Archbishop Kahn was a missionary priest
in West Virginia, and traversed on foot
or horseback the mountain Businesses
and valleys of that sparsely settled
country, suffering many and severe pri-
vations and hardships in his efforts to
spread the gospel of his church. He
never hesitated in those pioneer days to
swim his horse across swollen torrents
in his round Of duty. Indeed his early
experiences were such as to admirably
fit him for the larger duties which in
later years he has been called upon to
perform.
A well known Virginian says Of him:
II grew up in the mountains OF the
mother Of presidents without having
heard that there was such church as
the Catholic until the beginning Of the
war, and my first intelligence on that
point was of Archbishop Keane and Arch
bishop Kahn, both of whom penetrated
the Businesses of the hill country and
brought the news of the existence Of the
Catholic church. Up to that time every
body l knew or heard Of was Protes-
tant, but it was not long before little
white church buildings, with a cross on
top, began to appear among the noun
tains. and thus when l left the old state
of Virginia the names of Kahn and Keane
were equally well known and revered. y

ROY EARL YORK, THE BOY PREACHER
He is but ID years of age, and his name
is Roy Earl York. He is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Y. A. York of Warrensburg,
Mo.
Roy was born at Abilene, Kan. ;,
March 10, 1882. From early childhood
his mind developed a strong religious
trend. His favorite childish pastime was
to "play meeting with his little com
panions, and he would not only talk and
pray himself, but encourage playmates
to do likewise.
In 1898 the York family moved to
Warrensburg, Mo-. and in November Of
that year the lad, who showed himself
to be a boy of much more than ordinary
intelligence, aside from his religious
precocity, was baptized and became a
member of the Baptist church under the
ministry of Rev. II. A. Slaughter, who
seems to have been the first minister to
discover Roy S strong inclination toward
evangelistic work and gave him every
opportunity for labor along religious
lines.
Roy preached his first sermon ON Feb
8, 1894, during revival meeting which
was being conducted by the Rev. Mr.
Slaughter at Knob Noster, No, his text
being taken from the fifty-third chapter
of Isaiah. Considering the extreme
youth of the preacher, it is said to have
been good sermon and a great sur
prise to all who heard it, He continued
preaching at Knob Noster for several
days, attracting large congregations A
short time ago the Baptist church of
Warrensburg gave him a license to
preach, though he has not yet been regu-
larly ordained rs a minister, preferring
to wait for that rite until he has COM
pleted his education. He expects to at
tend the Southern Baptist seminary at
Louisville. Since he began preaching
he has spoken at various places in Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
Roy has just passed his thirteenth
birthday and still wears knee brooches
and the broad boys collar, which give
him very youthful appearance. His
voice still retains its childish treble, but
is strong and clear.
In a series Of evangelistic sermons
soon to be inaugurated at Pertle Springs,
Mo. Roy York will be assisted by Rev.
Erwin +. Leake, aged II, pastor Of the
Baptist church of Mount Carmel, Ills.
who is the youngest pastor in the United
States-

Breed of Nonscratchers.
Speaking of hens reminds me of a
worthy townsman of ours, ]. Fairfield
futile, who had a small patch of straw
berries so situated that only fence,
and poor one at that, divided them
from a neighbors henyard, and these
same hens bothered our friend very
much by getting through the fence and
scratching up the strawberry plants.
Our friend tried many ways to rid
himself of them, but failed until one
day he saw his neighbor in the act of
setting another hen.
Now, it's necessary for you to know
that the hens above mentioned were Of
what is known as the Shanghai breed
and had very long legs. 1t occurred to
our friend Tuttle that he saw way out
Of the difficulty. So procuring half a
dozen bantam (short legs) eggs he stole
over during the night, took out six Of
the eggs that were under the hen and
replaced them with the six bantam.
What was the result? When the chicks
were Matched, each one had one short
and one long leg, and when they would
stand ON the short leg and try to scratch
with the long one they would only sue
coed in throwing themselves over
When they would stand ON the long leg,
the short one would not reach the
ground by several inches, and so in the
matter of scratching they were not IN 1t,
so to speak. Cape Elizabeth Sentinel
