which meant success to him and his
enterprise, meant extra work and con-
finement for her. The larger the
crowd, the greater the percentage Of
accidents to be reckoned with at the
hospital, Added to this. the list OF
fireworks accidents would be sufficient
to keep indoors a few extra nurses.
The crowds began early to troop
to the island by boat. train, trolley
and motor, and the young proprietor
of the new scenic railway watched
his ticket agent busily handing out
admissions to the platform. He
walked about the premises with q
gratified smile and saw one after an.
other OF his miniature cars disappear
down the steep incline and into the
mysterious cave beyond. Then he
saw them emerge, breathless and
Laughing. The spirit of the day and
the place was in them.
The white streets were fairly alive
by early afternoon and all concessions
were being patronized TO their capac-
ity. Children dashed torpedo fires
works to the pavements; lads shot
punches of firecrackers; girls waved
flags and footed horns and all drank
lemonade, ate peanuts and had them
selves weighed. The gala Fourth was
being celebrated in way. TO stir the
blood of the forefathers who helped to
make II day renowned.
But--Allan Donaldson, inventor,
owner of one of the best patronized
amusements In the village, felt utterly
alone--and lonely, There was no one
with whom he felt at home. He could
see not one familiar face in the vast
throng. He almost longed for the
good old Fourths back In the small
Ohio town where his father had taught
him how to handle fireworks.
Suddenly, he heard the changing OF
a bell He saw the crowds on the
street separate. The ambulance was
approaching; it's rubber-tired wheels
whirled over the hot pavements.

trance a small boy was struggling
with an obstinate fire cracker from
which he had lost the fuse. He had
broken 1t open, boy-like, to see II there
was powder inside. Then. with his bit
of punk, he was intent upon making a
''fizzer" when the ambulance, swerving
as quickly as possible to one side to
avoid him, passed over his hand.
Allan jumped quickly to his side
and gathered the screaming lad to his
shoulder, telling the surgeon On the
back of the ambulance to drive on,

Read the Beatitudes.

If every man and woman Of fair under
standing and open mind would read every
Sunday morning the fifth chapter of Mat
thew, which is the sermon on the mount,
containing the beattudes, this world
would be happier than it is. One need
not stop to discuss the doctrine of it, but
lust let the sweet spirit of 1t get into his
life. as he let the view Of fine landscape,
or a glorious sunset, or the heavens filled
with stars, get into his soul, and it will
put him in harmony with the all-pervad-
ing truth that ruleth all things, and will
spread vision before HIM that he never
saw before.
There is the best truth in the universe;
better than one will find in the sciences,
the arts, the PHILOSOPHERS, the histories
and a truth that one does not have to
struggle 10 get. but which comes to him
as freely as the light goes into his eyes:
All he has to do is TO open his eyes and
there it is. If that fair gospel would get
into the hearts of men, this world would
be transformed in its culture, its religion,
its politics, its social service, and the nine
blessings therein named would shed
radiance over all human experience.
Read it every Sunday before breakfast.

j. Roger McSherry to Pay Less
AlimOny.

By decree handed down on Oct. 2Ist.
Judges Motter and Peter have added an
other chapter to the martial difficulties of
J.. Roger McSherry, formerly of this city,
now living in Chicago. Under the decree
Mr.. McSherry has secured modification
of the decree pertaining to alimony he is
TO pay his former wife, and is also given
the right to see his children three times
each year.
On June 30, 1909, Judge Motter passed
a decree requiring ]. Roger McSherry to
pay his divorced wife 500 per month for
the support of herself and children. J..
Roger McSherry appealed from this de
cision and carried the case to the Mary
land Court of Appeals, but the decree of
Judge Motter was sustained.
Later Mr.. McSherry filed a petition
in court here asking that the decree be
modified He stated in his bill of par
ticulars. that he was not earning S., 600
per year as alleged, but was earning only
SIo5 per month, and was not able to com
ply with the terms of the decree He
also asked that the decree of separation
be modified, so that he might have the
privilege of seeing his children.
Testimony was taken and the case
argued, and on July rs, 1911, Judges Mot
ter and Peter rendered an opinion releas-
ing McSherry from all claims for alimony
in arrears. amounting to s.. 400, provided
he would pay to his divorced wife, the
sum of $3.50 The money was paid.
On Saturday Judges Motter and Uner
handed down an opinion which disposed
of the petition of Mr.. McSherry for a
modification of the terms of the 1909 de-
cree. In the decree of Saturday, the
court says, Owing to the defendant S
financial condition, we think there should
be a reduction in the amount Mr.. Nc
Sherry should pay his former wife, and
he should be accorded the privilege of
seeing his children"
The decree then states that Mr.. Nc
Sherry shall pay the sum of $50 per month
to his former wife for the support of her
self and their children, the paying of the
alimony to begin from July 1, 1911. and
the sum of $50 be paid every month.
The decree also states that Mr.. McSherry
shall have the privilege of seeing his
children three times each year, and these
times are named. They ire the week be-
tween Christmas and New Year, the week
succeeding Easter. and some week in
Iuly. Mr.. McSherry is required to give
his former wife two DAYS notice of his
desire to see the children, and shall be
allowed the right to see them at some
place in Baltimore city, and shall not take
them outside Maryland. The decree
states that Mr.. McSherry's right to see
his children is upon condition that they
shall not be brought into contact with his
present wife.
In the proceedings, Messrs. Urner and
Urner represented Mrs. McSherry, and
Stoner and Weinberg appeared for Mr..
McSherry.
