GIVES ALL HE MAKES | COVENANT HADE YEARS AGI TO BE FULFILLEI MONEY GOES TO CHURCH ? at the Flnrt o4 tk? Tear ^ All the Earnings of Twenty-One l?'?m-<Vnt Ktorm of H. R. Duke in Tecae Will be Given by HAra to Charity. The Atlanta Journal eaye that H. Z. Duke, who went west from Car.,nii /*i? _ i /?- * - iuii wvuuiy, ou., 10 grow up will! the country, has covenanted to dovole his twenty-one nickel stores to <Jod. Ho and his wife agreed with their consciences three years ago to turn the earnings of his stores to the usee ?f Cbristianity when his savings ahould amount to $ 100,000. He then had $50,000. Within a year he had $75,000; within another year his savings were little short of $100,000; last year the sum he named was completed, and d the lirst day of this year he entered upon his covenant. As he explained Wednesday morning at the homo si his brother-in-law, A. P. Morgan, at Oakland Oily, he will conduct the tweuty-eno nickel Btores during the remainder of his life, purely in the interest of God. K very penny earned from the candles, (he toys, (he thousand and one things of a nickel store, will be used in the Christian church. These stores will support missionaries, they will pay tho salaries of ministers, they will comfort the needy, they will furnish the lessons of Christianity to the untaught. The nickel stores scattered through Texas will spread a Christian influence throughout tha states acd to foreign lands. Mr. Duke married in Carroll Conn ty years ago, and set forth for the west to find a young man's country. With $700 ho entered business. His ono-reom store vau the size of a close-in modern flat and his stock In trade would furnish one counter of the smallest of his twouty-one nickel *tor<?. It,lit even then he gave a tenth of his earnings to Christian work. Bit hy bit tho store grew, and finally other nickel stores of H. Z. Duke's appeared in other western towns. They seemed to meet with instant success. Wherever he established a nickel store he prospered. And aa lye prospered he increased his gifts to the church. "I believe,'' ho said Wednesday mornin#, "that these gifts wore the secret of my success. They taught mjo many things. Thoy Impressed upon mo the value of money; they convinced me of tho necessity of method and system in all tilings; they showed me how essential it is i to have more than petty interests. "At last I decided that I had earned enough, and I told iny wife that whatever else I earned shoulud be ! giveu to the church and work of the church. She agreed that when I had i $100,(100 I should stop earning monrsy for myself or for any one but God, and we made a covenant of that sort. I am now keeping it. "Dast. year I made something over | $24,000, and I think that by Increasing the number of my stores I can increase these earnings to $30,000 or $4 9,000 a year, all of whtch shall be used as I have agreed. "I am a member of the First baptist church of Dallas. I am sixty years old and I Joined the church at the age of thirty-five years. During a large part of my life I have devoted a part of my means to the church. "When I first went west I met a man, a lawyer, named R. D. Rudy, who gave a tenth of his income to Church work, lie gave with such Utile effort, and got such good from liis giving that my pastor, Mr. McOonnoll, and myself decided we would do the same thing. Wo were not willing to let any one else get more out. of religion than we did. So we also began tithing, and I found that this giving to God was the greatest experience of my life. No man, no .matter what his condition, what his responsibilities, should give loss than one-tenth to the church. Only then van he know the full benefits of religion. "Aa I made more money I save more. From a tenth, I Increased my gifts to a seventh, then to a fifth, and now to all. During the first yoar lhat 1 begin systematically giving to the church my offorlng amounted to $110; second year, $154; third, $360; fourth, $88; fifth, $530; sixth, $f>62, seventh, $550; eighth, $250; ninth, $550; tenth, $1,040; eleventh, $050; twelfth, $1,123; thirteenth, j $1,221; fourteenth, $1,143; fifteenth, $2,472; sixteenth, $3,378; seventeenth, $1,604; eighteenth, $2,300.'' In a pamphlet published by him at the request of the Tlaptist laymen of Texas, he gives his experience of "Fifteen Years or Timing. "I havo tried (lie Lord in this busiinos v/ay," ho says, "and I would no more quit tithing than I would quit providing for my family. Tithing has systematized our business as j nothing else ever did. It is worth all ( it has cost us, Just for this one thing; | GIRL TRAVELS AS HOBO SHE PASSED HERSELF OFF AS A MAN ON THE ROAD. Her Sex Wm Only Discloeed When She Objected to Take a Bath at a Rent Home. Masquerading as a hobo in order to reach the bedside ot her eiek mother, Mies Edith Pogue, the nineteen-year-old daughter of Henry Pogue, of MayerlUe, Ky., was taken into custody by the police at night when her sex was discovered upon hof rofnotil tntrA a hnth a ft nhfi had applied at the Wayfarers' Rest for shelter at Louisville, Ky. Mies Pogue traveled from Cairo, 111., to St. I>ouis, and from St. Ix>uis to Louisville over the Louisville and Nashville railroad, a 600 mile trip that It took four days to make. All of the last day she held to the rods, standing on the bumpers, with the rain beating mercilesslly down upon her until the water literally ran in streams from her clothing. Frank O'Brien, 21, accompanied the girl from Evansvillo to Louisville, but thought she was a man. O'Brien was astounded when ho heard that 1 "Willie Anderson", as he knew Miss Pogue, was a girl. "Don't think hard of me," the young woman said to a reporter, "I 1 was working in Cairo when I heard that my mother was dangerously 111 at home in Maysvillo, Ky. I felt I ought to go homo. I had no money. Then I decided to go home at any cost. "I rigged up in an old suit belong- 1 ing to the man in whoso home I had been working as a nurse girl, and J had my hair cut off. I left Cairo and went to St. Louis. I took the Louisville and Nashville train out for Louisville. It was cold, and most of the time it has been raining. "Mr. O'Brien? lie got on the same train with me at Evansvillo, and 1 knew so much about the road that wo decided to travel together. He ' didn't know that I am a girl. Before I got to Evansvillo I rode part of the way in an engine cab. The < fireman asked me to help shovel coal, ' but I couldn't. He may have guess- 1 ed my secret. He was nice to mo < and didn't put me off. I had a hard 1 time getting anything to eat on my travels. I had little money and I < wouldn't beg." < The Identity of Miss Pogue was discovered, as Btatod, at the Way- furors' Rest when, as Is customary j with new-comers, the young woman was asked to take a bath. A half dozen homeless men were engaged in scouring' themselves in the bath- , rooms, and the attendant met with an absolute refusal from "Willie An- ( derson." At the same time he notlc- . od the crimson color mounting tho ( "tramp's" cheeks. Coupling the re- | fusal, blush and the soft musical voice of tho supposed young man , to-gether, the attendant guessed the j stranger's sex. From appearance with her face covered with grime for four days' | riding on freight trains, the wayfarer ( is a man. Rut tho instant she ra- 1 moves her cap or speaks suspicion 's aioused. After tho girl had washed her face all doubt was removed. * < I OIItL WAS 80I.J) TO GYPSY. For Whom She Says She Worked For ( Right Ixrng Years.

Tho dead man was quite wellto-do, and, except for a son who has not been heard of in a number of years, Harry is his only child or heir. There was a rain Friday and when Sheriff Fant early Saturday morning examined the premises ho found that tho assassin had stood behind a clump of evergreens close to the house and fired a big charge of slugs and bullets into the. old man's head; the trail led to and from this point to a blacksmith shop. Robert Coleman's gun had been in this shop. During the night Harry Coleman got this gun, it is said, and took it to the house of a neighbor, and when examined Saturday morning one of the barrels was wet and showed every sign of having been recently fired. The tracks in the soft mud fitted the shoes of Harry Coleman, it is said, exactly. Dogs were sent to the icene from Columbia Saturday morning. Thoy took up the trail and wont over it.
