Down in the vicinity of Tupelo,"
said Private John Allen to a Washing
ton Post man, some time during the
summer of 1896 q traveller on horse
back espied tow-headed, bare-legged
country youth of about IA, driving a
pair of billy goats to a wagon of home
architecture, on which rested a barrel
of water. A conversation ensued, and
the stranger ascertainad that the lad
hauled the fluid from river hard by
his home TO the paternal cabin for use
on washdays. He was further isn-
lightened that the pay was sometimes
as good as fifteen cents a day.
"Would you sell your goats, bub'
asked the traveller.
"I guess 1 would, mister, if some
body would give me 81 for EN- re-

Hold on, there shouted a native
who had just come up in time to hear
the conversation. Don't take So for

there must be no curiosity about her
husbands Intercourse with others. /
need not say that there must not be
the least suspicion of jealousy. l feel
very strongly that the first care of the
wife of a bishop or clergyman must be
given to her own home. Children and
husband should come before any social
duties"
SIMPLE SOCIAL DUTIES.
Concerning the social duties of a
minister's wife she said: II think that
calls and tea parties may seem to be a
waste of time, but II is only by getting
on easy terms with ones neighbors
that we are able to speak words of
sympathy when they are needed. The
best thing a clergyman's wife can do
for her poorer neighbors is to visit
them, get to know them, and make
them feel she is their friend at the
same time, in all work done for wom-
en- and children at least she should
take leading part; her great object
should be to raise the tone of home
life and the moral standard in the
place. Those who know the country
know that few things are more heart
breaking than the low standard of
morality in country village"
On this subject Mrs. Creighton feels
most strongly, and with her immense
determination behind the crusade now
in progress it is believed that the move
ment just begun will not have the
same fate as the others.
The Bishop of London is a scholar
ly man of broad experience in church
work. He began at the bottom of the
ministerial ladder. The first ten years
of his married life was spent in strag-
Cling north country parish'e. where
there was nothing but continual
round of hard work. After leaving this
parish his rise in the church world was
gradual but steady. His elevation to
the bishopric of London is of COM
paratively recent date. but since then
he has made many innovations, not
the least of which is the war on what
many I.ondoners have come to regard
as a necessary evil.
