Mr. John Smith of Keeno, never
tires of talking to his old ncuualnt
nneos of the things that hnve hap
pened about Keonc, Stcono and
Prompton for the past SO years.
Mr. Smith's memory Is remarkable
for a man of his years, especially
while enjoying a good smoke.
Mr. Rucklnnd of Ste'ene Is prob
ably an older resident of Keene
and Stccne than Mr. Smith, but he
remembers nothing of the past but
bis fishing expeditions, away back
when Keene Lake was surrounded
on all sides by a dense forest. lie
claims that he would go while the
women folks built the lire, nnd
would be back by the time the frying
pan was hot with fish enough to feed
a large family all dny, fisli averag
ing from one. two. four and six
pounds. He says In those days the
butchers couldn't afford automobiles
or drive a fast horse. Later ho will
of tobacco to keep Ills memory Irom
wandering.
Another old timer in this section
is Mr. Uennie. who has been, and is
yet, n great trapper, so much so
that its a very sly fox or mink that
will pass ills traps without being
enticed to tnste of the death-dealing
bait, or to get in range of nn old
ne'ver-miss rltlo. Hint is always ready
for emergency, but as Mr. Uennie
doesn't use tobacco in any form, it's
bard for him to keep his nerves
steady enough to relate some of his
thrilling experiences in trapping,
hut he will give us something in the
near future.

Yesterday's thaw lowered the
snow banks in this vicinity very
much. It was rumored that if the
snow went away with a rush, as it
does occasionally, that tho Bordens
would have to ship the milk from
here to Honesdale on a scow, as
no team would be able to make the
trip, but at present everything looks
favorable for an early spring nnd
no serious floods.
During the past winter moro
horses have been injured than usual
ly; this is due to the great depth
of snow, making it difficult for
teams to travel on the highways.
