He is a member of the Youngwood
United Brethren church. Recently a
series of cottage prayer meetings was
held, and at Mr. McCluckle's sugges
tion It was arranged to pray for his
healing. The Rev. John Watson, pas
tor of the church, with twenty-five
members, went to his home. Mr. Wat
son read from the third chapter of
Acts, where It is recorded that Peter
and John caused the lame man to
walk, and from the fifth chapter of
James, which declares, "The prayer of
faith shall save the sick." The minis
ter and others followed with prayers
for Mr. McCluckle's recovery.
The prayers finished, Mr. Watson
said, "Let us rise and sing 'Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow.'"
To the astonishment of all, Mr. Mc
Cluckle rose with the others, joined in
the singing and then walked about the
room. His recovery is regarded as a
miracle.
$50 FOR SEVEN WINKS.
Following a Custom of Greece Looked
Like Mashing Out In Missouri.
Kansas City, Mo.George Stamatois.
twenty-six years old, 510 Main street,
has not forgotten the customs of his
native Greece. There it seems to be
the fashion to wink at any woman you
want to become acquainted with. The
Greek custom brought Stamatois to
grief In staid Kansas City.
Stamatois entered a department store
the other afternoon. He winked at
six pretty girls to no avail. He wink
ed at a seventh, who promptly seized
him by the arm, showed him store
detective's star and escorted him to a
crossing patrolman.
Stamatois answered a charge of
"mashing" before Justice Charles
Clark, acting judge, in the north side
court here soon after.
"That winking trick's a favorite over
in Greece, judge," Stamatois said.
