FINDS LOST 1'OCKETBOOK,
AND THHHEBY MEETS FAIR
YOUNG LADY.
That "truth Is stranger than no
tion," is shown by this tale of how a
splendid young fellow, who came
from Germany to America less than
a year ago, bringing his "honesty"
with him, found a lost pockotbook,
returned It to the owner, and there
by met a fair young lady. The
Father of the girl related the story
to a CITIZEN man In these words:
Lost!
"My daughter and her cousin came
home from store Saturday night. It
was snowing gently, and the walking
was treacherous. She fell on the

They picked up their bundles and

"On Sunday afternoon in walks a

wasn't Mr. So and So?' He hauls
out of his pocket a portmanteau and
too said 'if I knew this?" 'Yes, it
was my wife's or daughter's.
"Well," he says, "I found this In
front of the house." "That's my

"We called her. So she gave him

Iio must take the money, said my
daughter and get himself cigars. "It
was nothing," he said, "but what he
expected anyone would do for him.
Ho wouldn't keep that money for
tho world" so he wasn't going to
take it. Finally she insisted on it.
Host every young man smokes. He
said he'd take it, but he wouldn't
spend it for cigars, but would buy

"He was very honest. Only eight

DON'T WANT THEIR
CHURCH FUMIGATED
Lutherans of Jonestown Beslsted
AVork Of Health Ofllccr Dr. Dix
on Hud To Iio Appealed To.
Zion Lutheran church at Jones
town, quarantined for diphtheria
lnco February 8, was fumigated last
Thursday by tho Board of Health of
that town aftor a fight that for a
time divided the citizens of the place
and threatened legal complications.
The trouble at Jonestown was car
ried to the State Department of
Health which some days ago notified
tho Jonestown Board of Health to
fumigate the place of worship. For
sentimental reasons the local Board
refused to break into tho church
with their machines, according to
tho Harrisburg Patriot.
Two Itcccnt Cases.
There Is no cpldfmic of diphthe
ria in the town, but recently there
bavo been two cases, following five
cases in January. Ono of tho per
sons now ill with the disease at
tended a service in tho Lutheran
church on February 5 and when the
Board of Health went to fumigate
the building the doors were locked.
Then Itev. H. J. Leinbach, the
president of the board, ordered that
placards bo tacked on all of the
doors of tho church, this being done
on Wednesday of last week. Bev.
Mr. Leinbach Is tho pastor of St
John's Beformcd church, and while
lie fumigated his own church, a feel
ins very much strained arose be
tween tho two congregations.
Tho town took sides and argued
that because Thomas AVInklobleck
nd William Hlnterleltor were 111
with diphtheria was no reason why
tho church should be fumigated as It
liarbored no person that was sick,
Hcnovatcd Last Spring.
"And then, too," remarked ono of
the members of tho Board of Trus
tees of Zion church, "our church
wa3 renovated and thoroughly
cleaned last Spring, and how could
U bo contaminated now."
"That's right," assented other
members of tho congregation and
they found many supporters among
men and women who did not go to
tho church.
Bev. Mr. Leinbach and tho secre
tary, H. C. Bungrove, and tho other
two members of tho Board, H. S,
Gtauffer and II. E. Stoudt, replied to
this argument.

Hundreds of people thronged the
spacious chapel of the First Presby

where the annual Martha Washing
ton supper was hold, to enjoy the
420 pounds of turkey furnished by
Daniel Brown, Lebanon township,
who has had the contract for furn

flavor the far-famed Bhodo Island
fowl. Ho delivered them dressed
this year, receiving compensation for
them at the rate of SG cents a
pound, or total of $147.00.
Mrs. John E. Krantz had charge
of the supper arrangements. Serving
with her on the committee were:
Mrs. E. T. Smith, Mrs. C. M. Betz,
Mrs. Emma Taylor. The table com

Tho church women made all the
flowers themselves, under the direc

posed of Mrs. Harry Bockwell, who
was assisted by Mrs. Carl F. Prosch,
Miss Sutton, Miss Jennie Lee, Miss j
Anna Seaman, and a large crowd of
helpers.
Fancy work was on sale at sever

Mrs. Martin Heft sold "bags." Miss
Mary Mumford and Miss Mary Pen

when matters had reached this
stone wall, the State Department of
Health was notified and Dr. Charles
J. Hunt was sent to Investigate. Ho
conferred with tho Lutheran church
officials and the result was that tho
officials agreed to open the doors to
the Board. This was last week, but
tho officials who held tho keys re
fused to turn them over to the
Board.
Congregation Hesists.
On AVednesday evening a congre
gational meeting of Zion church
was held at tho parsonage of Bev.
George B. Delsher. Thirty-five
members were present and they una
nimously adopted a resolution
against the fumigation of the place
of worship. Knowing of the disin
clination of tho Board of Health to
break into the church, the members
at the meeting gave instructions to
the Church Council not to surrender
the keys. AVllllam Hlnterlelter re
cently appointed health officer, on
AVednesday demanded tho keys but
was Informed that John Desh. tho
president of the Church Council,
would give them up
The Board yesterday decided that
the quarantine cards should remain
In place until the church was fumi
gated. Early In tho morning tho

tables and fish are permitted at the

C Custom has made It lawful to

liquid, such as tea or coffee, or thin
chocolate made with water,
7 Necessity and custom have au
thorized tho use of lard instead of
butter in preparing fish, vegetables,
etc.
8-: The following persons are not
bound to observe the fast: All under
twenty-one years of age, or over six
ty; the sick, pregnant women and
those nursing infants, those obliged
to do hard work, and, in general, all
who, through weakness cannot fast

9 Persons exempt from obliga
tion of fasting are permitted tho use
of meat at any meal on those days
on which its use is granted by dis
pensation. 10 Those who have any reason
able doubt as to their ability to fast
should seek the advice of their pas
tor or confessor.
Dispensation For The Use of
Flesh Meut. 1
1 By indult of the Holy See,
granted August 3, 1887, and subse
quently renewed, the use of flesh
meat during Lent is allowed to all
the faithful at any time on Sunday,
and once a day on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday, except tho
second Saturday and Holy Saturday.
2 By virtue of special faculties
granted us by tho Holy See, March
1C, 189o, for ten years and subse
quently renewed, worlcingmen, to

are a, lowed the use of flesh meat on
all the fast days and days of ab
stinence throughout the year with
tho following exceptions: All Fri
days of the year, Ash Wednesday, the
days of Holy Week, and tho Vigil
of Christmas. Those members of
the household, however, who are not
exempt from the obligation of fast
ing, can avail themselves of the dis
pensation only at the principal meal.
From the abovo dispensations,
therefore, It follows:
1 The faithful In general may
eat flesh meat three times a day on
Sundays, and once a day on Mon
days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays of Lent, excepting tho second
Saturday and Holy Saturday, 'inose
who, for any reason whatsoever, are
not obliged to fast may eat meat
three times a day on the above-mentioned
days.
2 Worklngmen, together with the
members of their households, who
are not obliged to fast, may eat
meat three times a day on all the
days of Lent except Ash Wednes
day, all Fridays, and Wednesday and
Saturday of Holy Week. Those
members of their households, who
are not exempt from the obligation of
fasting, may cat meat on tho same
days, but only once a day.

SCHOOL, LAST SATURDAY IN
TERESTING PROGRAM.
Tho teachers of AVhlte Mills,
Palmyra, Paupack and Hawley held
their Institute at Hawley High
School Saturday, February 18. It
was called to order at 10 o'clock.
After a song, devotional exorcises
were conducted by tho Bev. B. P.
Blpley. A. II. Howell was then
elected chairman. Miss Orrle Bolll
son gave a talk on "Essentials In
Primary Beading." "Every teach
er," sbo said, "should have large
sheets of cardboard, scissors, paper
with lines one inch apart, letters for
word building, large pencils and a
printing set.
Begin the day with music anu
memory gems. Give tour perioas

you hear him read It. See that he
gets the thought.

Tho next period was taken by
Miss Eleanor D. Gill, who spoke on
tho "Seventh and Eighth Grade
Problem."
"Three of the problems: How to
get practical work? How to keep
children in school? What to teach
and how to teach so that pupils may
be ready for high school work and
life? See that pupils apply their
lessons to their every-day life. Be
at homo with pupils and got them to
feel free to ask questions." Others
discussed the subject aftor which
tho Institute adjourned until 2
o'clock.
The afternoon session opened with
a Children's Chorus which was very
good. Then County Superintendent
J. J. Koehler talked on the "Prob
lems of Seventh and Eighth Grades."
"In history get pupils to read books
that have connection with the les
sons. In Arithmetic do not send pu
pils to board to work out a question
they can't do, working without a
purpose wastes time."
Miss Edith N. Freed read a very
well-nrepared paper on, "Vocal mu
sic in the Schools," Which was en
joyed by all. '
"Human voice has no equal in its
productions of music. Everyone may
be taught to sing."
A. II. Howell next read a very in
teresting paper on "Selecting the
President," in which he discussed
from the Federal Government down
to the present day tho manner of
conducting nominations, conven
tions, caucus, and elections.
"Athletics in High School," was
taken up by Chas. E. Martz in a
very able manner. Ho considers the
school a factory where raw material
is brought and that it turns out tho
most important product In the
world. From ten years on is a very
awkward period. Athletics trains
the muscles to work In harmony
thus overcoming this awkwardness.
Athletics aids in developing tho
activity of mind, self-control; prop
er use of leisure time. Interesting
the child thus keeping It in school,
in bringing teacher and pupil into
closer relation, and in giving the
school a name."
The High School girls sang two
very fine selections that pleased
everyone. Then the last period was
taken by C. H. Pennell, "How AVe
May Induce Pupils to Aim at a Col-
lego Education." "Should try to
mako their aim education, not tho
diploma. Too much theory in our
schools; they should be more practi
cal." Institute adjourned promptly at 4
o'clock.

GOOD ROADS IN PA.
ADDRESSES ANNUAL BANQUET
OF GROUP 5 PENNSYLVANIA
STATE RANKERS' ASSOCIA
TION, URGING ISSUE OF BONDS
TO AMOUNT OF $50,000,000.
Harrisburg, Feb. 22. Governor
Tener, in an address delivered to
night at the annual banquet of
Group 5, of the Pennsylvania State
Bankers' Association, spoke empha
tically In favor of a state bond Issue
of $50,000,000 for the construction
of a system of good roads to make
Pennsylvania's highways the best In
tho country.
Tho governor's declaration follow
ed tho lines of his Inaugural and is
significant in view of recent discus
sion of ways of financing the pro
ject embraced In the Sproul good
roads bill. In addition to favoring
this view tho governor said that he
desired to see the bonds sold as need
ed. Governor Tener said:
" As bankers, you will undoubted
ly bo interested In a bill now pend
ing which provides for the planning
and construction of a complete state
wide road system. It is proposed In
this bill that the state create a bond
ed Indebtedness of $50,000,000; tho
proceeds of which are to be used ex
clusively for road building.
"AVhlle It Is very creditable to be
able to say that tho 'state has no In
debtedness, I am sure you will agree
with mo that It Is no proud claim
while our roads remain In the almost
Impassible conditlonof to-day. If wo
apply to road construction and road
improvement only such amounts as
can consistently be spared from the
ordinary revenues of the state for
that purpose, none of us here will
live to see good roads connecting
county seats throughout the state.
"As a business proposition, I am
quite sure you will agree with me,
should authority bo given for the Is
suance of the proposed bonds, It
would not bo wise to negotlato tho
entire Issue and deposit tho money
received from that source In the sev
eral state depositories at a less rate
of Interest than tho bonds draw and
good business practice would sug
gest, and so I would recommend
that only so many of the bonds would
be sold from time to time as would
bo necessary to meet tho annual es
timates of the engineers. Or, if tho
whole issue can be sold to a better
advantage at one time, then tho pur
chasers must agree to a delivery on
this basis. The creation of this debt
would not directly Increase' the taxes
of any individual in the state, and a
sinking fund could bo provided and
tho bonds eventually retired without
working a hardship on any of our
people. Pennsylvania is woefully
