CHURCH IS LIKE
PROMISED LAND
THOSE OUTSIDE ARE ROBBING
THEMSELVES
Rev. Robert J. Burdette Compares
Christians Who Will Not Come
Into the Fold to Prodi.
gal Son
At the Temple Baptist church yester
day morning Dr. Robert J. Burdette
preached on "Borderland Christians,"
taking tor his text Numbers, 32:5, "Let
this land be given unto thy servants
tor a possession; bring us not over the
Jordan."
"There were Israelites east of the
Jordan — outside the boundaries of the
Land of Promise. Reuben, the tribe of
the first-born of Jacob, was one of the
tribes that remained outside the land
promised to Abraham. But it was a
dwindling tribe. It never took the
place of its birthright In history. At
first the most powerful of the tribes,
it lost precedence and power and pros
perity until at last it was swallowed up
by the tribe of Gad, the son of the
slave girl.
"Gad. the other tribe that elected to
dwell outside the Land of Promise was
a mighty tribe, and warlike. It was
a fortress and a refuge for Israel dur
ing the PhiliPtine wars. Dwelling
among his brethren. Gad would have
been a stronghold in Israel. But 700
years before Christ it disappeared from
history.
"Those two tribes were at first a
ntrontr people, and they chose a rich
and fertile and beautiful country for
their Inheritance. But it was an in
heritance among their enemies. It was
a home very much such as they had
had in Egypt. All their surroundings
•were hostile. All the influences that
pressed upon them were hurtful. Syria
■was to the north, Moab crowded upon
the south and idolatrous Mldlan on
the east. Reuben and Gad were Jews.
They worshiped God. They attended
the feasts at Jerusalem. They were
children of the promise; children of
Abraham. But they did not claim to
the full their rights as children; they
did not lay hold mightily upon all the.
fullness of the promises.
Like Strange Son
"They were like a son of the family
who for some strange reason elects to
live In the barn rather than In his
father's house. A son who chooses to
live in the men's quarters, with the
ranch hands, rather than in the home
with his father and mother and sis
ters and brothers. That's my home, 1
he says, pointing to the beautiful
house among the trees and flowering
shrubs, with a velvet lawn of fadeless
greenery sweeping around it; 'gardens
of fruit and flowers bordering It;
sounds of merry laughter and sweet
singing rippling from the opened win
dows; the voice of prayer and praise
making it holy; love making It beauti
ful; cleanliness and comfort; hooks and
society of the best; refinement and cul
ture, making for It an atmosphere of
delight for mind and body and soul—
•that is my home,' he says, 'but I pre
fer to live her? among the ranch hands.
Borne of them are Mexicans; some are
Japanese laborers; some are Chinese
cooks and laundrymen: there are some
nice fellows among them: some of the
foremen are college graduates: some
of the men get drunk on pay day; none
of them speak good English: most of
them gamble and fight— it's about the
usual outfit on a big general ranch.
But you see, I can do as I please out
here. There is a sense of .freedom and
don't careness that I enjoy. Oh, yes:
I go home once In a while: I go into the
house, but I have kind of fallen out of
the things that Interest them, and 1
kind of get along better- by staying
out here.'
It Robbing Himself
"Now, that man is robbing himself.
He used to flisruss the books his
brothers and sisters read, but he hae
lost the taste for flood reading now.
He used to enjoy the best music, but
somehow, listening nightly to the
raucous cacophony of 'talking ma
chines' with ragtime repertoires has
depraved his taste. He used to love
the sweetness and cleanliness and or
derliness of a beautiful home, hut alas
—these things sicken and die in the at
mosphere of Moab.
"The prodigal son was a son e\en
while he was herllng pies and sharing
their provender at their own trough.
But he wasn't the best kind of a son.
He wasn't a very son at all. we
was a very bad son. And he was rob
bing himself— he was robbing body and
jnlnd nn " soul every rtay he Btay
away from home.
"There are Christians outside of the
church, but the* are not the best kind
of Christians. They are not very good
Christians at all. They are the worst
sort of Christians. And every day hey
stay outside the church of Christ they
are robbing their own souls. They are
robbing tho church which needs them.
They are robbing God, who wants
them." .

Feared for Life While in China
REV. JOSEPH SMALE
PREACHER WAS IN
CONSTANT DANGER
REV. JOSEPH SMALE FEARED
DECAPITATION
Saw Twenty.three Executed in One
Day In China and Expected a
Similar Fate at Any
Time
"I did not feel a sense of safety for
one moment for the fear of being de
capitated while In the interior of
China," said Rev. Joseph Smale, pas
tor of the First New Ttestament church,
late last night at his home, 1303 Win
field street.
Rev. Mr. Smale returned Saturday
after an extended trip in China since
January 21. He was met by S. I. Mer
rill, elder of the church, at San Fran
cisco, who accompanded him to Los
Angeles. They were met at the station
by about fifty members of the church,
Rev. Mr. Smale being overwhelmed
with greetings.
At the First New Ttestament church
yesterday morning Rev. Mr. Smale was
greeted with the Chautauqua salute,
preceding his sermon on "The Encour
aging Outlook for Missionary Work."
Last evening his sermon was on the
Korean revival with the statement that
it was far ahead of the great Welsh
revival.
In speaking of his trip Rev. Mr.
Smale said:
Opens New Church
"I started out January 21 to go
around the world, but returned with
out completing the circle on account
of the favorable conditions prevailing
in southwest China for opening our
New Testament church missionary
work.
"We are making Pakhal our base for
operations in that part of the coun
try. While there I secured property
for a missionary compound and have
returned this early to push the building
of the same. We have already opened
a gospel hall and placed a missionary
family c; Germans that has come un
der our work there. We have also a
gospel hall at Lingshan, three days'
journey north from Pakhal, and have
placed in charge there a native Chris
tian, Ming Cho Huen, our Los An
geles Chinese evangelist.
"I made an extensive interior trip to
heathen cities to look into the religious
and political situation. I found a very
pathetic state of affairs. Great discon
tent was shown with tho Manchu
dynasty and my opinion is that China
is on the eve, of a great political revo
lution. There is a secret organization
called the Triad society, claiming to
number 3,000,000 of followers to over
throw the present government.
"The Manchu dynasty is doing all in
its power to overthrow the secret so
cieties, but It ii> a failure and the so
cieties exist.
Saw Twenty.three Executed
"The secret society is beheading all it
can. One Sunday morning I saw
twenty-three led out for execution, and
later saw them lyihg beheaded,
bleaching in the sun for three days
before burial. The usual method is to
keep them for about six days, but the
advent of foreigners seemed to hurry
them in their burial.
"In one city last year 3000 were de
capitated. It is a sad mixture of af
fairs that the innocent as well as the
guilty are coining into the line of de
capitation, and while- there I did not
feel a sense of safety for one moment,
iven with the guard of soldiers fur
nished us weidid not feel safe, for if
any trouble had come up they would
have discharged their guns In the air.
They did not shoot to kill. This is a
great contrast between my feelings
while in Japan, for I felt as secure as
in thJ United States.
"In our church we shall push the
missionary work as fast as possible
and my visit in the orient has greatly
encouraged us in that line of -work."

LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1907.
OWENS RIVER IS
SERMON SUBJECT
PASTOR IS CONVINCED MORE
WATER IS NEEDED
Finds Great Project Has a Religious
as Well as an Economic End,
and Speaks In Its
Favor
Owens river was the subject of a
sermon by Rev. Edward H. Brooks,
pastor of the Figueroa Street Baptist
church, to his congregation last even
ing. He took for his text Rev., 22:1,
"And he showed me a pure river." He
said in part:
"The one great purpose of the Chris
tian pulpit is to bring the life of God
through Jesus Christ into the souls of
men and to vitalize all the forces In
human society. It is, therefore, right
and proper for the Christian minister
to find his themes in the whole field,
not only of Bible teaching, but of
nature and human life. For many rea
sons I am Justified in taking for my
subject tonight, 'Owens River— a Thing
of Beauty and a Joy Forever.' It
comes to view in several particulars.
"First — As a water supply for the
city of Los Angeles. The proposition
as given in the published report and as
discussed in all the papers I have read
carefully. While I am not an eyewit
ness, I have conversed with leading
men in whom I have all confidence. As
a citizen of Los Angeles for twelve
years, deeply Interested in its welfare,
and a careful observer of existing con
dition?, I am led to approve most
heartily of this method of water sup
ply. Surely a large amount of water
will be needed for our city, which Is
growing so rapidly. If the reports are
true, there are no sources around Los
Angeles that are adequate to meet the
demand. The abounding flow of water
in Owens river, from 2800 acres of
watershed and from forty-three moun
atins 13,000 feel high Is reason enough,
it seems to me, for the cost of bring
ing 400 cubic feet per second to this
city and vicinity.
Will Make Desert Rejoice
"As I have in my vision that com
pleted aqueduct, giving abundance of
water for the homes of a million peo
ple, for the irrigation of 75,000 acres of
suburban land now unused, thus mak
ing the desert rejoice and blosßom as
the rose, and also far the generation by
water wheels of electricity in great
abundance, I do not in my enthusiasm
hesitate to call the Owens river a thing
of beauty as Its crowning excellence
and a Joy forever.
"Emerson says: 'The beautiful has
its foundations In the necessary,' and
surely wo must have that water if
possible. Some people say the water
there is not pure — but it seems that
now we are drinking In our present
water supply thirty-nine grains of
solids, but when we get the Owely
river water we will reduce those grains
to twelve. We must not expect per
fection In this world. Comparatively
speaking, it will be, in the language of
my text, 'a pure river.'
"Second — As a most effective pro
moter of unity among the people. The
sooner all the great natural sources of
utility can be owned and operated for
the people on the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number,
the sooner will the kingdom of God
fully come, and his will be done on
earth. The great trend of all social
development now is in this direction,
and it rejoices my heart as no tongue
can tell.
"The Owens river is also a thing of
beauty as a marked instance of the
sacred possessions of Jesus Christ— the
larger Christ, who Is incarnating him
self in a new humanity and who is
yet to have dominion from the river
to the ends of the That river
is also a symbol of spiritual truth and
a prophecy in its full development of
the heavenly city that is to be— 'the
one far off divine event to which the
whole creation moves.'
"Untli that happy time arrives let
us endeavor to make the city we now
live In as much like the heavenly as
we possibly can, and one good way to
do this Is to unite as one man on elec
tion day to vote for sufficient money to
bring here the copious waters of the far
off mountains."
HOLD MEMORIAL
FOR E. T. DUNNING
FELLOWSHIP HAS SPECIAL
SERVICES
Resolutions Passed Extolling His Good
Qualities, and Friends Make
Ten Minute Addresses
of Eulogy
—
In memory of a beloved and devoted
member of the Fellowship, Eber T.
Dunning, who passed away, the service
of the Fellowship took on the form of
a memorial yesterday morning in
Blanchard hall. .
The hall was prettily decorated and a
large congregation was present. Mr.
Walper and Miss Tappe rendered special
music.
Following the opening exercise, M. W.
Turner, a member of the council, pre
sented the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, Our brother, Eber T. Dun
ning, has laid aside his earthly gar
ments and passed beyond our sight,
therefore be it
"Resolved (1) That the Los Angeles
Fellowship records its sincere regard for
his noble qualities of mind and heart,
his pure Ideals, his devotion to the wel
fare of his fellows, individually and
socially nnd his thorough trustworthy
ness in every walk of life.
"(2) That we especially express our
appreciation of his great services to
the Fellowship as founder, trustee,
treasurer and councilor. He never
failed in his self-sacrificing and efficient
service, and even when his failing
health compelled his withdrawal from
his ordinary pursuits he still found
time and strength to fulfil! h!« rln+.les to
this organization, which he loved and
whose members loved him.
"(3) That we extend our loving,
trustful and hopeful sympathy to our
sisters, Mrs. Dunning and her daughter
Jessie, assuring them of our grateful
recognition of their superb trußt and
courage and our continual uplifting of
our souls in their behalf."
The first of the ten-minute addresses
"-was given by Rev. Benjamin Fay Mills,
permanent minister of the Fellowship.
He p;i id in part:
First Break in Ranks
"The first apparent break in the ranks
of the founders of the Fellowship came
on May 21, when our noble councilor,
trustee and former treasurer was re
moved beyond our sight by the gentle
hand of the 'strong deliveress.' He was
one of those rare souls of whom Emer
son says: 'When a man is reliable he
has already begun to he of consequence
in the world.' Reliable is the great
word that best characterizes his rare
faithfulness.
"His personal life was stainless; his
professional career was marked toy that
nobility that causes men to believe in
and trust their fellow men; his domestic
relations were perfect as a son, hus
band, father and host; his devotion to
public Interests, to all wise reform, to
the cause of the weak and lowly, to tha
poor and unfortunate and. ignorant and
erring was beautiful beyond expression,
while his absorption in the interests of
the Fellowship caused him to cherish
them as the welfare of his own soul.
He was never too busy or weary to
minister to relative or friend or neigh
bor or stranger, the contents of his
purse flowed unstintingly to supply hu
man need, while night or day no call
for social service or public duty fell un
heeded on his ear.
"When a co-operative enterprise in
which he was a director failed, in spite
of his strenuous efforts to prevent it,
he himself (without legal or, as nearly
all of his friendscthought, moral obliga
tion) paid JBOOO, all he had, that the
members might not suffer, and his
whole life was a contribution to those
less strong and fortunate than he.
"He was a Fellowshipperf before the
Fellowship and when the first strain
came to the organization, less than a
year from its foundation, no one who
heard him can forget the Intensity with
which he said: 'All my life long I have
been looking for an organization which
could command my Intelligent indorse
ment, my deepest sympathy, my heart's
devotion and my unlimited service, and
at last, after fifty years, I have found
it. Should anything occur which should
cause the dissolution of the Fellowship
I would esteem It as the greatest per
sonal calamity. Irreparable beyond the
power of words to describe.' Then his
voice broke, and the people rose up as
one man. and any possible defeat was
made forever impossible by the mighty,
exhilarating enthusiasm that added vic
tory to victory and, as he expressed It,
showed 'that we had almost unknow
ingly developed such spiritual and finan^
clal strength that no one could doubt
our right to live.'
"He gave us his best, and we send
to him behind the veil our trust and
love, our confidence and gratitude and
our undying and illimitable hope. Al
ready the invisible. Fellowship is formed
of some of our rarest and best loved
souls, and who can doubt that these
bonds are eternal?"
Assistant Minister Speaks
Reynold Blight, assistant minister Of
tho Fellowship said in part: I
"To have known a man like Mr. Dun
ning is a rare privilege. He was not,
one to wear his heart upon his sleeve,
and sometimos those who met him only
casually thought him cold, but those of
us who were privileged to come into
closer intimacy knew him to be warm
hearted. They to whdm he gave his
confidence found a great, beautiful,
royal soul. His heart throbbed with
sympathy for all pain and affliction.
His heart's best sympathy went out to
all who bore life's burdens. No needy
person ever appealed to him In vain.
How often have we seen his eye light
up with love tor some whose lives had
been loveless. How often have whis
pered stories come to us of his benefac
tions, and when taxed with them how
often have we seen that sweet myster
ious smile play over his features. How
often have we felt encouragement and
good cheer In tfte grip of his hand. He
believed in progress, and every move
ment tending to improve human condi
tions found in him a friend; and at
great personal. .sacrifice did he lend his
heart and his brain to worthy efforts
for human betterment. Even through
the gloom that settled upon him during
the last mpnths of his life a great illu
mination seemed to shine, and little
words of trust and little deeds of love
gave proof that the heart was still
sound. To have known such a man, to
have enjoyed his confidence, to have
felt the power of his sterling character
and the dynamics of his noble impulses
was indeed a rare privilege — and may
God make us worthy of his memory."
D. W. Swahwick of the Los Angeles
bar voiced the effective sentiment and
deep appreciation of his colleagues and
others in memory of the departed as a
citizen and his great ability and useful
ness in his chosen profession. He said
in part:
"About nine years ago, on the occa*
sion of my first association In a law
suit with Mr. Dunning, the exigencies
of the business seemed to me to require
that some work. In connection with It
be' done on Sunday. ..J suggested a con
sultation on that, dny, adding the query
If he had no objection to working on
Sunday. His answer was that all days
wan Sunday to him.
"Ab I understood hl« answer he meant
that he would not do a thing on any
other day which he would not do on
Sunday. This answer furnishes a key
note to his character. Hr was essen
tially conscientious in everything that
he did. and always had the same stan
dard for business which he had for
religious matters.
"Mr. Dunning was a faithful repre
sentative of the interests which were
intrusted to him. No considerations
personal to himself ever prevented his
giving to the interest of his clients the
very best that was in him; in fact the
nervous condjHion under which he suf
fered at the last was the direct result
of a too conscientious care of the in
terests which were intrusted to him.
"In all his domestic relations as son,
husband and father his life was beau
tiful and he has left to his surviving
family the priceless legacy of a pure
and stainless name."
In Social Reform
William E. Smythe of San Diego
said in part:
'The sincere interest of Mr. Dunning
in social reform work was illustrated
in his devotion to tho Rochdale Co
operative store of Los Angeles, even
after its failure became inevitable.
With no greater responsibility than
hundreds of other stockholders he as
sumed the entire burden at a cost of
thousands of dollars. He was deter
mined that the flag the Rochdale weav
ers had triumphantly sustained in Great
Britain should not be dishonored, even
if defeated in Los Angeles.
"A part of his religion was In his
social gospel. His tolerant attitude to
ward radical reforms, considering that
he belonged by interest and association
to the so-called better element, carries
a great lesson to us all.
"He would have welcomed any re
form, whatever its effect upon his per
sonal fortunes, If he believed it meant
the ennoblement of mankind. He was
a zealous lover of true humanity."
The closing address was made by
Mrs. Mill* associate minister of the
Fellowship. She said in part:
"There are few men concerning whom
we find it possible to speak unreserved
ly. But when we say of Mr. Dunning
that he was a man of great height of
character, of stainless truth of word
and action, of clear sincerity of thought
and aim, of universal kindliness, we
need make no mental reservation, but
are describing the makeup and Impres
sion of the whole man.
"He was a steqjlast man. Just where
and what he promised to be — a little
more than he promised— the hand, when
reached out for him In any time of
need, did not pass through him. His
reliability made him an elemental force
in the community.
"His modes./ deserves especial men
tion. So far from importunately drag
ging his virtues to the front he seemed
to forget that he possessed virtues.
"But the crowning beauty of. his life
was a sympathy of feeling and of ac
tion that was native, spontaneous and
habitual. This sympathy created a
home love and life of exquisite quality,
was practically known by a large circle
of friends, became a valuable experi
ence with all of his clients. All of
his relations, begin wheVe they might,
speedily grew to be relations o; loving
service. Such qualities as these are
the assurance and evidence of immor
tality.
"Many called thee friend:
Leaned on thy great heart:
To thy Journey's end
Loving was thine art.
"Fine art finely used
Where'er want did rend:
Where'er hearts were bruised,
There we found thee, friend.
"And when rested, friend.
Can we doubt thy Joy
To find some higher end
This same art employ?"
DA VID EPOCH
MAKING FIGURE
Rev. William Horace Day Draws Les-
sons from Life of the Son of
Jesse — Did His Duty
Humbly
At the First Congregational church
yesterday morning the pastor. Rev.
William Horace Day, preached on
"Day/d the Shepherd Boy," taking as
his text I Sam., 16: v, "Jehovah seeth
not as man seeth." After a beautiful
tenor solo from "Rebekah" by Mr. Ses
sions he said in part:
"In tile first verses of the New Testa
ment and again in the last David Is
presented as a cosmic man, an epoch
making figure In the long line of mes
sianic life which runs like a gulf stream
across the history of the people of
Redemption and culminates in Jesus
of Nazareth. This morning I shall pre
sent the character of David, the shep
herd boy, as we see it displayed in three
scenes of his early life.
David at the Altar
■ "There was great excitement when
feamuel came to Bethlehem and rallorl
! the village to the sanctuary. Jesse and
lib? family wer« called, hut the youngest
son was left with the sheep. Jesse un
derestimated the shepherd boy. He,
with Samuel, looked upon the outward
appearance and thought, of course, the
one Jehovah wanted for princely serv
ice would be Ellab, first born, tall and
striking, but 'Jehovah seeth not as man
seeth.'
"Jesse evidently did not know the
changes that had been taking place In
the little lad. Like many another
father, he could not realize that thn
child had become a man. I suppose he
thought he was too young to appreci
ate what went on in the sanctuary,
and so he had not brought him to the
altar.
"Fortunately, Samuel listened for the
divine voice and passed each of the
seven older boys and insisted that the
youngest be brought. It Is a moment
of high import to all time when the
old prophet raises his hand and pours
the vial of precious oil upon the lad's
head. The power of the consecrations
which others make for us is not ap
preciated by us. I think in that hour
Jesse must have seen as God sees, for
upon the face of the stripling there
must have been the bursting out of
the light which had been secretly burn
ing in the heart. 'And the spirit of
Jehovah came upon David mightily
from that day forward.'
David with the Harp
"The second scene in this remarkable
boyhood is at Saul's court. The king
Js afflicted and craves music. A serv
ant recommends David, the shepherd
musician. When the evil spirit fell
upon Saul the lad played, 'so Saul was
refreshed.' It was no chance that the
boy from the poor home and the life
out of doors could succeed. He had
been trained In his art.
"Mr. Browning hae imagined the
training of the minstrel. He learns
from the visible world, I from the an
mals which he wooed with music, from
his service 'to all classes in. the village
life, the help tune of the reaper, the
las song for the dead and the gad
chant 'as the Levites go up to the
altar ' From the nature about him his
heart is led to the spiritual.
" 'I but open my eyes, and perfection,
no more and no less,
lnI In the kind I imagined, full fronts me,
and God is seen, God _
lnI In the star, In the stone, in the flesh,
lnI In the soul, In the clod.
"The great poet has understood the
artist's unfolding as only an artist can.
The foundation of success in art is
vision of development of strength the
"In the development of strength tne
wilderness played a part. The "on and
the bear threatened the flock; the shep
herd boy had to meet and slay the wild
beasts. " He must forget his own safety
lnI In his readiness to sacrifice for the
s>eep, and 'the free, hardy days with
the flock gave opportunity for perfect
ing his skill with the sling.
"No wonder this lad was showing
signs of valor, of power. His training
for delivering the nation was even
deeper "than In bodily strength. His
strength was as the strength of ten
because his heart was pure. He learned
obedience and reverence to the God -or
his fathers. In the hour of *? Bt *"V?
shepherd boy could go against the tried
soldier, dared to pit his skill against
Goliath's strength because his heart
was rlgh£. .•'... -T ■
" 'I come to thee in the name of Je
hovah of hosts' was his battle cry, and
the slant went down before his smootn
stone so swiftly hurled. God chose
David to deliver Israel because, while
man lookcth upon the outward appear
ance Jehovah looketh upon the heart.
"The use David made of himself Is
instructive. With all his consciousness
of ability, versatile as he was, David
became an armor bearer. The busi
ness of the armor bearer was to hold
his master's great shield or to chase
spent arrows. It was a very subordi
nate place, and yet this boy was obedi
cente ent 'He went whithsoever Saul sent
him.lh him.1. 1 'He behaved wisely.' He did not
despise his lowly work, but put him
self into his work and was fit for ad
vancement. David justified God's choice
of him. I wish I could say to every
young man in Los Angeles who thinks
he Is too large for his subordinate po
sition: So treat your small place that
God, 'who looketh upon the heart,' can

PAIRS OF TWINS IN IT
Special to Tho Herald.
RAVENNA. Ohio, June 2.— E. R.
Brown of this city, father of eight sets
of twins, has Just heard from his eldest
son In St. Louis that the latter's wife
several days ago presented him with
the sixth set of twins. In each case
they are a boy and a girl.
Brown says his family was numeri
cally strong long before President
Roosevelt propagated his race suicide
idea. Mrs. Brown, who died eleven
years ago, was a full blooded Cherokee
Indian.
At the World's fair in 1893 the twins
were weighed and aggregated over two
tons, the biggest being 320 pounds.
COULDN'T DROP BUSINESS
LONG ENOUGH TO WED
Special to The Herald.
WATERBURY. Conn., June 2.—
There was surprise In Waterbury when
Walter Burton, 46, staid bachelor and
merchant, disappointed the guests in
vited for his wedding. The Key. Wil
liam T. Holmes of the Mefiodlst church
was ready to officiate. The bride-to-be,
Miss Sarah Atwood, has a fortune..
"Oh, I couldn't possibly make it,"
said Burton characteristically. "I had
to tend my grocery all alone, had a lit
tle business, and besides I missed the
trolley. I think I can finally adjust
matters," he added, as a boy came In
from a church social and asked for two
dozen lemons.
The marriage when it does come will
be recognized as an event.

RAYVILLE, La., June 2.— "1 feel so
tlrerl! " gasped Miss Mary Nixon, 20
years old, the belle of the town, last
night, after she had skated four hours
in a roller rink without missing a num

arms of her escort and was dead in
a few seconds. A physician said that
the night's exertion had affected the
girl's heart. An hour before being
stricken she and her partner had been
awarded the prize for the most, grace
ful couple on the floor.
