about them, while others would kill
us if wc did. It Is ii comforting
thought to the editor to know the
.Lord himself did not pleji.se every
one on earth. Wc labor hard to
entertain and tickle our subscribers,
but that we should occasionally fail
is to he expected,

The car was not full of fish when

the superfluous weight of flsh that
was responsible for tho breakdown
on tho road. Anyhow, all four had a
rattling good time and, came back
feeling good. That Is the principal
thing.

Cortelyou went to tho cabinet, Is
tho Oyster Bay choice and probably
tho Whlto House choice. Mr. Ben

"If that scrap had been 20 years
ngo," snid a Honesdale hotel man

er within their recollection.
On Nov. 5, last year, Slke and
Leona had a light over boundaries

arrested for assault and bat
tery. The case was tried at Hones
dale Jan. 19 and Leona was found
not guilty. The costs were divided
equally.
"Mr. Lord may or may not live,"

yet. Of course, his age Is against
him."
"The report of 20 cuts in the head
from the pick and hoe are an exag
geration. He has about seven, com
mencing over the ear. He is con
scious today, knows what is going
on, and realizes who hit him."
