The Doctor's ther mometer registered 117 degrees be low zero on April 21, 1008. Some of the friends of Artie Ex plorer Perry and other hard-to-bc-lleve people arc trying to put Dr. Cook in the Aninlas Club, but the Doctor has somo proofs to present that may place him in the Hall of Fame later on. Davius Green, the pioneer flying machine man, was looked upon as a lunatic because he tried to do what the aviators of to-day are do ing. If faluro to succeed in what other people believe is impossible is evidence of lunacy, then the more lunatics we have the greater will be the world's progress. Our sister nation, Canada, has had nearly onu hundred years of peace. Not since the war of 1S12 has her sword been unbuckled. The fruits of her long peace is seen in the prosperity of her people, and the great railroads she lias con structed across the continent. Siie is planning for a big celebration of the event in 1S14, which will be the centennial year of the end of her last appeal to arms. The only satisfaction that there is in the North Pole discovery, is the knowledge that the journey to that heretofore unvlslted region has been accomplished. Everybody knows that the world has a north and south pole, and Dr. Cook's re port that ho visited the former does not add to that knowledge. There Is nothing tangible in the exploit unless it is to prove that America has a Dr. Cook, a man with a won derful nerve and capable of great physical endurance. The lid which has made Hones dale a staid old town 3G5 days in the year, was blown off on Monday night of "Old Home Week" and there was an overilow of exuberancy that carried every one off their feet. People became intoxicated with joy and good fellowship and King Fun reigned supreme. There was no vicous disorder except by a few a very few v, ho went just beyond the lines of propriety. But gener ally everybody loosened up, and while the older peope went back at least twenty years in their lives the younger element took the "bit in their teeth" and all together they made the evening a merry one, and one long to bo remembered. As one oldtimer said, "Everybody was a boy or a girl again in action if not in age." Confetti, ticklers and horns wero greatly in evidence. No casualties. A Newspaper Man's Paradise. It has often been said that Minne sota is governed by the country edi tor. This may not bo strictly true, but certainly the "fourth estate" Is more numerously represented there in public place than in any other commonwealth. The governor, his private secre tary and executive clerk are country newspaper men; so are the labor commissioner, tho executive agent of the game and flsh commission, the state oil inspector, the state li brarian, the secretary and assistant secretary of state, the assistant la bor commissioner, the state fire warden, the assistant fire marshal, the deputy public examiner, tho secretary of the dairy and food com mission, the assistant clerk of the supreme court, tho secretary of tho board of control. Both political parties have recognized the capabil ity of the country editor for official position from . the earliest history of the state, and ho has already been an active force In legislative coun cils and In the minor places under the national and state governments, Governor Johnson of Minnesota In Tho Youth's Companion.

WEAVER, Chief of tho llonesdalo Fire Department, and Foreman of Protection Company No. 3. OLD HOME WEEKS. Tho habit of having "old home" celebrations is increasing, and the habit is a good one, says Collier's. It lends permanency to feelings and ideals; it cultivates tho imagination and the sentiments; it encourages an Interest In the human realities of history. These celebrations differ iu various places, but all live up to tho name, and the differences are not in spirit. In every case tho town is on its mettle to make its host appearance. In one small place, for Instance, of a thousand souls, lying more than a dozen miles from a railroad, we notice among tho events registered, tho reception of badges, sunrise salutes, band concerts, base ball games, au tomobile day, "hops," reunions, picnics, dramatic performances, gramophone entertainments, and as many items besides. Of course the son ordaughter of the town who has come from afar to sec "the old place" again can never see It en tirely as it was. The garden has new-fangled leanings, the well sweep has gone, the barn looks dif ferent, the clump of willows has grown. Much, however, comes back. Initials in the schoolhouse desk may recreate the past. Near the school, also, Is the little hollow where, one recess, you saw her, had your first light, aud gained a black eye. There is the old swimming hole, and, thought the underbrush about has changed, the boys are going through tho same motions on what looks like a smaller scale; and, likewise, tho cave upon tho hill, doubtless called the Devil's Don. An old flame is usually remembered. You go round to call upon her, you pat liar four lusty youngsters upon the head, and tell the mother tho while that she has discovered the fountain of eternal youth. Indeed, it might bo pleasantcr If thoro wero not something "doing" every second. Games, concerts, speechifying one can find everywhere. The old home could be better seen w'' t a little more of naturalness and quiet. THE NEW "HALF MOON." The Half Moon sailed into New York on July 22d, alter a twelve days' voyage from Rotterdam, hav ing beaten her previous record by just forty-seven days. This is not the sumo Half Moon that old Henry Hudson used In discovering New York, but it's as near like It as the Dutch could make It. The differ ence In speed is largely due to the fact that tho now Half Moon sailed over on tho deck of an ocean llnor, Instead of In the water, as was tho custom three hundred years ago. Thus she established a record for Half Moons that will probably stand for many years. Now York City, which had not been discovered for over threo hun dred years, was delighted at the novel experience. Tho natives crowded about the pier eager to get a glimpse of the strange craft from across tho sea. Tho savages stop ped scalping each other in the Stock Exchange and tried to sell stocks to tho strangers. During tho lunch hour thousands of young braves from the financial district went down aud had themselves discover ed. Tho crew of tho Half Moon, when interviewed, declared that they wore glad to bo back again after their long absence, and compliment ed Now York upon tho growth of her sky lino. President Taft Glad. Bovorly, Mass., Sept. 7. AVhen Pres ident Taft received tho news that Commander Ponry had reached the north polo he said: "I am very glad that Hie cninniiiudi'r has achieved suc cess. All American should be proud of It" DUTIES ON FARM PRODUCTS. Following are the rates of duty imposed by tho new tariff act on agricultural products and provisions that are brought into this country.

Be careful how you turn a horse that has been accustomed to a dry stable out to grass in tho Autumn. Ho Is poorly prepared to stay out in the cold rain, much less to Ho on tho wet ground. The exposure is too great and can only work harm; lung troubles may follow. Nothing improves tho coat of a horse so much or so quickly as a. little ground flaxseed with his dally grain ration. Never feed or water a tired horse until he has rested at least an hour. Sponge out tho mouth and noso with cool water and rub the legs and body well as soon as tho stable is reached. If water has been withheld for a long time give only a few swallows at a time. As heavy work slackens, slacken on the heavy feed. Thousands of horses are ruined every year by overfeeding while on light work. It is never well to give animals Impure or muddy water, but tho horso is especially apt to bo af fected badly by that practice. In fact, horses will not drink such wa ter if they can help it. Do your best to help It. Shoo every horse as lightly as Is possible for the labor ho is to per form and thus avoid needless con cussion and jar to feet and legs. After removing a saddle apply plenty of cold water with a sponge. This closes tho pores and no Injury or swelling will follow. It Is a good plan to girth a thick felt separately about tho horso un der a side saddle. This affords a surface for tho sad dle to move on and lessens tho dan ger of chafing or bruising. Never use a narrow bit. Buy tho largest and easiest ono that you cau find. WANTED Correspondents in every town, hamlet and village in Wnyno county. Address, Citizen, Honesdale, Pa.
