ON a certain October Sunday. The
treasurer. young man who had re-
Gently come to the village, had made
financial statement that morning,
upon which certain persons felt very
rnuch scandalized. Such a thing had
never been done before-not even
thought of; then it revealed the fact
that the Rev. Wesley Norwood had re-
ceived but $51.75 for six months of
faithful service.
~ don't believe in bringing up such
matters in the religious services of the
church" grow!ed Brother Cook, who
always protested that it was a waste
of money to pay the minister so much
salary.
81 quite agree with you," responded
Mr.. Barnes. He was not a member of
Tie church, but attended because it
was a respectable thing to do-gave
YOU standing. IF these things must
come up every Sunday l shall attend
church elsewhere"
Notwithstanding this, it was gener-
ally agreed that il was a shame, and
something must be done. But when
things had gone in a haphazard way
so long il was no easy matter to face
right about. After several weeks of
de,iberation, the necessary some thing
seemed as far from accomplishment

Mrs Hunter at the Ladies' Aid meet

''If no one else will do anything, we

members nodded approval.
III was soon Planned. The pastor
had received $51.75; they would pay
him S9s.25-make it even $15O-and
have enough left in the treasury for
Incidental matters. On Thursday
evening of next week, which was
Thanksgiving. they would invite them
selves to the parsonage and have c
good time while making the pastor
happy, 1t would be easy to prepare
something extra while getting ready
for Thanksgiving. 1t was to be a
grand secret; not a soul but members
of the society should know a word of
1T.
'May not tell John?" stammered
timid Mrs. Adde Day. She was but re-
Gently married and dislilIed to have
ever so little secret from her hus-
band. Scornful glances from the more
mature matrons warned her that she
was about to lose caste in the society,
and she quickly subsided.
At the close of the business meeting
OF the Young Peoples league, the
president made close scrutiny to as
sure himself that all present were
members; he then proposed that, as
'Athey would not do anything" the
league take up the matter.
81 understand that we have nearly
$50 in the treasury; We could pay the
pastor 50-bring the salary up to

agreed to the plan and pledged the
proper reticence in the matter.

Seventy>Fiys Trained Animals

Baltimore, Jan. &c. With

animals of all descriptions confined
in cages at Frank e. Bostock's
$780, which was in winter
quarters in.the old'cyclorama build
ing, in this city, were roasted or
burned to death tonight The fire
probably originated from a badly
insulated wire on the outside of
tho building. The flames spl cad
SO rapidly that 1t was impossible
for the attendants to rescue the
helpless animals and with tho ex-
csption of ono elephant, one cam
sl, two donkeys, and a pack of
hounds, the entire herd was lost.
The tire WAS discovered at lO:4O
p. M, few minutes after the
evening performance here ceased.
Twenty minutes after the fire was
discovered, the entire building,
which was constructed almost en-
tirely of wood, was mass of
flames.
Mr.. BostOck estimates his loss
on animals at about S4OO, 900.
Loss on the building probably is
