Mr.. James B. Clary, superintendent
of the Southern Methodist sunday

years been wrestling with the problem
of irregularity of attendance among
the children of his school SC on the

one who missed no more than TWO
Sundays. Those who were sick were
counted as present and those going
away visiting were counted p resent IL
they produced a certificate OF attend
ance where they had been visiting lie
had at the end of the yea" rs gold ana
silver stars to buy. He has promised
to keep it up for three years PROVIDED
the school does not bankrupt him.
The plan has worked admirably.

A Big Fortune

Mr.. Benz. +. Geyer, an aged and re-
spected either, of Hedgesville, w. Va,
has been having an interesting cores
pondence with stranger in Spain dur
ing the past several months; The story
of this correspondence is as follows:
Some twenty five years ago, Mr..
Geyer, had niece named May Geyer
who married foreigner and he has
heard nothing from her since her mar
rage. Some months ago he received s.
message from the man who claimed
he was the husband Of May Geyer. He
stated he had gone TO Cuba after his
marriage where he had in great good
luck made about Sl50,000, that he be-
ing a SpaniaId and had run away
from his army service, was arrested
while on visit to Spain, tried for de-
sertion, convicted and had been SEN
fenced to eighteen years Imprisonment,
that he was then confined in a castle,
that he had no hope of living the time
out, that his only child, little daugh-
ter was in Spain and that he would
will his fortune about $4,000 to Mr..
Geyer and the child if Mr.Geyer would
accept the guardianship of the child.
This information was sent through a
priest on duty at the castle who re-
quested that he cable his answer, sim
ply, 81 accept or NO to avoid sus-
picion. Mr.. Geyer consulted with
friends and finally decided TO send the
cable-gram, 81 accept In short
while another letter came from the
priest stating that the man was dead
and sent copy of his will in which he
had bequeated his fortune to his child
800, 200 and to his wife's uncle, "Benj.
f. Geyer, carriage maker, at Hedges
vile, w. Va, L. S. A, the residue"
The writer stated that there were
some expenses and as he had 10 avail
able funds in Spain to pay them Mr..
Geyer would have to send him the
small amount of S9i7 and then he
would start with the child for America
The same mail brought an affection
able letter from the girl to her Dear
Uncle Ben, in which she stated that
she was so glad that she was to have a
good home with him. TO this point
the story was so plausible that all
were interested but the demand for S941
was too much and Mr.. Geyer wrote
back telling the priest that he could
not forward the money but would
sanction his spending the child's
money to bring her on and there the
matter rests. Mr.. Geyer is waiting
| further developments.

In loving remembrance of Mr.. Geo.
w. GLADDEN. who departed this life
Jan. 7th 1905.
Father we, miss thee from our home
We miss the from thy place,
A shadow DER our life 10 cast,
We miss thy happy smiling face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without him,
We miss him everywhere.
Earth has lost it look of gladness,
Heaven seems to US more bright,
Since the spirit Of our father
Took its happy homeward fight.
And we long to cross the river,
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see and know our loved
ones,
And be with him ever more.
God alone knows how we miss thee,
In our home, oh father dear!
How for thee our hearts are iyearning
How we long thy voice to hear.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
| When the day of life is fled;
There in heaven, with JOY to greet.
thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
