Frederick Meisinger is
Sick at His Eddy Home.

Frederick Meisinger, one of the
oldest residents of Hawley, is seri-
ously i'll at his home at the Eddy.
Mr.. Meisinger has been very active
man all the years of his life. The

and he was an old resident of Haw-
ley at that time. For years he was
an employe of the d. &c H. Canal
Co., and ran a boat on " the raging

years as a boatman he purchased

the real estate business, and sold
many Wayne County farms to peo-
pie in the larger cities. AS a real
estate man he was known as a
hustler, and many and varied are
the stories that are told of the sales
he made. Mr.. Meisinger's many
friends are anxious for his speedy re-
covery.

That Turtle Sign
Was q Failure.

Sayl The dear reader " has one
over on us, all right! The writer
hereof has generally regarded wealth
er prophecies and season prognosti-
cations as belonging to that class
that is denominated as old wives
fables" or " old women's whims" !;
but he sometimes falls " to those
very things, in fact becomes an easy
mark. He looked upon all such
things as signs and moon !"
planting lore as the veriest nom
sense, and generally laughs when he
sees the new moon over his left
shoulder, regardless of the ill luck
that such view is supposed to bring
There have been others who saw
things along that line. John Gay,
the English poet, who died before
the historical tea party" that pre-
luded the American Revolution took
place, evidently failed to believe in
" signs" and he expressed his ideas
in some pretty good poetry, too. For
instance, in his poem, " Fables" he
says:
"Alas! you know the cause too well;
The salt is split, to me it fell.
Then to contribute to my loss,
My knife and fork were laid across;
On Friday, too! the day 1 dread;
Would l were safe at home. in bed! .
Last night Il vow to heaven it's true)
Bounce from the fire coffin flew.
Next post some fatal news shall tell;
God send my Cornish friends be
WE'LL"
Well, week or two ago, on a de-
lightfully warm Spring morning
while on his way from Hoadleys to
Hawley he saw several turtles sun
ming themselves on logs, evidently
not caring whether school kept or
not, and, never having seen turtles
out so early in the season, he con-
cluded that their appearance must
mean that there would be no more
ice, and that it was time to plant
potatoes and begin shivering over
the forthcoming ice bill. Well, you
all know what has taken place since
then-ice, snow, frost, overcoats,
everything from a flood to a bliz-
zard; and we have changed our
minds about the possible truth that
might lie behind the early appear
ance of turtles; unless the truth
points towards plenty of cold wealth
er. In fact, after this when we see
big turtles summing themselves on
logs in March we shall be inclined
to suspect that they are out chasing
up old Winter, in fact that they are
acually coaXing him to linger right
along all Summer.

Would Be "Kidndper' Gets
Six Months In Jail.
HIS COMPANION FINED SIS.
After Sinclair Pleaded Guilty to AS
sault He Was Taken to Prison-Fa-
ther of Girl Thinks He Was Let
Off Easy-Also Fined $500.

Allentown, Pa, April 10-Samuel
Sinclair was sentenced to six months
in the county prison and fined $500
and costs here for his part in the at
tempted kidnapping" of Miss Anne E.
Steckel on Jan. II. r. Walter Starr,
Jr., his companion, was fined $25 and
costs.
Sinclair pleaded guilty to aggravated
assault and battery. He was taken to
prison at once to begin his sentence.
Starr pleaded to assault and battery.
He paid his fine and returned to his
home in Philadelphia shortly after.
Sinclair received his sentence without
exhibiting any emotion and surren-
dered himself to the court officers with.
out a tremor
Reuben p. Steckel, the father of the
girl, whose fortune is estimated at
nearly $1,0O0,O0O, said after the SEN
tence that he thought the young men
had been let off easy, but that he was
satisfied with the penalty pronounced
by the court.
II thought Sinclair should have had
longer term" said Mr.. Steckel, but
must be satisfied with the courts
ruling. Starr was with him and to a
certain extent also responsible"
Miss Steckel was here. but refused
to be seen. Mr.. Steckel said she was
out when the announcement of the sen
tence was brought to him.
Sinclair and Starr arrived here and
went Immediately to the court, where
Judge Heydt of Carbon county sat to
hear their pleas! Judge Trexler, who
usually presides, did not wish to hear
the proceedings, as he is a near neigh
Dor and friend of the Steckels and as
such felt that he had too special an in
terest in the case. 1t is said that Miss
Steckel on several occasions went to
the TreXler home to escape the atten-
tions of Sinclair.
Sinclair and Starr, who Immediately
after the kidnapping" had waived
hearing and furnished $4,000 bail each
for appearance at court, were escorted
into the courtroom by their attorney,
former District Attorney Fred B. Ger
nerd. They were accompanied by
their fathers. Samuel Sinclair and DR..
Walter Starr. Sr., a professor in the
department of chemistry at the Medico-
Chirurgical college, Philadelphia, where
young Starr is a senior.
On behalf of Sinclair, Mr.. Gernerd
assured the court that the reason of
Sinclair's actions was purely and sim
ply affection for the young woman.
This affection, he declared, was of the
most honorable character. That a mis-
take had been made he admitted, and
for Sinclair he entered plea Of aggra-
vated assault and battery and for Starr
Of simple assault and battery.
Mr.. Gernerd said that the young lady
was entirely innocent in the affair. He
confessed for Sinclair that Miss Steck-
81 was not in league with the attempt
ed kidnapping" nor could Sinclair
claim that she had in any way encour-
aged his attentions or led him to be-
ieve that she cared for him. Speaking
for Sinclair, Mr. Gernerd added that
Miss Steckel was wholly and entirely
innocent.

Hawley Silk Mills Feel
Effect of Paterson Strike.

Considerable complaint is heard
regarding the local condition of the
silk industry in Hawley that is di-
rectly affected by the unfortunate
strike now in progress in the city of
Paterson, N. j.
The materials that are used in the
Hawley mill come from Paterson,
where certain preliminary work is
done. The strike shuts off the
source of supply of the Hawley
mills, and thus is seen how a strike
in city one hundred and fifty miles
away can seriously affect the inter-
ests of the people right here in
dear Old Wayne"

Deception Pass Ferry Now Running

Commissioner ANDY Mi t h e
started in last week on a short
piece of roadway necessary to con-
meet with the ferry at Deception
Pass and finished it in record time.
The landing was also constructed
and people wishing to visit WILDLY
island or come from there to the
mainland may now get across. The
ferry scow is in operation and as
the roads on both sides are in good
condition no doubt many autoists
will take advantage of the situa-
ton. Already a party OF autoists
from WILDLY island tried to get
across but the road and landing on
this side had not been completed
then. =
It is expected that this will make
one of the most popular side trips
in this section of the country for
tourists and auto owners during the
summer. r.-Anacorte Citizen.

of sheep. So far as known there
are none like them in the United
States. They are what is known as
the Armenian fat-tailed sheep.
which is noted for its wonderful
food value. These sheep have tails
that weigh so pounds each ard the
tails are used extensively for food.
The tails are so heavy that little
carts are made and hitched behind
the sheep with the tail upon it and
the animal hauls his tail on the cart
which enables it to move about
more conveniently.
