THE STORY.
DAY after day had passed, and still
Moses did not return. Days grew
Into weeks, and the weeks into a
month, and still the absent leader
had failed to put in an appearance,
so that even Aaron was troubled by
the long absence, and found increas-
ing difficulty in answering the quer-
ies of the people and quieting their
murmuring8.
This condition of affairs in the
camp of Israel encouraged certain of
the more turbulent spirits to speak
openly against Moees and to call into
question not only his demotion to Is-
rael, but his honesty of purpose in
leading them thither, as well as his
right to remain away for so long a
time.
' "Said we not," they exclaimed, with
scornful lips, "that this man would
yet play u false? Have we not trust-
ed too much into his hands? It is
well that he does not come back."
More days of waiting passed—days
of doubt and growing discontent,
which developed an unsettled feeling
that only needs the spark of encour-
'agement to call forth the bursting
flame of rebellion.
Such a condition waits only on the
lead of some daring spirit, and it was
not long before such leader appeared
' In the person of one 8eled, who for
long time had secretly cherished feel-
ings of jealousy against Moses,, which
has been deepened and intensified
aince coming to Mount Sinai, owing to
. the religious system which was de-
veloping under the direction of Moses.
This attitude was due to the fact
that Seled had been reared by an
, Egyptian who had given him many
advantages educating him under the
tutelage of the priesthood, from whom
he had acquired much knowledge of
the Egyptian gods and the Egyptian
form of worship* This early training
and these associations had exerted a
strong influence upon him, and while
he remained true to his Hebrew line-
age and Hebrew God, and found his
place with the Hebrew people when
they left Egypt under the lead of
Moses, he still felt the fascination of
Egyptian forms of worship, and had
since coming to Mount Sinai felt
strong inclination growing within him
to make the worship of their God as
pompous and festive as that of
Egypt.
And during Moses' absence this de-
sire had been intensified, and it was
Seled who was zealous in spreading
the feeling of discontent among the
people, and who when the time seemed
ripe was ready to lead them into open
Tevolt.
"Why should we wait longer?" Se-
led exclaimed to a group of follow-
ers one day. "Is it not well that we
should have gods to go before us?
Dare we delay longer our worship and
service? Our God may be angry with
us if we remember not him."
"But what can we do?" spoke up
one. "Aaron urges delay until Moses
shall return, declaring that he will
not fail to come back."
"Return?" burst out Seled, again,
scornfully. "Return? Why, he has
forgotten us all long ago. It would
not surprise me if he had slipped
off to his old home in Midian, where
it is said his wife and children are
still living."
"To be sure," they all exclaimed
"Thou art keen, Seled. We had not
thought of that."
"And with Moses gone, let us have
gods to go before us, like the Egyp-
tians," cried one.
"But how about Aaron? We can
not hope to succeed while he is
about," replied another, apprehen-
sively.
"Never fear," spoke up Seled, confi'
dently, "if we can rouse the people
to action, he will not dare to refuse
us our request."
This declaration seemed to strike
a popular chord in the hearts of his
followers, and soon they were plan
ning how they might so arouse the
people as to bring about a popular up-
rising against Moses.
"What is our religion without' gods
in our midst?" Seled admonished, as
he dismissed his followers. "It was
well when we met together and God
talked with Moses on the mountain,
but now we would go forward and
would have gods to go before us. So
speak to the people as you go forth,
and let us come together at the place
wherd Moses was wont to gather us,
and there we will demand of Aaron
that he make us gods."
Imbued with the new purpose, each
man sped upon his errand, and ere
the night had spent itself these sparks
of rebellion had kindled their fires,
which spread through the entire camp,
so that at the time appointed on the
morrow almost the entire congregation
of Israel was gathered at the place
agreed upon. ;
It was plain to see that Aaron, as
he gazed into the angry, determined
faces before him, realized that he
could no longer restrain the people,
and he dared not take a stand against
them. Perhaps if he temporized with
them, if he yielded in part to them,
he could still retain his control over
them, and in this compromising po-
sition, Aaron has had innumerable
followers among those who prized
more highly the following of men than
the commendation of God.
Seled was the spokesman, and as
he motioned to the people before him
to be silent, he said to Aaron:
"Up, make us gods which shall go
before us!"
A great hush, fell upon the vast con-
gregation. Aaron stood irresolutely
before them. They realized that he
was afraid, and with one mighty out-
burst of passion they echoed the
words which Seled had spoken:
"Up, make us gods which shall go
before us."
"But Moses—"Aaron started to say.
"Bah," they burst out with new5
passion, "as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land
of Egypt, we wot not what is become
of him."
Then spake Aaron, saying:
"Break off the golden earrings,
which are in the ears of your wives,
of your sons, and of your daughters,
and bring them unto me."
"We will! We will!" they cried,
with one' accord, and almost before
Aaron realized, there had been cast
at his feet a great pile of glittering
pieces of Jewelry.
And as the golden calf was com-
pleted and set up a great feast was
proclaimed, and on the morrow they
all came together, and after their of-
ferings had been made after the man-
ner shown them by Moses, they sat
down to a great feast. Then they gave
themselves to the reckless abandon
which had characterised the religious
festivals of Egypt, and which under
the tutelage of Seled they had been
led to plan for there before the
mountain of God.
But in the midst of their merry-
making, while the glitte/ing calf was
blazing out in the sunlight and daz-
zling the people with its beauty, there
came a sound from the mountain side
which caused the people to pause and
look up.
There stood their leader, Moses, gaz-
ing upon the wild scene. They saw
his eyes flash, they saw him dash at
his feet the tablets he was bearing,
they saw him rush down the hill in
righteous indignation into their midst,
and they feared greatly.
Why was it that in the presence of
one m&n who was willing to stand
with God they were as men without
strength? Why was it that all the
blatant courage and boasting which
had stained their lips during the past
few days was gone? Ah, had Aaron
understood as did Moses that one
with God is a majority, there had been
no golden calf, there had been no such
awful stain of sin resting upon the
people.
But not all were abashed in the
presence of that man of God. While
yet the people were trembling before
Moses, and he was casting the image
to the ground and grinding it to pow-
der, Seled was rallying-his followers,
and had withdrawn to one side of the
camp.
But Moses stood in the gate of the
camp and cried:
"Who is on the Lord's side? Let him
come unto me."
Quickly all the sons of Levi gath-
ered themselves unto him, and when
he had commanded them, he sent them
through the camp to destroy every
man who would not return unto the
Lord.
Thus there fell that day 3,000 men,
and among them their leader, Seled,
who unrepentant and unyielding
withstood Moses and his followers to
the face.
COULD NOT KEEP UP.
Broken Down, Like Many Another
Woman, with Exhausting Kid-
ney Troubles.
Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J.,
says: "I had kidney trouble in its
most painful and severe form, and the
torture I went
through now seems
to have been al-
most unbearable. I
had back-ache, pains
in the side and
loins, dizzy spells
and hot, feverish
headaches. There
were bearing-down
pains, and the kid-
ney secretions
passed too frequently, and with a
burning sensation. They showed sed-
iment. I became discouraged, weak,
languid and depressed, so sick and
weak that I could not keep up. As
doctors did not cure me I decided to
try Doan's Kidney Pills, and with
such success that my troubles were
all gone after using eight boxes, and
my strength, ambition and general
health is fine."

Elephants Large as Mastodons.
If the mammoth and the . mastodon
were larger than the biggest ele-
phants of this period, the difference
was slight. Their tusks seem to have
been somewhat longer and heavier,
as a rule, but their skeletons do not
indicate that the biggest of them were
much superior in size to the late la-
mented Jumbo.
Saved Him.
'It didn't kill me, but I think It
would if it had not been for Hunt's
Cure. I was tired, miserable and
well-nigh used up when I commenced
using it for an old and severe case
of Eczema. One application relieved
and one box cured me.
"I believe Hunt's Cure will cure
any form of itching known to man-
kind." Clifton Lawrence,
Helena, O. T.
Heavy Movement of Iron Ore.
The movement of Lake Superior
Iron ore during the month of June was
the heaviest during the history of the
trade. Nearly 5,500,000 tons were for-
warded to the lower lakes—a gain of
almost 500,000 tons over the corre-
sponding period last year. The total
movement this season up to the 1st
of July aggregated 11,241,596 tons,
compared with 10,814,054 tons for the
same period last year.

"My face was afflicted with eczema
in the year 1897. I used the Cuticura
Remedies, and was entirely cured. I
am a practicing physician, and very
often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Soap in eases of eczema,
and they have cured where other for-
mulas have failed. I am not in the
habit of endorsing patent medicines,
but when I find remedies possessing
true merit, such as the Cuticura Rem-

Butler's Stolen Fee.
The late Hon. Joseph Q. Hoyt, for-
merly of Boston, when a lad attended
a circus aad his silver watch was
stolen. The supposed thief was ar-
rested, and Was defended by Ben jar
min F. Butler, who proved he did
not take the watch, and never was
at the circus.
During the civil war Hoyt was In-
troduced to Butler at a dinner at tins
As tor house, in New York, and the
latter remarked: "This is the first
time Z have had the pleasure of meet-
ing you."
"Oh, no!" said Hoyt, who then re-
lated the circus incident
"Was that you, Hoyt?" asked But
ler, and, being answered in the af-
firmative, Butler laughed and said:
"That was an awful good watch,
Hoyt That is all I got for defending
the thief."
That and This.
"Twelve years ago I bought my
first bottle of Hunt's Lightning Oil.
For Cuts, Burns, Sprains and Aches
It was the best remedy I had found
to that time. After the lapse of one
dozen years I can truly say it is the
best remedy I have found to this
time." John P. Thompson,

Facts About Alaska.
Alaska is an interesting region. In
area she is twice as large as Texas,
with California thrown In, but her
resident white population numbers
only about 30,000, though in summer
she has from 10,000 to 20,000 more
whites. In fur, fish and minerals she
is rich. Since her annexation she has
furnished $50,000,000 of furs, $$0,000,.
000 of fish and $70,000,000 of minerals,
chiefly gold and silver. Her output
of gold, which was $9,000,000 in 1904,
was $16,000,000 in 1905, and will be
fully $26,000,000 in 1906.—Leslie's
Weekly.
8mail Profits of Pawnshops.
Consul General George W. Roose-
velt reports that the official report of
the Brussels pawnshop tor 1905 shows
a capital employed of $387,1$1 aad
profits made during the year of only
$4,966. The amount of loans on pawns
was $1,263,173. In 1904 the amount
loaned exceeded the amount ler 1995
bj about $96,500.
The financial world has surely not,
hitherto had much startling news to
chronicle of Thomas Dinsmore, of Pal-
ermo, Kennebec county, Maine, says
the American Banker. That gentle-
man has not surprised the commu-
nity into throes of admiration by the
establishment of hero funds nor the
foundation of any libraries. He has
not been identified with any huge cor-
poration engaged in cornering the
earth, for the earth's good, no doubt,
nor has he purchased highly v-Ticed
works' of art and presented tMaa to
an ungrateful country that insists
upon his paying duty on the gifts.
But in a way Mr. Dinsmore seems
to have cornered all the praise and
gratitude in his locality and he cer-
tainly has a monopoly in his particu-
lar industry.
At present he is engaged busily in
presenting new bankbooks showing a
five dollar deposit to each new baby
which arrives in his community. It
will be seen at once that this is not
only excellent for the banks and fine
for the babies, but it will in all like-
lihood prevent any appreciable tend-
ency toward race suicide.
Some time ago Mr. Diasmore be-
gan the practice of presenting every
school graduate with a new bankbook
and one dollar. The good work of this
gentleman is necessarily limited, but
he has sounded the depths of the coun-
try's need. Not by railing against
capital and capitalists nor preaching
equality and the equal distribution oi
property will the evil of huge
money concentration be remedied. By
teaching foresight and judicious sav-
ing to the children and inculcating a
spirit of desire of possession in the
beginning pf their education he will
do more toward increasing the aver-
age wealth of the people than any
other project yet put forth.
Massachusetts, a fairly conservative
state, calculates that its people save
on an average 33 cents a week
each. The absurdity of such a figure
In the face of the extremely high rate
of wages is patent to every sensible
person. It is high time that the cit-
izens of the country began to realize
that more economy, thrift and indus
try on their part would change the
conditions which they consider a dan-
ger to the nation. Careful considera-
tion of the subject will show that
these qualities are what made the
other man's fortune for the most part.
Therefore, of vital use to the mental,
moral and financial condition of the
coming generation is the good work
Mr. Dinsmore is doing in Maine among
children. Teach them that a bankbook
is a sign of respectability. Decrease
the tendency to squander the whole
of the income on luxuries without re-
gard to future needs and possible
wants, and the socialistic as well as
the monetary conditions of the coun-
try will show an immediate improve-
ment.
AT LEAST ONE IMPROVEMENT.
Quality Had Been Added To, If Quart*
tity Was Shy.
Joel Perkins was one of the first set-
tlers in the plantation of Milton, Ox-
ford county, Me. Taking up a section
of wild land, he built himself a cabin,
and each season cleared a small patch
and raised a fair crop of grain and po-
tatoes.
Other settlers came in around him,
and he was able from time to time to
sell them a portion of his surplus crop,
trusting them until they could pay.
Having no account books, he marked
with chalk on his cabin door what
they owed him.
After several years he thought he
could afford to take a wife, and, find-
ing a comely lass In the neighboring
town of Bethel,' he married her and
took her home.
While Joel was at work In the fields
his wife spent the time cleaning up the
house. One night, on his return, she
called his attention to what she had
done, especially to the inside of the
cabin door.
"Oh, Mary!" he cried, "you have
rubbed out all my accounts agin the
neighbors, and I don't know what I
shall do!"
"Oh, never mind, Joel," she said,
"you can mark it all down again."
He made no reply, but, taking a
piece of chalk, covered the door once
more with figures and, with a sigh, sat
down.
"There, Joel," exclaimed Mary, '7
knew you could do it, and you have,
haven't you?"
"Well, Mary, I don't know as I have
writ down as much as I had before, but
I know one thing. It's agin a darned
sight better men!"
Robespierre's Change of Heart.
Robespierre, of the French revolu-
tion, the man who was destined to
deluge France with blood, was, not
long before his frightful career of
power began, one of the most strenu
ous opponents of capital punishment.
While he was still an obscure advocate
at his native Arras he threw up an ap-
pointment because of his opposition to
this form of penalty. And just when
his star was in the ascendant he bold-
ly harangued the national assembly to
prove "that the punishment of death
|s essentially unjust, that it has no ten-
dency to repress crimes, and that it
multiplies offenses much more than il
diminishes them."
Agreed.
"Father," cried the stage-struck
youth, "you must let muh choose me
own course. I feel that I was born
for the boards."
"Well, gosh all hemlock!" answered
the father, "ain't I tryin' ter make •
carpenter of ye?"
Good Colors for Houses.
It is not generally known—not even
among painters—why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hazy.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
■ays that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect a
house better than those which allow these
ravs to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm tones
are good ana the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house, select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Ayoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like
grass green, etc.), and the blues.
It must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in_ themselves, irre-
spective of the materials used in the
paint. Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off, if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead—some
well-known brand of a reliable manufac-
turer—and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tinta mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.
Another Dig at Powers.
A few days ago Gov. Cobb, of
Maine, and Hon. W. R. Pattangall,
prominent in politics in the same
state, were together on a train. Mr.
Pattangall is a lawyer and an editor,
the writer of the humorous "Meddy-
bemps Letters" appearing in his pa-
per, the Machias Union.
In the course of conversation, Gov.
Cobb remarked to Mr. Pattangall: "I
don't see why you and Llwellyn Pow-
ers should be so extremely antag-
onistic to each other. Neither of you
ever fails to give the other a rap
when there is opportunity."
At this point an interested listener
in the car leaned toward their chairs
and asked: "Is It really true that ex-
Gov. Powers is of Indian descent?"
"Well, the Indians deny it" Mr.
Pattangall answered, in his inimitable
manner.

Origin of Knighthood.
Knighthood was intended to serve
as a mark of distinction for deeds of
renown and merit. "Knight" properly
signifies a person who, for his virtue
and martial prowess, is raised from
the rank of gentleman into a higher
class of dignity and honor.
Switzerland's Silk Production.
Few people probably suspect the
extent to which Switzerland figures
among the silk-producing countries of
the world, which, so far as Europe Is
concerned, have always been supposed
to be France and Italy. But Switzer-
land exports annually silk to the value
of about $20,000,000, nearly all going
to European countries.
