Columbus, O., May 22.
To the Editor New York American:
Sir The Ten Commandments
might be construed as follows under
authority of the decision of the
United States Supreme Court In the
case of the Standard Oil company
vs. the United States:
First Commandment Thou shalt
have no unreasonable number of
other gods before Me.
Second Commandment Thou shalt
not make any gtaven image or
any unreasonable likeness of any
thing that Is In heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or
that is In the waters under the
earth; thou shalt not unreason
ably bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them any more than is.
for. thy convenience, for the Lord
thy God Is occasionally a jealous
God, visiting the unreasonable in
iquity of the fathers upon the
children unto a reasonable number
of generations of them that un
reasonably hate him.
Third Commandment Thou shalt
not take the name of the Lord
in vain unreasonably.
Fourth Commandment Six days
shalt tnou labor, so long as such
requirement Is reasonable. But
the seventh day Is the Sabbath;
In It thou shalt not do any more
work than thou dost on a week

maid servant, thy cattle and the
stranger within thy gates shall do
such a reasonable amount as
yields unto thee the highest de
gree of comfort.
Fifth Commandment Reasonably
Ups and Downs of News
boy's Life.
JOE WESTBROOK TELLS 'SQUIRE
SMITH PLAYIX' HOOKEY
ISX'T ALL ITS CIJACKEI)
UP TO HE.
Master Joseph Westbrook, the
fourteen-year-old son of Joseph
Westbrook, of Spring street, Hones
dale, last Monday afternoon at a
hearing before 'Squire Robert A.
Smith, told an interesting story of
the ups and downs in the life of a
Maple City "newsle."
Master Westbrook, who will be
fifteen on August 18, and who has
peddled one of the nearby city even
ing dallies for four years, is a pupil
in the seventh grade of tho Hones
dale public schools, Mrs. W. A. Slu
man being his teacher.
According, however, to the com
plaint made by Principal of Schools,
Harry A. Oday, Joseph, Jr., "truant
ly left the Honesdale High school,
and continued to keep absent from
the said school on several occasions,
contrary to the Act of July 11, 1901,
of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania." In other words he got into
trouble, "for not coming to school,"
as he sobblngly told a Citizen man
who was present at the hearing.
"Tho Long And Short Of It."
Principal Harry A. Oday brought
the little fellow to the 'Squire's of
fice about half-past four o'clock Mon
day afternoon. As they walked
through Central Park, and on up the
path to the court house, they present
ed a striking contrast. Prof. Oday
is almost seven feet tall, and well,
Master Joseph is rather a small boy
for his age. It was "the long and
short of it!"
When questioned by the 'Squire as
to his age, Joseph admitted that he
was fourteen, and that he would be
fifteen in August.
Prof. Oday said, "I looked up his
record. Ho has been to school this
year 48 days; that is all he has been
there out of 153 days."
Joseph tried to condone his ab
sence by saying: "I only started in
about three months ago to come
back." He also said that he was
looking for a job.
The 'Squire wanted to know how
many times he had gone to work, to
which he promptly replied that ho
had gone to work three times. Two
of the places at which he was em
ployed were the Honesdale Footwear
Company and Durland and Weston
Shoe company,
"Hasn't your father had any
trouble with you?" asked tho
'Squire.
"Extra Paper! AH About Tho Fire"
"No, sir," Insisted Joseph, "only
once In a while. Some times I don't
do what he wants me to do. Some
times I don't get home until after C
o'clock on account of my papers.
Then he says I'm running around
and gives me a scolding for It."
Joseph further related that he had
his "Journals" to deliver from one to
three o'clock, afternoons. The Wed
nesday of tho week previous, he went
fishing, he confessed.
Unlucky Tliirtccn.
"Thirteen" Is an unlucky number
for Joseph. Prof. Oday in comment
ing upon his repeated absences from
Bchool, stated that in the seventh
month he attended thirteen days, in
the sixth tho same number, and thir
teen and one-half in the fifth. "If
ho can so thirteen," remarked Mr.
Oday, "why can't he go twenty
days?"
honor thy father and thy moth
er, but do so in great obscurity,
that they may not interfere with
thy daughter's social standing or
spoil your son's matrimonial al
liance, that thy prey may be long
upon the land which the Lord,
through reasonable monopoly, glv
eth thee.
Sixth Commandment Thou shalt
not. kill more than a reasonable
number of thy competitors, not
more than will give you a com
plete monopoly of the business.
Seventh Commandment Thou shalt
not commit ndultery to an unrea
sonable degree.
Eighth commandment Thou shalt
not steal an unreasonable amount
and thou shalt not be prosecuted
therefor after you are found guil
ty, if it shall in any way disturb
big business.
Ninth Commandment Thou shalt
not unreasonably bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor unless
any witness against thyself, what
soever, if it tend to incriminate
thee.
Tenth Commandment Thou shalt
not unreasonably covet thy neigh
bor's house, nor thy neighbor's
wife, nor his man servant, nor his
maid servant, nor his ox, nor his
ass, nor anything that Is thy
neighbor's. If you can organize
a pipe line of a New Jersey cor
poration that will choke thy
neighbor from marketing his
goods or buying the finished pro
ducts, this will not be covetous.
F. S. MONNETT.
Prof. Oday said that "ho gave the
boy a certificate and wanted him to
go to work. He had three jobs in
three weeks. The law says he shall
be at work or at school."
Joseph tried to explain that he
had worked in the box factory for a
month steady, and that he worked
in the shoe shop two weeks. He
sprained his wrist, so he said, and
didn't report one morning, and ho
was told they didn't want him, when
he came again.
Prof. Oday testified that he told
the boy the last time he went after
him that the next time he stayed out
he would have him arrested.
The 'Squire lectured the boy for
neglecting his school duties and sug
gested that it might, be necessary to
send him to tho House of Correction.
"There's no danger of my running
away," chirped Joseph. "I'd get
caught anyway. I read In the papers
how young Hartman got caught, and
got worse than I did if I stayed
home,"
After listening patiently to the
boy's story, the 'Squire said:
"Take him over to tho Sheriff, and
tell him to care for him until to-morrow!"
This was done, but later in the
evening his father came over and
secured his release.
Doesn't Believe In Heresy
Trials
DR. W. H. SWIFT EXPHESSES
OPIXIOX OX ATLANTIC CITY
ASSEMBLY CASE.
"I don't believe in heresy trials,"
said the Rev. W. H. Swift, D. D.,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, Honesdale, when seen Wed
nesday morning by a Citizen man,
and asked to express an opinion on
the heresy trial now in progress at
the meeting of the General Assem
bly in session at Atlantic City, aris
ing out of charges of disbelief in
certain Biblical passages, made
against Rev. William D. Grant of tho
Northumberland Presbytery.
"A man who is not in sympathy,"
continued Doctor Swift, "with the
teachings of the church, should
withdraw from it. Dut 1 do bolievo
In a large liberty. I don't believe in
heresy trials."
Doctor Swift is an alumnus of
Union Theological Seminary, New
York City, which has been under
fire for years, on account of the
Hberalness of its teachings.
"I was at Union Seminary," re
marked Doctor Swift, "before the
days of Brlggs. There wore grand
good men there then as now. It
was on Eighth street then. We had
to do our own carrying of coal
from the sub-cellar up to the eighth
floor. Now everything Is up-to-date."
"I don't believe in heresy trials,"
was Doctor Swift's last word to the
reporter.

"Threatened to Kill Me I Memorial Services Begin
1,000 Times" Says Wife j Sunday, End Tuesday
MUST GIVE BOND TO KEEP THE j HONESDALE LEADS IX CONTIUU
PKACE AXD LEAVE HIS WIFE I I'TIONS TO SUSTAIN GRAND
ALONE. j ARMY POST.
The matrimonial difficulties of
Mr. and Mrs. John Buckley of 129
River street, Honesdale, (Texas
township) were pretty thoroughly
aired, at a hearing hold Wednesday
auernoon at u o clock in 'Squire YV
H. Ham's office.
John Buckley, it will be remem
bered, was arrested Monday by
deputy constable Patrick J. Moran
at the instance of his wife, who
swore out a warrant chareine him
with being drunk and disorderly
ana witu making threats, and lodged
In Jail, pending a hearing Wednes
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Deputy Sheriff F. H. Crago brought
tne prisoner to the Squire s office
about 3 o'clock Wednesday after
noon where a hearing was held. Tho
'Squire informed the defendant of
the complaints which his wife had
made against him, and asked Buck
ley what he had to say about It.
Buckley had nothing much to say
about it at Urst, denying in fact that
he made any threats, unless he made
them when he was drunk. He
didn't know, ho said, whether his
wife's tongue was worse than his or
not.
Mr. Ham reminded him that this
was a good chance to unbosom him
self of any grievances he might have
against his better half.
When pressed further, Buckley
protested that he didn't do anything
wrong, except when he got drunk.
He didn't think he could furnish
bail.
Mr. Ham thought it wouldn't per
haps be any great hardship if he
took a couple of weeks' rest In jail,
as it might help him to make some
good resolutions.
Mrs. Buckley declared that all
she wanted was peace. He promised
to be good before, but he didn't
keep his pledges. In fact he broke
them each time, she averred.
"I want him," continued Mrs.
Buckley, "to stay away from me for
the remainder of my life and I want
to keep the little girl in my posses
sion." "Will I be taken care of In the
poor house if I can't work?" whim
pered .Mr. Buckley.
'Squire Ham assured him that ho
would be looked after in such an
event.
Mutual recriminations wore ex
changed between the unhappy pair
as they sat in the 'Squire's olllce.
Mr. Buckley admitted that his fail
ing was drink. She told some of
the unprintable names he called her
when under the Influence of Intoxi
cants, and asserted that he threat
ened to kill her 100 or a 1000
times. Sooner or later, she felt, in
some drunken fit, he would do It,
too.
The 'Squire suggested that Mr.
and Mrs. Buckley might retire into
the parlor, with a view of reaching
some sort of an understanding in
the matter. His offer was not ac
cepted. When 'Squire Ham intimated that
Mr. Buckley would have to give
bonds to keep the peace, the prison
er was up in arms in an instant, and
expressed his fear that he would
lose his property rights as all the
labor of his life-time, so he alleged,
was in the property.
He admitted, however, upon cross
examination by his wife, that the
property belonged to her, and had
been willed to her, but persisted in
saying that he had done all that he
was able to do on It.
Another excuse which Mr. Buck
ley offered for not putting more
money into the place, was the fact
that his wife always had the hand
ling of his money until he broke
down.
"All I want Is peace and quiet
ness," continued Mrs. Buckley, who
said she had tried to make a good
man of him.
There were further interesting
revelations of family history, the
upshot of it all being that Mr. Buck
ley was given until Friday after
noon, at tho same time, by 'Squire
Ham, to secure a bondsman who
would guarantee that he would
agree to keep the peace and leave
his wife alone,
Mr. Buckley has been in similar
trouble before. Once he took the
pledge from Father Hanley, but his
strong desire for drink led him to
break It.
All are agreed, that he Is a good
man when ho Is sober.
ADAM FELK'S LEG CRUSHED.
Adam Felk, a driver in the em
ploy of David Fisher, the South
Main street iron dealer, Tuesday af
ternoon while unloading metal from

moned and he was made as com
fortable as possible, The unfor

KICK EDITOR AWARDS ti PRIZES THIS WEEK MAY GIVE SEVEN
OR TEN NEXT. IT ALL DEPENDS. JUST KICK.
When wo referred last issue in this column to the fact that Luther Bur
bank was lashed to the mast by the lucky winners of our Kick Contest, wo
didn't mean to hurt his feelings. Of course Mr. Burbank has a lot of class
attached to him when it comes to making two plants grow where only one
grew before, but even he has not yet succeeded in planting a kick and rais
ing a dollar. You can accomplish this amazing result if you only try hard
enough. Others have done It, so can you.
It begins to appear as if geniuses are as scarce in Wayne county as chil
dren are among the "400." Don't hide your incandescent under a bushel.
Let it flicker!
The Citizen takes pleasure In awarding the prizes this week as follows:
(1) "Hope," Box 547, Honesdale, see below; (2) Mrs. Fannlo Simons,
Paupac, last issue. Beginning with this issue the editor of the Kontest re
serves the right to decrease or Increase tho number of prizes each week
according to his best Judgment. Some of the kicks are as follows:

GEORGE STEGNEIt CALLS ON
'SQUIRE HAM TO OBTAIN EM
PLOYMENT CERTIFICATE.
"I don't know why my father
chases me out. He doesn't like me.
He never did like me," said Master
George Stegner to a Citizen man in
Justice of the Peace W. H. Ham's
office, Wednesday afternoon, where
the boy had gone to obtain an em
ployment affidavit.
Master Stegner seemed like quito
a young lad to be looking for a job.
His parents live on Brook' Road,
right over the hill by John Conear's
place In Berlin township, two miles
out of Honesdale, where his father
tills a fifty-acre farm.
Georgo Stegner, Jr., for his fath
er's name Is George too, Is only
fourteen years of age, and will be
fifteen the thirtieth of next July.
School was out the nineteenth of
April, and since then his lines have
been cast in hard places.
According to his story, he was
driven out from his home tho first
of last week, and has been staying
down at Jacob Hafner's since.
Ho was lpoklng for a job, and In
order to get it, ho needed an em
ployment certificate,, which 'Squire
Ham gave him, saying, "Sometime
when you feel pretty rich, you can
give me a quarter." Mrs. Ham gave
him a good piece of parting advice,
which in view of the temptations a
homeless boy must face, was worth
more than all the employment affi
davits In the country. It was this:
"Now be a good boy!"
"I am going to -work now for John
Decker on the ice," ho told the Citi
zen man, whilst standing cap on
head, left hand in his coat pocket, In
the doorway, waiting for tho coveted
parchment to be filled out.
He stood there all through the in
terview, and a more forlorn look
ing object it would be hard to find.
His shoes were worn out. A dark
working shirt, unbottoned at the
top, a ragged coat and pair of
trousers constituted his wardrobe.
"I never played hookey," he said
when plied with further questions,
"Uni Don't You Dare to Stop."
Dear Editor:
1 kick to stop kicking. Kause
why? No use.
MRS. FRANK LITTELL,
Sherman, Pa.
Answer: No use, eh? Ask some of
the lucky winners about it. They'll
tell you It's better to kick than In
herit a fortune.
Editors Stand Most Anything.
I kicked tho editor when there was
no kicking kontest,
And when I kicked I found the edi
tor could stand the test,
And now I kick for the dollar to
win,
So when my subscription runs out
I can again begin.

like that detain you.

away, that even if Scranton did cave

WILLIAM GILLETT,

Answer: Practice makes perfect
but father makes blisters.
"nor did anything wrong. Mr.
Decker Is going to give me $1 a day
and board.
"I was out with him all last sum
mer." According to the boy's story, his
father gets drunk pretty nearly
every other day; gets so drunk ho
can't work.
"George Is a good boy," said
'Squire Ham. "He's all right.
"Have you got a middle name?"
asked tho 'Squire.
Tho boy said he hadn't.
When the reporter asked him
whether he hadn't any uncles or
aunts or grandparents to take an
Interest in him, he regretfully an
swered in the negative.
After the 'Squire had filled out
the blanks, George put his name at
the bottom of it, and departed happy.
His father, it is alleged, not only
drove him away from home, but
also tried to prevent him from
working after he had left home.
His mother, according to his own
story, didn't treat him any better.
How To Live 100 Years
RULES ARE FOR WOMEN ONLY.
LEAVE NOTHING TO LIVE
FOR.
Here are the rules by which Mrs.
Mary M. Scrlggens, of Brockton,
seventh birthday last week says she
expects to live to be one hundred.
Lots of regular hard work fif
teen hours a day is not too much.
Abstain from Idle gossiping about
your neighbors.
Never flirt, for it is a useless waste
of energy.
Most emphatically do not read
novels, for it destroys the disposi
tion. Women get wrinkles worry
ing over the troubles of the heroes.
If you have vanity of dress de
stroy it. Tho young women of to
day who are binding up their limbs
with hobble skirts, are shortening
their lives.
Keep away from dances and mov
ing pictures.
