Stepped Against a Hot Stove,

A child Of Mrs. Geo. Il. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against a
hot stove which burned him severely.
The child was in great agony and his
mother conld do nothing to pacify
him. Remembering that she had a
bottle OF Chamberlain's Pain Balm
in the house, she thought she would
try it. In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet and
asleep. Mr.. Kellar is a we'll known

EDITOR MILFORD CHRONICLE:
DEAR SIR Will you kindly
permit me to speak, through your
paper, to those who slander the in
nocent The Bible teaches that a
slandeTer is as vile in Gods sight
as a murderer and a robber, and
that a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches Now
who would not make an effort to
defend themselves from either a
robber or a murderer And ct
we keep silent and let slander stalk
boldly in our midst for years, max
ing no effort to bring the culprits
to justice, and but feeble efforts to
stop his progress. At least. I have
quietly submitted to all manner of
vile lies for the past few years,
hoping they would become so
ashamed that they would cease.
But I find there is no shame in
slanderer; and they become more
bod by my silence. I am fully
convinced that silence in such a
case is not a virtue, but a crime
l do not know who the slander-
ers are; neither do l wish to know;
but l do wish them, and all others,
to know that they are not doing
me any harm, for no person will .
believe these lies except persons
who are either guilty of such things
themselves, or would be, if they
could do such and not be found
out. I also wish them to know
that the Lord gives me a blessing
for every lie they tell of me, and
He will turn that which seems to
harm me into everlasting bliss,
and while these lies may distress
my friends, and do grfeve the Lord
J Jesus Christ, they do not harm me
in the least; but do harm every
soul who tells them, and any who
are so weak as to believe them. }

CHESS AND CHECKERS.

A team match was played last week be-
tween the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Commercial
Club of Wilkesbarre, Pa, resulting In a
tie, each team having won five games.
Capt. James Hill of the local club who is
temporarily located at WilkesDarre, played
on the Commercial team, winning and los
ing with DR.. Czupda. In the second game,
which Hill won, after turning an attack
which seemed overwhelming, the captain
forced clever win in the end game.
Dr. Tarrasch of Nuremburg has opened
negotiations with Champion Lasker for
match involving the worlds championship.
A match between these masters would be
gladly welcomed by the chess world, and
we hope that the enterprise which mas
characterized the movement for the seventh
American chess congress at st. Louis
and the international tourney at Cambridge
Springs, Pa, will result in securing this
match for America. DR.. Lasker has al
ready signifed his intention of participating
in the Cambridge Springs tourney. and
masters tourney without DR.. Tarrasch Is
unlikely, as the doctor is always to be
found with the topnotchers and has been

little extra hustle this match may be Sc
cured as the attraction par excellence Of
one Of these meetings.

Guard with watchful eye your king
Or death the pressing foe will bring.
Play not the queen out prematurely:
Repulse capture follows surely.
Try speedily your rocks to double;
Twill cause your foe no end Of trouble.
With both your bishops rake the king,
And he Will ''Peccavi" sing.
With prancing horse the corner scorn,
Or you'll have your knight to mourn.
