Why is it that in the appointments now
so many charges are put down "to be
supplied?" Why are fewer young men
entering the ministry?
This is not true alone of the Metho-
dist church. 1t is true of all the churches.
The fields are white unto the harvest.
but there is q call for 1aborers. Why
do SO few young men answer the call?
Bishop Coke Smith, referring to the few
who were entering the ministry, asked il
it was because Of the commcrcialism of
this day. 1t is a question that gives
cause for pause and serious concern. The
pecuniary rewards in. trade, in manufac-

Powell, who is now develop. ing group of copper mines in the Jerome country for the Black Rock Gold and Copper Mining Company, seems 10 have struck rich deposit of copper, running over 32 per cent. Mir. Powell is enthusiastic over the results of development so far and Is convinced that there is as much ore of a richer quality .ban in Senator Clark's wonder. The ore sent in by Mir.

The hero of the story was the first of the newspa- per correspondents to cable to America the news of the death of General Law. ton at the hands of the insurgents. By an almost superhuman effort the boy correspondent, who was with the army at the time of the shooting, made his way through the enemy's country to the cable office and flashed the news to America three hours before any other

Dr.. John A. kins in Trouble.

At Prescott, Tuesday, warrant for the arrest of Dr.. John A. King was sworn to by Ralph Smith, Cashier of the Jerome Branch Of Bank Of Ariz- ona. The ground upon which the war rant was issued was that Dr.. King had overdrawn his account to the amount of $l750 and was permitted to do so, the bank claims, because of the misrepre. tations made by him.
 In defense Dr. King claims that he told the exact truth in his transaction with the bank.
 Dr. King was arrested and placed in charge of deputy sheriff; hearing will be held on Saturday.
 Particulars of the unfortunate occur ence are not obtainable at this time, but it is supposed that the trouble is the outgrOwth of the failure Of New York persons, who were to finance the Grand Prize mining enterprise. to keep faith with him.
 The New Workers are responsible men with ample capital, and had agreed to meet the expense incurred by Dr. King in work on the Grand Prize. Failure to realize on these promises caused the collapse of the Grand Prize deal, and left workingmen, merchants, and others worki ing for the company to hold the bag.
 In his dealings here Dr.. King has been uniformaly square, and we sincerely hope the trouble may be adjusted. d.-Jerome Reporter.

SOCIETY WOMEN HOUSEWIVES
1sabsss of the Smart sst Taking Active Interest In Domestic
 AGaiRN

In her paper on "New Wrinkles for Up-to-Date Housewives" in Woman's Home Companion, Lind, Hull Larned discusses some of the pr oblems of the modern woman. She has the following to say about society women in the home:
 The women of the world-the fash ionable women, the women of the smart set, and even the club women who are often delightful mixture of all these, are taking scientific but practical and active interest in their children and their households. While 1t is still most tiresome and not good form to talk about the virtues of our children and the faults of our servants, it is not bad form to be deeply con cerned over every economic question bearing upon the interests of our household.
 Economies in this sense does not mean parsimony. It is the youngish woman who is doing it, and it fills some of us oldish ones with delight to hear parsonage" boast that she not only knows how to be perfect housewife, but glories in 1t. For instance, a wom- an almost on the top notch of c.ubdom declares that she can make better bread, cookies and "sich" than any other woman in the General Fedora tion--and l believe there are million in it-and yet this particular she is one of the most intelligent and grace ful and accomplished women who ever graced platform. It is surely an encouraging sign of the times 10 hear parsonage" advocate the cause of home economies. Here is conundrum which shows again which way the wind is blowing: When does woman wei come age?" When she ceases to be . person and becomes parsonage.

TNIlE day was when men of promi-
nence hesitated to give their testi-
nonials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true to-day
of most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become SO justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hest
tates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna Strong endorsement,
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignifed representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. L. G. Smith. pastor of the Presby
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga. writes:
Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rem
edies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
malady consider it well nigh specific.

At the opening of the conference the

sell farms belonging to burghers. Re-
garding some farms sold in the Or

by the government would be re-trans-
ferred to their former owners.
General Botha appealed for the Wild

Replying to this, Mr.. Chamberlain
compared Great Britain's treatment Of
the Beers with the treatment of the
South by the North after the Civil
War in America.

Mr.. Chamberlain, that we have un-
dertaken more under similar cifcum-
stances. We have done more than
think was expected. and we have done
all that we can afford to do, and l
think it would be undesirable for the
generals to press us further in this
matter. either now or in writing"
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded with say
ing that the government would be
glad of the cooperation of men like
the generals. who had Loyalty accept
ed the new situation. AS they wanted
South Africa to be a happy abiding
place for all, he felt sure that If the
burShers met the British half way
they would find them quite as good
friends in the future as they had been
loyal enemies in the past.
