A WORD TO THE WISE !
A Fireman Points Out Cheap Plan
For Having Horses.

Speaking of the plan for using
horses for the fire apparatus of the
borough a prominent fireman made
a suggestion which embodies a plan
in vogue in many smaller towns by
which the horses belonging to the
borough could be of use in assisting
the firemen in case of bad weather
or in other instances where the ami
mails are needed
This place has number of heavy
horses suitable to the work of draw
ing heavy loads" says he, land l be-
lieve the plan adopted in some 9TH
er places might be found of bene-
fit here. My suggestion would be to
place two or more of the animals at
the disposition of each fire COM
pany, and in the case of fire let the
drivers of those apportioned each
house unhitch wherever they may
be and hurry them toward the
houses. In case of good weather
the apparatus would have a start
already for the fire, but the horses
could soon overtake the heavy ap-
paratus and draw them the remaind-
er of the distance if they are re-
quired and return them to the
houses, after which the animals
could return to the work where the
carts had been left. Such a plan
would be a good one, at least for the
present If given trial"

They'll think I'm putting it on,
if l talk so much" said Samuel N.
Reed to a representative of THE
CITIZEN who interviewed him at
the Wayne County Jail, Wednesday,
shortly after dinner Mr.. Reed
seemed to be in very good spirits,
but rather averse to discussing the
case. You needn't say anything"
he first remarked to the reporter,
but after persuasion, relented, and
told the newspaper man something
about the events at Equinunk on,
before, and after the fatal day, of
July ~, 1910, when Silas e. Lord
received a blow on his head, from
the effects of which, so the doctors
say he died twelve days later.
The reporter, after learning that
Mr.. Reeds occupation was that of a
matchmaker and jeweler, asked him
how he liked going to Philadelphia.
"Well," said Samuel, according to
what they told me, if l go there and
behave myself they'll treat me all
right. Sheriff Braman has been good
to me, and his wife has been good
too. The cooking's been good, and l
got plenty to eat They are going to
take me to Philadelphia Friday
morning"
The reporter wanted to know
whether he was anxious to see Leona
Lord again. 81 don't care to see
her!" exclaimed Reed. Its not

Mr.. Reed related that "he and
Leona had mo fallouts," only that
she wanted me to swear that she
didn't hit him [Silas E. Lord with
pick"
On the day of the fight, and after
it was all over, Samuel Reed told
the reporter that Leona said to him !:
You needn't say anything about
my having pick" and | said Z"

wouldn't say anything about her"
Reed said he promised Leona, but
If he died, it was more serious, and
I'd have to say what was done. That
was one reason why l kept still
about the pick"

to come up again before the Wayne
county courts. charged with assault
and battery against the same man."

GARRATT
ON PATRIOTISM"
Young Honesdale Lawyer De-
livers Eloquent Address At

At the installation services of
Captain Ham Post 1913, G. A. R., a
stirring address was delivered by
Chester A. CARAT, Esq, the young
est member of the Wayne County
Bar. He said;
81 wish | could show by words my
appreciation of the honor that has
been conferred upon me to address
you this evening.
Tonight, the place, the occasion
and the people with whom we are
assembled, fill lis with patriotic emo
ton.
The little that ] might say here,
would add nothing to the luster of
the deeds that these soldiers did in
battle. Their deeds will ever be kept
alive in the memory of the people by
the sheer force Of their worth, for
such is the distinction that comes to
any individual where a sacrifice for
the right has been made.
1t is needless for me TO describe
their achievements, or to enumeTate
the successive battles of that great
war, which meant so much to pre-
serve the grand union of states, and

which contributed so much to the
preservation of the integrity of the
federal government at home and to
the maintenance of it's prestige
among foreign nations.
AS we think of the terrible slaugh-
ter of the bravest, the best and most
loyal citizens of our land, we are
breathless. When we think of the
terrible sacrifice of human life for
the cause of the union we are inclin-
a good cause and it demanded the
sacrifice. We regret only that the
opportunity to serve our country so
well has never come to US of later
generation.
Veterans of our greatest war we
honor, respect and venerate You for
your valor and patriotism, and for
your devotion to your country; and
not come to us.
The Civil war had its purposes, the
most paramont of which was the pre-
servation of the Union of States. It's
one other and equally important pur-
pose was to inculcate in the follow
ing generations the spirit of patriot
lolH, Iue loNe VI COuHIIy anu ueNO-
tion to duty.
There is one reason for which /
might wish that the whole world
might have looked upon the scenes
of that great war, in order that what
was done might be fully appreciated.
We of younger generation have
not seen these sights, we have not
heard the thunder of war, we have
not faced the cannon's mouth, yet we
do appreciate what was done, and we
will continue to appreciate what was
done so long as the Stars and Stripes
shall float above us, and just so long
as they continue to be a reminder of
the great price in human blood that
was paid for them. If it were not for
these veterans here and their COM
rades, we would not have our starry
banner to-day, which represents the
grand union of states, and which is
the symbol of all that is good and
worth while among nations.
To that dreadful carnage Pennsyl-
vania gave her quota. In fact the
Pennsylvania reserves were the sec
ond to reach the field of action. To
that carnage Wayne county gave her
quota of noble sons and we are here
IO-HlSuL W HOHOT anu revere JneSe,
the remainder of the thinned ranks
of veterans of our greatest, bloodiest
and most relentless war.
Now our great war is over, and
with patriotism in our hearts, and
with the glorious, undefiled flag float
ing over us there is no danger of sep
aration, of anarchy, of secession, and
the American Union of States is des-
tined to be preserved.
And indeed the unity of the Repub-
lie is secure so long as we continue
to honor the memory of the men who
died by the hundreds of thousands
that this nation might live; and we
are here tonight to honor those liv-
ing whose lives, too, were on their
country's altar, ready as a human
sacrifice in the cause of right, for
freedom, for union, for their homes
and for their native land.
And now my revered and honored
gentlemen, veterans of that great
war, go forth and teach patriotism
to the present generation, that the
bulwarks of the nation may be as
safe in the future as your valor
SO nobly defended, floats above u.s."

HOWE TRIAL
NEXT TUESDAY.
Change OF Venue Granted Carl Howe,
Who Will Be Tried Before Judge
A. Il. Searle-Battle Royal OF The
Lawyers Promised.

A. Il. Searle-Battle Royal OF The
Lawyers Promised.
Honesdale will be thronged with
visitors when for the fourth time
Carl Howe will be placed on trial
Tuesday to, answer the charge of
having assaulted Madeline Patterson
of La Plume. This time the trial
will be amidst new surroundings and
with new spectators, the defense hav-
ing secured a change in venue, the
trial being transferred to the Wayne
county court in Honesdale. Judge
A. T. Searle of Wayne county will
preside at the trial District Attor-
ney Joseph O'Brien, Scranton, will
represent the commonwealth and At
torney Richard Holgate will appear
for Howe.
Because of the prominence given
the case by reason of the hard fight
made by Howe to save himself from
prison, the case has created more in
terest than any similar case in years
On the three trials held at Scranton
Howe was returned guilty by a jury
eaCn time. lie was sentenced 1rSJ 10
fifteen years in the Eastern peniten-
tiary and the case was at once taken
to the Superior Court which returned
it for retrial On the next trial Howe
was sentenced to twelve years.
Again the Superior Court sent the
case back. The same sentence was
given him following the third trial
and again the case came back for re-
trial from the Superior Court
Both in the trials in Scranton and
in the hearing of the argument be-
fore the Superior Court the battles of
the attorneys have been of intense
interest. Howe asked for a change
of venue when the case was ordered
tried over the last time. Wayne
county was selected as the place for
the fourth trial. The expense of the
trial will be borne by Lackawanna
county. The jury will be selected
from Wayne county citizens.
The three trials held in Scranton
were before Judge e. C. Newcomb.
George Patterson, tipstave at the
court house, Scranton, is the girls
father. Following the first trial
Howe married and his wife will be
with him during the trial next week.

made them in your day, that the
good that you have done may not
be forgotten, that the dead shall not
have died in vain, and that you, the
living, shall be an enduring monu-
ment to the cause of your country,
and a great example to the coming
generations who know so little of
war. And remember the advice of
Washington, always to preserve
and maintain in this country the
nucleus of an army, and especially
a knowledge of the art of war, so
that when danger does come we
may not have to do as we did in
the revolutionary days, send to Ger
many for another Steuben to teach
our soldiers the tactics of the field.
We of younger generation must
not forget that the rights which
these men fought for, and the union
which they preserved, places upon
us the greatest responsibility. We
have the freest government in the
world, but our strength depends up
on our patriotism.
And now peace, order, security,
and national integrity, are safe so
long as love of country abides in the
hearts of the people, and so long as

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.
Beetle Sent From Russia Not Likely
to Be Popular.

A cure for hydropaohia comes direct
from Russia to the Department Of Agri-
culture. 1t consists of eating beetles.
Some time ago the department was
asked by q Russian correspondent for
facts on drought-resisting wheat. This
was courteously supplied. and in return
the gentleman SO obliged wrote back
sending a couple OF beetles that he said
were used extensively in his region for
the cure and prevention OF hydrophobia.
He explained that the beetles were found
on alfalfa and weed patches in wheat
fields. They had to be incased in a raisin
and eaten at intervals during the periods
into which the disease was divided. TAX
ing lono walk was also part of the
cure.
The beetles were recognized at the BIT
reau of entomology as the cantharides
beetle and the chances Here that IL any
body ate several they would not care
whether they had hydrophstia or not.

Indian Labor on Railways,

All of the railways in this part of the
country depend upon the Apaches for
labor, and they make excellent section
hands. Nearly all the employees on the
ranches are also from the Apache tribe
They make excellent hostlers, teamsters
ard cowmen, and are steady and faith
fui SO long as liquor is kept away from
them. For that reason the new consti-
tuition Of Arizona makes it felony for
ever in this state to sell or give alcohol
in any form to an Indian.
In Phoenix much of the manual labor
Is done by Indians. You see them driving
teams upon the street, and women of the
tribe ARE always squatting on the street
corners around the courthouse and other
advantageous points. selling baskets and
other examples of their handiwork.
The Indians are not making much
progress in material things, however.
They do not save their money, they do
not try to improve their condition. they
are content to live in comfortless sfacks
and tepees. and have no pride of appear
ance or progress although they recognize
children to school.
The population Of Arizona by the census
Of June l, 1910. was 204, 354. as compared
with 122.9S1 in 1900. and $3.50 In 1890.
The Increase from 1900 to 1910, therefore,
was 62.2 per cent, which was better than
that Of Oregon and California. but not SO
good as that Of other states In the west.
Washington took the lead in growth,
showing an increase Of 1904 per cent
during the decade; Oklahoma, 100 per
cent; Idaho. l0l per cent; Nevada, 93 per
cent, and New Mexico. 67.5 per cent.
The agricultural development Of the
state has not been so rapid as in other
sections. but there is an expectation of
more rapid growth In the future now

pleted.
