tablishment, invited us to enter, but
she seemed a bit shy when the sub
ject of ghosts was mentioned. l
found that when it came right down
to boarding the what-d' '-ye-call-it in
its den it was much easier to let Ed
do the questioning. That was all
right, too; for he had always lived
in that neighborhood, and l was only
a carpet-bagger from the wilds of
Wayne. Besides, it was his ghost,
not mine, and wasn't it fair for
everybody to look after his own
ghost? Certainly! Certainly!
Nobody in the house had seen the
ghost but girl-a thin, skinny,
black-haired, beady-eyed girl. And
that girl had seen the ghost in all
parts of the house and at all hours
of the day and night. His spook-
ship especially was fond of playing
peek-a-boo in the cellar, where all
that she saw of it was it's hands. She
showed how they looked and ap-
peared. We went all over that
house in the vain search for the
ghost
I'VE seeked him in the rafter room,
And cubbyhole, and press"
but we could find no trail of the
visitor from Shadowland; and yet,
that girl had the nerve to claim that
she saw the "hands" while we were
watching her and wondering.
81 don't see anything" said Ed.
Neither do l." said the writer
hereof.
why, right there! Don't you see
emp" eXcitedly exclaimed the girl
We gave up the hunt in disgust,
coinciding in our opinion that the
girl was little fakir and was trying
to work" her family for some pur-
pose of her own.
Ed is no longer "cub reporter"
but publishes one of the most Won
derfully successful newspapers in the
State, a newspaper that he rescued
from the realms of oblivion and has
made household word" He
doesn't have to "hunt ghosts" any
more, and the only "ghost" he has
anything to do with is the one that
walks" about the Times printery
on its regular and ever welcome pay
days.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1918.

that people are shaking hands here
on our public streets every day.
Why, they do say that at a local
dance here last week some OF, the
Honesdalers actually "shook their
feet" We make this statement as
evidence in the proof of our state
ment that along the hand-shaking
line there is not the slightest dan
ger.
There is bit of fact about hand
shaking that may not be generally
known. Why do people shake hands
with the right hand? No; this is not
a conundrum. There is no funny
business So about it. The custom is
not so very old, and it had it's origin,
thuswise:
A few generations ago every man
carried a sword. Swords are used
by the right hand. In those days
people shook hands with their left
hands, thus their right hands were
free for offense or defense-to
guard against sudden attack or
treachery.
In time the sword-carrying habit
passed away. To offer the left hand
was open to suspicion that the right
might be used to WELD a hidden
weapon. Hence, to avoid even the
suspicion of treachery or open war
fare, the right hand was offered
when people met and hand-shaking
was considered necessity, or the
proper act of good manners.
Honesdale people shake hands
with the right hand, and, if extra
glad to see you, they will offer both
hands at the same time.

There is much discussion in Har-
risburg at all times over the prob
able date for adjournment of the
Legislature and last week this sub
ject for a while threatened to be-
come a real issue because some over
anxious statesmen fear the sacred
cause of reform is in some way or
other going to get double cross of
the most villainous type. AS to de-
tails the suspicious patriots general
1y are hazy, but the charge most fire.
quently heard is that the organiza-
tion Republicans are planning to fix
an early day for the final sitting and
then hold up legislation in the Sen
ate in such way that much of it
will be killed or lost sight of in the
final rush. There does not seem to
be any justification for this presump-
tion. There is much work to be
done by the Legislature and so far
tion to let the body remain in session
until the work is disposed of. Gov.
Tener and Speaker Alter both have
said as much. AS for the work in
the Senate it is proceeding with GUS
tomary celebrity. Days have been fix
ed for committee hearing on all the
important measures and while some
of these dates at first seemed trifle
late, this was because no account was
taken of the fact that the upper
branch will hold no sessions during
the week beginning March 8 in order
that Democratic Senators may attend
the Inauguration of President Will
son. The House also will take an
Inauguration recess.

Maple Sugars Almost Here
Get Supplies of the Murray CO

If you want to know something
about the prices of Sap Buckets, Sap
Pans and other sugar making sup
plies, you can get little hint (only
a little hint, mind you) of how prices
are running by turning to the adver-
tisement of the Murray Co., the big
four-story store where they sell
everything for the farm" But, af-
ter all, you will have to go right to
the store to get complete knowledge
of what they can do for you along
maple sugar making lines.
P. S.-While inspecting their su-
gar making goods, don't forget to
have them show you their poultry
supplies.

NO DANGER! NO DANGER,

Now, this paper desires to arise in
defense of Honesdale. In some way
the impression has gone abroad that
shaking hands in the Maple City is
tabooed, in fact that hand-shaking in
Honesdale is positively a dangerous
pastime, and that the proffered hand
is apt to cause the one who makes
the proffer to experience sensation
of being knocked down forthwith
Now, what do you know about
that!"
We want to assure people from

our beautiful town that there isn't

GHOST HUNTING IN
LACKAWANNA COUNTY.

E. ]. Lynett, the eminently popu-
lar and successful editor of the
Scranton Times, in commenting on
the removal of the office of publica-
tion of The Wayne Countean from
Hoadleys to Honesdale, and of the
recent addition to the staff of The
Wayne Citizen of Frank P. Wood
ward, The Wayne Countean's editor
and publisher, among some very
pleasant things said of Mr.. Wood
ward, refers to an incident that oc-
Cured thirty-siX years ago when he,
Mr.. Lynett was, as he styles him
self, "a cub reporter on the late Sun
day morning Free Press"
The writer hereof remembers the
incident quite yividly. Young Lynett
came in from his Dunmore home, his
cheeks all aglow with youthful ardor
and pure blood, and reported that
there was a "sure thing" haunted
house in Petersburg!
Ghosts! Great, grisly, grey ghosts!
That was something worth while! We
had always wanted to see a genuine
ghost-providing we had company
We didn't banker to be "seein'
things at night when we were all
alone. But ghosts in the daytime,
with good company to help enjoy
the sight and sensation, was some
thing different.
Would Ed go with us to see the
ghost? He didn't care. Sure it was
quite walk, but the sensation might
be worth the effort. And so we went
The haunted house was in the con-
fines of that part of Scranton called
Petersburg, which lies on the hill
between Dunmore and the Electric
City. The house was a small, un-
pretentious affair, and 1t didn't seem
possible that it was large enough to
shelter a fair-sized family and a full
grown ghost at the same time.

probably was also boss of the es-

FIRES AND FIRE PRECAUTIONS

The subject of fires has recently
become the burning topic of the
times. Within very few days the
county seat of Old Wayne has been
the scene of several destructive fires.
Golfers Weekly is publishing a SER
les of articles along the confagration
line that, although we'll written, are
unpleasant reading, after all, for
there is too much of a suggestive ma
ture wrapped up in the statements
there so boldly made.
A few years ago the writer was a
visitor in the old Moravian town of
Salem, North Carolina. He was in
formed that Salem seldom had fire,
and the reason was because somebody
was held responsible for every fire
that occurred in the town. The re-
suit was that everybody was careful.
There were no carelessly built chin
neys. Flues were frequently cleaned.
Every member of the household was
taught to guard against whatever
might lead to a fire that could not
be easily controlled. The result as
stated above was that Salem had no
fires.
We also learn that in Berlin,
Germany, someone is held RESPONSE
bile for every fire. The police inves-
tigate and the person or persons
found responsible pay the costs OF
putting out the blaze and damages
besides. The annual fire loss in Ber-
lin is only 100000 while in Chicago
a city of the same size, it is $6,0OO,-
600 annually. This tends to show
the number of fires due to human
carelessness in permitting conditions
to exist favorable to starting a con-
Migration. The property loss is not
the only thing involved, but infinite
ly more important, human lives pay
the penalty of carelessness in this
matter of fires"
Some such system will have to be-
come a national rule of order in the
United States, judging from the rap
i'd growth of loss of property by con-
flagration.

his smiling face in this department
from week to week. We hope you
will like him-we hope all readers
of The Citizen will like him. He in
tends to keep busy, and you will find
him ION the job" regularly in every
Fridays issue of this paper, rain or
shine, unless he should happen to be
out of town or something.
By the way, we want to emphasize
the fact that this department stands
for something worth while. 1t stands
for everything that is practical along
the advertising line. 1t stands for
everything that is honorable in the
business world. 1t stands for real
news along the lines of business in
Honesdale and this part of Wayne
county. 1t will try hard to be wise,
to be helpful, to be cheerful, to be
interesting, to be intensely readable.
For years we have believed in the
good common sense embodied in the
saying that
'He who has thing to sell
And goes and whispers it down a
well,
Isn't half so apt to collar the
dollars
AS he who climbs tree and
hollers."
We still believe in the same good old
line. This paper is your tree" You
may climb it and "holler," or we are
perfectly willing to do the "holler-
ing" for you. We have good lungs,
and there is nothing the matter with
our advertising vocal cords, thank

PEOPLES FORUM.
A Dog Question.

Mr.. Editor: Will you kindly en-
tighten me upon the following
quandary?
Why can some people keep two
ours year after year and pay tax on
only one, while another man pays
his tax yearly for blooded bull dog
which, when enticed to leave home
by the ours, is shot down? l sup
posed the tag was for protection.
Yours truly,
SCRIBE.
Editors Note-There are two
reasons, one of which may be as
signed as the cause of the owner of
two dogs paying tax for only one.
The first if the owner did not in
form the assessor that he was the
owner of two dogs. Second, the as
SCISSOR knowingly refused to assess
both dogs to the owner. AS to the
blooded dog being shot while wear
ing his tag. The tag itself is pro-
lection to the dog only so far as that
the dog could not be declared a nui-
sance while wearing the tag unless
he had committed some offense
which would entitle the person in
jured to kill the dog. If the dog
was killed by some person, malici-
ously or without cause, such person
woud be liable in damages to the
owner of the dog
