TENEH MAKING GOOD.
Governor John K. Tener Is "milk
ing Rood" at a rate that is astonish
ing his warmest friends, nnd disconi
llting his greatest enemies. It nl
wuys pays to put a "business man"
at tlio helm of alTnirs. Wo predict,
that under bis administration, Penn
sylvania will enjoy a regime that
will redound to the peace and pros
perity of its Inhabitants.
AliHAHAM LINCOLN.
Next Monday, the anniversary of
tlio birth of the Great Kinanclpntor,
Abraham Lincoln, will occur. We
aro pleased to see that so many of
tlio pastors of Honesdnlo and Wnyno
county churches are planning speciol
services for next Sunday. Tho roll
ing years add but new lustre to the
memory of tho man who kept the
Union, one and Inseparable.
PUBLIC OPINION.
Public opinion is a very uncertain
commodity. It runs this way and
that. Like a pendulum it swings
from one extreme to tho other.
Sometimes we think John Smith is a
dcml-god, and then again wo ore
sure he is a semi-devil. Days come
when every plcnsure-lovlng citizen is
sure John Smith will ho tho lucky
winner, hut when tho political
"sinews of war" arc exhausted, and
"smokes" and "frc water" are no
longer to bo had for the asking, en
thusiasm wunes and Mr. Voter Is not
quita so sure about tho successful
outcome of John Smith's candidacy.
lly the way, very few people now
adays are perpetrating tho blunder
of a certain railroad magnate, who
some years ago relieved his sur
charged feelings by saying "The peo
ple bo d d." It is amusing to see
how contemptuously certain individ
uals speak of tho "power of the
press," and jet how they will move
heaven and earth to prevent the pub
lication of their faults and foibles.
It might be just us well for cer
tain persons to remember, that the
public press, is not only a "mirror,"
but a "moulder" of public opinion.
THE WEATHEU.
We admit, at the outset, that "the
weather can talk for Itself." It
seems to us that it must bo u "lin
guist," to judge from tho many var
ieties of temperature wo have ex
perienced this Winter. One, day It
will be lukewarm, the next morning
rold, tho following evening, the mer
cury will frantically climb up the
tube. Oh, It lias been a grout Win
ter an awful winter for "Grippy
Colds," for "Grip and Near-Grip,"
for Itbeumatism and nil the ills that
human llesli Is heir to. Oh, for a
gold old-fashioned Winter the kind
you read about, tho sort wo used
to enjoy, when as little kids, with
knee-deep pants, wo used, unwilling
ly to trudge to the dear little old Hed
School-house, where wo assimilated
learning by tho famous "hickory pro
cess," WOODMAN SPAUK TILVT TKEE!
Tlio man who wrote those famous
lines, which you and I used to de
claim, with trembling knees, and
shaking hands, and perspiring fate,
before tho admiring visitors, Friday
afternoons at school, and which run
something like this
"Woodman, spuro that tree!
Touch not a single bough!
It sheltered me, when 1 was young,
And I'll defend it now."
may have understood his business,
but ho couldn't innko good with any
verses like that, nowadays!
Tho very latest theory in tree
trimming, Is to "cut off" tlio bough,
and amputate It near tho trunk. Cen
tral Park, llonesdale, and other
shady nooks, aro suffering from in
competent arboreal surgery. What
wo need in llonesdale Is a "Shade
Tree Commission," composed of
three skilled foresters, who know all
there is to know about trees, and
who, so tho Law says, may bo np
Itolnted by the honorable Town Coun
cil, to take up tho matter, and make
llonesdalo's trees "a thing of beau
ty, and a Joy forever."

"MAKE IT A HOOK!"
Next Tuesday Is St. Valentine's
Day. Instead of sending silly and
inane missives to your sweetheart,
why not send her a book? Hooks,

of you and your thoughtfulucss.
PEOPLE'S FORUM.
"Ilawley's Population, 11,018."
Dear Editor:
In your "Impressions of Hawley"
you stated that It was a city of 1900
inhabitants. Now, Hawley people
aro noted for wanting their things
at full size or a little bigger. The
exact number of Its people Is 2018.

GOD SAVE OUIt TOAVN.
Beyond the sea In cities old,
With time worn walls and moss
grown towers,
Still, as we are by travelers told,
The ancient watchman calls the
hours.
At midnight when the moon rides
high
rtlngs out his voice to tho roofs and
the sky,
"Twelve o'clock twelve o'clock
and all's well.
God save our town."
But scarce his voice had died away,
Ere from the great cathedral down,
'Midst the sculptured saints who pray
alway,
Rings out o'er the sleeping town.
The pealing voice of the mighty bell,
"All's well all's well.
God save our town."
'Mid the sultry heat of the summer
night,
When the houses shake to the
thunder's tread.
And the cross on the spire Is wrapped
in light
By the lurid lightning shed,
Clear 'mid tho voice of the dashing
rain
Tho watchman shouts with might and
main:
"Twelve o'clock twelve o'clock
and all's well.
God save our town." '
And thus throughout the rolling
year,
Whether the sky be foul or fair,
Whether the moon shines brightly
down
O'er the glistening roofs of the peace
ful town.
Through the perfumed summer
air.
Or casts Its dim, lack lustre light
Through the drifting clouds of the
autumn night,
The watchman walks his round.
Waiting the midnight hour to sound
"Twelve o'clock twelve o'clock
and all's well.
God save our town."
And answering from the lofty spire
The voice of the bell comes high and
higher.
Each listening ear and trusting heart
to tell,
"All's well, all's well, all's well,
. God save our town."
From flood, from fire,
From battle's Ire,
From earthquake's harm,
From rage of storm.
From pestilence that walks abroad
And spreads its flight
By noon or night,
God save our town."
From pride that scorns a neighbor
poor
Or drives the beggar from his door,
From misers hoarding up their gold.
From rascals cunning, bright or bold,
Each In their several degrees,
And from the loud-voiced Pharisees,
God save our town."
Noble Prentiss.

Death Of Dr. Helen M. Miller.
ICommunlcatert.
At her home in Cleveland, Ohio,
after weeks of intense suffering on
tho morning of January G, 1911, the
soul of Dr. Helen M. Miller took its
flight. Her body was brought by
her two sisters, Mrs. George Moasa

a former pastor, Rev. H. J. Crane
assisted by Rev. Mr. Schenck and In
terment was made in the Pleasant
Mount cemetery.
Dr. Miller was well known In
Wayne county, where she had lived
and labored a large portion of hor
life. She was born at the Miller
homestead in Mount Pleasant, Jan
uary 20, 1853, where she resided
and attended school during young
womanhood. She afterwards at
tended school at Prompton and Mll
lersville normal and Waynesburg
College. She taught In Honesdale
for a few years. Later she went to
Philadelphia, where she was grad
uated with high honors from the
Woman's Medical college. During
1889 and 1890 she was principal of
the Pleasant Mount Academy. She

When G. W. Pell states that he
has a remedy that only costs 50c
and is guaranteed to cure any man
or woman who suffers from food
fermentation, or money back, what
are the poor stomach sufferers In
Honesdale and vicinity going to do

Food fermentation causes belch

Tho name of this most remark
able stomach prescription is JII-O-NA.
Most people call them MI-O-NA
stomach tablets because they
know that there Is no remedy so
good for indigestion or stomach dis
orders. Here Is one opinion:
"I havo been troubled with Indi
gestion for more than a year. I
bought ono box of MI-O-NA nnd it
cured me. Now I would not be
without a box in tho house for ?5.
It saves a lot of doctor bills when
you can be cured for 50 cents.

THE DESIRABLE GUEST.
Tlio Person Who Can Talk Enter
tainingly Is tlio Best Type Are
You Such An Ono?
The person who can talk entertain-'
ingly is tho best type of guest at so
cial gatherings, for she who chatters
incessantly is almost more undesir
able than one who Is too quiet, for
the latter gives opportunity for oth
er persons to express themselves,
while with the former to say even
ono word is often a struggle.
Tho balance between these ex
tremes is the art of stimulating a
temporary companion to conversa
tion, and at no placo Is it more im
portant to adopt the correct attitude
than at a dinner. More than one
man has been obliged to talk so much
when sitting beside a quiet women
that he has not eaten enough. Such
conduct on tho part of a woman is
decidedly inconsiderate.
At dinners and also at formal
luncheons it is a good idea to watch
the plates of neighbors, and If one
person has been talking so much as
to have fallen behind in the course
It Is tactful to take conversation Into
ono's own hands, giving the other a
chance to listen and at tho same time
to eat.
It Is not good form to monopolize
the attention of one neighbor to such
an extent as to prevent him or her
from talking with tho person on the
other side. Often it is a temptation
when on one side Is an attractive
person and on tho other one who Is
dull, but politeness makes dividing
the attention necessary.
If ono person 13 kept constantly In
conversation by one neighbor at a
dinner It means that he or she on the
other Bide sits much of tho time with
no ono to talk to, for the guest far
ther on is certainly giving some time
to the person on his or her other
side.
