A good many years ago the writer
hereof met Homer {. Stuntz in Cali
fornia. Three weeks ago he met him
again. but the bishop as he is now, did
not look the same as ), the former
cay.
Three weeks OF puzzling over the
problem his brought out the fact that
it is not any added dignity which his
responsible posiis n as over-pastor OF
more than quarter OF million
Methodists in Omaha area has given
him which has made the change, but
because sometime In the past he has
discarded the meat and natty Van
Dyke beard which used to adorn his
chin.
The previous existence Of this
beard is probably deep. dark. dank
secret which the good bishop would
desire unpublished, but when one
starts to sketch the career OF man
who has attained some degree of en-
inence it is necessary to probe deeply
into just such tender memories.
There is no getting away from it..
He used to have that beard. and it
gave him fierce, Castillan look, quite
in contrast to the genial. smiling ex-
preston which is so we'll known to
everyone in Omaha.
A Dreamer Back of the Beard.
This story starts, however. long
time before the beard arrived. II dates
back to nearly a half century ago
when a small boy, he used to climb the
taIlest trees on the highest hill on
his fathers homestead in the corner
of Pennsylvania which touches the
lake, and used to gaze cut over the
water, and dream of other lakes in far
away lands which he hoped some day
10 see, and of strange peoples whose
lives he would some day touch help
fully. How that dream came true is
part of this sketch.
The lad, whose father was a sur
veyor and farmer, passed through
the grade schools. and the local acad-
emy< at his home town OF Albion, and
then attended the state normal. He
did not expect to make teaching his
life work, but he thought it might be
u stepping stone to the attainment
OF what at that time came to be the
ambition of his young manhood, to be
a lawyer.
Educated in Law and Theology.
Young Stuntz spent,his spare time
in the study Of law. In 1879 he moved
to Iowa, teaching and studying law.
He was never admitted to practice,
but a kindly Judge allowed him to

How He Came to Omaha.

How He Came to Omaha.
In 1912 DR.. Stuntz was elected
bishop. He choose South America
as his field, remaining until 1916,
when at the request of the ministers
of the Omats area he was assigned
here. This, Bishop Stuntz considers
the highest compliment he ever re-
ceived, that the men who knew him
best should have desired him as their
presiding bishop. "Perhaps they are
not so enthusiastic now" rem&ked
the bishop, with twinkle in his eye,
"since | have had to assign them to
their pastorates."
Bishop Stuntz has two enthusiasms,
South America and the Mississippi
Valley. South America to him is
marvellous, in resources and in posi-
bilities. He believes it will show the
most remarkable growth within the
next century that the world has ever
seen. And It needs, he believes, all the
aid of every sort that the United
States can give.
His Faith-in the Middle West.
The middle west, in WHICH Bishop
Stuntz has spent so large a part of
his life, he considers the very heart
of America. There is no other equal
amount of land in which civilization
has so nearly approximated the ideal
of the Kingdom of God" he said.
These broad spaces seem to have de-
veloped a people who have frmer
grip on the realities of life than any
other people. In spite of the faults
which are found here the middle west
contains all the fine qualities of new
puritanism upon which the future of
the land will be built"
Bishop and Mrs. Stuntz will start
Monday on pilgrimage to China and
india, which will last for seven
months. The bishop goes to the aid
of Bishop Bashford of India and
Bishop John K. Robinson of China,
both of whom have broken down from
overwork.
He will hold number of confer.
ences, and will have general supervis-
ion of the work during this time. IT
may be he will again visit Naini Tai
and catch some more of those 27-inch
trout. And-who knows?-he may
grow that fierce Van Dyke again.

ISLAND QUARANTINE
 WILL NOT BE LIFTED FOR
 SEVERAL DAYS YET

DOUGLAS, Nov. 27. Mayor Elmer E. Smith stated this morning that the quarantine regulations for Doug las Island would be strictly observed for at least the remainder of this week and possibly longer, depending on the increase or decrease of the epidemic This action was determined upon at a meeting of the Island Board of Health last night.
 Rumors were circulated about town last night that the quarantine would probably be lifted by Thanksgiving Day, but owing to case of influenza having been reported at Treadwell yesterday and another among some Russian Finn residents this morning it was decided by the health commit. tee to be most unwise to lift the quarantine at the present time.

PURE GOLD FOUND IN BALKANS IN
 BEDS OF CREEKS
The Mountains Are Rich in Minerals, and Soldiers Washed Gold from
 the Streams.

ROME, Nov. 27.-"The mineral de posits in the Balkans are of such ex' tent that the Serbs, Bulgarians, Greeks, and Rumanians, may make the peninsula immensely rich after the war if they quit fighting and set tie down to business" said the Rev Francis Jager, of Minneapolis, who spent eight months with the Allied armies doing American Red Cross work.
 "Why, the principal pastime of a lot of the French soldiers there was washing out the gold from the river bottoms. The mountains are rich in coal, copper, zinc, lead, gold, silver iron, and oil This is particularly true of the territory claimed by the Serbs Last winter the soldiers about Monastir kept themselves warm by digging coal. saw one group Of soldiers dig holes two feet down and strike a siX-inoh vein of coal and on digging further down they struck vein which did not give out after depth of Is fleet.
 ''In going among the poor families of the country I frequently found them in possession of pieces of al most pure gold. They told me they had picked it up out of the beds of nearby streams"

MARRIED MEN
 WILL BE FIRST
 TO BE RELEASED
Great Britain Plans to Give Soldiers Special Facili ties to Get Hold
 of Land.

LONDON, ...ov. 27.-Married men and those who have seen long ser vice in the British armies will receive first consideration in the demobiliza- tion of British fighting forces, says Dr. Christopher Addison, minister of reconstruction. Pivotal men, Ee said. would come back early.
 The demob!lization, said the min ister, should be so conducted that millions of men in the navy and army would have an early opportunity of employment. Accordingly plan ar ranged on industrial requirements had been prepared.
 As men are demobilized they will be re-employed in the various indus tries from which they were witL, drawn to enter the army. There will be special facilities giving access to the land. said Dr. Addison. Gardens or larger plots will be provided.
 Councils composed of employers and workingmen have been organized in 40 or 50 different trades. Already these bodies are removing sources of irritation and bringing a spirit of solidarity, better spirit then pre- vailed under former agreements. said the minister.
 In as much as the necessity for producing as much food as. possible will not end with the war, Dr. Addi- son said he believed some control over the use of the land would con tinue to be exercised by the govern ment. Great Britain should manufac- ture nitrates for manures on a large scale.
 The minister declared that unless care was exercised there would be 3 great deal of speculation while the 1emobilization of the army was in progress and prices might advance to the great detriment of industry.
