Sure enough, on the top of a pile
of rocks appeared Pika the Cony
Hare. Tinker Bob called to him,
and in answer to the Kings call
Pika hurried to his side.
Where have you been all Of these
days?" asked Tinker. eve haven't
seen you in the forest for long
time-not since the snow came"
"Eh-eh, Eh-eh," said Pika in a
sort of barking way. "I've been busy
gathering food all fall, and then
when the snow came l had to stay
in my home on the side of the noun
tain"
"You have such funny voice,
Pika," said Tinker Bob, as he seat
ed himself on a rock near by, "Why
do you talk and bark way down in
your throat?"
"Eh-eh," barked Pika. 81 do that
so my enemies will not know where
| am. 1t sounds each time in a diff
! ferent place"
What have you been gathering to
eat this winter?" asked Tinker Bob.
"Eh-eh. gather clover and vines
and flowers of various kinds and let
them dry in the sun to cure them,
then | pile them up close to the door
of my house where can get at it
easily all winter"
"But why do you live so high up
on the mountain side?" asked Tinker.
"Eh-eh. l live up where the
Mountain Goat lives, far up on the
mountain crest because I don't have
so many enemies up there. Only now
and then the Bob Cat comes along,
and he nearly scares me to death.
And then there is the Great Weasel
he is a treacherous fellow and has
caught many of my brothers and
sisters. You see he will go right in
to their home and either drive them
out or kill them end suck their
blood"
Does the hunter ever harm your"
asker Tinker, as he stroked Pika on
the sack.
"Eh-Eh, the Hunter sets many
traps and l heard him say one day
that Cony fur was worth good bit
in the markets of the city. All of us
are afraid Of the Hunter"
Just then Mr.. Weasel the Great
came along and Pika began to bark
furiously because Plea knew that
Mr., Weasel was a Vicious enemy.

PRINCETON, Mo-, Jan. 14.-On
the living room ceiling in Morg Don
elson's farmhouse, six miles north
of Princeton, there is a white spot
about as large as the palms of your
two hands which looks as if it had
been freshly scrubbed with soap and
water.
That spot is all that remains of the
Miracle Picture" which dashed this
community into a religious frenzy
two weeks ago and brought more
than FIVE thousand persons on pill
grimage from all over this county
and far up into Iowa.
Whatever it was, the picture is
gone, but Donelson, well-to-do farm
er and cattle raiser, still spends much
of his time sitting in the living room
with an open Bible across his knees,
alternately reading scripture and gaz-
ing toward the ceiling. He believes
firmly that the queer little pattern
which he discovered in the smoke
and dust above the gas lamp the
night of December 10, and which
disappeared" three days later, was
picture of his dead wif@and baby,
drawn by a supernatural hand.
Wife and Baby Died in October.
Here are the facts. Donelson's
wife died in premature child birth
October g. She and the little baby
were buried in the same casket. DON
elson says she had predicted the date
of her death almost year before.
The night of December 10, two
months and a half after his wife's
death, Donelson was sitting in his
living room reading his Bible. He
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-01-14

says:
Suddenly l heard voice just as
plain as dav saying, 'Morg, look up
I looked and the house seemed to
open up; saw the forms of my dead
wife and little baby coming down out
of the sky. My father was sitting
across the room and he noticed my
ewes bullying and the strange express
sion on my face. He came over
where was sitting and he, too, look
ed up. | said to him, Pa, what do
YOU sees and he said to me, 'Morg,
what do you see,' and then l said,
pa, it's Annie and the baby.
NV mother was in the room, and
she saw it, too The children came
down from upstairs and they saw the
picture right off. Theodore, who is
Is wears old, said he could see right
down through the ceiling from up
stairs. Joe said, It's mamma come
down to take US away with her.
Rosie, the little girl, she saw it, too
Picture Only Three Inches Long
The picture, Donelson says, was
about two and half or three inches
long and not quite as wide. 1t was
family traced. There were the out
lines of the upper part of a casket
and lying inside were the indistinct
figures of woman and a baby. Don
elson says he could clearly recognize
his wife, the way her hair was part
ed and the expression on her face
He says he could even tell how the
undertaken had arranged her head
in the casket, and how he had drap-
ed cloth over the baby's face 1t

right there in the yard But Donel-
sons prayers prevailed.
Examined it With a Microscope.
The picture" remained ON the
ceiling about ninety hours from the
time Donelson first discovered it 20
the time he rubbed it with soap and
water and prayed. In that period
perhaps five thousand persons saw it.
One man placed two chairs together
and Ell lied up where he could ex-
anime it with microscope. He tried
to scratch it with his finger nail and
couldn't seem to make an 'n7rcs-
sion on it. He tried to make similar
marks in the ceiling nearby, but fail
ed. He made a minute examination
of it and later drew it from memory.
He says there was some kind of
picture there, but he hesitates to
give an opinion as to its origin.
The intelligent people of Mercer
county are inclined to believe that
Donelson was sincere enough in his
picture miracle" but most of them
are of the opinion that it was moth
ing more than religious hallucina-
ton. Donelson is a devout member
of the Apostolic church, sometimes
called the Church of Christ, Assembly
of God, and more often referred to
by outsiders as the Holy Roller
sect.
This is not the first time that Mer-
Ger county has been amazed by the
strange religious manifestations of
the Apostolic church. A few years
ago they built large white church
about a mile and half northwest Of
Donelson's home. Revival meetings
were held and many converts were
obtained. Then along came an itin-
Grant preacher from Texas and the
church divided into two factions.
Church Divided on Eating Pork.
From the pulpit Sunday after Sun
day he denounced the drinking OF
coffee and the eating 70 pork as
practices of the devil Many of the
congregation took alarm at his words
and revised their meals accordingly
Others took decided stand against
the Texas preacher. They didn't
mind his views on coffee and pork so
much, but what they did mind was
his being so friendly with some of
the women of the congregation.
The battle ragged. Finally the itin-
Grant pastor announced one Sunday
that he had received a message that
the spiritual food administrator had
lifted the ban on hog meat and coffee,
and they could now be eaten and
drunk with impunity. But that didn't
satisfy the other faction. The desir-
ed to know about his relations with
certain women.
The preacher finally confessed his
sin and about the same time passed
on to some other field of activity.
The two factions got together and de-
clded that the church building had
been the scene of so much turmoil
and sin that it was clearly possessed
of the devil. So they procured ham
mers, nails and some planks and
boarded up the doors and windows.
For several months services were
held in private homes and nobody
went near the devils church"
Then, when a sufficient time had
elapsed to permit the church to be
cleansed of all sin, the congregation
pried off the boards and resumed wor-
ship there.
