COMPENSATION FOR PASTORS
WIFE.

Monroe Star: A church i'll Cincinnati
proposes to pay salary to the pastor
wife, and we hope the idea will spread
throughout the country. We agree with
the Spartanburg Journal that the wife
of pastor is as devoted, as useful and
as active as the pastor himself. > She
looks after many of the material inter-
ests of the congregation, visits the sick,
makes herself generally useful and
ought to be paid something for her
services. This arrangement might be
effected by taking out of the pastor
salary a fair allowance for the pastors
wife.

WEATHER BULLETIN
FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
DROUTH WILL THREATEN
Calculations Indicate that Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska Will
Experience Damage-May Extend to
Western Texas-High Temperatures.

Copyrighted 1907 by W, I. Foster. }
Washington, June 1. IGo7.-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent ) to 7, warm wave
2 to 6, cool wave to 9. Next disturb
ance will reach Pacific coast about g.
cross west of Rockies country by close
of 9, great central valleys 10 to IL, east
ern states - Warm wave will cross
west of the Rockies about 8, great cen
trail valleys 10, eastern states IL. Cool
wave will cross west of the Rockies
about IL. great central valleys 10, east
ern states IS.
This will be one of the most severe
disturbances of the month. Tempera-
lures from the Missouri river south
ward will average very high during the
week covered by this storm wave and
drouth will threaten in that section. Ex-
IRENE heat and drouth will come later
and the effects of this disturbance will
partially indicate where the later ex
treme heat and drouth will locate.
My calculations indicate that Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska
will be damaged by the drouth of the
last half of June to greater extent
than any 'other section, but the drouth,
with less serious results. will extend
into western Texas, northern Indiana,
northern Ohio and western Pennsyl
ania. This will probably do some in
jury to all crops with least injury to
wheat
But the shortage of rainfall in June
will not be serious matter if abundant
rains come in July. There is the rub.
How much would it profit the people OF
this continent to know whether July
will bring copious rains or a serious
droutn? Ask the United States Wealth
er Bureau and if they will not tell you,
watch these weather bulletins.
About June / temperatures will range
a little high ON meridian 90 and this con-
dition will slowly drift eastward. Com
ing in behind that condition a little later
will come spell of colder weather that
will also drift slowly eastward. Then,
soon after June 9, will come much
warmer weather and severe storms.
The great drouth came in 1901 and no
period of eight years ever passes with
out serious injury to crops The prob
lem is: How can farmers and planters
manage to hold their crops for Best
prices? Heretofore the middle men
have reaped more than fair share of
the profits Reliable long range wealth
er forecasts will solve the problem. !.
The Minneapolis Mimi Progress,

theories with regard to the cause of

more about the weather. week or a

BEREAvEMENTs.

Friends, deeply sorrowful, gathered
at St Marks church Sunday morning,
May CO. to pay the last tribute of love
and respect to her who was their friend,
Miss Lima Jacobs, formerly of this city.
After living the greater part of her
life in Shreveport, Miss Jacobs removed
several years ago to Missouri, and from
there went to New Orleans, when she
was overtaken by fatal illness.
The announcement of her death was
a great shock and sorrow to her friends
here, who knew nothing of her illness.
Miss Jacobs was a woman of strong
character, with loyable and we'll defined
characteristics. She was loyal friend
and devoted in all the relations of life.
Interment took place at Oakland GEM

brothers, Thornton and Thomas Jacobs

kina David and King Arthur.

The history of King David, as related
In the Second Book Of Samuel, Is full
of parallels to Arthur David's renown
begins with his fight against the Giant
Goliath, who is the prototype of all
giants in the romances Of the middle
ages. They belong always to the army
Of heather, provoke the faithful
knights, and are conquered by them.
Important in this connection Is the
number Of the Knights Of the Round
Table. They are the famous forty-two
to whom Arthur resorts on occasion OF
danger, and each Of whom has spe-
cial accomplishment in welding spear
or handling the sword. Now the
explanation of this number Is to be
found in the Bible. II you glance at
chapter xxii in the Second Book Of
Samuel. and again at chapter vi In the
First Book Of Chronicles, you will find
list of the mighty men Of David,
and their number varies between forty
and forty-five.
Again. in the history Of Arthur, we
find two further episodes resembling
two episodes in the life Of David. The
one is the provocation Of Lucius IT,
berius-a fictitious name-his naughty
demeanor, his was against Arthur, and
his defeat, which seems to be only an
adaptation IL English form Of the war
between David and Hanun, the king Of
the Ammonites, who haughtily had
provoked David. treating disrespectful-
ly his messengers. The other episode
treats Of the rebellion Of Mordred, the
nephew Of Arthur, against his uncle,
and is a copy Of the rebellion Of Absa-
lom against his father. David. Both
rebels were afterward routed in battle.
Jewish legend speaks Of a miraculous
sword, belonging not to David. but to
his chief captain, Joab, akin to the
Calibur of Arthur; likewise mys-
terious hand grasps the keys Of the
temple after its destruction, like the
mysterious hand which took back that
sword Of Calibur.-Jewish Chronicle.

to direct your attention to the impor-
tance Of your relations to the public,
and that we shall have your loyal sup
port in carrying out what Is the policy
of the company-the building up Of a
thoroughly efficient transportation sys-
tenn on the solid basis of harmonious
relations with the people along its
lines.
There Is another point to which l
desire to call your especial attention:
The management Of the Southern
railway has been confded to us as a
high and sacred trust. This trust is
not confined to the president, the gen.
eral officers or the board of directors.
It applies with equal obligation, In his
sphere of action, to the humblest en-
ployee as 1t does to the highest. Each
has his duty to perform and, in the
performance Of that duty, he repre-
sents the railway and is engaged in the
performance Of a trust in respect to
1t. The brakeman cannot perform the
presidents duty, nor can the president
perform the brakeman's. Each must
do faithfully his own duty, and only
in the honest and faithful perform
ance of duty by all can there come a
proper measure Of success.
The railway and the public are en-
titled to the very best that is In our
employees. from the highest to the low
est they are both entitled to de-
mand that there shall be no lukewarm
or limited service, but that the heart
of our employees shall in their work.
All of us have voluntarily undertaken
q duty In respect to this property and
the railway and the public should re-
ceive from each Of US full and faithful
performance.
I wish to build up among all our
employees spirit Of interest and CO.
operation-a spirit In which each man
will recognize that he Is identified
with the railway and will earnestly
and honestly work for its welfare.
Only in this way can we successfully
administer the trust which has been
confided to US.

MrsKRATs.-One dealer on Dock
street sells about 5000 muskrats a
week. These are purchased principal
ly by negroes, who are very fond OF
the dish. though 1t is whispered that In
season at some Of the restaurants
muskrat often masquerades as rabbit.
It is somewhat similar to the latter In
taste. but sweeter, and those who have
eaten 1t pronounce it all right. For
this market the rats come already
skinned and when possible, frozen.
They are found everywhere in this VI
cinity, but chief source OF supply Is
Salem. n. j.. where the catching OF
them is something Of an industry.
Whenever they are found they are fro
zen and kept until the supply on hand
Is sufficient for shipment and then
despatched to this city. They are eat
en- in many small places by people who
catch them. but are not sold at retail
except in the larger cities.-Philadel-

Bank Robbers Again.
Jeffersonian

Jeffersonian
Soon after midnight Monday night
excitement at Corder was at fever
heat for a short time. The arrival of
two men on horse back at that hour
caused the night operator at the CEN
trail Office to become suspicious and he
called up the officials of the bank and
told them that another bank robbery
was about to be attempted. Others
were called up and in a few minutes
there were a dozen men with guns In
the neighborhood of the bank, moving
about cautiously.
The strange men must have become
suspicious, for when the bank robber
hunters got read" to "take" the men
they could not be found.
1t has been s%uspicioned for some
time that desperadoes were secreted
in an old vacated farm house near
Corder. 1t will be remembered that a
few weeks ago an attempt was made
to rob the Corder bank. Watchers on
the inside Of the bank shot at the rob
bers several times as they we're en-
tering the bank and they escaped.
