Wealthy farmers of Armstrong and
Westmoreland counties, Pennsylvania,
have been victimized by a brand new
confidence game Recently man in
the garb of minister called at the
farm of w. B. Templeton, near Adrian,
and asked for lodgings for the night.
Wempleton, impressed by the stranger,
readily consented. Next morning, be-
fore the stranger departed, man and
woman hurriedly drove up to the farm
house, and said they had heard that
preacher was stopping there. They
wanted to get married at once, and
the minister" performed the cere-
mony. =
Templeton and his wife signed the
certificate as witnesses. A week later
the alleged marriage certificate turned
up in the First National bank at East
Brady as promissory note for 5000,
which Templeton had to pay. A num-
Der of other farmers have been swim
dled in the same manner. - New

Little or No Finishing Required After
the Operation.

Arstream OF oxygen is the knife that
cuts metals. The operation is per
formed by means Of blowpipe with
two nozzles, OF which the first delivers
an ignited Jet OF mixed oxygen and
hydrogen, and the second Is stream
Of pure oxygen. The pressure is reg.
ulated by gauge attached to the oxy-
gen tank. The oxygen hydrogen flame
and the stream Of oxygen strike the
same part Of the metal, which, after
being heated by the fame, is rapidly
cut, or rather burned through by the
oxygen, the temperature being raised
to 1900 or 1.400 degrees Fahrenheit
by the combustion of the metal. The
cut is as smooth as sheared cut and
requires little or no finishing. Armor
plates can be cut in one-twentieth the
time required for mechanical cutting;
and the sharply localized heating prob
ably causes less strain than punching
and sheaHng develop. If oxygen costs
two cents and hydrogen two-thirds Of
cent per cubic foot, the cost of cut
ting an iron plate four-fifths of an inch
thick is about seven cents per.running
foot, or about half the cost of mechan-
ical cutting. Special machines are
constructed for cutting various OBJ.
jects. Finally there is a universal ma
chine, which can be arranged to make
curved and polygonal cuts of any pat
tern in addition to the simpler cuts
effected Nv the other machines. A

The fact that a large number Of un'
employed men are gathered in New
York, clamortng for work, doesn'
mean that there is no prosperity in
the country. Many Of these men dc
not want work, and the others could
find it if they would get away from the
congested metropolis. There is not a
less promising plan on the continent
than New York for an idle man to seek
employment, yet thousands flock there

USED PHONE TO BRING THEM
Minister'S Successful Method of Gath
ering Congregation.

One of the most difficult PROPOSE
tons that a new pastor has to face,
when he takes charge Of church that
has fallen OFF in attendance and gem
orally gone to seed, is to fill the pews
and build up Ihe membership anew.
Not long ago this problem was solved
in a Brooklyn church. Before taking
hold the new pastor had planned q
scheme which he thought would work
moderately well, but which, in the end,
far exceeded his hopes in its results.
A few days before the eventful first
Sunday he called upon dozen Of the
pillars of the church and asked
them each to call up on the telephone
early on Sunday morning a half dozen
at least OF their friends, and not only
ask them especially to come to church
that morning, but also to telephone
the same request to as many Of their
own friends ais they could. They all
promised to do so, and when the cler-
'gyman reached his church that Sun
day he found it packed He had pre-
pared a rousing sermon and every one
went away well satisfied.
This method Of getting congrega4
ton was continued along practically
the same lines for months. AS a RE-
suit Of the drumming ups BY tele-
phone the size Of the congregation in
creased enormously and the member
ship iss greater than IL ever was be-
fore. AS there 10 not room for more
in the old church they now are talk
