$500 A YEAR MINISTERS.

A report to the board of managers
of the Methodist Women's Home Mis-
sionary Society. now holding its an
nual meeting in Washington, shows
that more than 5000 Methodist min
listers in the United States get less
than $500 a year. Doubtless low
salaries of the clergymen are too
common in all religious denomina-
tions, as they used to be when the
Protestant clergy as a whole was
better educated and of more influence
in the community than it is today;
when, in fact, it was practically the
only educated class
1t used to be the rule-is it still?
for clergymen to have large fami-
lies, and in the education of them, in
hospitality to the travelling mission

they seemed to have ample use for
ten times their meagre pay, helped
out by donation parties farming
on the side, gifts of produce and SO
on. Yet those old rugged divines
pulled through, thanks, probably, to
their wives. What more trying situa-
ton than to be a country minister's
wife then? Is it so now? The chill
dren got fed, clothed, taught. Some
how or other, those swarms in the
parsonage prospered. There was
enough though everybody in the vii
lage thought that charity began in
the parsonage and sent every beggar
there. And ministers sons in
spite of their supposed tendency to be
rapid and devilish, are the favorites
of fortune and especial distinction in
this age.
These $500 Methodist ministers
must have some adoption of the
widows cruise Doubtless they buy
more books and periodicals. spend
much more in proportion than their
forehanded hearers of education and
charity. They deserve higher pay,
but is there a school for sound.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.

former pugilist stabbed a doctor
the other night in a Hammond sa-
loon. The ex-prizefghter's life is a
vivid example of the pace that kills
and the result of evil environment.
Ten years ago this pugilist was a
husky young lad with a fearful punch
and promising future. He had
magnificent physique and when a
worlds champion tried to use him
for chopping block in West Ham
mond ring for six rounds he gave the
champion all he icould possibly
handle Indeed il he had taken care
of himself he might have acquired
fame and fortune. He did neither
however. He allied himself with
denizens of the villages notorious
levee. He drank and took on fat.
The prize ring knew him no longer.
In his fighting days he stripped at
100, now he weighs $50. His home
is In Chicago's notorious levee; his
associates fallen women. He makes
his living through their fall. Today
he is a fugitive from justice
Such is the decensus Avernus.

STORY OF A FAMOUS HYMN.

But such a tide as moving seems

Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out
the boundless deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark.
And may there no sadness of fare

ALFRED TENNYSoN.
AS Tennyson's nurse was sitting
one day at his bedside, sharing to a
degree the general anxiety about the
patient, she said to him suddenly:
You have written great many
poems, sir, but / have never heard
anybody say that there is hymn
among them all l wish, sir, you
would write a hymn while you ars
lying on your sickbed. 1t might help
and comfort many a poor sufferer"
The next morning, when the nurse
had taken her quiet place at the bed
side, the poet handed her a scrap Of
paper, saying: Here is the hymn you
wished me to write
She took it from his hands with ex-
pressions of grateful thanks. 1t

poem that was sung in Westminster

Declaring that the Waterworks sys- tenn has been completed and has been approved and accepted by the engi- .neers, Contractor Joseph McCoppin of Little Rock today serves notice on the people of Conway that the plant has 1een tendered to the board of commis- siorers and he will no longer be re sponsible for any expense connected with it's operation. The notice was sent to the Log Cabin Democrat by Mr. McCoppin today and appears in another column of this paper.
 More than year ago construction work on the system was completed ard the operation of the plan was be- gun IT tie contractor. as | was neces- sary for pressure to be kept on the mains while the leaks were being re- paired. This process has required many months longer than was antici- pateG, but | now seems that while the leakage on the distribution and supply pipes has been reduced to Q minimum. there is stil Q loss of about 10000 gal Ions per day at the reservoir, this leakage being due, it is thought, to cracks in the walls of the reservoir
 Engineer Guy A. Watkins. who has 5een supervising the construction of the plant, is said to have advised the board of commissioners that this amount of $ is not excessive, but lat it's last meeting the board emphati- ,cally refused to accept the plant until the reservoir had been repaired.
 Members of the board when in formed of MT. Coppin's notice today declined to make any comment further than to say that the system had not been accepted Another meeting of the board will be early next week. it was stated, and it is possible that some agreement with the contractor will be reached at that time

ONE CENT RATE TO
 REUNION OFFERED

Adjutant R. A. Reynolds was ad- vised over the telephone late yesterday afternoon that the railroads had de- cided to offer a through rate of one cent per mile each way to the Con- federate reunion at Chattanooga, May 27-29- Up to yesterday the rate an- nounced was two cents mile to Mem phis and one cent from Memphis to Chattanooga.

Secretary W. D. Cole Jr., of the Faulkner County Truck Growers Association said mex perjence in picking caused the grow CTS to lose an average of at least p cents per crate, on account of some of the pickers including inferior berries.

 About one-third of the car shipped today came from the corporation farm east of Hendrix College, the balance being picked on individual berry patches in the vicinity of Conway.
