GOOD EVENING!
(In Tho City.)
Tcs, wo know It's cold. When wo
loft our hotel to go to business tills
morning tho thermometer registered
fourteen degrees nbovo zero. But
Hion, yoti know, it's AVlnter, and wo
sinst expect cold weather, oven In
Honesdale.
By tho way, tho 'corner of Main
nd Park street is said to ho tho
oldest place in town. "They ought
to shear a lamb of its ilecco, and tie
It to tho bridge," said a prominent
itizen tho other day, "for tho Lord
Always tempers tho wind to tho
horn lamb!"
GOOD MORNING
(On Tho Farm.)
"Say. Mirandy, I was up tow
Honesdale this morning and saw that
Van Alstcen feller. Ho told mo all
about that 'Bermudy' contest, and
aid our Mary had as good a chance
as any ono to win."
"All right, Sam, It'll be a nice trip
for some one. I do hope Mary will
try to win it."
"Say, Mirandy, I talked witli one
f those reuorters in the shiro town
Ho tried to tell mo tho cost of living
was goin' down. A whole lot he
knows about It, loo. Ho boards at
hotel!"
"Well, Sam, they do say they have
the loveliest hats in Honesdale for
$1.08. Now I haven't had ta hat
for "
"There you go again! Just like
you wlmmeii folks. Vou'ro always
wanting money to prink up."
NEWSPAPER HYSTERICS.
Our esteemed, down-the-avenuo
contemporary, THE WAYNE COUN
TY II KHALI), had nn attack, la its
last Issue, of "newspaper hysterics."
This is n form of hysteria common
to tho profession, and is most in
evidence when a good "story" is on
hand and courage is lucking to pub
lish it. Come on, brother, you
surely do not wish ns to believe that
tho papers of Honesdale wear a
" muzzle," and must tremble in
their shoes, for very fear, when Ihey
land a good bung-up "story," lest
by any ehunce, tho publication of
the. same, may induce certain indivi
duals to sit up and take notice?
GIVE US COFFEE, OH WE
PERISH!
Kow if our dear contemporary
had only spoken of a "Tempest in a
Coffeepot," instead of a "Tempest In
a Teapot," these lines never would
hnvo been written, for we do SO
love "cofTee." Tea seems to us
uch an effeminuto beverage, hardly
p to the measure of what u man
needs to top off a good dinner. Whut
would this good old world amount
to anyhow, if there wasn't nny cof
fee, or any tobacco for that matter
either. Please don't uso such
"weak" ilgures of speech In com
menting upon a matter of sucli
vital importance, again. Wo know
thcro is u decided local option sen
timent in tho shire, but thank Kood
ess, that shouldn't prevent anyone
from using strong Ilgures of speech!
HERALD'S CHRISTMAS NUMBER
Our esteemed contemporary, THE
WAYNE HERALD, npieared on tho
streets Friday afternoon, a day later
than usual. Brother Rlmmuiithus
Mortimer Stocker Is perfectly ex
cusable for tho deluy, when you
como to consider tho number of
pages, twenty-four, in tho week-end
edition. Ho culls It u "Christinas
number," and it is In every way
worthy tho name ho gives it. It Is
brimful of tho holiday spirit, and
running over with advertisements
Consider our hut off, (even if it Is
ten degrees below zero) and accept
the heartiest congratulations of THE
CITIZEN on your well-planned and
splendidly-executed project!
Tho local business situation has
been strengthened greatly by the
opening' of tho holiday trade.
Honesdale should have a Merry
Christmas this year. Good wages nrc
being paid by our captains of in
dustry' and by business houses In
general. Our banks are prosperous
and enterprising.
According to tho "Financial Re
view," "tho clothing business gives
no e.vcuso for nn assertion that tho
cost of living is higher now than it
was n tow years ago. Within tho
past year thero lias been a drop In
tho prices of clothing of perhaps (en
per cent."
Tho price of necessities In tho way
of foodstuffs has not increased. Po
tatoes nro twcnty-ltvo rents a bushel
cheaper than they wero n year ago.
Butter, eggs and milk, It is true, are
advancing steadily, but tho reason
for this is that tho market demand
is greater than tho supply.
"It Isn't tho tilings you do, dear;
"It's tho thing you'vo loft undone,
Which gives you a bit of heart nclio
At tho sotting of tho sun;
Tho tender word forgotten,
Tho letter you did not write,
Tho Uowor you might huvo sent,
dear,
Aro your haunting ghost to-night."
POOR DOBBIN!
Pretty generally Honesdale team
sters do take good caro of their
horses but thero is just ono thing
wortli mentioning: When a horse
falls on a slippery street throw a
blanket or on old pteco of carpet
under It. This will give it a foot
ing on which It can rise without
danger or Injury.
LET THE REFORMER SHOUT.
Ho Is always ready to cry corrup
tion and fraud when it comes to
criticising tho Republican party and
Republican politicians. What does
ho think of reform in New York?
Tho statement filed with tho Secre
tary of Stato at Albany shows that
It required an expenditure of $328,
000 to elect Dlx, Democrat, govern
or. Tho Republican stato commit
teo expended S11!5,5U0. Still the
reformer shouts loud and long.

ONE ON "THE HERALD."
Tho Lord has paved our streets
at last. Jack Frost is ono of the
best road commissioners that ever
worked on our streets. With just
a little snow wo would bo In line
with our neighbors up tho county.
Honesdale Herald.
Yet wo have read nowhere that
snow and ico aro to bo expected in
tho Heavenly streets, though It bo
written that in the other place
snow bails will not have much
chance. Down tills way tho same
agent has hidden our pavement.

VENTILATION NECESSARY
TO PERFECT HEALTH.
.Many Families Keep Their Living
Rooms Too Hot to Which Many
Colds May Bo Attributed.
A problem which Is worthy of
consideration, especially at this time
of the year, when we merge from
one season to another, is the prop
er temperature of our living rooms,
according to the Doylestown Intel
ligencer. '
Ono of tho first criticisms a for
eigner makes when ho visits this
country for tho first time, is tho
habit we have of overheating our
homes.
The habit Is a bad one, and Is not
only costly, but unhealthy. Rooms
In which tho thermometer runs up
much over seventy degrees are en
ervating to the system, and when
one is not strong any passing germ
has a good fighting chance. A wom
an accustomed to spending part of
her time In the kitchen, where of
necessity there Is much heat, finds
the other rooms cold, or at least
chilly. This they aro only by corn
prison, but tho woman will not be
lieve it.
Who has not visited In homes
where tho temperature of tho living
room is nearly eighty degrees and
yet where the housewife constantly
keeps a wrap on and still complains
of tho cold.
Seventy degrees is warm enough
for health, and If ono can stand It,
oven a lower tempcraturo Is better.
Colds that como at this tlmo of
year aro duo just as much to over
heated houses as to othor exposure.
If mothers would undorstand this,
If they would keep their children
clean and froo from Indigestion, and
poorly ventilated rooms, thero
would bo far fewer colds.
Let every bedroom hnvo a thor
ough airing each day. If more
than ono person sleeps In a room,
special attontlon should bo given to
tho ventilation.
Uso as many warm, lightweight
uiunKeis ns you need at night, but
be sure to havo quantities of freah
air. This does not m on n Hint nnn
should sleep in a draft or that tho
uir suuuiu mow airectiy on ono.
Neglect of bathing is ono of tho
first causes of cold. Keep children
from playing In chilly, unused
rooms, too, but lot thorn bo properly
wrapped up and play out-of-doors
as much as possible Speclnl atten
tion should bo given to their feot,
which should bo kept warm and
dry. Good flannels and rubbers will
often -save doctor's IiIIIr.
A llttlo caro on tho part of tho
nouscwiro, wnen onco sho grasps tho
importance of theso few details, will
hnln rnrroot Hin hnrl Imlilta wlilM,
may thus be changed into tho most
uuipiui wuy uy wuicn mo entiro
household may bo benefited.
PEOPLE'S FORUM.
:
Editor of THE CITIZEN:
Somo fow days ago you asked mo
to glvo my vlows on tho question of
tho open church, to be published
with expressions of views by many
others on tho sumo subject. But
when I discovered what I had writ
ten printed by Itself under tho cap
tion, "Tho People's Forum," I folt
that It would most certainly puzzle
somo of my friends thnt I should
hnvo volunteered nn nrticlo on this
subject. Under nil tho clrcum
stnnccs it might, to somo of my
brothor mlnlstors who do not keep
their churches open, even soom pre
sumptuous. But If you will kindly
print this lottcr In tho saino column
In which tho article appeared, It
will affard n sufficient explanation,
and I shall bo much Indebted to
you.
Sincerely yours,

THE BOY WHO FORGETS.
I lovo him, the boy who forgets.
Does It seem such a queer thing
to say?
Can't help It. He's one of my pets,
Delightful at work or at play.
I'd trust him with all that I own
And know neither worries nor
frets,
But the secret of this lies alone
In the things that tho laddie for
gets.
He always forgets to pay back
Tho boy who has dono him an 111.
Forgets that a grudgo ho owes Jack
And smiles at him pleasantly still.
lie always forgets 'tis his turn
To chooso what tho others shall
play,
Forgets about others to learn
Tho gossipy things that "they
say."
Ho forgets to look sulky and cross
When things aro not going his
way,
Forgets somo ono's gain Is his loss,
Forgets In his work tlmo his play,
So this Is why I take his part,
Why I say ho Is ono of my pets.
I repeat It with all of my heart,
I lovo him for what ho forgets!
