Tells How She First Came to Preach.
Talks Like an Adult.
Wonderful stories have come from the
south about the power Of little colored
girl who has been converting hundreds
of persons, both white and colored, from
the error Of their ways. 1t is in the Caro-
linas that most of her work has been
done, and the people there call her the
pickaninny preacher. Her name is Gle
retta Nora Avery, and she is 10 years
old
Wherever the girl preached, she stir
red mp sort of religious frenzy among
the people. and the mere announcement
Of her name was sufficient TO crowd the
largest halls beyond their capacity
What made this the more remarkable
was that the girl herself went into none
Of the ecstasies Of emotional excitement

Her sermons were temperate, dignified,
appealing. and her command of language
such that IL was difficult to realize that
child and not grown woman was
speaking. In her prayers she seemed to
be particularly moving, and of those
who came forward upon her call for the
penitent a very large proportion became
true converts. She is now in New York,
where q reporter called ON her. On the
way up the stairs the reporter passed

A CRIPPLE MADE HAPPY.
His Hobby of Keeping Clippings Leads to
the Recovery Of a Diamond.


the Recovery of Diamond.
The old adage, Truth is stranger
than felton, received another exem-
plification at Marshall, Tex, few days
ago. Some three years since young
physician named Pollard, residing in
Nashville, was a passenger on Texas
and Pacific train from FL Paso. Between
Fort Worth and Marshall be discovered
the loss of valuable diamond, which
formed the setting of his scarfpin. A
vigorous search was instituted, but with
out result, and the loss was advertised
in the Marshall papers, large reward
being offered for the recovery Of the
stone.
Several days ago an employee of the
carshops. while overhauling a coach
which had been run in for repairs, came
across large diamond firmly wedged
in between the cushions Of one of the
seats. Now it happens that this man,
Hagan by name, has a little crippled
son who has passion for everything
connected with his fathers business,
and who is in the habit of clipping out
of the newspapers notices of advertise
ments relative to railroad affairs and
FASTING them into an old scrapbook
When Mr.. Hagan spoke of his find, his
little boy seemed struck with an idea,
and asking for his scrapbook he began
turning over the leaves. Presently he
showed his father DIR. Pollard's adver-
tisement of three years ago The doctor
was communicated with, the diamond
was identified by fitting it into its old
setting, and the little cripple was made
happy by handsome reward. -Phila-
