Mr.. Charles Schuman has furnished a
good laugh for his friends during the past
few days. Mr.. Schuman is one of the
many enthusiastic chicken men of our
town, and for several days he had been
trying to exterminate tile rats from his
hennery. Some kind friend came to his
rescue and loaned him wire rat trap,
and after placing it in position in the
back yard, Mr.. Schuman imagined his
troubles would soon cease. In a short
time he returned to the yard and as he
passed the rat trap he was surprised to
notice it leap toward him. Thinking he
might have knocked stick against it, he
passed on to the chicken house. As he
was opening the door of the henhouse he
felt the rat trap rubbing against one of
his legs. Not desiring any further con-
firmation OF his first impressions, Mr.
Schuman fed from the yard to the house.
After regaining his composure and calling
in one of his neighbors to accompany him,
he got lantern and returned to the yard.
Upon investigation he found the house cat
with its head caught in the entrance to the
trap. She was cutting funny capers
when he found her, and fled when he re-
leased her head from the trap.

OBITUARY
ARCHIE C. Sites

To those who remember the boyhood
days of Archie c. Sites, and the time
OF his going out from among us, the
news Of his untimely death brings
deep sorrow and feelings of personal be-
reavement; and yet our sorrow is not I'M
mixedwith joy, for he won the verdict,
"welI done" fairly and squarely. He
fought good fight, and with mournful
pleasure we pause i'll the heat and strife
of life's dusty way and pay our last tribute
to him, who, too tired longer to- re-
main in the hard journey, has hidden us
a last good night and gone out into eter-
nal life. He was born in Middletown in
April 1868. The foundation of his edu-
cation was laid at our public schools in
this place, under the late Professor
Wright. At the age of seventeen his
school days were cut short, and he went
to work in the store of Strawbridge &
Clothier in Philadelphia, for it was the
purpose of his friends that he should en-
ter commercial fields. But he would not
have it SO. That determination so char
acteristic of him in later years, was with
him then. While pursuing his duties to
his employers in the day time, he indus
triously worked over his books at night
and soon matriculated at the "Troy Poly
ticnic, and in 1886 was graduated from
that famous institution of learning with
the degree Of civil engineer Soon after
his graduation he engaged with the Phe-
nix Bridge Co., building some of the most
important steel bridges in our country.
He continued this pursuit of his profess
sion till his health failed him about two
year ago. He had lately gone to Mount
Eagle, Tennessee, hoping to find cline
that would enable him to successfully
combat his malady, where be died with
his family around him August 9th.
About twelve years ago he was married
to Miss Louise Sells, OF Chicago. He
leaves to survive him a wife and three
interesting children, his mother, Mrs. C.
R. Gilpin and a brother, DR.. John G.
Sites Of this place. He had established
a beautiful home on Evanston Street, in
Chicago, and when his health broke he
had already attained to the foremost
rank in his profession. His body was
inferred at st. Louis, Mo-, where many
OF his friends from Chicago and other
points of the central west went to pay to
his memory their last tribute of respect
and to express their feelings of sympathy
to his stricken wife.
