Preached in His Sleep.

South Cardinals aged negro.
Ma jor' Perry, who although unable
either TO read or write, preached an
eloquent and scholarly sermon every
night While asleep for A. years, is
deao at the age of 80 and takes his
secret to the grave with him, says
Campers Weekly. But what that Sc
cret was he didn't know himself.
During his waking hours he could
never be convinced he preached dur,
ing his sleep nor could he be persuad-
ed to make an address in public.
Perry never preached the same SER
mon twice in succession and ministers
who heard him said his Knowledge of
the bible was profound.
Asleep. Perry would begin speaking
announcing his text, including book,
chapter and verse, he would preach
FOR 80 minutes, then sleep quietly the
remainder OF the night. The sermons

4 critical illness and continued every
night thereafter until his death a few
weeks ago. And explanation of the
case as god as any. is that man does
not yet know his own powers.

The Moiave Desert is full of lakes

Biologists have maintained that
they are the remains of prehistoric

cent paper that there is no evidence
these salty mud flats, or playas, as
they are called. were ever connected in

they were formed at different times

YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Oct. 9.-With Il vicious hitting at
tack against very spotty pitching,
the st. Louis Cards drew up even
again with the New York Yanks in
the world series when they won the
sixth game here today by the lopsid-
ed score of 10 to >.
1t was an epidemic of hitting
such as struck the Yanks in st.
Louis that gave the National league
champions the sixth game and fore
cd the series into seventh game
here tomorrow.
Miller Higgins, manager of the
Yanks, with an advantage of ono
game lead before today's game, was
in 4 position to gamble on his pitch.

20 Bob Shawkey, one Of his oldest
and most experienced pitchers.
Shawkey was in danger from the
start and was allowed to remain in
the game until the seventh inning
principally with the help of some
very ldSL IltlulHS.
The Cards scored three runs in tho
first inning on two singles, double
and an infeld out and base on
balls. They scored again in the
fifth on two singles, a sacrafice, and
an infield ont. They put the game
on ice by scoring five runs in the
seventh on Lester Bells home run,
two doubles, q single and Lazzeri s
error at first. Again in the ninth
Il triple by Southworth and an in
field out scored the last run.
Rogers Hornsby, manager of the
Cards, could take 10 chances and he
was forced to use his big ace, the
veteran Grover Cleveland Alexander

teammates placed in him by pitch
ing q mastery game.

He was seldom in danger AND the

cause he had lead enough to put him

to bear down on every pitch.
The Yanks scored one run in the
fourth inning on Meusel's triple and
/ Dugan's single, and the round ended
in the seventh on two singles and a
wild throw by Bell.
The crowd was distinct dlsap-
