Thinks SHE SAW
M'CARRICK BOY
Mrs. Macmillan Tells of In
usual Treatment of Boy
in Trenton Street
GIVES INFORMATION
TO CITY POLICE

Acting on clue furnished by Mrs.
e. S. Macmillan, of No COO Concord
avenue, Chief Of Police Black has
communicated with the Trenton. New
Jersey, police, furnishing them with
what appears TO be a clue 10 War
ren McCarrick, aged years. of Phil
adelphia. who disappeared from his
home several weeks ago. Whether
the clue furnished by Chief Of Police
Black will be a means whereby the
missing boy will be recovered is not
known, but Mrs. Macmillan, who was
a visitor in Trenton on Wednesday, is
positive that a small boy, seen there,
answered the description of the miss
ing child.
Mrs. Macmillan had Just aliehted
from a train at the Pennsylvania rail
road station when her attention was
called to a small boy who was walking
with a tall man. The man held the
child's hands tightly and while the boy
was not crying he appeared to be at
tempting to hold back As the child
passed Mrs Macmillan he looked at her
in an appealing way and that instant she
noticed the similarity between the boy
and the public pictures of the McCar-
rick boy. Mrs. Macmillan, who was
in strange city, looked for an ofli-
Ger but none appeared and as she
watched the man and child walking
away from the railroad station. troll
ley came along which Mrs. Macmillan
was compelled TO take. On her return
home that evening Mrs. Macmillan com
municated with Chief OF Police Black
and he in turn sent word of the incl
dent TO Trenton.
In conversation with an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter, Mrs. Macmillan
said: AS I was walking from the
railroad station to the trolley on We'd

boy who was wearing a leather strap

Chickens ON NIGHT
RIDE TO barn FIRE
Cochran BiddieS Do Some
Clucking While Hanging
to Carriage Underframe
MADE COMFORTABLE
ON RETURN TRIP

Farmers, who were driving towards
the Lodge farm occupied by George $.
Bigger early last Sunday night to offer
assistance in combating the flames that
destroyed the barn on the farm were
startled as a carriage passed them on
the road from Arden, from which un-
earthly sounds were coming. The horses
SHE'D 70 one side at the unusual noises
aud the excitement of the fire was lost
sight OF in the speculations as 20 what
had caused the queer sounds. The car
rage from which the noise was com
ing. was occupied by James L. Cochran
and family OF near Arden. although
they did not hear the noises until they
arrived at the Bigger farm.
As Cochran drew up his team in
'front.' OF the Bigger home, he heard a
noise as If something was under his
carriage and hastily securing a Ian
tern an investigation was made. In
stead Of finding a portion of man
who had been run over on the wild
drive to help an afflicted farmer,
Cochran found eight fat hens sitting
on the cross piece under the car
riage body The chickens had retain
eu their hold on the iron bar through
out the wild drive of three miles AS
farmers who had been passed drew
up into the bigger farm yard, they
all gathered around the Cochran car
riage to ascertain just what caused
the noises. Finally farmer came in
and carrying two chickens, the only
ones that had been disgusted with
their wild drive and dropped off their
perch
The ten chickens had been roosting
on the under cross peice of the car
riage when Cochran determined to
go to the Bigger fire and they we're
not discovered. AT first the hens
Mapped their wings in protest against
the ride but as it was dark, people
who were passed on the roads by Mr.
Cochran could not see the chickens
aud only their cacklng could be
heard. This WAS what caused the
horses 70 shy and the people TO Won

Relative TO the diversion OF the
water in the Brandywino creek by
the riparian owners above the city
dam or by either of them. the follow
ing is submitted Prior to 1896 the
city line crossed the Brandywine
creek at point east of the Angus
tine Paper Mills. About the year
1880 the Bancroft Company. for the
purpose Of protecting the city water
supply from the sewage from their
manufacturing plant, constructed a
private sewer carrying their sewage
as well as that of the Kentmorc Mil
then owned by Leander Riddle
through the property OF Riddle on

through the land Of Robert Kirkpat-
rick and Joseph Tatnall on the north
side Of the creek to point below

in use until about 1900. when The city,
under an agreement with the Joseph
Bancroft and Sons Company. con-
structed an extension Of its Brandy

About 1895. and prior to the above

About 1905 the city, under an
agreement with the Bancroft Com
pany, constructed lateral sewer
connecting with the Brandywine in
tercepting sewer and extending in a
westerly direction n sufficient dis
tance TO drain all the properties in
the Kentmere tract. At this time the
Bancroft Company granted to the
city the right of way through its
property for the construction Of this

Mr.. Wilds, who had been connected

picture to one single point, namely: THE
IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING OUT OF
DEBT.
We live In an age of debt. We might
almost change the motto on our coins to
the words, "Charge It." The average
American woman, if awakened from her
sleep and told that the house was on fire,
would probably say charge it, before
recovering her senses.
The struggle of the ordinary American
man at the end of a month is to pay that
which has been charged during the four
preceding weeks.
Of the men in the United States nine
tenths are in debt
The nation is in debt Every city and
county and State is in debt.
The railroads owe thousands of mil
lions.
Our whole business and our whole life
is based on the "chsrge it, plan.
The big opportunity is for the man
who can keep his chin above the debt
level.
Keep out of debt and you keep out of
danger.
Keep out of debt in youth and you
keep out of slavery in old age.
Neither borrower nor lender be-"
said Ben Franklin, and it was good adj
vice from wise adviser.
If laws would discourage lending and
credit-giving, instead of protecting usury,
as they do, general prosperity would in
crease fifty per cent.
If you will learn to keep out of debt
your Individual prosperity will increase
many thousand per cent
Debt makes the debtor slave.
Worse than that it deadens his mind,
discourages him, makes effort seem not
worth while.
Next to the gambler who cannot con.
quer his vice, the chronic debtor is the
most miserable of creatures.
This turtle picture with this unin-
teresting Sunday sermon on debt will go
into the hands of many millions Of
readers.
A certain percentage of them, think
ing about lfe's problem and turning the
thought into mental muscle, will keep
free from debt.
First they will get rid of debts that
they have now, keep out of other debts
and they will be men and women to be
envied.
Very dull and uninteresting are the big
truths in life. But, dull as they are, they
alone help to solve the real problems.
