The Connecticut man who has
just been arrested for grinding up
old cigar boxes and selling the pro-
duct for pepper could evidently
point out on his family tree the in
ventor of the wooden nutmegs of
olden days. The ingenious Yankee
manifests his peculiar talents
through succeeding generations

Yes. Connecticut, with all her
sins and shortcomings of political
and moral nature to answer for, in
Guiding the production of BENE-
DICT ARNOLD and three emphatic
majorities for one GROVER
CLEVELAND, was smart enough to
get started in life on very trifiing
investment of soft pine, paint and
impudence. The little state slowed
away between Boston frogpond and
the red ferryboats of Harlem river
contains a large number of content
ed folks today who are rich because
they sold those wooden nutmegs
to lot of raw suckers in the west
and south, and then put the coin
right into per cent. mortgage
bonds directly under the noses of
the people they had "nutmegged."

have sense enough to know news
when they see it and to give their
appreciation to a paper that supplies
It; and we have equal sanguinity
that the "sassiety" argument will
find as little scope in this friendly
locality as the claims of DR.. Cook
that he discovered the North Pole
and climbed Mt. Mckinley. or the

1t does not seem so very long ago

got " a week and all the tips could
make. Some days the tips we're.
worth dollar or more, and there was
one woman who always gave little
Johnny Wolfe" as they called me,
half a dollar to put on her skates.
That was when / was the devil in the.
Citizen office. Speaking about the
Citizen, l recall one night when the
boys | used to travel with got extra
gay and before they'd made all the
stops they smashed the glass in the
front door of Mr.. Penniman's hand
some home on Main street. When
the trick was discovered was back
in the office, working hard and look
ing innocent, but as soon as | knew
my chums were suspected / went to
the boss, told him l was in the
crowd-though he wouldn't take my
word for it at first-and offered to
pay for the glass on condition that
shouldn't lose my job. He didn't let
me pay for the glass, and he didn't
fire me out of the office, either.
There were couple of fine old men
Henry Wilson and Edward A. PEN

tinues to enjoy a paying practice and
that Mr.. Penniman is wealthy
enough to live without labor.-John

Good manners, in order every
where, are more noticeable in the
postoffice than in most places.
Rowdies and Doors are easily spot
ted there. We do not like to say
it, but a young woman who prob
ably would consider herself terribly
affronted if she were told that she
is not a lady jammed up to the gen.
eral delivery window the other night
and insisted on being waited on be-
fore six men and women ahead of
her in the line had been served.
There is too much of this sort of
impudence, in Honesdale and else
where. How would it be for the
clerk at the window to have his in
structions to send back to the foot
of the line any man or woman who
insists on "butting in" out of turn?
1t looks to US like an eminently
wise and reasonable solution of the
problem precipitated by the pres
ence of selfish and egotistical people

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the
disease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stitutional disease, and in orger to
cure it you must take internal reme-
dies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure is not a Quack medi-
cine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country
for years and is a regular prescrip-
ton. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The per-
feet combination of the two ingred-
tents is what produces such won
derful results in curing Catarrh.

White Mills is right in demanding
that $50 for the White Mills-Arch-
bald game at Lake Lodore. At least
one run, and probably two, came in
when, with a man on third and a
man on first, Catcher Shaffer, the
hard hitter who can send the ball
away over into the childrens play
ground, knocked out a beautiful
three-bagger and won the game for
the Millers. The ball was fair by at
least 10 feet, but, fair ball or foul
ball, the run or runs knocked in by
Shaffer's three-bagger should have
counted. The umpire cannot change
his decision.

BOY SCOUTS GOOD IDEA.

The following from a Scranton
daily paper is going to have signifi-
canoe in Honesdale just so soon as
the right person can be found to
inaugurate a similar movement
here's .'t-73 = s.. Elsl
A duartette of Scranton boys and
their leader, A. j. Bevan, of this
city, comprising a patrol of the Boy
Scouts of America, left yesterday for
Silver Bay, Lake George, n. T.,
where they will camp with 1000
other boys for two weeks, learning
those things which the name of the
organization implies. The boy scout
movement was originated at the
siege of Mafeking by the then Col.
Baden-Powell, who was hard pressed
by the Beers. He employed boys
for carrying messages and scouting.
A number of years ago thousands
of English boys were organized and
today England's boy scouts are
known the world over. 1t is not a
military organization, but the rudi-
ments of military discipline and
practices are to some extent taught
the boys. In this country the move
ment is only three years old. In
Scranton the organization was start
ed under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian association. Baden
Powell, raised to knighthood since
the Boer war, will visit the Silver
Lake camp.
The Boy Scout movement looks
to us like a good idea. 1t has a
tendency to get the lads out of dis
reputable if not positively iniquitous
company by giving them an organi-
zation which, from its military
character if for no other reason,
must appeal to the average boy of
plastic years, who is never bene-
fitted by being left entirely free to
pick up any sort of Tom, Dick and
Harry company on the public
streets.
Sound bodies and sound morals
in the young fellows now passing
through their teens to the legal age
of manhood and responsibility is
the longest step toward a higher
grade of citizenship five, 10 and a
dozen years from now. 1t would
be a right good plan to put the
Scouts at work in Honesdale with
out delay. There are boys in this
borough, and there are boys in
Texas, that could be reached for
desirable results through such an
organization. The rowdy and the
q tough of tender years are some
times converted into useful and
law-abiding citizens by movements
which combine the military with the
social element. Judge BEN B.
LINDSEY, that very earnest and
able citizen who has done so much
to purify the boys of Denver through
his Children's court and its asso-
ciated clubs and reading rooms and
gymnasiums for boys, is an avowed
advocate of the Scout movement.
If we had the Scouts in Honesdale
we might possibly have fewer dis
graceful occurrences like that of
Wednesday night, when hoodlums,
all of them young in years, held
up a church party on its way from
Irving cliff and INDUCED in out
rageous conduct that richly merit
ed jail term for every member OF
the gang.

Lots of automobiles are run on
somebody else's gas. Ameri-
leans are the greatest peanut eaters
in the world, which probably ac-
counts for the fact that we have so
many peanut politicians. The

might find a lot of new words to
puzzle over were it to delegate a
representative to attend one of those
Mountain league baseball games.

lowed a dentists tool was lucky that

In reporting the Keystone conven-
tion at Towanda the Philadelphia
North American said: "Ex-Congress-
man Kipp was on the platform, and
the audience tried to applaud a
speech out of him. But it didn't
succeed" Does anyone know of an
audience ever having succeeded in
applauding a speech out of the Dem
ocratic candidate for congress from
this district? Not that we are
aware of. Mr.. Lilley, his opponent
in the congressional contest of four
years ago, tried hard to get him to
talk, but it was of no use. The
Democratic candidate for congress
does not make speeches. Why?-

The announcement that for the
first time since the industrial slump
in 1907 the Baldwin Locomotive
works have practically a full force
of 5000 men employed is an un-
usually encouraging industrial in
dication. The Baldwin plant natur-
ally derives its sole patronage from
railroads, the managers of which
for several years past, in the face
of anti-railroad agitation, have been
decidedly backward in their pur-
chases. With demand for locomo-
tives will naturally come a demand
for the great volumes of supplies
which enter into the running of our
great transportation systems, thus
eKerting a beneficial influence upon
all lines of industry.-Lancaster New
