IN MEMORIAM.

At a regular meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Honesdale
National Bank held Monday, June
10, 1912, announcement was made
of the death of Edwin f. Torrey,
the following minute was unani-
mously adopted and directed to be
spread upon the records of the
Bank, and a copy delivered to the
family of the deceased and published
in the county papers.
Edwin F. Torrey died at his home
in Honesdale in the early morning
of Saturday, June s, 1912, at the
age of eighty years. His death
marks the ending of career which
was long and closely identified with
this bank. He was appointed acting
cashier of the Honesdale National
Bank October |, 1874, cashier pro
tenn November 26, 1874, and he was
elected cashier July 6, 1876. He
served continuously in this office un-
til in the year 1911 failing health
tive duties of his position, and on
June 26, 1911, he formally resigned
as cashier, retaining his office as di-
rector however until the time of his
death. For a period of more than
thirty-fiVe years he gave his best
thought and his undivided effort to
the affairs of this bank, and the con-
tinued success of the institution has
been due in great part to his skill
full management, and to his careful
and conservative conduct of its bust
ness. OF absolute integrity and ire
proachable character, he had the
confidence and good will of all who
knew him. Age sat lightly upon
him until the end approached, and
honor crowned him to the last.
With all the citizens of this com
munity we sorrow at his loss, and
to those who were near and dear
to him we extend our heartfelt SYM
pathy.

THE OLD ROMAN LEGION.
Principles Upon Which les Military
Strength Was Buiided.

Principles Upon Which It's Military
Strength Was Buiided.
The Roman military unit was the
legion of from 1000 to 6,OO0 men. di-
vided into ten cohorts. The strength
of Roman arms lay in three things
The first Of these was a careful selec-
ton of men from among such citizens
as were practiced in arms. The sec
ond dependence was upon discipline.
Warlike youths accustomed themselves
to the use of arms as a recreation, so
that it was said that their sports were
battles without bloodshed and their
was the prompt adoption of all i'm
provements suggested by the expert
ence Of foreign wars.
The Roman legion was practically
never defeated so long as these three
principles remained in force The Sc
cret of its strength was the spirit OF
the men, who in their perfect disci-
pline expressed their glory in Rome
and their confidence In themselves.
The most brilliant achievements of
this military instrument were attained
by Caesar, who aroused the devotion
of his troops to the highest point by
making common cause with them in
the pursuit of valor. AS Plutarch says.
HE showed them that he did not heap
up wealth from the wars for his own
luxury or the gratifying of his private
pleasures, but that all he received was
but a public fund, laid by for the re-
ward and encouragement of valor."-

A Chilly ProbIen

How cold is 1t when 1t is twice as
cold as degrees above zero: There
are two zeros. one marked o on the
thermometer and one known as abso
lutte zero. which is understood to mari
the absence Of all heat The zero OF
Fahrenheit's thermometer is obtained
by immersing a tube of mercury in q
mixture Of snow and common salt an6
marking the place where the mercury
stands in the tube. Absolute zero is
459 degrees below this zero Now
twice as cold" is exactly equivalen,
to half as hot Therefore, when it is
half as hot as degrees above zero, OF
461 F.. it is 230.5 degrees below the
zero on the thermometer.

Not a Clothes Pea,

Peggfe Newton had been a faithful
household drudge for years and had
not grumbled much when her wages
We're occasionally passed over. But as
time went ON and her salary fell more
and more into arrears she ventured to
ask for something ION account"
"Why, haven't paid you your wages
lately, Peg? How careless of me-"
her mistress said. I'm sorry l have
no money in the house just now. but
here's a smart cloak which I've ceased
to wear and which is only a wee bit out
of fashion. You'll take 1t in lieu or
wages, won't you?"
mo, ma am, I'm sure I shan't." said
Peg, wrathfully eying the faded old
cloak. "a Peg may be by name. but
