When the lay preachers arrived and

When the men, some Of them desperate

for policemen to warn worshipers to
take their children home to prevent them
from being injured.
Expresses Regret.
Mrs. John f. Davis, wife Of one Of the
preachers at the Gospel Mission. said to-
day that she regretted that the adver-
tisement appeared and that 1t never
would have been inserted had the mission
workers foreseen the outcome.
I'VE thought 1t would just give little
harmless publicity to our work in the
cause Of Christianity she said. ''but the
result was astounding. We had no idea
hundreds of men would answer the adj

Cincinnati.-Frank Heiber and Jo-
seph Lechner Of Pittsburg, both aged
fifteen, who started out to see the
world few days ago. were found

ever, their money soon gave out and
they were forced to sleep anywhere

Heiber said his father died last
March, and that his mother Is very
sick. He doesn't know why he left
her. The officials will send them
both home. Heiber has written the
following injunction to all youths:
"Boys-Never leave home. It is

does not care for butterfly, life, So

The other day she received tele-
gram from her husband, which read:

the wealthy mother Of her husband.
she invited friends to dinner, saying
she was going to celebrate new and
better era In her life, which the for
tune of her mother-in-law would bring.
Some Of the more sensitive guests re-
belled inwardly at the idea, but the
dinner went on. Next day the hostess
sent apologies to her guests, saying
1t was not her mother-in-law who had
died, but her own mother. The mis-
take arose by her husband merely re-
peating cablegram received for her
at Nice.

hands was clasped firmly in hers.
With regularity he popped his
lips upon hers and each kiss was SO
vigorous as to be. audible. In few
minutes the news spread throughout
the resort. Swimming pools and walk
ing paths were deserted and scores of
persons nocked to points Of vantage.
In reply to jeers the young man
cried: "You fellows are only jealous.
Don't you wish 1t were you?" The
enraptured pair remained absorbed in
one another until 1t was time to take
the steamer back to St. Louis. The
girl was brunette about % years
old and was prettily dressed. The
man seemed few years older.
