Annlies Here too.

This town and county has long
been utilized as proper places in
which to locate famous snake, bear
and other stories, and we most re-
spectfully dedicate the following to
those correspondents, who have Civ
en- us so much notoriety, substitut-
ing their names for that of c.. E..
Whitney, the versatile news writer,
of Susquehanna, who has long util-
lied Starrucca as a location for "big
scoops" StarruCca has now a scribe
who is getting back at Whit in this
form: "rhe late Gen. Harrison
aud Mr.. Whitney, the correspon-
dent, have used considerable space
i'll the newspapers on account of
their lying in state Mr.. Whitney
may not have lied in the state Har-
rison did, but it is safe to say he has
lied in all the states he was ever IN,
and when his time comes to lie in
state he will probably be able to
make himself believe it is nothing
but an old-fashjoned fireplace. -
And then this same scribe gives
him this foundation for another
''yarn - "a barn owned by John
Sweeney was demolished during q
recent wind storm, killing one of his
COWS. There is some doubt as tc
the cause as he had the barn we'll
filed with hay and popcorn. The
hay probably became heated and
popped the corn, bursting the root
off and when the COW saw the corn
popped she lay down and froze tt

eEN1lLlrY AND AGRICULTURE

"Do you know what / amp" asked
young Tailor Taylor. "pma gentle
man farmer"
"Well," l observed, care you a
gentleman because you are n farmer,
or are you a farmer because you are
a gentleman? Is it necessary, under
the circumstances, to certify to your
gentility? there's nothing uugentle-
manlke about farming, so far as
know, If you were gentleman
theatrical manager, why"
ooh, you be hangedl" exclaimed
young Tailor-Tylor, and went off to
order some corduroy clothes.
Now, this gentleman-farmer busi-
ness irritates enc. / never heard OF
a gentleman banker or a gentleman
doctor, although | dare say that
most bankers and most doctors are
gentlemen. Sometimes, however,
the newspapers tell us, with great
awe, of a gentleman burglar. Burg
larry and agriculture would appear to
be the only callings in which gentle
men advertise themselves.
But gentlemen farmers seem to
have far more pleasant life than is
enjoyed by gentlemen burglars. 1t is
more spectacular. Gentleman burg
lars work in secret, but a gentleman
farmer has a house-party Of guests to
applaud his efforts. The guests, in
deed, are as essential Il part of his
equipment rs is his New Barn, which
is continually in process Of constuc-
tion.
Gentleman farming has been conn
pared to yachting. Yachting ischeap
er, and suppose that fact is the rea
son we never hear of a gentle mar
sailor. It is also true that when a
gentleman is in the middle of the
ocean on a yacht, he is obliged to re.
main a yachtsman, even ifhe dosen't
want to. But a gentleman farmer
eau at any time drop the farming enc
of it and be a gentleman pure anC
simple-pure in some cases and sim
pie in the majority of them. This is
a convenience which young Taller
Taylor occasionally avails himself
during the Newport season, for eX
ample, and the hunting months, anC
the Southern pilgrimage, and tn,
time when everybody is in town.

Dangerous Bills.

There are two bills, known as the
water snakes, now before the Legis-
lature which should be defeated if
the public is to retain control of the
rivers. The Philadelphia Ledger
says of these bills;
There is no measure now before
the State Legislature more danger
Gus to the welfare of the people than
Stineman Water bill and the Stiles
Delaware River Dam bill. If both
become laws, the rivers will fall un-
der the absolute control Of corpora
tiOns. The rights Of towns and mum
icipalities to use the waters Of such
rivers for domestic purposes, unless
purchased from the corporations, will
be seriously threatened. The two
bills give corporations the power to
seize lands and overflow them, to
take away riparian rights and ia
combine among themselves. Thus
if the bills are enacted the State will
soon be in the grasp Of the gigantic
water trust, which will have the peo-
pie at its mercy.
Already in contemplation Of the
passage Of the above bills charters
have been applied for 50 that the cor
porations may be ready to act prompt
I ly. In one Of these applications Hon,
Howard Mutchler appears as one o.
the incorporators.

Appeal of Charles Hdzen in matter
of summary conviction for trespass
on lands of Blooming Grove Park
Association. The plaintiff corpora
tion alleged three violations Of its
special charter lst that Hazen was
OH its land TOR improper purposes, "a
that he killed deer on said land
and 3rd that his dog was on the land
contrary to the provisions Of its char
ter.
John Keuling, assistant game
keeper for the Park Association, tes-
titled that Nov. 30, 1900, passing
along a road running over the Sim
con Lord tract, which belongs to the
Association, he saw dog which he
caught and then going into the brush
near by he saw Charles Hazen lying
on the ground and near by him the
carcass of a deer. Two other persons
were lying near but it being dark he
could not recognize them.
Next day in company with Otto
Keuling and John Holiday he return
ed to the place and they traced the
blood back to the ShohOla creek on
the bank of which found a pool
of blood and after careful investiga-
tion concluded that the deer had been
shot i'm the water. There was also
evidence that load of buckshOt had
been fred through a clump of alders.
Keuling and Holiday both corrObor-
ated this testimony. Evidence was
also given that the lands were pla-
IL, ded as required, and also evidence
as to re location of the Lord tract.
Proof was like wise made of the or
ganization of the Association under
the Act Incorporating it, and also
evidence of the title to the Lord tract
which became vested i'm the Associa-
tion in 1882. 1t was also shown that
Hazen had been employed by the
Park people as guide for 3 or sea-
SONS.
Hazen introduced no evidence rely
ling solely on the question of the con
stitutionality of the Act of 1871 in
cooperating the Park Association.
Several points were submitted and
argued and the court took the papers
reserving decision. The case will
no doubt be reviewed in the opinion
to be filed later and it will then be
published in the PRESS.
Frederick Mink, of Lehman, who
was confined in Jail for nOn-payment
of costs, was discharged.
No venires were ordered for June

BICYCLING NOT DECREASING

Soon after the pneumatic-tired
bicycle made it's appearance the world
suddenly awoke to the fact that It
was in possession Of a new and Won
dsrfully convenient means of loco
motion. and begnn to make use of it
with all possible haste The modern
wheel came upon humanity like an
unanounced comet, and the subse-
quent pell-mell rush to tike advan.
tage Of the benefits IL offered has, in
view Of more recent conditions, been
rather innptly termed craze. 1t is
true that the newly-found instru-
mentality which made the human
body a source Of motive power
many times stronger than that
avAilable in walking proved irresis-
tibly fascinating to multitudes of
people, men md women, young and
old but its sudden spring into pop
ularity was hardly of the craze
character, if by craze is meant that
sort Of deranged enthusiasm which,
without sense or reason, blindly
takes up with this or that passing
whim or freak of faddism.
1t was natural enough that the at
fractions of wheeling should have
proved so alluring that a great many
young persons of both sexes for n
time were inclined to live to cycle
than to use the cycle as an aid to
improved. living. There was some
overdoing, no doubt, and there Ger
tainly was an inordinate amount OF
"wheel talk - but time has checked
the overflow of enthusiasm. and the
wheel has apparently settled into its
permanent place among those neces-
sary things of the mechanical kind
provided to meet the increasing
complexities of modern life
The lessened noise and stir over
the bicycle, and things pertaining
thereto, seems in some quarters to
have created the impression that
there has been a marked decline in
its use Close observation does not,
however, sustain this view. In fact
the reverse appears to be the case.
Information from reliable sources
indicated that more bicycles are rid
den row than at anv previous time,
and that the number in use is in
creasing at a rate that is very salts
factory to all who are appreciative
of the numerous advantages derived
from the wheel as a light, speedy
and comparatively inexpensive veh-
icle adapted to many practical uses.
The bicycle long since became too
widely popular to remain preserib.
ed toy of society, but it is noticeable
that many of the ultra fashionable
still take their cycling as a matter
of course for its ewn sake. and for
the healthfulness of the exercise.
Entirely regardless of questions of
social standing, age, or sex. the
wheel as an implement of necessary
use, recreation, and healthful exer-
else is in evidence throughout the
length and breadth of the land III

lation where cycling gained it's first

papers chanes Owner.

Both the Honesdale Citizen, R"p
and the Wayne County Herald,
Dem, are about to pass into the
hands of syndicates and be organic
ed rs stock companies. This win no
doubt be the means of making both
papers more aggressive in their re-
spective fields and they will become
more distinctly strict party organs
Wayne county politics are somewhat
mixe1 and there is large independ-
end element which is troublesome
to the schemes of the straight outs
on both sides. With organs which
are strictly partisan they may hope
to bring realcitrants into line, but
after all it is the thinking voter who
is of most real value in keeping par
ties more nearly in touch with the
best interests of the people.
