the beginning of this yenr the church
started working on this fund and by
the end of March they had raised be-tween
three and four hundred dollars

A number of newspapers have re-ueatly
published articles about the "l)e
Haven Ciuiui." that is u sum of about
j I.IIIIII.IIIIII claimed to be due the heirs
of Jacob De Haven, saying that this
claim would now lie paid by the gov-ernment.
I Ins is ol especial interest to resi-dents
of this vicinity as Jaeoo De Hav-en
who is said to have loaned the mon-ey
to the government lived near Ciillf
Mills, and many of his descendants live
in this vicinity.
The Ambler Uazette published the
following about the claim:
A well-known lawyer of this section
o, the country, upon reading the ac-count
of the award, at once took up the
matter in Washington and after a full
ami thorough Investigation notified
tills paper last Saturday tbut there has
been no such award made, and further
that there Is no such claim now before
the government. He further said,
"The report that the interest on the
original loan of $150,000 would he paid
in full Is wholly contrary to the prin-ciple
of the government and the decis-ion
of the courts in similar matters in
that no interest is allowed because it Is
held that the United States govern-ment
Is able to pay Just claims when
due."
ilon. George N. Coreon. of Norrls-town,
writes: "Some sharpers have
been playing upon the credulity of the
bells or descendants of one Jacob De
Haven, who they say In 1777 loaned the
government $450,000 and the Inquirer
recently published an article from But-ton,
Mil., stating that a widow there
would In a few days get a fortune as
her share of the fund and accumulated
interest for which an appropriation
had been made. One of the DeHnven
descendants on the mother's side, but
not of that name now, called me to
look It up and put in her claim for her
pro rata. I wrote to our congressman
and he investigated it and said there
was no such claim pending in the de-partments,
no such appropriation had
been made nnd the fable all arose from
a load of hay that Dellaven had given
some employes of the government a
century ago and more. 1 have heard
of this Dellaven fund, for which the
descendants were lighting for the last
half-century nnd I found al last an op-portunity
to dumal the delusion under
which the generations have labored for
so many decades."

If clerks McCall and Whltton could
remember half th* peculiar things they
see day after day as Ili.-y stand al the
general delivery window or tit the
Stamp window, It would make some
highly interesting reading. One day a
Recorderman wasstandingat the stamp
window when a lean anil lank Individ-ual
of somewhat slovenly appearance,
approached the general delivery win-dow.
As soon ns Mr. McCall saw him
he said to him: "No, there's nothing
lor you." The man bad never been
known to receive a letter, nor did It
appear that he particularly expected
one, but having acquired the habit in
early years when Oonshohockl n was
not so large as il is now, of gol l| to
the postoffio* in- evidently fell thai it
was a duly he owed to himself and to
the community to go to the Office every
day In the hope that some daysomeona
might write to him, or send him a let-ter
of some kind. Bo far ns could lie
learned, from cnsiiui inquiry, th* man
at the window had not . von I n fav-ored
with n phamphlel from some pat-ent
medicine house.
At another time a tall, gawky coun-try
youth came to the window and on
inquiring,for his mail, received sever-al
letters, a couple of which bad hceil
lying In the Office for tit hast three
weeks. "Why don't you come in some-times
and get your mail?" asked Mr
McCall. Don't yon come to town of-ten?
These have been here quite a
while." "We get lo town about every
week, sometimes twice a week," was
me reply. "We used to stop every
lime we came to town, but we never
gol nuthln' an' so we stopped cumin'.''
The youth Stopped overcome with these
extended obsi rvations, then as if a
thought had suddenly seized him lie
again turned to the window. "Now
that we got a letter onct I guess we 11
take to cumin' again." He left the
window and since then has been coin-ing
to the Office every time lie has conic
to the town.
One dny an old soldier happened to
put Into the box his pension voucher,
which he wns sending away, without
any stamp on ... He thougin that he
would never see it again and that his
pension tor thai quarter was gone, as
iiu ranchers all look alike, lie nearly
bolted through the stamp window until
he was assured that his letter WOUl
readily he found as it was Hie only oiu
without a stamp. Then be fell better,
and when the voucher was found he
pin mi the stamp and went on his way
rejoicing.
Thai some pet sons are careless with
their mail was made evident one day
last week when a letter Without any
envelope was found open on one of th
desks of the office. The name of the
woman to whom it was addressed
«:i:' at the top of the note and In it tin
woman was asked to make a payment

had purchased or else bring it back and
