mysteriously disappeared and up to
this afternoon his body had not been
found. 1t is feared he was captured
by shark.
Young Coffee and several other
boys, about 80 in number, have been
camping at Tybee. Coffee was an
excellent swimmer. While in SWIM

ty go out into deeper water. While
leading the way he suddenly disap-
peared beneath the water. The 9TH

ried ashore.
This is the fourth death at Tybee
this season. The affair recalls the
disappearance of a lad three years
ago near the spot where Coffee went
down. Later his dismemebered body
was found on the beach.

HELD FOR REVOLVING CRIME.
Attempted Assault by Atlanta Real
Estate Man on a Little Girl.

Atlanta, Aug. 2S.-G. E. Wester,
of $50 Lee street. we'll known busl-
ness man of this city, was arrested
in his office in one Of the down
town skyScrapers to-day, on the
charge of attempting to assault lit
tie 14-year-old girl who entered his
office to offer chewing gum for sale.
The affair caused quite stir, as
the child is we'll known in business
circles; she helps support widowed
mother, and is familiar figure.
According to the little girls story,
Wester seized her when she entered
his office, and tore her clothing be-
fore she could scream and break
away. Just as he was sitting her
screams, the girl says some one
knocked on the door of the Office,
and the interruption gave a chance
to run into another room. She i'm
mediately telephoned the police, and
Wester's arrest followed.
Wester denies the charges. He will
be arraigned for disorderly conduct
in the police court and afterward in
all probability be bound over to the
higher court on the more serious
charge. Wesler is a successful in
surance man, and we'll connected.

Claimed She Was Wife of Taft.

Columbus, o., Aug. 29.-A woman,
with two long. knives concealed in
her clothing, was awaiting the conf
ing of President Taft to his hotel here
this morning when arrested. She
gave her name as Caroline Beers, age
40, and said she was the presidents
wife.
The woman was found this morn
ing on one of the upper floors of the
hotel near an elevator. She was
rushed out before the presidential
party arrived.
1--WE a sacred knife for President
Taft" she exclaimed, probably re-
ferring to the long, keen bladed al
fair, upon the handle of which was a
photograph of the president.
She was we'll dressed and had two
hundred dollars. She says she re-
sides in Greenville, Ohio.
Taft publicly explained his exercise
of the veto power in his speech to a
great crowd of farmers at the State
fair grounds here to-day. He said the
president must use his veto when
conscience tells him to The presi-
dent told the farmers of the legisla-

The Church and the Young Farmer

What does the church offer the
Young man or the young woman Of
the farm to-day? In days gone by,
before the coming of automobiles on
the farm, of telephone, of rural free
delivery, the mules were hitched to
the "big wagon" straw was laid IN
the bottom for the youngsters and
seats placed for the grown-ups, and
the entire family went to church on
Sunday. Inviting discussion of the
matter, the Northwestern Christian
Advocate, Of Chicago, says: "Chang-
ing social conditions and the innova-
tions of improved farm machinery,
the introduction of the automobile,
rural free delivery of mail, the tele-
phone and other important innova-
tions have gradually forced the
church to ask, What must we do to
save ourselves from death?'" A
writer in the United Presbyterian
states that from 25 to 70 per
cent. of the farming population in the
prairie States neither belong to a
church nor attend one. He is not so
much concerned in the decline in
the number of churches as in the
proportion of the population that is
being reached. Another clergyman,
in the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, advances the argument that the
church should concern itself in the
recreation of it's people, saying that
the greatest need of rural life to-day
is play. 1t would seem that the So
luton of this problem would be in
the establishing of what are known
in the cities as institutional" or de
partmental" churches-churches pro-
viding not only the usual auditoriums
for religious worship but with suftici-
ent room and facilities for indoor rec
reation. The Northwestern Christian
Advocate states further: "Boys,
don't leave the farm because they
want to escape hard work. They are
equal to that, but because there is
nothing but work-hard work and no
fun. Farm life is strenuous now;
there are fewer workers larger re-
sponsibilities and more skill is re-
quired. All this exhausts energy

ton" To make the use of the recre-
alton facilities effective, the work
should have the direct personal su-
perivision of the clergyman and pick
ed laymen, and should be ministry
to the intellectual, physical, spiritu-
81 and social needs of the young peo-
pie of the neighborhood.- Church

The Passing of the Hanson.

How quickly the world changes
with the progress of invention is
suggested by the report that there
are now only about 400 hanson. cabs
in the streets Of London. Seven
years ago there were 1000. The last
maker of hansoms has closed his
shop, and one Of the cabs has been
placed in the new London museum.
The taXicab has ousted the hanson.
To those who knew the London of
former years the passing of the han
SONS will bring the question of what
has become of their drivers, who
were accustomed to sit high above
the crowded street, with whip deli
cately poised, skillfully, swiftly
threading streams of traffic. Though
the hanson driver seemed always
trying to tie up his horse, he had a
certain air of Importance by reason
of his elevation. The lowly taxica5
allows no such conspicuousness to its
chauffeur. Few of the hanson driv-
ers, it is said, have become chauf-
feurs; they were not the kind of men
needed for the work Many of them,
it is to be feared, were too old to
change to anything else, and their
