The Rev. DR.. Jones did not know
Sunday was the Presidents birthday,
though his sermon was devoted to re-
Elections on the passing twelve
months.
"Methuselah lived to be 800 years
drowned in the flood He lived all
these years; yet, as we say in COM
mon parlance, he didn't know enough
to come out of the wet" The President
smiled.
Extemperaneously, and with many
an illustration of homely thought, the
minister unfolded his ideas. He was
an interesting figure as he talked
white hair, gold spectacles that hid
sunken eyes, wrinkled face and lips
that trembled with the nervousness of
age, but enunciated his thought with
intense feeling.
When the sermon was finished a
choir of seven lifted their voices in
song. Then followed short prayer,
concluding the service.
The entire congregation stood in
silence while the President and his
party passed out. At the doorstep the
preacher thanked them for their
visit.
Second Great Honor.
at was the second great honor of
my life," he said.
"And what was the first?" inquired
the President.

Garfield" was the reply.
The presidential party motored
away to Biloxi, twelve miles further
east along the coast, before turning
back to Pass Christian. On the way
the President saw four aged Confeder-
ate veterans, in uniforms of gray, hob
bling along the road, leaning heavily
on their canes.
How do you do?" said Mr.. Wilson
as he ordered his car to slow down.
Hardly" they answered, but passe-
ed on without recognizing the Presi-
dent
Further along the road the party
saw Beauvoir, the old home Of JEFF
ferson Davis, with its tiny office near
by.
The automobiles were covered with
mud and dust when they got back, for
a heavy rain fell during the night and
drizzle continued most of the morn
ing. At the cottage the President
found many kilograms congratulating
him on his fifty-seventh birthday. He
took a short nap after luncheon, and
started for a walk late in the after
noon. He had not gone far when a
little girl waylaid him with bou-
quet of flowers.
MANY happy returns of the day."
she said. ,.
The President thanked her warmly.
1t was a simple tribute, the single
visible evidence, it seemed, that the
outside world recalled the birthday Of
the nations chief executive. 1t was a
striking contrast to the celebration of
a year ago, when Mr.. Wilson stood at
his birthplace at Staunton, Va, amid
the brilliant glamour of celebrating
crowds; but he appreciated it just as
much, he told his friends afterward.

EVENING CHNT
Put Yourself in Her Place.
By RUTN CAMERON


II think it's perfectly outrageous the
way maids refuse to come where there
are children in the home," 1 heard an
indignant young matron declare the
other day. Here I've been trying 20
get a maid for two weeks and the i'm
pudent things refuse to come simply
because 1 have two children. 1 wonder
if they think people shouldn't be allow
ed to have children This outburst
was received with appreciation by three
other young women who all began TO
vigorously compete for the floor, in or
der to tell the troubles they, or their
friends, or their friends friends had
had with equally impudent maids who
dared to object to working where theT q
were small children.
Did you ever attend a similar in
dignation meeting? If you are a wo-
man I've no doubt you have, for they
are being held all over this country,
and the almost entire unanimity with
which the offending maids are coll
demned makes me blush for the lack
of sense of justice in my sex. We all
know how much harder children make
the work in any house; how they upset
the routine, get things in disorder Gre
ate confusion and, as the New EngIa nd
housewife would put it, track in the
dirt. Even when they are our OWL
children and we love them with all our
hearts, we sometimes get out of pa
thence. What wonder, then, that they
often prove an uncomfortable trial to the
outsider to whom they are excused by
no tie of affection, and whom they fire.

courtesy and consideration.
Would you think it outrageous,
madam, if your husband, with plenty of
opportunities open to him, chose that
position in which he would be least
hampered in doing his work?
And that is all yOur maid iS doing

are extortioners,' says a third, IT think
the government ought to do something
about it,
Tell me, madam, if your husband
were fortunate enough to be engaged
in some kind of work in which the de-
mand for workers was much larger
than the supply, would he charge as
much as he could get for his services,
or not?
To get as pleasant and easy a POSI-
ton as possible and get as much money
for ones services S possible is the aV-
erage workers ambition everywhere in
the world
Why, then. should you blame this
particular class for holding this amb!-
ton?
If you, yourself, love homework so
passionately that you think you would
be willing to do it in a strangers home,
work under difficult conditions, and
accept a much smaller wage than V III

reason to condemn these people; other

each year, which is a hundred million
gallons more than Germany's conSump-
ton. Russia leads the world in its use
of distilled liquors, and the United
States comes second, with its consump-
ton of 1873, $1,000 gallons. Although the
United States is first as a beer-drink-
ing nation and second as a consumer
of distilled spirits among the nations
of the world. the liquor dealers OF
America are having a desperate fight
for the life of their traffic.
The saloon has been expelled from
one-half of the population and from
two-thirds of the geographical area of
the country. In 1868 there were $780,
900 people living in territory where the
drink traffic had been outlawed; in 1900
the number had increased to $4,000, 900;
in 1908. or only eight years after, the
number had doubled to SO 600, 000 and
today there are 47,029, $50 persons, or
fraction over one-half of the popula-
ton of the country living in no-license
territory. In the last five years the no
license population has increased a little
over 10000, 900, which is more than 10
per cent of the total population of the
nation and 80 per cent increase in the
number living in dry districts. Since
1868 the population of the country has
doubled while the number of inhab BIZ
