You're right" said Bell, after q
close inspection.
III, that's the case, then" said the
doctor, I'VE. must be. careful, for these
animals are starving after the severe
winter. and they might be extremely
dangerous to meet"
You think they have discovered our
presence here?"
NO doubt of 1t. otherwise why
should these footprints be in circle
round our fort?" said Bell.
You're right" said the doctor, and.
what's more. it is certain that they

Evidently the enemy was bent on the

What about going hunting. then7'

I'VE must put It off for a day or

fort. The lighthouse was taken down..

the upper plateau.
The day passed without a sign of
the enemy existence. and the next
morning. when they hurried out to ex-
anime the snow, they found it wholly

"All right" said Clawbonny. Come

Away they went but no trace of the
enemy was discoverable for two miles.
Now, then, can't we go hunting7"

The American was unwilling to de-

Factory to Enlarge.-Realty records
show that Dudley Marshall has given
quit claim deed to his property on
Twenty-second street to the Barnard
& Leas Manufacturing company. With
the purchase of the two lots owned
by Mr.. Marshall the manufacturing
concern now owns the entire block
bounded by Fourth and Fifth avenues
and Twenty-f1rst and Twenty-second
streets. The price paid for the ground
is not announced, though 1t Is stated
that more was paid for the tract than
it is worth, except for development
of the Barnard & Leas plant. The
company for some time has had plans
under consideration for extensions of
shop buildings. A definite announce
ment of buildings under consideration
cannot be made at this time, says one
of the officials of the company, be-
cause plans have been discussed only
in general way.

SALARY TO MINISTER'S WIFE?
NO, SAYS MRS. w. G. OGLEVEE

One of the papers read at the
meeting of the Rock Island Minister
ial alliance last week was by Mrs.
w. G. Oglevee, wife of the assistant
pastor of Broadway Presbyterian
church, on the subject, SHOULD the
Minister'S Wife Have a Salary?'
Mrs. Oglevee's paper is as follows:
ct am not aware that the ques-
ton OF offering salaries to the min
listers wives is being agitated in
Rock Island, but the committee as
signing our subjects perhaps caught
the class prophecy fever so prevail
ent at this season, and desired us to
look into the future and be ready
should the unexpected happen.
'Tt is not unusual for the min
ister's wife to earn a salary; 1t is
occasionally the case that she really
earns the salary which her better
half draws: but it is unusual, though
not unknown, for her to receive a
salary of her own. A church in Wis
consin pays its pastors wife a reg
ular salary from a legacy left for
that purpose.
There is surely no one who can
have a better right to wish for
money than the minister and those
in his home, for to them come more
pitiful appeals for aid than to al
most anyone else. The longing to
give when he is unable to do so is
one of the greatest trials of a min
ister's life and is what keeps him
on the verge of bankruptcy most of
the time.
"The average minister's wife is
not above wanting pretty things for
herself, her home and her children,
but she is truly the exception II she
does not desire money for the good
she can do with it far more than for
any selfish purpose.
"At first glance the idea Of sal
airy to most of us would seem decid-
eddy attractive, but to me it would
grow less and less so as / thought
of it and of the obligations that
would come with it. The minister's
wife's first place is that of his home
maker rather than that of his par
ish assistant. She is considered to
have less liberty than the average
woman of her standing in society and
should she accept salary and there
by become a public servant, she
would lose that If she felt the re-
sponsibility as most of us would.
THE minister's wife, like any
other mans wife, is eager to help
her husband, and she does some
things chiefly to help him in his bus
mess as a pastor and a preacher;
but, she does many more things be-
cause she is Christian and a church
member and not all because she is
his wife. If she were paid a sal
airy, these acts would count for prac-
tically nothing. %, she's paid for
that would be said no matter how
self-sacriflcing the service. Since
she really has no more obligation in
most ways to her church than has
any other member, her example if
she faithfully attends services and
does her share of work ought to
have the kind of value that dollars
can not measure.
80 far it has been my experience
that many other women of the con-
gregation take a far more active
part in most lines of the church

valuation, and it is understood that
the idea is antagonistic to his pro-
railroad temperament.
Yet the supreme court, in the Ne
braska rate case, held that the basis
of all calculation as to the reasonable
ness of rates mustsbe the fair value of
the property being used for the con-
venience of the public"
AS progressive legislation, a rail
road regulation bill without a provis-
ion for physical valuation, is a farce.
The national democratic platform of
1908 declared in vigorous language for
efficient supervision and rate regula-
ton of railroads" and to that end
strongly recommended the taking of a
physical valuation by the interstate
commerce commission.
But when it is considered that Har-
riman contributed 100000 to the re-
publican campaign fund on behalf of
the railroads, that probably numerous
other railroad magnates advanced
equally large sums, and that the very
bill congress is about to place upon
the statute books was originally drawn
in New York and submitted to the rail
road interests before being introduced
in congress, it is not so strange that
the physical valuation amendments
received their death stabs even after
passed by a goodly majority in the
house of representatives.
