How Father Maloney Helped the Church.

Father Maloney was one of the best
known and best loved men in Nevada. !"
remarked an old mining man, land am
sure he did rs much for the church rs any
two men in the state. When Father Ma
loncy solicited subscriptions for new
church, men who never gave before dug
down deep into their pockets and donated
with an appearance of cheerfulness that
was surprising. One day he walked into
a saloon where a big poker game was run
ming. He watched the play till he could
speak without interruptinc and then said:
Gentlemen, we are trying to get
money enough to build & new church here.
Do any of you feel disposed to help us
out?'
losing steadily and was consequently in
no pleasant mood, growled
" IN rastle you for $40.
without a word Father Maloney pro-
duced the amount and laid it on the bar.
The gambler looked surprised and hest
tated but when the other players COM
menced to jeer him he got up and covered
the priests wager. They pulled off their
coats and squared off Father Maloney
commenced playing for an opening in a
manner that showed he was no stranger
to the sport. The big fellow made a rush
and threw out long arm to clinch his
opponent around the neck. Quick as
flash Father Maloney grabbed his wrist
with both hands, turned and threw the
big fellow clear over his shoulder He
struck on his back with crash that made
the glassware behind the bar rattle and
jump. Father Maloney quietly donned his
clerical coat, pocketed the stakes and
watched the big fellow pick himself up
painfully.
My friends, said he, Il would have
been very thankful for So 1 had to be
little undignifled, but have made $40
for the church San Francisco Post.
