THE VACANT JUDGESHIP.

We did not publish the picture

not a picture of every member of
the Wayne County Bar. Each mem

strong argument to prove that he

nent person of our community, and
one family and many of the rela-
tives of that family One thing we
admire about our lawyers is, the
extreme solicitatude they have for
the interests and future welfare of
each other and especially for the
man who will have to bear the heavy
burden of having this appointment
conferred upon him, as they all unite
in saying that an appointee in case
of this kind, always has failed to
receive the nomination or to be
elected to succeed himself, and con-
sequently almost every one practic-
ing at this bar is willing to take the
curse off the other fellow by ac-
cepting the appointment. When we
called the attention of one of our
legal luminaries to the fact that the
Hon. Ralph Little, of Susquehanna
county, accepted the appointment
of Judge to fill vacancy caused by
death, receiving the appointment

ing an lmposture.
London, Sept. 9.-The direct chal-
lcn2e to DR.. Cooks story that he
reached the north pole April 81, 1908,
issued by Commander Peary has given
a marked impetus to the tendency in
scientific as well as popular circles to
regard the claims Of DR.. Cook with
more than suspicion.
This dramatic message from Com
mander Peary," says the Standard,
throws down in the most emphatic
manner the fabric of imposture built
up so deliberately by DR.. Cook"
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: $50
far as Peary is concerned there is no
question whatever of the accuracy of
his statements. The veteran explorers
word is believed. DIR. Cook has not
supported his story with proof"
The Daily Chronicle fatty charges
DIR. Cook with having fabricated all
the statements with which he sup
ported his claim to have reached the
north pole" and adds, I'VE charge him
with attempting an imposture upon
the world and with the knowledge
that he could not long sustain the pre-

The knights of Columbus won
repeated applause all along the line
of parade for their eXcellently de-
signed and magnificently decorated
float in the Civic Parade, and by
many it was considered one of the
best in line. Every float and every
organization deserved the plaudits
of the sightseers which was so gen.
erously given. 1t was universally
remarked by strangers and many
home comers that Honesdale is a
larger and more up-to-date town
than they had any idea of. The i'm
pressions carried away by the thous-
ands who were with us will be of
great help in the future development
of our borough. One lady from the
vicinity of New York City, who wit
messed the play at the Lyric and
who had taken in the civic and

ing the evenings on our streets, said
this comes near being like Il small

had ever visited.

of six veterans, with stacked mus
kets. Next was carriage contain
ing the Post Commander, Henry
Wilson, and four other veterans.
This carriage was jocularly describ-
ed by the veterans as the ambulance,
but its place in the line was not
that usually occupied by an ambul-
ance.
Next was the large livery omnibus
of Fred Rickard, suitably decorated
with the national Colors, and con-
tanning nineteen veterans, with
stacked muskets, and the post flag.
The veterans were from various
parts of the county, and among them
were William Bone OF Binghamton,

Scranton, both former residents of
Honesdale, who served during the
war in organizations sent to the
front from this county.

was attended with continuous out
bursts of applause to which they
responded by frequent salutes.
There has been some criticism of
the G. a. r. formation, on the theory
that the color sergeant should have
marched on foot at the head of the
column, carrying the colors. The
experience of those who directed
the formation should permit the pre-
sumption that it was in accordance
with military usage. Had the Post
been marching, the colors should
have been carried at the head of the
column. But the body of the Post
being in vehicles, it would not have

A Close Call An Around.

At the Emerson school in Seattle last
year a dog named Dandy had the run
OF the rooms-and thereby hangs a
tale, two tails in fact.
Dandy had become a favorite and
the teachers had taught him several
tricks, to pose for the class in drawing,
and he cultivated a taste for blanc
mango, which they fed him from a
spoon in very proper manner.
One day pupil had brought pet
rabbit to the school as model for the
artists, when suddenly Dandy pranced
in unannounced but sure Of welcome.
The moment he caught sight Of the
rabbit he made a rush for it, seeming
to say That's my meat" The rabbit
fed. And then ensued the prettiest
chase you ever saw. Up and down
the aisles; over, under, between, and
on top of the desks and seats. The
girls screamed, the boys shouted; some
in fear, some in delight. The dog
with his eager yelps added to the pam
demoniac excitement; while bunny
attended strictly to business. Dandy
was too swift for the rabbit, and he was
about to make good his remark about
meat, when the rabbit jumped into the
arms Of the teacher for safety. But
the dog was so close and the rabbit so
terrified that it struggled out Of the
teachers grasp just as the dog came
within reach. AS the latter snapped a
mouthful of rabbit tail the little girl
who owned the dog seized his tail and
there was a brief but realistic tableau
entitled "A Close Call" The rabbit
was released and returned to its cage,
while Dandy was dismissed in disgrace
for the day.
