" Baby Mine," Margaret Mayo's
enormously funny comedy which
comes to the Lyric on Monday, March
24th, enjoys a record of one solid
year at Daly's Theatre, New York.
Baby Mine" is said to be witnout
any suggestive dialogue or scones,
depending entirely upon sparkling
wit and humor or mirth provoking
elements. It is a play to make the
cares of the day steal silently away.
If you are a tired business man go

wife with you; it will do her a world
of good, you both will feel five years
younger by tho end of the evening.

A sneclal from Susquehanna
says: Quietly and to the surprise of
the town, Edgar 13. Curtis, a lawyer,
disappeared Friday, leaving a lot of
creditors behind, and some men, it is
asserted, whose names ho used on
notes floated to raise money. Curtis
was looked upon as a good citizen
Ho was forty years old and has a
wife and little girl two years old.
They left for Carlisle where Mrs.
Curtis' father lives. ' It is said that
the father and a sister have lost In
tho neighborhood of $7,000 through
tho lawyer's bohavlor. Tho rumor
placos tho total gone through close
to $20,000. Some of the men whose
names appeared on the notes are
said not to have known it until one
of the banks started to Investigate
a note givon two years ago which
was renewed every three months.
When one of tho endorsers was ask
ed about it, he denied that he signed
it. This was a few days ago and it
is thought that Curtis, seeing no way
out, decided to leavo. It is under
stood that every dollar Curtis could
get towards the finish went into the
stock market with a view to recoup
ing previous losses and with the hope
of by one great plunge to wipe off
the slato.

A pretzel factory Is the latest
Industry for Wllkes-Barro and it is
expected to bo in full operation in
two months. The building will be a
two-story brick structure, contain
lng all the latest machinery for the
making or pretzels, two largo ovens,
packing, shipping, boiling, drying
and salting rooms. The manufacture
of pretzels Is an Interesting process
The flour is mixed as if to make
bread, raised, then twisted into the
shape of a pretzel, boiled, salted and
baked. But few people know that
tho pretzel Is boiled in one of its
processes and that there Is no ma
chlnery for twisting it into its com'
plicated form, this all being done by
hand.
Every person of good moral
character Is assured by the Constitu
tion of Indiana, adopted in 1851, tho
privilege of practicing law In any
Court of the State. Nor is this priv
ilege confined to those who wish to
prosecute or defend their own
causes a right which is common in
many States besides Indiana. The
Circuit Court recently ruled out a
"constltutiqnal" lawyer, who con
fessed that all ho knew of the mys
teries of jurisprudence was what ho
picked up in his job printing office
or gathered from thp nowspapors.
Tho Supreme Court, however, sus
tained him in his constitutional right
to have for clients other fools as
well as himself. Thus has "special
privilege" been put down and popu
lar liberty sustained in Hooslerdom.
But there nro schools of jurisprud
ence inferior in merit to job print
ories, and tho law writ in tho books
Is often more monstrous lTian that
which proclaims itself through tho
public press.
A special from Hackensack, N.
J., says: "Saved by a postage stamp"
is the title which postal clerks here
glvo to a comic scene on Main street
last week in which John Keenan, a
special delivery mail carrier was
principal Keenan loves dogs. Ho
spied one In the postoffice that was
wandering around without a license.
Keenan took a fancy to it and as ho
started out on his rounds he allow
ed the dog to trail behind him. At a
street corner Joseph Dalia, tho of
ficial dog catcher of Hackensack,
made his appearance. Dalia has a
record of G62 dogs caught in tho last
year and he was about to pounce up
on the little unlicensed fox terrier
which was following the mall car
rier. "Don't touch that dog," ex
claimed Keenan as he hastily drew
a parcel post stamp from his pocket,
licked it and attached it to the dog's
ear. "That dog is mall matter ana
under the protection of Undo Sam."
The dog catcher was properly awed,
by the federal authority and with-
drew.

In one of our neighboring
Bchools the teacher was Instructing
a class in composition and said: "You
should not attempt any flight of fan
cy; simply be yourselves and write
what Is in you. Do not imitate any
other person writing or drawing in
formation from outside sources." As
a result of this advice ono bright lad
turned in tho following: "We should
not attempt any flights of fancy but
write what Is In us. In mo there is
my lungs, stomach, heart, liver, two
apples, one piece of pie, one stick of
lemon candy and my dinner."
'From expressions made in Car
bondale Sunday it would seem that
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state commis
sioner of health, will have a 'light on
his hands if he attempts to place
Carbondalo under quarantine, as he
threatened last weok. It Is learned
from what is considered excellent
authority that if tho state health
commissioner attempts to place an
embargo on the town the matter will
be taken to court to decide his pow
er In the matter, in view of existing
conditions. William Davidson;
chairman of select council, and rec
ognized as tho leader in that branch
In the fight relative to the hoard of
health, in art interview recently,
said: " There is absolutely nothing
to back the doctor up In this matter,
We have a board of health, Mayor
Murrin and Dr. Dixon to the con
trary notwithstanding.
-Kaidy Bros., manufacturers and
jobbers of fancy knit goods, have
leased the building on Church street
owned by Richard Reichert and used
by him the past ten months as a
garage, and will start a knitting
factory therein. Men are now at
work erecting the machinery and It
is expected tho plant will begin oper
ations about March 15th. Tholr prin
cipal product will be fancy knit
scarfs and shawls, for the manufac
ture of which they have six machines.
They will employ about twelve people
at the start. Mr. Kollmer, who was
formerly employed by the Bower
Knitting Co., of this place, will man
age tho new industry. He now has
charge of installing the machinery.
Kaidy Bros, do an extensive business
in the southern states, Mexico, Cuba
and Porto Rico, and the now industry
will doubtless be of great benefit to
this community. Hawley Times.
A special from Stroudsburg
says: A $40,000 opera house is to bo
erected on a site purchased from tho
Wyckoff and Houston estate. The
theatre will bo financed by the
Stroudsburg Opera House company.
Architect Weaver is drawing tho
plans. The theatre will bo commodi
ous, with club quarters on the second
floor. It Is altogether possible that
these and a room on the third floor,
will be even more agreeably planned
than tho original plans for this sec
tion of the building. Somo idea of
the size of the lot may be had from
the fact that it is 90 feet wide and
125 feet In depth. So sanguine are
the members of the company that
there will be no hitches, whatsoever,
in the progress of excavation, build
ing, etc. and thoy have every reason
not to believe anything but rapid pro
gress will result onco the first shovel
ful of dirt is excavated that they
count on the completion of the opera
houso in timo for its formal opening
October 1.

SOME SAYINGS OF WILLIAM
C. REDFIELD, THE NEW
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
Extracts from Mr. Redfleld's "The
New Industrial Day."
Never give up self study.
There will always be something
to learn about your ways.
Don't let your initiative be
come sterilized by a tariff or
anything else. (This may be, as
ii friend says it is, "grossly in
ferential," but It is true never
theless.) It is not wise to destroy the In
itiative of your working force
by looking so hard at a quarter
yourself that you can't see the
five dollar bill beyond.
A justly discontented force can
cost you more directly and Indi
rectly than tho most expert and
costly supervision can ever find
out.
The cheapest and most effi
cient discipline is that which
well paid, hopeful and zealous
work naturally creates.
The cutting of piece work
rates and wages is the hall
mark of inefficient management.
Obsolete machinery is tho foe
of profits, the brother of high
cost and the friend of bad meth
ods. Export trade begins at home,
In your own shop and first with
the head of it. To get it bring
your wages nnd output up, your
costs and prices down. Know
what is doing In your own plant
and you can smile at a compet
ing world.
When you have good stuff to
sell, well and cheaply made,
properly designed and of regu
lor quality, well packed, you
will have no trouble to sell It
abroad. What ono country or
market won't take another will.
It's n large world.

any point and get into connection
with tho chief dispatcher's office
without going to the nearest tower
or station. ,
Tho Delaware division from Port
