Somo people know, or have heard,
at least,
That "A contented mind Is a contin
ual feast."
While others live In a constant
hunch,
And Instead of "feasting" they take
a "lunch."
But, if you feast too much, asleep
you'll fall,
While weeds and grain, both rank
and tall,
Will greet your eyes when at last
you wake,
Once more your place In affairs to
take.
It Is better to ride on the flowing
stream
Than on stagnant waters to float and
dream.
M
IANY years ago, when the
Hawley Times was an in
fant and was just going
through tho dental experi
ence of " cutting its wis
dom teeth," the writer remembers
hearing the late Iteuben T. Ames re
mark to a crowd of country-saVers
who had gathered at the corner store
to regulate national and town af
fairs, to do some grocery buying and
wear it himsolf, the mantle of con
tontment would fall on him, and his
longing heart would And its un
namable desire gratified.
So our anxious friend, tho Irish
king went out on his quest. For a
long, long time he searched, and in
vain. He went from continent to
continent, from kingdom to king
dom, and found many men who
claimed they were perfectly satis
fled; but when pressed on all points
it was discovered that they invari
ably had overlooked somo essential
place whore they wanted something.

idan attended the ordination of
John Walsh, of -Jessup, to the Ro

ton, on Friday last. Father Walsh
goes to the Trenton diocese, but has
not received appointment to any par

summers in Hawley, where he be-

Present Status of tho
Affairs of tho O. It. T.
When in Hawley on Tuesday the

tho tent came sounds of Joy in tho

the glow of the freshly trimmed
kerosene store lamps, "I tell you
what it is, boys," remarked Mr.
Ames, "when a man once gets a
taste of Lackawaxen river water you
never can effectually wean him from
hankering after It."
The subject was tho recent return
of a Hawleyite who had been en
ticed to the " wild and woolly west,"
or to some other Utopian section of
country.
Whether Mr. Ames was absolutely
correct In his statement may be a
proper subject of conjecture; but
tho fact remains that Hawley people,
as a class, are about as well content
ed as they well can be In this land
of strikes, lato frosts and ridiculous
game laws. There Is a charm hover
ing over the town that reaches back
into tho past and conjures up sweet
memories of other days. The town
stands knocking at the portals of
Progress; but tho memories of the
past will not down, for those days
when
"Sweet was the sound, when oft, at
evening's close,
Up yonder hill the village murmur
rose.
There, as I passed, with careless
steps and slow,
Tho mingled notes came soften'd
from below,"
bob up from the bottom of memory's
well, Hko a cork on a fish lino bobs
up after the big sunflsh has tugged
it under and then glided off with the
halt in his mouth, winking one eye
at you and the other at the sun.
There is generally one of two
things that brings a fellow back:
One is "the girl," and the other is
contentment. If "tho girl" doesn't
fetch him, then the thought of con
tenment will so, take it either
way, back ho comes like the lost cat.
Never mind "the girl." She will
take care of herself. Lot's look over
that contented man idea 'for a mo
ment. Now, the writer doesn't get
all of his fund of story and history
from tho gonial banker and mer
chant, T. F. Mangan; but this one
'came from him, and it reached him
through his father, from tho same
source that tho weather story wo
published in last week's Hawley de
partment came.
"Once upon a time," as the charm
ing old stories start out, there was
a man In let's call it Ireland who
had everything that tho human heart
could wish, and yet that man was not
happy. Ho longed for somothing,
ho knew not what, and believed that,
like tho kid in the bath tub reaching
after Plum's soap, he would never
bo happy till he got it. So this great
man, probably an Irish king, called
in all his wise men that they might
tell him what great and only thing
ho was missing. Only one, how
ever, was " on to the job " with both
feet and a proper supply of Celtic
wit, and ho told our friend, tho
king, that If ho would find a man
who was absolutely contented, buy
tho shirt ho wore and put it on and
I don t suppose it will do me
any good," said our friend with tho
One Want, "but I'm going to look
into this matter, Just out of princi
ple, you know." And so, with a
"Y'heavo ho! my lad3, the wind
blows free,
A pleasant gale is on the lee,"
a boat -as lowered anc tney went
ashore.
The man in the tent was the pic
ture of contentment. " There isn't
a thing In all this wide world I
want," said he as he smiled, sang a
snatch of a song, leaped into the air
and cracked his heels together
thrice ere alighting on tho ground.
When the man with tho Big One
Want was sure that ho had found
his man at last he made him a
fabulous offer for the shirt ho was
wearing, saying he wanted to put it
right on and be happy forever after
thus making his toilet. The happy
man listened to the offer In astonish
ment, then, taking, his kingship into
the dressing room of the tent, ho
threw off his outer garment, and lo!
he had no shirt on at all. Ho wore
a false front. Now, make your own
comparisons and draw your own de
ductions. All the writer cares to say
Is, that to be TOO contented is bad,
VERY BAD. Absolute contentment
would lead us back to the tallow
candle and tho ox team. After all,
the writer doesn't believe very many
of that class ever "came back" to
Hawley, either ' to sip Lackawaxen
river water, or to "vote for General
Jackson."
t t
Hnwley's Streets Are
Being Salted Down.
Last year tho dust was kept well
laid in Hawley streets by means of a
liberal coating of oil. This year
something new is being tried. Tho
samo sort of salt that was used near
the club house at Forest Lake Is be
ing tried out in this town. After
the streets have been salted down,
water that is sprinkled on them
does not quickly evaporate. If the
salt scheme proves to be all right,
then good by, crudo petroleum, good
by!
t t
Scranton City Mnn Well
Pleased With Hawley Town.
When John B. Llttlojohn told his
Scranton acquaintances early last
winter that he was going to Wayne
county to live in the town of Haw
ley, they smiled, looked wise, and
shook their heads. "Oh, Doc, you'll
bo right back to help us do the
watch act as Scranton grows," they
said. But they didn't know Llttlo
john. He began to breathe Wayno
county air, got a good swig of our
pure highland water,, and now says
he's going to let the other 'fellows
"watch Scranton grow," for he has
come to stay. He has chargo of C,
II. Freethy's drug store.

ley, and lives on a farm near Mr.
Nell's slaughter house. As he was
returning to his home from 'Hawley
a horse stumbled and fell on him,
causing injuries of so serious a
nature that it was not expected that
ho would recover.
t
Base Ball at Hawley
On Saturday Last. .
An exciting game of base ball was
played at Hawley on Saturday last
between employees of Wood's sweat
er factory and employees of the Dex
ter, Lambert & Co. silk mill. The
result of tho game was a score of 5
to 4 In favor of the silk mill boys.
Brown, who pitched for the home
team last year, pitched for the silk
mill team, while Glfford pitched for
the Woods. Tho feature of the game
was a homo run by Otto Smldth, with
the bases filled.

Col. h. A. Watrcs Looks
At tho Big Dam Waters.
On Friday last Col. L. A. Watres,
of Scranton, was In Hawley looking
after the affairs of the big reser
voir. Tho Colonel says that very
soon a large force of men will be
set to work. It is understood that
at present there is a tangled condi
tion of affairs regarding power
rights.

The principal thing is to start ; then keep adding to your account by regu

momentum the rest is easy.
Begin right now; $1.00 will do it and will be as welcome as a larger

Knights of Columbus to
Run n Big Excursion.
'The Scranton Couucil Knights of
Columbus are planning to run an
excursion to Port Jervis on Memorial
Day. Councils from Hawley, Hones
dale and Carbondale will join the
excursion train when it passes
through Hawley at about 10 o'clock.
Tho excursion train will start from
Port Jervis for home at about midnight.
Xot Exactly Satisfied With
Miss Leo's Dismissal.
The Citizen representative Is not
a "butter in" so far as Hawley af
fairs are concerned; but he cannot
help hearing things as he wanders
about, the town. One of the things
he heard on Tuesday was that there
are quite a large number of Hawley
people who are not exactly satisfied
with the dismissal of Miss Ida Lee
from the corps of High-school teach
ers. They point out the fact that as
it was her first term she should have
had a re-appointment. If there was
anything in her first term that did
not satisfy tho directors, it is claim
ed that she should have been given
opportunity to correct her own work.
This is written in no spirit of criti
cism, but ns reflecting the sentiment
of at least a portion of H'awl'ey peo
ple. t t
