"While in this condition Saturday Mr. Itobln tried to kill himself, but ills efforts were frustrated by a watchful nurse. "With cash amounting to about $2. 000.000 and quick assets of about 000,000 some people might think it was ridiculous for us to close our doors In tills way, but we considered that as soon as the discovery of the irregularities became known it would cause a run on the bank. During the last few days certain directors put In large sums of money to strengthen the bank's condition, and In some in stances sums of more than $30,00! i were deposited. "Itobiu was chairman of the execu tive committee of the bank, and as chairman ho had great power. It was for this reason that the directors did not know just what Itobln had been doing." "The depositors will receive iOO cents n the dollar," Mr. Glfford concluded, "nnd the stockholders will get a sub ntantlal dividend If certain collateral can be realized upon."

Vfc DOKDfOK';-OKKOK0 THE YOUNG MAN'S BEST ADVIS ERS. International Bible Lesson for Jan. 1, M1 (l-Klngs 12:1-24). Solomon had a thousand wives and concubines, yet he had but ono son. Solomon was the wisest of men, yet his son, Rehoboam, was a fool. Solo mon built up, through the long years of his reign, a mighty empire. Rcho boam split It wjde open on the day of his coronation. Solomon came to tho throno when young in years, yet ho ruled In righteousncsa for many docades, until in his old age, his car nality caured his moral ruin. Itoho boam was 40 years old when ho suc ceeded to the throne, when men will show evidence of wisdom If they ovor will, yet he proved himself an arro gant scornful, hlgh-honded, pampered puppy. Sin is evidently a bad way to build up a family. Solomon could preach well on the proper way to bring up children, but he couldn't practice what he preached. The wickedness of the king's palaco was more Influential than the religion of tho king's temple. His father'a harem, filled with the strange wom en of foreign countries, neutralized all his pious precepts. Wisdom Not Inherited. Evidently wisdom nor grace runs in the blood. The companions with whom Rehoboara had keen brought up ha more Influence over him than all the practical teaching of tho 1,001 prorerb3 of which his royal fathor was the author. Rehoboam and his hare-brained counsellors by their hasty folly rent In twain a peo ple whom Moses and Joshua, the whole line of Judges and Samuel, David and Solomon had laboriously cemented together by centuries of statesmanship. And it all came about through the scorn and contempt of public opinion expressed by Rehoboam. The coun try which had been burdened with taxation to support the voluptuous splendor of Solomon's court and to carry out his great undertakings re solved to have a change when tho coronation of tho now king took place. There was without doubt causo for Improvement, and Rehoboam knew that tho dissatisfaction was wide spread and deep seated. "Thy father," said the petitioners, "mado our yoke grievous; now, therefore, mako thou tho grievous service of thy father and his heavy yoke which ho put upon us, lighter, and wo will serve thee." Two Sets of Counsellors. Whereupon Rehoboam consulted two sets of advisers, the old men, his late father's counsellors nnd men of affairs, and the young men, hia boon companions and flatterers. Tho old men counselled concessions, mod eration, promises. They said in ef fect, "You can at least put forth a platform that will promise reform. Do that, and the storm will blow over. If you do not yield something to the popular clamor, secession will surely follow." But tho hot blooded sports who had as-little foresight as tho young prince said, "Now is tho time to show your kingly quality. Make tho cravens understand that you rule by divine right. Coerce and trample on them. Tell them, that your little linger shall bo thick er than your father's loins, that you will add to their heavy yoke, that you will chastise thorn with scor pions Instead of whips." That was smart, but not politic. It tickled tho prldo of the prince, but it destroyed his Judgment. Unfortunately for him he accepted tho counsel of the young men, and actually thundered theso presumptlous words In their ears. The result was revolutionary. Ton of the tribes of Israel on receiving this violent answer, seceded from tho kingdom, roso up in open revolt and threw off their allegiance to the Kingdom of David. Rehoboam found himself left with a kingdom of only two tribes Judah and a part of Ben jamin, The magnificent kingdom over which David and Solomon had reigned was split asunder, nnd Re hoboam had only a fragment loft, Henceforth two kingdoms, Judah and Israel occupied the land. Instead of one united people, they became two nations, Jealous of each othor, and often at war. And It all came about because Rehoboam rejected the coun sel of wisdom and adopted vio lent, shortsighted, demagogic advice. Here is a tremendous lesson for tho young. Who are a young man's best counsellors? Of course, the first and most natural are his par ents. This Is practically unlvorsal. For even bad parents as a rule want their children to grow up right Tho voice of conscience Is tho voice of God In the toul. Teachers of religion in pulpit and Sunday School are also worthy of all Imitation. The Bible is the supreme guide. "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his waysT By taking heed thereto, according to thy word," These are some of the guides which will lead the perplexed and troubled soul In peace and Joy to final rest. How to manage the kingdom to which we are called, how to order our peculiar lot In life, how to enter upon the heritage trans mitted to us from our ancestors so that we may preserve it, nnd hand it down Intact to future generations, concerns overy one of us as certain ly as it did Rehoboam, tho son of Solomon. cvl in t v 8 ev'x rf; U - $ :u;i o i' J Ginc Wr'nitl ofjttc 03cuiil.fi.
