The perplexing question of the
relationship between the wallaby. a
small species OF kangaroo, and the
oyster. the bivalve gem maker Of
the ocean. arose when Chu Quong
approached Special Deputy Surveyor
of Customs Charles Cook and asked
for permission to take his pet from
the vessel on sightseeing trip
through Chinatown at San Fran
cisco.
The world knows that kangaroos
carry their young in a belly porS h
or pocket. So Deputy Cook. being
aware OF the fact. and being also
instructed by Col. Irby. his chief. to
search all pockets. reached into the
WaIlaby's pocket"
He located a half dozen perfectly
good oyster pearls.
Chu Quong denied any knowledge
OF how they got there-unless the
Wallaby placed them there. The
Wallaby was not questioned
Now the pearls are in the safe
in the customs house seizure room,
and Col. Irby is studying a volume
OF natural history to be sure there
are no pearl-producing wallabies
before he confscates Deputy Cooks

,Chu Quong was permitted to keep
his "peArlless" Wallaby.

Because they believe a preachers

ing why the seminaries Of the
Protestant denominations have lost
80 per cent in the last six years.
in a sermon at st. Stephens P. e.
Church yesterday.
The Rev. Mr.. Dudley said the
Success of a clergy man lies in his
ability to make people feel the wis
dom Of his words" He compared the
clsrgymen's spiritual work with the
secular work of q physician. "a
physician may heal a person, but II
Is only for a few years, while a
clergyman can convert a man and
heal him for life" said the Rev. Mr..
Dudley.
He said a minister's ability Is not
judged by his power to teach people
what to do. but in his success In
influencing people to have the de-
sire to do right. This" he said. lis
why Billy Sunday is recognized as

HARDY SCORES
FOOLS PALACES

Believing that people who trifie
with sin and mock God live. in what
he termed as Fool Palaces" the
Rev. w. F. Hardy, who spoke last
night in the United Presbyterian
Church, urged his hearers to break
away from their neglect of God and
think more about spiritual prep
aration.
The people Of today are prone
to forget God and his claims in
life," he said, "and the individual
who forgets the Divine and lives
alone for material benefit lives in a
FOOLS palace. Many men and wom-
en- prepare for old age and fail to
make preparations for life ever
lasting. The Bible, church and
prayer have become strangers to
them" he continued.
Let US return to the simple
truths and forsake our shallow
ideas of Christianity. We need TO
receive God in Jesus Christ for our
Sayious and guide" he said. But
people continue in their life of for
getfulness and are housed in fools
palaces. the covering Of which keeps
out the spirit of God"
