RUTH HAS HER OWN

Evangelist Describes How the Bib
hcal Heroine is Torn by Two
Husbands Claims

Any one interested to know how
the Biblical folk, who do the proper
thing here below, are getting on in
the Great Beyond, may obtain this
information in its minutest details
on application to Mrs. Mary Jane Al
exandre, The Many Mansions Evan
gelist," No. 1868 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn, says the New York World.
Mrs. Alexandra is apparently not
only on the most intimate terms.
with the dignitaries above, but has
the graphic mind of society re-
porter in recording their doings. A
little old lady, very neat as to dress.
With bright eye and smiling visage.
she IS apt to arrive at your door am
day this week. Her account of Ruth
is IN part as follows:
Ruth is one OF the prettiest wo-I
men in Heaven. She has kind black
eyes, fair complexion. rosy checks.
heavy light curly hair, and tall.
slender figure. She lives with Boaz
in Heaven, his house is very grand:
not a spot of it but what is solid
gold, and it IS decked with highly
scented vines, and gorgeous flowers.
The Lord has a bulletin board in
every house in Heaven; for the head
OF the house and all the household
Ruth never goes out without be-
ing heavily yelled, for fear OF meeting
her first husband, when they do meer
ne always wants her to live with
him. The Lord has given him a
lovely home, and he would like Ruth
to live with him and his mother
But Ruth wants to live with Roaz
and when she gets very much troub-
led on the subject she goes to the
Lord, and he tells her to stav with
Boaz, and Ruth goes home happy
"Naom's home in Heaven is not
as palatial as the one Boaz owns but
extremely pleasant looking abode. No
one IS allowed to stay longer than if
teen minutes. When the time is I'D
Naomi goes up to them and entreats
them rot to stay over the time. and
they always say "Entreat me not to
leave thee" and at the same time
back for the door"

State Commerce. Clifford Pinchot.
widely known as chief OF the Federal
Bureau Of Forestry, receives $500 a
year. c. Hart Merriam, with an in
ternational reputation, draws $2z5o
as the Government biologist. The OBJ
scure Grannis receives $4,000 from
the Mutual as its Vice President.
The Church pays its leading men
no better than the State. A country
clergyman may still work on starva-
ton pay for the uplifting of his peo-
pie. A recent Congregational year
book gave no instance of preacher 5
salary above 5000, though there are
said to be three such cases in the de-
nomination. An Episcopalian bishop
pay receive from $1,000 to $I2,5ooo.
Famous city parishes III relatively
few cases pay clergymen as high as
$4,000 a year. The demands Of char
ity upon such a clergyman are, hoW-
ever, very heavy. The $4,000 q year
paid to the Archbishop OF Al! Eng

such demands and for the needs OF

Williams is cool, logical and satiri-
cal. making his appeal mostly to the
intellect. But tho working through
different methods, they produce the
same result of moving men to ac-
tivity.
Another common characteristic
which these two men, differing 50
widely in temperament and style. pos
sess is the staying quality. the abil-
ity of seeing a thing through, the
patience to stand by thing to the
last, if they think it right. { They
do not adjust their views to the ffu.-
tuations of the popular pulse; when
once they have decided on the mer..
its OF a question, in the good old
fashioned Democratic way, they pre-
sent their views to the people with
indomitable insistance and pefsever-
ance. Perhaps the foundation 1act Of
their great power and immense per-
sonal popularity is the fact OF sin

and Maryland will be richer for their

IN THE COMING
ELECT IN

The selection OF three new coun-
cilmen for Greenville in the coming
election is matter that every citi-
zen should give much thought be-
tween now and the day of election
+ hat the best men for the places will
be elected
The scale for determining mans
fitness should not be whether he
will vote for or against a certain
man. for the office of marshal, city
engineer or IRE chief, or anv other
office as far as that is concerned;
whether he favo.s the COW ordinance
ar opposes it, rk- paving OF one
street and not another. These are
questions for the entire body to
weigh and decide. But he should be
man of character. honest and of
such business ability that questions
of every character the voter is will
ing to leave, after his election, to his
own wise and honest judgment.
They should be men who will stand
by our Mayor and his police force
in the enforcement of the law, the
breaking up of all dens of vice, the
protection of our homes and the
saving OF our boys.
Again. such men do not necessarily
have to come from among the wealth
lest citizens. the counting houses, or
the stores, for just as good men as
were ever found to fill positions of
responsibility and trust have come
from the factory, the farm, or from
among the statesmen and employees
of city.
Retrenchment is the battle cry all
along the line. The salary list of the
city officials runs too high; taxes are
too high and should be reduced, and
he waterworks and every other de-
rtment of the city should be run
business like manner.

dinate officers after war breaks out, any more than
battle-ships can then suddenly be conJured mo
existence PREPAREDNESS for war means prepared
ness in men more than it does preparedness IN
shiDs: for good men in weak ships are better thah
weak men in good ships To be certain that
man shall become to the highest degree skilled ana
acquainted with the duties imposed on the captain
the director, of the most complex machlne inc
b,,r,a,, mind has ever evolved-the modern battle
ship-he must have time, time Tor experience ana
education in that particular work; and the same
IS equally true of the admiral who controls the
1naneuvers of many such machines.
But the naval officers official life ends, as has
been said at sixtv-twO years of age. II, then, ne
IS kent as a captain until he is hfty-nlne or sixty,
# IS clearly impossible for him to become skilled
in the duties of both squadron and fleet admiral IN
the period of active service left to him. cruise
or tour of sea duty lasts two years tor IN order TO
insure education of all, turns must be taken Men
cannot be kept at sea constantly, nor has any navy
enough ships to provide ali its captains with COM
mands at the same time even II 1t was desirable
to do So Not only in such conditions IS It now
impossible to give to any admiral before he reaches
the age of sixty-two the opportunity to make a
cruise in SQUADRON command and then another in
fleet command, but it is difficult to insure him
even the first With the exception of Rear Admiral
Evans now afoat we have at the present moment
only two admras who have completed a cruise,
and both will be retired for age before their second
turn comes around.
SO also as to captains: unless the individual can
reach that grade sufficiently early IN hte he GER
tanly cannot acquire the necessary sea experience
as a captain before the time for his promotion by
seniority to rear-admiral arrives. In brief, 1t IS
now generally conceded that the proper age for
attaining minor command is not over forty; major
