and walked out as he had entered
alone
For thirteen years Rainsford, as rec
.or of st. Georges church, had without
question been the most important min
lister of any faith in New York. One
day, without fOrewOrd or explanation.
he resigned. His friends said that he
was in ill health. Hard on the heels OF
that statement, Rainsford left for a
hunting trip through East Africa, a
task that would tax the strength and
endurance of any man. From time to
time he has returned to outfit for an
other expedition. Now he is to head a
party sent out by the American Muse
um of Natural History and will spend
three more years in African jungies,
He is strong as a bull moose, he
tingles with nervous force, he could
run in Marathon or fight in the ring
and he can keep his secret. What
ever it is, 1t is his alone. No one has
ever shared it.
Rainsford had attracted attention in
Toronto by the virility and splendor
and unconventionality of his ministry.
Old st. Georges church in New York
was about to be abandoned, when j.
Pierpont Morgan sent for Rainsford to
rejuvenate it. Other eminent minis
ters had refused the task.
81 will take it," said Rainsford, "on
three conditions. The church must be
1hCO1ntn1U h11u nI1f
those pewholders who will not surren-
der their seats must have $4,000
year to spend as | please, apart
from my salary, which you may fix to
suit yourself All committees save
that of the vestry must be abolished" !"
Done" said Morgan.
The church had been burdened with
floating debt. 1t was spiritually
dead Rainsford left it the livest wire
of the diocese, with an endowment of
100000, and had raised $2,500,000 for
it's support. He went into the back
cruits to his classes. Until they
learned that the rector could fight as
well as he could pray, there was a
fight every Sunday Rainsford always
won. He charmed the poor girls away
from the vile dance halls by opening
dancing floor in the parish house
and danced with them himself An
apostle of the poor, and almost So
cialist in his personal views, he made
ST Georges the largest parish in the
country with a membership of more
than five thousand. It's social centers
are the busiest on the east side The
intellectuals from university and slum
gathered to hear him preach.
Then-one day-he walked out
From that day he has elected to be
stern and silent and self-centered-a
determined exile from his home No
one knows why. Behind that protec-
tive shell of silence is there a trag
edy concealed?

L|NGERS IN MEMORY
One Mans UnforgetabIe Meeting
With Rather.
Dead" Snakeship Seemed Worthy
Prize, But He Has Never Re-
gretted the Caution of His
Travelling Companion.

The day was warm, very warm, and
the horses toiled up the sun baked,
dusty Blue Ridge mountain road. Up.
up we went by slow degrees, every
fresh winding of the road disclosing
new and more beautiful panoramas of
valleys, farm strewn and river bisect-
ed, and distant hills, and yet farther
distant valleys and misty mountains
in the background cloud crowned and
sun besprinkled.
And so We slowly approached the
summit. AS We rounded bend in
the road We saw stretched out as
straight as a piece of string dead
rattler and annexed to it's tail splen-
did string of rattles The snake had
not long been dead, for his skin was
certainly in prime condition, and the
beauty of that diamond marked scaly
covering made into a belt or cut up
into purses was apparent. But l was
more interested in the buttons that
give out the dread warning that sets
a man looking in 20 different direc
tiOnS at once.
impetuosity, | reached for my jack
knife and made to spring out upon
the ground; but my older companion
realizing the delay that would surely
follow and appreciating the snaips
pace at which we were travelling, put
his veto upon any diversion or delay.
The snake was very much dead, would
not run away, would be there when
We returned; the dead chestnut along
side the road would mark the spot
and with a g'lang to the horses we
kept going and left the snake behind
But certainly those buttons were
fine ones, and would grace any ones
den, and as we were delayed at our
destination on the mountain top. | re-
gretted that had not taken that rat
tier and bringing it along, skinned it.
So in due time we returned, and at
last came to the dead chestnut tree,
and We looked for and did not find our
rattler. Some one, no doubt, had come
that way appreciative of a fine snake
skin or needing rattlesnake oil for
rheumatism, and had carried his
snakeship away. His markings in the
dust were plainly seen, and as I
jumped from the rig and looked lit
tie more closely at the spot where
he lay so very dead 1 could plainly see
where the snake after enjoying his
sunbath, had crawled into the bushes
and gone down the mountain side.
1t has always been matter of snake
painting with me when l imagined my
jumping from the rig alongside that
very much alive snake, Of his coiling
and striking like a flash, of the mad
rush to town for whisky, and the town
ten miles away. Well, | am not
pleased over the painting, yet the pic
ture comes like panorama before my
eyes every time l see a diamond
backed rattler in a zoo or even see a
picture of a rattler in a book. I'm
knowingly, this was a case of allow
ing sleeping rattler to lie.

night and portion of today in this city,
comforting with State Chairman s. w.
Walker. While Mr.. Thompson will not

on special occasions. Beginning with
Thursday. however. he will speak from
that time until the close of the campaign,
every day, and sometimes twice day.
His opening speech will be made in
Boone county. From there he will go
the following day to Clay county. and a
tour of the central counties of the
state will follow.
Mr.. Thompson expressed himself to
pleased with the outlook for Democratic
success this year. and with conditions as
he had found them in different counties
he has visited.

A Candid Statement Of The Opportunity That
| Contronts The Democrats Of The County.
| The Wilson, Marshall and Brown Club,
of Charles Town through duly chosen
committee, solicits contributions IN aid
of the Democratic party S national ticket.
The money raised by the committee will
go direct to the national committee for
use wherever 1t is needed throughout the
union.
| Every contribution made to this COM
mttee will be publicly acknowledged
and forwarded to the national commit
tee. with the name and address of the
giver, to whom receipt will be returned
by the proper authority of the national
committee. These receipts will be n
the form of handsomely printed certifi-
Gates that every Contributor will want to
keep.
There is to be no secrecy about the
collections or expenditure of money rails
ed to finance the campaign of Wilson and
Marshall; nothing didden during the
campaign and nothing that will require
excuse or explanation afterwards.
Wilson and Marshall are the candidates
of the people, chosen by the people as
the leaders in the great national move
ment to restore the government to the
people to whom it belongs, but from
whom it had been surreptitously taken by
the beneiciaries of Special Privilege and
their agents and partners in the govern
ment. in and out of Congress.
AS this is the peoples campaign. the
people are and ought to be as willing as
they are able to see that it does not suf-
fer for need of money to pay all proper
expenses and there will be none that are
not proper.
In supporting Wilson and Marshall the
people are working to restore the nation
al government to the peoples own rep
resentatlves, who, to be the peoples real
representatives, must be elected without
incufring any obligation that will bind
them to any special interest. They must
depend upon the people for support.
The people maintain our government.
1t should be administered for them and
IN their interest. Ii each Individual will
do his part in making proper selections
he will help to make it absolutely certain
that he will live under free government;
government of the people. by the people
for the people; instead of government of
the people, by the trusts and monopolies
for the trusts and monopolies.
The CLUB therefore frankly appeals to
every Democrat in Jefferson county to-
ntribute to the fund to pay the legit-
mate expenses of the campaign carried
on for the sake Of the whole nation.
Let every Democrat and every inde-
pendent who favors the election of VIII
