The story of their domestic troubles is
interesting.
John had to build the fires, like all
obedient husbands should do. Generals
ly the stove in the kitchen worked to
a FRAGILE" but last Monday morning
something went wrong and to save
his Life John could not prevent the
smoke from coming out of every seam
and crack in the stove. The smoke
soon reached Hilda's room and dis
turbed her quiet sleep. She stood it
as long as she could and arose and
made for John, so he claimed to Justice
McBirnie. John lodged as long as he
could and finally ducked from the
house. Hilda, so says John, first pick
ed up kitchen chair, and attempted
to make klndllng wood out OF 1t over
Johr's head. This failing she took the
carving knife from the kitchen cup
board and told her spouse that she
would carve his heart out. John OBJ
jeeted to this and plainly told his wife
so. She however, remained obdurate
and made for the disobedient hubby.
The last attempt failed and she gave
up, or rather her husband gave her UP
and left. Mrs. Larsen's daughter, who
is a. step-d daughter to John, left the
home at the same time and is in town
with. her step-father Mr.. Larsen
valued his life too highly to allow his
spouse to wander around with carv-

The Country Ministers Salary.
barre Times

Scraping, scrimping and denying,
the average country minister in Yer
mont is able to keep along and main
tain himself and family, although it
is a struggle, on salary that is too
small. Oftentimes the minister is
compelled to perform work in adj
dition to his ministry to gain live
lihood for himself and those who are
dependent upon him. Some run
small farms and exc out fair COM
pensation, preaching on Sunday,
conducting prayer meeting or two
during the week, consoling the rela-
tives of the deceased after they have
helped to lay away the departed,
joining a nuptial knot or so and
doing the countless other things that
fall to a country minister's lot,
Others spend the greater part of
the week in teaching school. " a
few work out" Any way to supple
ment the salary which the church
paws them. That salary in many
cases is a beggarly sum.
According to the statement made
at the conference of Methodists now
in session at Enosburg Falls it
amounts to twelve dollars per week
in that denomination. The presid-
ing elder of the St. Johnsbury dis
trict says there is not minister in
his district who is supporting him
self and family by means of his sal
airy. Either the minister or their
wives have property from which
they derive an income, or else they
are compelled to 60 outside of their
regular occupation to get enough to
live upon. The variety of occupa-
tons to which the Methodists re-
sort, as enumerated by the presiding
elder, displays a wide latitude, rang
ing from mathematics to base ball
coaching, from experimenting of
schools to digging with a shovel,
from the practice of medicine Tin a
non professional way) to manuel
labor in a mill.
All of these are honorable occupa
tions, but it is ridiculous to make a
minister 60 outside of his own field
to get a living. What would the la
borer in a special branch of industry
think if he were compelled to do the
work in his own line and then do
work in another to sustain himself
and family? The fact is, that the
country minister is not getting liv-
ing wage here in Vermont, and it is
time that the people of the state
were awake to the situation.
