A MY rilIC I. CHECK.

For some time the Rev. Dr
John U. l'axton has been receiving
letters from all sort" of persons in
various degrees of alleged destitu

from ) to$ni'U out ot the proceeds
of a.r10 MM) check which he i- sui-
iio3e..l bv the writers to receive as
an annual charity tutu! irom one
ol Ins wealthy parishioners.
these letters have become so
abundant of late that Dr. Pax ton
nibliely complained about it last
wndav Irom his pulpit. Recent
ly he told a Sun reporter that they
simply showed the longevity of a
ie.
"For," said he, "a New York
journalist wrote a story live years
ago alsjnt the millionaires of this
city, and said that a certain
wealthy anil charitable member ot
my congregation gave me iflO(i,(HH)
every year lor distntition among
tiie needy poor. I began to get
letters at once Irom all parts ol
t'p country from people begjing
ai I. There was not a word oi
tMithinihe story, hut to show
how thee thiitgs are saved, a
Kansas City paper printed it as
fresh news the other day, and 1
have , again been deluged with
letters. One woman wanted to
start a Ixiarding house. She sa'.d
she would get the furniture if I
would get the house. Another
wanted ine to send her daughter
to Kurope for a musical education.
I s'tnp'y put the letters in the
wasTe-paper basket. But I wish
they would stop coming, ks they
an ioy me very much. Our church
supports its-lf and its choir on its
pew rents, and there are no dona
