4 STRENUOUS PREACHER

Colonel KPegan, of Philadelphia,
whose residence was occupied by
the Rev. BILLY" Sunday during a
revival, says the property was dam
aged in the sum Of $I,754 and pre-
sents bill of particulars.
His allegations are, in part:
More than one hundred glasses
not window glasses were missing
Twenty whiskey glasses had been
removed from their original wrap
pings and were found in a telephone
closet.
Walls were gOuged.
Six doors were off their hinges
Three Wagonioads Of rubbish left
in the house and yard.
A five-foot jardinere smashed.
Leg broken off of heavy leather
chair in "BilDy's" bedroom.
One marble dog and big toe Of
marble girl missing.
Siiver-piated syrup jug gone.
Burns on piano keys, from cigar
cites, apparently.
HaviIand china, bath towels, nap
kinS, table covers, sheets, beer
glasses, hook glasses, champagne
glasses, fancy stems, one wicker
arm chair, embroidered scarfs, silk
curtains, missing.
Seats out Of thirty chairs.
1t is not conceivable that the
Ply sicaI rambuncliousnes5 Of the
evangelist, as evidenced by bis
athletic style of oratory, was re.
sponsbe for all this damage, ad-
mitting for the sake Of argument,
that Colonel Keegan's five or six
typewriter pages Of complaint are
true. 1t is possible that if furni-
ture was wrecked, tableware brok-
en-, linen swiped and marble dogs
and toes Of marble maidpns carried
away, guests Of the great man were
the evil-doers.
Without passing judgment upon
the case, which Colonel Keegen says
he will present in court in case the
Philadelphia promoters Of the re-
vivai will not settle cut Of court, it
may be said that Mr.. Sundays home
life must be the sort Of life that
would make a man look upon the
peace Of Eysian fields from altar
and hone for the same.

Bilious Attacks

When you have a bilious attack
YOUR liver fails to perform its func-
Dions. You become constipated.
The food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesLing. This
inAames the stomach and causes
