Thc barber lathered his face in silence.
Then he strapped his razor.

policeman who picked him up. "Not a

an openwork stocking that a.pretty girl
was exposing, and the car struck me.
Blame it on the stocking."

International Lesson Comments for
November 1.
Subjec': David and Absalom, 2 Sam. xv., 1-12
?Ooldea Text, Ex. xx., 12?Memory
Verses, 4-6?Commentary on
the Day's Lesson.
1. Absalom stealing thc hearts of the
people (vs. 1-6). 1. ''After this." After
Absalom's return from Geshur and his res?
toration and reception by David (chap. 14:
21-33). "Chariots and horses." Absalom
imitated the magnificence of foreign mon?
archs in order to make an impression on
the people. Horses were a novelty anions
the Hebrews, only recently introduced
from Egypt, and wore costly and rare.
"Fifty." A son of the king riding in a
statc'chariot with fifty footmen as attend?
ants would prove a great attraction. David
was so indulgent that he seems to have
taken no notice of it.
2. "Rose up early." Public business in
the East is in many places transacted early,
before the heat of the day. Possibly his
early rising was intended to forestall the
king, who waa certain to sit in the gate
during part of the day. It would thus ap?
pear that he had the real good of the peo
Ele upon his heart, and would make a no
le king, just suited to their present needs.
Those in trouble were likely to fear that
justice would not be shown them, and
would eagerlv extend their support to one
who appeared concerned for their interests.
Absalom relied greatly upon his own pow?
ers. Though his father was indeed very
forgiving he despised him in his heart.
3-6. ,5Good and right." Thus to win fa?
vor he 'gave a decision before an investi?
gation was made. Thy case is a worthy
and righteous one and ought to be tried,
and all thy grievances redressed. "No
man deputed. Absalom guards against
accusing the king himself or injustice, but
he excites in the mind of the people dis?
trust of the king's whole judicial practice
by saying that there was no regular judicial
process for a just cause. The "hearer" is
thc judicial officer whose duty it was first
to hear and understand the people's and
then lay them before the king. ' Oh, that
J." Thus he professed extraordinary gen?
erosity and interest in public affairs, yet
appearing to have no 6eifish desire in the
matter. We do not read of his Avisdom,
virtue or learning in the laws, nor had he
Riven any proofs of his love of justice, yet
he wished to be judge, and such a judge
that every man who had any cause would
come to him. "Obeisance." The custom?
ary greeting, as bowing to the ground.
"He kissed him." Embraced him a.s a
friend or brother, apparently forgetful of
his position and honor. "Stole the hearts."
By his beautv and pretended friendship
with them and anxiety for them he turned
the people from his father to himself. "He
did not gain their hearts by eminent serv?
ices, or by wise and virtuous conduct. Ab?
salom suggested that if he could be judge
suits would not then be so tedious, expen?
sive and partially decided as they were.
Thus lie imposed upon many all over the
land, and led them to prefer a worthless
character to the wise, righteous and pious
David.
II. Absalom's rebellion (vs. 7-12). 7-9.
"After forty years." Rather after four
years. It is generally admitted that forty
years is a mistake in the text. The time
must be the years after Absalom's return
to Jerusalem and his beginning to practice
the base arts of gaining popularity. "Pay
my vow." It seemed to David that con?
science had at last prevailed, and that
right was to be done. Local sacrifices were
still customary, and the visit of the king's
son for such a purpose would be celebrated
by a general holiday and much feasting at
Hebron. David was glad at this indication
of religious feeling on Absalom's part. The
deceitful son pretended to have been a
strict follower of Jehovah even while he
was in a heathen country. "Go in peace."
These were David's last words to'Absalom;
They expressed his strong confidence in his
son, as well as a wish for his happiness.
He seems to have been utterly without sus?
picion that black conspiracy was hidden
under Absalom's avowed object of going to
offer sacrifice at the place of his birth, and
where he himself had reigned over Judah
for seven years. David was probably, at
this time, a rather lax monarch. "So he
went." To perform the most unmanly and
base act a son could commit against a
father.
10. "Sent spies." To find out public
opinion and prepare to proclaim Absalom
king when the signal was given. "Absalom
reigneth." On the sudden spreading of
this proclamation some would conclude
David was dead, others that he had re?
signed, and thus they that were in the se?
cret would drav/ in many to appear for Ab?
palom, who. if they had rightly understood
the matter would have abhorred the
thought of it.
11, 12. "With Absalom went 200 men."
These were courtiers such as usually ac?
companied kings and king's sons on their
journeys. They were probably of the prin?
cipal men of jerusalem, whom he invited
to join him in the feast on his sacrifice.
They were kept ignorant of Absalom's
wicked plot. Ahithophel?David's coun?
sellor." It is supposed by the Jews that
Ahithophel was incensed against David for
abusing Bathsheba, his granddaughter. He
had been David's most trusty counsellor;
so highly valued was his advice that men
regarded it as an oracle of God (chap. 16:
23), and long had the king profited by his
wisdom and experience until the outrage
upon his family made him retire from the
king's court to his native city, Giloh, near
Hebron. The manner of Absalom's send?
ing for him seems to indicate that he was
already connected with the plot. "The
people increased." This shows that deep
and general dissatisfaction existed at this
time against the person and government of
David.
III. David's flight from Jerusalem (vs.
13-23). The rebellion proved pppular. And
Absalom moved swiftly to Jerusalem. As
soon as David heard of it he proposed to
flee from.Jerusalem and leave the city and
the kingdom to his son. This action seems
very strange. But, politically considered.
David's action was the wisest that could
be taken. For (1) sp sudden was the out?
break that the city was not in a condition
to stand a siege, and the popular exciter
ment had so seriously affected the citizens
that David scarcely knew whom to trust.
He might be betrayed if he remained. (2)
He would not fight against hi9 own lovea
son. (3) David's kind nature induced him
to spare Jerusalem the horrors of a siege
and the risk of being taken by assault. (4)
He probably judged, too, and rightly, that
delay would be unfavorable to Absalom's
plan, an opinion which Ahithophel held,
too (see 17: 1, 2), and also Hushai (17:
7-13). (5) It must also be remembered
thnt in time of peace David had no stand*
ing army with which to resist this sudden
attack from so unexpected a quarter. (6)
Possibly, too, the remembrance of Nathan's
prophesy (12: 10-12) tended to paralyze
David's natural vigor and incline bim to
gentle counsels.
Costllost Knife in the World.
The most valuable knife in the world
ts to be seen in the collection of a
famous firm of cutlers In Sheffield. It
ls large enough to fit the pocket of
none but. a giant, and contains seven?
ty-five blades, which close up like
those of an ordinary knife. Each of
the larger blades is elaborately en?
graved, and among the subjects of
these strange pictures are views of
Sheffield Collage, the city of York,
Windsor Castle, Arundel Castle and a
score of other famous scenes. Tho
hafts are of mother-of-pearl, carved
with great skill. On one side the ar?
tist has depicted a stag-hunt and on
thf other a boar-hunt. When asked
as to the value of this knife a mem?
ber of the firm replied:
"Well, we calculated it up to ?920,
but that was before it was finished,
and then we ceased to figure on the
coat," .

SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE-Rll|
Mrs'. Hattie La Fountain, Treas. Protected Home Circle and Catholic Ladies of
Ohio, writes from Galion, 0., as follows:
"After my first child was born I suffered for several months with*
bearing down pains accompanied by dreadful headaches. I was a/raid
my health was ruined for life, and felt very downcast about it. One day
when, a friend was visiting me she told me of Peruna and what it had
dona for her when she suffered with irregular menstruation. My hus- i
band procured a bottle the same evening and I began to take it daily
according to directions. Before the first bottle was used I was entirely,
well, and you certainly have one grateful woman!s blessing. 1 have i
also advised my friends to use it." MRS. HATTIE LA FOUNTAIN.
Secretary Woman's Slate Federation
Says: "Pe-ru-na Does More Than
is Claimed For lt."
Mrs. Julia M. Brown. Secretary of tho
Woman's State Federation of California,
?writes from 131'^ Fifth St., Los Angeles,
Cal., as follows:
"I have never known of any patent
medicine which did what it professed to
do except Peruna. This remedy does
much more than it claims, and while I
have never advocated any medicine I feel
that it is but justice to speak a good word
for it because I have found it to be such
a rare exception.
"I have known several women who were
little better than physical wrecks), mothers
who dragged out a miserable, painful ex?
istence, nut were made well and strong
through the use of Permia. I have known
of cases of chronic catarrh which were
eured in a short time, when a dozen dif?
ferent remedies had been experimented
with and without good results. I use it
myself when I feel nervous and worn out,
and I have always found that the results
were most satisfactory."
