A CHURCH CONTRIBUTION.
Unique Method in Which the Minister
Obtained 1t,

From the San Francisco Post.
Father Maloney was one of the best
known and best loved men in Nevada, -
remarked en- old mining man, as he
grew reminiscent over a small bottle,
''and I am sure he did as much for the
church as any two men in the state.
When Father Maloney solicited sub
scriptions for a new church, men who
never gave before dug down deep into
their pockets and donated with an ap-
pearance of cheerfulness that was sur
prising. One. day he walked into a
saloon where a big poker game was
running. He wathched the play till he
could speak without interrupting. and
then said:
Gentlemen, we are trying to get
money enough to build a new church
here. Do any of you feel disposed to
help us OUT?
"a big, raw-boned fellow, who had
been losing steadily and was consA-
quently in no pleasant mood, growled:
I'll rastle you for $40
Without q word Father Maloney
produced the amount and laid it on the
bar. The gambler looked surprised and
hesitated, but when the other players
commenced 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 rush and
threw out q long arm to clinch his op-
norent around the neck Quick as fash
Father Maloney grabbed his wrist with
both hands, turned and threw the big
fellow clear over his shoulder. He
struck fiat on his back with crash
that made the glass ware behind the
bar rattle and jump. Father Maloney
quietly donDed his clerical coat, pocket
ed the stakes and watched the big fel-
low pick himself up painfully.
My friends, said he. i would have
been very thankful for $40. / had to be
a little undignified, but I have made
$40 for the church.
