FOUND HOME PAPER IN

And Through 1t Peddler Learned That
Family He Had Known for Fiji
teen Years Were His Relatives.

Week." which is to be observed the
country over the week of November

not long ago." he went on.
Zone day there appeared in the
Plaindealer Office a short, stubby, ro-
bust man of probably sixty. / knew
the minute saw him that he had
come in from the big outdoors in some
section He told me that he had taken
the paper for many years, probably
forty, ever since he had left Canton,
where he was born. He told me where
/ would find the paper going, and
found it. His post office was in
little town way out in the Rockies. He
said he had come back to the old town
to live. He paid what he owed and
year over for good measure, and then
he sat down and knew something was
coming.
Forty Years in the Mountains.
"'Say, said he, newspapers are
great things. You can never tell what.
they are going to do for you. | have
been a peddler out in the mountains
for forty years, making my trips, me
and the little burro, about once In
six months. There were lot OF long
jumps between houses. For fifteen
years l had been going out of my
trail, about five miles to one side, to
sell to a family that had moved in.
You get rather well acquainted with
people If you see them once in-six
months for that long, so when got
there one afternoon and didn't find
anyone home-just the door unlocked,
as all doors were there-I went in and
made myself comfortable, and when
supper time came / didn't hesitate
about hunting around for grub. And
while was doing it / found copy
of the Plaindealer on the kitchen shelf,
and one or two more around the
iiouse-the Plaindealer, mind you, the
paper I was taking right from the
old home town! And / wondered who
these fifteen-year-old friends of mine
were. l suddenly realized we had
never talked over our pedigrees any.
"'When the family got home that

heard of her old uncle off stumbling
around in the rocks of the Rockies,
and / hadn't ever heard that any
one related to me had ever mar
ried and was out there living nnder
another name. Your paper introduced
US to each other. i just thought you
might like to know about it."

Response Was Pat.

The church buildings of Jefferson
vile are nearly all close to each other
In one precinct, known as the Church
precinct" Two of the churches In
this precinct occupy opposite corners
at one street intersection. Services
are held at the same hours, and the
passerby can often hear two congre-
cations singing simultaneously This
other day this is what happened:
From the open doors and windows
of one church floated cut the strains:
.'Will there be any stars in my
CROWN"
Like an echo there came from the
other church to the grinning outsider,

1t was little Dorothys first time to
attend Sunday school. Before leaving
the house her father gave her a penny

passed the collection envelope she fol-
lowed the example of the other chill
dren and deposited her penny. On her
return home her father asked:
Dorothy, did you give your penny
to Jesus?"

Clark Griffith is out of the city
on a brief scouting visit. but the
object of his mission is a mystery.
Among the healthy hitters yester-
day was "Blackie" O'Rourke, who
got a trio of safe ones. including a
double. The old boy is picking up
with the stick and is making fewer
errors.
Brewer made hard run for
