MS HIGHLY OF
COMING PASTOR
The Daily Herald, of Litchfield, Il
linois, in which city Rev. .T. H. Mus
selman, who has just accepted a call
to the Pine Street Lutheran church,of
Danville, has been located for the past
four years, speaks in the following
glowing terms of the man who is soon
to come here:
"The religious circles of the city
Vrere greatly surprised this morning j
when it became known that Rev. J. j
H. Musselman yesterday tendered his j
resignation as pastor of the English
Lutheran church, the same to take ef
fect October 24, that being the day he
is to give his farewell sermon.
" The announcement comes as a shock I
to the congregation, it being known
that their pastor had received five j
different calls during his four years |
here and that lie had refused to accept J
any of them.
"The resignation has not been ac
cepted and the congregation will hold I
a business meeting after the regular j
church service next Sunday morning
at which time it is said that the wishes
of the pastor will be granted. The re
signation was tendered during the
morning service yesterday and was the
cause of pathetic scenes. Those in at
tendance at the service were unpre
pared for the announcement and the
members became visibly affected.
"Mr. Musselman says that he has
accepted a call to the Lutheran church
at Danville, Penn. ,and that he begins
his new work on November I.
"Litchfieldians will be sorry to lose
Rev. and Mrs. Musselman. They came
to Litchfield January 1, 1905, and have
been identified witli every forward
movement of the city. Mr. Musselman
Sprang into popularity almost im
mediately and is now probably the
most popular Protestant minister in
the city. For the past three years he
lias acted as platform manager of the
Litehfield-Hillsboro chautauqua, a j
position he lias filled with much cred
it. He has also been identified in local |
Masonic circles. As a minister, speak- j
er, toastmaster and general allround
dispenser of good fellowship Mr. Mus- j
selman had but few equals in this
community and he will be greatly j
missed."

The Art of Saving.
I believe that if somebody could ln
rer,t unique ways of saving money the
public would have an assured future.
Men, women and children would re
gard saving as a game and play it
with all their heart. There are penny
savings banks where newsboys and 1
bootblacks carry their tiny savings, but
other children regard their penny bank j
at home with unfriendly eyes. There
ure working girls who put away their
five cent pieces and fatten their small
bank accounts by walking instead of
riding and making other petty sacri
fices. But the majority of working
girls spend as fast as they can earn
and declare that they cannot help it.
One reads of a man who began his
career by regarding every dollar as a
worker and getting all the profit he
could. With that quaint conceit in his
head saving became a pleasure, and he
won riches without realizing that it
was a struggle. I know of more than
one woman who receives each night
from her husband every dime he has
received in change through the day.
for he is careful to avoid spending (
such a piece of money. These, with !
her own savings in the same direction,
make a respectable weekly showing.— '

BURGLAR'S COOL
HEADED ACT
A bold ami nearly successful attempt
to rob Fallon's establishment, Mill
street, was made Tuesday morning,
the burglar, who had already entered
the store, being surprised by Night
Watchman Byerly while in the act of
taking the cash register apart.
| The night watchman was making his
round when he detected some one in
the store. It was about :t o'clock in the
morning and although the hour was
very early Mr. Byerlv's impression was
that it was Mr. Fallon himself prepar
ing for the day's business. Trying the
front door he found it open and he
stepped inside, remarking that it was
an early hour to begin business,
j At his juncture the man who was
j working at the cash register in the
j center of the store,dropped to a stoop
j iug posture and very effectually con
! e.ealed by the counters made a dash for
the rear end of the store. The night
watchman at once took in the situa
tion and ran after the fellow. The bur
glar on reaching the rear end of the
j store and finding that he was pursued
I quickly turned and dashed out of the
| front door with the watchman in pur
j >uit. The burglar, however, got the
I start of the night watchman ami sue
| reeded 111 making his escape.
! The proprietor of the store was noti
! lied. All investigation showed that the
I burglar had forced an entrance through
a window on tile side of the building
next to the D. L . & \V. track, opening
into the apartment at the rear of the
store. A wire screen that protected the
building on the outside was partially
removed ami the lower sash was forc
ed up about three-fourths of its height.
The window was also protected by
horizontal iron bars securely fastened
to the window frame. These were bent
showing where the burglar, who must
have been a person of small girth, had
crawled through.
The National cash register used at
Fallon's defied the ingenuity of the
burglar. Baffled in an attempt to mas
ter the combination he began to take
the cash register apart and had suc
ceeded in removing some eight or ten
screws when he was surprised by the
night watchman. Had lie succeeded he
would have made a very good haul as
the entire proceeds of Monday's busi
ness was in the register.
The burglar was working in a dim
light thrown from an electric light
bulb overhead. Mr. Byerly has a very
fair idea of the man's appearance and 1
describes him as a person of small
stature wearing a derby hat. This de- I
scription tallies with the apjiearance I
of one of two men, strangers, who were j
observed by Mr. Fallon loitering about
the D. L. & W. crossing on Monday. ;
HERO OF BOXER UPRISING.
How the Late A. F. Chamot Distin
guished Himself In the Pekin Siege.
Auguste F. Chamot, who recently 1
died nt Larkspur, Cal., was the hero '
of the Boxer uprising In China. Ills
life was romantic and adventurous. '
He went to Pekin in 1883, before he 1
was sixteen years old, with only 40 :
cents In his pocket. Missionaries to !
whom ho appealed for aid supplied hlm !
with funds, and he built a small hotel.
It gradually grew into the Hotel de !
Pekin, an establishment of 400 rooms. :
Mr. Chamot distinguished himself in
the siege of Pekin during the Boxer
uprising in .Tune and July, IDOO. Prior
to the siege he had the foresight to lay
In a large store of rice and other food- j
stuffs, which are said to have saved the 1
foreigners in the legation quarter from
starvation.
"In less than twenty-four hours," :
one reads in"The Siege of the Lega j
tions," by Captain D'Arey, "Mr. Cha
mot has been able to And enough food i
to supply 4,200 persons during seventy- j
eight days. As miller, baker, engineer. !
builder of barricades, chief of coolies.!
etc., he has been everything and done
everything through that memorable
siege without the advice of any one."
Mr. Chamot and his wife between
them killed 700 Boxers during the 1
siege. One day he himself killed fifty-1
four, while she killed seventeen in a
single day. They were both wounded J
themselves.
He was In Pekin eighteen years, but'
came to the United States in 1901.

They were very controversial in j
those days.

Made Sure of the Pie.
A young girl who carried her dinner
was observed to eat her pie first.
When asked why, she replied, "Well,

COMMISSIONERS
ACT PROMPTLY
Th.» ix'titiou from the borough coun
cil to the county commissioners order
ed Fiiday night relating to the recon
struction of the East Market street ex
tension under the act of May 1, 1905,
has been followed by prompt action 011
tlie part of the commissioners and un
less unexpected delay occurs it is now j
believed that the road can be macad
amized before winter.
Upon receiving the petition Satur
day morning the county commission
ers at once petitioned the State high
way department to undertake the im
provement of the road, specified in
the petition from the borough, name
ly, a stretch one thousand feet in
length lying between Foust street in
the borough and the macadam 011 the
East Market street extension built by
the State.
If the petition is accepted and ap
proved, as tin* next step an engineer j
will be sent here by the State High- j
way Department to make the neces- [
sary survey. Advertisements for the j
reconstruction and improvement of the |
road under the provisions of the act |
must be given by the State Highway j
Commissioner not less than twenty i
days before the contract may be award j
eil, by public notice in at least two
newspapers of general circulation.
It is believed that the State High
way Department can be induced to
act promptly in the matter, taking the
successive steps without any unueces- j
sary loss of time, which will make it
possible to award the contract and go !
011 with the reconstruction of the road
during November.

it was only a matter of time until one
of tlie brown suited warriors should
cross the plate.
In the tenth Thomas reached first on
Splain's error of a bad bouncer, but j
| was caught stealing second. Mackert
struck out and Dooley's pretty hit be
tween left and center was wasted when
Metzler's foul fly was nailed by Pat- i
terson.
In the eleventh Hess drew a pass, !
and circled to third on Lvengood's |
sacrifice,but was caught stealing home j
while Umlauf was striking out
The twelfth, which passed with two !
strike outs and a fiy to center, produc- I
ed nothing that made a noise like a I
score; the crowd was getting a case of I
the nerves and the foot ball players |
were wondering if they could play
| their game by moonlight. But every- !
j body knew that things would have to
1 break soon—it was a survival of the i
fittest and Danville was coming down '
I the home stretch a little stronger tfuin '
the All Stars.
In the thirteenth Mackert got first
j when his grounder went through Ash's !
legs. The Danville left fielder then
j stole second and reached third on a
passed ball, but was caught stealing
home, while Dooley struck out and j
Met/ler flieil out to Gerringer.
The fourteenth opened badly when i
[ Hess struck out, but took on a more 1
interesting look when Livengoinl sing
led to right. He was caught a minute
later on Umlaut's fielders' choice. '
Then while Beard was getting a pres
ent of a base on balls Umlauf stole
j second and third and when Oovleskie's
i drive was juggled for a second by Ash, ;
"Buck" sunk his spikes into the pan I
I with the winning run, and the crowd ;
I surged down on the field to shake !
! hands with the players.
ALL STARS' GREAT GAME
riie All Stars proved their right to
their complimentary name. They play- '
ed remarkably well together,and show- 1
,ed up to their best advantage when I
they were in the greatest danger. They
were picked to include the league's
heaviest hitters. They gave Danville
the hardest tussle of the season and
played a game that will be remember
ed in Danville when the ones who
plavt d it have gone to the big leagues.

DOWRIES FOR UNIONISTS.
National Women's Trade Union League
to Help Its Members.
! Xo longer need young women be de- j
j t erred from joining trades unions by |
I the excuse that they are "about to bo j
1 married." The adoption of a system
j of granting "marriage dowries" to
members of women's unions has been
decided upon by the biennial conven
tion of the National Women's Trade!
Union league, held in Chicago.
The plan, which was adopted to in- |
duce women to join unions of their j
craft, provides that when any member j
of the organization marries she shall 1
be presented with a dowry, the amount |
to be conditional 011 the number of |
years she has been a member.
For the benefit of spinsters and
those who for reasons of their own
may choose to remain single an amend
ment was added to the plan providing
for the payment of "vacation dowers"
to them in lieu of the "marriage dow
ries" they would have received in the !
event they had entered the state of |
conjugal bliss.

Antiquity of Nicknames.
The origiti of the word as well as
| the exact date of appearance of the
' custom of "nicknaming" is unknown,
j Such names are as old at least as the
| most venerable chronicles, for upon
' diving into ancient history we have no
i trouble at all In proving that Plate
' was called the "Attic Bee" and Socra
i tes "Old Flat Nose." There isn't the
least doubt but that many of our sur
i names come from nicknames applied
to our ancestors, such, for Instance, a?
j "Dollarhide." "Oxenrider," "Bright,"
I "Lightfoot," "Walkingshaw," "Bed
j head," "Longman," "Longfellow," etc
Julius Caesar was popularly styled
j "Baldhead." and even the third Itam
j eses is said to have been known by an
I Egyptian word which signifies "limpy."
l [ No one has been able to escape the
i blighting or benign influence of the
1 nickname. Kings, queens, philosophers
divines, statesmen, as well as many
other eminent persons, have been made
to prosper or suffer by having some
appropriate or ridiculous sobriquet be
stowed upon them.
I Remember.
I remember. I remember the house
where 1 was born; the voice of dad
that bellowed forth to rouse mo every
morn; the picnic that I always had
when winter breezes blew to clear the
sidewalk of the snow, the chores I had
j to do I remember, I remember, the
old time days in school, the lickings
that I always got for breaking some
darned rule; the moonlight nights I
used togo out in the old bob sleigh
and hug and kiss the pretty girls be
neath the robes and hay. I remember
I remember, oh, no, I'll not forget; I'd
like to wander back again to those old
days, you bet!— Los Angeles Express.
