Game Protectors Exciting Time.

Port Jervis, Dec. 9.-Game protec-
tors Farley, Vann and Farnham, who
have been enforcing the laws on
fishing in the Delaware river under
the direction of division chief Legge
of Binghamton, have removed or
caused to be removed from the river
over fifty eel racks and other illegal
fish traps and have collected over
$50 in fines.
One gang in particular bothered
the protectors greatly. The protec-
tors succeeded in arresting one of
the members of the gang. After the
man was placed under arrest he ask
ed permission to secure a bonds
man. He was allowed few minu-
tes liberty and took advantage OF
the opportunity to bolt for freedom
The escaped prisoner fastened to
the home of the gang in the noun
tains a short distance from the river
with three officers In hot pursuit
They began a search of some shackG
where memberA of the gang lived
and things looked 30 threatening
that they expected to hear guns pop
ping every minute. ISL. n'

Somebody has figured out that the

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for a livelihood until he
reaches the age of twenty-one years
costs them four thousand dollars.
On this basis of calculation a brood,
for instance, of six boys would rep
resent an outlay of twenty-four
thousand dollars by the time they
get away from the home roost. The
question arises does it pay to raise
BOYS and are there no other crops
that would prove more profitable?
II a boy turns out to be a cigarette
fend with a breath like turkey
buzzard and laugh that would
make an untutored donkey feel per-
fectly at home in his society and
with an untrammeled and uncon-
uuerable desire to avoid work, 1t
ia safe to say that his parents might
have invested their four thousand
dollars at a much better advantage.
But IL the boy grows up to manhood
with the lesson we'll learned that
wealth and success grow only on
bushes watered by the sweat of ones
brow, the parents have spent on
him, for he will be source of in
creasing pride and Joy to their
hearts, and when they grow old and
their hands tremble and their legs
wabble and their step is slow and
faltering they have two strong arms
to lean upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie In their
twilight path

A preacher came at a newspaper
man in this way: You editors do not
tell the truth. If you did you could
not live; your newspapers would be
failure. The editor replied: You
are right and the minister who will
at all times and under all circum-
stances tell the whole truth about
his members, alive or dead, will not
occupy his pulpit more than one
Sunday and then he will find 1t
necessary to leave town in a hurry.
The press and the pulpit go hand in
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words magnifying little vir-
tues into big ones. The pulpit, the
pen, and the grave stone are the
great saint-making triumvirate.
And the great minister went away
looking very thoughtful while the
editor turned to his work, and told
Of the unsurpassing beauty of the
bride, while in fact she was as home
ly as q mud fence.

On Sunday night at quarter before
eleven o'clock, at her home on East
street, there passed away from this
life to Paradise the soul of Sarah
Elizabeth Cooper, beloved wife OF
Benjamin Gardner, aged sixty-seven
years, eleven months and twenty
two days. She was woman of
splendid Christian characte---genu-
inc and wholesome in her home,
where she was the very hest sort of
a wife and mother; in the church,
where she was very active: and in
the community, where, because of
her genial nature and equable tenn
per, she had hosts of friends. The
end of her earthly life was like the
sunset which closes long summers
day. The clouds of her MONDAY
sky had been only those caused by
the prolonged illness and death of
her children. But "a few weeks be-
fore her death her life of Christian
kindness toward all mankind was
crowned by the presence in her home
of those who had shared with her the
beautiful home-life never marred by
bitterness, but only by sorrow; and
of hundreds of her friends from far
and near, who had gathered to show
their esteem and affection for man
and woman who that day had COM
pleted term of fifty years of true
marriage. And then came an ill
ness of little suffering which passed
quietly into sleep, as the colors of
the sky fade into the silent dark
ness. For such a sky there will be
dawn but never again sunset.
Besides her husband there are left
to mourn her death her sons, Wes-
ley, President and Treasurer of the
Finch Manufacturing Co. of Scran-
ton, and Paul W., Manager of the
Eureka Speciality Company, and
four sisters, Mrs. Steinbeck and
Mrs. Houck, who have been constant
ly with her in her last illness, and
Mrs. Augusta Sickler and Mrs. W..
Dean Sampson, of Tunkhannock. The
funeral service will be held at her
late residence on Wednesday after
noon at two o'cock and in the family
plot in Glen Dyberry, where the in
terment will take place. The Rector
of Grace church, Rev. Albert L. Whit
taker will officiate.

A movement to establish a new
bank is on foot in Dunmore. There

Of the proprietors of the Arrow cafe
and a we'll known real estate opera
tor; F. o. Magargee, Of the firm OF
Megargee brothers, and James
O'Horo, teller at the Union National
Bank.
An application for a charter will
be forwarded to Harrisburg this
week, 1t is expected.

Having only an editor pro TEN
holding down the chair that belongs
to a real live editor is the reason
why there is no original or copied
criticism of the Presidents mes
sage, in The Citizen. AS an indi-
vidual we have read it and it strikes
us as being a pretty good sermon to
Congress, facts that we know are
facts are clearly stated and recon-
mendations having a bearing upon
our future course are all that could
be expected, when we take into con-
sideration that the message is ad-
dressed particularly to a body
which have quite number of
statesmen of the New Thought var
iety. We have also read quite a
number of "Epistles to the Com
mon People" regarding the mes
sage which have been elected from
the brain of people who are running
newspapers; many of whom way
down in the cellar of their best
thoughts believe they could run this
country just as we'll and a little
better than the man whom the peo-
Pile selected. These people are too
bashful to make a direct announce
ment of this kind, so we have to
read between the lines to discover
what an awful lot of waste states
manship and parboiled ability is
running to waste, in spite of the ef-
forts of our government along the
line of conservation of its natural
resources. Some of the Democratic
editors of this state, judging by the
diarrhoea of words, and thinness OF
their ideas they have emitted in
finding fault with the message, evi-
IDENTIFY have taken mentally the re.
suits of the late election in a laxa-
tive sense. We would Willingly
cough up the $40 that Ben. 1illman
went shy on at the Taft dinner to
have the "Man in Africa's" opinion
of the message boiled down to ten
words at a dollar word.

Murray and Mackey Comedy

Murray and Mackey Comedy Co.
That the plays the thing" has
never been denied. Good plays are
the key note to success of the COM
pany, and in the repertoire an
nounced, Mr.. John j. Murray, Cen
eral Manager of the Murray and
Mackey attractions, which began a
weeks engagement at the Lyric,

1.-THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN"
A Well-KnOwn Play to be played in
HOnesdaIe on Monday. Dec. 27.


HOnesdale on Monday, Dec. ~.
1.-THE Travelling Salesman" by
James Forbes, author of "The Chorus
Lady" will be, seen in this place at
the Lyric Theatre on Monday, Dec.
27th. Aside from the fine acting
the play affords pleasurable thought
to the theatre-going public, by rea-
son of it's originality and life-like
characters and types and not since
the palmy days of Charles Hoyt has
a comedy enjoyed greater success
than this James Forbes offering.
Crowded houses have been the rule
since the first night of it's opening
this season, and the public is flock
ing to see it in such numbers that
it will undoubtedly repeat its New
York, Boston and Chicago success
in this place. Mr.. Forbes, the au-
thor, has given a humorous exposi-
tion of the characteristic of the mod
ern drummer. 1t is story true to
life and between the hundreds of
laughs that this play contains, are
bits of pathos to add variety to a
most interesting performance. Bob
Blake, the jolly, philosophical
knight of the road" who impetu-
ously prejudices his position by COM
ing to the rescue of young girl who
is about to lose her property, is the
sort of character that the public
loves and admires, and his hearty
laugh and uniform good nature have
created for him a warm circle of
friends wherever he has appeared.

ENEMIES.

Go straight on and don't mind
them. If they get in your way walk
around regardless of their spite. A
man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything; he is made of
that kind of material which is so
easily worked that every one has
a hand in it. A sterling character is
one who thinks for himself, and
speaks what he thinks; he is al
ways sure to have enemies. They

they keep him alive and active. Live
down prejudice by right doing. If
you stop to dispute, you do but as
they desire, and open the way for
more abuse. Let the poor fellows
talk, there will be reaction If you
perform but your duty, and the
sparks, which II you do not blow
will go out of themselves, and those
once alienated will flock to you and
acknowledge their error.

The officers finally found the man
they wanted hiding in bed, put
the handouts on him and started
off with him. By that time other
members of the gang had gathered,
with the evident intention to rescue
the prisoner and made some moves
in that direction, but conspicuous
show of firearms by the officers held
them in check.
The officers made their way with
their prisoner to a small country
hotel and there desperate attempt
to release the prisoner was started,
but the officers nabbed two more
men of the gang and finally succeed
ed in landing all three in Jail.

G. LaRue Munson, Democra-
tic candidate for Justice of the
Supreme Court, filed his ac-
count of expenses during the
campaign, showing that he ex-
pended S32,3O8.76. Of this
sum $25,40O was given to the
Non-Partisan Committee of the
Lycoming Bar Association,
which waged a campaign in
his interest throughout the
State, and $4,000 to the DEM
ocratic State Committee.
This unusual strong financial ef-
fort to secure a seat on the Supreme
Court bench is an awful shock to
that portion of the Democratic par
ty who use tooth brushes, hide their
front names under the shadow of a
nicer middle cognomen, and who
have lisp in their speech, caused
by their talking about political re-
form, corrupt practices, and the use
of money in politics by the other fell
low. A man was lately arrested in

A STRANGE MALADY.

There is wave of good nature
and disposition to please people
travelling over this country at a
very rapid rate. 1t has reached
Honesdale and it's effect upon the
younger generation can be very

voluntarily taking the care of the fur
mace off of fathers hands; the girls
are eagerly watching for fathers

Sylvester Woodmansee was found
dead in bed at his home at Lake

news came as great shock to his
many friends for he appeared to be
in excellent health. Mr.. Wood
mansee was IS years of age and
was one of Wayne County's most
prominent citizens. He enlisted in
the 45th Pennsylvania Volunteers
in September, 1861, and was dis
charged by order of the surgeon on
August IA, 1862. He was in busi-
ness at Lake Como for many years.
About two years ago his son died in
the west, leaving wife and chill
dren. Mr.. Woodmansee immedi-
ately went west and brought them
to Lake Como and established a
home which he enjoyed to the ut
most, not having had a home of his
own for some years. He looked
forward to many pleasant years
with his grandchildren. He was a
prominent member of l. o. o. F. and
was a school director of Preston

Every union should have an auyiliary
society that would take up an educa-
tional movement along the line OF label
agitation. The women want to help
make conditions better in the home and
only need to be brought to understand
the significance of the union label.
There is one such organization in the
city al the present time which is doing
splendid cooperative work with the
union to which it is affiliated. Twenty
more such auxiliary societies working
along the same lines would soon work
a revolution in trade in this city as far
As union made products are concerned.
We need the help of the women to
hold mp wages and hours and general
working conditionss and there is no
more efficient way of rendering aid
than hv demanding the use of the union
label ON everything Won buy. We call
this matter to the attention OF the

that they give the union label question
the study and attention it deserves.
