Established 1875 LESSON LEARNED IN REVOLT SAVES MISSION $650 A YEAR Handy Man Reformed After Being Called “Dirty Bum.” Despite His Economy, Insti- tution Is in Need of $9,872. It took a revolution and nine days in jail to convince Albert Murphy that “clothes make the man,” and today that lesson, learned back in 1911, is worth exactly $650 a year to the Central Union Mission where he is engineer, | fireman, launderer and mechanic. Murphy has seen life in all moods. He's been to sea in ship bottoms and on ship decks. He's surveyed and he has soldiered. He has made plenty of money and he's been broke as any bum. | He even thought of being a clergyman, It was down in Mexico, though, that he learned his lesson, which he prac-| tices now for the benefit of the local mission. Murphy was working with a surveying party. It was along about 1911, and Madero, to your views, was shooting it up against Diaz. The general’s men enveloped the | and a month ago.

And his thinking was along | Mexican patriot and bandit, according | the lines of personal appearances. | Murphy came to Washington a year | He wanted a job | surveyors, and some of them joined up|and somebody said they needed a fire- with the “army.” They fought a while. Murphy and two pals then went A. W. They were pretty sorry looking when they pulled into the American consulate. ‘The consul looked Murphy over when he presented his citizenship credentials and promptly called hlm a “dirty American bum.” Murphy “made a pass” at the consul. He admits he didn't do much man at the Central Union Mission. | Now he either has forgotten how to | count or he has quit counting days, | for he’s still with John S. Bennett, su- | perintendent of the mission, helping to keep things going. Murphy saw that laundry bills was costing a_pretty penny. The Woman's Guild of the mission donated a washing machine and Murphy installed it. He has been doing all that laundry him- self since then, and it was estimat conservatively ihat he is saving the mullzslon Jjust $650 a, year on laundry But despite Murphy’s labors and his savings for the mission, $9,872 is needed for current expenses. It isn't a “drive,” the mission’s putting it—it never cam- paigns for its regular budget funds—it is simply the annual a 1 for money with which to carry on and to defray its Christman charity costs. el ELECTROCUTED IN LIFT.
