NEXT WEEK open tho great cli
max of- tho year at tho Country
club, In tho widely anticipated
open tournament. This year un
usual Interest Is awakened Ijy
the event preceding the tournament,
"Vardon Day," when Harry Vat don,
tho world's champion will glvo sin ex
hibition match.
All golfers In every ciunrtcr of the
globe have been awaiting with anxiety
last, night's reports, to see If the n!o
brated player held good the champion
ship In tho national tournament at
Chicago. Tho news that ho had won,
caused much excitement In local cir
cles and gives additional Interest to
the match on Tuesday, whore ho will
play for the first time otter winning
the match from tho groat English
champion, Taylor.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for Vardon Day. Not only
Country club members but all people
Interested In field sports nnd who
would see golf played as It Is only
seen once In a lifetime by the aver
age golfer, are Invited to witness this
exhibition match. A fro of $1.00 will
be charged adults; 50 cents for chil
dren under fifteen, nnd with payment
of this a badge is presented, which
will admit the holder to both morn
ing and afternoon contests. The fee
is charged in order to defray tho
heavy expenses of bringing Mr. Var
don to" Scranton.
In tho morning match tho champion
will p'lay tho best ball of Messrs. T. H.
Watklns, A. 55. Huntington and II. C.
Shnfer. Tho game will open at- 10
o'clock. In the afternoon he will play
the' best ball of Messrs. J. H. Brooks
and P. C. Fuller. For those who are
unfamiliar with this system, it may
bo explained that Mr. Vardon plays
the best ball of either of his opponents,
this making the match two to one
against him, when two men are play
ing. It will really bo a veritable epoch
In the history of the Scranton Country
club, and doubtless there will be
throngs present to se the contest.
Eighteen holes will be played both
morning and afternoon.
It Is requested by the greens com
mittee that all who wish to see tho
game will procure badges at Florey
& Brooks' or from the steward at the
club.
The open tournament entries arc
already many and Indicate that the
events will be contested by famous
players from New York, Philadelphia,
Elmlra, Buffalo and many other places.
Tho course has been lengthened to
4400 yards and is in excellent condi
tion. Tho prizes, which may bo seen to
day In Florey & Brooks' windows, are
beautiful cups. They are for the pre
liminary match, the runner-up and tho
consolation, the first and second qualify-in
the putting and driving contests,
men's foursome and general handicap
on Saturday, when only tournament
players may contest. It is also re
quested by tho greens committee that
only those entered for tho tournament
will play over the Jinks on Monday
and Tuesday. ,
rTea will bo served every afternoon,
and. on Vardon Day a luncheon -will
be provided for all guests. i
Mrs. Thomas Sprague gave a lun
cheon on Thursday.

Today at tho Country club a mixed
handicap will be played. Tea will be
served by Mrs. C. L. Frey.Miss Howell,
Miss Louise Matthews, Misses Ger
trude Courson, Margaietta, Belln and
Ruth Archbald.
. Invitations will be received todav to
a" dance at the Counry club next Fii-
iday evening, the character of which
will depend on the moon, tho incon
stant moon, and the equally Inconstant
weather. Should it bo a fine night the
affair will take on the features of a
promenade concert, when it is hoped
the older members of tho club will
turn out en masse to enjoy the music,
as the orchestra will be stationed on
the veranda. Should the night be un
favorable, the dancing contingent only
will probably t attend, as the limited
floor space renders the position of on
lookers not particularly desirable, It
Is hoped, however, that tho weather
will be pleasant enough to make a
fotef-nIght of It, so that all the mom-
.berscan enjoy this last charming good
bye to summer.
Mrs. A. M. Decker gave a thimble
ten' on Wednesday in honor of Miss
Whiting, of Chicago. The guests were

onel nnd Mrs. H. M. Boles, beginning
October 16. Tho lectures will be dfllv
ored by Mrs. Emma Shaw Colcleuch,
the well-known traveler and lcctuicr,
and tho subjects are entirely out of tho
beaten track. Mrs. Colcleugh has been

The brilliant young impersonator,
Willard D. Howe of West Plttston
and of Yale college will, on tho eve of
Thanksgiving, Wednesday, November
-8, give, in St. Luke's parish house,
tho monologue rendition, especially
propaied for him, of "An American
Citizen," the new play that has won
so much favor in New York city. There
wll be also a delightful musical pro
gramme In the intervals. As the en
tertainment will be under the auspices
of the Guild of St. Margaret, for the
especial benefit of Its charity and mis
sion fund, this early notice of the se
lected evening Is given.
The members of the Needlework
guild connected with St. Luke's church
although not all are members of that
parish are requested by Mrs. Rogers
Israel, the president of the guild, to
send In their contributions for this
year, of two new garments each, by
Saturday next, October 13.
The danger period of the historical
novel epidemic has probably beeen
reached. Now that the crisis Is over
we shall have time to enjoy what we
read without feeling at the same time
as if we are 'being instructed. It is
such a satisfaction, once in a while, to
read for downright pleasure.
The historical fact was really alarm
ing. The novelist who couldn't turn
out at least one historical book might
as well go to farming. When even
Mary Wilkins attempted it, the situa
tion became serious. Of course, she
wasn't a success In "The Heart's
Highway," and It was too bad that
she felt the exigencies demanded her
desertion of the conscientious New
England maiden, with her quaint, old
time gowns and the darling atmo
sphere of lavender and dried rose
leaves forever about her steps, but
now that she has spent much valuable
time in looking up a rather uninterest
ing period and has made in it a dim
reflex of what only a few master hands
can depict, let us hope she will go
back to the dear little girls, the whlte
souled maidens, the severe matrons of
long ago we shall never tire of them
and leave tho historical business to
Stanley Weyman, who, after all, can
do it better than anybody else, or to
our own Dr. Mitchell, or Mary John
ston, Paul Lecelster Ford made a dis
mal failure of Janice. Do you know I
should think that girl would endeavor
to haunt him all the rest of his days
for making her out such a fool, when
he might have given her a little sense?
Tho time will come when people will
realize that Winston Churchill's "Ce
lebrity" is worth a dozen of "Richard
Carvel," and even Booth Tarklngton's
exquisitely written "Monsieur Beau
calre" will be forgotten by the side of
his successes in other lines.
After all, there are few novels In the
historic vein which will live and delight
treadeis as Charles Major's "When
Knighthood Was in Flower," or Mitch
ell's "Hugh Wynne." It is time some
of the other writers turned their tal
ents in a different direction.
Speaking of novels, one is reminded
that occasionally somebody mentions
"Senator North." Now, that book, as

Rose, Maise, Cherrv, Roval,
has previously been Intimated In those
columns, la one tnat no young girl
should allow her mother to read, to
U30 modern parlance. Of all tho In
nldlous vlloncss of thought and sug
gestion commend us to Gertrude Ath
erton In fiction, and particularly to
her "Senator North." Yet Wngllsh re
viewers cntl her America's typical
novelist nnd her greatest, Heaven
help poor America if this lady, with
her bleached hair and her unbleached
views of nodal questions Is to bo con
sidered our greatest exponent. This
particular book of hers Is enough to
undermine the morality of a saint. In
comparison, "A Lady of Quality" Is to
be recommended for heading tho list
of a Sundny school library.
Ono Is forced to wonder what par
ticular woman cr collection of women
formed Judge Grant's studies for "Sol
ma White" In "Unleavened Breud."
How the author does hato that wo
man I How wo all hato her as we see
her character unfold, leaf upon leaf.
She is ccrtulnly a horrible example of
what wo ought not to bo, whether we
nre club women or only Innocuous no
bodies who conceive the brilliant Idea
of a chain of prayers for some Quix
otic object. She Is enough to make ono
shudder at tho possibilities In our
selves, whether half educated, pro
vincial, narrow and hypocrltlc like Sel
mn, or more advanced, more cultured
and with less conceit. Wo seo her
prototype occasionally In tho woman
who scorns society because It Is false
and hollow and because people who
were therein toll lies. As If they won't
do so anywhere else In the world! Sel
ma affected to be far above society's
frivolities; to have nobler, deeper
thoughts and loftier alms. All the time
she was making frantic endeavors to
get within the charmed circle and her
scorn of society's frivolities was chief
ly tho result of envy and chagrin. Yet
she managed to deceive most of the
people all the while and apparently
her ownself part of that time. She
really ought to be studied as a specl
ment of what one ought not to be.
Judge Grant is a New Englander
and the club women who furnished
him the material for his harsh and
biting sarcasm must be terrors. Yet
no woman, honest with herself, can
read his most brilliantly written book
without seeing at least Meeting
glimpses of her own possibilities In the
painfully unflattering mirror he holds
up to view. How he can be the same
man who wrote that perfectly delight
ful "Bachelor's Christmas," Is hard to
leconclle with reason.
"David Harum" was the most skill
fully advertised book which has ap
peared In this generation. People
who tumbled over themselves to read
It and rave over it are now wondering
what they saw In it; but "David" is
likely to be responsible for a great
many imitations, more or less feeble.
"Eben Holden" Is successor, to his
claims, but Eben, although full of
touches of nature, beautiful and clear,
Is a most tiresome and unnecessarily
long drawn out story just as "The
Martyrdom of an Empress" is over-'
Jlowing with gush, school-ghly and
ante-dated In its stvle.
The Home for the Friendless has ar
ranged a rather unique feature for
Donation Day which has been fixed for
Oct. 23. It will bo an entertainment
to take place on 'the evening of that
day at the Home when Miss Ross, a
famous monologulst and reader will
furnish the programme. It Is seldom
that the inmates of the institution
have a treat of this sort. They are cut
off from the recreation and pleasures
which most other old ladles and chil
dren enjoy. Did you ever think what
it means to be old and friendless: to
have nobody in the wide world who
"loves you living, or would weep to
mourn you dead?" Did you ever think
what it would mean to be old and
have no little children to plan sur
prises for "grandma," no fireside where
you would be the welcome guest, no
eager hands to make age sweet and
comfortable and dear; no daughters to
fashion pretty caps for mother; no
tails sons to stoop at twilight above
tho giey old head and say "If it had
not been for my dear mother's influ
ence I could never have been the
successful man I am todav." to live
just a narrow dull round with only
tho same other old women for com
pany who have life stories as sad as
your own?
Did you ever think what it would
mean if your own little child, petted
and guarded nnd kept safe In your
warm home nest should suddenly be
sent out Into tho world friendless and
alone; should have no more dainty
garments made specially for its own
small self. No little anniversaries,
save those provided by the kind mat
ion of some Institution. No visits of
other children, no tenderness of blood
ties, no very own mother to tuck It
up at night?
Think sometimes about those chil
d.on to whom their home and often
their parents are scarcely as much as
a memory. Think of tho lonely old
women and come to the Home for tho
Friendless on the night of October 25
and help mako It a gala occasion:
bring n silver offering and enter Into
the spirit of the occasion on this ono
celebration of all tho year.

it HER POINT OP VIEW l
THH OTHER DAY two young so
ciety people of this city started
out for it drive. They have not
long been married, at least not long
enough to have lost n romantic taste
for beautiful scenery and ns their
route lay In tho direction of the Notch,
they had ample opportuntly for expa
tiating on the charms of tho land
scape. While leisurely surveying tho
golden tints on tho mountain side, It
occurred to them that from a little
hill not far from tho road side, a su
perb view might bo obtained and they
loft tho carriage and proceeded to
clamber up with much alacrity. Sud
denly they were startled by some very
forcltTlo remarks, which wcro being
addressed to them by a farmer, whoso
Irate language and gestures seemed
rather unaccountable. "HI there!" ho
was saying. "Git out o there or I'll
sick tho dog on ye. Now jU3t ye git
and git blame quick." The two In
truders wore nlmost paralyzed with
surprise nnd dismay. They are very
conservative young people, Indeed, and
to bo thus unceremoniously chased off
tho landscape was humiliating, to say
tho least. By tho time they had re
covered from their consternation, the
farmer had esconded the hilltop and
was breathlessly continuing his sput
tering, "Git," he ordered imperiously.
"I ain't n-golng to have any more o'
my apples stole by any blame loafers."
It was at this point that tho young
man raised a protest. "Do wo look
as If wo had como hero to steal ap
ples?" ho dom(in'do4. The farmer
gazed nt them curiously. "Well, now
come to look at ye, surc's I live, ye
don't," ho acknowledged. "But ye see,
it's just this way. The strikers have
dug our potatoes and stole all our win
ter pears, and when 1 see ye kind o'
sneaking In and out goln' tip this hill,
I just thought I'd ketch 'em sure."
"Wo came up hero to seo the view,"
explained tho wife with dignity, hut
this statement mnde the farmer gaze
at them with more curiosity than be
fore. They were rather silent on their
way home, but once the young wife
remarked reflectively, "And I had on
my now golf coat, too."
"That's probably what did it," ho
replied with masculine frankness.
Speaking of potatoes is a reminder
of a farmer who lives a few miles out
of Scranton and who has or did have a
line Held of potatoes, the field being
small, but the potatoes large. The
other day he discovered a man en
gaged In Industriously filling a capac
ious sack from the choicest rows. Ho
went out and urged the marauder to
desist, but the latter, who was a Hun
garian, apparently failed to understand
his orders or was indifferent to threats,
for he proceeded with stolid intentness
of purpose until the sack was full when
he shouldered It and trudged off.
The farmer grew madder and madder
and after a few moments of delibera
tion secured the co-operation of a
neighbor and started with a horse and
wagon after the thief. They overtook
him at some distance away from' the
scene of his depredations and were
about to make him convey the potatoes
back to their native heath, when it oc
curred to them to search their captive,
as thus they might be able to judge as
to whether he was in greut need. They
found that he had money to the
amount of $104 on his person, and lea
soning that an individual with such a
"wad" was able to buy his potatoes,
they proceeded to make him do the
same, demanding the market price of
the vegetables before allowing him to
go.
With many grunts of disapprobation
he was obliged to hand over the re
quired sum and the farmers returned in
triumph to lay plans for conducting a
homo market on a similar basis should
further attempts bo made to lift their
crop of potatoes,
Many people in, this vicinity seem to
have strong attacks of religious fervor
when their prayers and their resolu
tions which appear in tho newspapers
are exceedingly profuse. The amount
of prayeis, resolutions and nothing
else which have been bestowed on for
eign missionary sufferers by fire and
flood and other objects of popular pity
in various quarters of the globe Is truly
affecting. Every little while these
sympathetic ones hold a special meet
ing to condole with each other over cer
tain victims of one or another calamity
but they do nothing further. Tho
prayers are very eloquent and the reso
lutions look very pretty In print and
the authors of both receive tho con
gratulations of friends while tho suf
ferers continue to suffer.
Tho other day thoie was a conven
tion of some kind where they prayed
long and earnestly for the stricken
missionaries in China. Tho prayers
were certainly beautiful and brought
tears to the eys of tho heaters as well
as the composers, but they didn't tuko
up oven a penny collection for the un
fortunate missionaries in China,
Not long afterward the carpenters
had a convention when they voted elo
quent resolutions to unhappy brethren
ip Galveston who hud lost wives and
families and all their ourthly posses
sions In tho raging floods. But they
weren't moved to send anything elso
hut tho same resolutions which will
scarcely bo n great source) of consola
tion to it group of fellow workmen who
have scarcely a place to lay their heads
to say nothing of a frame for ornato
resolutions.
Tho yellow Journals publish pages
and pages of anient sympathy with tho
poor minor, but up to daKi they haven't
iiiadQ extuuslvo preparations to lend
him financial assistance when his hour
of need draws nigh. They offer plen
tiful contributions of advico about
keeping out of work as long as possible
but they aren't sending round many
barrels of flour to supply his scanty
Htoro of provisions.
1'myer Is good wo ought to pray
more and do a whole lot lehs lying and
boasting; resolutions sound real pret
ty upd look well In print; advico is
useful when you can hit on tho kind
people want; but all nro rather less
comfort at times than a fow bushels
of potatoes and a winter overcoat,

STAND TOR PRINCIPLE.
Nothing Else so Wei Becomes an
Aspiring Young Man.
Willtcn for The Tribune,
About two months ago I went into
ono of tho largest double stores on
Tiackawanna avenua and made appli
cation for a position for a young man,
who s a first-class dry goods sales
man. The proprlotor of the store con
fronted me with the question, "What
Is his moral standing and character?"
I replied that he Is upright and hon
est, spoko of his business quullllca-
tlona, of which the merchant scorned
to think well, and concluded by any
thing that ho Is n Christian and very
Htilct In his attendance upon nil of
his church duties, never falling to ba
In his mld-wook prayer meeting when
It Is possible to attend. Ho gave up
his position In another church whore
ho was receiving $.100 per year ns lead
ing tenor, to servo his own church,
which needed him and was unablo to
pay hint anything. When I spoke of
tho young man's faithfulness to his
church, I raw nn r.xprejslon como over
the merchant's faceiin expression I
had not seen before during the con
vorsatlon, and ho said, with a great
deal of emplrtsls;
"That Is Just tho lilnd of man wo
want. I wish you would send htm
word to como to seo us nt once."
Ho later said:
"Tho dny Is hero when wo cannot
afford to take chances on our clerks.
W" must know that they nro all right
before wo tuko them. A few days ngo
a drummer offered mo n cigar. I re
fused It, so ho offered It to my part
ner, who also refused.
"'Well,' said the drummer, 'I will
find some of the clerks who will tako
It,' so ho set out to make tho round
of tho counters nnd among nil the
clerks could not find ono to take the
cigar. Then said the traveling man:
" 'I'll find some ono of these young
men who will como out and have a
drink.' I offered him a ten-dollar bill
If he could And a man In our storo
to drink with him."
I mnde the remark that If tho olerk
would drink or take five cents he
would take any amount. "That Is
true," said Mr. H., "and furthermore
If tho salesman takes advantage of
our customers and willingly misrepre
sents our goods, we don't want him."
So, young man, If you nro looking
forward to a reliable position, don't
forgot that character counts.
