Ceylon, Can.-Evangellstic sermons

nell Love, twenty-two-year-old farm
er of Ceylon, Canada, that he went
forward and declared to the evangel-

dubbed his mother to death seven
years ago because she reprimanded
him for keeping bad company"
Loves father, Henry Love, who was
convicted by jury and hanged at
Owen Sound, Ontario, for the crime
seven years ago, was found guilty
principally through the testimony of
his son, who now says he was the MUIR
derer. While on the scaffold the fa-
ther made what was believed to be
confession Of his guilt.
The son grew up into manhood a
prosperous farmer, and the tragedy of
his life was apparently buried in the
Oblivion of the past until he attended
the evangelistic service. He told the
evangelist that he killed his mother
with stick Of wood and hid the body
In the cellar, where 1t was found later.

lNHERITS CORK LEG OF CHUM
Poor California Man Now Uses Limb
That Carried More Fortunate
Friend.

San Francisco-"When I am dead
and gone you shall have my leg to
walk on, jim"
This Is what Henry Marsh once said
to his old friend, James w. Phelps
And 1t has come to pass, for Phelps
called at the coroner's Office recently
on crutches, but walked away without
them.
Years ago Marsh and Phelps became
friends. Their intimacy grew out of
the fact that each had met with an
accident which deprived him of the left
leg.
Marsh was successful and was able
to buy an expensive artificial leg to
get about on. But Phelps, always poor,
was compelled to hobble about on
crutches.
Occasionally Phelps would call on
Marsh at the latters home on Sunday
morning. Quite often he would bor-
row Marsh's artificial leg and 20 for
q walk. Menwhile Marsh would sit
at home reading until Phelps returned.
Those were days Of delight for
Phelps. So 1t was one Sunday thai
Marsh promised him his artificial leg
on his dea.h.
Marsh shot and killed himself July
IT at his cigar stand. II was a plain
case for the coroner and the public ad-
ministrator.
Phelps claim to the artificial leg of
his dead friend was established to the
satisfaction of the authorities, and
now he has disposed of his crutches
