Some of 1 these will be miners, but others will be eminently respectable people who have never done days work in their lives"

But from 1899 to 1902 this important parsonage in Amer ican history is all except lost to view. Pretty certain, however, that during that time he could have been found In the back room of some saloon, gambling.
