$SO, 600 Church Freed OF Debt.

Those who read the life of George
Muller, the man who did great things
by faith and prayer in England, mar
veled, yet there are many others
who are doing equally great things
in the same manner.
When Rev. @. G.. Leatherman went
to Manchester in 1916 there was d
debt of about $1,000 on the newly
built Emanuel Lutheran church which
had just been dedicated. An Adult
Mems Bible Glass was organized,
soon growing to membership of
more than one hundred. Activities
in every department Of the church,
including increased attendance at
each service, were soon in evidence.
January 1, 1919. found the debt re-
duced to $500, and the interest.
The pastor made an earnest plea to
have the debt cancelled on Easter
Sunday, never once doubling but that
it could be done. On Friday evening
at IL p. m, the pastor was called to
the telephone when a telegram was
transferred to him coming from
Lebanan, Pa, which read as follows:
Count on me for 100 bones.''
When the total offering was count
ed on Easter Sunday evening, it
amounted to $4,95OOO plus the pledges
and money yet to come from outside
sources which will cancel the debt
and interest.

YOUNG GIRL SLAIN IN
AUTO BY ESCORT.
POLICE DESCRIBE CRIME AS MOST BRU-
tai IN HISTORY or new YORK.

That Mrs. Alice c. Allen, SO years
old, wife of Bradley @. Allen, and
mother OF seven children; Mrs. Annie
r. Sloates, so years old, and Thomas
@. Smyth, As years old, were slain
Saturday night by a pistol supposedly
i'm the hand of Joseph r. Englehart,
AZ years old, operator of clay bank
two miles from Laurel, Md, who was
found half dead in a clump OF woods
by a posse early Sunday morning, was
the decision Of q jury. Englehart
died at the University Hospital, Bal
timore, from supposed self-inficted
pistol wound in the head. The bodies
of Mrs. Sloates and Smyth were found
late Saturday night in the kitchen OF
the S1oates home and the body of
Mrs. Allen, who had gone earlier in
the evening to the Sloates home, was
found i'm a path about a mile from
her home early Sunday morning.
The most convincing testimony
offered at the inquest was that of
Charles Englehart, brother Of the
supposed slayer, who testified that he
had met his brother in Baltimore
Saturday afternoon, that his brother
had believed that "a party near Jes-
sup" had put spell" over him and
that he was going to seek the advice
Of fortune-tel1er. Two hours later
the brother said, he saw EngIehart
and was told by the latter that ''the
next time you see me it will De in
sorrow"

1923, HE HAS A son 1O3
Veteran OF 1872 Upsets Pretensions
OF Another Aged Gent OF wv. Ya.

(Bluefeld, w. Va, Dispatch in the
New York Journal)
Claiming to be 1913 years old, a sol
der of the War of 1912 and cabin boy
for Sir John Franklin on his first
Polar expedition, John Drysdale of
Jettsville, Greenbrier county, amazed
Blueield folk with his stories while
on a recent visit.
The aged man was agitated over
newspaper reports to the effect that
Levi Bond OF Lost Creek, aged 103,
was West Virginia's oldest citizen,
"Why, II have q son that DID," de-
clared Drysdale, "and l had fought
through one war before that fellow
Bond was born
Drysdale said he was born in scot
land, which country he left when z
years old, to come to America. Be
coming o sailor when but lad, he
said he led seafaring life for rs
year, in the course of which he visit
ed every port in the world.
He told a thrilling tale Of Polar
expedition, during which, he said. his
ship was ice-bound for a year, never
sighting land during that time.
Drysdale attributes his many years
to the salt sea breezes, although he
came from a long-lived ancestry, his
father, he said, living to be 120 years
old.
Among his children, he declared
he has son i'm Scotland more than
hundred years old, while another
| son i'm Canada was 81.

A Poor Player.

a. Grantland Rice tells the story,
certain English actor, whom we
may safely call Jones-BroWn, plays
persistent but horrible game of
golf. During a recent visit to this
country the actor in question oc-
casionally visited the links Of a well
known country club i'm Westminster
county, near New York.
!. After IN especially miserable show
ing OF happiness one morning, he
flung down his driver in disgust.
"Caddie," he said, addressing the
silent youth who stood alongside,
'that was awful bad, wasn't it?'
Purity bad, sir" stated the boy.
IT freely confess that 7 am the
worst golfer In the world" con-
tinued the actor.
"Oh. # wouldn't say that, sir"
said the caddie soothingly.
Did You ever see a worse player
than T ann"
No. sir, T never did," confessed
the boy, truthfully, Hbut some Oh the
other boys was tellin' me yistiddy
about gentleman that must b. al
worse player than they are They
said his name was ones-Brown.

THE HEART BOWED DOWN
Only One Thing Could Save the Sym
Dathetic MagnatA.

OF two boys born in a country
town in Iowa, one went to Chicago
and became very rich and the other
stayed at home, and when he was
sixty was very poor. The stay-at-
home had heard of the success OF his
boyhood friend and he went I'D to
Chicago to see him one day, thinking
to obtain a loan to tide him over the
winter. He went to the rich ones
Office, found him installed In a mag
nificent suite and was held up by an
office-boy i'm livery.
"Just tell my old friend that Bill,
the friend Of his boyhood days, il
outside and wants to talk over old
times with him"
"Howdy, Bill" said the millionaire,
II am glad to see you"
They talked for time and then
the visitor remarked: IT hear you
are worth millions"
yes, I'm pretty rich; and how has
the world treated you?"
"Oh, I've had terrible time. I
had business, but lost that a while
ago. You see, my wife's father died,
and her mother, and then we lost
our daughter. Right on the heels OF
that my mother died and, soon after,
my father. Tit was tough.
The millionaire took out hand
kerchief and wiped his eyes. Tt
certainly was" he commented.
YES" continued the visitor, "and
that wasn't the worst or IL. Early
the next spring my boy, on whom I
had set % many hopes, he died. too;
and then, with all that expense, r.
lost my business paying doclors'
bills. Then, to close it all UP, 1T
wasn't six months before my faithful
wife died, and was left all alone"
The millionaire was sobbing by this
time. He leaned over and touched a
button on his desk, and big porter
came in.
"Jim," said the millionaire, throw
this man out. He's breaking my
heart"

Ed Rlepfer OF the Indians and Eppa
Rixey OF the Philies to point out the
force of the statement. There are others
who went to war and lost much OF
their baseball punch. but the foregoing
are sufficiently prominent to Offset the
few Instances in which the service i'm
proved the ball players who had made
good before the war
As for the youngsters developed by
camp sporting activities. there are few
OF them. The White Sox have one In
Jack Sullivan, the left handed splitter.
who got a training trip only to be dis
carded and then taken back when some
OF the veterans of Kid Gleasons stan
fell down.
1t has been claimed that lack OF
baseball practice Is the chief cause OF
the deterioration of athletes who served
their country. With them the base
ball they played while In service was
negligible compared to the other work
they did. But lack OF practice did not
affect Cicotte or Williams of the White
Sox, nor was II responsible for the
major league demise Of Benz and Reb
Russell Of the same team.
Reason Unknown.
The real reason nobody seems to know.
but there Is the fact that camp or naval
| training put q serious crimp In the
pitching stafs Of both the Cubs and
White Sox through inability OF Alexan-
der and Faber to come across with their
old time effectiveness, II may be that
the hard work OF drilling Slapped the
strength and vitality OF the athletes who
partook OF Il. thereby shortening their
diamond careers measurably. It may
be that exposure led TO something akin
to rheumatism, yet not the real thing,
Take the case OF Alexander While in
France he was seldom dry rs to clothing
and at one time had hardly a dry stitch
OF clothing on his anatomy for fourteen
days. This exposure In his case did not
lead to anything serious Never did he
have a cold or threat of pneumonia.
Never since returning has he felt a
twinge of rheumatism. :,though he
frankly admits he expected to encounter
that disease after what he went through.
In no way does Alexander the Great
attribute the lameness that has kept
him from pitching more than a few
games In over 4 month to any OF his
overseas experience, but perhaps II will
develop later on that what he went
through over there is responsible for
the depreciation OF one OF the supposedly
greatest assets OF the Chicago Cubs
