on Well Pays Preachers Salary.
A few years ago Rev. George Wood
Anderson organized the Epworth Epis.
copal church. and later secured sum.
cient funds to erect a modern stone
structure. Knowing there was oil
about Lima. he conceived the idea Of
boring well in the church's back lot.
A subscription paper was passed,
$1,000 was pledged to make up losses
II they came. and Rev. Mr.. Anderson
started his oil well. It proved &
small type gusher and ever since the
oil well, operated daily by a gas en-.
gine, which also operates the church
heating and lighting plant, has been
pouring out sufficient crude oil to not
only pay the minister's salary and all
other church expenses. but to make
up bank account big enough to build
the church over agaln.-Llma Cor.

well as to the ups. l had not-and
have not-anything of the business
man In my composition. To me, it was
wholly finance, wholly a game, with
excitement the chief factor and the
sure winning, whether the little bali
rolled my way or not. I was the
1nancier, the gambler and adven.
turer; and that had been my principal
asset. For, the man who wins in the
long run at any of the great games
of life-and they are all alike-is the
man with the cool head; and the only
man whose head is cool is he who
plays for the games sake, not caring
greatly whether he wins or loses on
any n play, because he feels that II
he wins to-day, he will lose to-mor-
row. But now a new factor had come
into the game. l spread out the paper
and stared at the headlines: BLACK

leered at me and sneered: But she

"She will! She must!" cried

eastward for the defense of Washing
ton. Volunteers in companies, bat
talions and regiments were flocking
into the mastering camps. With the
volunteers went Bob Bryant as cap
tain of his company. With the regu-
lars sent to Washington went First
Lieut.. Edwards, while Mrs. Edwards
went back to her old home to await
the return of her husband from the
front.
The four years of war dragged wear
lily along. Lieut.. Edwards stuck to
the regular service and rose to the
rank of major, and brevet lieutenant
colonel, as which he commanded his
regiment. Capt. Bryant of the vol
unteer service rose to the rank Of
colonel.
At the battle of Gettysburg Col.
Bryant was temporarily in command
of a brigade stationed at Cemetery
Hill, During the first days fighting
his command in company with all
others at that point in the line Of
battle had suffered severely. With
the reenforcements Of the second day
came the regiment commanded BY
Lieut.. Col. Edwards, and during the
fighting of that day Edwards fell
and was buried on the field.
The war over, Col. Bryant found
the wished for opportunity to enter
the regular service, and was sent to
the far west as a lieutenant OF cav.
airy. For II years ne followed the
trail of the red man, and then 'the
good Of the service took him to
Washington to serve for a time on
the staff of the general commanding
the army. 1t was this that account.
cd for HIS presence on the Gettysburg
battlefield on Decoration day, 1878.
He walked over the ground so
iercely contested In '63 and glanced
at the white headstones looking for
the name Of his comrades. AT each
grave there was planted a small nag,
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1907-05-30

similar to one he carried idlY N bis
hand. At one grave he noticed the
frail staff had been broken, and the
flag blown away. He stopped TO
read the name on the stone. 1t vas:
BVT. LIEUT.. COL. WILLIAM Ed
WARDS.
Instantly all the old animosity Of
the years gone by returned. The MAJ
buried here had stolen from him his
opportunity, had stolen the girl he
loved and then there came to him the
thought that this man had sacrificed
his life for the flag; that this man
had lost his life in bringing success
to himself and his comrades, and had
helped in saving them from probabls
humiliation at the hands of the en-
envy.
Reverently he stopped over the
grave and planted the flag he carried
beside the white stone. AS he
did so a woman's voice close behind
him said:
Il thank you"
He turned. 1t was Blossom Ma
than. The same Blossom, though a
sad, sweet-faced woman now, instead
of the chit of a girl he had known
so many years ago. The years of
exposure and hardship had changed
him so she did not know him.
1T is my husbands grave" she ex-
planned. The wind has evidently
blown the flag away, and l have been
looking for it, but without success.
1t seemed so lonely without a flag
like the others
Blossom" he cried. Don't you
know me?"
The voice brought back to her the
days of her girlhood; the impetuous
boyish lover.
She gave him her hand, and togeth-
err they left that battlefield, where
hope had died and hope was born
again.
A few months later she again jour-
neyed to the west to spend her life at
an army post-a soldiers wife.
