BY GEORGE BANCROFT GRIFFITH
devoted to the itinerancy, and true, loyal
Methodist, plain, pointed. and sharp in all
his preaching and exhortations.
He had been laboring a year on one of his
circuits, and. before leaving for his new
field, he gave his people his farewell sermon.
At the close he said:
MY dear BRETHREN this is my last address
to you. | am going from you, and you may
never hear the voice of James Moore again.
Amen" came loudly from the seat be-
fore him.
He looked at the man with little sur
prise; but, thinking it was a mistake, went
on. My days on earth will soon be num-
bered. am an old man, and you may not
only never hear the voice of James Moore,
but never see his face again
Amen" was shouted from the same seat,
more vigorously than before.
There was no mistaking the design now.
The preacher looked at the man. He knew
him to be a hard, grinding man, stingy and
dress, MAY the Lord bless all those of you
who have done your duty, who have hon
ored Him with your substance, who have
been kind to the poor and pausing and
looking the intruder straight in the eye, and
pointing to him with his finger, may His
curse rest on those who have cheated the
Lord and ground the poor under their heels.
Say amen to that, BrOther..
He was not interrupted again.
TT was the Rev. Rowland Hills habit to
L ride to church in an old family carriage
a practice too ariStOcratIc, in the Judgment of
one of his flock, who determined to rebuke it.
1t was customary in his chapel for notes to be
sent to the pulpit, requesting prayers for
various objects; and, one Sabbath Hill was
proceeding with the reading of these re-
quests as usual, when he found himself in the
midst of one to the following purport:
PRAYERS are requested for the Rev. Mr..
Hill, that he may be more humble and like
his Divine Master, who, instead of riding in
a carriage, was content to be borne on an
ass
Having read the notice, he lifted the spec
tacles to his forehead and, looking round the
house, observed that it was quite true he had
been guilty of the fault alleged; but if the
writer would step around to the vestry door
after service, sadded and bridled, he would
have no objection to ride home, after his
Masters example, on the back of an ass.
OLIVER MALLARD, Cordelier, one of
~ the preachers to Louis XI. of France,
was one OF those early divines who acted on
Horace's maxim that jest may sometimes
do duty for sermon. He was as bold, how
ever, as he was humorous, and launched his
bitter jests against women of high degree,
judges on the bench, and even Louis him
self, with as much earnestness as point.
A courtier told him the King threatened
to have him thrown into the Seine.
"Tell his Majesty" said Mallard, "that
even then l shall get to heaven by water
sooner than he will with all his post horses. "
The establishment of posts through
France was just then the Kings favorite
project, and Louis was broad minded enough
to laugh and forgive him.
Evening star., 1912-09-22

WIHEN the march of pulpit oratory and
w humor was less advanced than at pres
ent, number of pious parishioners resolved
to compliment their beloved pastor with a
horse After a great deal of scraping to-
:-ether and gathering up, they accumulated
funds sufficient to purchase saddle, which
was forthwith despatched to the minister,
with an intimation that the horse would be
sent at more convenient season.
Week after week, however, passed on, and
no word of the minister's nag. This dilator
ness would never do, thought the reverend
gentleman, and accordingly one Sunday
afternoon he took occasion to introduce the
subject, in winding up laundering discourse
on the unspeakable loveliness of charity.
"Now, my friends" said the preacher,
g if that said horse be ma n1pplng grass yont
by at the manse in a day or twa. ken what
I'll do!"
Here the minister smote the pulpit in a
manner that made the hearts of the congre
cation melt within them like wax, while he,
stern man, continued his appeal to their
pecuniary feelings so long, and repeated the
fearful threat, ' ken what I'll do!' SO often
that one doughty hearer could suppress his
alarm no longer.
"And what wull you do, Sir?" he asked.
why, man" said the minister coolly.
"I'1l Just sell the saddle
THE REV. MIR. WALKER of Connect
cut, saw his friend, the Rev. Mr.. Read,
sitting in one of the pews on a Sunday morn
ing, and leaving the pulpit, went to Read
and urged him to preach for him. Read
begged off, as he was providentlally detained
in town over the Sabbath, and had no prep
aration with him. But Walker was press
ing, and at length his friend yielded to his
importantly and entered the pulpit. But he
had no text, and after some reflection
pitched upon Job III" Then Satan an
swered the Lord, and said, From going to
and fro in the earth, and from walking up
and down in it.
From this passage he drew the doctrine,
and announced it boldly, that the devil was
a great Walker. He rung the changes on the
name of his friend till the people signihed
their notice by general smile.
Walker took the pulpit in the afternoon,
taking for his text Matthew XI IA reed
shaken with the wind y "The doctrine of the
text" he said, is the instability of Reads. ;"
On this theme he discoursed till Read wished
that he had never ventured his wit in the
pulpit at the expense of his friend Walker.
THE late Drs. Osgood and Vermilye of
1 Massachusetts, were quite unlike; the
former being rough and unpolished, and the
latter the reverse. Having exchanged pull
pits one Sabbath morning, in the afternoon
DR.. Osgood said to his people:
"You have heard the silver trumpet: now
l shall give you blast from the old rams

ACCIDENT CHANGES
MANS WHOLE LIFE
After Seven Years of New Mental
! Existence Lapse of Memory
+ Comes Again.

PITTSBURGH, May Exchanged by
an accident so greatly that he could not
recognize family or friends or recall
events of the fifty years of his life. Sam
uel Edleman has now. after seven years
Of the new mental existence, been
switched back to the first by paraIytic
stroke, and the seven-year period is as
greatly a blank as had been his first
fifty years.
He has resumed at fifty-seven the
trend of events as he knew them at
nifty, and keeps his family busy telling
him what manner of a man he was dur
ing the intervening years.
Bdlernan, after the accident, did not
recognize his wife. his half-grown chill
dfer, or his friends. He knew nothing
OF his trade and nothing of the city IN
which he was born. But his mind was
easily trained a second time, and his
physical efficiency aided.
Then came a slight stroke of paralysis.
Edieman. who had been hurt seven
years before in the winter time, sat up
suddenly and demanded to know what
had caused the change from such ex-
treme cold to the beautiful spring day.
Soon friends of his earlier days came
in, summoned by Mrs. Edleman, and he
recognized them instantly, but when a
man with whom he had worked for
two years entered Edleman did not
know him.

Broadway Sits
Up When Evelyn's J
Story Leaks Out

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Although the
announcement that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
10 here with a son twenty-one months
old came from sources known to be in
constant touch with her, it was impos-
sible early today to get a direct con-
firmation from Mrs Evelyn Thaw, her
self. Her whereabouts was not made
known, though It was asserted that she
was here.
The announcement that she had deter
mined to demand payment Of checks

Broadway has not sustained In years.
The story was given out in such detail
and published here in such elaborate
fashion that the whole town was stirred
| by the sensation.
We Then from Pittsburgh came the fiat
statement of Roger O'Mara, for years d
private detective Of the Thaws, that the
| story was not true. The fact that the
existence of the boy should have been
concealed for twenty-one months was
linexplicable to many persons familiar
with the Thaw family. 1t Is asserted
that Evelyn Thaw, II she had brought
into the world an heir to the Thaw mil
| lions, must have been moved by most
extraordinary motives to have kept tho
child's birth secret for so long.
In its multifarious features the an
nour1cement of the presence of the child

length, with the pictures Of the famous

Man Who Tried to Emulate
Brodie Gets Into
Trouble.

NEW YORK, May 13-These are GER
tainly hard times for the Ancient Order
of Bridge Jumpers, for the public has
lost it's interest in the performance, and
anyone who initiates Steve Brodie's al
legged feat nowadays Is more apt TO be
sent for safekeeping to a cell, then given
undying fame and chance TO ex-
hibit himself. At least this Is what
happened to Charles MacfaNane,
chauffeur. twenty-seven years old, who
jumped off Brooklyn bridge last Tues
day and was picked up by the crew OF
a passing tugboat.
Steve Brodie who, so he always as
serted in the face Of doubters, took his
famous jump in 1886, elevated the jump
ing Of bridges to an honorable profess
sion, and made a fortune in taking
dares and collecting the half dollars at
museum ticket offices. 1t certainly is a
come-down from that day when the first
great bridge jumper was pulled ashore
to undying fame to the present day fate
of Macfarlane. He was sent first to
Gouverneur Hospital, where the doctors
patched him up and rested him up. NO
body took much interest in the brief
stories printed about his jump. Yester-
day morning the public had forgotten
that he ever jumped, and when he was
al ra1Rne0 IN the lOnlpS DOilCe court
Magistrate Krotel had to be told what
II was that he had done that was out
Of the ordinary.
The prisoner looked woebegone, the
upper face being discolored with the
force with which it had struck the
water. When questioned he said that
he had a wife and three children and
that his home life was happy. He was
very sure that he had had no idea of
suicide when he jumped from the bridge.
and could offer no suggestion as to why
he did II, unless It was that he had met
a lot of friends Monday and had drunk
TO excess.
Magistrate Krotel isn't awed by
bridge jumping feats, and he placed
Macfarlane under $500 bonds for six
months to keep the peace. A friend OF
Macfarlane came forward with a deed
to real estate, but the magistrate would
not even look at 1t till today. when the
bondsman will again appear.
1T would make oP Steve Brodie turn
over in his grave to see the way they
put it over a poor bridge jumper in this
day and generation. said a Boweryite
who shuffled out of court disconsolately
after Macfarlane had been taken back
to wait for his bail. They don't have
no respect for nothing nowadays"

Brenton F. Boggs, Who
Threatened Girl, Says He
Did Not Intend to Kill.

Brenton F. Boggs accused Of threat
ening the life OF Miss Clemency Gutth-
ridge, was removed this afternoon from
the Second precinct police station to
the Washington Asylum Hospital,
where his sanity will be studied. If
physicians declare him of sound mind
he will be brought back to United states
branch OF Police Court for preliminary
heafng. Miss Gutthridge, whose fran
tic appeal to the police last night re-
suited In Boggs' arrest, was In court
this morning, but her testimony was
omitted when the mother of the de-
fendant asked Judge A. r. Mullowney to
have her sons sanity tested.
Miss Gutthridge came to court saying
that II was not so much a threat to
slay her that made her appeal to the
police as that she was angry at Boggs'
deception of her about a previous mar
riage. Boggs today denied all intent
to kill.
Boggs says he was just frightening

Boggs love affairs have been a con-
slant source of trouble to his mother,
Mrs. F. f. Boggs, of s3l French street
northwest, according to a statement
made today.
Yesterday Carl n. Thomas, who says
he is a stepbrother OF the complaining
witness. telephoned her that Boggs had
repeated his threats on her life, and
was coming last night to carry them
out. Later Boggs called the girl, 1t Is
| claimed. over the telephone and repeated
| the threats. Miss Gutthridge reported
| the case to the Second precinct and
, Policeman Hughlett, in citizens clothes,
met Boggs as he was going UP to the
| steps of the house. The officer placed
! Boggs under arrest, and at the station
! house a revolver fully loaded and letters
| Of farewell were found in the prisoner s
| pockets. The letters were addressed to
| Miss Gutthridge's mother. his own
mother, and others.

| Miss Gutthridge still insists she will
