mother, who have Uved to

Archblkhop Meeller and about fifty priest,
were present at the golden wedding cele

bishop made an address. In which he pub
licly congratulated the couple on their long
and happy married ltfi

Paster Get. the Ru.aee.
Th. member, of the Presbyterian church
of Kenosha, Wis., have for some month,
been growing restive under the criticism
of their pastor. Rev. William McPhetera.
The last straw came when. In the course ot
a sermon last Sunday, he referred to th.
young women of the congregation as "a
flock of cackling parrots." This was too
much, and a meeting of the congregation
was railed. Though the year for which
Mr. McPhetera was engaged was almost up.
th. congregation decided unanimously to
Uvi no luor. ot hiin, Instead he will be
paid the remainder of hi. year', salary
and the church door, closed until another
pastor can be secured.

about Queens Borough, Greater New York,

about in that manner since th. Octebtr
financial flurry. Ignoring the advice of his
friends, he carries the meney about with
him, believing that It 1. safe only under
hi. eye, or, more literally, under his shirt.
County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey ot
Queens, who live. In Jamaica, told some of
his friend, of the man.
"I hope someone will hold htm up and

He knew when it was Sunday and he kept
the day. He was the only Sabbatarian dog
I 'ever knew.' He uset to sleep on a rug
In my room. I had to. keep early hours,
in those days, and evqry morning at 7

my face and remind me that It was time
to go to work. Then, while I was dressing,
he would go to the village aostofflce and
bring hometh. mail. On Sunday morning,
he never stirred off hu rug until I was
good and ready to get up, which was usu
ally quite late, and nothing could Induce
him to go to the poetofflce on that day.
And the best part of the story la, it 1.

Blind Man of the Senate
(Continued from Page One.)
life a. It I. expounded by the president, for
instance. There t. not much In It for him.
Yet he I a gieat lover of nature, a. he
feel. If.
He loves trees and flowers, especially the
fragrant ones, with roses and southern
honeysuckles In the lead. TheJr place in
Lawton' has more trees and shrubs than
any other place In town, though It Is what
Mrs. Gore calls "a little home."
And most of these trees and shrubs were
set nut by the senator himself. But his
love for flowers and trees does not Include
animals. He lias no use on earth for
either dogs br cats.
In fact, aside from his friends and family,
there la only one thing of really great In
terest to blin and that is his work. He has
plenty cut out for him in the near future.
As he drew the short term he will be out
of the senate in two years unless re-elected
In the meantime. So next summer, al
though he has Just finished one campaign,
ho must go to work on another. Fortu
nately he Is perfectly well and strong, so
the prospect has no terrors for him.
It Is because he has always crowded hi.
life with work that he has made hi. blind
ness a matter of such small importance,
for it really Mem. that to him. Th. handi
cap which looms r big to the outsider, he
sliitply does not waste time thinking about.
Here Is a little Incident which shows how
completely he has effaced the conscious
ness of It from his life.
His wife suffers with asthma In Okla
homa aiicl a yor or two a;jo her husband
urged her to g away for the winter so as
to ea ape it. la talking about It he said
to her:
'Your 111 health I. the only misfortune
we have."
"Why," .aid his wife, "most people would
think your blindness was our great mis
fortune,"' "Oh," he said, "I never think of that."
Apparently he does not. He Is too busy
thinking of work. Undoubtedly the fact of
his blindness made people feel kindly to
ward him when he became a candidate
for Senator. But he had to fight for suc
cess. There were four candidates, two of them
being strong ones, and the blind man asked
no quarter. He made the fight as any other
man. would have mu le It and he expects to
serve his slate as other men serve It.
It may be thought that he will be handi
capped when It comes to following a dis
cussion in the Senate chamber, because he
cannot see who Is speaking. Bjt their
voices will soon becomo as familiar to him
as their faces are to other men. Besides
this, every person who addresses the sen
ate is recognized specifically by the vice
president as 'the senator from ,'' what
ever state It may be. With the far greater
than ordinary concentration of attention
which Gore will be capable of giving he
will doubtless keep better track than most
member, do of what Is going on.
Newspapers Prevent Panic

ness is wrecked, employment will cease.
And what will It profit a man If he gets his
small hoard from a bank at the price of
his business or of his Job?
"Think of this befor. you Join a line of
the panic-stricken."
From city after city the handling of the
situation by the press in giving to the pub
lic knowledge of the true condition and lif
eliminating erroneous belief showed a
spontaneous unanimity which could only
have had Its basis on a common apprecia
tion of the Importance to the public of
emphasizing the truth.
"Flurry Falls to Disturb Trade," said
the San Francisco Call, in a typical story
dealing with the real effect of the panic,
and from New Orleans was echoed he
slogan backed by powerful editorials an
alyzing the situation In It. true light. Pay
after day, as a perusal of Its editorials
shows, the Picayune of that city laid bare
