of the windows into the basement
The windows are large. 1t wasn't
difficult. When we were inside, the
man made me go upstairs into the
main auditorium. There were three
other men waiting for us. These
men also had handkerchiefs tied
over their faces. 1t was very dark
in the church and I couldn't see
them distinctly. Two of them
grabbed me and stripped off all my
clothes. Though it was warm night,
II shivered some. The four men
didn't talk. One produced a new
rope
Have you any dying request to
make one said. 1t was the first
thing any of them had said in the
church, my first intimation that
they intended to kill me-"
Tries To Escape
Brown said he heard an automo-
bile pass outside and made ges-
ture of escape only to have one of
the captors kick him and another
slap him across the face.
They then looped the rope around
his neck and carried the nude man
to his pulpit.
From there they tossed the rope
over the ceiling after hoisting Brown
two feet into the air. Another
captor brought a chair and placed
it underneath Brown just a frac-
ton of an inch below his toe. Brown
struggled to reach it, but could not,
he said, and the kidnapers chuckled
and departed.
Slowly choking in the darkness,
Brown tried to reach the chair a
few minutes later and was surprised
to find that he could. The rope
had begun to stretch.
The Rev. Brown yesterday re-
ceived a letter written in pencil on
wrapping paper. It read:
Would you kill your best friend
to remain pastor of North Dallas?
This is our way of torturing
your heart. We would cut your
heart out and drink your blood and
love it
He said that he had received
other letters, all by mail.

While during the past few years
science has assured men that small
pox, and malaria can be ex-communi-
Gated; that the diphtheria germ can
be annihilated; that the leper suffer
ers can be isolated; that tuberculosis
can be cured; that practically all of
the dreaded diseases of the past are
now treated successfully-there is
creeping into a mans life the joy-kill-
ing tribe who warn that society's
downfall is at hand because of the
dreadful dandruff, pyorrhea, and hall
tosis, not to mention B. o. and ath-
lete's foot.
This kind of advertising of anti
septic and other preparations reputed
to save us from all the ills to which
the flesh is heir, has done much harm
to the timid, shrinking, self-conscious
soul who abounds in Garrett county
and everywhere.
While real science is relieving the
human mind of many former buga-
boos, modern ''fear factories" are
manufacturing new horrors to alarm
the gullible and shorten their lives
through sheer fright.
Consider the effect on the heart to
suddenly read in a magazine where
nine chances out of ten you have hall
tosis. Why it's enough to freeze ones
blood to learn that four out of every
five have pyorrhea and that Three in
One have oil.
Even though you walk to work on a
street car, or sit upon stool the en-
tire day it's a twenty to one shot that
you are bothered with athletes foot.
And unless you are user Of Mis-

new list of physical horrors, which
without treatment, are fatal to popu-

ness so sought after by offsprings of
Eve.
Believe it or not, dread in the heart
is worse than dandruff in the hair,
and fear in the soul is more unsightly
than film on the teeth.

 There were only two balls and at one time both were lost in the weeds somewhere so the game was called while one of the players made round trip marathon to his home for another apple.
 The game was played last night. It was between the combined teams of the Moose and Junior Elks against nine little brown Filipinos.
 The score at the end of the seventh inning was 12 to 9 in favor of the combined youngsters and was finished in darkness.
 There was plenty of hitting by both sides and boy, oh, boy, how the F'ilipinos could run the bases when they had the opportunity
