WAS WILLING TO BE HIS'N.
but she was extremely homely, and
the pastor hadn't been investigating
long before he thought he had located
the fountainhead. In another week he
was sure Of 1t.
The old maid was not a church mem
Der, but the pastor called on her just
that the gossip and the scandalizer
would have hard work to squeeze into
the better land when the time came.
Sarah agreed with him and two days
later cooked up another canard.
She was in command Of the situation
up to a certain point. She was well to
do, and she had wealthy relatives to
stand by her. The minister saw that
he must 60 slow and bide his time.
There are clergymen who study the
subject of religion alone. There are
others who study human nature as
well. The Rev. Bates was one Of the
latter.
IAN old maid" he reasoned. 'is a
young woman who has been overlook
ed in the scramble or got left in the
shuttle. This fact has sOured her tenn
Der and made her enviOuS and jealous.
The only way she can get even Is to
use her tongue She is down on all her
sex and on the married men OF the
other. The tongue OF one old maid
can stir up more mischief than i've
ministers can smooth over"
When the pastor had reasoned that
far he took rest for few minutes
and then continued:
What is the remedy for tattling.
gossiping, slandering old maid? Re
move the cause and the disease is
cured. In other words. if she can be
married off the spirit Of spite will be
laid and she will have no reason to
interfere with the peace Of mind OF
others"
The line of reasoning was up to date.
and the philosophy weighed full six
teen ounces to the pound. One may
reason a thing to logical conclusion,
however. and yet find that only one
difficulty has been removed. The Kew.
Bates was pitted against Sarah Lee,
If was Lee versus Bates. He realized
that he would have to go at the end OF
y year or Sarah Lee would have to be
provided with husband. Not only
WAS the instinct Of self preservation
appealed to. but If the question had
been submitted to any lay mind the
answer would have been that one min
lister was worth ten times as much to
any community as an old maid. The
Rev. Bates did not turn conspirator. 1t
takes two to conspire. and he did not
take any one into his counsel.
His very first move almost bro lSht
about his downfall. He made sec

An AnamaIous Condition.

From the Pittsburg Post.
Secretary Taft has told the people OF
Porto Rico. who urged that he use his
influence TO procure for them the full
privileges Of American citizenship that
they should not make themselves unhappy
over the denial Of these privileges. He
said they enjoyed now what was denied
the people of the Philippines and Of Cuba.
free access to the markets of the United
States, and that in this they were for
tunate. There were. he said, difficulties
In the way of granting them citizenship.
No doubt this Is true. At the same time
the anomalous condition exists that Porto
Ricans can acquire citizenship by a resi-
denee of five years in the United States.
while the privilege is denied them If they
remain in their native island, although the
American flag floats over it,
