In to-day's Citizen will be found a very gratifying report of the con tinual growth of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank. Miss Sargent, a teacher at Beach Grove, was taken sick about supper time on Wednesday and was taken to a hospital where an opera tion will be performed for appendi citis. She was attending the Insti tute and had not been feeling well two days prior. A Wllkes-Barre jury awarded a widow ?625 for the killing of her husband at a railroad crossing, de spite the fact that the company had previously paid $700 for damage to an automobile at the same cross ing. But before criticizing the Jury harshly we should have to know more about the husband. The man who sneers at politi cians and doesn't take the trouble to lend his active support to the work of good government, in spite of disappointments in men and things, is not the best citizen in the community, no matter what his standing nor his moral example. Scranton Republican. This evenings entertainment, "The American Husband," comes highly recommended and we trust to see a large attendance of the peo ple of Honesdale and vicinity, as Superintendent Koehler depends upon a good attendance to meet the expenses incurred by these enter tainments. In summing up the value of advertising John Wanamaker, one of the largest and most consistent advertisers In the country, is tfuOt- ed as saying: "Advertising does not ierk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It in creases day by day and year by year until It exerts an irresistible power." One of the young lady cornetlst who performed at the Lyric Wed' nesday evening, was rendered un conscious, having several fainting spells, caused by the receipt of a telegram, that her mother had died at her home in Boston. The tele gram was received here about noon but was purposely not delivered to her, until the entertainment was over. The young lady left on the early morning train yesterday for home. A town is like a large family. We are all interested in each other's welfare, or should be. A cut-throat, every man for himself policy means ruin for any community. It means retrogression and failure. The first lesson that any family must learn is that to be happy and successful in unity and mutual assistance. The same applies to the business life of a town and the more generally It is obeyed the more abundant will be the town's, prosperity. Stand by each other and patronize the home folks. There is no man so poor that he can't afford tobacco. This is one of the things that is passing strange. You will often encounter a man who claims that he hasn't eaten anything for three days and who holds cigar in his hand while he makes the claim. On every block may be found the Individual who would like to subscribe for the paper If he could afford it; he can afford to buy a chunk of tobacco as long as your arm two or three times a week, but he can't afford to store his mind with knowledge. Tobacco is a love ly and beautiful thing, but it takes a lot of money to keep a corncob pipe going for a year, even with cheap material. There are a few people In every place (and pretty nice people too) who will enter a grocery store, run their fingers into a barrel and lop up a couple of ounces of sugar, nib ble at the back of a herring, eat a handful of nuts, cut off a slice of cheese, Just to taste, then, as a mat ter of course, must take a few crack' ers; and perhaps before thoy have made up their mind to buy a bar of soap, they have oaten up the profits on 12 worth of groceries, and to wina li au up mey nave ii cnargea an1 the poor merchant perhaps realizes a profit ot one cent- They leave the store munching a couple of applet. This is no dream but a reality, except some times they don'i buy any soap. Bat such u me. A marriage license haa been granted to Felix Sartorl and Mary Minno, both of Hawley. Will Eldred, who is employed by the Erie Railroad in New York City, is spending a fow days at his home here. Mrs. Noyes and little daughter, of Pleasant Mount, are guests at the homo of James McDermott on North Main street. President Taft reached Wash ington Wednesday evening after swinging around the circle to the extent of 13,000 miles. County Superintendent Koehler is to be commended for the excellent programme which he prepared for Institute week, and it is to be re gretted that the town people have not patronized the evening entertain ments to a larger extent. George Keyes, of Morence, Mich igan, but a native of this county, was a caller at the Citizen office this week. He is the same good-natured George. His western experience has matured him along the lines ot good citizenship and nelghborliness that he was noted for when with us. It looks as If the Amendments were defeated. Last reports were that 60 counties out of 67 give 30, 000 majority against them. Phila delphia has not been heard from, and although its vote will reduce this majority it is not believed it will be large enough to overcome it. Frank Watterson, of Hawley, was committed to the county Jail on Monday. Watterson was arranged before Justice of the Peace W. B. Ammerman of Hawley, on the charge of assault and battery, perferred against him by Margaret and Robt., children of John Anderson. He was given a hearing and committed to the county Jail in default of bail. At the State Sunday school con vention in session at Harrisburg re cently it was stated that of the six teen million scholars enrolled in the United States, about one-eighth, or nearly two millions, are In this state. Pike county has the smallest per centage of Sunday school member ship of any county in the state, only 1,500 being' enrolled out of about 10,000 populatipn. The following real estate trans fers have been recorded: Wm.- H. Mclntyre, of Damascus, to W. A. Schweighope, 57 acres in Damas cus township.

David Belasco's own company In his successful play "The Girl of tho Golden West" will be presented for tho first time in this city on Satur day night, Nov. 13th, at the Lyric Theatre. Mr. Belasco has used a device for transporting his audiences to the scene of the play that is at once extremely simple and admirably clever. When tho first curtain rises tho audience gazo upon tho moun tain path that traverses Cloudy Mountain and leads at last to tho village. Tho mountain recedes as if the spectator were descend ,ng the path, and eventually finds himsolf at the Polka Saloon, listening to the music and shouts from within and watching the snow beating against the wlndowB. Then the panorama curtain la lifted and the visitor finds himsolf insldo the saloon, side by side with tho people of the play, From that time until tho final cur tain the auditor travels, not at a distance, watching the developments through a telescope, but In com pany with the characters, feeling the Interest of one who was part of the settlement ot Cloudy Mountain, and vitally concerned In everything tuat takes place. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE NOW IN SESSION Ileld in thb New High School Audi torium Instructive Bpcakci Flno Weather and a Sue cess in Every Detail. On Tuesday morning the devotion al exercises were conducted by Rev. W. H. Swift of the Presbyterian church. After music, Dr. Schmucker spoke on "The Meaning of a Flower." Know the purpose of each part of the flower. Use a microscope in or der to study each part. The speak er illustrated the subject of fertili zation and the use of the parts by description and illustrations of the nasturtium. Dr. Rigdon's subject was "The Study ot Grammar." English Grammar is the most dif ficult thing to learn or to teach in our public school course. Mathe matical tacts are absolutely fixed. Language is continually growing and changing. Sentences may have more than ono meaning. In order to correct a mistake we must know the principle ot Gram mar and be able to apply it. We must proceed from the stage of un conscious error through conscious correctness to unconscious correct ness. Dr. Rigdon spoke first in the after noon on "Physical Efficiency." We emphasize the training of the mind. The body ought to have a little more attention than most of us give to it. A sound body is worth more than lands or bank accounts. We should give our attention to being well. Health is something we should think of as a duty; we have no right to be sick when it is at all possible to be well. Every disease that shows itself is contagious. Nervous ness is contagious in the schoolroom. An ugly voice will be copied by the children. There are five things to think of In trying to keep well food, air and exercise, bathing and sleep. There are more people killed by over-eat ing than by starvation. Fresh air is the main source of health. Breathing good, pure air in a proper way will help to right living. Sleep is the thing that builds up the body better than anything science knows about. Dr. Schmucker continued his in struction on Nature Study. A theory of nature study in a single sentence. Nature study is the study of Nature. You cannot get it from books or by lltsening to lectures. The first thing to overcome in this study is fear. We have a fear of the living things. When we get ac quainted with the insects and other living things we shall learn not to be afraid of them. There are only two poisonous snakes known in this country, the rattlesnake and the adder, and they are very scarce in most localities. A new and pleasant feature of Tuesday afternoon was the visit of the G. A. R. Post. "The Star Span gled Banner" was sung as a greet lng to the soldiers, after which Post Bugler John Fischer sounded "The Assembly." Post Commander Wil son then gave an outline of the causes of the war, the army organi zation, and methods of operation, The lowest unit of organization was the company, with three commis sioned officers and ninety-eight en listed men, commanded by a captain Next was the regiment, consisting of ten companies of infantry, or twelve of cavalry, commanded by a colonel. Next was the brigade, consisting of several regiments, the number de pending on their strength, and com' manded by a brigadier-general. The usual number of regiments in a bri gade was four; but Warren's bri gade, at the battle of Gaines's Mill, had only two; other brigades had three. During the last year of the war, after the regiments had been "bled down to quarter size," as the losses were described by the men in the ranks, there were brigades with from six to eight regiments. Next was the division, commanded by a major-general. It usually con sisted of three brigades, but some times a fourth was added. Next was the army corps, commandeu also by a major-general. This usually con slsted ot three divisions; but some times a fourth was temporarily added; and in McClellan's Chicka- hominy campaign, upon tho organl zation of the provisional Gth and 6th corps, every corps was cut down to two divisions. In connection with this, two sheets of canvas, each bIx feet by nine, were suspended on the wall. On one of these were painted tho corps badges of the army of tho Potomac, and the corps, divis ion and brigade headquarters flags The first corps badge was a disc, the second a clover leaf or trefoil, the third a diamond; these were Jocular Iy called the bull'soye, the ace of clubs, and the ace ot diamonds. The fifth corps badge was a Maltese cross, tho sixth a Greek cross, the ninth a shield, on which were a can non and "foul anchor," the eleventh a crescent,, and the twelfth a five- pointed star. These were worn on tho caps, and their color varied with the division; those of tho first dl vision being red, ot the second dl vision white, ot tho third division blue. Thus every man's badge showed to which corps and division ho belonged. The headquarters flags wore designed on the samo plan, The corps flag was a large blue swallow-tail, with the corps badge in tho center, in white, with the tig' lire representing the corps number la red, on the badge. The division flags were rectangular and nearly square, with the corps badge is the center. The first division flag waa white, with red badge; tho second division flag blue, with white badge; tho third division flag whlto, with blue badge. The brigade flags were triangular, with tho corps baago in the center. In the brigade flags, the Held and badge corresponded in color with tho division to which they belonged. The brigades of the first division had white flags, with the corps badge in red; those of the second division had blue flags, with the corps badge in white; those of the third division had white flags, with the corps badge in blue. Tho brigade flags were further marked to indicate the number of the brigade; the first brigade flag bearing only the corps badge; the second brigade flag having a stripe, or bar, a few Inches wide, next the staff; the third brigade flag having a similar stripe or bar next the staff and also on each edge; and when there was a fourth brigade its flag had n triangu lar block of color at each of the three corners. The color of these depended on the division to which the brigades belonged, and was such that each brigade flag exhibited the national trl-color, red, white, and blue. Thus the brigade flags of the first division, in which the field was white and the badge red, had blue stripes; those of tho second division, In which the field was blue and the badge white; had blue stripes; those of the third brigade, In which the field was white and the badge blue, had red stripes. These flags and badges were not for display, but served an Important pur pose. The flags were carried by mounted orderlies, who rode near the corp. division or brigade com mander, in the course of a march, or of maneuvers, or of a battle, it was often necessary for a regimental, brigade or division commander to send to another, or to his superior, a report of the situation; of the hos tile force on his front; the move ments of the enemy which he had observed, the success or failure of movements undertaken, a request for further orders, or for reinforce ments; or for corps and division commanders to send orders to their subordinates; and it was important for the courier bearing these to de liver them as speedily as possible. Therefore the courier with a dis patch for the corps commander look ed for the swallow-tail with a white badge; if with a dispatch for the first division commander, he looked for the square white' flag with red badge; if for the first brigade, he looked for the plain white triangle with the division badge; and so of other divisions and brigades. To find the flag was to find the commander. The place of the commander-in-chief was indicated by the national flag. In the Virginia campaign beginning in May, 1864, Gen. Grant, as com mander-in-chief, had the national cplors; and Gen. Meade, as com- manaer or tno army oi me .roiomac, had a rectangular flag, lavender in color, with a large gilt eagle in the center, surrounded by a gilt wreath And as the corps, division and brl' gade commanders went from point to point, they were readily recogniz ed by their flags. The other canvas exhibited the four Confederate bat tie-flags adopted by the Confederate government at different periods of the war. Miss Lillian M. Barberl then recited T. Buchanan Read's famous p6em, "Sheridan's Ride," in a man ner characterized by unusual spirit, impresslveness and effect. As one of tho veterans said of it, "She gave it Just as if she had been there and seen the whole business." Miss Sara Storm followed with a very pleasing whistling solo. A description of the battle of Cedar Creek by a participant in that battle, Mr. Graham Watts, was very Interesting, and the Use of the Army Signal Flag, illustrated and explain ed by Mr. O. M. Bates, of Oneonta, N. Y., was new to most of the audi ence and very interesting. This in significant looking flag has won more victories for our army than any other except Old Glory and de serves to be honored. The entertainment In the Lyric on Tuesday evening wa3 given by the Watkins Concert Company and was delightful In every way. The sing' ers are all artists in their line and the Schubert Quartette was parties larly enjoyed. Prof. Chambers'. readings were exceptionally good as the number of times he was recalled testified. WEDNESDAY. Rev. A. L. Whlttaker, of the EplS' copal church, conducted the dovot lonal exercises on Wednesday morn lng. Dr. Schmucker continued Instruct tion on Nature Study. There are several difficulties in your minds as to teaching Nature. Greatest of these perhaps is lack of time. Our programs are too full already. Do not try to make a place on your pro gram for this study. Do not call It Nature Study to your class but have a definite plan in your own mind and a subject for tho week. Suppose you choose the apple; bring one to the drawing class on Monday. Draw- lng an object will make the child observe It as nothing else will. On Tuesday use the apple in ybur Lan guage class; In this way use it in different classes through the week and you have gained a great amount of Information with no extra tlmo devoted to the subject. Dr. Rigdon spoke again on Oram' mar. It is not always necessary to make tho subject interesting. Some times the pupils must get down to hard work and conquer difficulties as such. Education consists in get ting Ideas and then relating them. In the field ot expression Grammar ookm in. Do not mix science and beauty. Do not study grammar and literature together. Teach grammar as a study of words and sentences. Tho last period in tho morning Dr. Schmucker talked on "Botany in the High School" to the High school teachers while Divisions two and three were given "A Grammar Lea son" by Dr. Rigdon. In the afternoon Prof. Watkins conducted a very, helpful music drill from half past one till two. Dr. Rigdon spoke on "Matter and Meth od." These may exist In four rela tions; bad matter and bad method; bad matter and good method; good matter and bad method or good matter and good method. No. amount of method will help us to teach a subject we do not know. We must get the matter be fore we can apply the method. Elo cution is a flno thing but no amount ot elocution will enable a man to express himself If ho -has nothing to say. The greatest word In the vo cabulary of life is the word and. Take both matter and method and you have the ideal teacher. The audience were again favored by a whistling solo by Miss Storm. Joseph N. Jacob gave his declama tion which was greatly enjoyed by the large audience. Prof. Watkins sang two selections which were enjoyed as Prof. Wat kins' solos always are. Dr. Schmucker gave his last talk on the "Meaning of Fruit." A seed is not only a plant baby but with in heritance enough to live or till it is able to work for Itself. All farmers know of the necessity of rotation of crops. It is probably due to the fact that plant roots throw off a secre tion which poison the soli. Our ex hausted soils are due to pollution more than exhaustion. Anyway the worst place to plant an acorn is under an oak tree, or a chestnut under a chestnut tree. So Nature has provided ways for seeds to be carried to new soil. The wings of the maple, the parachute of the dandelion, and the ticks and burrs made to be carried by fur bearing animal. s In the case of fruit enough edible pulp has been placed around the seed to furnish food for man and animal. So they carry the seed to a distance from the tree and the seed Is thrown into a new place. In closing Dr. Schmucker compli mented the teachers on their atten tion and Interest and also urged them all to work to improve them selves and their profession. There are coming into our hands boys and girls careless ' and thoughtless soo that they are stronger and finer men and women because of a little of the Impress of your character on their lives. The entertainment on Wednesday evening given by the Commonwealth Ladles' Quartette of Boston, Mass., ,was of an exceptionally high order, and was well appreciated by the hearers. THURSDAY. Rev. George S. Wendell of the Baptist church led the devotional exercises. After the music period Dr. Rigdon continued his talk on "Grammar. In the study of a pronoun be ready without using a book to work out the construction of the pro noun in the order of their difficulty. First be able to recognize the pro noun; 2nd, classify them; 3rd, de velop their construction; 4th, parse, them; 5th, fill blanks; 6th, form original sentences illustrating con struction. After intermission Dr. Chas. H. Gordlnier, ot Cumberland Valley Normal School, was introduced and spoke on "The First Lesson." Obedi ence, the first and most important lesson as the most comprehensive. The amount of power measures our responsibility. Obedience is the great fundamental law Of life. The ideal life is the life of perfect obedience. Obedience in life always means gain. Disobedience means loss. If we dis obey we must suffer. If the civil law is broken the loss is great not only to the individual but to his friends, the community and the state. In the spiritual law the same result obtains. Moses disobeyed and lost entrance to the promised land. As to the school room first the obedience must be prompt; next we must secure implicitness of obedience. Make reasonable requirements and be sure that it is carried out to the letter. Lastly obedience to bo per fect must be cheerful. The last period in the morning was occupied by Dr. Gordlnier in the High school division and Prof. Oden C. Gortner of Mansfield State Nor mal School who spoke on "The Daily Program," giving a great amount of practical help to the teacher of ungraded school on the arrangement and carrying out of the program. Have a systematic arrangement of your work for the day. Give tlmo for recess and recreations. Give most difficult work early In the morning while the mind is fresh. Vary your program so that tho dif ferent faculties come into play. Make your program flexible. Court Notes.
