LOST MEMORY IN A WRECK.
Mishaps of New Jersey Mnn Who Passed Through Railway Accident.

Passed Through Railway ACciuent.
 One of the victims of the Atlantic City meadows railroad horror Is Fran cis \. Morrell who lives with his faith or at East Orange, \. l. He Is D years old. unmarried and was, prior 10 the accident. connected with the law office of his brother-in-law, George Clymer i'll Newark.
 The remarkable feature of the case is the fact that. while slowly return Ing to his normal physical condition, his mental condition k such that he re- calls nothing of the accident. When spoken 10 upon. the subject of the col lision he denies my recollection of it or that he waS Ill it, and attributes the pain In his head to neuralgia.
 He was taken out of the wreck at n point almost under one of the locomo- lives. He reads the newspapers, en- ters earnestly and intclligently into Il conversation and seems aS clear-minded as anyone else, except on the subject of the accident.
 When Morol was taken to the At lantlc City santarium after the acei- dent 1t WaS found that he was practi- cally scalped on the left side of his head, his ear was torn off with the scalp and the skin from the left side of his jaw. His left shoulder blade was badly fractured and the bones of his shoulder were broken. His left arm was badly injured, his legs were a mass of bruised and laceratcd flesh and he was crushed about the lower part of the trunk of his body so badly aS to cause severe internal injuries. which make his restoration to almost normal physical condition little short of marvellous. His external wounds are nearly all healed except where his ear was torn.
 Owing to the remarkable recovery from his physical wounds the doctors now entertain the hope that what Is HOW Il blank to him may return to his memory and his recovery be complete.
 His conversation with members of the family Is often sharp and bright In many instances, however. the inter- yentlon of q few hours time will ap- parently oblitcrate from his memory all trace of the conversation and he will deny that 1t took place or that cer- | tain things were done. On the other hand. matters which it was not helicv- ed he could well remember he recalled with ease two. three or four days after their occurrence. In fact. he under stands and talks well about every thing except the accident and anything pertaining to 1t, and while he listens with interest to anything said about It he declares earnestly that he knows nothing about it and that it never hap pened. in spite of his frightful tcll-tale injuries-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Many People Cling to Derel'ct Preach

CTS After Their Guilt Is Proven,
 "Theres one thing can't under stand" said man of the world. "That Is the fierccnesS of church fights and the ability of every man who Is preacher 10 rally to his support scores of good people, no matter what his con duct may have been. Once a man gets attached to n church. though he may get into trouble the next week and the nature of his trouble may tend to dis credit religion, he has the support of these good people. recall three cases right now.
 "A minister was called to q church and he had hardly more than accepted the charge when his wife sued him for divorce. She charged cruelty and all that. The members of the congrega- ton knew absolutely nothing about the merits of the case. He was a stranger to them, but they rallied around him, pitied him, sent flowers to him, and. l tiguratlvely speaking. cursed and re- yiled the woman whom he had prom ised to love, cherish and protect. though It was proved he hadn't done anything of the kind. The papers printed col umns of the stuff, and every line of 1t was a damage to the cause of religion and particular damage to the church. But these good people stood by him and are standing by him yet If the wife gets n divorce they will continue to stand by him and will condemn the woman.
 Another recent case that has figured In the newspapers is of man who has clearly outlived his usefulness in the church he Is in. Tho church Is in debt Not enough money is raised to pay run ming expenses. The organization has run down. II has been getting worse and worse eyer since this man took hold. This fact Is notorious. yet enough people cling to him to keep him In the church and to make 1t mighty unpleas- ant for anybody who says q word against him.
 "A third case that has also figured largely In the papers Is that of man whose character is well known and who has bambooZled everybody who eyer udu }ilN uldutldl UHllSdcllouS WILL him. Yet he is able to hang on. and is surrounded in all his troubles by crowd of women and men who call him dear and pity him and denounCe the men who are trying to have him de- posed as gang of prosecutors. These three cases simply come to my mind now. If sat down and thought could recall hoollfui. Now, unquestionahly. this Is all wrong. IL isn't business. and it hurts religion. It keeps men in the ministry who are wholly unfit to be there and are continually bringing dis credit upon the church. The most pc cullar thing about it all Is that in al- most every row there will be found on the side of the pastor some business men who would no more think of run ming their business in the way the church Is run than they would think of flying. If anybody suggested their keeping a malcontent they would say that the man who suggested 1t must think they were crazy. York Sun.

The Song of the Leaves,

The dead leaves sighed to the passing wind:
 Carry us Far, far from here on thy mighty wings. Away to realms of forgotten things Where the unwept dead grave may find,
 Carry us! The dead leaves sighed to the flying dust;
 Cover Us. That the butterflies fitting overhead May see us not, unloycly and dead, Hide us from sight, for decay We must,
 Cover us! The dead leaves sighed to the chilling rain:
 Weep for Us. For We shall blend with the roadside slime, And they who saw us in summers prime Shall passing by. know us not again,
 Weep for Us. The dead leaves sighed to the falling snow:
 Bury Us! Bury us deep in uutrodlen ways. Far from the glory of bycone days, Far from the summer of long ago,
 Bury Us, So the keen wind blew them far away; The dust enWrappcd them in clouds of gray, The rain wept over their early doom. And the white snow silently built their tomb. -Beatrice J. Prall, in the English Illus. tratcd.

All Right In the End.

Your heart is bowed with a transient
 grief,
 Your eyes are misty with tears; There's q sorrow deep and there's no
 relief
 Ahead in the maze of years. So it seems to you as you weep to-day, Yet sorrow may be your friend So keep up your courage a while and
 pray,
 Twill come out right in the end. There never was day so dark and drear But what, ere the sands had run. The clouds would shift and the heavens
 clear
 To the smiling face of the sun, There never WIS cruel stab or blow Inflicted by foe or friend But there was balm, God willcd it so-- Twill cone out right in the end. There naycr was love so cruelty wrongel Or throttled by yengcful lies. But time atoned for the joys you longed, And love that was crushed would rise o. heart, rise up from the slough's de
 spond.
 Your faith must not swerve or bend: Let hope be pinned above and beyond Twill cu"le out right in the end. Roy Farrell Greene

CHANGE OF AGENT.
AGENT Massn. of the Santa Fe Railway.
Removed From OfHce-Hls Sue
cessor Is Mr.. A. Lucas.

A little bird told an ARDMoRE-
ITE reporter today that all was
not we'll at the Office of the San
ia Fe company. By chance
Mr.. Mason was met on the
street and asked if a change of
agent had been made here. He
replied. yes" and pointing
his finger to himself, said:
Discharged. but not despond-
ent. Mr.. Lucas, who has been
cashier, is now agent at Ard
more. and | wish him we'll" !"
On being pressed for further
enlightenment, he replied that
he had been asked to send in
his resignation on former occas-
ions, but not being built that
way he had failed to do it, and
consequently was discharged as
above stated. The trouble was
not from the company in gen.
eral, but the work of one of the
officials Nho has been trying
for a long time to GUST AIr. Ma
son.
The CHEEKY aspect of the re-
tired agent gave the reporter
the idea that he was glad to be
relieved from the bondage in
which he has been held for a
long time. Mr.. Mason says he
can get along all right in the
future. and while not definitely
settled he is inclined to think
that he will take up the study
of law in Ardmore.
The ARDMoREITE has but one
expression to make in connec-
t on with the above, and it is
this: With all due Difference
to Mr.. Lucas, the Santa Fe
people will work a long time
before they get a'4other agent
as efficient, as popular and ac-
comodating to the public in
general as has been the official
now retired.
