EPITAPH CAUSES PROTEST

Protests are being made by resi-. dents of Worthwhile, Pa, against the shaft at the head of the grave of Sam uel McCracken. because the inscrip- ton reads:
 If politicians and priests all go to heaven, then am bound to stop at some other station"
 Beside his grave is that of his wife. with headstone which reads: She died a firm believer in Christ, her Sa- viour"
 McCracken died in 1862 and made contract with tho cemetery owners that his tombstone should never be disturbed. A legal way to remove the shaft is being sought. because its in- scription Is considered sacrilegious. Many Revolutionary war soldiers are buried in the cemetery.

 Johnny God ran and brought help and the bodies of the two boys were unearthed.
 Then the bandits forgot all about ha,nr bandits. They are just httie boys again. very sad and very irisn'' ened.

He was threatened with punishment If he did not give up, but he seemed not to hear the warnings. He sat in his cell apparently quite happy till the never ceasing "Glory" song got on the nerves of the other prisoners, and he was removed to cell which sible. Still he kept on. It was thought he would stop when he got hungry But he did not. All through the night, all next day and next night he kept on singing, until at the end of forty eight hours he suddenly ceased and he was found lying on the floor of his cell in swoon.
 When, 12 hours later. he recovered in the prison inf1rmary, he had no recollection of having been singing at all All he said he could remember was that he seemed suddenly to lose his memory when sitting in the pris- on van and thought he had tainted. days was great surprise to him.

Summers Coming to America.

Johnny Summers, recent winner or the British welterweight champion ship. is the latest English ring celeb rity to contemplate an invasion of the United States.
 Undeterred by the recent untimely fate of his two cOmpatriots, Bombar- dier Wells and Sid Burns. Summers declares that he is ready and willing to teach the ''blawsted' Yankees how to take a joke and to prove that English fistic supremacy still is in the ascend ancy. in one division at least.
 Mike Gibbons and Ray Bronson are the two Americans that Summers is particularly eager to hook up with, but any good opponent that will draw the shekels will not be overlooked or turned down. The only advance ulti- matum that Summers makes is that the weight must be 147 pounds, the British scale.
 Summers will bear with him the Lord Lonsdale belt. emblematfc of the English weIter championship. The trophy was won by Summers on June 21 before the National Sporting club of London, when in the thirteenth round he sent his principal contender for the title.
