Watch to Pay Costs.
A railroad man from Pttston
cJme to Honesdale the first of last
week 10 see his wife who IL employ
! ed at the Hotel Wayne. The couple
have been estranged for some time,
and the reception he received would
| have put a damper on the ardor of a
| less devoted husband. To say the
least the reception was a cool one
ami consequently the man proceeded
to drown his sorrows in drink Idv-
ing succeeded well in this he began to
! look for trouble. On Tuesday, it Is
alleged, that the railroad man came
1cro,~ a foe near the barn of the
hotel in the person of another man,
who was evidently as full as he was
and was also looking for trouble
The foe made insinuating remarks
about the railroader's wife and the
latter hit him. On Wednesday even
ing, it is alleged, that the railroad
man went into the kitchen OF the
| hotel and threatened to kill his wife
with butcher knife. II seems that
| the man who leases the barn was
very friendly with the wife of the
| railroad man and sent for Officer
| Levi Degroat who, on arriving at
the hotel, found the man in question
taking a peaceful drink to further
| drown his sorrows. He was put in
| the county Jail and a hearing Was set
| for 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. 1t
was after three however when the
warrants were issued for the mans
arrest. A hearing was held at the
home of Squire George Schwesinser
/ n
There was two charges, one preferred
| by the woman and by the disabled
CD young man for assault and bat
terry with attempt to kill.
The woman in the case testified
that she had been married 16 years,
| had two children, and formerly liv-
ed in Pittston. She testified that
| her husband came out in the kitchen
where she was working and picking
up a butcher knife threatened to
cut her heart out. She said that he
! had been arrested for the same Of
fence before in Luzerne county and
was under $500 bond to keep the
| peace She said she was afraid of
| him.
The disabled C?) young man tes-
| titled that he had been given a black
eye by the railroad man, but the
| eye beled the assertion. He said
he saw the prisoner threaten his wife
with the butcher knife.
The man who was landed in Jail,
was a nice appearing young man,
| but admitted he had been drinking
| the night before, but now wholly
| penitent, asked for mercy on his
| bended knee. He denied all the
charges made against him and said
it was all a frame-up. p. II. Iloff,
attorney for the defense, made an
eloquent appeal to Justice Schwes-
| niger to show no mercy. The justice
placed the bail in each case at $500.
Some time before the 4:40 train
went out of Honesdale the matter
was settled between the parties and
the railroad man left town, promis-
! ing never to return, and also leaving
| his watch to cover the costs.

HOW TO HOLD YOUR BODY.

Glance at the next consumptive
you meet. Nine times out of ten his
chest will be fiat. This may be be-
cause of his disease. The chances
are, however, that one reason why
he got consumptive was because he
didn't carry himself properly.
You are not taking good care OF
your body unless you hold yourself
in a natural position. When the
body is erect your heart, lungs,
stomach, etc, have the maximum
amount of space. The minute you
bend or strain your body you are
cramping or putting out of place
some of its organs.
When you stand, make yourself as
tall as possible. Your chest should
be high; your abdomen fiat. Your
head should be erect. Allow your
shoulders to rest easily upon your
chest without straining any of your
muscles. Your legs should be
straight and your weight should be
borne chiefly upon the balls of the
feet.
Don't bend the spine in the mid
die. Don't slouch, with abdomen out
and shoulders stopped, as many men
do when they stand with their hands
in their pockets. Don't crook your
back when you sit in a chair and
don't slip down until your weight
is on the small of your back.
II you are going to treat your
body fairly, give its organs plenty OF
room by keeping the trunk erect and
straight. Remember this, no matter
what you are doing-walking run
ming, skating, standing or sitting

tary, Pennsylvania Society for the
