, tho refusal of his older broth
ers to permit him to study 1-atln,
caused him to abandon civilization
and cast his lot with the CherokeeB
After several years ho returnod to
civilization and opened a country
school, but soon left It to Join tho
army. Ho enlisted in tho Creek war
in 1813, nnd greatly distinguished him
uolf nt the battlo of Tohopeku, or
Horscshoo Dend, whero ho wns twlco
wounded.
Tho war over, ho studied law, and
in 1819 wns elected district nttorney
of Davidson county, Tennessee. In
1823 ho was elected to congress, and
Gen. Sam Houston.
was ro elected in 1825. At tho closi
of his second term he was elected,
practically without opposition, Gov
crnor of Tennessee, and was spoken
of as a presidential possibility.
In 1829 ho was married to a beau
tiful and highly accomplished young
lady of Nashville. Three months lat
er, to tho surpriso and utter aston
ishment of everybody, he suddenly re
signed tho governoshlp, deserted hie
young wife, and mysteriously disap
peared. Ho was next henrd of anions
tho Cherokee Indians, tho friends of
his boyhood, who had been removed
to tho Indian Territory.
Ho remained among the Indiana
four yenrfi, was admitted to their coun
cils, wan elected a chief, and took un
to himself a wife, the dnughter of n
famous warrior. In 1S32 ho vlslttd
Washington In tho interest of the
tribes who wero being defrauded by
tho rascally agents of tho government
Tho same year he went to Texas on
n mission to the Commancho Indinns
as a representative of President Jack
son. Texas wns Just entering upon
her strugglo for independence from
Mexico, and Houston was Induced to
remain In the country and glvo his un
divided nld to tho causo. On tho out
break of hostilities ho was elected
commander-in-chief of tho .Texan nrmy.
Hy n masterly stroko of military
ntrntegy ho succeeded in decoying
Gen. Snnta Ann, tho Mexican comman
der, from his baso of supplies and ad
ministered to him n crushing defeat
at tho battlo of San Jacinto, April 21,
1S3G.
In September following ho wnB
eloctcd president of tho republic of
Texas, whoso Independence had been
prevlouiily dcclnrod on March 2, 183C,
and, after an Interim of two years,
was re-elected for a second term. HIb
Influence was potent in bringing nbotit
tho annexation of Texas to the United
States in 1845; nnd, on the accom
plishment of annexation, ho wns elect
ed to the United States senate, whero
ho sat for 12 years. Two terms as
governor of tho state rounded out his
official career. Ho died in lluntsvllle,
Texas, July 2G, 18G3.
No other man In this country Tins
so fully understood tho Indian's char
ncter nB Houston, Ho of all men, best
understood their feelings and as
plrations, and most dooply sympa
thized with them in their strugglo
against manifest destiny in tho person
of tho white man. Ho fully entered
into their thought and was "Tho Red
Man Eloquent"

Colds and Chills Bring Kidney Ills
February, March and April are the backache months, because the' are months of colds, chills,
grip and pneumonia, with their congesting, weakening influence on the kidneys. Colds, chills, or grip strain
the kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders and uric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired
and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment,
etc. Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by helping to pass off
the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring
months. They stop backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent colds from settling
on the kidneys. Strong testimony proves it. What better evidence could you ask?
