lx? interested lu the f<j)l|^\ UiK itll star
football eleven selected rvoni the Old
Testament character* by Hilly Sunday
famous evfiugelUt. Morgan Hlako.
siK?'tlng editor of the Atlanta Journal
and Coach Alexander of the Oeorgla
Tet-h football team v isi t<sl the famous
??vmigell*t at Jacksonville. Ktn., a few
day* aim and Hlako asked Mr. Sunday
! ?o |dck for him from tin* Old Testa
incut an all time all-star football team.
TIHs Is hl? story of what followed :
Billy was reclining on Ids bod and
I'oamlnu down on hi* visitor* when
I xttld to him: ?? ?
"Mr. Sunday, 1 want you to pick for
me from the Old Testament an ?11
tiine all-star football tctuu."
lUUy JuiuihmI elean out of bod at this
request, "Ma, hand mo the Bible."
And then for the next twenty mln
? utes while llill .was picking his .team
and commenting on each selection,
Coach Aleck lay hack in bis chair. In
haled a big fat cigar and exploded
with laughter.
! "loot's sec," said Billy. "I'm going to
pick out tuy coder first. Sampson Is
without the shadow of a doubt the man
for center. A guy who could pull down
tly* pillars of the temple would be hard
to get through.
"T4jo ImKtv man for quarterback Is
Solomon, the wisest gink of history,
lie would, of iiinrsc, call th? signals
<>n the team.
I "My two halfhacks are Jonathan and
David. They were great team work
ers ami had much speed."
Hilly had a man in mind ,for full
hack. but bo couldn't think of his name
right off the hat. ?
"He would be a hear cat for full
' hack," said. Billy, "because when he
I went out to kill a hoar he would kill
him by falling on him. Hive me that
I Bible again. Ma."
And after a five-minutes search Billy
found what he was looking for. "Ills
name was Benlah," said Bill. "That's
the bird I wnnt for fullback." ;
At tackles Billy placed Jacob and
Emu. and at guards (Jideon and Nfe
hcmlah, the latter being the man who
built the walls of Jerusalem. For the
ends he chose Daniel and Joseph,
, "Why did you leave fioliath off
your team?" asked Charlie Outlaw.
"I am picking a gang for team work,"
replied Billy, "that guy l>elonged to the
enemy."
Billy's all-st.tr Old Testament team
follows :
Sampson. center.
Daniel, end.
Joseph, end.
Nohemlah. guard.
(rideon, guard.
Jacob, tackle.

Solomon, quarterback.

To the Editor of The New York Tillies :
During the next ten years the l>oozers
bandits, morons, speed maniacs and
half -grown girls who drive a ma
jority of the automobiles wlll%kill
enough men. women and children to
make a city the ?izc of Albany. There
will be a few miles of editorials wast
ing valuable wood pulp. Countless
words will heat the air. Hut nobody
does anything. Everybody seems to
have forgotten that pedestrians were
made before the Lizzies, and that they
have a right tO( be on earth. Such a
simple remedy would be a law eonfis
caiing the cars of the assassins and
sending them to the penitentiary for
life.

A Prodigal Boi)
Tho Advoeaty bus investigated the
report that Mr. Loo had another wlfo
and finds that tho roport is nntrno and
without foundation. Tito following;
interesting story of his llfo. however,
Is found to bo truo.
%V^ion a hoy in Ohio ho was seized
with wanderlust and wanted to go
off and roam over the \Vorld ; so he ran
away from homo when he was 10
years uhl. His fruiter hunted fon Jiim
til) lie found him, and on riled him
hack home. About two years later he
ran away again, mid, in order Jo keep
his father from finding him. he
(.'hanged his iiumc from Win. A. llunge
to Wm. II. Lee.
lie wandered from pinee t?? place,
work'ng at intervals, till ho got a Job
at Four Oaks, N. C? on the Coast Lino
railroad about 40 miles north of Fayet
tevllle. There he. mftrried Miss Mary
Harbor in -1010. lie went from there to
Marlon, and earn ft to Ilonnottsvlllo In
t he fall of 1017 to work for .1. O. & A. j
L. Breedon. Their little daughter was
born soon after t hoy eame bore.
Ahont two months ago Mr. Lee
told his wife a.ud employers that he
had to go see a very sick sister In
Michigan. Sometime after he eame
back he confessed to Mrs. l>ee that lie
had not heen to see hls-slster. but had
l?con ti? Ohio to see lils father who had*]
not soon or heard from hiin in ,11 years
and thought he was dead. He told
Mrs. Lee, of running away from home
when a boy and changing his name,
and that his sister in Michigan was
the only member of thr^ family who
had known his seiTOt. and she had
kept it.
While uu i'his visit to his qui homo
his father gave him $600 to settle up
his debts* unci move back to Bryan.
Ills father advised him to take legal
stops to restore his right name to his
wife and child. Mr. Lec consulted a
lawyer about this here.
The dA.v after his suicide, a letter
arrived here from his father, II. E.
Runge, of Bryan, Ohio, enclosing a
certificate as to his son's correct name,
to he used in the proceedings to restore
the name of Runge to his wife and
child. His father expressed the hope
that he and his family would be with
them before Christmas. f
Mrs. Lee's only brother. W. 10. Har
bor of Four Oaks .N .('.. arrive<l in
Bennottsviilo yesterday to attend to
nomu business fur his sister. Her
father and mother are both dead, and
she has four sisters. Mr. Barber asks
The Advocatt to express the earnest
thanks of his sister and himself for
the grea't and many kindnesses shown
his sister by the people of Bonnetts
ville.
Proceedings have begun at Huiith'
field, the county seat of Johnston
county, in which Four Oaks is situat
ed. to have the name of Mrs. Loo and
the little girl changed to Runge. They
ex|>ect to aeocpt an invitation revived
from her hunband's people to spend
Christmas with them at Bryan, which
is the county scat of Williams county,
in the extreme north western part of
Ohio, adjoining Indiana and Michigan.
It seems that the money which Mr.
Leo received from his father was used
In paying debts and expenses. Over
$200 of it was payed to a bank. It did
not go as far as he expected, and it is
believed that, after all had expired,
lie concluded to die rather than go and
tell bis wife that bis plans lrad failed
and they could not cot away to tro to
hi- people.
