Walter j. Patton of the Brokaw Mem
orial church and his wife held a house
warming. The ladies of the church
who had each pledged themselves tc
give 81 reported having raised $50

This report came in the form of an
experience meeting of how each one
accomplished the feat. There were
numberless cases of it having been
done by washings done for pay. Among
this class was the presiding elder of the
Appleton district, Rev. Perry Miller
who was present. He reported that he
had done two washings at 80 cents
each.
A woman owned up to the fact thai
she actually "filched' the necessary
cash from her hubby's pocket while
he was taking his second nap in the
morning.
One woman had to borrow 81, which
was cheerfully paid into the church
treasury and as thankfully received.

the immediate departure from his pres
ence of the party of the second part.
a mystery. The New York Evening
World has asked its readers who can
throw any light on the subject to do SO.
Some delving bookworm has traced it
back to Charles Dickens and instances
that when Sidney Carton, the hero of
A Tale of Two Cities'' was summoned
to the tumbrel to be driven to his finish
on the guillotine his number was TWEEN
ty-three. The book worm asserts that
the number has since been associated
with a quick departure.
Somebody else advances the theory
that not more than twenty-five horses
are started in the big handicaps, and
that all over that number are sent back
to the stable. On the race track, he
says, twenty three means to go back
to the stable.
A victim of superstition writes that
the number "23o is prominently dis
played over the entrance to J. P. Nor
gan IS office at the southeast corner Of
Nassau and Wall streets, and takes it as
an omen of bad luck. ~
The play that gave twenty three

also a signal for the cappers to get out
of the way quick before the victim
made a roar to get his money back.
It would be used with variations some
times such as eighteen and five,

would do little mental arithmetic and

CROSS IN THE HEAVENS
Rare Phenomenon Is Seen by Citizens
=, at Moorhead. g..

MOORHDAD, NINA fiery cross in the
heavens, such phenomenon that which Is
said to have induced the Emperor Constantine in
313 AID. to become Christian, was witnessed
here last night between g and 8 o'clock. 80.
u To scientists, the phenomenon is known az
double halos, appearing about the moon in dia-
meters OF 40 and 80 degrees. ~, ~ . $50
Extending perpendicularly entirely across the
halos was broad shaft Of light, while another
shaft somewhat fainter appeared horizontally,
forming perfect cross. At the top of each
halo was crescent of light which greatly added
to the beauty of the sight. 49, -,
. A single halo about the moon is of frequent
occurrence, but the double halo Is said to be
very rare and in ancient times many miracu-
lous events were attributed to its appearance.
Among the chief of these is related Of the
Emperor Constantine, who in s13 "A. D. was
marching at the head Of his army against Max
entius. In the night the emperor related that
he had seen, stretched across the heavens, an
immense fiery cross, and this he interpreted as
sign that the Christian religion, whose sym
Dol the cross was, was the true and only re-
ligion, and he forthwith allowed himself to be
baptized and became a convert. 4o
