Scouten's Herald bids us liear in mind the"The Divine mandate which teaches that a liar is not to be believed when lie tells the truth." As we have published no lies, and have never been impeach ed. we can read this 4 'Divine man date" with equanimity. How is it with you, neighbor Scouten? The Sullivan County Agricul turial Society will bold their annu al exhibition at Forksville ou Wed nesday. Thursday and Friday Oct. 1,2, tSi .'{, 1902.

In defending Judge Mitchell from the aspersions of Scouten, we said that the Judge had at Scout en's request, granted him a new | trial, and tried his case fairly and i honestly. Answering this, Scout en called it "trash" and said it was "absolutely false." In his last paper he says that he had never said in I any publication, that Judge Mitch- I ell was dishonest. This is pretty twisty; but it is a hopeful approach toward decency for him to .admit the Judge's honesty. I'ninten | tional errors are committed occa sionally by all judges, which are no evidence of their unfairness or dishonesty. Mr. E P. Ingham's Romance. Mr. Ingham's book, an historical romantic novel called "At the Point of the Sword," is having a large sale in this section. Of the l«>ok the critics have some kind word to say conies the report from city news papers. We tintl it well written and having in general a pleasant feature about the narrative. This tale pur- to be a translation from the Dutch memoirs of Ernest Seur D'Artveldt, who lived and loved and fought in the dreadful days when the Duke of Parma was ter rorizing the Protestants of the Low Countries, and when William the Silent was the champion of the new faith. It begins with the arrest of the parents of the hero and, taking D'Artveldt through his boyhood days, puts him soon in the midst of the wild whirl of things which made up the exciting life of that time and place. There is no lack ot incidents many of which are strikingly novel and the interest and manner has often a freshness which is very pleasing. The dramatic qualities at the end of the story which are more common in such novels are not found in this tale. Mr. Ingham in his preface, disavows any responsi bility for the opinions of his hero, but considering the fact that the better part of the story was probably written under trying circumstances, like the best work of Bunyan, Cer vantes and Defoe, much that its author has to say in regard to the reflections of his hero will be of in terest to those who believe him to have been a victim of circumstances Here is one of the passages: "Kven when one in surrounded' by 1 lit* blackest night,when justice has been blind Hint the nods appear ileal'; when irulli seems vanquished, when (riends disappear, when hope itself taken llight from the heart, there remains in the HOUI O!' the philosopher an abiding faith in the linal justice of Uod. The world seems big, I>lll how little it is when compared to the universe of the Almighty. This life some times seems long, especially in the days of care and sutlering, but how short it is compared to the eternity which awaits us. How vain it is,then, to bewail misfortunes heaped upon you by the wickedness ol man. Rather rejoice is as a school for the soul. If you have been reviled at and treated unjustly, and still keep vour heart open to the needs of human kind, rest assured that whatever the experience may do lor your persecutors, ti>r yourself it can work but good."

The number of excur sionists was not as large as antici pated. Social Ethics and Amcnit ies at Eagles Mere. At the Hotel Kagles Mere dinner Mr. C. Larue Munson, who is the prince of after dinner orators among us, our ('hauney Depew in fact,took occasion to express a wisii tiiat so cial conditions and habits might be more cordial and less reserved thau has been the Kagles Mere habit. In this the writer joins most heartily, albeit we would hardly have ven tured to express such a wish if it were not with the antecedent en dorsement of such ate unquestioned I authority. As to our social ethics as a sum mer resort, we are perhaps taking an assailable position when we say that in our summer community we have none. Admitting that there are exceptions to all rules and as suming the position that the except ion proves the rule we venture the declaration that our people leave at home most of the ordinary social rules and come to the mountains prepared to lead a free and easy life of every one for himself. The slight inaccessibility of Kagles Mere and its established character istics have had the effect of creating a condition that tloes not invite ob jectionable visitors. Like a certain well advertised soap that is declared to be ninety-nine and four-tenth pure, you might go through the com munity here and tind it almost, per haps quite, one hundred per cent' pure so far as its summer visitors are concerned. It is perfectly safe to find a sum mer acquaintance in any one who is found here. The generally accepted rule does not require the after niain tainence of summer acquaintances hut the time is so short that to wait on the ordinary customs of approach results in the opportunity being car ried awav on an unexpected train. If it is true that the sum of our happiness and pleasure is measured by the happiness and pleasure we give to others there are many of us who are missing a very eonsidt rable amount of it because we simply en tertain ourselves and pass by the numerous op|M>rtunitics where a smile or a pleasant greeting would give to others and bring to ourselves gratification that would lust longer than the season. It is simply wonderful what a large number of delightful people one may find here if conventionality is only laid aside. Mr. Mu.son in his address expressed the «>pe that changes might come t' in this re gard—we join inos' artiiy in his wish. There is co rattle room for en- 1 listments in tl.«» limited number who i give thought to the amenities of the place. It is quite easy to enjoy the almost entrancing beauty of the at the Carnival the other night but greater things might have been pos sible with an enlarged constituency. A baseball game gives /. st to an af ternoon, wakens up the nervous or ganization and its effects are visible around the tea table and we do not doubt that in this co-operation would be gladly welcomed. We are sur lounded by a country that nature has invested with charms not all of which have yet been discovered, and yet how few of us realize how much we might give pleasure to our friends from the cities if we were not quite too fully immersed in our own ideas to give a little time to unfolding these treasures to others. We sit in our cottages and on our porches without a gleam of brightness and think how beautiful the darkest night has become with the illuminated pictures that the lib erality or thoughtfulness of others has made possible to us, and yet our ! background is comparatively dark and careless to others because we are 1 too much immersed in ourselves to think for a minute that our cottages should be cheerful too, not only for those of us who are in them but also for those who would be able to en joy a cheerful outlook as fully as we j do. The limits of this article will not permit the multiplying of such in stances though there are very many jof theiu that involve little or no I expense and yet yield large returns jto those who have the generous | thought, because those who have sueh thoughts will derive real pleas j ure from the pleasure of giving to | others.
