NEW YORK As SEEN DAY BY DAY.


A. Gladstone Dowic, known as the
unkissed son OF Zion Ciiys prophet, was
almost kissed Friday Dowie arrived
from Jamaica in the steamer La Plata,
having left his father in Port Antonio.
Miss Elizabeth Saxton, a young woman
passenger, who was said to be am actress,
was dared to kiss Gladstone.
The young woman wagered pair OF
bloves with girl friend on board that
she would kiss the son of the famous
Dowe before parting with him. She
walked up to him, extended her hand
and blushingly began to tell him how
glad she was to have known him.
Seemingly with presentiment of dam
ger, the son of Elijah made hasty
step backward and blushed.
Miss Saxton saw that blush, paused
momentarily to admire it, and decided
that she didn't want those gloves so very
much after all. So She coniented herself
with merely shaking the young mans
hand and wishing him luck.
Gladstone was saved. Dowic later de-
MED published reports that his father
would give up the Zion leadership, saying
his father had nearly recovered from the
attack of paralysis and would return in
April to resume his position at the
head of Zion City. Overwork, more
than anything else. was the cause OF his
illness. and the Ave weeks he has spent
at Port Antonio have done wonders for
him.

Trusted with a good part of the funds
of the Astor Bank, Tracy F. Burlington,
a I5-yearold employee, was until recent
ly looked up to as one of the most
trusted persons in connection with the
institution. Lately, however, he has
evinced a penchant for lurid literature
OF the kind that tells OF the super
human strength Of the Indian slayers
and highwaymen. These and plays OF a
like order have filed his brain with the
desire to quiz the quiet pace set in the
bank, get out and make the world gain
couple of revolutions a minute. Other
men-at least the papercovered nickel
weeklies said so--had successfully bor-
rowed money and gone West, made a
fortune and then paid back the loan.
Why couldn't he? At least he could
borrow the money; and he did.
