Shepherd Of the Flock warned

Colonel Adam Harmon Of Savannah
says that when he was boy the pas
tor of a negro church In his neighbor-
hood was detected Inc the act of en-
bracing a comely sister Of the congre-
CATION behind the church door one
night after service. The deacons
promptly convened in extraordinary
session and had the preacher up on a
charge Of unbecoming and unpastoral
conduct
The accused was at no loss for de-
Tense. He stated-and proved his
claim by the ScriptIres-that pastor
was a shepherd and the members of
the congregation were his sheep. Even
the apostles were often depicted as
shepherds holding lambs in their pro
tecting arms.
"Dis yere young lady," he added, lis
one OBJ my lam's, and wen takes her
into my arms ] was jes' obeyin' de

Seemingly there was no answering
such an argument as that The dea-
cons put their heads together and voted
unanimously to acquit the preacher.

acted as spokesman Of the tribunal

Peanuts In Africa.

The peanut seems to be playing the
part of "civilizer" in some of the colo
NAL districts of Africa. Traders give
q negro a bushel Of nuts for seed on
condition that he return four bushels
from his crop, and since the yield In
good years is twentyfold the black
man generally has surplus that he
can sell at the rate Of a shilling BUSH
ell. From a single station in Senegam-
bia there were shipped in one year
$4,000 tons. Small boys and scientists
have long been in agreement as to the
value Of the peanut. Now statesmen
also will have to do 1t honor since 1t
seems likely to lead the native African
into the paths Of agriculture.

this matter has been taken by the
Colorado Springs (Colo) chamber Of

TAXING German Bachelors.

There has been much talk in the
United States Of taxing bachelors. but
nothing has ever come of it. In Strass-
burg, Germany. the town council has
adopted a system Of paying municipal
employees which puts in effect tax
not only on bachelors. but on married
men with small families. A standard
schedule Of salaries has been arranged
adapted to the needs OF married men
with three children, Single men be-
tween the ages of twenty and twenty
FIVE receive 10 per cent less than the
schedule salary. When man has
more than three children he receives 3
per cent more than the standard sched-
ule, 10 per cent more for five chill
dren and - per cent more II he has
seven children. A similar system has
been in operation in Halberstadt for
some time, with thi; difference-that
the extra allowances for children are
paid directly to the mothers.-Harper
