FLOOD OF COUNTER FEET DOLLARS IN
 LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Sept. For several weeks there has been a flood of counterfeit silver dollars in Little Rock. It has been estimated by dec tectives that there has been probably 500 put into circulation. There is not a bank that has detected some of the bougus coin. There appears to be two counterfeit issues. One is dated 1889, and is most excellent one, with al most true color, weight and ring. It a most dangerous counterfeit, since. it is so readily accepted. The other is dated 1879, and is very poor. It is made of lead, and has dead ring. A counterfeit $20 gold coin has also been found. It is believed that the counterfeits are made not far from Little Rock.

Baldwin, the Bowery thug and gang
ster.
On certain Sunday afternoons
Lucky conducts religious services IN
the Bridewell, and the prisoners listen
as they never listened to preaching
before. Some of the men have robbed
with this preacher from coast to
coast: some of them have fought with
him and can see the scars they put
upon his face; all know him by repu-
tation. They know that above all else,
as a pal he was right" and they are
forced to believe that as preacher he
is right" too.
The preacher on his part knows
these men many of them personally.
He knows the stride In which they
think, he knows the rhythm OF their
lives. and he skilfully turns the story
of the Prodigal Son or the CrucifiXiol
account by John into that weird
underworld lingo and drops 1t into the
minds Of these prisoners.
Every morning when the prison
doors open for those whose time is up
Lucky Baldwin is there to meet them

right they will need a job. Lucky out
of slender resources does his best 90
help them all. He does not preach
now in words; he loves them ,n ac'
tions. and invites them to come 81

Sometimes the nightly audionc"
discouragingly small, but Lu'kys
cheerful optimism and his ready mile
never fail. His stocky figure is well
muscled and symmetrical. He looks
like an athlete. He has plenty o'
magnetism. His sermons are never
dull. They offer a humble mans IN
depreciation TO other humble ht.un''
broken men such as he once WIS.
Lucky's vocabulary still needs m
proving, but that does not worry him
a particle. If he has no word he
makes one and you understand him.

"peacify" for pacify and "rend''odSe

and saw that he needed friendinG. He
made himself own brother to the out
cast. For days on end he had him
take both luncheon and dinner with
him.
Lucky found employment as a
helper in Bellevue Hospital and when
ever opportunity offered among the
thirteen hundred patients as well As
among the employees Lucky told the
story" and 1t was impossible that be-
tween his zeal and his temper he
should escape trouble.
After five months service Lucky
left the hospital. 1t was about this
time that he got one night into a
Bible class conducted by DIR, A. r.
Schaufiler for the benefit of Bible
school teachers and heard him read
portion of a chapter from the Bible.
The idea of what this process was
suddenly rent the mind of the cropping
man like an explosion. He dashed
out OF the place and ran most OF the
way to the mission. arriving there so
excited and breathless that he could
hardly tell what allied him.

fellow was driving at until a cool
minded Scotchman, looking with n
sort of mild disgust on Lucky's near
hysteria, proclaimed oracularly:
"Hoot, mon! l ken what ye're speer-
in at. lt'll be the third o. Acts, we
ignorant loon, ye! The story o. Peter
and John healin' the lame man at the
beautiful gate o. the temple
They got him a Bible and found him
the place Unable to read a word,
knowing only his letters and them un-
certainly, Lucky shut himself up in
his room for seven days, crawling ont
only when hunger drove him. At the
end of that time he had taught HIM
self to read by spelling out painfully
over and over again the letters of that
scene which had so marvellously
gripped his imagination. Couture up
their surprise had the Alabama
Sheriff or the San Francisco deputies
come upon the stubby forefinger Of
Lucky weaving its way to and fro
across this almost WORKOUT page OF
the Bible!
This learning to read marked the
first real breaking OF light into the
mind Of the man. His testimonies at
