IDEAL CITIZENSHIP.
REV OTIS W. BARKER IN CONNECTICUT
CITIZEN.

1 was recently told the following
story: Some years ago the sum of
$1,000 was offered to certain church
on several conditions. Some of the
conditions applied to thesminister. If
the church received the money, the
minister was to bind himself not to
vote, not to speak on public questions,
in short, not to be man. .Ho the
honor of this church be it said that
the generous offer was not accepted,
and the minister votes and speaks his
mind plainly on all matters to which
the Golden Rule applies.
It is high time that once for all 1--WE
laid aside the notion that theory is to
be divorced from life and the righteous
ness Of Sunday from the practice OF
Monday The ideal will be reached
when every man, no matter how hum
bly, his station, no matter how respect
able his calling, believes that he is In
this world for good just so far as he
can make his influence 60. Every man
is citizen, first of all, of the little
village or the large town where his
home may be, to make its politics
clean, it's roads good, its schools of high
grade, it's churches progressive and
strong; then citizen of his state to
keep :an eye on what the legislators
at the capital are doing; then citi-
zen of his country to make it select
among the nations of the earth for
leadership in things that are honest
and of good report, and, finally, citj(
zen of the whole earth to make it ohe
fitting footstool of the King. Inc
citizenship that goes no further thah
ones front dooryard is no citizenship
at all. We have put too much sCress
upon being not of the world; now le'|
us turn around and bear down stro@
on being in the world to make '"o
world better.
The ideal citizenship is that u 'iie
man who faithfully stands at b poo.'

EXAMINATION ANSWERS.
Some Amusing Ones Given BY Civil
Service Applicants.

A candidate for the position Of
keeper in a menagerie, says the New
York Post, was asked the other day,
when undergoing the civil service ex-
animation: "If the prize licr srrrss;rree1d
his ankle, what would you do to give
him relief?"
"Pd get some linimentP was the
answer, "and put my hand in between
the iron bars and put the liniment
gently on the lions ankle" 81 sup
pose you know" was added in paren-
thesis, "that I've got wooden arm"
Another applicant, aiming at ap-
pointmentas police matron, was asked
what were her special qualifications
for the place. Owe been a widow off
and on for 20 years." she answered.
The examiners of the local civil
service commission tell of many
amusing errors. Defining the word
horizontally" one applicant wrote:
at means going or turning in a
crooked way" "Infectious," another
asserted, "means a disease very much
in the person, so as TO hsveimmediate
attention and quietness, with no fear
of contagiOn."
A shorthand writer was asked to
take down the following from dicta-
tion and transcribed il: "In this coun-
try we have not yet formed the habit
of looking at the civil service as offer
ing a career; we are only emerging
from looking oD it as political func-
ton" AS the candidate wrote il out,
it read: "In this country we have not
yet formed the habit Of looking
on the civil service as from
a mirror. We are only emerging from
the habit of looking on civil service as
a political fiction"

NOVELIST FORD MURDERED.
Slain by Hand of Brother, Who Then
Takes His Own Life,


Takes His Own Life.
New York, May 9.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and killed
yesterday by his brother, Malcolm
Webster Ford, writer and athlete, who
Immediately sent bullet into his own
breast dying instantly. The shooting
occurred at 1920 a. m. in the hand
some new mansion which Paul Leices
ter Ford had built at 81 East Seventy
seventh street and had occupied fol-
about year
1t is said that there was enmity
between the two brothers and conse
quent bitterness, and that it was of Il
years standing; that never since the
death Of their. father have they beer
on intimate or brotherly terms. This
alleged enmity on the part Of Malcolm
is said to have been brought about by
the fact that the father of the boys
disinherited Malcolm, and that this &C
ton on the fathers part was because
he did not wish Malcolm to devote him
self to an athletic career.
The killing occurred in Paul Leices
ter Lords library in the presnce OF
Miss Hall, the novelists secretary.
Owing to the prominence of the par
ties the affair created great excite
ment.
