The real founder of the tribe was Jonadab, a son or descendant of Ilechab. They were worshipers of Jehovah, though not Israelites, and the worship of Baal was very offensive to them. To guurd them agqinst apostacy and to Insure the preservation of their peculiar tribal life Jouadab bound theni to abstemiousness and to a nomadic life. They were "to drink no wine," neither were they to build house nor sow seed nor plant vineyard, noi have any, but all your days ye .shall dwell in tents." The ltecbabltes were faithful to the demands of their founder for two centuries and a half. The invasion of Nebuchadnezzar drove them Into Jerusalem, where tliey Btlll resisted the temptations to breuk theli vows. It Is claimed that about (#D.000 of their descendants still remain. They live near Mecca, In the mountain conn try northeast of Medina, and still adhere to the old rules of their tribe. flLVER  Hiiy Western Cities Swept by-Floods.

C Kajisas City, Mo.. June 1 —Kansas City is, except for a stretch of land to the south, an island tills morning and its main wholesale and manufacturing centers are. several feet under a raging sea of water which Is increasing every hour. The watC*r supply is cut off, lights are out, the s'treet car lines are dead. The city has practically no communication with the outside world by rail. Fire is raging above the flool in many places in the west bottoms, nnd no means exist for fighting It. No communication is in any way possible with Kansas City, Kans., Armourdale, Argentine or Harllm. 'The last three towns are wiped off the map. The Kaiv river has made itself a new channel and is running 12 miles nn hour wlicrc Armourdale was last Friday. Every hrtdge has gone out. of the Kaw river between here and Kansas City, Kan. Tens of thousands of tons of meat are ruined, the entire west bottoms are flooded, the water is up to the second Btory windows beyond the Union depot and is ten feet high in the waiting rooms of that structure, yet withstands the flood. Fire is sweeping up tho long lines of box cars there and several buildings have been burned. How many lives have been lost it Is Impossible to estimate. Some say 50, others place it lower. A11 Is guesswoilt. The exact number will probably never be known, for the current Is so swift that It carries everything before it down stream. The situation here ir. so desperate that the National Guard has taken charge and is policing the town. Chief Hayes has given an order to shoot thieves on sight. The counci'. was called In special session with the Commercial Club at 10 o'clock to devise ways and means for relief. Four teen thousand people in that part of the town known. as Armourdale are homeless. Eight thousand persons in Kansas City, Kan., are on the verge »f starvation. There is not n loaf of bread or a pound of steak in the city, and unless speedy relief is forthcoming the situation will be appalling. AJ1 too thoroughly has the deluge ddne Its fearful work. It not only added to Its usual peril the flery danger that aided it to blot out the northern part of the city, but It simultaneously obliterated its traces by sweeping the burned buildings nnd bodies to points beyond the reach of those who have made the boldest excursions through the ruined region.

The executive committee of the textile trades has Issued n statement to the public giving tho reasons for the strike. The statement snys that thirty-six trades, representing 00,000 persons, ask for a fifty-live hour week with a proportionate reduction In wug€*, and throe trades, representing 10,000 workers, ask fo* the shorter week with the same wages as pijd at present or a slight increase averaging 10 per cent.

Surrounded on all sides by temptations, their claim is that they cannot refuse to drink. Many honestly believe this, although they would personally prefer not to touch intoxicating drinks. But all temptations by the power of God can be overcome. Look at the Rechabites. They bod been surrounded by the general debuuehery of Jerusalem and yet were untouched, and when they were brought face to face with temptation under pecullur circumstances they courageously replied, "We will drink no wine." What tlicy did bluntly Daniel under somewhat similar circumstances did more suavely, yet neither suffered for the stand taken. Nor would we today if we kindly, but tirmly, declined all Invitations to drink wine or other Intoxicating drinks. The world lionors and admires the man who has convictions and stands by them rather than the one who weakly gives in to its temptations against his convictions. Lawn Grass Seed.

The Hechabltes lived as they did to preserve their tribal character and to prolong their lives, "that ye may live many days in the land where ye arc strangers." For national preservation and a long and happy life they took and kept the Itechublte vows, and they were amply repaid. Intcmperanco is one of our national sing, and for the nation's welfare the American people need to beeome more abstemious. And nothing today does more to assure happiness, health and longevity to the individual than temperance in all things. God also blessed the Hechabltes for their faithfulness to the rules of their futliers, and in so doing He placed the stamp of His approval upon temperance. That He has stamped Intemperance with Ills disapproval is evidenced by the evils that result from it. Let us therefore follow the example of the Recliabites. Let us decide to totally abstain from Intoxicating drinks, and when the tempter says, "Drink ye wine," let us like them courageously reply, "We will drink no wine." 1 lb Saleratus X lb can Brook Trout Shoes $3.00 to $8.60 Ladies' Dongola Oxfords from $1.00 to $2.50, We only quote a few, but to realise what these goods are yon want • to call.
