N Tuesday morning there
alighted from tho E. & W.
V. train four gentlemen
from Dunmore who wore
bound for Fitchburg, Mass.,
on a mission of importance. The
writer of this department talked with
them from Hoadleys until trainman
Laughanny .had said the magic
words, "the next stop is Hawley
all change for Lackawaxen, Port
Jervis, Mlddletown and New York
don't forget your packages." The
four gentlemen were John D. Purtell,
trainmaster of the Erie's Wyoming
Division, John E. Swift, of the Union
Cash Stores, Thomas McNulty and
Superintendent of schools Charles
F. Hoban, all of whom are of Dun
more and the first three of whom are
members of the Dunmore school
board. They constitute a special
committee, and were appointed to
make a study of the vocational side
of the educational question. They
are to make their report in Decem
ber. The quartette shook hands with
Hawley acquaintances while wait
ing for baggage, et cetera, to be
transferred from the E. & W. V. to
the branch train, and soon were
speeding on their way towards the
Bay State.
The vocational training system
is in use In Fitchburg, a city of about
40,000 population. It includes man
ual and domestic training courses in
tho high school's curriculum and the
products of the school may be fitted
to meet the needs of the community.
If the committee finds that the sys
tem works well in Fitchburg a favor
able recommendation will 'be made to
the Dunmore board, and, as a new.
law enacted by the legislature by
provision of which the state pays two
thirds the cost of vocational
courses, this provision makes it rath
er convenient for that district to in
troduce such a system. The mem
bers of the board claim that manual
training and domestic science are
badly needed in the schools there.
They state that arrangements can
be made with the Erie shops and oth
er industrial establishments whereby
boys may be permitted to attend
school during the morning and work
at some trade in the afternoon.
The writer was especially inter
ested in the work of this committee
becaifse it shows that our neighbor
ing towns are reaching out along
progressive lines. In this depart
ment several weeks ago suggestion
was made that the Hawley school
board Investigate the work and meth
ods of other schools. Objection was
made, of course, that such work was
expensive and unnecessary, and on
the surface It would seem that pub
lic schools are some sort of money
making enterprise, maintained for
the purpose of creating rich school
'districts.
The writer is a great believer in
vocational study. He believes such
study is necessary and that the time
Is ripe for Its Introduction in every
high school In the larger towns and
cities of the land; but he does not
propose to make any argument here
Tilong that line. As far as he cares
to go here is to hold up the progres
sive spirit of the Dunmore school
'board as a sort of object lesson and
inspiration to the school directors
and tho people of Hawley.
Do not get In a rut. Do not con
tent yourselves with the thought
that there Is nothing more to do, that
educational work In Hawley has
Teached the limit of excellence.
During the past'year much good work
vwas done; but ever bear In mind
that In school matters It Is wise to
" get the best," and that " the best
Is none too good " for the rising gen
eration. A Little Matter Tliat
Mhdo Us Feel Good.
To be button-holed and asked In a
confidential manner, "What's the
matter With the Gurney Elevator
Works?" brought joy to our jour
nalistic heart as we could respond
with a gusto that fairly made things
-jingle, "Why' they're all right!"
Tho writer hereof wants to see
everybody In Wayne county prosper
ous and happy, and when the wheels
in our factories are all going 'round
their music spells Prosperity with a
big capital letter,
i
Big dinner on Sunday,
At Baschon's will 'delight you;
Chicken? You've guessed It!
They warmly invite you.
No extra charge, you know,

Tho Weasel Mnrkct Is
Good Around Lakovillc.
On Tuesday Mr. Francis Cawley,
of Lakevllle, brought to tho office
of 'Squire Ammerman tho seal 'brown
skin of a weasel that his son had
shqt while it was trespassing, ,on the
sacred precincts of his hen house.
The 'Squire looked over tho dainty
bit of fur, fished out a big pair of
shears, cut the ears from the pelt,
and Mr. Cawley waB ready to return
to Lakevllle a richer man by wo
dollars than he was before he enter
ed the office of the genial Justice of
the Peace. That is the bounty that
Is paid for the extermination of
weasels, $2.00 each. The bounty is
none too high, and If the State paid
a small bounty also for woodchucks
the money would bo well spent.
As to weasels, everybody has
heard that, It is hard to catch ono
asleep. Joe! Herzogg, of Lakevllle,
killed two of them, but not until
they had killed 22 of his best hens.
While he'got $4.00 for the weaselsfwont deer hunting last Saturday.
he Is sure that his 22 hens were
worth considerably more than that,
Chester Smith, of Marble Hill, In
Hawley, recently got a white wea

sel. There Is no market price for
Weasel fur. The bounty In iron dol
lars and the satisfaction of killing
the pestiferous little poultry killers
is all tho recompense there is to
weasel hunting or trapping.
Trying to Scttlo a
Matter Out of Court.
There was a little lawsuit before
'Squire Ammerman ono day last
week, and the temple of justice was
filled with witnesses and contradic
tory testimony. Each, side was rep
resented by able counsel, and when
the noon whistles rang out their call
to hungry humanity court was ad
journed and the various parties went
outside to the sidewalk in front of
the 'Squire's ofTice. Instead of
quietly and speedily seeking the var
ious sources for dinner, they went
right on with the battle out there
In the open, prosecuting the war
contrary to all established martial
rules 'by fighting on empty stom
achs. .
Finally one of tho parties to the
suit and the attorney on the oppo
site side concluded that the best
way and also the speediest to settle
tho differences was to adjust mat
ters out of court; and at it they
went. There was some noise) Tho
'Squire heard the noise, ana decid
ed that a battle without, general of
ficers was not tactical. He called for
a truce until proper regulations
could be made. The combatants
were separated. The wounded wero
properly cared for, and all traces of
the carnage were removed. As to
the suit itself, the 'Squire has re
served his decision.
Clothes Thieves Aro
Operating Around Ilnwley.
And now it would seem that there
are people in the vicinity of Hawley
who need clothing, and need it so
much they don't wait to get it from
the merchants, but help themselves
from the nearest convenient source
of supply, which In a recent Instance
chanced to bo the well filled clothes
line of Mrs. Peter Bellman. If this
Item should be read by the needy
ones who are taking the neighbors
clothes line method of replenishing
their wardrobe, take a bit of advice
and "cut It out," for you are liable
to get hurt if you are not very care
ful. 'Squire Ammonium's Flock
A Sourco of Temptation.
Two recent attempts to rob the
hen roost of W. B. Ammerman,
down at the Eddy, proved unsuccess
ful because the 'Squire has the
knack of putting his official seal on
his locks. Tho lovers of other peo
ple's poultry first tried to get the
'Squire's hens on Friday night last.
They had such a longing for them
that the following night they made
another try, but the old-fashioned
wrought iron hasp was too much for
them, and they had to give up the
job as a failure. In the 'Squire's
chicken house are about 45 white
leghorn layers, and It is the Not
ary's purpose to keep them right
there on the job of laying eggs at 45
cents a dozen,
The New Coal Pockets
Soon to bo Built.
The new coal pockets are to be
built right away. Fred. White and
Frank Stevenson aro to have charge
of coal selling. They will Inaugur
ate a new system, abandoning the
long ton of 2240 pounds and selling
by the hundred weight only. The
new pockets will All a "long-felt
want," and their location will be a
big improvement over tho pockets
near the old weigh office.
M. T. Snyder and C. II. Frocthy
Aro in New York City.
On Tuesday morning Myron Sny
der and Charles Freethy took the
train for New York city. The form
er went to visit his son Rowland,
who has been employed In New York
city In a printing office. The firm
with whom he is employed have de
cided to open a branch office in Bos
ton, and Rowland -will be sent from
Gotham to the Hub. Mr. Freethy
will spend three or four days In New
York purchasing holiday goods.
Clnudo Wntrons AVeds
Miss Frances Robinson.
Last Saturday evening Claude
Watrous, Erie engineer, and Miss
Frances Robinson, formerly employ
ed as head clerk in E. L. Sch'ager's
department store, were married.
They were married in the house
they are occupying as a residence,
and began house-keeping immedi
ately after the conclusion of the
marriage ceremony. Indeed, they
had previously furnished their new
home, and were all ready to occupy
it. Tlje residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Watrous Is on River street, well
known as the old, Snyder home.
Following out an, ancient custom,
tho young friends pf tho newly wed
ded couple gathered outside tho
house and gave the occupants the
benefit of a skimmerton; but Mr.
Watrous went out into the night,
spoke a few magic words to the
leaders of the boys, and thereafter
everything was sb still that a man
over in East Hawley heard his
watch tick. .
CJiarles Thornton Get u Deer
Right Near Thhj JTown. ,
Charles Thornton, of this town,
There was no-fuss and no frills about
the hunt, either. It was just a plain,
commonplace hunt, without a long
stay and a lot of fol-de-rol, Charles
just went out to Narrows Hill, only
about a mile from Hawley and got
nis ueer an ngnt. un Monday two
or three, more were seen right In
tho Immediate vicinity.
Last fall Charley's father, (now
deceased) shot a deer only a' short
distance from the Bellmonto Silk
mill.
Dcnth of Mrs. M. McAndrcw
Of Mnrble Hill.
Mention was made here last week
of tho dangerous Illness of Mrs.
Michael McAndrew, of Marble Hill.
Pleurisy was tho disease which re
cently made a serious attack, and,
despite the care of physicians, she
died on Monday night at 7 o'clock.
Tho funeral was held on Thursday
in St. Philomena's Catholic church.
Mrs. McAndrew leaves her husband
and six children, three sons and
three daughters, to mourn her de
parture. The sons are Edward, of
Port Jervis, William of Staten Is
land, and Michael, of Now York city.
The daughters are. Miss Alion. nt

Joseph L. Curran
Given a Testimonial.
Nows comes from the Holy Cross
college, of Worcester, Mass., that
Rev. James A. Mullen, S. J., has
granted a testimonial for efficiency
in studies, to Joseph L. Curran, son
of J. J. Curran, the River street
merchant. When it comes to a mat
ter of study and rewards of merit
for same, Hawley boys always come
right to the front every time.
And Now "Tho Iteds"

On the evening of Thanksgiving.
November 26, " The Reds," captain
ed Dy iwrs. a. J. luchardson, are go

Certainly they are going to serve
supper, and they are going to serve
a good supper, too. Better drop In
and see, and eat, and be happy with
" The Reds."

Tliis Young Man Got n Bear
Away Down in "Little Pike."
I tried my level best to get the
young man's name, but failed. No
body seemed to know anything about
his name. Plenty of people knew,
however, that he came from Wllkes
Barre. When he left his city homo
he had a strong ambition to get a
bear, but he went deer hunting, not
bear hunting, having no faith that a
genuine bear right out in tho open
would ever cross his path. While on
the Milford turnpike, not far from
Notch, to his amazement he ran
across a whopping big, black bear.
There was a thrill, a hastily aimed
rifle, a ringing report, and his bear
ship had got his. The dead bear
weighed 400 pounds and It was a de
cidedly happy young man who re
turned to his Wllkes-Barre home.
Too bad! Too bad I couldn't get his
name.
Tho Last Apprentice
Completes His Apprentlceslilp.
On Thursday, November 13, Peter
C. Rose, the last apprentice of Haw
ley Branch No. 29 of tho G. B. B. A.,
completed his apprenticeship, and on
Saturday night he celebrated the
event by giving a banquet at Hotel
Reafler, whose proprietor, Mr. J. A.
Baschon, was at one time a glass
blower himself. The dining room
was artistically decorated for the
occasion by Miss Helen Baschon.
One of the decorations was a
streamer stretched across tho room,
the color scheme being in red and
green, and bearing the magic let
ters, "Branch 29 G. B. B. A." The
tables were decorated with sweot
carnations -and ferns. The initiation
took place In Odd Fellows hall. Sup
per was served at 11 o'clock, the
following guests partaking of tho
delicious repast that was prepared
by Mrs. Baschon:

Of course there was music, which
was furnished by Miss Helen Bas
chon and Peter C. Bellman, but
whether the music came before the
feast, during the feast, or at its con
clusion, we "clean done forgot" to
find out; so we will state for a fact
there was music, and let it go at
that. J
The menu was as follows:
Clam Chowder
Celery India Relish
Spced Meat Roast Pork
Cranberry Jelly
Potato Croquettes French Peas
Boston Baked Beans
. Royal Salad
Fruit Jello Wheat & Rye Bread
Coffee , Tea
Strawberry Ice Cream
Chocolate Cake
Nablscoa Fruit
The feature of the "feast of rea
son" was an address delivered by tho
National Secretary, William Launor.
As Rose was the last apprentice
of the Branch, of course there will
be no more banquets along this line,
and the Iboys might very appropri
ately have closed the banquet by
singing in concert,
"Should auld acquaintance be forgot?"
A Little Bunch or
Hawley Nows and, Personals.
Bi F, Klllam, the wide-awake
'Squire of the historic Paupack, was
a Hawley caller otf Tuesday.

Among other local sportsmen who
shot deer down In tho great Pike
county hunt were William Alt and
Louis Geisler.
Hawley school directors made
some Investigation of High school
methods in Honesdale on Directors'
Day teachers' institute week.
The handsome store room occu
pied for a long time by C. H. Free

by the electrical supply house of
Hawley.
Lewis Kelly, a D. & H. brakeman
from Oneonta, N. Y., returned to his
.duties in that place last Saturday,
after spending a week with his
grandmother, Mrs. Mary Broderick,
oh Marble Hill. '
W. C. Moulton, Jr., of the Hawley
Coal Company, on Friday last went
rabbit hunting and got nine. Fri
day may be an unlucky day for rab
bits, but W. C. found that there is
truth in the saying, "there's luck In
odd numbers."

laconic statement, "No luck!"
WAYMART WOMAN
SHOOTS RABBITS.
Even Though Her Husband Did Not
Get a Deer or n Bear While Hunt
ing in Piko county, Sho Got Bun
nies. Some time ago It was reported
in a Scranton newspaper that a
Lackawanna county woman was the
only woman hunter in the North
eastern tier .of counties. We
thought so at that time but since
then proof has been obtained that
shatters the truth of the newspa
per story. Wayne county has a
woman hunter, perhaps more, but at
least one real hunter who brings
back not only the gun but rabbits
and birds.
That woman is Mrs. J. B. Dymond
of Waymart, and a better shot will
be hard to find in that vicinity.
Last week Mr. and Mrs. Dymond,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. L. A.
Dymond, of Wilkes-Barre; Mr. and
Mrs. James Davis of Wllkes-Barre,
and Mrs. Edward Husband of Ed
wardsville, went to Greeley Lake,
Pike county, and made their head
quarters at Greeley Lake Inn.
They spent the week in hunting in
the woods and while the men were
tracking deer the women went af
ter the smaller game and were suc
cessful In bagging ten bunnies and
other small game. The men did not
get any deer 'but had the pleasure
of seeing a deer anil a 400-pound
bear brought in to the hotel while
they were there. The successful
hunter was a fellow guest at the
Inn. Mr. Dymond. said that resi
dents there estimated that at least
two hundred hunters were in the
woods last week, but that he did
not hear more than two or three
shots during the week's hunting
trip through the dense woods. The
party returned home Saturday.
Diphtheria Epidemic Tlireatens.
The borough of Waymart is threat
ened with an epidemic of diphtheria
and tho schools have 'been closed for
the week. There were no church'
services In any of the churches on
Sunday while a thorough fumigation
of all public places Is being, institut
ed. Anti-toxin is being used in. all the
cases.
As a result, of the disease, which
has griped tho borough, ono nhlld,
Lucretia Davis," tho seven-year-old'
daughter of Calvin Davis, is dead.
The burial took place last Friday,
two others In the borough are ill
and two just outside in Clinton
township are down with the dis
ease. Mildred Stephenson, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Stephen
son, is seriously ill with what is
called black diphtheria, and she Is
being attended by Dr. McCafferty.
Fred Davis, aged 14, a brother of
Lucretia Davis, Is ill and is being
attended by Dr. Bangs of South Ca
naan. It Is reported that one or
two others who were exposed are
being watched carefully by tho phy
sicians. Two children of Grant
White In Clinton are also reported
as having tho disease. Dr. L. B.
Nellsen, county medical inspector of
Honesdale, went out on Monday and
instituted a strict quarantine.
R. S. Bates, head of the borough
health board, has had all places
quarantined and is doing all he can
to prevent the spread of the dis
ease. It is thought that the diph
theria came originally from South
Canaan. A young boy came from
there to attend school and was tak
en sick whllo in tho Waymart
school. That was about a month
ago and he has recovered. It Is
thought that many of the school
children were exposed at that time.
Wayninrt's Big Business Boom.
The slump in business that Is be
ing felt In many parts of tho country
Is not bothering people and mer
chants of Waymart. One merchant
remarked to a representative of
The Citizen this week that business
had never been better than at tho
present time. Tho Waymart Knit
ting Mill is running full time with
orders to last several months and
the glass factory is also working to
capacity. The' borough Is just now
experiencing a building boom, there
being at least a half dozen new
houses under construction and al
most completed and several more
just getting under way. A new
house Is being erected by H. B.
Stanton above the .cutting shop and
the foundation has been laid for a
