NOT MUCH LEFT AFTER
HE PAID THE COSTS

Chose to be His Own Lawyer in Col
lecting So Wages He Made No De-
mand For--'Squire Says That Isn't
the Way to Collect Bills.
A little comedy was enacted be-
fore Squire Robert A. Smith in the
court house on Wednesday morning
in the form of suit in assumpsit
brought by William Kenner, form
Yerly of Cherry Ridge township,
against Nathaniel Lang, Of the same
township.
Kenner worked for Lang, helping
the latter construct a concrete foun-
dation on the VIM. Roger house on
River street last week. For some
reason Lang desired to dispense
with the services of Kenner and told
the young man that he could go.
That was last Friday night. Kenner
did not like his manner of discharge
and instead of going to Lang and
demanding his pay he went before
the Justice of the Peace and secur-
ed summons. Officer j. ]. Canivan
served the summons on Lang and a
hearing was held before Squire
Smith Wednesday morning.
Lang was there with the cash and
said that he was ready to pay Ken
ner any time he wanted it. Ken
ner had sued for $S, the amount of
his wages for work done while
Lang's bill showed that $8.07 was
due. Kenner acknowledged that he
had failed to ask Lang for his pay
before he had the summons issued
and Squire Smith informed him that
that was not the proper way to col
lect bill. Kenner lost his case and
besides that had to pay the costs
which amounted to $2.45, the
Squire having made them as light
as possible. Kenner, after paying
the costs had only $500 remaining
of the original $S.07, but he had re-
ceived $2.40 worth of legal advice.

Everybody-the farmer included
will be interested in the new State
law regulating weights and meas
ures which takes effect on January
1, less than two months from now.
Heavy penalties are provided for vio-
Iations of the new law. The fines
will reach as high as $3.50. Take
the item of potatoes, for instance.
Beginning with New Years day the
standard bushel of potatoes will be
60 pounds, and not Sc pounds. The
custom of buying from the grower
60 pounds for the bushel, and SELL
ing Sc pounds to the customer, will
subject the dealer to a severe pen
atty. All parties interested should
note this carefully. The old custom
of measuring a bushel of vegetables,
etc., will after that date be matter
of the past. For the information
and convenience of Citizen readers
we publish the new schedule Of
weights and measures in another
column. Better cut it out and save
1t for reference.

COOK-SCHWEsINGER.

The marriage of Louis ]. Cook
and Miss Sabina Schwesinger, both
of Honesdale, occurred in st. Mary
Magdalen's church at six o'clock
Tuesday morning. Rev. j. w. Balta
celebrated the nuptial mass. The
bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Schwesinger of Terrace
street. The young couple left on
the early Delaware & Hudson train
for Scranton after which they will
spend some time at Wilkes-Barre.
They will reside ON Terrace street
upon their return home.

Arbitration nearly always results
In a compromise of some kinda
splitting the difference of the opposi-
ton so to speak in order that both
factions may be satisfied. So it was
In the demands of the railway con-
ductors and trainmen for an increase
in wages. The men get an increase
of per cent. which is about one-half
of what they asked for but they are
satisfied. BY this it will mean that
the railroads will necessarily be
compelled to add $6,00O,000 to their
yearly pay rolls. The gross earnings
of the railroads are running much
higher than last year but so are their
expenses. The addition of an extra
$6,000,000 to the expense list will
strengthen their demand for the 5
per cent. increase in freight rates. If
the railroads succeed in this the
shipper will in a way pay for the
increase of the salaries of the con-
ductors and trainmen. The arbitra-
ton was not a question of principle
but question of how much or lit
tie, a settlement with the men could
be affected.

LET THE INDEPENDENT SHOW
UP,

The political gangsters of the state
have always fooled the people with
the statement that local taxpayers
did not have to pay any state tax.
Every man and newspaper editor OF
intelligence knew this statement was
false and a guy because every dollar
paid into the state treasury as taxes,
whether by corporations, automobil-
lists or anyone else, is dollar of the
peoples money. By direct person
al tax the people of the state have
been paying into the state treasury
more than million a year.-Inde-
pendent, Nov. 70.
Now, will the Independent please
get right down to "glue and brass
tacks?" Let it publish a copy of its
own tax assessment printing in black
type that part of it where its editor
pays State tax, showing the amount
of the same, and on what the tax is
based.
Along with that publication let it
also print a similar statement of
some ordinary farmer-not an auto
mobile owner-just a plain farmer.
Such publication will help clear
up this matter a whole lot. The In
dependent should quit fooling the
people and prove its assertions by
its own experience.

Christian boy who was slain in
March, 1911. The case has been on
trial before the high court at Kieff,
Russia, since October 8. The case
has attracted attention all over the
world where press accounts could
be received, and the sentiment ran

THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

Self-pity, morally, mentally and
physically tends to depress and
weaken the victim, to render him
ineffective and impractical. The
person who is chronically sorry for
himself becomes nuisance. He
thinks the world owes him some
thing, and his one ambition in life
is to collect the debt.-Woman' S
World
