His Prayer.

The little son of an Episcopal clergy
man of Los Angeles was visiting with
his mother n Canadian city, where the
two attended services at a certain
church. 1t is IAe custom In that church
for the clergyman and congregation to
bow In silent prayer for minute or
two Just before the sermon begins. 1t
was a new proceeding to the child, for
he was not accustomed to seeing this
done In his fathers church, but the
little chap bravely and reyerently did
his part.
After the service was over the clergy
man, one of the old evangelical school,
who had noticed the reverence and ap-
parent devotion of the child, spoke to
him and commended his reverence with
an affectionate pat on the head. 1T
was very pleasing" he remarked to a
group of bystanders. Ito see this little
fellow SO deeply engaged in earnest

Cures Victims OF Drugs.

A church union now exists In New
York for the most remarkable purpose
on record. Its ayowed object is TO
cure the victims OF the morphine and
other drug habits and a most impress.
siye list Of well-known clergymen have
registered themselves In support Of the
scheme, which is conducted by DIR. w.
n Richie.
The plans OF DR.. Riches work and
the means by which he hopes to make
1t effectual are TO be made public as
soon as possible. All that is withheld
from the public Is the elements OF the
mysterious compound, which is, DIR.
Richie alleges, an absolutely infallible
panacea.
Men and women who have sunk TO
the lowest levels of degradation have,
II is claimed, by the use Of this cure
become perfectly regenerated. Physi.
clans Of established reputation private
ly indorse the cure, and the testimonials
appear so convincing that the clergy
men who have formed a union on the
strength Of 1t feel absolutely sure OF
its efficacy.
DR.. Richie says that he obtained the
cure from friend of his. who In turn
obtained II from a German savant. The
friend referred TO. having once become
the slave of morphine and having but
cents left In the world, converted II
into 5-cent stamp to address a letter
to the German who had originated the
cure. The recipe came, was made use
of. and the man. when DIR. Richie knew
him, was enjoying an honored old age
A committee has been formed to re-
ceive donations for the cure OF such pa,
TENTS as are not able to pay.
