Before I'd do a deed like that

I'll write and tell her what 1 think.

And in her pluck her faithful friends
Most loudly did rejoice

She straightway wrote the letter-but
She did not sign her name.

APPENDIX AS FOB
New York Girl Wears
VermifOrm Ornament
HER FRIENDS ARE NOW TRYING
TO GET APPENDICITIS so
THEY CAN HAVE ONE
TOO

"One of the striking features of
Miss Pegina Goldenbug Doughbag' S
costume at the wedding was that
her bridal veil and orange blossom
wreath were caught up on her pret-
ty head by a golden jewelled appen-
dix clasp, the gift of the groom,
Lord Deucedly de Kayed. There
was added sentiment in that the ap-
pendix was his lordship's very own.
At the time it was removed, about
four years ago, he had it plated with
gold and set with diamonds and had
tenderly laid it aside to be the gift
of the future mistress of Ramshackle
Hall, the family seat"
You may read something very like
this in the society notes of the near
future and if you do it will be true.
In fact the appendix jewel fad has
had a flying start already. Miss
Vera Cornell, who lives with her
mother, Mrs. Lillian d. G. Curnen,
in the Dartmouth at No. 500 Ca
| thedral Parkway, is wearing hers
as a watchcharm right now.

Just where the 'pendix is linked tC

unique article of jewelry Vera Cor

be entitled to a salary of $4,000 a
year, the Legislature of 1909 hav-
ing made provision accordingly. Mr..

Utilities Bill.
Several hearings were given by
the Committee in charge on the
Utilities bill this week, and it is ap-
parent that a united and determined
effort will be made to defeat the
measure or at least to so amend
it that most of the drastic provisions
as they appear to the corporations
will be modified. Governor TeneI
has indicated his desire to have this
bill become law at this session
and has publicly endorsed it. In
spite of this there is a general i'm
preston about the Hill that the bill
has a hard road ahead of it, but just
at what particular point the fight
will be concentrated, or whether the
battle will be fought in the Senate
or House, remains to be seen.
The Sproul road bill is now in the
House, where some amendments are
liable to be tackled on, so that i
will likely have to go to confer
ence committee before it get
through finally.

Troubles are still brewing for thu

probable that an acceptable Cod
will finally get through, something
that will provide smooth running
machinery for some years, but ther
are many details to be completed.

courageous discrimination in his us
of the veto, and his friends ar
gratified, but not surprised, at tn
splendid record he is making. H

APRIL MARRIAGES
Fifteen Licenses Issued
Last Month
TWO BRIDES WERE SEVENTEEN
AND TWO "PAST FIFTY;
GROOMS ALL THE WAY
UP TO FIFTY Y-SEVEN.

"Of all actions of a mans life, his
marriage does least concern other
people; yet of all actions of our
life 'tis most meddled with by other
people," says John Seldom in his
Table Talk" "Sooth spoke truth, "
as Homer used to like to say when
describing the love affairs of the
Greeks. The siege of Troy was
brief, however, compared to the
length of the courtship of one Darby
and Joan who figured in the list OF
April marriage license seekers in
Wayne county. But then faint
heart never won fair lady" and
none but the brave deserve the
fair" as Shakespeare, or was it Ba'
con? said.
Analysing the fifteen marriage IL
eenses issued at the county seat dur
ing the month of April is no light
task, for there are so many interest
ing facts hidden away in the musty
Marriage License Docket Book No. A
Like every other month April was Sc

BASE BALL NEWS
Home Team Has Begun
Practice
FIRST GAME MAY 20 WITH THE
ATHLETICS AT TAYLOR.

The Honesdale Base Ball team is
practicing regularly four nights
week, and Saturday afternoons. Two
new candidates showed up at practice
several days ago, who looked like
promising candidates. They are
Louis Bader and Clarence Helstern.
The lineup for the opening game
will not be fixed for some time to
come. The position of catcher most
likely will be filled by either George
Sandercock or Jos. Jacobs.
In the twirling department, Ben
Hessling is, of course, as in former
seasons, regarded as the mainstay.
Four other pitchers, however, are
giving good accounts of themselves
at practice, and will be heard of lat
er in the season. They are Horace
Carr, Robert Mauer, Clarence Hell
stern and young Male.
1t is undecided as yet who will
hold down the initial bag. Maybe
William Mangan, or Joseph Jacobs
or Walter Weaver will win the COW
eted position.
William Kupfer is a fixture at
short. He is in a class by himself
and will handle anything that comes
his way.
Leslie Brader is scheduled for
third base. He is an experienced
player, and knows how to field his
position as we'll.
Harking back to the catching de-
partment it is more than probable
that George Sandercock will be the
regular man behind the bat, with
Joseph Jacobs as substitute catcher.
At second base it is choice
among William Polt, William Man
gan and Louis Bader
None of the outfield positions have
been permanently filled as yet Ern-
est Dudley, John Shilling and Wal
ter Weaver all look good, and
doubtless will figure there perman-
emily.
Honesdale plays it's first game OF
the season at Taylor, Saturday, May
20, when they will have the strong
Athletics as their opponents.
The season will be opened at
home on the following Saturday
May 81, when one of the teams in
the Lackawanna County League will
be the attraction. Carbondale or
Archibald will try conclusions with
the Maple City boys on that day .
For Memorial Day, two games
will be played on the home grounds
The Dunmore team of the Lacka-
wanna County League will play here
in the morning and afternoon
James Moran, the catcher of the
! Dunmore team, and himself an ole
Honesdale player, personally recon-
mended the team as the best attrac
ton Honesdale could get for thai
day. Two stiff games may be ex
pected, with the odds slightly fav
oring the home team.
