PASTOR PUNS TO
SAVt WILD GIRLS
THE REV. BYRNE WAITS FOR $40,
000,000 FROM BENE.
FACTOR.

MEW YORK, April 12.A little,
crippled parson Is killing time in, one
of the gayest of the Broadway ho
tels, awaiting the settlement of an es
tate which he expects will make him
the richest clergyman in the world,
and place him beyond the necessity
for church bazaars or rummage sales.
Forty million dollars he claims is
coming to him on Ma.f 29, and the
Jflov. Davis S. K. llyrn of Toronto,
doesn't Intend to lift a single church
mortgage, pension a pastor or buy a
bowl of clam chowder for a Bowery
bum. Doctor Bryno is going to spen
the money when ho gets it In pio
vidlng a spiritual diet for girls gone
wrong. The commodity prices on the
spiritual menu aren't fixed by the
produce exchange or quotable on the
market tables of the newspapers, so
the little minister doesn't attempt to
say just how many wayward women
he can restore to morality, but he ex
pects to do much good In the world.
Dr. Byrne Is living in the heart d"f
the region whore whispered saluta
tions from darkened taxies cruising
slowly, close to t .lie curbs at night
nnd sly glances from experienced
eyes tell him there is work to be done
with his millions. He is looking things
over on Broadway as he did in Chica
go in l'J07, when ho dropped into a
dive on South Statu street to look
up a telephone number and was In.
vlted to buy a drink for a pretty
young girl from Pittsburgh.
"I told her U wouldn't buy hor a
drink, 1 wouldn't oven buy myself a
orlnk, but if she wanted me to, I'd
say a prayer for nor," says Dr. Byrne
on Broadway. "And I sat right down
at the table and prayed."
For the time being the girl's inter
est still ran to that drink, however,
Ibis being only 10 o'clock on n morn
ing aftor. Sho strayed away from the
little man who sat with his head
bowed at the tablo and ho, finishing
his Importunity to Clod, walked across
tho strcot to a little greasy restaurant.
A fow minutes later the girl rejoinod
him and asked him to finish that
story about forgiveness. Ho did; and
sho was converted.
Tlio girl went back to her father
In Pittsburgh, who was Willliani
Cloorgo Hyrna, a capitalist, according
to tho preacher, and the father w:is
so grateful to the minister that ho
adopted him as his son the minis
ter's name was Jacob Kldd naming
him a Joint hulr to his vast ostato
Tho other holrs wore Uio daughter.
Lucy, her mother and 1ior brnthtv,
John. Lucy died, and soon alter the
father also died. His will, however,
provided that the executor could not
bo discharged until 10 years later,
which time oxplros on May '29. Moan
time the wlfo and son wore report oJ
lost In tho KniproHS of Ireland OUas
ter, which loft tho minister at solo
legatee and executor.
With tho prospects of this troiuen-

The hotel clerks and bell hops have
r'been very attentive to Dr. Byrne, but
without much luck to date, as returns
are measured on Broadway. But it is
u good gamble on Broadway to be
nice to a man on speaking terms with
forty millions.

PARIS, April 12, On May 5, with
France's celebration of the hundredth
anniversary of the death of Napol
eon, Marshal Foch will be given lit-
tks foretaste of the nice things that
Fiance will do in his honor when he
is jafely dead as Napoleon. I
There is nothing that France like.?
to do better or that she does nicer
titan pulling off honors on behalf of
hor great military heroes. Generally
speaking, France would just as soon
honor a live military chief as a dead
one, only experience nas uiugni nei
that it is mucli safer to stick to the
latter.
Experience has taught France that
her celebrations in honor of live mili
tary chiefs are so Intoxicating that
they are likely, to go to the head of
said military chief, and cause him to
want to take over the whole show.
So iMarshal Foch will participate
Tn the big celebration of May 5 with
the quiet and sure consciousness- that
as soon as he has been dead as long
as Napoleon, France won't fail to
overlook any little occasion like his
