GOOD MORNING 1
(On The Farm.)
"Oil, my! Hero It's four o'clock
again, and I must get up, and bake
buckwheat cakes for that lazy ga
loot of n Sam. Hey, Sam! Wake
up! Go out and feed the stock and
milk the cows! Hurry up, or you
won't get any buckwheats and sau
sage for breakfast this morning!"
"All right, all right," lazily an
swered Sam, as he slowly got out of
bed, and leisurely put on his shoes
and unmentionables.
"Say, I reckon, this is tho day we
get our CITIZEN, ain't if." said Sam
ns ho came in with pails brimful of
milk, and a rosy color on his cheeks
"Thoso newspaper men in tho shiro
town are getting out n pretty good
paper nowadays."
. ."Yes, Sam, and J do see that they
have a "Bermudy contest" too. I
wonder if our Mary couldn't go?"
"Mebbc. I'm n going (o Hones
dale to-day, and I'll take her along.
We can go into THE CITIZEN ofllce
right over Friend Jadwln's Drug
Store, and talk it over."
GOOD EVENING!
(In Tho City.)
Yes, this has been a pretty cold
day, thank you. It was only eleven
degrees above zero ut o'clock this
(Thursday) morning. Say, you
aren't going to the moving pictures
to-night, are you? They say the're
great!
By the way did you notice that
THE CITIZEN was tlio only paper in
Houesdale that contained the Presi
dent's Message? THE WAYNE IN
DEPENDENT came out over an hour
after THE CITIZEN was being
eagerly read in the homes of the
Houesdale people, and didn't even
contain a line of tho President's Mes
sage. In newspaper parlance, THE
CITIZEN "put it all over" its ton
temporary in other words it "scoop
ed it."
THE STATE CONSTABULARY.
Tlio annual report of the Depart
ment if State Police for tho year
1000, recently Issued, states "there
has been a marked decrease in the
number of crimes committed in all
localities tlio Force has been able to
patrol, there having been il,700 ar
rests this year against ,,028 last
year. Tlio largest number of cases
under the Criminal Code were " As
sault and Battery," "Disorderly
Conduct," "Larceny," "Burglary,"
anil "Carrying Concealed Deadly
Weapons." Twenty-one arrests were
mado for murder, making a total of
101 arrests for murder and fil con
victions during the four years tho
Force has been in existence. Dur
ing the past year :S,7i)l arrests havo
been made for 80 different crimes.
11,01(1 of these arrested have been
convicted and 110 ure now awaiting
trial."
A more clllcieiit body of men than
tho State Constabulary would bo
hard to find In any of tho great
Commonwealths of these United
States. They have maintained or
der and enforced tho laws of the
Commonwealth in every county they
covered by their regular patrols.
They have assisted the Department
of Forestry by fighting forest Ores.
They have maintained quarantine
and prevented tho spread of contag
ious diseases. Tlio rights of every
hunter and fisherman havo been
safeguarded by their zealous en
forcement of tho laws against illegal
fishing and hunting. They aro phy
sically and morally a set oi men of
whom we as citizens of tho great
State of Pennsylvania may bo Justly
proud. May their shadows never
grow less, and may tho next Legis
lature appropriate still larger sums
of money for their upkeep and num
erical Increase.
Havo yun entered tbo Contest?
BUMPER CORN 0ROl
According' to Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, tho coin crop 'of tills

Census Shows Increase In State
DecK'aso In County.
Washington, D. C. Pennsylva
nia has n population of 7,GG5,111,
according to statistics of tho thir
teenth census, in ado public to-day.
This is nn Increase of 1,362,996,
or 21. G per cent, over 6,302,115 In
1900. Tho lncreaso from 1800 to
1000 Is 1,044,101, or 19.0 per cent.
Tho more rapid lncreaso of popu
lation betweon 1900 and 1910 than
was shown in tho previous decade, Is
ncceptod Jjy tho Census Bureau as
another indication that tho cities
and tho industrial centres generally
aro increasing at tho expense of tho
agricultural regions. Of tho slxty
sovon counties In Pennsylvania,
more than one-fifth show a falling

More 'Representatives.
Under tho new census Pennsylva
nia stands a fair chance to got a
larger representation in tho National
House of Representatives. The
present ratio of representation In
Congress Is one to every 194,182
people.. This gives thirty-two seats
to Pennsylvania with a surplus of
population that makes the ratio of
representation In the State actually
one to every 196,941 people.
If the same genernl ratio of rep
resentation, ono to 194,182, were
retained under tho new apportion
ment bill, which will bo passed at
the approaching session of Congress
or by tho next Congress, Pennsylva
nia would bo entitled to 39 seats,
an increase of Beven.
An even Increase of 1,200,000
would give the State six additional
members on the basis of 200,000 to
a member. Such a distribution,
however, would, In theory, leave
1G2.996 persons unrepresented. The
Increase Is that much In excess of
tho number required for six addi
tional Representatives under the
new apportionment.
A majority fraction of the ratio
fixed as a basis of apportionment Is
usually allowed representation,
Therefore, it would seem that Penn
sylvania would bo entitled to a gain
of seven Representatives.
Among somo Congressmen the talk
has been that tho ratio would bo
mado about ono to every 225,000
people. Even with that big Jump
Pennsylvania would be entitled to 34
Representatives, an Increase of two.
If tho ratio went higher tho State
would gain ono or possibly more.

"Boozer Day" In New York
CJussy bhow on Broadway.
Tho express strike Is off and the
messenger strike is on, with a rum
or of tho express strike boing re
newed, but still things keep moving.
Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany havo opened up In all their
splendor and we understand Glmbol
Brothers, who openod their storo iu
Septembor, aro taking Jn from $30,
000 to $60,000 a day.
Thanksgiving Day was "great."
Tho Salvation Army had what they
called "Boozer Day" and all tho "has
beens" wero Invited to parade. I
think they must havo all been there.
Judging from tho crowd In front of
their headquarters. They had tliclr
ilrst horso and wagon nnd their
placards certainly- woro great. Tho
ragamuffins also claim this day ns
theirs. Tlio boys mostly dross in
women's clothing, pnintlng their
faces with tho first thing In reach.
Dirt seemed to bo tho most import
ant Ingredient.
Wo woro so fortunate rocouUy as
to see Mrs. Theodora Roosevelt, also
a Spaniard with an unpronouncablo
naino who is tho "Diamond King df
Peru." He was stopping hero for a
fow days, having Just arrived from
Peru with his two sons whom he Is
taking to London to place In school.
Wo also met Ruth McEnory Stuart,
tho authoress, who recently wrote a
book entitled "Sonny," which Is
having a run nt present. Mrs.
Stuart is a very pelasant woman.
I think one of tho most beautiful
sights In Now York is that of tho
East River with Its two bridges as
seen from tho Brooklyn Bridge. To
look out from tho car window and
seo tho many trains passing on the
Qucensboro and Williamsburg
bridges and seo tho hundreds of elec
tric lights In the dlstanco makes ono
think of Edison, tho great Inventor,
as truly a wizard,
If you want to bo up in your mu
sic you must havo "Every Little
Movement Has a Meaning Of Its
Own," from Madame Sherry, which
by the way seems to be tho most
popular play of tho season.
"10 Years Ago."
Mr. Editor:
I wish to give through your naner
some of tho memories of forty-six
years ago when I was a soldier boy.
in May, 1864, my regiment was or-
dored to tho front at tho Wilderness
and during the summer we took
part In every engagement in front
ot Petersburg.
Septembor 29, 18G4, wo Were or
dered northward across tho James
river and took several small forts
In that locality. We woro soon or
dered to charge on a fort on Cap
on's Farm but we were not able to
take it as It was nearly surrounded
by gunboats and forts. Instead of
taking the fort wo wero taken pris
oners and carried to Richmond
where we spent two days and two
nights In Llbby prison and one night
on Belle Island and then on to Salis
bury, N. C, whero we wero confined
for six mdnths with untold misery
and starvation with a death rate of
916 per month. Forty-six years
have passed and Pennsylvania has
erected a monument for over 12,-
000 soldiers who All unknown
graves at Salisbury. N. C.
I attended the dedication 'oi 'the
monument November itith in com
pany with about 175 old comrades.
Upon our arrival we were greeted
with martial music and confederate
soldiers. The Governor of North
Carolina gave the welcome address,
and said that the South was in
much better shape financially and
in more prosperous condition than
ever before.
Yours truly,
J. W. BIDWELL.

PEOPLE'S FORUM.
Church Doors .Should (to Opened

Mr. Editor:
From sunrlso to sunset tho Housoj

Illm In tho building which has becnl
set apart as tho common gathering'

knowledge their dependence, upon n'
heavenly Father. As In an earthly i

the blessed moments when parent
nnd child alone with each other may
look Into each other a souls, may
pour Into each other's ears the lit
tle confidences of their sacred rela
tionship, may make tho many dally
requests for parental or filial favors
so In addition to tho uplift and en
thusiasm that come from tho public
worship of God, there should bo the
opportunity for tho gaining of quiet
strength by communing alone with
God. It Is most true that anywhere
and everywhere tho eager soul may
seek after God and find Him; but it
is also true that there are places
which more than others remind us
of the abiding presence of Him into
whoso spiritual image It is our
birth-right to grow. Tho prayers of
Moses wero heard amid tho distract
ing scenes of his llfo in Egypt, but
in the wild solitudes of lofty Horeb
ho could more readily receive tho
inspiration from oh high. So to tho
church set npart as a meeting place
ot God's Soul with tho soul of man
It is natural and right for a man to
turn that he may seek and receive
the divine blessing. With reason
able restrictions tho door of the
church should no mora bo closed
against the children of God than tho
door of tho home against the chil
dren of tho family.

Its bitterest gall. Yes, wo havo all

almost bewildered at tho diversity Of
pursuits, nut, however complicated
or diversified, they all sum up In
profit or loss. Reverses and tribula
tions havo been tho portion of thous
ands, but through It all there has
lived tho well-grounded hopo of a

has been looked forward to with
hopeful anticipations, and this has
cheered and encouraged many who

Joys, will soon, bo reached on tho
dial of time, which comtnomoratcs
an event which brought llfo and hope
to all mankind. It Is well to lay
aside, as far as possible, tho cares
and troubles of life, and look stead
fastly to the future with all-abiding
faith that It will bring with It the
better things that havo boon absent
in the past. Let all rejoice, and do
not let the cause of rejoicing cease

December brings our good earth
ship back to her last port for 1910.
Wo And the sun slipping into tho
signs Sagittarius and Capricornus.
This is becauso earth has moved for
ward from sign Gemini Into Cancer.
There will bo nineteen "high flood"
days, balanced by twelve "low ebb"
days; therefore tho vital forces will
predominate. The stock markets
may have quite a little strength oft
and on till the middle of the month
and then both markets reverse; the
last part of tho month should havo
considerable strength. The center
of Winter solstice begins December
22, the earth reaches Its turning
point in its annual revolution around
tho sun; therefore we may expect
(meteorological phenomena peculiar
to mo period. The greatest storm
period will occpr on or about the 5th
16th and 23rd.
To every reader wo extend our
most heartful greetings, with tho
hope that each will enjoy a merry
Christmas, and that the ensuing year
will be to all a season of unalloyed

NARROW ESCAPE OF
MASTER YE RICES.
Almost Burned To Death In Saturday
Night Blaze At His Parents'
Home.
Nothing short of a miracle saved
Master Lewis, the bright five-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Judson
Yerkes, 1403 East street, from be
ing burned to death Saturday even
ing, shortly after 8 o'clock, in his
crib in a second-story bed-room by
the explosion of a Vapo-Cresoline
lamp which his mother, who had
left the room only a few minutes be
fore, after seeing her son was sound
asleep, was burning to alleviate the
attack of bronchitis from which her
little boy was suffering.
Mrs. Yerkes, with a womanly In
tuition that all was not right, went
upstairs to take another look at her
sleeping child. What was her hor
ror, to find the bed-clothes a mass
of flames. She screamed for help,
and her mother, Mrs. Isaac E. Tib
bets, who lives in the same house,
came up the stairs In a twinkling,
grasped the child, and tried to put
out the flames. Tho neighbors were
speedily summoned by their cries
for help and Mr. Yerkes, general
bookkeeper in tho Wayne county
Savings Bank, who was at the Ex
change Club was sent for. Before
he returned however, the fire was
put out, owing largely to tho of
forts of Frank Voltaire and ti. 11.
Richards, who carried several buck
ets full ,of water upstairs.
The mattress In tho crib was
thrown out of tho window all ablaze.
Little damage wns dono to the room
however, beyond the scorching of
tho wall, and tho burning of several
holes In the rug. Tho water used
to put out tho fire probably did
moro damage than the flro itself.
Tho flro attracted a largo crowd
of Saturday night shoppers but ns
the blazo was extinguished almost
Instantly, pedestrians did not lin
ger long at the scene of the accident.
Mrs. Tlbbets, in trying to outen the
flames, burned her hand severoly.
She also sufferod a severe nervous
shock.
To tho credit of tho Fire Depart
ment It must bo said that thoy re
sponded promptly to the cnll for help
even nlthough their services were
not required. Tho Honesdalo Flro
Department, made up as It Is of
