vote, which gives each member of the
party a direct voice In the nomination,
are apparently afraid of the people.
There could not have been anything
much more corrupt than the conven
tions formerly held hi Luzerne, where
It was pretty generally impossible for a
man to get a nomination on merit, but
not difiicult at all for him to buy his way
through If he had money enough and
knew how to use it.
Men sought election as delegates to
these conventions for the purpose of
selling their votes, and organizations
were maintained to blackmail those who
sought nomination. To restore that sys
tem would be a change back to darkness.
Bride Leaves Husband.
Rendered almost insane with home
sickness, despite the attention of her
husband of only a few months, Mrs.
Annie Kosbar, of Honey Brook, left on
Saturday for New York, whence she
will sail for Hungary. The woman
came to this Country only six months
ago. She longed incessantly for her
home, and her condition bordered on
insanity.
Her forlorn position appealed to the
tender heart of Michael Koshar and he
married her off-hand two mouths ago.
The novelty of wedded life, however,
did not destroy the young woman's
home-sickness. Her husband will de
vote himself to accumulating a com
petence and when this is accomplished
he will go to his bride.

The Rube band with "The Vermont
Girl," which parades the streets hero to
morrow as the "Perkinsvlllo Squash Hol

and most original ever seen. The band
plays an important part in the election

wish to laugh, and laugh loud and long

Before Magistrate O'Donnell at Ply
mouth, Mrs. Andrew Polln had Joseph
Wirres, Michael Lerchoke and Stanley
Ludect arrested for trospasslng on her
property. They had been calling on

times during the week. These visitors,
she claimed, were not content with
sitting in the kitchen, but would walk
into the parlor and make themselves at
home.
Mrs. Pol in said if it only happened
once a week she would not care, but
coming almost every evening it soon
became tiresome and she thought the
best plan was to arrest them for tres
pass. The squire did not think the
evidence strong enough and discharged
them.

Talk.
Do you blame a man for being
hard to please about his clothes?
We don't. The fact is we are
hard to please ourselves—first about
clothes, then about manufacture;
in fact, everything else pertaining
to the clothes we sell. But there
is the success of our ever increas
ing bnsiness.
The worry is done in advance of
you. The "hard-to-ploase" man
becomes easy—tells his friends
about us. Hence our success
since we first opened our doors in
Freeland five years ago.
