At the advanced age of eighty.fve years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McAIillen is pioneer
citizen Of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMiller has fol-
lowed the trade Of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity Of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students OF that institution.
About year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously ILL For months he was
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter.
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
