PAT CASEY'S PRAYER
Fred Bassett has brought us anot

Fred Bassett has brought us anoth-
er good one. 1t follows:
An Irish soldier, after eight months
of hard, active service, applied for a
furlough. His request was granted,
and then 1t dawned on him that he
had no money to take advantage of
his holiday. He wanted 500 to 60 to
Paris. He was at his wits end, there
being no time to be lost when he re-
membered his old mothers advice to
apply to the good God above in the
time of trouble. So he wrote and
posted this letter:
Dear Lord: Here I'm after fight
in ten months in mud up to me neck
The work is somewhat unpleasant, but
we'll be glad to hear killed fifty
Germans. Now, Tam little tired and
| have me furlough all right, but
have no money left, having spent most
of what | had for prayer books. Ask
Tom Mccarthy If you don't believe
me. So, Lord, ask we in the name
Of all the Saints for the small sum of
500. Sure yell never miss it, and if
We send me the money, I'll never for
get yer in my prayers, and will pay
we back as soon as we get to Berlin.
Yours truly,
Pat Casey"
In due course this appeal reached
the censor's office, which happened in
this Particular locality to be housed
in the Y. NJ. C. A. quarters. The let
ter was passed around and aroused
considerable attention and interest, as
Casey was known to be very brave
and cheerful fighter.
CONSTITUTIONS were sought and fin
ally the sum of $50 was raised This
was sent to the applicant. without
comment, in Y. NJ C. a. envelope.
The next day the following ackncwl-
edgement was received:
Dear Lord; received your $50 as
per application for furloueh money.
and l. thank We. May yer shadow
never grow less. But | make so bold
as to give We word of warnin'. Send
the next money by the Knights Of Co.
lumbus. We sent the last by the Y. NJ.
C. A., and the Protestants nipped half
of it.
Yours truly,

charge Of stealing an automobile in

purchasing a quantity OF cigars, in
formed him that he forgot he had no
money but had a certified check. This,
he said, he would get cashed at a
friends place down the street. Kazza,
anxious 10 make a sale, offered 10 cash
the check which was drawn to the or
der Of Charles J. Allen on a Newton, N.
j.. bank, which was apparently certi-
fed. The check for S5965 was after
wards returned as worthless.

ferTed against him at this time, but Han
kin, Kazza and others who have testified
against the youth are positive that he
is the man who passed the checks on
them.
