MINISTER COOK REPENrs
Says ~ Realize That No Man, How
ever Strong, Can Buck the World"

San Francisco.-Jere Ka Cooke, the
deposed pastor of the Episcopal
church at Hampstead, L. l., who
eloped with Floretta Whaley about a
year ago, and who 1t is said has tele-
graphed to Mrs. Kzeieh Whaley, the
girls grandmother, for help, and that
he and family were i'll and destitute,
were located in this city. The couple
were found living in suite of rooms
on Masonic avenue, we'll to all appear
ances, and with comfortable surround
ings. The baby alone looked pale and
peaked, but the parents attributed
this to the hot weather.
In an interview the former clergy
man admitted that he had telegraphed
for help, and admitted that the strug-
gle of life had been too much for him,
and that he had made a failure of
everything.
I'VE are different from the Others"
said Cooke. I'VE can not ask friends
to help us, because we threw aside
friends We laughed at the world
and the world will laugh at us. Late
ly have begun to realize that no man,
however strong he may be or how
ever great may be his incentive, can
buck the world. 1t is older than us
and stronger"
In reply to the question: "You are
comfortable and seemingly have all
you want" he said ut is not mat
ter of material comfort, it is the
knowledge that one is an outcast. 1t
is the understanding that to the kind
hearted you are an object of chart
table curiosity and to the others ,just
a simple cad. These are things which
no man can fight and l am just tired"
