BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
MODESTY.
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a
New System.
The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
n new system of church management.
A business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
und attention to the finances of the
church. As executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, etc., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as sec-
retary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the offi-
cial board. This, it is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
lion to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all ihe Protestant
churches In the city. It has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
H55.000 In contributions every year.
Dr. 0. K. Morris, district superin-
tendent, strongly commends the in-
j novation. "To my mind," he says, "It
I Is the ideal of church government. I
expect lo see the plan adopted in
i many other cities.”

THE T/GER
IIKN a man goes hunting
tigers from the hack of an
elephant. about one-third
of the danger lies itt the
damage the tiger might do
and the other Iw-o-thirds is
contributed by the various
tilings the elephant is li-
able to do In fact, if the
danger from the tiger were
the only thing lo consider,
Mger hunting would he a
favorite diversion for sn-
clety hunt chilis where tea Is served
ul the end.
In a tiger hunt, anywhere from a
half do/en to 100 elephants are used.
..When an Indian prince goes forth on
:i ri val hunt, there are even more ele-
phants than that brought along. When
a normal man issues forth, he cn
deavors to get along with the half
do/eu. For elephants are expensive;
they eost all the way from $100 to
$ 1,200; a dollar a day lo feed, besides
(he pay of ihe guides, which is not
cheap. So dial the Ilian wlio has a
tiger skin that lie has captured him-
self, upon Ills parlor floor, Inis probably paid close
to $1,000 for It.
India is the only country In which elephants
are used lor hunting In \frlca the elephant Is
mil tamed; lie Is captured almost solely for Ills
Ivory Hut in India the elephant is used units*
entirely for hunting and working purposes,
The excitement of a tiger hunt begins long be-
fore a tiger Is even sighted The wild bees of
India build their hives In a tanging position on
the limbs of trees Very often these drop down
close to Hie ground and the thick underbrush
bides them from view. It Is a not lufreipient In-
cident of these hums for an elephant to calmly
walk into one of these hives and scatter llic busy
Inmates In all directions, whereupon Ihe bees
quickly recover and seek revenge upon the clum-
sy elephant and his riders, and all Ihe other ele-
phants of the parly. Such an Incident is a com-
mon occurrence that helps to enliven a tiger bunt
and for the time being drives all though!a of Mger
skins from the hunters' minds. The basket or lion
dull In which the hunter rides is another feature
Mist often lends excitement to a hunt, such ns
no liger could provide The hunter, (lint Is the
genllemnn hunter, who lias gone to Imtin for Ihe
spur!, occupies Ihe hnwdah. This Is a very large
basket fastened to tile elephant's back by a very
strong rope. The spectacle reminds one of a
captain standing on his bridge, high above Ihe
lashing waves. The native sits on the elephant's
neck. or. to follow the same figure of speech, he
Is down on deck
Now. elephants are often skittish and liable
to fly off In a panic. They do ihia. quite forget-
ful nf the captain on the bridge, and the result
Is that the tlgei hunter often tuts to (ling with
both bauds to tbn sides of 'lie hnwdah and re-
ceive a severe shuktu,’. up us though lie were a

A Queer Harvest.
It was little Ethel's first visit to
church, and the german had for its
text, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."
But on her return home she could not,
remember it. and in consequence was
chided by her mother for being stupid.
A fortnight later a seamstress came
to the house to do a day's work. After
watching her for awhile fashion old-
style garments into those that were
th evogite, Ethel suddenly exclaimed;
“O mamma, I know now what the
preacher said. It was: ‘What you sew
in the winter you shall rip in the sum-
mer.' ’’

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, lias lieen the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positively cured thousands of
women who have lieen troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera-
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear-
ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges-
tion,dizziness or nervous prostration.

the muterlsl he uses. A
glory is (old In Asia of
tin inexperienced hunter
who. when It is elephant
was floundering about In
litis way, thought lie
would lie doing il a ser-
vice by dismounting, lie
diil so; whereupon the
elephant seeing likely
foiimlalioit material in
him. snatched him with
ills Irttnk and hurled him
in the ml re.
And so, the actual tl
get dwindles into a minor
role when he Is hunted
from the backs of ele-
phants. In fact, some
sportsmen pooh pooh the
idea of using elephants
at all. They call It parlor hunting. And, except
for these Incidental dangers, they are right. When
a tiger charges, as he sometlutes does. It Is only
the native on Ihe elephant's neck who is In danger.
The matt lit Ihe hnwdah Is high aloft with a whole
head And if he should miss and ihe tiger come on,
the worst that could happen is Mutt lie will have no
driver lo guide his elephant hack to ramp.
Yet elephants are more or less Indispensable In
this kind of hunting. The Asian forests are very
dense ami stalking is not only very dangerous lint
It Is often Imitossiltle In some parts of the jungle
no man can get through The elephant, on the nth
er hand simply heals his head against an obstruct-
liia tree and flops It over. And then, list, he carries
the supplies which, of course, arc necessat i on M ips
of this kind. ,
The control ha mahout tdrlverl lias over the
huge hut docile animal is truly marvelous, as he
verbally directs It here to tear down a destructive
creeper, or a projecting I tough, with its trunk: tlioio
to fell with its forehead a good sized tree that ntay
interfere with hs course In the line; or to break
some precipitous hank of a mullah l water cnttrsi t
with Its foie feet, lo form a path for descending Into
It. and then, after the same fashion, to clamber up
the other side. And If Its driver should chance to
let fall Ills gliding l Iron goatlt the elephant gropes
for It and lifts It up to him with Ills trunk. In Mger
hunting, however steady an elephant may tie. Its
behavior depends largely on the conduct of the
mahout. If an elephant gets frightened he goes
