It was while Mr. Jones was a youngster carrying nowspapers i n Macon, Oa., that he professed religion, and he im mediately became an active Chris tian worker, One of tho first things he did after becoming a Christian was to organise the paper boys of Macon into a .news boys union, and the union at jeaffh of its meotings was lead in devotional exercises by Broaddus Jones. .

New York, June 19. The cigarette smoking proclivities of Mr. Praams Bushy McCormick and the thirst of her husband, Robert C. MeCorssiek, assistant district attorney, overshad owed all other line of inquiry into the domestic intranquilhtic that upset their little home when tha trial of Mrs. MeCormiek's separation suit resumed today before Supreme Court Justice Blanohard. Three hours of cross-examination at the hands of Mirabeau L. Towns, brought out two things from MeCor miek. First, he was not jealous of the gold-tipped cigarette to Me the lan guage of Mr. Towns that rested be tween Mrs. MeCormiek's lips; and secondly, not since he was a boy has McCormick suffered from the effect of a remorse or, as the Germans call it, Katsenjammer again to use Mr. Towns' words. Tho lawyer asked Mr. McCormick many questions about liquor drinking. This was part of the cross-examination: "Did you not join the Atlantic Yacht Club about two weeks after you moved to Seagate!" "Yes." "Was not that because the club was the only place in that restricted residents! neighborhood where you could get a drink?" "Oh, no. r used to go up to the Oriental Hotel at Manhattan Beach." "Where did you get the better li quor, at the Atlantic Yacht Club or the Oriental Hotel?" I think the Oriental's was a little bit the better," said Mr. McCormick with a laugh. "Didn't you take a drink in the morning after making speeches for Whitman for governor? ' Court Rules Out Question. The court ruled out the question. "Very well," said Lawyer Towns, I merely wanted to know how soon Mr. McCormick began drinking in the mornings. Now, Mr. McCor rnick, what is you favorite cafe from the district attorney's office up Broad way home?" 'I haven't any favorite cafe."

"It did not exalt your love for her?' "No. My feeling for her remained the same."

Mr. G. V. owner appeared this week in Su perior Court at Beaufort in a case of vital interest to the fishermen all alonj? the North Carolina coast. The case was that of Bell vs. Smith et al., in which K. N. Bell sought to oust fishermen from the use of a strip of Bogue Beach land. Bel! has a State grant, and contends that for nearly half a century the property has beon used as a private fishery. Mr. Cow per appeared for the plaintiff. The defendants olaj ned that it was only recently that any objection was made to use of the beach, ami a new fish- house and appurtenances were set up. Judge George Connor ordered a mistrial of the case after it had run two days, in order to give a delay so as to secure a complete map of the property. The beach in question a! high tide is partly covered with sea water. There are a great many similar situations on tho coastal rief, Mr. "Vwper says, and the Bell vs Smith case is one of the general interest along the sounds.

It looks now as though Leo Frank, the convicted slayer of Mary Phagan, the little Atlanta factory girl, will pay the penalty for the crime on the gallows. Governor Slaton yesterday told the attorneys of the condemned man that ii would be best for him to make ready to meet his God, and I his i believed to mean that lie will not interfere in changing the sentence.

Berlin (via London;, June 19. -Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, whose long report to Foreign Minister von Jagow. Dr. Alfred Zitnmermann, un der secretary of foreign affairs, and Count Montgelas. head of the Ameri can section of the foreign office, ac quainted these officials fully with the stains of public opinion in the United Stales, will be given an opportunity to make a similar report direct to Chancellor von Bcthmann-Hollwegg before actual preparation of the Ger man reply to the United States re garding submarine warfare is com menced. Whether Dr. Meyer Gerhard, who was sent to Germany by Count Bern storff, ambassador to the United States, will visit headquarters and present his facts to Emperor William in person has not been decided. In ary case tne uerman reply prooaoiy will not be ready in less than ten days. Extended conference between rep resentatives of the various depart ments concerned will be required to unify the opinions of the foreign of fice," the ministry of marine and the naval general staff for presentation to the United States. These conferences have not yet be gun and there is nothing to show what direction the current of German policy ultimately will take. 4nMl is an open question whether the m ply will be another ad interim eon? munication or a definite rejoinder. It may be stated regarding Dr. Meyer Gerherd's reply that the in formation brought by him contained little which was absolutely new to the foreign office and its chief value lay in prjespjiting ay report pf the strength of the various currents "of public opinion in the United States and the attitude of President Wilson and his advisers in a more positive and convincing form than could have been possible in a wiitten communi cation.

The Daily Mail prints the following: The Deutsche Tageszietung has iseovored that wife-hunting German fashion is one of. the things wherein hey do not show their superior Kul er. It advocates alterations in tho method, which is too frequently that of advertisement in the popular press. Tho war has changed nothing in Berlin. It is "As we were for us. soy s the Berliner and the Tageszeitung quoting this phonographic phrase, dds: "More's ti' ply.

A girl with 5000 would hardly have advertised before the war for onythtaV less than an officer of the army or navy or a civil official; now she will aecept what is technically described as a "better gentleman." if his "social and financial nosition" is assured. Bi.t tha ladies in Germsny have nof to devise more striking appeals il they wish to be distinguished frOn. ruck. Here is a sample quoted by the Tageszeitung: "I call you, you who belong to me in the world. You, too are seeking in marriage a sanctuary. -You ex pect to find in your wife, as I in my husband, the best thing in life. Here I am." Under this advertisement, in much smaller type, follows the important part of it: "It is true, I am 42 years old, bi t presently I shall have a considentbls fortune." However, this type of advertise ment is not altogether confined' to t he fair sex. Here is an appeal otj the same lines for a male: "I seek you, my friend and my" wife! Simple and sunny nature, you will hate the ordinary humbug of life. You will love nature and all that is natural. All that I am and:desir will give purpose to your existence." This prodigy only requires", few thousands with his wife, but the ex planation follows in the usual small print: "I cannot say I am without ble mish, but still ." "Shop soiled, in fact, and going at a great reduction," as the Deutsche Tageszeitung observes. ' Then there is a whole class of poe tical aspirants. A suitable specimen of this class was quoted not long ago in the Daily Mail. Here is the rough translation: "Nightingale song Days sunny and long. Return and make glad A maid's heart that is sad!
