Tho approzimnto time covered by these Icbboiib is fron 10D1 or 1078 H. C. to 1035 or 1023 II. U Bomewhere between CO and CO yours, Tho most prominent character Is David. Ho Is related to ovcry lesson, except tho first, cither as an actor or an author. This fact gives us a center about which to revolve our review, ny mak ing assignments a week In advance a chapter summary of David's life can bo presented as follows: Chapter 1, Saul's disobedience, nnd Its relation to David. II, Tho secluded shepherd boy nnd Samuel. Ill, Tho boy nnd tho giant. IV, Tho musician and tho king. V, Tho boy and his friend. VI, Tho young man In exllo. VII, Tho young man as king. VIII, Tho king and the ark. IX, Tho king's great Bin. The re maining lcsBons will mako excellent Trading matter to bo Interspersed with the presentation of the various chap tors and wo may call the whole pro gram "From Obscurity to Power." An excellent suggestion Is mado In "Peloubet'B Selected Notes," of mak ing a large chart ruled vertically lntc five columna and horizontally lntc twelve spaces, ono for each lesson. Label tho vertical columns respective ly, place, characters, Intervening events, key verse, and principal teach ing. Then have each of tho sixty dif ferent spaces assigned to classes or to individuals who will each In turn, be ginning at tho upper left hand corner with lesson one, fill In the different spaces in order until tho wholo chart is covered. If a blackboard is used theso facts can bo written within the different squares, otherwise care must be taken to havo the facts written up on previously prepared pieces of card board, or paper, each to correspond to the dimensions of the various squares on tho large chart. As in tho caso ol the "chapter review," previous sug gested, Lessons III, XI and XII, being from the Psalms, may be read and no further attention be given to them so far as the chart Is concerned. For the younger classes a good story teller can give a running story of the lessons which will prove highly Interesting. To drill the school or the separate classes on some of tho outstanding facts of tho books of First and Second Samuel and tho Psalms will prove a profitable expenditure of time. For illustration: Who are the heroes of First Samuel? Of Second Samuel? What chief events in tho life of David are recorded in First Samuel? In Sec ond Samtlel? Where Is the record of David and Goliath? If a running commentary is desired the following suggestions may help: Lesson I. Saul is set aside, hence the need of David, "a man after God's own heart." Lesson II. Samuel's choice set aside and David the youngest son is select ed to be king. Lesson III. The wonderful shepherd psalm which is a "testimony" of David the shepherd king. (Have the school recito it in concert.) Lesson IV. A venture of faith, Je hovah's watchful care over David, and tho downfall of a mighty foe. Lesson V. Saul's vain attempt to slay David. Tho development of hatred, the protecting care over those who "put their trust in Jehovah." Lesson VI. The love of David and Jonathan, an illustration of tho sur rendered life and a type of the love for us of one who has said, "Hence forth I call you not servants but friends." Lesson VII. David's generosity to his persistent persecutor. David did not do to Saul what Saul tried to do to David. Though selected to becomo the king, David recognized in Saul one of God's chosen men nnd patiently bided his time till God should remove this recreant, disobedient servant and place him in the position of power. Lesson VIII. David exalted to bo king, first over Judah and later over the entire nation. Also tho record of his shrewd manner of making friends with all of tho tribes of Israel. Lesson IX. David established Jeru salem to be both the civic and relig ious center of the nation. His Joy In worship and in God's service points forward to our "chief shepherd." Lesson X. David was after all only human. In tho midst of his idle lux ury ho succumbed to tho allurement of temptation and committed an awful sin, an act that involved many others nnd mude tho sum total ono fearful to behold. How are the mighty fallen! Tho higher they aro tho harder tho fall. Let this part of the review consist of reading tho psalms with but little, preferably no, comment. If what has gone before has been prayerfully and vividly presented, comment on these two lessons is need less. They so clearly and cogently con nect themselves with David's life as to leave llttlo mora to be said, and the review will end with tho psalmist's note of prayerfulness and his trust In Jehovah, the testimony of his personal knowledgo and experience, FolRWeTouclY fiv Passing Julia QiondlGrMcirK OF MORE AVAIL Evory man who came In contact with The-Glrl-wIth-thc-Clover-Tonguo Bought her favor. Wherever she went Bho was easily the center of attraction, nnd tho limn who happened to bo her escort never fulled to feel n senso of pride In tho fact. Friends of her own sex who were JcnloiiB of her popularity guarded their secret carefully, for The-Glrl-with-tho-Clever-Tongue hud a quick wit, nnd her venomous snrcaBms did not al ways spare even her closest friends. In her heart of hearts almost every girl In her Boclnl circle was secretly afraid of hor, even while they envied her fascinating vivacity, and the clev erness of hor repartee. This wns particularly truo of The-Glrl-More-Klnd-Tlinn-Clevcr, whom no ono had over heard utter a witticism, although ovcry ono admitted her gen tleness and her kindness of heart and loved hor even whllo they considered her something of a bore. And they all felt sorry for tho distressing fre quency with which sho becamo the butt of the sallies of Thc-Glrl-with-the-Clover-Tongue, who took a keen do light In watching tho tender eyes of her victim widen with pain when some particularly clever sarcasm wrung a laugh from her companions. The Man was talking to The-Girl-Moro-KInd-Than-Clever, but ho was conscious of the imperious young woman who was tho center of a laugh ing group at tho other end of tho room; a young woman who waB boast ing to her circle of Intimates that onco sho engaged tho attention of Tho Man ho would forget tho oxlstenco of The-GIrl-More-KInd-Thnn-Clcver. No one who listened doubted that The-Glrl-with-the-Clever-Tonguo could mako good her boast, and so It was that no ono was surprised when tho party broko up that sho had held Tho Man in rapt attention from tho mo ment sho had secured an introduction to him until the time came when he was forced to resume his escort of The-GIrl-More-KInd-Than-Clever. And if ho was moro passing witty and entertaining on their way homo It was because ho bad been put on his 1 ' Hi Wk Jf i .IB tP mm I JaflaflHcmv' 'IA r WiV 7 I " JrJwWwfr$WnKm ?

Tho Man had been paying court to Tho-Girl-with-the-Clcvcr-Tongue for bIx months. Sho had kept him in leash by the power of her wit and the charm of her vivacity, and sho felt that his heart was an ally of his admiration. They were seen much together, and the brilliance of The Man's wit was beginning to win an equal fnme with that of Tho -Girl -with -the -Clover-Tonguo, although every ono Bald that it was her cleverness which he re flected. Everybody saw tho proud light in The Man's eyes when The-GIrl-wlth-the-Clover-Tongue held hor auditors In a spellbound circle, and everybody ex pected tho announcement of their engagement. RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF But tho announcement was not mado. Tho Man was tho most dcslrnblo catch in town. Aside from this tho heart of Tho -Girl- with -tho -Clever-Tonguo wns involved. Shu had mado up her mind from tho first to enanaro Tho Man, and now that sho know that slit loved him Bite was more deter mined than ever. Sho never doubted that she could, for it hud been her pastlmo to bring men to her feet only to send them about their business again with her Btluglng sarcasms ran kling in their hearts. The-Glrl-with-the-Clever-Tonguo wns well aware that her largo following of ndmlrors expected somo dotlnlto con summation of tho open court paid her by Tho Man, and It stung her pride that she lmil nothing to report. Ho laughed at her clover sallies. He enjoyed vying with her In her gamo of brilliant rcparteo. Ho was proud of her popularity, but for somo reason, which The-Glrl-with-thoClevor-Tonguo could not understand, he did not ask her to marry him. Onco In n groat whllo It reached her ears that Tho Man wus still friends with Tho-Glrl-More-Kind-Than-Clovor, but it gave her no concern. "A man doesn't marry a bore!" Bho remarked, and then mado it n point to be a llttlo moro scathing und personal in her sarcasms whenever sho chanced to meet The-Glrl-More-Kind-Than-Clev. er. Tho-Girl-wIth-the-Clover-Tonguo had not seen Tho Man for several wcekB when ho invited her to a danco. Sho heard ho had bocn out of tho city. Someone said that ho had been to sec The-GIrl-Morc-Klnd-Than-Clover, who had not come home from tho moun tains, but Thc-Glrl-witli-thc-Clover-Tonguo hooted at tho very idea. And Bho mado up her mind to put a stop to such rumors. Sho put on tho prettiest frock she owned the ono Tho Man had so much ndmlred, and determined that she would bring him up to tho point of asking her hand in marriage. Never in all her life was sho moro entertaining. Never more scintillat ing with wit. Tho Man was frankly delighted to see her again, frankly . f. rM. charmed with her brilllanco and her beauty, and thoso who saw them to gether at tho danco were perfectly euro that tho matter of their marriage had beon settled and everybody said that it would bo a fitting and bril liant match. When Tho Man nnd Thc-Glrl-with-thc-Clover-Tonguo reached tho latter's home, tho manner of Tho Man was qulto impersonal as he bado her good night, and his companion wondered greatly as she wont slowly to her room, for she was perfectly conscious that no ono bad been spared tho hurt of her sarcastic thrusts that her bril llanco might carry Tho Man quite off his feet that night. A week later a friend met Tho Man and congratulated him upon tho an nouncement of his engagement to The-Girl-Moro-Klnd-Than-Clevor, admitting hta surprise. "Why," ho said, "wo all thought you as good as engaged to Tho-Glrl-wlth-the-Clover-Tongue." "To have my life strewn with poi soned darts?" questioned Tho Man, with a laugh. "I admit," answered the friend, "that kindness of heart Is of moro avail." r r FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR Thousands of Men Who Enjoyed That Sport In Britain Are Now at the Front, Waterloo, according to tho duko of Wellington, wns won on tho plnylng fields of Eton. Should Itrltaln emerge triumphant from tho present conlllct wo may find someone rising to claim that tho campaign In Flunders was won In the English shires. Tho shires aro tho headquarters of fox-hunting, which most liumuiilturlnns denounce. Georgo llernnrd Shaw, for example, has no words strong enough to con demn It wllh. Mr. Jorroeks, tho hero of n sporting novel, describing fox hunting as "war without Its guilt and only 25 per cent of its danger." It has to bo admitted, however, that they who follow tho hounds havo answered magnificently to their country's call. There aro, It proves, ICO masterH of hounds with tho British colors, 3,000 members of hunts nnd 1,(100 hunt serv ants. To them must be added tho of ficers of the regular army who nro ac customed to rldo to hounds, likewise numbering somo thousands. The total in uu Impressive one. It suggests that tho real attraction of this sport may bo that it is, as Jorrocks said, "a surt of war." Could Spare Her. Tommy's mother wns an Invalid, so his Aunt Lavlnia looked after him and Uio house. And sho never missed it chnncu of pointing out a fault or ex pounding a precept, "Oh, dour," suld Tommy ono duy, after uuutlo had lectured him for ten minutes, "I wish 1 hud wings!" "Why, my pot?" asked mother, pleased nt this angelic Inspiration. "Oh, I'd fly up In the air with Aunt Lavlnia, and I'd fly and lly till I couldn't get any higher." "Yes, dear," said mother proudly, as tho little chap paused Impressively. "What would you do then?" "I'd drop Auut Lavlnia!" snld Tom my savagely. Stray Stories. Keen Rivalry.

DOGS SEARCH Well-Trained Animals Have Saved Many Lives on the Battlefields In France and Belgium. According to an nrtlclo written for the National Humane llevlovv, the part which dogs play In Itcd Cross work Is not generally appreciated by thoso unfamiliar with tho work which they are trained to do. No special kind of dog Is lined. Mongrels from tho city streets arc sent to the training rnmp along with pedigreed anlmnlH from the Homes of wealthy persons. Tho training camp Is situated on n plain in which trenches have been dug, ami where bushes havo been planted to afford hiding places for tho men who pnrtlrlputo in tho training, ordinarily about two months Is re quired to teach a dog hospital service, hut In somo cases when tho dog ban been so abused that he Is afraid of men, much more tlmu is necessary. After tho rerrult Iiuh grown accus tomed to his new surroundings ha in tnught to hunt through tho bushes and trenches for men. KindnesR takes tho place of thu whip and tho lump of sugar, for If a dog gets the impression thai lie Is hunting men for a reward his usefulness In the Held will bo greatly lessened. Ho is taught that It Is his duty to uoso about In odd corners for men, nnd onco he has found a wounded man to bring his cup, his rlllo or some othor loose piece of equipment to tho nearest Hod Cross stntlon. Ho then lends stretcher bear ers to tho victim. A well-trained dog, however, will simply indicate to tho men in churgo of rescue work thnt ho lnui found u wounded man. These dogs aro especially valuable, because- It often happens that tho wounded man Iiuh lost his cap, rlllo and everything elso about his person which tho dog could use as a signal. It Is estimated hat to every ono man killed and ten wounded ilvu nro reported missing. Many of tho miss ing full Into tho hands of tho en emy, but a number of them fall In bushes or in secluded spots far from their comrades. When no dogs aro available thoso wounded men fre quently die from Injuries which would never havo proved fatal hud they hud medical attention within n rcnsunnblo time. Tho French havo about 500 dogs in scrvlco nt tho present time, nnd tholr work has boon so effectlvo that a largo training camp has beon estab lished from which dogs will regularly b'o supplied to tho Hcd Cross. Tho Belgians depend upon thorn moro than any other country, perhnps, and they havo developed a special dog for tho work. In somo cases tho dogs carry first-aid kits which slightly wounded men tako from thorn and use whllo tho dog Is going for help. It Is by no means rare for ono of theso dogs to have tho saving of a hundred lives to his credit. Bruin the Hugger. Mary Speaking of animals, which Is your favorite? Hazel The bear.
