spite his frantic efforts TO do so. This
is the story as Nick Kelley tells it.
Starts For Home
TsurkgilIos had been living with
friends in Canton. but had been sent
to New York to take boat for his
own home in Greece. lie has a fam
lily of several small children near
Athens. That John could speak no
English was not considered an OBJ
staCle to his safe journey because he
was provided with a proper ticket and
tag stating his destination. At Pitts
burgh, however, he missed connections
and wandered about there helpless un-
til taken in and fed for few days
by some Roumanians. Then they sent
him on his way again.
Wanders in Mountains
The traveller got as far as Harris
burg, helpless. hungry and nearly mad
with fright at his condition; he started
to Walk-westwardly.
Somewhere in the mountains near
Rockville he became lost and wan
dered about for days. The story of
that vain effort to find his way home
isn't exactly nice, according to Nick
Kelley's story. John Tsurkgillos wan
dered about in the snow and for food
dug up the fallen, half-rotted apples
from under the snow.
When he got lack to Harrisburg he
was ragged, unshaven, unkempt his
feet frozen, weak from loss of food.
Nobody could understand him; folks
laughed and thought him crazy.
1t was at Third and Walnut streets
that the story reached its climax. The
pretty girl awaiting a car was half
frightened out of her wits when John
moaning something she couldn't un-
dcrstand, dropped on his knees before
her and raised his clasped hands in
supplication.
The Prayer of Tsurkgillos
y policeman was Immediately at
hand and with crowd following, John
was hustled to Jail. Efforts to have
a lunacy commission appointed failed
because Warden Caldwell thought the
case ought to be further investigated.
He tried every kind of an interpreter
he could think, Macedonian, Bulgar-
ian, Servian. German, Russian-but
John couldn't make himself under
stood. Finally someone suggested
Nick Kelley. And Nick Kelley eN-
planned the story in such a thorough
way that John was helped home.
But why did he kneel before the
girl in the street," Nick Kelley was
asked.
Why" said Nick Kelley. my
friend. John, had had nothing to eat,
he said, for four days and he was
nearly crazy with hunger. The lady
was well dressed and John thought
her rich. And when he knelt-he was
praying for food"

From Hair or Fuzz
(Toilet Tips)

The method here suggested for the
removal of superfluous hair is quick
and certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, a single applica-

with some powdered delatone and wa
ter; apply this to the hairy surface
and after about minutes rub it off,
wash the skin and the hairs are gone
To avoid disappointment, be sure your

We could not get along without our
mothers. They are the dearest friends

them with respect and always obey
them. When we are sick the greatest
nurse we have is mother; she watches

Children without mothers. mics them
a great deal. Often they do not know
how to appreciate them, until it Is too
late, Mothers do so many things that
no other person would do for u.s. They
teach us about God. and explain things
to us that we do not understand.
No one takes the same interest in
us. as our mothers.
When our mother die, we feel that
we have lost our dearest friends.
A mothers love Is the most un-
selfish love In the world. A Christian
mother can have such a great in
fIuence over her children. especially
over her boys.
Some of our greatest men. were
made great by the early training of
their mothers. When we are small
we long for the dogs to come when we
will be grown. After we are grown
up. we will look hack. and think of
we were watched over by mothers
loving care. We ought to copy moth
er's ways, so that we will grow more
like her each day.
We ought to help our mothers all
we can. and when they are old and
feeble we ought to be that much
more loving and kind to them.
On Mothers Day we wear white
carnations in honor OF our mothers.
