At this point Superintendent Gudgel,
for himself and on behalf of the boys,
thanked all the visitors and assured
them that their visit was greatly ap-
preciated and asked Mr.. Mayes to ex-
tend the thanks of the camp to Mrs
Armour for the gift of the Victroll

to interest and entertain the boys dur
ing the winter evenings.
Rev. VIM. Pepper was then called
and he complimented the boys most
highly for the splendid work they are
doing, and said they were doing work
of which they need not be ashamed and
which should and would be appreciated
by this and future generations.

MIDNIGHT MASS AT
ST.STEPAEN'S CHURCH

The midnight mass which was cele-
brated at st. Stephen s church by Rev.
Father Carrigan on Christmas eve was
very impressive and beautiful. The
church was elaborately decorated in
Christmas greens which were gathered
in the mountain and brought to the
church by Mr.. Thome. Red and white
carnations and calla lilies sent from
California were used profusely on the
affairs which were decorated by the
ladies' of the Altar society. A shower
of silver stars suspended from the cen
ter of the arch and from the chandeliers
was arranged by Miss May McReavy
and added beauty to the scene. The
crib is very beautiful and Inspiring and
is visited daily by many people.
Promptly at twelve O'Clock Father
Carrigan entered the sanctuary, pre-
ceded by ten sanctuary boys garbed in
white cassocks; then the servers and
two masters of ceremonies. "Rosewig's

The Senior day exercises given Ut

TAKES SUDDEN LEAVE

81 was a stranger and L took them
in' is the way the Rev.(D M. F.
Griffith, B. A., the dashing young
(alleged) minister from Wales, proba-
bly, parodied well known scriptural
statement, after he left Glenwood. At
all events it seems that such trans,
lation would have been justifiable in
view OF the young mans conduct dur.
ing his brief but swift career in this
city.
Coming here few weeks ago from
no one knows where, the young man
learned that the Presbyterian church
had been for some time without pas.
tor and he suggested that although he
was on his way to San Diego where he
had been assigned to an important
charge, he would not mind preaching n
few times for the good people Of Glen
wood in the absence of q stated supply.
The important position in California
did not appear to be so important that
he could not just as well stop here
awhile and try himself out at the rats
of $25 per Sunday. And then, too, he
was waiting for a draft which he had
ordered sent to him at Glenwood aud
which seemed to have gone astray in
the mail, perhaps owing to the Christ
mas rush.
The young man proved to be an in.
teresting speaker and the people sp-
parently made no inquiry as to his past
record or credentials. He lost no time
in calling on the business people and
making himself acquainted and recon-
mending himself Is preacher Of more
than common ability. He visited the
high school and sought An opportunity
to address the students and then told
stories that caused the teachers to look
The Glenwood post., 1916-12-30

down their noses while the students
fidgeted in their seats, and heaved
sighs of relief when he had concluded.
To one young lady he proposed an
elopement while others of the gentler
sex have confessed that he held hands
with them and whispered sweet, senti-
mental love phrases of nothingness un-
til invited to "move on and stop kid
ding" and this, too, in the face of the
fact that to some he claimed to have
a wife in the east while to others he
referred to his wife in San Diego,
whom he was soon to meet. Whether in
one of these instances he located his
spouse in the wrong place through mis-
take or whether we must infer that he
is a Mormon. the Post is not certain.
SO much for the social achievements
of the smooth stranger who insisted on
advertising himself on the picture
show screens as "The Dashing Young
Minister,' an appellation which was
perfect fit, except as to the last worl
in the phrase.
But it was as financier that this
young man excelled. All his other
achievements were tame in comparison
with his ability to lay up for himself
treasures on earth in the way of tho
long green, and various articles of
wearing apparel, without rendering an
equivalent in the aforesaid long green,
or anything else except jawbone.
In one store he purchased a travel
ing bag, pair of shoes and a suit of
clothes, in another a stickpin and
ring while in another he adorned him
self with an overcoat of latest style
and pattern, on the plea that "I'm
the new pastor and haven't yet re.
ceived my salary Notwithstanding
the fact that he was paid promptly
after each Sundays services. In one
store he sought credit for some Christ.

ry.' The hard hearted merchant re-
ferred him to George Edingor.
But with others his smooth words
were more convincing, and last satur-
day Mayor Thorson became aware that
from one person he had "borrowed
$3.50, from another $50, while another
had been touched by his hard luck
story and helped him out to the tune

before the fire had gained too much
headway?
Are our officers cognizant that booze,

miscuously throughout our fair city,

Let us pause for reply.
Misfortune seems to follow the Co.'S
tello family.
On July 4, 1914, Joe Costello, the
husband and father, lost his left hand
while celebrating the national day.
Some seven months ago he left his wife
and boys, going to Utah, there to beg
his way through life. He had not been
heard from up to few days ago, whom
he sent his wife 81 with which to buy
Christmas presents for the boys.

Mrs. Costello cannot understand how
the fire started as she is positive she

only conclusion is that one of the boys
arose after her departure and lighting
the candle, went back to bed leaving
it burning on the table, where it must
have burned down, ignitlng the table

lleved 20 be sufficient to show
that Csrranza sympathixers or
Officials probably will be held
responsible In both cases. Indica-
tons are that the Washington
government will stand on the re-
ports Of its own officers and
refute the assertions OF the Mex
lean government, officially pres
ented here that Americans were
the spqressors or that irrespon-
sible individuals precipitated the
clash. II was thought probable
tonight that President Wilson
would demand that Csrrsnzs
repudiate the acts and punish
those responsible.
MIR. Wilson and his cabinet dis
cussed the Mexican crisis fully
today. but pending the receipt OF
final reports on the ocoursnces
at Carrizsl and Mazatlsn, no
course could be mapped out. The
only announcement made after
the meeting was that the policy
OF the government was unchanged.
Further reports from General
Pershing were expected hourly.
Officers here believe that cavalry
reinforcements sent out as soon
as the runor Of the fight was
heard. must have Joined the
survivors by this time and should
reach some point along the Areri-
can lines in Mexico soon. Their
march will necessarily be slow as
they are undoubtedly incurnbered
by wounded.
Peaceful Solution.
New indications came today
that Caranza and his advisers, i'm
pressed by the arguments Of Eu-
ropean representatives or the ON
nous significance OF the prepare
tons for war ordered by President
Wilson were searching for a peace
full solution OF the dispute they
have raised. Eliseo Arredondo,
Mexican Ambassador Designate
made the rounds OF the Latin Am
erioan Embassies and legations
rnent that Mexican troops had no
aggressive purpose against the
American columns and would at
tack only II the Americans were
IN offensive. His advices did not
say what would be regarded as o.
tensiVe operations. In this con-
nection II was noted that the state
department has not yet obtained
conf nation through special agent
Rodgers OF reports that Carranxa
himself directed General Erevino
TO notify General Pershinu that
any movement Of his troops EXCEPT
toward the border would be re-
sisted. General Pershing's report
on the warning from TreVinoy was
transmitted 20 Mexico City some
days ago.
