“I am trying to make my course of
action concur with the admonition of
St. Paul —owe no man anything.” This
is the statement made by the Rev.
Ferdinand S. Rockwell, of the Sheri
dan Park Methodist Church, Chicago,
in exolanation of a determination to
quit his pulpit for n term, possibly no
longer than a year, during which he
hopes to ‘‘catch up” financially. “My
salary of $2,500 » year is ample for
the needs of my family,” he said. “As
salaries go in the church, it is most
generous. As a matter of fact, I have
a nressing obligation to meet in the
near future, the payment of which I
cannot postpone. In the church, upon
my present salary, I cannot meet the
obligation. It is a question of simple
mathematics. It is mj purpose tn
leaving the church for a time to wipe
out that obligation. Then I shall ex
pect to return to the work.”

The Persevering Guesser.
Dr. Aked, John D. Rockefeller's
pastor, was praising the perseverance
>f the suffragettes, who, he said,
‘stood ready to undergo imprison
inent and to sacrifice their lives’ to
right what they decided' an intoler
able wrong.”
Then, with a smile. Dr. Aked re
sumed :
“It is amazing what perseverance
will achieve. Even misdirected per
severance has achieved marvels.
There is the case of Robson, great
Notts cricketer.
“Robson, during his Australian •
tour, was determined, one scorching
afternoon, that his side shouldn't do
the hard work of fielding. . -.
“Well, ‘when the Australian cap
tain spun the coin, Robson shouted:
“ ‘Woman!’
Then, seeing that heads lay up>
permost, instead of acknowledging de
feat Robson said, with perseverance
■and nonchalance:
“ ‘Well, we'll go in.’
“ ‘But —er —I thought,’ said the puz
zled Australian, ‘you see, I don’t quite
know the English meaning of "wom
an.”
"‘Then,’ sard- Robson ' gallantly,
We’ll toss agaip.’
“The Australian made a second
toss. Robson called heads, and tails
came up.' The ordinary man would
at this point have surrendered in de
spair, but not so Robson.
“'Honors are now easy,’ said he,
with a pleasant smile. ‘On with the
rubber.’
“The Australian a third time flip
ped the coin, and having at last call
ed the toss correctly; the persevering
Robson led his side to the shady
benches.” " ___ . „
K Back-Water Town.
“.It was. one of those sleepy, one
horse, back-water towns, like
Squash,” said Senator. Burton, de
scribing at a Hot Springs dinner a
town that jte disliked.
“Squash is the limit. A gentleman
arrived there the other day and want
ed a haircut. He found the banber
slhop, and Vi af|er shaking -the barber
vigorously, managed to awaken him.
“ ‘How long will it take you to cut
my hair, barber?” he asked.
“ ‘Not long, 'boss,’ said the barber.
“And he rose, yawned and stretch
ed himself. Then he called upstairs
to his wife:
“ ‘Hey, send the kid down to the
newspaper office to tell the editor 1
want my scissors just as soon as
he’s done editin’ the paper. There's
a gent here waitin’ for a haircut.’ ”
