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.—

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

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.”

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. ^
