Death of Mrs. G. r.. Baker.

Mrs. Angeline Kraft, widow of the
late c. e. Baker, of Waymart, died
of neuralgia of the heart at her home
last Thursday night, after a week s
illness Mrs. Baker was well known
in Grand Army Post and East Star
Circles, and the announcement of
her sudden death will be a surprise
to her many friends in Honesdale
and vicinity. Mrs. Baker attended a
meeting of the election of the East
ern Stars in Waymart on the eve
ming of the 1th instant, a week prior
to her demise. She had always been
in good health up to this time.
The deceased was well and favor

and her esteemed husband lived for

Death of Oscar Dunning.

Oscar .Dunning passed away Dec.
IL, 1913, at his home at Uswick. Mr..
Dunning was born at Warnersing, in
the State of New York. in the year
1883, having been born August 2.
When ne was twenty-three years of
age he enlisted in the army, in Com
pany c, 156th Regiment of the New
York State Infantry (VOiunteers) =,
which was enrolled on the thirteenth
day of August, 1862, to serve three
years, during the war, and was very
honOrably discharged from the ser
vice in Augusta, Ga, on October 2S,
1865, and was taken six months
longer to help gather government
stock
The deceased came to Pennsylva-
mia some forty years ago and has
been a highly esteemed and good
citizen and will be greatly missed
by his wife and son. He was laid at
rest in Lakewille cemetery ON Dec.
20. The Rev. Treat, pastor of the

the Ariel dealers in fresh meat very
popular, and it led to an ever widen
ing business along other lines than
those of fresh meats.
One day not long ago along came a
fire that did a lot of damage to Ariel
property. 1t burned up the building
of Samson & Cook. 1t couldn't burn
up their business, nor could it burn
up their enterprise and enthusiasm.
They made this fire the opportunity
for great step forward in their busi-
ness and in the affairs of Lake Ariel.
They had ideas of their own about
store buildings, and they decided to
put up structure that would be a
realization of their dreams, one that
would be amply large to accommo
date their ever-increasing business.
Out on Maple avenue, nearly op-
posite the church, they selected a
beautiful site, and on it they built a
large structure. 1t is built of ce-
ment, has the effect of dressed stone,
is modern and beautiful in architec-
ture, and is two stories in height,
with a basement under the entire
building.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-12-25

The building is on high ground
and a team may drive right into the
basement for unloading or loading
goods. In this basement are stored
vast amounts of salt meats and fish,
flour, feed and all that line of heavy
groceries generally classed as pro
visions" AS the floor and walls are
of cement, and there is a perfect
system of ventilation, all such goods
keep in that basement in splendid
condition.
The main floor over the basement
is devoted to dry goods, fancy arti-
cles and superior class of groceries.
All of these goods are temptingly dis
played on tables on the floors centre.
On the sides are counters for the sale
Of piece goods. In the front, on the
right as you enter the building, has
been placed a soda water fountain,
and one that is in every way up to
date. This is a hint as to the way

KEEP OFF ID. & H. TRACKS.

Notices were posted last week by
detectives of the Delaware and Hud-
son, warning people to refrain from
walking on the tracks of the COM
pany. Recently on the Honesdale
branch, box cars stored there have
been burned. Last Saturday a num-
Der of boys were taken to the juvenile
court on the charge. Again Sunday
night number of cars were burned.
The company has posted notices
that all persons walking along this
section of the track will be arrested
on charge of trespassing The track
has been used for number of years
as path for men coming from and
going to work.

deed, is the traveller who finds the
doors of THE Maple" open to him
at the time when he is tired and
yearns for the comforts of home. He
finds just the right sort of food,
served exactly to his taste, and when
he seeks rest for the night he doesn't
have to WOO the drowsy god, for his
accommodations are so good that he
couldn't keep awake if he tried. And
when he comes to settle up for all the

the bill actually lower than he can

You have never Travelled down.
Should you chance to enter there
You would find a room all bare;
Not a stocking could you spy,
Matter not how you might try.
And the shoes you'd find are such
AS no boy would care for much.
In a broken bed you'd see
Some one just about like me
Dreaming of the pretty toys
Which you bring to other boys.

Merry only in his dreams.
