MODEL WIFE HEAD OF HOUSE.
Pastor Lees Original Thoughts on Mans
Helpmeet.


In the Kaighn Avenue M. e. Church,
Camden, N. j., large congregation
enjoyed Rev. j. William Lees sermon
entitled "a Model Wife," Among the
many original thoughts Of the min
lister were:
"A model wife acknowledges her hus-
bands authority in general affairs, but
she realizes she must be the head OF
the house. do not mean boss. A
political boss is despicable, an eccle-
siastical boss contemplate, but from a
boss in petticoats, good Lord. deliver
us. =
"If some wives would put the same
energy in their homework as they do
in gossip and gadding, many saloons
would be vacant.
"Better thousand times die bach

bearing-jawed wife.

A Novelty ia Railroad Education.

The novel project of running pa
Iatial special train from Chicago to
New Orleans and return, distance of
nearly 20, 900 miles, for the sole bene
fit of competitors was successfully car
ried out by the officials of the Illinois
Central Railroad last week. Nearly
100 general passenger agents and
members Of their families were tie
guests of the Illinois Central during
the trip, everything, including musi-
cal entertainments in the observation
car, being provided by the company.
Had anyone undertaken to purchase
the service and entertainment provid-
ed the cost could not have been far
from 81, 900. The train was, SO to
speak, an edition de luxe, the Pullman
Company certifying that the new cars
furnished were the finest ever mana
featured by them, and the engineers
and train crew were the most expert
in the employ of the railroad company.
The novelty of the affair consists
largely in the fact that few years ago
railroad companies strove to keep
from competitors accurate knowl-
edge of conditions along their lines
of railroad. Excluding the COM
plimentary feature, the main purpose
of the Illinois Central expedition was
to educate competing lines regarding
the unexcelled transportation facilities
possessed by that company, and the
possibilities which lie in the develop
ment of the south. Although progress
sive men, the general passenger
agents who were on the trip were
amazed to learn that the Illinois Gen.
trail now practically has q double track
system all the way between Chicago
and New Orleans and rock ballasted
roadbed with few grades and curves,
which is capable of accommodating an
enormous volume of traffic. They
were also surprised at the phenome-
nal commercial and industrial awaken
ing which the south is experiencing.
and they will spread the news regard
ing both facts for months to come.
In doing this they will be advertis-
ing the south most effectively and pro-
noting travel there from every quar-
ter of the country. Naturally the
Illinois Central will get the benefit OF
this, for; in short, 1t has recruited q
force Of 100 live advertising agents
from among the ranks of its active
competitors. Under railroad methods
in vogue prior to the era Of ''com-
mnnity Of interests" such an under
taking would have been hailed as sui
cidal.

WISDOM OF THE BEE.
Legent Of the Visit Of the Queen Of
Ghaho 80 Kfn~ C@f@->.

Legent Of the Visit Of the Queen Of
Sheba to King Solomon.
Here is the legend Of the visit of
the Queen of Sheba 40 King Solo,
mon," said the Pascagoula Diogenes
In the Rotunda of the Great Southern
hotel, Gulport, Sunday. 1.-THE queen
reigned over a people that lived on
the border of the Red Sea, who were
the richest in Arabia. They were rep
resented leading an idle life, owing to
the abundance of natural produce of
their country, which afforded the sus-
tenance of life and also frankincense,
myrrh, cinnamon and balsam that
gave them an extensive commerce
with other nations.
The queen, owing to the splendid
reputation af King Solomon, whose
power and wisdom had spread to the
remotest parts Of the world, visited
him at his own court. Presenting her
self at the foot Of his throne, in each
OF her hands she held a wreath OF
f1oWers-one composed of natural
the other of artificial. Art, in the
labor OF the mimic wreath, had ex
Qu1stely emulated the lively hues OF
nature; so that at the distance it was
held by the queen to exercise the sa
gac1ty Of the monarch for his judg
ment, it was deemed imp ossible fol
him to decide which wreath was the
production Of nature, and which the
work of art. Solomon was, for a mo
ment, perplexed; yet, to be vanquish
cd by woman irritated his pride.
An expedient presented itself tc
the king by swarm Of bees on the
outside Of a window, which he order
ed opened: the bees rushed in the
court and alighted on one Of the
wreaths. while not a single one fixed
on the other. Sheba was bafled anc
was convinced of the wisdom of Solo
mon. Such is the story handed down
that the bee only rests on the natural
beauties, and never fixes on the paint
ed flowers, however inimitable the
color may be laid on."-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

German Army Needs onicers,

The German Army is badly in need
of officers. This is due directly to the
increased cost Of living. Officers need
more clothes and more expensive
equipment than they did formerly, and
the number Of high priced banquets
where expensive wines are drunk has
increased greatly. This, combined with
the decline of agriculture has kept out
of the army many young men who
otherwise would have adopted that
profession. Moreover, officers are gen.
orally retired after twenty years ser.
vice, with the rank of colonel, and
the pension is so small that they find
it difficult to maintain their families
en- it.
