PREACHER HARKs BACK TO HOE
Former Pastor Harsha Finds More
Money in Potatoes Than I'm
Sermons.

Potatoes pay so much better than the
ology, according to the view OF the Rev.
Dr. William Justin Harshs, formerly well
known as pastor of the Second Reformed
church in Harlem, New York City, that he
has stopped preaching and taken to farm
ing.
He was a forceful and brilliant preacher
and his resignation from his pulpit was a
sensation eleven years ago. He left New
York City and sent his resignation from
southern Texas The Rev. Dr. Harsha had
many financial fluctuations, which came
upon him to the amount of $4,000, owing
to his signing the notes of western pub
fishing house which failed His creditors
pursued him to this city and sought to
attach his salary.
According to an article from his pen
which appears in the current number of the
magazine Success, the Rev. DR., Harsha
gathered together about 1890, with which
he and his wife, his son and his two young
daughters went out in search of pastures
new. He was SO impressed with the idea
that the ministry offered no future that
he dropped 1t like hot potato. The clergy
man obtained a quarter section in Colorado
for which he paid SIG down. He bought
two mares and a COW and 200 pounds of
seed potatoes, ana now ne Is dolnB very
we'll indeed, he writes. He is harvesting
1900 pounds of potatoes to an acre. for
which he has been getting half a cent a
pound. One hundred hens. laying each an
egg a day, meet his grocery bill with
regularity and sometimes lay aside a sur
plus for a rainy day. Also he is raising
pigs and enjoying the sport of broncho
busting and he has some fine horses
His barley crop, the Rev. Mr.. HaPsha
AYERS, is excellent, and he raises other
grains,
From year TO year" he writes, I'VE
have cleared more land, being careful to
remember j. ]. Hilrs advice Not large
farms, but larger use OF the hoe We
have a small orchard Of fifty trees. but
we believe In the perseverance OF the
saints"
All the crops OF which the minister is
so proud are the result of irrigation. Hav-
ing put his hand to the pillow. he asserts
that he would not turn back for any con-
sideration.-New York Herald.

MINERS WOULD COMPROMISE
Walker and Lewis, in Summing UP
Their sides, Both Make More
Moderate StatementA.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. ia compro-
mise seemed to be the aim Of the speakers
In today's session Of the special Interna-
tional Convention OF United Mine Workers
President Lewis in summing up his side Of
the case, did not assert that the Illinois
strike should not be endorsed and Presl-
dent John Walker of Illinois admitted that
he believed the members of the interna-
tional executive board acted in good faith
in forming the so-called compromise agree
ment which was submitted to Illinois
When Lewis took up his defense this at
ternoon, tumult ruled. John Mitchell rose
to quiet the tide, but Lewis resented the
assumption on the part of Mitchell and
said:
