The Rev. Samuel Moore, the be-
loved paster of our Bingville
church, dropped into this office
tother day and we had heart tc
heart talk with him which moves
US to write this editorial in his in
terest.
The Rev. Moore tells us conf
denchially that the members of the
Bingville church owes him in back
sa1ery the stupendous sum of $3.50
dollars and no cents. Rev. Moore
says he come to this pasturate sew
eral years ago from a country
church over in Pottowassie Co.,
where he had preached unsuccess-
fully for many years without re-
ceiving any salery to speak of and
that the understanding he had with
the congregation here was that
he was to receive $3.50 per annum
as long as he remained the paster
of the Bingville church. Rev.
Moore says it was his belief that
the Lord called him to this charge,
but latterly he Is inclined to the
opinion that he didn't distinctly un-
derstand what the Lord said when
he called being as he might of mis-
understood him, the way things has
turned out.
It seems that during the first
year of Rev. Moore's work the
members of the church done hand
some and paid him up in full the
sum of $3.50 for the first 10 months,
but since then all they have give
him Is donashion once In a while
of things he can't use and old
clothes from time to time which Is
either too loose or too tight and
makes him look ridiculus when he
Is In the pulpit. It is a turrible
hard thing for a preacher to look
dignihed in a pulpit in a pair of
somebody else's pants that is too
short for him at both ends and too
tight In the middle.
It was a turrible surprise to US
to learn that the members of the
Bingville church owes their paster
the muni6cent sum of $3.50. It is
also simply ridiculous and ought to
be stopped. This sum is almost as
r1i1cf1 as we have CHARGED I'D on
our books in back Subscriptions
against our deadbeet subscribers.
When the members of the Bing-
vile church paid Rev. Moore his
salery for the first year of his pas
turate, did they think they had paid
him enough to last him for the rest
of his nacheral life7 A dollar goes
a great way with some people, but
even preacher can't stretch a dol
lar out so that it viii pay his debts

THE BRITISH CABINET.

How tie Secret Documents Arc Pro-
tsetsd and Printed.
Each member Of the cabinet is sup
piled with a key which fits the lock of
a certain dispatch box retained by the
prime minister. At any particular
crisis, when important papers reach
Downing street, the premier, after
perusing them, places them in the dis
patch box and hands the box to a spe-
cial messenger, who takes 1t round to
each member Of the cabinet in success
sion. Each member opens it with his
key and relocks 1t after he has read
the documents it contains. In this
way the papers are prevented from
falling into the hands Of strangers or
members of parliament who are not in
the cabinet.
Now and again it is found necessary
to print copies of a 'sccret" which
comes up for discussion at a meeting
Of the cabinet. The document is cut
up into many small pieces and dis
trbuted among a goodly number of
compositors in the government print
ing works, each Of whom sets up his
little piece, and the little piece may
represent only a dozen lines of type.
When all the fragments are in type a
highly trusted Official collects both the
copy and the type and puts the latter
together. The printing Of the docu-
ment is then done in secret under the
eyes Of this official, and the men who
work the printing machine are for
hidden to handle. any Of the paper after
It is printed UNCONVENTIONAL Magazine.

pitchers favor. These are the last

must save his arm for other games
