A coLoREp PASTOR sK1ps


After Collecting Large Sam of Money
Ostensibly for Church Purposes Said
He Was Going South to See a Dying
Father.
Rev. w. H. Jones, a colored preacher
of Meriden. has just greatly shaken the
faith which his coIored brethren have
previously had in him by skipping out
with funds which he had collected os-
tensibly to pay off the debt of 1895 on
the A. M. f. church of Meriden
Two weeks ago Detective Sergeant
Dennehy heard report that Jones was
getting subscriptions from persons in
New Maven toward an alleged fund
which was being raised to clear off a
debt on the Foote street church. The
officer followed Jones all one day, and
strange to say, the latter, as is alleged
made saloon keepers his victims. He
got money from AuGrw Coolahan, VIII
liam Weadick, Thomas Shea and John
Harrigan, all saloon keepers.
AT the, corner of Beach and Wallace
streets Jones was4apprehended and TAX
en- to City Attorney Matthewman. The
preacher was asked for his credentials
and presented book showing that he
was authorized by j. Mills, d. Giants, f..
Jockey and j, Baker. trustees of the A,
NJ E. church, to receive subscriptions
for the purpose of clearing off the
church debt.
But investigation showed that this
book was issued to Jones several years
ago by the A. M f. church of Meriden
and not by the Foote street church of
New Haven, as Jones led his victims to
| believe.
AT the time the book was given to
Jones he was pastor Of the Meriden
church, but was relieved of that charge
nearly year ago. Since that time he
has been in New Haven and filled the
/ pulpit of the Foote street church, but
| the trustees have never authorized him
to collect money for anything.
Pending further investigation, Mr.
Jones has left the city He sent a letter
saying he had gone to the bed of a dy-

A NEW IDEA.
How the Time of Day May BE Told
in the Dark.

HOW the IIme OF Day may De IOIO
in the Dark.
What time is it,"
Il think 1 can tell you without look
ing up"
He drew out his watch and held it
up close to his ear and slowly turned
the stem-winder.
"One, two, three, four. five, six, seven.
eight" he counted, and then he said:
'"That means seventy-two minutes. 1
wound the watch up tightly at 8
o'clock, and so the time ought to be

The other was regarding him with
amazement. DO you mean to say
that you can telt@the time of day by

mot exactly; but I can come very
near it: usually within ten minutes
and it's quite simple, too. All you
have to know how long one tick in
winding up will run the watch. I'll
explain to you. Suppose at o'clock 1
WIND UP my watch until it is tight as
we say-that is, until another turn of
the winder would. apparently break a
spring. At o'clock I wind again and
find that the winder clicks twelve times
before the watch is wound up to the
place where it sticks. Then you know
that twelve ticks will run the watch
120 minutes, and that one click repre-
sents ten minutes Of time"
What good is it to know that?"
well, suppose you go to bed at II
o'clock tonight, and on retiring wind
up your watch and put 1t under your
pillow. During the night you wake
up and wonder what time it is. You
don't want to get UP and light the gas.
All you have to do is to pull that
watch out from under your pillow.
hold it to your ear and count the ticks
as you wind. If you count eighteen,
then you know that the watch has run
down 1870 minutes since II O'clock and
that the time must be very near %
o'clock. To be sure, you can't tell the
exact time, but you can generally get
within quarter of an hour of it"
wouldn't the same rule hold good
for clock or watch which is wound
with a key?"
IT dare say it would, but have never
tried it on anything except a, stem
winding watch. I know blind man
who always tells time by winding his
watch and counting the ticks. His
sense of touch is quite delicate. and he
can wind UP his watch three or four
times day and then calculate within
ten minutes of the correct time.

owing to the fact that not one member

under the seat from behind, he drew
out the precious splinter and, though
his heart beat fast in anxiety, scraped
its charged end with a steady hand on
the corrugated edge of the compass

Once, twice-pressed too tightly for
fear of a possible age-it failed

SAVING al LIFE.

Scarce waiting to return the glad en-
braces of his family, Tom said:
Father, I've picked up a half frozen
Indian boy on the prairie. He's still
alive and we may be able to save him. "
Then, without wasting further time.
the stout young fellow brought the
Waif in; while Mr.. Morgan. hurried to
get the horses into their turf-covered
stable, after which he and Tom went
vigorously to work upon their uncon-
scious guest. who appeared to be about
Is years old. His feet and legs up to
the knees were badly frost bitten and
his left arm was simply solid icicle;
but after a half hours rubbing with
snow, the anxious hosts succeeded in
restoring the circulation in his lower
limbs, and the boy, slowly reviving,
managed to swallow g cup of hot cof-
fee. The arm, however. proved be
yond help and, when finally thawed,
its heretofore red skin turned to pur-
plish black.
Soon the rescued youth was able to
sneak; when, in broken English, he eX-
planned that he belonged to a large
band of Sioux, who, as our farmers
know, were encamped ON woodland
stream about six miles away. He had
followed a wounded deer far out on the
plain before killing it, and then, just
after SHINING the creature, had been
caught in the blizzard, had lost his
way and finally laid himself down to
die Asked his name, he proudly re-
piled that 1t was Tak-to-ko-no Sioux
for antelope) and that-he was the son
of the chief, Wa-me-day-wah-
CWar Eagle, his own name being
given because he was swift of foot.
Meantime, Mrs Morgan had prepared

while partaking of which, the white
boy waited upon the red, picking out
tidbits for him and coaXing him to eat,
as tenderly as if he had been a
brother.
So soon as the blood had begun to
course freely through the contracted
arteries and veins Of the young strang
er's feet and legs, the pain was for a
time so excruciating that great drops
Of sweat fell from his face like rain;
but with true Indian stoicism he bore
it all without q murmur On testing

sorrowfully observed the kind-hearted
farmer. 1.-The moment the blizzard
passes, Tom you must ride to Bismarck
and bring a doctor. Immediate am
putation will be necessary, fear"
All through that night Tom sat up
with Tah-to-ka-no, doing everything
possible to mitigate his sufferings. and
the next morning, the storm having
ceased, he set out on his forty-mile
ride to Bismarck, stopping on the way

refused to bulge an inch. So dense
was the snow-laden air, Tom could see
nothing beyond the animals hind
quarters; therefore, in order to ascer-
tain the cause of their fright, he scram-
bled to the ground and walked for
ward to their heads. Then, while
STOPPING low, he saw, lying squarely
across the wind, a dark streak project
ing a few inches above the snow,
which had gathered into a ridge on its
lee side.
Almost as much by feeling as by
sight, he found that this was the in
animate body of an Indian boy, whose
stiffened left hand still grasped an old
flintlock gun, while his right hand and
arm, his head, chest and legs were
partially covered by a hard-frozen,
fresh deerskin, evidently but lately
stripped from q carcass which the
young brave had doubtless cached to
await the storms abatement.
To all appearance the boy was dead,
but Tom Morgan could not bear to
leave the body Of even a savage to be
devoured by coyotes; so, throwing off
it the hardened deerskin, he lifted it in
his arms and was carrying it to the
wagon. when, as the cold breast rested
against his own, he plainly felt a slight
beating of its heart
Thrilled with JOY at THIS UNLOCKED
for discovery he took the buffalo robe
from the seat and wrapped it care
fully around the senseless form, which
he then laid behind the further shelter
afforded by his own lap robe. The
ponies, as if conscious of well doing,
now broke into a willing run and in
less than ten minutes brought up
against a wire fence which their driver
knew reached from his fathers house
to the barn. He could, however, see
neither building, though both lay with
in forty yards of him; but, following
the fence, he came in few seconds
to the lighted windows of home! The
next moment he threw open the front
door and found himself in the pres
ence of his weeping mother and sister,
who had given him up as lost. while
his father paced to and fro in silent
despair
