they look forward to Saturdays

rivals, after an absence OF several
years from the Wesleyan gridiron.
Davis & Elkins College will meet
the Methodlsts at Buckhannon Sat.

the Methodists have had in two
seasons. Not since Grove City Col
lege put UP the game fight they
did In 1920 has visiting team set
cleats in the Wesleyan sod. The
Buckhannon fans are eager to sec
something start on the local field,
and Saturdays event has all the
early earmarks of an event that
will jar the chalk lines around tho
ptgskin links to the delight Of the
wild and wooliest grid'fan.
There is considerable country
between Buckhannon and Elkins.
At nearly every crossroads, or rail
road stop, there may be heard talk
concerning Saturday afternoons

the announcement that Buckhannon

Among the older fans is where
the interest wakes warm. Many
wildly recall the days when Eli.

In an obscure corner of Berrien

whose reputation as a healer has
spread from Florida to Maine.
From time to time rumors Of her
marvellous cures reached me. l heard
how the crippled were made to walk,
the blind to see, and other miracles
performed All of which aroused my
curiosity to such pitch that l decided
to see this wonderful person with my

AS we drove alongSthe country road,
we met a farmer, and asked him if he
would kindly put us on our way to

"Keeplalong this road until you come
to where it forks, then take the road
that's Travelled most" he answered, his
eyes twinkling.
We continued on our way, and sure
enough, when we came to the fork, one
road indicated that trayel, to say the
least, was slim, while the other showed
a beaten line straight to Mollie's door.

AS we neared the house, a plain lit
tie cottage set well back in the yard,
we saw automobiles, p, buggies and
wagons of all sorts and descriptions,
while on the porch and in the yard
even out in the road-stood a perfect
swarm of people.
"Goodness!" 1 exclaimed, We've
come too late. Poor Aunt Mollie is
dead, and those are the mourners."
But not so. She was not dead, but
very much alive, and this was merely
the usual crowd that awaited her daily.

some idle and curious, but all, or most
