An AWKWARD PLAYER.

In 1908 King James published his
famous Book Of Sports and, thinking
to render the Presbyterian form Of
worship less rigid, ordered that GER
tain Of the sports therein commended
should be played in the several church
yards every Sunday at the close Of
divine service. John Ross. minister
Of Blairgowrie, adopted a novel method
Of withstanding the royal ordinance.
He was a strong, athletic man and
seemed much interested In the recrea-
tiOns enjOined by the monarch. Foot
ball was selected by the practitioners
Of Blairgowrie from the list Of "Sun-
day games" When the services OF the
church were completed Mr. Ross APP
peared among his people In the church
yard and Joined them In their sport.
None Of the assemblage kicked more
eagerly at the football than did the
reverend incumbent. But constant
misfortune seemed to attend him. Ev-
cry kick missed the ball and fell heavi-
ly on the ankles Of those who stood
near. Apologies were promptly ten
dered and, Of course, received. though
every Sunday many Of the parlshion
era returned home hating. Finally It
was agreed that on account Of the
minister's awkwardness the games
should be. abandoned. Thus the in
geniouB divine gained bis end and pre-
vented compliance with the obnoxious
order.

A Pair Of POETS.

GEO. A. WAGNER DEAD.
Well Known Charleston Business
Man Passes Away.

Charleston, July 16.-Mr. George
A. WAGNER died this afternoon at
about 1 o'clock, at his residence, 179
Rutledge avenue, after an illness OF
several months. His death is heard
with deep regret by Charleston's cit
liens.
Mr.. Wagner was one of Charles
toms foremost business men, and
interested in many of Charleston's 8
enterprises. His health for some
time had been wretched, and the end
came not unexpectedly to-day.
He was a partner in the firm OF r.
W. Wagner & Co., taking a very
active part in the wholesale business
of this firm. AS, member of the
drainage commission he devoted a
good deal of his time to the good OF
the county. Perhaps his largest in
terest was in the Royal Bag and Yarn
Manufacturing Co., Of which ne was
president. It was due to his energy
and business ability that this very
successful manufacturing concern has
been so flourishing. Mr.. Wagner
was also a director Of the bank OF
Charleston, and vice president OF the
Winnsboro Granite Co.
He is survived by two daughters
and a son; Miss WAGNER, Mrs. w.
w. Way, and Mr.. F. w. Wagner, Jr.

Wild Man Wears Corset.

A wild man who has been terroriz-
ing Kearney, N. Y, for months, was
captured by special Officer Cuthbert
on the meadows here and sent yes
terday to the Hudson county jail.
Cuthbert's wife and children saw the
man come from the meadows. He
made a dash at the party, but their
screams drove the fellow back into
the swamp grass. A posse was or
ganized, but Cuthbert caught the man
alone. The prisoners hair grew to
his shoulders. A heavy black beard
covered his chest. 1t was found he
wore corsets. He said he had them
on to protect him from mosquitoes
as we'll as to preserve his form.
The man said he was Robert

BACK TO PRISON.
Converted by Salvation Army, Man
Believes This is His Duty.

Chicago July 14.-Will1am McCar'
ty, forty years old, is going back tc
the Indiana State penitentiary al
Michigan City. Unless his sentence
is commmuted by execution of par
don, fourteen years will pass before
he is again a free man. Yet no Of
ficer of the law accompanied him or
his trip across the State line yester'
day and the railroad ticket on which
he came from North Yakima, Wash.
to serve out his sentence was bought
out of his own earnings. McCarty
was "converted' recently at Saliva
ton meeting in North Yakima, be-
came convinced that it was his duty
to return to the prison from which
he had escaped when on parole and
set to work earning money for his
passage.
Several years ago he gambled away
his money one evening in Montpelier
Ind. Then he became intoxicated
broke into a store and stole sou
worth of surgical instruments, which
he sold later for $16.50. He was
caught and sentenced to from one tc
fifteen years of hard labor in the In.
diana State penitentiary. After serv.
ing two years he was paroled and
given a Job on an ice wagon. Fol
weeks he did his work well. Then
he became intoxicated again and hit
man over the head in street fight
and was told this would end his pa
role and he fed the State.
Months afterwards, after serving
half a dozen Jail sentences and liv-
8 ing like a tramp, he drifted into
North Yakima, began attending oal-
walton army meetings, and after a
time he joined the army. Soon after
his Conversion McCarty's con-
science began to trouble him. Early
in June he wrote to Gov. Hanly, OF
Indiana, telling of the circumstances
of his escape from the State and OF
his intention to return and serve out
his sentence.
"Come ahead" wrote Gov. Hanly
in reply. "Your broken parole will
mean a sentence of fourteen years,
but you have made me promise.
Now fulfill it." There was no word
of possible pardon or mitigated SEN
tence.
Within a few weeks McCarty had
earned enough to pay for the long
trip to Michigan City and last Wed
nesday he started. He reached Chi
cago yesterday, had long talk with
Col. French, territorial secretary OF
the Salvation Army in Chicago, and
then went to Michigan City.
