/ 10 L humble pastor in Lebanon County,
| PA. VINO is practically unknown outside the
limits OF his present laboTs- This Is the
Reverend J. A. Bachman Of SchaeHersIown,
v tc - the pastor OF seven separate con-
GfeSaucHs. He is a man Of middle age
with bright, pleasant manner, a PAIR OF
| tUiEkIlns blue eyes and a staiwart form,
I on whose shoulders cares that would over
| whe-m an ordinary man rest as lightly as
! the occupations OF one OF our social dilet-
| tlnu. For twenty-five years the Reverend
| tiT. BdChman has endured trials of work,
! exposure and endurance that would have
proved fatal TO one OF less enduring
! physique or less uplifting zeal
In his earnest, engaging manner. no less
than in his stalwart form. Mr.. Bachman
recalls the early iiinerant preachers of a
century ago. who claimed the wilderness
and its hardy settlers for the Kingdom or
God. Although his beard is streaksd with
gray. and he has accomplished more hard
work than falls TO the lot OF the ordinary
man is still far from having attained the
limit of his abilities.
The scene Of the Reverend Mr.. Bach
mans activities IS one Of the upland coun-
ties Of Southeastern PENNSYLVANIA, on the
slope Of the Blue Ridge range His seven
/; congregations are All small backwoods
churches. difficult and at times almost i'm
possible OF access. Nevertheless, in the
course OF his twenty-five years or service

bored. he has done more actual ministerial
work than almost any divine who presides
over a single opulent and thiekly populated
parish
lie mas driven 66,0D0 miles. at rough esti-
mate, in the discharge OF his pastoral du-
ties. has delivered nearly $3.50 sermons and
addresses. has baptized almost 2,Vo persons
and has Joined in we,il0ck oyer 1.V00 couples.
In fact, the majority of persons living in
I at section o. Lebanon County to which
his IabOrs are confined are Indebted TO him
for the discharge of one or another or
the ordinary ministerial functions.
All the congregations to which the Rev.
erend Mr.. BaChman ministers are off the
line Of RAILROAD. which bisects Lebanon
County. To reach them he is forced 30
travel over rough and hilly country roads.
which az certain seasons Of the year are
almost impossible Nevertheless. through
deep mud and deeper snow, in storm and
sunshine. in heat and cold, hs has gone his
rounds faithfully. and se.cOm indeed has
he missed an appointment for which he
was scheduled. More eloquent than any of
his sermons - the example set by his daily
life OF constant effort and SteadfaSt devO-
ti.r to :he cause Of which he is the repre-
sentative.

Paved Up the Ground and Re.
vra!cd Rich Deposits.

Tha animal with th- gazeile-iike eyes,
the SarLonic smile and the wicked pair OF
heels--the male-is responsible for the trip
ci! excitement in jackson County. writes
BTownstown. Ind, correspondent 10 the
Chicago Record. The story of how the mule
once did good is an interesting Ole. A II.
seven miles north OF here. recently hitched
a team OF mules under g tree by the banks
Of Salt Creek. The mules were attacked
by flies. and In their frantic efforts TO drive
them off they paved up the ground When
the farmer returned he found peculiar
blush dust enveloping the animals. and on
the ground was a heap of sand as fine as
-four. He became Interested In the find and
SO sent bottle OF the sand to State Geolo-
Eist B!atChisy, who soon sent back word
that IL was tripOlis worth between "a and IS
ton. Mr.. Harbaugh examined his own
land and found that great deposits were on
his farm. His neighbors. becoming inter-
ested have done the same. and number
of them have been fortunate enough to find
several small beds. The deposit On Har-
baugh's farm is more than thirty-siX inches
thick.
there are but three eXtensv. beds in the
United states. The largest bed is in New
ton County Missouri. and another extern
sive bed IS in West Virginia The people
OF jackson County claim theirs is tire only
deposit in this region Of the country, but
this is wrong. In Perry County, near ST.
Meinrad. there is splendid deposit but 1t
son County. however. are easily reached
for the Southern Indiana Railway is near
by.
TripOli is used mainly for the purpose OF
polishing. Ii is rather hard, but it has not
sufficient grit to cut metal or glass sur
faces II Is claimed the Ncuetians were
the first to use tr.poh. 1t is often called
rotten stone" but its technical name
comes from the word Tripnli, in which
country ii was first obtained. Tripoli is
principally a silica. and il Is formed from
the shells OF microscopic organisms, ac-
cumulated in oceans. and at wide intervals
dr!fted. forming a deposit Another use in
found tFiDrli II
was for some time used as an absorbent in
making high explosives, but in the last few
years Eun-Cotton and other materials have
aupplanted ii. Besides this. tripol Is used
in making soap. and il is claimed that deli
cate flesh is not injured by contact with
the substance.

And when they said. one summer day.
They wanted to go out to pay,
Nurse sail, The sky is not quite clear,
PUT on your rIbbers. Do you hear?'
They did not do as they were told,
And SO, of course, they both took cold.
Dearie / hope you'll not forget
To wear your ruDbers when it's wet.
