Hadn't Crossed His Scales

The Wayfarer has Just been told an
amusing incident in the business life OF
tomato Gamer.
AS the story is told. a farmer several
years aEo took a load Of tomatoes 10
THE factory of William Ellison, in
Camden. There was a glut in tomatoes
and Mr.. Ellison had more than he could
possibly use.
II don't want that load OF tomatoes
said he to the farmer.
"WhY. YOU contracted to take all OF
my tomatoes" replied the farmer.
Il can't help that, they don't belong
to me-"
''Why don't they belong TO you?"
asked the indignant tomato raiser.
because they have never crossed my
scales"
But you contracted"
Can't help that they must cross my
scales before they are mine"
The farmer drove away but he did
not forget the ruling.
This wear he had another contract
with Mr.. Ellison. Tomatoes are high
now and many OF the farmers are
jumping their contracts and shipping
their tomatoes. realizing about double
what the canneries are paying.
Mr.. Ellison had his spies out and
caught the farmer red handed, loading
tomatoes on a car.
What are you shipping my toma-
toes fOr?" asked Ellison.
''They are not your tomatoes, they
are mine" was the reply.
Why confOund you, contracted
with you for your whole crop"
Il know YOU did. Mr. Ellison, but
they are not yours until they have
crossed your scales" was the prompt
reply.

The resumption of the title OF mid
shipman to represent the lowest grade
commissioned officer in the United
States navy is a sensible yielding to a
pretty bit of sentiment. Now. if the
banished title of commodore be re-
vived. another essentially American sea
tradition will enrich the naval lore of
the future. Wise statesmen do not
ignore the value OF sentiment in human
life. It made Napoleon an emperor
where his military genius would have
failed-Baltimore Herald.

of the anti-smoke movement, inaugu-

chimneys were not novelties.

brought no discomfort to Sylvester ID.
Townsend, deputy judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court. The genial young judge
occupies quarters at No. S26 Market
street. at the rear Of which is a porch
enclosed in glass. Not long ago the
Wayfarer suggested to Julian O.
Walker, who occupies the quarters with
Judge Townsend, that he fit the porch
up as an office, but Mr.. Walker did not
act timely enough on the suggestion,
for when the Wayfarer dropped in that
way several days ago he found that
the Judge had fitted up the porch as
an Office.
"And it's THE coolest place in the
city. Some danger being thrown
through the glass by an angry client, it
is true. but life has its discomforts. as
well as comforts. The porch shall be
a regular cosy corner next summer, and
l will occupy it." said the Judge.
Wayfarer Has Cold
The Wayfarer is suffering from an
electric fan cold" contracted one
warm September day. By tne way,
these colds have been quite prevalent
of late. They come to Those who work
all day in the strong air current pro-
duced 10y the fans. and are accompane
led by symptoms of neuralgia. The
strong breeze is said to be actually
worse than hot air. unless the workers
turn first one side and then the other
towards the draught. At first the SEN
satlon is rather pleasant and refresh

stands constantly in the direct current
feels uncomfortable and later there is
a stiffness OF the neck and shoulders,
accompanied by swollen glands and ir-
ritated mucous membrane. The

more troublesome than the ping-pong
arm or the golf back, the bicycle hump
or the telephone ear.

said the club kicker as he walked into

jaw and took his accustomed seat by

The Tribune on Friday contained an
account of confession made by Peter
Lenousky which solved the mystery of
the finding of Anthony Shanisky with a
facture of the skull in the Exeter mine
at West Pittston, the man dying at the
P.ttston hospital Lenousky, it will be
remembered, said he and Victor Zaram-
DO went into the mine with the inten-
tion of robbing Shanisky. Lenousky
said he backed out and went home and
Zarambo told him that he (Zarambo) hit
Shanlsky on the head, but did not find
any money on him.
Zarambo on Friday sent word that he
wanted to make confession, and Coun-
ty Detective Jones and Edward Uffalus-
sy, an interpreter, went to the jail, where
he said that Lenousky struck the fatal
blow.
Both of accused men tell practically
the same story about lying in wait
for Shanisky, but each accuses the other
of using the ak.

The Freeland branch of the Lehigh
Valley road is in good shape and is TAX
ing all the traffic of the line between
Schuylkil county and the upper end.
The Lizard Creek branch is badly des-
Haven to Bethlehem.
The only damage wrought hereabouts
was to the mines. In many collieries
the water entered so rapidly that the
lives of the miners and mules were en-
dangered. Not a coliery in the region
escaped, but the damage to the inside
workings is not so great as in December,
as better preparations had been made to
meet the food.
About week will place the mines in
shape to resume work, and il the rail
roads are in condition to take the coal
at that time no further loss of time will
follow.
Butler and Sugarloaf valleys were
hard hit, many bridges being washed
away and the roads torn up so as to
render them impossible.
ALONG THE d. s.
Hundreds of workmen were distribut-
ed along the tracks of the ID. S. & S.
yesterday making openings to permit
water to continue its course and not
block and run over the road to cause
washout. From Drifton to Sheppton
no damage of any account has been
caused. At Roam the water caused
trouble by deluging the scales, but has
since been diverted In its course and
work was resumed today.
On the Derringer branch the Black
creek kept interest at fever heat as to
what would occur next by the capers it
cut up. The bridge at Stoney creek
had to be repaired as result and the
Gum Run yards were completely sub
merged, the main track apparently
being the bed of the creek.
Much damage was caused there and
many workmen were engaged yesterday
filling the tracks, which in places were
suspended, the ballast being washed
away. The main track sank about a
foot all along the yards and the passen-
ger train yesterday had to run slowly so
as to permit the track to settle.
AT Derringer the creek was raging so
fiercely that people residing in the
houses below the bridge were compelled
to remove their household goods.
A little Slavonian girl, in crossing the
bridge to her home on Saturday, while
engaged in removing the family's posses
sions, was washed off by the flood and
drowned. No trace of the body has yet
been found.
FISHERMEN ARE HAPPY.
The dam erected little over year
ago by Freeland fishermen on Hayes
creek withstood the flood, to the sur
prise of everyone, who expected to hear
that this, the last of the trout dams in
lower Luzerne, had succumbed to the
waters. On Saturday the waters were
passing over the breastworks several
feet deep, but so substantial was the
work that no signs of weakening have
yet been discovered.
When the news was passed around on
Saturday evening by Hugh Malloy that
the dam was safe there was general re-
jocing among the sportsmen.
The dam was built at a cost of over
5000, contributed by the fishermen of
Freeland and vicinity, and they are
naturally pleased that the work was so
we'll done as to hold out against the two
great floods this winter. Every other
similar dam in the region was destroyed
