WAS NOT A BEGCAR.
And He Spurned Streeter's Penny to
the Street.

Kent Raub of the county clerks
office was walking down Kansas ave-
nue. yesterday with a friend. The
friend, whose name is Streeter, is
charitably disposed. Three beggars
wera encountered singly and each
of them Streeter gave a small coin
In front of Hubbards seed store he
espied man topping over in a chair
One knee was cooked up. An arm
was across the knee and the mans
face rested on this arm The hand
was extended. Streeter stopped, dug
into his pocket and drew forth a
penny, which he slipped into the hand
which was partially closed and so
had to be opened by Streeter.
The act of opening that hand
aroused the man. He raised his head.

rubbed his eyes, looked at the penny
in his hand and then looked at
Streeter, and was mad, hopping,
raging. fighting mad.
What do you take me for?' he
shouted at Streeter, f1inging the PEN
ny into the gutter.
Streeter still misunderstood and
tried to sooth the man.
That's all right, old boy. If you
do not like pennies, I will raise the
anti. Here's a nickel
But the man instead of being ap-
peased, was even more angry. Sud-
denly it dawned on Streeter that a
horrible mistake had been made. The
man was no beggar at all. He was
merely taking a siesta and uncon-
sciously had extended his hand.
Streeter did not tarry.

PREACHER IN TROUBLE.
Held Conference With Married Wom-
an in Hotel-Husband Objected.

Great Bend, Kan, Sept. 25.-While
trying to help a distressed member o.
his congregation, Rev. o. NJ. Hanon
pastor of the Methodist church at Jet
more, found himself in very trying
and embarrassing predicament al
Great Bend.
There had been some domestic
trouble in the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Bowman, one of the families in Rev
lannon's flock. Mrs. Bowman had con-
suited her pastor, and the latter, with
a view of aiding the distressed wom-
an, accompanied her to Great Bend
They arrived there and spent the
day at the Barton hotel. There, 1T is
alleged, the pastor was indiScreet, for
he registered under another name,
that of A c.. Gingrich of Marshall,
Mo. Mrs. Bowman was not regis
tered.
That evening they were having a
conference in the room assigned to
Rev. Hanon when Mr.. Bowman, the
woman's husband, arrived. He was
considerably excited, and threatened
to break down the door, but was ad-
mitted without any violence being
necessary.
The three had a heated converse
ton, as a result of which Mrs. Bow
man left with her husband. Later
the minister departed from the hotef
also, it is alleged, through a window.
Mr.. Bowman hunted up the sheriff
and demanded that the minister be
arrested. The sheriff located Rev.
Hanon after midnight and kept him
until morning, but Bowman finally de-
cided to prefer no charges and no
warrant was issued
Rev. Hanon explained that it was
al an embarrassing misunderstood
ing. Bowman and his wife had for
merly been married to other parties,
and later divorced. Then, after they
had married and lived together for
several years they found a defect il
the divorce papers.
They had gone to Great Bend, he
said, to consult with Judge Lobdel1,
who was judge at the time the di-
vorce was granted, to get that divorce
matter Strengthened up, and then he
was to remarry Mr.. and Mrs. Bow
man, performing a lawful ceremony.
1t was being done secretly, he said, so
the children would know nothing
of it

men began congregating at the little
hamlet of Springdale. Threats were

Worst Damaged Crops.

Great Bend, Kan, June 6.-A heavy
rain fell here last night and this morn
ing and it is still raining. The rain
