UGGEsTINg that preachers
~ SONS. like +. r. Hartman and
John ID. Archbold, owed their
millions to thrift inherited
from mothers forced to make
- both ends meet on microscope
salaries, the wife OF Rev. John S. Allen OF
Collegiate church, New York, told the Pres
byterian preachers Of that city, at one Of
their weekly conferences. something OF the
lie Of a pastors helpmate. In part she
said:
In passing let US give credit TO the pas
toress' as an expert in economies We
wonder how it is that so many preachers
sons, like Hartman and Archbold, become
millionaires and captains of industry. Is
It not because Of the inbred gift Of careful
management inherited from mothers who
know how to accomplish the seemingly
impossible by stretching small incomes to
cover large outlays?
Il have often thought when attending
the installation of pastor that 1 should
like to be permitted to make brief charge
to the people to what not to expect Of
the 'pastoress. I shall never forget the
wave Of responsibility that crept over me
when young 'pastoress, only a little
past 90 on my way out of church after the
installation Of my particular pastor, one
OF the good women Of the church, a large
and ponde-ous person, said
I'VE are glad to have a minister's wife
again, and we hope you will take your
place among us In all the various societies.
Our last pastor was most unfortunate in
his wife; she devoted herself entirely to
him and did no church work whatever
Then, looking me over, she added, You are
very young Before her accusing gaze
began to feel it a crime to be young. How
ever, 1 was naturally young and mis-
chevious, and I replied: And does the
church pay a salary to the preachers wife?
1T seems rather hard that no matter
how charming or capable the preacher
wife may be, she cannot help the pastor Ia
obtain place, but she may easily facilitate
his losing one.
"If the pastoress is to be happy she
must not believe all she hears among the
people and not accept it even when she
knows It to be true. To keep happy in heI
heart and her home the pastoress must
persistently look for good qualities in the
parish and overlook the unlovely. The first
duty of the 'pastoress' is TO the pastor, tc
make the home a place of real rest and
refreshment for all whose lives center
therein. And how is this to be done in the
midst OF complex and complicated civilza
tion as that Of the day? Simply by the
'pastoress refusing to become complex oi
complicated and 10 be drawn into outside
activities"

Her Hatchet Her Fortune.

Two hundred thousand dollars has been
earned by the noted woman saloon smasher,
Carrie A. Nation, since her sensational ap-
pearance in the public eye. If the state
ment of one OF the confidential agents Is
TO be taken as the truth This is the
amount which Mrs. Nation is said to have
made as lecturer and author, in many
instances her income reaching several
thousand dollars a week. In nearly every
case, she has given a percentage of the
receipts in those cities where she appeared
during the earlier portion OF her career
During this period the crowds which flocked
to see her could not be accommodated.
In spite OF this income, It is said by one
near TO Mrs. Nation that it has all beer
spent as fast as 1t was earned-in the sup
port of family relatives.

What the Women Are Doing

know anything about their husbands af-
fairs or to object TO their liaisons or any
thing that they may choose to do. They
may dispose OF their wives patrimony
TO suit themselves and they may not even
inquire as to its disposition.
Americans know all these things, and
stin they yield to the Establishments and
flattery spoken in a foreign tongue and
lose sight Of the lack of sincerity Of the
speaker. They are blinded by glowing
descriptions OF castles and extensive es-
tates, the titled gentry usually neglecting
to mention that castles and estates have
been long uncared for, as it was discovered
in at least one case when a lovely Ameri-
can girl contracted an illness. the final ef.

Kansas Woman Probate Judge.

Governor Hoch of Kansas has settled the
Mitchell county probate judge fight by ap-
pointing Mrs. Levi Cooper to the job.
Mrs. Cooper Is the widow of the late
probate Judge, who died about week ago
During her husbands life she was deputy
probate Judge and thoroughly understands
the work of the office. When Mr.. Cooper
died. p. g. Chubbic and Cyrus CASTOR ap-
Piled for the place, and each one agreed to
leave Mrs. Cooper in as judge pro tenn.
Il got to thinking the matter over" said
Governor Hoch, ''and decided that If Mrs.
Cooper was SO valuable in the office there
was no reason why she should not be ap-
pointed herself. So l have just decided tc
appoint her and settle the contest that
way. So far as know Mrs. Cooper is the
first and only woman probate Judge in
the state"

Women in the PuInit.

More women would occupy church pulpits
IL the theories of an Illinois girl were
more generally possessed by the fair sex
Miss Myrtle Parke OF staunton, Ill. north
east Of st. Louis. believes that femininity
can be employed successfully in the pulpit
as well as in general church work.
She is a living demonstration of her be-
lief, having preached for five years.
She will be ordained in st. Louis this
month as a minister in the Christian de-
nomination. She has already accepted a
pastorate.
In deciding on her life calling she crossed
the wishes OF her parents, according to
other members OF the family. She is a
daughter of W. A. Parke. a large land
owner Of Macoupin county, who lives two
miles north OF Staunton, and for whom
Parkeville, a suburb of that city, was
named.
Myrtle delivered her first sermon in the
church at Barnett, ILL.,, five years ago,
when she was II years old. Since then she
has preached at many neighboring towns.
For the last two years she has been the
pastor of the Christian church at Worden.
She was % years old on the 29th ult., and
the anniversary was made happy by the
Worden church extending her a formal call
to occupy its pulpit for another year.

protection from the occasional rain
falls of the summer season.
From the end of the grade Mr..
Smith, Mr.. Rowland, Mr.. Turnbull,
Mr.. Reeves and Mr.. Talbot climbed
to the top of the mountains, going up
a steep gulch until they came out on
the summit of Fremont's Peak. The
scenery on the way up was magnifi-
cent and Mr.. Marr thinks that a
trail can be constructed which would
enable horsemen to make the trip
from Canon City to the top of the Roy
al Gorge within a distance of five or
six miles instead of the twelve or thir-
teen, which is necessary to get there
at present. 1t is daring scheme, but
Mr. Marr believes it can be accom-
plished and that it will add still fur
ther to the fame of Canon City's seem
ic beauties A sort of reconnaissance
survey of the proposed road into the
Royal Gorge with its branch up the
slopes of Fremont's Peak will be
made in few days by Messrs. Mari,
Turnbull, Rowland, Smith, Warden
Cleghorn, d. E. Gibson, George F.
Rockafellow and others in few days.
If they find the subsidiary road fea-
sible proposition its construction will
probably be undertaken.

SOUTH CANON BOYS WON
EASILY FROM FLORENCE

The basketball game at the Y. NJ. C.
A. gymnasium Saturday night between
the South Canon and Florence high
school teams was an easy victory for
the home organization. the final score
being South Canon 45, Florence 6.
Despite the inequalities of skill dis
played by the contestants II was an
interesting game and aroused great
enthusiasm on the part of the specta-
tors. The team work of the South
Canon organization was swift and ac-
curate, indicating painstaking prac-
tice. There appears to be some good
material in the Florence team. but 1t
is helpless on account OF insufficient
training.

ing of ground. the laying of the cor
ner stone, the completion and dedica-
tion of the new building on the corner
of Seventh street and Harrison ave-
nue. The total cost of the structure
with its equipment as 1t stands to-
day was $13,501.37. Add to this the
costs of the lots and incidental ex-
penses of the previous year and the
complete cost of the property Is
$15,562.47.
During the year just closed &c.
1880 has been paid into the church
treasury in addition to $1.150.00 from
the sale OF old property and $1,362.4O
on hand at the beginning OF the year.
Perhaps $4,000 has been raised by
the auxiliary organizations Of the
church not passing through the gener-
al treasury. Owing to the fact that
none Of the congregation is wealthy
and many are ranchers who have lost
two apple crops in succession, this
financial statement Is certainly re-
markable. The church has debt Of
Sc, 100000, most OF which Is carried by
the board of church extension Of the
American Christian Missionary socie-
ty. This entire debt has been pro-
vided for by pledges payable in one,
two and three years.
The, pastor. Rev, J. B. Hunley, has
been ministering to this congregation
for the past two years and four
months and the success of this peo-
pie under his pastorship must be to
him source qualification. His deep
spirituality and devotion to the work
has had benefcent influence on ali
with whom he has come in contact
In his work he has had an able Co
worker In Mrs. Hunley whose sweet
songs and social graces have won FOL
her the admiration OF all. AS q re-
suit OF these things the Christian
church OF Canon City faces the future
with confidence and serenity.
