safely said that these only form

preachers have as much with whic:
to contend as working men, In fac
in many cases they have mucf

on starvation salaries.
The late Henry Ward Bcecher in hi
younger days, was stationed IN {

4 salary which barely furnished Inn
and his wife the necessities OF life
In his memoirs he tells Of being COM
PEELED to do the family washing while
his better half was i'll and in bed. II
it is a fact that certain church digni-
tarics recently sat down to a dinner /:

Those who may take the trouble tc
examine the lives of certain preach

DR.. StarneS Took
Beating To Save
Playing Fingers

He did not fight back nor dare use
his fists on George f. LeMarche be-
cause he feared that he might injure
his hands and thereby destroy much
of his ability as an organist.
Dr. Percy H. Starnes, city organ
list, whose encounter with LaMarche
in the Auditorium last Saturday night
provided lively gossip throughout the
city, gave this novel explanation Mon
day afternoon before a crowded court
rom where LaMarche was being heard
on the charge of assault and battery.
LaMarche was placed under $500
bond to appear for trial in the State
court. DR. Starnes and LaMarche
were the only witnesses in the un-
usual case. Each made a dignifled
and courteous statement before Re
corder Broyles. LaMarche said that
it was not because DR.. Starnes had
reported him for alleged neglect OF
duty that he attacked the dis
tinguished musician. II was because
he said, Starnes had spoken roughly
over the telephone TO Mrs. LaMarche
Il accused DR.. Starnes of this last
Saturday when I was at the Audi
torium." said LaMarche. He called
me a liar. Then he went in to conduct
the rehearsal. I thought the matter
over for an hour. l did not want to
do anything uHgentlemanly, but after
thinking it over l concluded that the
only thing for me TO do was to thrash
him"
During the melee, DR. Starnes kept
his precious hands well protected
Each finger is worth thousands OF
dollars to him, he says.

these TO the public.
The elder marquis managed to sep
