On Saturday the Honesdale
High school base ball team defeated
the Bethany team at the latter place
by the score of 12 to C.
Still the sweet slumbers of the
six o'clock snoozer succumb to the
shrieks of the soul-startling syren.
Surely, 'tis sad.
Sunday was a cool, beautiful
day, and Honesdale had many visi

he counted .IS strange automobiles
on Main street.
The Wayne County Savings

A report is in circulation that
the Standard Oil Co. is about to

The Milford Press says that
the application of "gluteln" to the

A traveling salesman for a

It is said that there is dissatis
faction in some quarters, that the

the best?

"How to get rid of ants on a
lawn," read a Church street young
lady to her chum, last evening.
"Wonder how they do that." "I
know how we did It," was the re
sponse. "We Just didn't Invite her

girls never could have a gentleman
caller, that she wasn't sticking
around."
We wouldn't really enjoy hav

There were 1,070 smiling (?)

Burglars abducted from the
home of Thomas Klrkwood, of River
street, Carbondale, last Saturday
night, seven dollars In money. Such
a large sum of currency should nev

what the abductor thought.
Honesdale, for handsome, lady
like, nlcely-attlred young women, can
give points to any town of Its size In
the country, and easily win. That, at
least, Is the opinion of all visitors
here, and it speaks well for Hones
dale. Mrs. Elizabeth Pfelfer, aged 87,
died at her home in Aldenvllle, on
Saturday. The funeral was held
yesterday morning (Tuesday) at
9:30, at St. Mary Magdalen's church;

Two young men of Scranton, on
Sunday night, "held up" two burly
citizens on the street, and asked for
a chew of tobacco. They were Im
mediately "necked" by the outraged

"chew" in Scranton.
Rev. Dr. Woolston, of Philadel

Maurice, aged eleven years, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Avery, died
at his home in Scranton Saturday,
from injuries received by loose pow
der, while celebrating July 4th.
W. T. McAndrews, claironet
player In the 13th Regt. Band, died
'at Camp John Denithorne, Mt.
Gretna, last Monday night of peri
tonitis. Two young people of this place
had "an awful" experience last
night. They wandered In the woods
in the afternoon until, as they say,
they were "completely lost." When
they restored themselves to their
families at 11 p. m. there was great
rejoicing. The "old man" says that
next time that couple goes out he
will surely send a guide.
Don't send any more tinselled
or frosted post cards, or, at least,
don't attempt it, unless you place
them in closely sealed envelopes.
If you do, they will land promptly
in the dead letter office. This ac
tion on the part of the Government
is to save the mail-clerk's eyes, and
also the muss which the tinsel and
"frost" causes in its offices and mail
bags. The Monticello Watchman tells
of a boy who celebrated the 4th in
" bang-up" style. He was firing a
small cannon, and the thing failed to
go off. He picked it up and intensely
scrutinized its Interior. That caused
the gun to remember itself and It
"went." The lad now sees the world
with one eye, he Is minus two fingers,
his countenance Is twisted, and he is
nursing three broken ribs. Ho had
a "big time."
Wllkes-Barre has a "bridge of
sighs." Grace Dean and her lover
had a quarrel Saturday last, and she
sought to "loose the golden thread"
by Jumping off the North street
bridge. She was pulled out of the
water, notwithstanding her declara
tions that she wanted to die and her
recreant lover was arrested. Just
what the charge aganst him is, does
not appear. It may be possible that
It Is against the city's ordinances to
have a misunderstanding with one's
best girl.
The Sunday school of Grace
Episcopal church will gather in the
Sunday school rooms on Wednes

sports and games of all sorts, Includ
ing, It is hoped, a base ball game

school and the Honesdale Sunday
The Mannerchor Society and a
number of friends held their annual
outing at Fortenia on Sunday.
This is the season when lawyers
take their annual rest, and peace
will again "hover" for a little while.
The winsome strawberry has
made its annual adleux to this lo
cality, much to the grief of its ad
mirers. The Westfleld Free Press has
discovered a wild man in the woods
near that place. There are some
newspaper men who can make a
paper Interesting, even when real
news Is dull.
Many of our exchanges complain
that the trees are already losing their
foliage, and that It is due to the ap
petite of the plant-louse. State En
tomologist Fell tells them not to
worry about it as the natural enemies
of the louse, as the lady bug and
the maggots of the flower flies will
soon do for them.
