WHEN THE TOOTH ACHES
by Wing Dinger

ny hAhE
1t beats all how the toothache
VIII hit you in the night,
And set you almost crazy
Till long after daylight.
You start to dentists office
Quite early the next day,
But just before you enter
The darned pain goes away.
Last evening one of my teeth
Got busy with an ache.
l telephoned the dentist
And said. For mercy's sake
Tell me how to relieve it"
He spilled "a lot of talk
And said, Come to my office
To-morrow-ten o'clock"
The tooth kept right on aching
Until nine forty five.
And then | phoned the dentist
And said. Il won't arrive;
The bloomin' pain has left me-"
It's now just half past ten.
I'm going down to see him.
The blamed tooth's off again"

HOME TROUBLE FOR

Slump in Democratic Sentiment and
Poor Registration to Bother
the Candidate Now

While protectionist Bull Moosers are
brandishing their horns and low tariff
Democrats are kicking up their heels
all over the State because of the flu
Vance c. Mccormick for governor,
there is trouble looming up in the
homo county for the Little Boss.
To begin with the Democratic city
and county machines nothwithstand-
ing liberal fabrication, have failed to
stir up the right kind of sentiment for
Mccormick and the heavy Republican
registration and the comparatively
slim Democratic registration in Har-
risburg in spite of strenuous work by
the machine men and appeals by the
Patriot have been a cause of sorrow
to the sorely tried candidate. The
registration of Republicans in the city
for two days was 1850 and of Demo-
Gratis 2,261, the Washington party
sliding down to 473.
And now on top of this dsconcert-
ing disposition of the home folks to
take the Little Boss seriously there are
rumors that the Democratic legisla-
tive candidates in the second district,
T. b. SaSsaman and d. w. Schaffner
are finding that good many Demo-
Gratis are not pleased at the alleged
scheme to have them withdraw in
favor of Lenker and Martin, the Bull
Moose candidates. In the city friends
of Wilmer Crow and ]. w. Barker
openly say that they will not stand for
Jesse ]. Lybarger or John A. Mar
shall being put on the Washington
ticket. The failure of Lybarger to
get the endorsement of certain bodies
and his continued series of defeats
have caused many to lose interest in
his candidacy.

LOCATED IN S A N D GATE
When Foreclosure Followed Inabli-
ty to Meet Mortgage Attorney
General Became Counsel

A chancery case of unusual inter
est is being heard before Judge l.. p.
Slack at the county court house this
week. Clark Hamilton of this vii
lage, former resident of Sandgate,
has brought foreclosure proceedings
against Paul Gobel and Catharine
Gobel now residing in Manchester
and Rose Susskine and Marta Tried,
The two latter residing in New York.
The proceeding is brought TO fore
close a mortgage on a farm sold by
hamilton about two years ago to
Gobel. The prope,t is located in
SYNDICATE and consists of about 400
lcres of land. Susskine and Trieb
IRE involved in the case for the rea-
sen that they acted as real estate
agents in the sale of the property.
The purchaser eventually abandon
I'd the farm and moved to Manches-
er where he is now living. When
he property was sold to Gobel he
gave Hamilton mortgage and the
to,eclosure proceeding was instituted
when the purchaser failed to pay the
mortgage.
AS Gobel is a German and unable
to make himself easily understood
and as he was a strangsasin ssrange
and his case was taken up by the
state commissioner of agriculture.
Application was made to the COVER
nor and the attorney general was in
stTucted to look out for the int ests
Of the immigrant.
1t is claimed by counsel acting in
the interests of Gobel that the value
of the property was misrepresented
at the time of the sale and that Ham
lton is responsible in so far as he
employed Susskine and Trieb. The
general opinion of those who have
cooked into the case, both here and
n Arlington, that whatever mis- 'epre-
5entation there might have been was
on the part of the real estate agents
md for their own financial gain. 1t
would also appear that Hamilton was
recovering no moro than the property
was worth and that the large profit
in the transaction was made by the
cal estate agency.
Attorney general r. E. Brown and
his assistant Z. r. Moulton arrived
here Monday night. They are &C
companied by A. H. Appleman profes
sor in German at the University of
Vermont who comes for the purpose
of acting as interpreter. Holden &
Healy appear for Hamilton.

Appeal from Decision OF Kings
Bench Fails
TICKET CONDITIONS ILLEGAL.
Court of Appeals Holds That Proper
Caution Was Not Exercised by
Capt. Smith
TICKET CONDITIONS ILLEGAL

London, Feb 9.-The Court of APP
peal today sustained the decision OF
tho Kings Bench court which in
test case brought last June By an
irish farmer claiming damages for
the loss OF his son in the Titanic dis
aster, declared Illegal the condition
printed on the steamship tickets eX-
empting the company from liability
for loss by a passenger even through
negligence OF the company's SER
wants.
The judgment of the Court OF Ap-
peal in dismissing the appeal of the
White Star Steamship company from
that decision, was delivered by Lord
Justice Sir Roland Vaughan Williams
who declared that practice did not
justify a vessel in maintaining her
course and speed when the warnings
Of dangers ahead were such as the
Titanic received.
The only answer, he said, which
the owners of the Titanic could give
to the charge of negligent navigation
in proceeding at full speed under the
circumstances preceding the disaster
was that this was the custom OF
steamers crossing the Atlantic under
the most skilled navigators. Expert
A. nIl. cft
that such was the practice.
On the othes hand. there was ex-
pert evidence that under conditions
extremely hazardous a prudent ma
vigator was justified in departing
from the general practice.
Capt. Smith by deyiating for time
from the usual lane of travel on &C
count of warnings OF Ice gave proof
that he himself recognized that the
usual practice was not binding on
him where prudence dictated precau
tons in order to avoid danger.
Considering the circumstances un-
der which the Titanic was lost, the
lord justice said -
whether the occasion was such as
to require departure from the general
practice was question for the jury
to decide. The duty OF those navi,
eating a ship is to use reasonable
care. It was for the jury TO find
whether there had been failure TO
perform this duty. IL the jury had
before it evidence upon which it
might reasonably conclude there was
such failure the verdict cannot be
disturbed. To my mind il is impos-
siblc to say that in the present case
there was no evidence upon which
the jury might nnd as it did-that
there had been negligence"
