PULLED PATRONS LEG.
Gueh to the Horror OF the TaIkativs
shoe Salesman the Member
Came on.

John Diehl, of Gutenberg, N. J.,
has wooden leg, but the artificial
foot receives just as good treatment
as its mate. AS a matter of fact,
states the New York Tribune, Diehl
rather prefers the wooden leg TO
the other, for, as he says: II picked
out the wooden one myself and it's
peach"
Such an excellent member of so
eiety is Diehrs wooden leg that its
owner is able TO walk with scarcely
perceptible limp. Consequently,

Missouri river on the ice.
1t appeared the other morning in
the dooryard of the house where Miss
Hoover resides and fiercely attacked
a large shepherd dog. The animals
engaged in life and death struggle
and their snarling and swapping were
enough to affect the nerves of even a
man. Finally the dog succeeded in
getting somewhat the better of its an .
tagonist.
At this juncture Miss Hoover, in
stead Of fleeing to the attic or cellar
for safety, appeared on the scene. She
was armed with a Ratchet and, ap-
preaching close to where the dog and
wolf were battling for life, she raised
the Ratchet and dealt the wolf such
a blow that it was killed instantly.

Slaves In East Africa

The official Reichsanzeiger publish
es a degree designed 10 pave the way
for the abolition of slavery in German
East Africa The decree renders it
impossible for native to sell himself
or his relatives to sell him as a slave,
or for any fresh slaves to be made on
the basis of debts or other obligations
or as punishment. 1t enables all
slaves to terminate their slavery by
payment of a sum of money, TO be
fixed in each individual case by the
executive authorities. When this pay
ment has been made the liberated
slave will receive a certificate of free
dom. All slaves are to be allowed two
free days in the week in which to
work for themselves or to receive
equivalent compensation. The duties
of masters toward slaves, and espe-
ciaIly their obligation to care for them
in sickness and old age, are carefully
defined and the authorities are en-
powered in cases of breach Of these
duties to convert the slaves into free
men. The transference of the owner
ship of slaves is only with the con-
sent of the slaves and of the author
ities.-London Standard.

Livinqs in, the Church of England.

Out of the 1922 livings in the
church of England, 1,491, that is to
say more than 10 per cent, are of
less value than 800 year; nearly
one-half of the entire numbers per
cent. to be almost exact-are under
$500, and only 1,49 are worth more
than 940O 1t is a little surprising
to find that incomes in the northern
province are considerably better than
in the former, the average value is
G271, in the latter G234. The only
dioceses in which the average exceeds
$500 are London, Rochester, Liver
pool, Manchester, and Durham. The
poorest dioceses are the four in
Wales, Hereford and Sodor and Man.
In these the average clerical income
os below 92C0.
