partner has absconded, after raising all
the money he could on the firms name
My father came to New York. and found
that after using every dollar he had in
the world he would still owe $500 He
turned his assets over to his creditors Dor
rowed the $3.50 necessary to pay his credit
ors dollar for dollar, and went to work on
a salary. After several years of hard
work he paid back the $500 and was free
from debt once more
AT that time my father was superin-
tendent OF big Sunday school in Brooklyn.
One of the women who took an interest in
the school was an Old maid who had known
my father for years. She knew about his
experiences. and YVES determined that he
should be II dependent again. So she went
TO Ealf dozen leading members of the
church and told them she wanted TO borrow
some money to start dad in business again.
All responded cheerfully, and one day my
father was surprised at visit from the
woman.
mr.. - she said. here Is 81 .sH with
which You are going to start in business
for yourself Naturally. my father was
startled. Lord bless you. Miss - he
said, 1 can't take that. I am satisfied as
1 am There is the money she replied.
don't delay about it The old man still
demurred, but she insisted. and. after
awhile, she got his consent to use the
money. That was the foundation Of our
present business. Father opened a little
dry goods store, and l left school TO help
him. Two years later father went to one
of the men who had contributed toward his
capital, and handed him the 500 he had
advanced. What's that for he asked.
Why, that is the money you gave Miss -
to start me I'm business said dad. Nom
sense said he, you don't owe me any

asked me for $500, and gave IL to her IL
she had asked me for 81 900 she would
have got it just as quick. I made no record
of 1t, and don't want it, You have got to
take it, said dad. Now. please don't said
he, it will upset all my bookkeeping. Father
insisted though. and finally had his way.
Most Of his other creditors talked the same
way but all had to give in. Within a week
back came the money with letters asking
father to give the money to the poor If he
did not want to use IL himself. i am glad
to say We have been able to return some OF

SUPPLIED WITH COACHES
Patrons of the Bathing Rencb 4.
Have Extern Eacuitio.

nave Extra Facilities,
superintendent Nelson of the Metropoli-
Tan eoach Company was at the bathing
peacn yesterday. making inquiries as to
"he'her IL would be desirable practicable
end profitable to run line of coaches to
the beach.
Mr.. Stevens was much pleased with tho
prospect of bringing the whole city in
closer touch with the beach, and, after Civ
ing all the information asked for he in
Vlted Mr. Nelson to call again between {;
ana O'Clock pm and see for himself the
crowd OF patrons and spectators who
re. are attracted to the beach after office
hours even though many go on foot
Mr.. Nelson accepted the invitation and
as result, line of coaches will connect
win the metropolitan line at 18th and G
streets. and run every ten minutes tn the
beach and return. from ) till 3 o'clock m
on ladies' days. Tuesdays, THURSDAYS and
Saturdays. and. If the patronage should
warrant 1t. the service will be extended to
other hours and other days. One fare from
any part of the city on that line will reach
the beach at the hours above stated The
olner street car lines will probably follow
suit so that the luxury of a dip in the
Potomac will soon be within the reach of
every dweller and visitor in Washington
In this connection 1T seems desirable to
make public some of Mr.. Stevens state
lnents jLSt made in letter to the Com
mis- sioners. He says that the patrona se
of the beach has greatly increased that
the amount which Congress appropria ted
for each of the past three years for repairs
and running expenses is entirely made
quate. and that unless some funds not now
apparent should be found available the
beach Will have to be closed about the mid
die of next month. as an alternative it
may be kept open only part of each day,
say from O'Clock pm. until shutdown.
There is loud Call for more hours instead
of less. and the appropriation he thinks
should be large enough to pay two full
sets of employees. The full bathing period
of each fiscal year is one hundred days.
There are two lifeboat men. clerk. three
attendants and the superintendent to be
paid. The time of service averages twelve
hours for every day in the week. and in
the hottest portion Of the day every en-
ploye is pressed to mis- uttermost ability.
If the beach had to be closed in the hot
term IN August. Mr.. Stevens adds. it would
not only deprive thousands of the better
class of a great luxury, but it would prove
almost a calamity to the boys that run at
large. The absolute propr!ety demanded
of every patron of the beach, and the
watchful care of the police and attendants
gained for the beach such a reputation
that many parents now freely consent to
their children spending a great part Of
every day there, either Bathing or looking
en-, ard II the beach was closed the boys
would hire boats and battle in dangerous
places. The city records will show that in
proportion to the number of bathers there
are over 1850 drowned elsewhere in the
District to every one at the beach.

BACK FROM THE GREEK WAR.
The Crown Prince Called a Coward
and a Drinker.
From the New York Times.

John Christus, a six-foot Greek who has
been Il Sailorn,an on the Pacific coast, and
who went from San Francisco to Athens to
fight the Turks, arrived here Friday on the
steamship Yarrowdale. from Cardiff. Wales.
and yesterday found himself in the custody
Of the immigration officials. charged with
being a stowaway.
An alien who arrives as a stowaway is
deported on the vessel that brought him.
An American citizen who slows away is
fined so, or in lieu of that must go to Jail.
Christus had taken out his first papers and
had lived in this country for fifteen years.
1t was decided that he should be fined.
Eventually the fine was RENTED. In his
case perhaps it was because of the story of
hard luck he had to tell.
Christus started for Athens February 2S,
and was among the first to offer himself
in King Georges service after the call had
been issued for the Greek army reserves
and for volunteers. He was enlisted at
once and sent to the front, and fought in
ten battles, being present at the retreat
from Milouna Pass to Larissa. He received
a wound in the thigh from a piece Of ex-
ploded smell on thai occasion.
At the close of the war the Greek gov
eminent gave each volunteer ten francs,
and Chr:stus. together with twenty-siX
Engiishmen. six Americans. forty French
men and fifty Greeks. was provided with
free passage from Athens to Marseiiles
This was all that the government could do
for them
From there Chr!stus paid his fare 20
Paris and Havre, and at Havre some
Greeks got up a subscription and paid his
passage to Cardiff.
He was discovered slowed away on the
Yarrowdale shortly. after she sailed, and
was made to work hard for his passage
ChriStus is no respector of the Crown
Prince Constantine. The Greeks, he said,
fought courageously, but it seemed that
whenever they were gaining advantage
on the enemy retreat was ordered.
THE crown prince" be said, lis a terri
BILE coward. a stupid man. and a hard
drinker." Then he said that the prince
made the Greek soldiers furious by drink
ing German beer. They didn't mind his
drinking cognac. but anything German was
offensive. He cited an instance where an
officer of the Red Cross. Capt. Nichols. he
said. had demonstrated with the prince
when he found what a stock Of beer he
kept on hand. and the crown prince at once
ordered him to leave camp.
On another occasion, after the Greeks
had beeen overawed by the Turks. q file of
the enemy's soldiers approached the Greek
lines and demanded that they be permitted
to pass on some business errand. They
were held back while the matter was re-
ported to the prince. He said: Let them
pass
That was easier than fighting them"
Christrs remarked with sarcasm. THE
Greek flag has been dragged in the dust"
he said; 1.-THE prince has dragged 1t there
Hereafter the American flag is good enough
for me-"
Christus was permitted to go free by the
immigration officials.
