was with them. He tells all about the
voyage in his journal and how they land
ed in Philadelphia in the early part of
September, ITO. These six, together
with a feweothers. almost as soon as they
landed, secured the right to take up land
on the Pequea Creek and in October
they appeared near the head of the creek,
followed it down till they came to the
location Of Strasburg and took up 64oo
acres of land here, tract reaching from
West, Willow to and occupying the third
ward of Strasburg, FIVE miles long and ex-
tending from Myths corner to a-half a

Why the Vases Were Valuable.


There's china expert in one of the
large department stores here who has
an amusing little trade of his own on
the side. 1t is nothing more or less
than deciding the value Of rare china
or glass ware broken by careless serv-
ants or packing houses.

he said. with laugh. Not so very
long ago was called in to arbitrate
between an irate householder and one
Of the big moving firms. She said with
sobs that the movers had broken a
pair of vases which she valued at 500.
The movers, although willing to make
restitution, considered the sum exor-
bitant. Well. looked at the pieces
and found the value about $25. / told

courtship In China.

A curious custom prevails at Huay-

teenth day of the first month in each
year all the young ladies' and gentle
men take walk to the Yenyen noun
tain. Each damsel carries little box,
which she deposits at the foot of the
hill. Any young gentleman DESTROYS OF
entering the bonds Of matrimony may
select one Of the boxes and take It
away with him. whereupon the fair
owner Of the box makes herself
known. and an acquaintanceship is
thus formed Ill assorted matches are
not likely to occur, as this custom is
observed only among the well to do
classes OF society.

The other day the manager of fur

standing. for which the regular col

The manager told his man to threaten
a lawsuit If necessary. The salesman
said he would collect 1t without that

put the bill in the band of his derby

Kenneth Meeting House Bi. Gen.

Old Kennett Meeting House in Chester

Monday September a4th, 1910. In RIO
the society of Friends purchased the
present site situated on the direct road
from Kennett Square to Chadds Ford and
once known as Logtown, and built there
on a house for public worship. The
meeting" which had been kept in private
houses, now assembled here and was ever
after held within its walls. The building
has undergone some changes. yet much
of its original identity remains. The
galleries and implanted benches are
suggestive of the Quaker Meeting House
of We olden times, as is also the historic
horseback (which occupies place of
prominence along the driveway. This
will be perhaps the first celebration OF its
kind in the immediate neighborhood and
promises to be an occasion of great
interest
It's said that number of persons from
distance hope to attend and it is reason
able to surmise that many "reminiscences
will be eagerly sought after by the
descendants of those earnest workers of
the early days who were faithful to duty
and seldom to be found absent from their
accustomed seat. whether it was in the
gallery or elsewhere in the house. men

will cover two sessions, morning and
afternoon. Between the sessions there
will be ample time for the basket lunch
and social hour

tended by the committee and Pennock M.
