DR.. GEORGE. IN CHICAGO. The
Chicago Standard says: When Dr.
Thomas left the Centenary Metho-
dist church, little overa year ago,
it was more than $4,000 in debt,
and it is even said part of his own
salary was unpaid. The driftwood
which he had attracted to the
church of course foated off with him
as well as some of the members of
the church. Others of his adher-
ents remained only to make diff
Guilty, Dr. A. c. George succeeded
to the pulpit. At the close of his
first conference year the debt of
$4,000 had been paid, the church
"classes' had increased from three
to sixteen, the congregation was as
full as ever, and the affairs of the
church were generally prosperous.
This shows the superiority Of ortho-
dox faithfulness in any denomina-
ton over sensationalism and the
allurements of so-called "liberal-

An English Tale Of American Life.


Jack Finehart had one love affair,
and only one. 1t was his sole romance
in life, and he was very chary Of talk
ing about it. But | learned the facts,
and they form a startling commentary
on border life and the character of the
man.
He and his brother both fell in love
with the same girl, the niece of an Off
Ger in the regular army, then stationed
at Camp Douglas, Utah. Jack could
hate as well as love, and he could make
and keep promise. He and his brother
came TO an agreement by which both
men pledged themselves never again to
see or speak to the young lady, the PEN
atty for "A violation of the contract being
that the offender should die at the hands
OF the other The brothers shook hands
over the bargain, and each went his
way.
Six years after, Jack sought out his
brother, travelling over 1000 miles to do
So He told him quietly that he had
broken his OATH and wanted the com.
pact kept. The brother demonstrated,
but Jack was firm as adamant lie had
forfeited pledge, and he was ready to
| die. The end of il all was that the two
brothers met on the bank of the Platte
river one lovely Summer evening. Jack
drew heavy derringer cooked it, and
handed it TO his brother, The latter
drew of. IA few PAGES, leveled the eap-
on. and looked once more at Jack II
cant do it, he said.
finehart stood there, solitary, tall,
his arms folded and an expression of
quiet melancholy on his face II am
ready was his sole reply. The broth
er leveed the pistol, took deliberate aim
and pulled the trigger. The cartridge
did not explode. Jack took one long
quiet look at it and seeing his brother
about to fire again, once more gazed at
the river Suddenly the brother raised
his arm, and the deadly weapon whizzed
through the air and found last resting
place beneath the turbulent waters OF
the rushing stream.
Jack advanced in anger. "You are a
perjurer," he said; 81 would have killed
YOU and disdaining the preferred hand
