Montgomery Minister Spurs Concert
To Repair Twenty Year Old Crime

Prompted by the preaching of a Mont
gomery minister. the awakened con-
science of man whose identity is not
revealed. impelied him to confess to q
twenty year old theft which he had
committed In Hamilton. Ca. and to
send a check equal to the amount of
his embezzlement to the man from
whom he stole, according to story IN
The Hamilton Journal of December IA.
The news item possesses the detrac-
tion of anonymity, neither the name of
the preacher nor his convert being re-
vealed. The Hamilton Journal In tell
ing the story says:
About twenty years ago Messrs. C.
II and John A. Cook were doing bus
mess In Hamilton under the firm name
OF Cook Brothers. One day a sack con-
tanning silver coin TO the amount Of
at least $1S5. was mysteriously stolen
from their store, every effort to recover
the same proving a failure and the
money long ago given up as forever
lost.
Last week a letter from Montgom-
cry, written on letterhead of the
Montgomery Bank and Trust Company,
and containing draft drawn by this
company on New York exchange for
Si99, was received by Mr.. G. H. Cook
This letter is unsigned and reads as
follows:

ELKs' CHARITY GIVEN
T0NEEDY OF CITY

Faith, hope and charity are the
great human attributes actuated the
Benevolent work of the Montgomery
E1ks from bright and early Christmas
morning until the shades of evening
began to close over the annual season
of peace that brings all mankind into
close communion at least once the
year.
Before the Christmas sun had risen,
the charity committee of the Mont
gomery Elks was about its mission of
mercy distributing nearly a THOUSAND
dollars in provisions and cash among
them that had been found to be needy
and worthy.
The house OF the widow where the
cupboard was bare and the children
hungry. was visited and those material
things that go to make life happy
were added to 1t. Perhaps naught
there was in her humble home to re-
mind her of the hallowed season, but
the story of the Christ child who gave
his life 1000 years ago that the world
might be made better and humanity
saved Tor the g1orification OF Him who
watches over all. It may be that even
this divine blessing was forgotten in
the home of the desolate widow, but
when the glad gifts were left at her
Preside. when her little ones saw that
good things were In sight for the table
so long bare. when she saw that hui
manity Is not dead in her kind. Christ
mas began to mean for her all that 1t
did In her younger days ere girlhood
had fed and the sterner side of life
developed.
The homes of the crippled and the
MANNED were searched out Great
baskets of good things to eat were
placed upon the tables. the children
were given money to buy those things
that bring happiness into youthful
faces, toys were brought forth and the
children were taught. by hands that
Flowed their task. to make them do the
things intended. s<s-
The old veterans who answered the
call OF their country when duty rang
the call. were sought that this Christ
mastlde might be made gladstone, and,
perhaps, whole year made brighter
The orphans were found. no matter
where they were, and Christmas
meant more to them that they have
learned that there yet live men whose
hearts are not cold to the call of the
needy.

Two Of the greatest games on record
for this season and for years were
played in the Pacific Coast League on
Tuesday, in which a number of former
Tri-State players figured. At San
Francisco the Oakland and San Fran
cisco teams played a remarkable game,
san Francisco winning in the twenty
fourth inning. The score was to 0.
But two errors were made on each
side, and the pitchers. Wiggs. the for
mer Altoona twirler, and Henley both
pitched the entire game. Henley, for
San Francisco, walked but one man
and famed six, while Wigs for Oak
land struck out thirteen men and pass
ed but five men.
Portland and Sacramento, of the
same league, played eighteen innings
at Portland, and the game was called
on account of darkness with the score
to ]. For thirteen innings not a
run was scored, but in the fourteenth
an error and a passed ball gave Sacra-
mento a score. but this was offset by a
home run by Portland player in the
last half of the inning In the sue

able to score.
