Motto All R:*ht, tut Staff V/art Too Far Samuel Grindstone was h hustler Of the modem school. Me believed In the gospel of siieedins up Over every desk in his office ne placed a large printed notice, read ing : “Do It Now !” But a week later, with tired Ungers and exhausted air. he tore them all down. , “Hello,” said a friend, dashing In and seeing the ceremony of destruc tion. “What’s up? Doesn't hustling pay? Going back to the old leisurely methods?” “Yes, 1 am," snorted Grindstone “Hustling doesn’t pay. I gave ten cents each for these notices, thinking they’d spur my staff to hard work.” “Well?" “Well, the net result is that 'hey’ve all acted on the motto. The chief cashier has bolted with the contents of the safe, my typist has eloped with my youngest son. four juniors came in yesterday to ask for a raise, and the office boy got a better job and has gone off to it." Someone Else Would Wear Nether Garment The henpecked man came Into a de partment store, majestically led hy his wife. Their errand, if you want tr use the plural form instead of the feminine singular, was to buy Mr Henpeck a suit of clothes. About 118 different suits of clothes were taken off the racks, and the coats, at least, tried on Henpeck He said not a word and although his legs got trembly and wobbled, when he looked at his spouse out of the corner of his eye he saw he must stand up under the ordeal until unconscious ness gave him rest and relief. The clothing salesman was get ling auore frazzled and worn down than any of the three. He had a boiler-factory perspiration and his temper was be ginning to say. “1 don't want to be good much longer." So finally he blurted out to Hen peck, “Say, friend, why don’t you buy this suit. You can wear the coat of it, anyhow?”—Exchange. Wise Man Wasn’t Talking “Sleep,” said the pessimist, “is but a foretaste of death—that divine ne penthe for which we poor mortals yearn.” “Sleep,” said the chemist, “Is caused by such an accumulation of toxins that all organic activity must be suspended or minimized pending their elimination through chemical change.” “Sleep!” said the p >et. fervently. “Ah, poppy and mandragora and al! the drowsy sirups—” “Sleep,” said the business man, "if I can get a good solid eight hours of it, makes me show up at the old desk feeling like a—er—fighting cock !” “Sleep,” said the philosopher, “is a phenomenon which—” The wise man sat in the corner and said nothing. He was taking a little Dap. Fish Easily Gathered In It may be a slander that the ostrich buries its head in the sand when frightened, but a correspondent of the Sydney Bulletin swears there is a fish that does that and more. The black spotted sea perch, Lutianus fulvlfiarn ma, when approached stands on his head and wags his tail so violently that he is driven clear out of sight into the sand. The Australian fisher men. however, just wade in and mark the spot with a piece of white shell where each fish has buried himself and then make the rounds with a long sharp spear, jabbing the sand around each sign post, quickly gathering them in. The Doctor’s Ruse The doctor of a lunatic asylum was in the bathroom one day watching a number of his patients, when one of them called out suddenly: “Let's duck the doctor!" Seeing his danger, the doctor, with great promptitude, said: “All right, boys, but suppose, now, you give the ■doctor a cheer before ducking him.” This reasonable proposition was at once acceded to, and a ringing cheer resounded through the building, which at once brought the keepers, as the doctor expected, and he was saved.— Yorkshire Post. ■■ When Washington Relaxed Irving says that Washington on rare occasions was “surprised Into hearty fits of laughter.” One such Instance occurred at the return of peace, when he was sailing In a boat on the Hud 1 son, and was so overcome by the drollery of a story told by Major Fair lie of New York that be fell back in the boat in a paroxysm of laughter. “In that fit of laughter,” remarks Irving, “it was sagely presumed that he threw off the burthen of cares which had been weighing down his spirits throughout the war."—Gas Logic. Blame the Women! “Poor George “What’s bis latest hard luck?” “After saving tobacco coupons for seven years he figured that In a cou ple more years he’d have enough to get a fishing rod he coveted.” “What happened?” “His wife and daughter started smoking, and in three months they all had enough coupons—” “To get the fishing rod?” “No; to get a band-carved incense burner.” CULTURAL CENTER MEETS Last Friday evening, May 11, the annual Mother and Daughxer banquet was held at the Center.

Hawkins Delivers Keynote Address of Conference Chicago, III.— (By the ANP)—The keynote address of the general con ference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is in session here at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Thirty-fifth street and Giles avenue, was delivered by Prof. John R. Hawk ins, Washington, D. C., financial sec retary of the denomination. Of course, Professor Hawkins did not set out to play the role of key noter, his mission was to render the report of the financial department of the Church, of which Bishop A. J. Carey is pres.dent. Before he ended the report, however, the cheers and applause, which frequently interrupt ed the erudite secretary, and the sub sequent testimonial following the re port stamped him as the “official key noter” of this gathering which has attracted more than five thousand people here and which is the cynosure of all eyes here and abroad. Suggests Progressive Program After rendering the report of the I financial department, which indicated that the A. M. E. Church is growing | financially as well as in membership and religious influence, Professor \ Hawkins launched one of the most progressive programs ever suggested | at a general conference. This pro I gram was prefaced with a plea to | “put business in our religion and re i ligion in our business,” and it was ' declared by prominent Churchmen of I the cloth and laity that if adopted would serve to solve many of the I problems now faced by the denomina j tion and make for a more satisfied | bishopric, ministry, and laity. “In dealing with the work of the | Church,” declared Mr. Hawkins, “we must consider it as related to five different groups—the laity, pastors, presiding elders, general officers, and bishops.” Discussing the plight of : ministers, the speaker criticized the method of paying ministers as now prevails in the Church. “The min isters,” he said, “are sent to the peo ; pie with the understanding that the i laity will arrange and agree upon a basis of payment for service, with so j much cash and other considerati4ns ! in keeping with the classification of ! the particular charge. The pastor has I nothing to say about when he must | go and so must of necessity agree and ; accept what the officers and members of his congregation decide to pay him. ! In some cases the pay is reasonable, i but in most others it is inadequate and it becomes a daily struggle for maintenance.” After pointing out the difficulties brought on by such a system and the fact that the minister’s moods are similar to those of every other serv ant of the people, Professor Hawkins declared that “a higher value should be placed on the ministry. The best trained men should be selected and the fie hi should be made attractive to that type of men. In every city there should be a church building and an inviting personage to w'hich the pastor can take his family and find the comforts of a real home. This al so applies to presiding elders. “The minister should know what he is expected to get and the people should know what they are expected to pay, rather than have a running on an indefinite an uncertain expect ancy by saying the pastor gets all raised on certain Sundays plus all class dues. Proper attention to these things will go a long way towards making a contented, happy ministry, and a more hearty co-operation on the part of a faithful and loyal mem bership.” Discusso Pay of Biihopa Turning to the bishopric, Profes sor Hawkins said: “Under our sys tem all of the bishops are on the same footing as to authority, responsibili ty, and remuneration for service; all are supposed to work in harmony, co ordinating the work of several episco pal districts into that of one great connectional system. That the bish ops stand at the head of this system is the outstanding feature of our Methodism. There is, of course, the big question as to whether or not the present pay of our bishops is com mensurate with the responsibilities and duties of this office. “On this point there is considerable debate by reason of the fact that there are certain prequisites employ ed by some bishops which, if consid ered in connection with the regular stipend named in the Discipline make a considerable increase in their al lowance. “Facing the question bravely, I think all will agree that from a purely business standpoint, it will be better for all interests if we would change this method by paying our bishops a salary more nearly commensurate with their services and then make it mandatory upon the annual confer ence that no part of the general funds be diverted from other chan nels by way of supplementary gift3. That such a condition as exists, has something to do with the fights made over assignments of bishops.” In the same vein, Professor Hawk ins pointed out the weak points of the methods used to pay general officers of the Church and suggested that their pay be commensurate with the service rendered and what their gen eral «alue would be to kindred organ izations. ^ <eX~XK~XK“X~X~X~X**X~X~X"X“> | GREAT WESTERN % i CLEANING CO. y Suits Cleaned and Pressed, $1.00 I Y Work Called for and Delivered JL Y 2704 Lake St. WEbster 2129 X Y C.
