EVANGELIST
FINISHES CRUISE

William II. Flake, the river evan
gelist, of Binghsmton, N. Y, who
passed through Danville about the
first of July on cruise down the Sus.
quehanna, reappeared in this city
Monday on his homeward trip, having
journeyed in his specially designed
boat all the way to she Chesapeake 9
bay. At Havre de Grace he sold his
boat and with the proceeds WAS re-
turning home by rail.
On the North Branch the evangelist
found comparatively clear sailing, but
once on the main stream he realized
that hard work was before him. Sew
eral times he nearly lost his life.
He shot the treacherous falls near
Marietta and in the act faced perils
untold. At Simes in order to save his
boat as 1t was tossed about among the
boulders he was obliged to leap into
the current. Thus often in water up
to his chin for what seemed intermin- o.
able periods he olung to his boat while
people thinking his end had come,
gestic culating wildly, ran up and
down the shore or attempted to reach
him by climbing over the rocks that
here and there protruded above the
falls. AT times his boat took a sheer
drop of four feet yet either inside or
out of it he managed TO hold on IN
his frail craft and prevent its destruc-
tion.
Below McCall's ferry he faced fresh
peril. His oar slipped at a critical
moment and he was drawn into the
dreadful whirlpool that exists at that
point. where all floating objects are
quickly sucked down into the raging
waters, which there are very deem.
His boat was tossed about like cork
on the swirling current and he gave
up all for lost.
He did not forget to pray, however.
and with all the fervor and enthusiasm
of his nature, he called out aloud to
his Creator. Then according to the
river evangelist a miracle occurred.
The laws of nature seemed suspend
ed and the frail craft instead OF com
pleting the circuit stopped short ana
like an arrow darted out of the whir!.

Barefoot croquet to Cure Nervousness

Barefoot Croquet to Cure Nervousness
Many persons in England now find
pleasure and possibly profit in play
ing croquet with the feet bare, not, as
might be imagined, in more or less
primitive fashion on the sands of the
seashore, but on the well kept lawn of
the country house, to say nothing of
that of the suburban villa. All those
who have played the game with bare
feet praise the method highly, saying
that the naked foot has a far better
grip on the turf than the foot that
rests on a sole of leather or india rub
ber. 1t is further urged that the touch
Of the soles Of the feet against the
earth has a soothing effect upon the
nerves

A few nights ago there was an at
temptat robbery at Converse College,
Spartanburg. The burglar entered
the room of Miss Reid, left his hat in
the scrap ne had with that little ath-
letic young woman, who is member
of the basket ball team, and when she
grappled with him she managed to
get finger of one Of his hands
in her mouth and gave the member a
furious bite, causing the burglar to
vince with pain. When he got into
Miss Reid's room she was awakened
by him ransacking through her Du-
reau. She then called out for help.
The burglar threw his hand over her
mouth and tried to stihe her, at the
same time telling her to keep quiet if
she valued her life. She screamed
and the finger of the burglar got into
the mouth of the young lady and she
closed on the member with all her
might. The burglar screamed, so did
Miss Reid, and the whole college was
alarmed.
Mrs. H. j. Howard, the dean OF the
college, knew that something was
wrong, and, poking her head out of
her window, gave several toots of her
whistle. The toot awakened the
night watchman, but he arrived too
late, for the burglar had lenped out of
second-story window to the ground.
