KING DAVI0'3 SOLDIERS.
Tha Orrat Ituler r.lal.lUhe.l un Aduilp
ablo Military Kyato.ni.
The kingdom of Israel In the time
of David embraced a territory about
equal to the state of Massachusetts and
had a population nearly the same a3
ihat or New York 6,000,000 or more.
That It was able to dominate the ter
ritory between the Mediterranean and
the Ktiphrates and from Damascus to
the Gulf of Arabia, with powerful
neighbors pressing upon it from all
sides, was duo to the military genius
of David and the admirable military
system established by him. In It Is
found not only the germ but the full
development of the modern system of
universal military service as applied In
Germany and France. Its fundamen
tal principle was that recognized by
our great modern states, that every
able-bodied man owes military service
to the state, which he must actually
pay for a certain period In peace and
war. David transformed the Irregular
fighting forces of Israel into an organ
ized and effective army. This included
what wo should now call a landwehr
of 2SS.00O men, divided into twelve
corps of 21,000 men, each corps being
in time of peace called into active ser
vice for one month In tho'year, so that
there were always 24.000 men In camp.
In war requisitions were made on this
force as needed and the troops were
placed under the command of a gen
eral of tried courage and ability, be
longing to a specially trained military
body peculiar to the kingdom of
Israel.
When David was driven to such ex
trcmeties by the unexpected rebellion
of his son Absalom and had fled across
Jordan, a wanderer in the wilderness
of Judea, he Eecured his final triumph
by means of his bodyguard, all thor
ough soldiers, trained for duty as of
ficers. Through their instrumentality
Ihe new levies were rapidly organized
'nto companies, regiments and bri
gades. It Is interesting to note that
the march of Absalom when he led
his great army across Jordan against
his roynl father, was through the
"wood of Kphralm." a wild tract near
the mountains of Gilead, resembling
In its physical features the Virginia
"Wilderness," where Grant and Lee
tried conclusions. The position held
by David was like that of Leo on the
Rapid.m and Absalom In marching
through the "wood of Ephraim" an
ticipated by nearly 3,000 years Grant's
movements of May ii and 6, 1804. The
strategy of Joab, who commanded the
hosts of David, was precisely that of
Lee, he hurling three strong columns
on Absalom's line of marc!. Chicago

The widow of a prominent member
of a sporting club who recently died
Is much incensed, it is said, over the
officiating priest's choice of words at
the funeral obsequies. The club mem
bers are heavy drinkers, and it is well
known that on their excursions in a
body their favorite drink is beer. By
invitation of the widow they were in
attendance at the funeral, and at the
close of the ceremony the reverend
father brought down upon himself the
wrath of the widow and marred the
solemnity of the occasion by request
ing that the members of the club
would now pass around the bier."

This Is a favorite expression with

to claim that they are "not in the

tho advantage of advertising their
goods as "not In the trust." It helps
them to sell an inferior article that
