p. f. Duffy, County Treasurer of
Lackawanna, who lives at 1902
Price street, Scranton, is learning
that playing the Good Samaritan in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and eleven isn't all it
is cracked up to be.
Mr.. Duffy came to Honesdale We'd
nesday morning to see Judge Alonzo
7. Searle about William Hennigan,
the 17-year-old horse thief of
Scranton, who confessed to borrow
ing a horse and rig from Sinquett
and Wonnacott, the Waymart livery
men, last Summer, and disposing of
1t to a Scranton liveryman the follow
ing day for $35, and was sentenced
on Mr.. Duffy's plea, to spend two
years in the Catholic Protectory at
philadelphia, Monday morning, at
argument court.
Mr.. Duffy, on his promise to see
that the youthful culprit was remov-
ed to the Quaker City institution of
correction, free of expense to Wayne
county, was given charge of young
Hennigan.
What happened when he returned
to Scranton may best be told in his
own words:

AS We ARE RATED
So ARE We TAXED
All Kinds and Conditions
OF Taxable Jobs
THEY RANGE FROM $3.50 DOWN
TO THE $25 CLASS.
Are you a $3.50 man?

ARE you d pHOU man
Maybe you are 5000 man? Per.
chance, you are included in the $3.50
| class? The 500 list is the most
popular, and there is a bare posi-.
bility that you are classified with
the SIS crowd. Let us hope you
are not numbered among the $25
clan.
The man who draws teeth, and
the men who draw the largest salar-
les, come in under Glass $3.50.
The men who draw up wills and
legal documents; the men who draw
money from the bank till to pay
your checks; the men who draw
all, like the prophets of old, hang
together.
Peradventure, you are entrusted
with the management of some large
concern. You may even belong to
the large and fourishing group of
policy" writer's. Your lot may
have fallen in editorial places. Your
ambition to become a bank president
may have reached its fulfllment.
You may be punching tickets on the
Mountain Limited, or holding the
throttle on Engine 999. In any of
these events, you are included in the
5000 class.
Do you homeward plod your
weary way, when night falls on the
sultry hills and dales of Wayne? Do
you spend your days and nights
tracking criminals to their lair? Do
you keep horses for hire? If you
do, the $3.50 class is yours.
There's jolly company in the 500
class. First of all, there's the ice
man to keep us poor in Summer, and
the policeman to keep us safe in
Winter; and there's the chauffeur
to keep our purses empty all the
year around.
The tonsorial artist who scrapes
us twice week, is in the 500
class too. There's the photo
grapher to snap us at our best, and
the cynical reporter alert to catch
us at our worst. It's a motely
crowd, that 500 company, to say
the least.
Labora omnia vincit. The stu
dent, whose knowledge of Latin is
limited to 'tempora does fugit,"
shares the honors of the SIS class
with his brother, who earns his liv-
ing by the sweat of his brow.
And the $25 class? Here's hop
ing and praying you aren't number
ed among them; for that includes
the aged, the crippled, the invalid
and the incapacitated.
All that has been written above
may be cleaned by any one who
may run through the pages of any
assessors book in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
AS we are rated, so we are taxed.
And the Act of Assembly most
thoughtfully provides, that persons
having more than one occupation
should be assessed with the occupa-
tion rated highest" If you have
two irons in the fire, these feeble
words of explanation may help you
out with your story, when the as
SCISSOR comes around next time!

JEFFRIES LOST (?)

Los Angeles.-There is consider
able anxiety here among the friends
of James j. Jeffries, the pugilist, who
is hunting on the Kenai peninsula,
Alaska, far from civilization. Gables
received from Seward, Alaska, to-day
declare that two weeks ago scouts
were sent into the wilds of the penin-
sula to locate Jeffries and send him
back here to the bedside of his moth
er, who is i'll. The scouts searched
for two weeks, but reported that they
could md no trace of the pugilist.
The Kenai peninsula is in a very wild
country and the pugilist's friends
here fear he may have lost his way.

the dean of the Honesdale medical
profession. For Amore than half a
century he has practiced at the eoun-
ty seat. In the early 70's the whole
county was his parish. He is a men,
ber of the Honesdale Board of Health
and ever since it's organization has
been President of the Honesdale
Medical society.
AS a man of wealth he has been
approached dozens of times by land
boomers. They failed, however, to
find in him the easy, gullible victim
they expected. He never bit.
1t is the opinion of The Citizen
that those farmers in Wayne county
who have been induced to invest in
Florida land schemes, ought to pause
awhile and consider before selling
their farms here, and going down to
Florida, and drop their patrimony
and hard-earned savings of life
time.

have trouble if we went up the river with Dennis.
 We held a meeting and decided that it would be just as well for us to pole up the river with his boat ourselves. We worked on the boat for three weeks, but Cane knew nothing about boating or rivers. I steered the boat for two or three days, but Cane got jealous of of me- We were about twenty five miles from Fort George,'a Hudson Bay company post, so we thought we would leave him and go through the woods with our packs on our backs. We were nine days on the road. From Fort George we employed a guide to take us to Telegraph Trail. That trail took us to the lakes. We ran out of food on the way.
 We had to eat grass and flour sack and moccasin soup in order to live. At last we came to an Indian camp, where there was a priest, Father Magagan. There was a good d-sized store there, and the priest ordered them to make a good dinner for us, and they did. We had a blanket for table cloth. I thought we had as fine a dinner as l ever had on Christmas day.
 We each gave the Indians $10. They did not want to take the money, but we. insisted. We bought provisions from them, and then we started for the lakes. We crossed the lake in canoes to the Hudson Bay post and from there we went to Tatla Lake, and from there to the mine We were not very sue cessful there, although we remained during the summer, and in the fall went down the Skeena river and thence to Victoria.
 Next spring I determined to go back. A party of us left Victoria together, but at the mouth of the Skeena John Smith and I left the others and went in on the ice The ice was slushy and bad
 At an Indian village we hired three Indians to pack for us. We were couple of weeks on the trail and the Indians wanted to quit us and go back. We resolved to shoot the Indians if they did not go with us. Noticing how closely they were watched, the In dians decided to go on.
 We came to a pass where we lost frying pan. We named the pass "Fry Pan Pass,' and it still bears that name to this day. At lake we came to we were compelled to cross on our hands and knees because the ice was so weak, and it took us whole day. We spoiled all our provisions, but we were lucky enough to find a cabin when we got there. We took rest for several days.
 I spent a couple of weeks with the prospectors at Vital creek, but we did not find much pay, so we went on to Jamison creek, where we took up claims. I spent that summer at Jami- son creek, and returned there again the following summer. I found little pay, however, and went to Bear lake. Here we found the Indians bad, and they were encouraged by the Hudson Bay company, who did not want the miners around. We remained until fall, however, and the next summer went to Cassear. I did not make a dollar there, however, and after remaining there three seasons, I went to Sitka.
 I arrived in the fall and went to

WRANGELL GETS LARGE

Thursday morning E. H, Joseph, rep resenting the Columbia & Northern Fishing and Packing company, closed the deal with the Wrangell Dock X Cold Storage company for the new dock and the brewery building.
 The old Fort Wrangell brewery building will be converted into large cold storage plant and work will begin on the interior as soon as the materi- als can be obtained.
 The speciality of the company has been mildcuring salmon for the German market. They have been operating on a small scale at Ideal Cove, but the fishing outlook at Wrangell and viein- ity has warranted the investment in a large cold storage plant.-Wrangell Sentinel.

that he had to struggle to realize IL.

some clew to the common sense of
what he was dong. He did not want
10 kill Tudor. Because that man had

reason that he. Sheldon. should take

True. the fellow had insulted loan by
his subsequent remarks and been
knocked down for it. but because he
had knocked him down was no rea-
son that he should now try to kill him
In this fashion he covered a quarter
