Shields grocery store on Fifth ave
nue.. Their case is to come up for
bearing Thursday afternoon and in the
meantime they are being held in the
county Jail in default of bail amount
ing to $500 each. The two, in com
pany with third party, went to the
Shields store at 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and Terrill presented a IS
bill to the cashier and asked TO have
it changed. A money holder similar
tc those seen at banks is used by the
Young lady cashier and it is located
near her window. After taking the bill
from the negro, she had occasion to
turn her back a moment and upon
looking around again, she was sure
she saw the negros hand just leaving
the money holder.
SII Is MISSING.
Although she became suspicious,
she hesitated making d charge against
Terrill until she was sure and she set
to work at once to hastily strike 4
balance. This showed TINT she was
short $1111. She notified Mr..
Shields While they were talking il
ever, Terrill walked into the store

LOVE-.

Love is ice,
And love is fire:
Love is fretting
And desire,
'Tis a gold brick
And a fortune,
And a bit of
Good and bad:
Love is guaged by
What you tell her,
Love is life
Within a cellar,
Or existence
In a mansion
With her mother,
And her dad;
Though we feel it
And conceal il,
Though We give it
Or we steal it,
Love is just a
Pool of gIadness
In which mortals
All dispoTt,
And the lawyers
Lift She cover
That discloses
Every lover
When she sues for
Alimony
And your notes are
Read in court.

GREAT CRICKETER DEAD.
DR.. e. M. Grace Had Played For More
Than Sixty Years.

Dr.. e. M. Grace Had Played For More
Than Sixty Years.
DR.. Edward Mills Grace the oldest
brother of the famous family OF crick-
eters, passed away a couple Of weeks
ago at his home in Gloucestershire,
England, at the age of seventy. He
played cricket for more than sixty
years, and to be in sport for that
length of time and to be great in ones
day is distinction earned by very
few men, He began to play the game
when he was ten years of age, and it
has been computed that during his ca
reer he scored 76,7O5 runs and took
1859 wickets in match play.
He was born in 1S41 and played his
first match of note in the month of Au-
gust. 1855. when he made one Of the
team from West Worcestershire that
met and defeated the All England
eleven. In the early sixties he was at
his best. and notably in 1853 he took
part in fifty matches and obtained an
aggregate of 3,O74 runs. In those days
his bowling was as effective as his hit
ting With George PARIS team he WIS.,
tied Australia in 1863 and 1864 and
was the whole feature of the trip. No
man of his style had up to that time
been seen In Australia.
1t was singular that while he was
away in the land Of the Southern Cross
his younger brother. DR.. w. G.. Grace,
had begun to earn fame. Another
Grace. the sporting world said. and the
greatest of the trio, the other broth
er, Fred. died some years ago, but DR..
w. G. is still in the land of the living.
Although feeble and very weak on
his legs. DR.. z. NJ. played little last
summer, but he scored only nine runs.
1t is recorded that he fell down ex-
hausted more than once in trying to
score. He loved the game and played
it just as long as he could. Along with
his ability as cricketer DR.. Grace was
a good shot and all round sportsman.

By a peculiar coincidence the last

this spot thirty seven years ago. Its

For years this grove served as a

appearance. They struck across coun-
try to ask the girls If they had seen
any one, but before the men reached
them they had disappeared Not
dreaming that one Of the girls was a
man and the man they wanted. they
did not make a search. In the even
ing reports came in at the cabin from
the different parties that Jim Green
had not been found.
Eliza's mother told OF her daughters
disappearance She told. too, of the
taking of the only other dress the girl
owned and the sunbonnet. Some
freshly baked corn pone also was
missing. Then for the first time arose
in the minds Of her family a suspi-
cion that the two girls seen during
the search had something to do with
the fugitive, Jim Green.
The mystery was not cleared up TIL
a week later, when a note mailed
from a town north of the Ohio river
was received from Eliza confessing
that she had helped Green to escape
and that she was now his wife. She
also Informed her people that it was
Horace Green. a boy of seventeen. and
uOI WHO SHOt dOShihSs
Horace was beyond their reach, Jim
was beyond their reach, and Eliza was
Jim'S wife.
There was a consultation among the
Hoskins faction. at which the situa-
ton was discussed. Considerable feel
ing-that is, for participants In a feud
was manifested at their escape from
having killed the wrong man. Indeed.
there was more to make them asham-
ed Of their work in this than regret
at the successful fight Of both the
Green brothers. But the browning
influence was Eliza's keeping them
from shooting an innocent man. After
a long discussion that was extended
over many days all were brought into
an agreement to drop the feud and in
vite the fugitives to return. The in
vitation was accepted, and the feud
ended.
Mrs. Jim Green became a tower of
feminine strength among both parties,

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN NEPOMUCEN.

ST. John was born, in answer to
prayer, A. D. 1880, of poor parents, at
Nepomuc in Bohemia. In gratitude
they consecrated him to God; and his
holy life as priest led to his appoint
ment as chaplain to the court of the
Emperor Wenceslas, where he con-
verted numbers by his preaching and
example. Amongst those who sought
his advice was the Empress, who suf-
fered much from her husbands I'M
founded jealousy. st. John taught her
to bear her cross with joy; but her
piety only incensed the Emperor, and
he tried to extort her confessions from
the Saint He threw st. John into a
dungeon, but gained nothing; then in
viting him to his palace, he promised
him riches if he would yield, and
threatened death if he refused. The
Saint was silent. He was racked and
burnt with torches; but no words,
save Jesus and Mary, fell from his
lips. At last he was set free and
spent his time in preaching and pre-
pairing for the death he knew was at
hand On the eve of Ascension, May
16, Wenceslas, after a final and fruit.
less attempt to move his constancy
ordered him to be cast into the river;
and that night the martyrs hands and
feet were bound, and he was thrown
from the bridge of Prague. AS he died
a heavenly light shining on the water
revealed the place where his body was
and it was buried with the honours
due to a Saint. A few years later
Wenceslas was deposed by his own
subjects, and died an impenitent and
miserable death.
In 1918 the Calvinist and Hussite
soldiers of the Protestant Elector
Frederick, tried repeatedly to demolis1
the shrine of st. John at Prague. Each
attempt was miraculous1y frustrated
and once the persons engaged in the
acrilege-amongst whom was an Eng
1ishman-were killed on the spot. In
1920 the imperial troops recovered the
town by a victory which was ascribed
to the Saints intercession, as he was
seen on the eve of the battle, radiant
with glory, guarding the cathedral

RESBYTERIAN ORGAN AND THE
BLESSED MOTHER.

The Mother of Jesus.-"Is this a
startling subject for an editorial or a
sermon in a Protestant newspaper or
pulpit" asks the editor of the United
Presbyterian, in an article on the
Blessed Virgin appearing in that paper
a short time ago. Yes, brother, re-
marks the Ave Maria, it certainly is
startling, especially so as regards
Presbyterians; and we venture to say
that no Presbyterian person in reading
your editorial was more startled than
ourselves. To us it was like hearing
the rattle of dry bones; for we well
remember to have seen some years
ago, in Presbyterian catechism, re-
ference to the Mother of Our Lord so
horribly opprobrious as to excite won
der how any ordinary decent person
could have penned it. But-thank
God!-times have changed, and Pres
byterians have changed with them.
Witness these passages of the editorial
in question:
6. We set before our
selves for examples the virtues of
other Bible characters. We study the
character and extol the virtues of the
disciples, prophets, saints, and early
Christians. Sermons are filled with
references to Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary (the mother of Zebedee' s
children), Simon's wife's mother, and
many other women; but the mother OF
Jesus is almost ignored in more that
one Protestant pulpit. Surely
there is no reason why we should re-
fuse or neglect to honor her who was
and is blessed among women"
THAT which makes her character
great is her faith, shown in her meek.
ness, humility, quietness, fidelity, ODE.
dience, and love. All these
things, and His death itself, did not
triumph over her faith. We find heI
in the upper room, with those who
trusted Him, just after His Ascension
She must have heard Peters sermon
on the Day of Pentecost, and witnessed
the wonderful ingathering that fol
lowed; and that must have gone far tC
heal tue hurt in her heart. She was
the incarnation of all that is pure anC
sweet in womandhood and motherhood
Blessed is she that believed Blessed
also are We that believe"
There is more of the article thai
might be quoted, but it would be com
monplace to Catholic readers. We con
graduate the editor of the United
/ Presbyterian on his courage in publish
ing such an article; and we hope tha'
as the years go by he and all his
brethren will grow in grace ant
knowledge of Our Lord and Saviour,
and in generation for His Virgin
Mother, who prophesied of herself
j Behold, from henceforth all genera
tons shall call me blessed
