A Musician's Sally

From the Philadelphia Ledger
 Victor Herbert tells this story of two famous musicians:
 ''De Pachmann and Goldmark once met in front of the latter's Vienna home. Goldmark was a most estimable old chap, and, as everybody knows. a writer of exceptionally brilliant and melodious music, but his one great fault was his overwhelming conceit. As De Pachmann and Goldmark walked away from the composers house the pianist pointed backward and said:
 .sThat modest little edifice will be signally distinguished some day after you are dead
 "'Indeedr said Goldmark.
 "fYes.' continued De Pachmann, they will decorate it with a tablet
 "'And what do you suppose they will say on the tablet?' asked the com poser eagerly.
 ".To letr replied De Pachmann."

Scared Them Off

From the Washington Star
 The lady from Great Littleton was talking to a friend who lived in Lesser Littleton.
 I've often wondered she said presently, why you all combined to get your minister changed. What had the old one done?'
 The Lesser Littleton lady settled herself more easily in the chair.
 "Oh. my dear, he was quite impos- sible!" she exclaimed. Why, he used to preach and talk about the responsi- bilities of marriage so much that none of the unmarried men in the village had the courage to propose"

PLAN PAVING At CAMP HILL
Market Street to Be Covered With
Asphalt or Bricks If Loan Is
Approved

Camp Hill, April 2.-If plans OF
the council work out here it will moi
be long before Market street is paved
as an ordinance providing for an in
crease in the borough s debt has been
drawn up, and will come up for first
reading next Thursday.
The loan to be asked for will be
$4,000 and will be placed before the
voters at special election to be held
in few months.
The cost of paving Market street
either by brick or asphalt would
amount to $4,000, the street being
one and one-half miles in length.
According to the present plans the
State will be asked TO pay for eight
feet, which will allow for a driveway
of 16 feet. The Valley Railways Com,
pany will be asked to pay for seven
feet, the amount of material required
to cover their roadbed.
As the street is "a feet in width
this would leave nine feet to be paid
by the borough. OF this, property hold
ers on Market street, will be asked to
pay for two.thirds or feet, while the
borough would pay the remaining
three feet.

END OF war BY OCT. |

New York, April flames ]. Hill,
ON leaving for st. Paul yesterday, said:
II believe the war win end by De.

through the physical, financial and in
dustrial exhaustion of the belligerents.
Meanwhile all of the fighting nations
will build up great credits here. Their
borrowings are only in their begin
ming.
Il think there is, not the slightest
doubt that there will be enough grain
to go around this year. A big acre
age of wheat will be planted in the
Northwest, and already a good acre
age # winter wheat is planted.
Il believe the American farmer
ought to get 81 a bushel for next
years crop as Germany, Austria and
France have planned an average of
from 40 to 45 per cent. under the aver
age. After the war is over it is pos
sible that wheat may fall to 20 cents.

Bethlehem, Pa, April 2.--Charles NJ.
Schwab, head of the Bethlehem Steel

torily, at White sulphur Springs and
other Southern points from his nervous
indisposition that he has changed his
plans, and instead of going to Florida
and Cuba, intends to return home next

MIR. Sehwah IS not constitutionally
Ill, but mis- nerves were temporarily shat
tered by the terrific pressure of the
work he assumed when he landed the

extent can be imagined from the fact
that of shrapnel alone 100000 shells
are to be manufactured. About 1000
shells are being made daily, but so great
is the demand for ammunition by the
British army that Lord Kitchener is
constantly calling for more. Prepara,
tions are now well advanced to increase
the output to $500 Shells a day.
Things are exac ected to go faster with
the completion of the fuse factory at
