The ladies of Honesdale are now
busy making some article which will
be sold to add to the funds Of the
Village Improvement Society. The
Maple City Is adorned by the handi-
work of a number Of philanthropic
ladies who undertake the task of
baautifying the public park and the
streets. Inasmuch as the citizens
here have made liberal subscrip.
tions toward advertising this locality
we wonder why our ladies, always
alert in good deeds and benefactions
and who display such excellent taste
do not follow in the footsteps Of
their Honesdala sisters and take in
hand the adornment of our streets
and public square. A little done in
this direction would add greatly to
the appearance of the town and
would demonstrate in q practical
way our desire to entice summer
guests, and it would also be duly
appreciated by the citizens who
have an eve forneatness and beauty.
We hope the ladies will promptly
act in this matter.

unopened on my desk, when in an idle
half-hour 1 thought 1 would see what
was going on in the theatrical world.
| glanced through the reports of the
out-of-town correspondents in the lat
est number and found them pretty
dull reading.
1 was about to throw the paper
down in disgust when a familiar name
in the personal column caught my eye.
l read the paragraph. So Gloriana
was to have the leading role in Henry
Arthur Clyd's new drama, "A Dead
Mans Shoes" and in meanwhile was
resting near Buffalo, N. Y.-at her
cousins, of course.
My business in Chicago was prac-
tically accomplished, and l would see
no reasons for delaying the return
beyond the end of the week. If 1 left
Chicago Friday afternoon, 1 should be
passing through Buffalo Saturday
morning, due to arrive in New York
late that afternoon and forty hours
before the Office opened up Monday
morning. Why not spend those forty
hours in Buffalo,. 1t is a beautiful
city and 1 had not been there for
long while. Then, l might run out
and make a little call on Gloriana
Really, 1 had not treated her with
ordinary politenesS of late. / went
to bed early that evening, but spent
a rather restless night. l awoke at
early dawn, hours before rising time
ASH lay there thinking, it occurred to
me that it would be foolish to stop off
at Buffalo unless / was sure of seeing
Gloriana.
So l decided to send her a few lines
telling her 4 was coming and asking
If she would be at home. To pass the
time away, 1 composed the note 1
should write when 1 got up. 1t was
quite little masterpiece in its way,
bright and friendly, not too apologize,
a wool of sentiment woven through
warp of playfulness, that seemed to
make the closing sentence at once
truthful. appropriate and non-commit-
tall have not seen you for many
| moons, but 1 love you just the same %
Whereupon l promptly fell asleep
/ again.
Immediately l dreamed that l was
| in court and on the witness stand He
| had sued me for countless millions for
| alternating the affections of his wife,
l was conscious that letter had been
| produced from somewhere and marked
for Identification Out of the corner
| of my eye l could see it lying on the
clerks desk No allusion had been

/ was as much in love with her as l
would let myself be; for, unfortunate
ly, Gloriana was another mans wife.
This was not only unfortunate for me,
but unfortunate for Gloriana as well
not necessarily because she could
not have me, but because she had him.
He was a terror. He was as bad as
they make them. Doubtless you won
der how so sweet and lovely girl as
Gloriana could have married such
f1end. That is because you have never
seen him. Or if you have seen him,
you never imagined he was married to
Gloriana. He never behaved as if he
were married to anybody. Perhaps it
would be more strictly accurate to say
that he always acted as if he was mar
lried to everybody. But l never heard
lof his marrying anybody but Gloriana.
Perhaps it wasn't necessary for him to
marry the others, for he was the hand
soonest man l ever saw. And Gloriana
was only seventeen years old when
the wedding took place.
Now, l am not handsome, but l am
good. At least, l am pretty good. At
any rate, 1 am so good that tried not

that absence makes the heart grow

lutions in this regard was made easier
for me by the fact that Gloriana was
much of the time on the road.
For Gloriana was an actress. He
was on the stage, too There was
some compensation in this; because,
as they never by any chance played
in the same company, l knew he saw
less of her than 1 did. AS a matter of
fact, Gloriana had left him in the mid
die of what is properly styled the
honeymoon, though l never heard
Gloriana so term it, and she had never
gone back on him. Somehow or other
she was always able to arrange her
engagements so that it was not con-
venient-and thus avoided anything
like a scandal. Never was there an
actress who had a lower opinion OF
the advertising value of scandal than
Gloriana.

Travelled Robin Brood.

w. S. Reed, M. D., tells the story OF
a robin who took possession of a pas
senger coach which had been left for
several weeks unused at East Thomp-
son, on the Southbridge branch of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad. The robin built her nest on
the framework of the trucks under the
body of the car. The bird had been
seen around the car by different en-
p1oyes of the road, without their sus-
pecting the presence of the nest until
the car was coupled on and hauled to
Southbridge. The mother followed the
train, and on its arrival brooded and
fed her young, which were just
Matched. She followed the train back
on it's return trip to East Thompson,
where she again fed and housed the
young birds. On the second trip OF
the train, in the afternoon, the bird
again followed her young to South
bridge and back to East Thompson,
where the car was sidetracked and
given into possession of the robin,
rent free, until her family were
grown. The distance Travelled by the
bird in the two round trips was sc

We Now Have Radiumitis.

Not since the early eighties, when
the word electric" leaped into fame
with the arc light, the telephone and
the trolley car, has a newly discov-
cred term been so popular as radium
and its derivatives. Already we have
radio cigars, radite soap, radiumite
tooth paste, and SO on, just as there
used to be electric soap, electric pol
ish, electric tooth powder, electric
cleaning material and even electric
silk. The properties of the mysteri-
Gus radium, of course, no more enter
into the articles which bear that
name, or names allied to it, than soap
or silk, polish or powder was electri-
fed. Yet the new term, applied even
to old and well-known articles, ap-
peals to many people who don't both
er to think what it may or may not
mean

PUT THE JUDGE NEXT"
Young Lawyer Furnished the Court
Valuable information.

Young Lawyer Furnished the Court
Valuable information.
Judge Alfred Conkling Coke of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals was telling the Cornell Law
School students the other day of an
upstate judge who came to sit in
New York. He reached the courtroom
at $50. No one was there, and he
sat down to wait At $50 in came a
young man. He began talking to the
judge, not knowing who he was, and
told of a case of his that was on for
that morning. Il don't know the first
thing about the case" confided the
young man, but there's an old duffer
from Podunk coming to hold court,
and I'll tell him my partner is sick
or that there's a witness from Jersey
we can't get here, or something of
that sort. It'll be easy enough"
Some time later, much to the young
mans astonishmbent, the old duffer'
assembled the bench. Several cases
were called and several lawyers gave
the same excuses for not being ready
that he had said he might give.
His own case was called. Ready"
said the opposing attorney. He looked
up at the judge, and the Judge spoke.
Young man." he said, whatever we
do with these other cases. we'll grant
