Montour American. C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Dec. 13, 1906. LINCOLN FARM A number of our citizens are being enrolled as honorary members of the Lincoln Farm association, a patriotic organization iormed by American citizens for the purpose of preserving as a National Park tie farm on which Abraham Lincoln was born. On August 28, 190f>, the birth-place of Lincoln—a farm of 110 acres iu the blue grass region of Kentucky—was put up at public auction to be sold for taxes. All but one of the bidders rep resented some business concern trying to secure the property for advertising purposes or private speculation The farm was purchased by Robert J. Collier aud is now in the hands of an association of patriotic citizens. There are wealthy men who would gladly give all the money needed to carry out this plan, but as Lincoln wa« a man of the whole people it is believed that this memorial should be a work of the people. Upon contribut ing any sum between 25 ceuts aud s2o a person becomes an houorary member of the Lincoln Farm Association and will receive a handsomely engraved certificate filled in with his name— aud it is all the same whether he gives 25 cents or |35. The matter of receiving subscrip tions is left in the hands of I. X. Grbr, Efq., and those who wish to become members may enroll their names at the First National Bank for the present; later on the paper will be placed at some other central point The Lincoln farm plan is endorsed by President Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland. Mark Twaiu, who is one of the board of Trustees, indulges in this characteristic remark: "The government is spending mil lions every year on agricultural .col leges aud model farms to teach the art of raising more corn aud squashes. In the present political, moral aud social atmosphere of the American people tnere is nothing in that line that can compare with this little model farm that raised a man." !>/'< fait : i ii. .r.-d Dollar-.

CANNOT FURNISH PIPE The borough of Danville has been notified that the D. L. & W. railroad company, which promised to procure the iron pipe needed for the eewer to be laid under its track at Church street, owing to the scarcity of the exact size wanted, will he unable to furnish the pipe without considerable delay. It is very desirable that the sewer should be completed before winter sets in aud rather than run the risk of be ing held up with the work until too late the borough has decided to pro cure and pay for the pipe itself. Ac cordingly an order has been placed with the Danville Foundry aud Mach ine company, which will iiave the pipe ready to deliver by the last of next week. The pipe, which will be twen ty-four inches in diameter, will be cast in three joints each about five feet long. By the time the pipe is finished Sup erintendent P. J. Keefer will have the excavation completed, which will consist of a tunnel under the D. L. & W. track. Beyond that point the full completion of the job will be the mat ter of only a few days' time. STOLE WAGON AND LOAD OF GOODS Word was received from Lykens by local officers yesterday morning that a wholesale robbery had been com mitted in that place Tuesday night, aud that the supposed robbers were last seen fleeing in this direction. At about midnight several unknown parties with an auger and bit manag ed to break open a back window in T A. Hensel's department store, the largest establishment in that vicini y. Once inside they ransacked the pla •= of all the valuables it contained. They filled a Dayton wagon wnich they had outside with costly furs, jewelry, suit cases and other articles to the value of almost 112 HiOO. Several residents of Lykens, return ing home at a late hour, saw the men driving rapidly out of town, but did not recognize them. The Dayton wag on, the bay horse and the stolen goods are the only clues which the police have with which to trace the robbers. MOVING BACK TO DANVILLE Since the starting up of the Readiug Iron works especially during the pres ent week, there has been a steady in flux of people into town, aud from general appearances in a short time there will not be an empty house. It Is a well known fact that after the shut down at the Reading iron works a good many families moved away. On Welsh Hill, especially, a number of compauy houses were vac ant and boarded up during the sum mer. These are the dwellings that are now mostly being occupied and mov ings are of almost daily occurrence, i Some of the families formerly lived hete and are merely returning witn the advent of better times. Others are itraugers who have been attracod by news of resumption and want to try their fortus«a in a caw field IS. KREBS !S nous wd That Mrs. Elizabeth Krebs, the Northumberland woman who is under S6OO bail to appear in this city at the Jauuarv term of cjurt to answer to the charge of shoplifting, is in a critical condition sufferiug from a nervous breakdown that borders on prostration, is the statement of Mr. Frank Frolich, a cousin of Mrs. Krebs, who was in this city yesterday. Mr. Frolich is from Geneva, New York, and his trip to this city yester day had to do with business connected with the proceedings that have been instituted against Mrs. Krebs and her companion, Mrs. Laura Hair. During his stay in Danville he made a call a the this office. In conversation with i one of the reporter he described Mrs Krebs' condition as most pitiful. She will hold conversation with no one and spends most of her time alone brood ing over the disgrace that lias come to her. Any attempts to address her or to console her only serve to induce fresh outbursts of grief. Mr. Frolich stated that her friends fear that in cue of the attacks of melancholia. Mrs. Krebs will take her own life. Mr. Frolich attributed the misdo ings of the two women to strong drink and insisted the story to be true that was told by Mrs. Krebs to a News re porter at the jail, about taking the proffered sip of brandy on the train be tween here and Northumberland, and this leading to more drinking, which so beunmbed the women's sense of right that the final fall from grace in this city caine but as the natural and un avoidable sequence In regard to Mrs. Laura Harr, of whom it was stated in the News sev eral days ago, that she had disappeared from Northumberland, Mr Frolich said that it is true that she is not in Northumberland nor yet. in Sunbury, but that she is within easy distance and can be called on short notice. About Teachers' Resolutions. The "Men and Matters About the State"man on the Philadelphia In quirer has the following interesting remarks to make in connection with the resolutions passed and the resolu tion not passed by the Montour coun ty institute in session in this city last week: Whatever people may think of the resolutions adopted by the Montoui county public school teachers in their forty-first annual convention tliev will at least be compelled to thins some thing. The Montour teachers are not down on their knees begging for pen sions when their time of usefulness has departed. They want salaries now, s ilaries out of which they may save enough to care for themselves when they are old aud worn out, and there is reason in their demand. In the clipping which has been forwarded to us there is, unfortunately, no mention of which carried, the resolutions of which we have spoken or the amend ment indorsing Superintendent Schaef fer's theory of a pension. What we favor is an increase of the salaries of teachers, independently of any pen sion, and a proportionate increase in their qualifications for their work. Hie time has gone by when anybody can reach the district school, no mat ter where he boards. The most important provision of the peusiou law which it is proposed to submit to the next legislature is that to which tlio Montour county teachers object. In order that the issue may be fairly understood The Inquirer here reprints the so-called "pensional pro vision. " All teachers, principals, supervisors and superintendents who have taught in the public schools for a period of not less than thirty years, twenty of which shall have been in the public schools of Pennsylvania, may be retir ed un an annuity equal to half the average salary received during the five years of employment immediately pre ceding such retirement, and this an nuity shall not be less than £2OO nor more than st>oo in any one year. As between the action taken by the Montour teachers, who want their money now, and the provision of the act which the next legislature will be asked to pass there is a sharp differ ence. We say frankly that there are arguments on bot'i sides. But which do the teachers,the parties in immedi ate inter -t. lavoi: ft is theirs to say. It i to .. • regr» !De<t that the ; ;son who >< it tlie clipping to the Inquirer did not send the whole clippiug so that the "Men and Masters About the State"man could have enlightened himself as to whet tier the resolution or the amendment passed the institute. Quito large and appreciative audi ences are assembling each evening at tiie Mahoning Presbyterian church, , where evangelistic meetings are in progress. Rev. Edward A. Louxof the Presbyterian church of Berwick, who is very popular with Danville audi ences is the preacher this week. Rev. Loux though a young man, is a force ful preacher of the plain gosjiel. His sermons have been very highy appreci ated and lie has done much good. Quito a number have already united with the church. On account of the approaching Christinas season the meet in<s will close Fridty evening. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observed in the church next Sab bath morning, at which time the new members will be received. Preaching at Exchange. On Sunday evening at 7 :3'> o'clock Rev. Kohler, of Strawberry Ridge, will preach in the Odd Fellows hall at Exchange. Moved to Johnson Farm. Yesterday Adam Flickinger of Straw berry Ridge, moved onto the Frank Johnson farm, about a quarter of a mile out from Strawberry Ridge. While Mis. Tillie Handwork and family were visiting a neighboring farmer at Pleasant Corner, Lehigh county, Johnny Fritzinger, an adopt ed sou of Mrs. Handwork set fire to H \ straw stack just for fun. The flame»- j spread to the barn,destroying it, with I four horses, eight cows and a lot of' pigs. Total loss, £O,OOO. 112 While They 1 Waited By Virginia Leila Wentz Copyright, IMAS, by C. H. SutclLfla -• —-—A He jumped out of the little country rig, leaving It In the hands of a freckle faced boy, aud rushed up to the ticket office Just as his train was pulling out from the station. "Pshawl" he exclaimed irascibly, and theu to the sleepy looking, contented ticket agent, "When does the next train leave for New York?" "1 wo hours," replied that individual laconically. Maverick Oliver wasn't a man to cry over spilled milk, lie sat himself philosophically down In a shady recess of the waiting room and extracted a notebook. He would look over some memoranda he had jot®nl down for his solicited article for the Review and then take a stroll along tho country hedges. There seemed to be a ratber attractive hit of woodland just beyond. ''How long must I wait for eouneo tlon.s for Rosecliff?" Something in the woman's voice, half contralto, half alto, made the man with the notebook suddenly start. He'd been so en grossed ly conning his mem oranda that lie had scaot-ely noticed the incoming train, with all its attend ant hustle. Now. however, a single woman's voice made him start aud caused the Review urticlo to be as far from his thoughts as the military af fairs of nations B. C. The woman's back was turned to ward Oliver, but he knew It was Elea nor. Who else In all the world had that queenly carriage, that soft slopo of shoulder, that bewitching mass of colled chestnut hair? "For Rosecliff?" came the ticket agent's monotonous voice as he caress ed his wrinkled forehead with the back of his hand. "A half hour, ma'am Train's sixteen minutes late." The woman turned impatiently away from the window. It was then they came face to face. "You!" cried Oliver, springing up. She stood there in the barren waiting room, filling its emptiness with tho richness of her charm. To the man's hungry eyes sh<* was food of the most satisfying as well as of the most deli cate sort. She did not hold out l.er hand. Never theless she encountered him not in her old imperious fashion, hut with a smile Including 111 in in some mood too large to be wholly personal. "How you have changed. Eleanor!" he cried Involuntarily. "Are you, too, waiting for a train?" she answered softly in return. "In which direction do you go?" "South—to New York." said Oliver. "And you?" "To Kosecliffe, fourteen miles east." Oliver took her umbrella and tint suit ease from her. and then they walked slowly n;i and down the plat form together, man and woman, in stead of husband and wife, held apart by some strfptre tiat they had both ac cepted In tin* fields, all around, the butter cups were golden and tli ■ wild carrot was in white, lacelike flower. Over In tb® woods beyond some song birds, waking from their summer siesta, were beginning to warble. A group of trav eling men was lounging <.n the railing at the far end of the platform, ex pectorating copiously to punctuate tho points in their stories Oliver dusted the platform steps at the other end of the walk with his handkerchief, and the woman sat se renely down, her delicate profile out lined against the < ieir blue of the sky like some exquisite cameo. She had always been beautiful, though. It wasn't that which made the man ex claim again irreprcssfbly: "You've changed so. Eleanor!" It was true. It was no mere fancy of his Imaginative writer's eye that discov ered new meanings in the face before hlm. It had undergone a vague but very gracious transformation. "Chanced?" repeated she. with a curious tenderness. "I've tried to change—tried, do you understand? Since last winter, when we agreed to separate. I've been trying—so hard. Maverick—to take control of my own stunted nature, turn it where It twists"— "!>enr," broke in Oliver, with a bit ter OUUIiiH.., w'b nwtr nnu iv u.u.ui both, do you hear? And I'm afraid you've been cleverer than I If you've unsnarled things where they failed to fit the pattern. I've not changed much, I'm afraid." Under her black lushes the woman smiled at him with a reverence h« might have translated (had he been high plumedt as some loyal acquies cence in his former state. What Oli ver felt now, however, was curiosity In his young wife, not in himself. So— "Tell me," he burst forth, "what has changed you so?" She rolled up her absurd little hand kerchief into a string and, throwing it over lier Knee, pulled It unconsciously by both ends, gazing steadfastly into the blue distance above Oliver's head. "1 don't know whether I ought to tell you." she began. Oliver recalled that delicious little habit she used to have of tempting the fates shyly, of hesitating when she meant to be right down outrageous. "Of course you ought." he urged. "You always do in the end, you know, nnd it will save time." T'nder her playfulness he had allowed himself to grow light hearted. "Well, then" she began, but her voice ir.iiicd off vaguely. Her cheeks took on a pinker bloom; she forgot the handkerchief and tlni-died her thesght with a mature dignity that became h« like the armor of her sex. "•»ur little boy. Maverick our Hide I ny hi - changed me." "Ah! Our boy" Oliver broke off abruptly, for something had suddenly chnciic.l him by Hie throat. The v. mar hastily brushed her tears aw.i, :id went on practically: i:' I be proud of him, Maverick— ich strong, agile limits and he hits the will of a litlle savage." "Let in** see," Oliver said brusquely, stooping over the platform's edge and plucking a buttercup stalk that had imbillously gr >w n up from the gravel "He must be eleven months now." "Yes. He was live when—when you last saw him." She kept her eyes de liberately li vd upon the high railroad trestles hi the blue distance. "Do you know, he's been such a help to me. I've told him all the things I wanted to tell you -told hlm that his mother had been a viin. silly, girlish tyrant wh », coming Iraight from the convent, want m 1 to have everything this world had to give money, fame, position— ail those things that are bought in the mark t place and had wanted to buy thorn with li> f>ii<- ' ■ • nr" Ovc!" t'.H* t : tic: «)! tllf incoming tx.; li s V'jere were the nauc.l byjtla «uiJ 1 . ad 112 fro OD the platform, seizing of hand ; bags, carting of truubs. and so on. Whatever swift, mutual, soul revela tions Oliver and his wife bad been on the point of making dissolved Into nothingness. Jarred by the prosaic com motion of traffic. if was a pity, too, for with Eleanor's last words her face had melted into a pliant sweetness, her exquisite mouth had taken on sud don quivering llttlo curves. She had seemed about to say, "Ambition, self -1 ishness, the cruelty of pride—all these things have gone. Maverick." ; She didn't say that, however. In stead she rose from the wooden step j which her husband had dusted "or her. j "I'm glad you found me chang she said merely. Something it. th man's j honest soul overflooded. "I, too—T. too.

There was a mfused sound of j greeting to the passengers who had alighted an<£ the clamor of hotel run ners and bus drivers. "Now, tl»cn, step lively!" cried the brakeman as the last much bundled old woman descended, allowing the impatient, traveling men to climb aboard. Oliver and his wife were the last of the crowd. He helped her aboard, found her chair for her in the parlor car. then turned miserably to meet her eyes. "All aboard!" came the strident voice of the conductor. The train be gan to move almost imperceptibly. "Goodly!" orie.l Oliver, battling with Rtronc emotion, but conscious of the Increasing movement of the train. Then ai he bent over her seat (h« woman h\i<l a trembling hand on his arm, arid In :• eyes were brimming with slow tears. "Good'jj, Maverick"; Don't you want 1o so with me to our beby?" "Good heavens! K Tea nor, do I want to?" Some lonely passengers at ihe other end of the oar wondered what bad sud denly illumined the man's handsome face with that electric thrill of Joy. Then the telegraph poles began to whiz by. Oliver had forgotten New York. V Surfeit of Orator}*. One of the mistaken theories is that a "public speaker" is necessary to the success of any public affair. This the ory bad its rise at a time when oratory was a fad. Orators were cultivated, find they were supposed to take hu man passions in their hands and toy with tiietn. In this practical age pub lic speakers are ft bore, and nobody cares anything about them. People prattler to le entertained and not lec tured. Bui. this theory having been established t'>;t a "public speaker" is important to a picnic, an orator is hauled out and set loose on a few old gentlemen with canes and a few moth ers who must occupy the benches In taking care of the children.—Sabetha Herald.

This one was gold, a small, insidious gold wire affair, very cheap and very dainty. The laugh was gone from her Hps. in its place was a look of wonderment, ■ iof almost fear. There had been a wo- I ' man in Hugh's studio, a woman with j blond hair, who wore gold wire hair- j pins, who dropped gold wire lalrplns around promiscuously. And Hugh had told her he never painted the figure, i More than that, he had told her that : no one knew of his den In the attic ex cept herself and a few close friends. He had no patrons, no buyers of plc -1 tures, because as yet he had never sold any. All of his relatives were in Eu rope too. If the hairpin did not belong to a model, whom did it belong to? With a sudden fierce impulse, she threw the hairpin away from her. It I fell with a tiny clink against the wall. Almost instantly she had repented. 1 After all, it was purely a personal affair with Hugh, in which she had no part. He had not expected her to visit his studio. fihe had no right to resent another element of femininity which she had found there. Even If he did have models It was probably necessary. All artists had to study from life sooner or later. But was It necessary that they should have hair that matched gold hairpins'? She arose and crossed the room to where the hairpin had fallen. For a moment she held if In her hand irreso lute. Then slowly she laid it on his table, and beside it she left the uew solitaire ring. It would be enough. She knew that he would understand. As she turned to the door her eyes tilled with a sudden rush of blinding tears, and as she felt for the latch it lifted and the door opened. It was not Asquith. On the landing outside stood a girl, plump, rosy cheek ed and red haired, holding up her skirts in one hand and a pail of scrub | water In the other. "Oh, I thought Mr. Asquith was home," she said apologetically. "I Just cleaned up his [dace, ma'am, and I guess 1 lost one of my hairpins, it's a little wire one, but I need it to keep my pug up tight." "I laid it on the table," said lleleue I gently. The girl set the pail down on ! the stairs and secured the h.iirpln, fas : toning up her tumbling red cm-is -.nth it deftly. "Thank you, ma'am." she called as ! she went downstairs, and Helen? went back to the table and slipped the ring in Its old place Just as Asquith came up the stairs. BIRTH OF A HYMN. Vtor> of Ihe O rite 111 ol '-In the By mill By." j A song of national circulation. "11l the Sweet l'v and By," written by S. Fillmore Bennett of Eikhorn. Wis., had its birth in a country store. Mr. Ben nett told the story, which is given in "Wisconsin In Three Centuries," as fol lows: It was about time ior closing busi ness in the evening when J. I'. Web ster, whose melodies have made Wis consin famous, came into the store, feeling somewhat depressed. I said to Webster, "What is the mat ter now?" lie replied, "It is no matter; It will be all right by and by." The idea of the hymn came to me like a flash of sunshine, aud I replied: "The sweet t>y aud by. would not that make a good hymn?" "Maybe it would,'* he said indiffer ently. I then turned to my desk and penned the bviun as fast as I could write. 1 handed it to Mr. Webster. As he read 1 it his eyes kindled and his whole de ' meauor c hanged. Stepping to the desk, j lie began writing the notes instantly. In a few moments he requested Mr. Bright to hand him his violin, and he ' played with little hesitation the beau ' tiful melody from the notes. A few ' U'oments later he had jotted down the notes for the different parts and the chorus. 1 do not think ii was more than thir j ty liii. ulcs from the time I took my pencil 1o writ-- the words before the ' hymn an the notes had all been com 1 plet I aud • ■ r of us were singing It oxa« ; 1 ' pes red in the Signet ' King a few (lavs later and as It has been v.in'.* ' /I I o. or ever since.
