Tho choice of N. 13. Bryan for United States Sen ator from Florida shows that there's nothing really unlucky about tho name Itself. 00 0 A woman In Wakefield, Mass., has had lier twenti eth child. Some paragrapher will be sure to call her a twentieth century mother. 0 0 0 A New York judge paroled a burglar in the cus tody of, a playwright In order that the latter might study criminals. To such lengths doth realism go In New York. 0 0 0 One man had his ear cut off so that Black Hand era might know him next time. Wonder If he'll know tho Black Handers? 0 0 0 Thirteen members of the Dam family arrived in New York Tuesday on the Ryndam from Rotterdam. Curses! What a crowd! 0 0 0 A bill has been introduced Into Congress provid ing for the coinage of a 2 cent piece. What a boon to the bargain hunters. 0 0 o The two persons who win The Citizen's medals in the Smile club campaign will come pretty near being the most popular two in Wayne county. 0 0 o D. K. Pearson says that if a young man wishes to make a good start on tho road to wealth and fortune he should begin by marrying. Presumably the noted philanthropist thinks that a gootrstart makes a quick finish. 0 0 0 There are three Representatives now in Congress who liveat the Y. M. C. A. building. .They are Joseph Howell. Utah; George ,Norris, Nebraska, and John Watkins, Louisiana. . 0 0 0 Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon church, with forty-three children to his credit or discredit, whichever you like, says It .is impossible to detect po lygamy. ' He must think we are story book detectives. 0 0 0 Father Bernard Vaughan, tho noted Jesuit, in a sermon referred in strong terms to the work of the Mormon missionaries in England In sending women and young girls to tho colonies of that sect in Utah and oth er American States. Among other things Father Vaughan said: "Fancy a country like this calling itself Christian and tolerating those Mormons! They should be taken by the scruff of the neck, rushed across our island and dropped into tho sea." Tho reverend father must think that Mormons aro a good deal like kittens. 0 0 o CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES. Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer, representative In Congress from Stroudsburg, as the head of a committee to ln yestigate expenses, has used his knife to such good effect that $182,080 has been chopped off the exponses of the House alone. For Instance of tho expenses of the service under the speaker, ?2,320 has been cut way: Under clerk, $39,970; under sergeant-at-arms, $47,050; under doorkeeper, $31,340; by abolishing ex tra months pay, $50,000; through abolishing six com mittees, $12,000, making a grand total of $182, C80. According to the report, tho committee found that the 13-year-old daughter of Chief Doorkeeper Lyons was on tho pay roll as "clerk to the doorkeeper" at a salary of $1,200 a year and getting an extra month's pay each year thrown In, we suppose, for good meas ure. We should like the committee to request Mr. Lyons to toll us just how much help a clerk would be to a doorkeeper. Evidently no explanation was forth coming to the committee, so on its recommendation this position will bo abolished. "During tho Spanish-American war," writes Chair 'nian Palmer In his report, "Somebody's friends told somebody's cousin that somebody's aunt had heard someone say that a plot was on foot to dynamite the eapltol. Thirty-eight extra policemen wero added. They have remained' ever since." Waiting, wo sup pose, for that heinous plot to bo put Into execution. For their patience and bravery in facing such a terrible danger the stalwart thirty-eight received $39,000 a year. But, at. that, they were a trifle more useful than a. doorkeeper's clerk. Then thore were the two telegraph operators who have drawn $1400 apleco. for more years than can be romemhercd. It seems that many years before the tele phone was Invented a private telegraph line was estab lished between tho War' Department and the House wing of the Capitol. Two operators were provided for this wire. Then the telephone came along and of course no body used the telegraph any longer. But did the oper ators say anything about It to anybody? Not on your life. They simply drew their salary and blessed the genius who Invented the telephone and thereby saved them any work at all excopt the cashing of their monthly government checks. And so on with Innumerable instances such as in 1895 tho clerk's document room of tho House with an annual payroll of $6,260 was abolished but somehow or other said abolishment .didn't stop the pay checks. The days of doing nothing and getting paid for it will soon be no more. The Palmer committee has tak b tho first step and we hope the good work will continue. A Jersey man says his state will lend Gov. Wilson ! to tho nation, We wonder what tho discount on tho loan would be. 0 0 0 A New York lunatic has received a year's parolo , to go abroad. His name is Jeremiah Goggin. No won-1 der he's crazy. i 0 0 0 "Germany sends 29,000 feathers a year to Eng land for millinery purposes," says the Truth. We had an Idea they were for tickling persons who rend Punch. 0 0 0 1 When Carter Harrison becomes President and W. R. Hearst Vice-President of the United States we shall expect to see Hlnky Dink appointed Secretary of State. Phlla. Inquirer. Yes, and Bathhouse John Ambas sador to England." i 0 0 0 . - HYDROPHOBIA. j The approach of warm weather and tho recent i deaths of two victims Is suillcient to cause us to publish j as a warning a short editorial reprinted from tho New j York American. Read it carefully because there is a I lesson to be learned and a warning to be heeded: Tho death from hydrophobia of Abraham Nahon ought to serve as a warning to every, family owning a dog. Nahon allowed his pet to lick his hands. That was more than four months ago. Later the anlmnl grew ugly; it was killed and found to have rabies. Too lato Nahon took treatment. The lesson is plain. Thousands of men, women and children who would shrink In terror from a rattlesnake think nothing of letting .dogs lick their hands and faces. Every time they do so they invite the most horrible form of death known, for tho dog does not have to froth at the mouth to be mad. It may have the germ of rabies and de velop the disease later, yet If its tongue, touches the slightest abrasion there is small hope for the victim. It may be months after tho person who has caressed the anim.il has forgotten the incident that he Is seized with the terrible contraction of tho throat muscles that precedes a vain struggle for life. The habit of allowing dogs to lick hands and faces is a plain invitation to suffering, physical and mental, the like of which even the Inquisition could not parallel. Infinitely preferable Is the bite of a mad dog, for then tho afflicted person can take the Pasteur treatment in time to save himself. A dog's place in anywhere but in a woman's lap, In a nursery or In a house. It is safe to say thnt If all the world could witness tho death agonies of a rabies victim steps would be taken at once to stamp out hydrophobia, dogs would be relegated to the stable and the kennel. 0 0 0 TURKIC ARTICLES IX THE APRIL SURVEY. In every city the cry of regret for the mistakes of the past is heard. But what of a city built on the hills a city of sunshine and sea-given breezes, swept clean by lire, to be built anew in this Twentieth Cen tury? Surely tho builders would grasp their, un rivalled opportunity. What is San Francisco's reply a city of small homes, a city of gardens? No. A city of tenements. Looking back to April 17, 190G, one sees whole districts covered with small houses, vine clad, fragrant with flowers. On April 1 8, the lire swept the city, and before a month had passed the builders were at work. Fastthey built. Shelter was needed,, expediency and desire for gain were paramount, and the smoking ruins were covered with poorly con structed buildings, sev eral families crowding into a space adequate for one. In less than a year thoughful men and women realized that San Francisco was face to faco with a housing problem and that no law existed to check the increasing abuses. In spite of municipal indiffer ence and corruption a tenement houso ordinance based on the New York law was passed in 1907. The New York reformers obtained all that Was possible for their great city, where land values are so high and vested interests so entrenched, but the meager allowances for light and air conceded for the crowded metropolis should not have been tho model for tho small city accustomed to wide spaces and generous gardens. Yet even these limited restrictions were soon evaded, and the ordinance was fiercely opposed by speculative bulldors and property holders. Inflated land values based on tho earning capacity of a small lot covered by a three-family building in place of the former cottage have induced much of the rnpld rebuilding of San Francisco. For not alone in the poorer districts, but in every quarter of the city, apart ment houses, Hats, multiple buildings of every type have superseded the single family home. There is a significant relation In the Pennsyl vania bltiminous coal field between efficiency of em ployes nnd tho consumption of intoxicants. Tho use ot alcoholic liquors among recent immigrants is very extensive and the per capita consumption of beer, ac cording to the statements of some mining superintend ents, runs as high as two quarts a day each, besides some whiskey. In the average mining community beer and whis key agents are constantly soliciting orders. The southern and eastern Europeans are accustomed to drinking beer and light wines abroad, but in the min ing industry they tend more and more to drink whis key to excess. This is duo to two causes. Thoy "treat" according to the American custom and they have no decent amusements to patronize or any chance to acquire property, and as a consequence there is a disposition to spend freely in this way. Not only is it impossible to recruit the normal labor forces after pay day, but in addition to curtail ment of output tho companies sustain loss because of careless mining, increased number of accidents, and breakage of tools and equipment. What's the matter with Springfield? From the standpoint of sanitation scarcely one among the 51, 000 people in the capital city of Illinois knew. The question itself had not been seriously raised. But one day a plain map of tho city big enough to show some of the things in everybody's backyard jolted tho com munity Into a realization of the Importance of the ques tion nnd at the same time furnished the ugly, unvar nished truth of tho answer. "Springfield has conditions probably not unlike those to be found In many mlddlo western cities which have not yet thought to ask or answer tho question, "If they really undertook to 'know themselves' thoy might get just as startling information as came to Springfield whon her citizens were amazed at the disclosures that 6,000 out of the 9,000 houses in the city did not use city water and sewers, that 5,000 homes directly on sewer and water mains did not utilize them, that there were over 6,000 privy vaults and more wells in the city. That is, the municipal expenditure of $4,000,000 for sewer facilities and water supply served only thirty three per cent, of the population, although it had been thought that from sixty to seventy-five per cent, were served." STUDY OF AIR CURRENTS. Tides In the Atmosphere Similar to Those on the Sea. Until men began to navigate tho nlr and study Its currents and move fonts little attention was paid to the omlitions of the upper atmosphere, ml such matters as atmospheric tides :ul top currents completely encircling "o earth wore at seemingly little In- est. Since men have down, and especial t slnco men have flown and fallen, e have heard a great deal in a vaguo way of air currents. Recently Law rence Hodges in a paper before an Kngllsh scientific body gave some unique facts about air tides which aro not generally known. The moon, we know, causes tho mnrino tides by its attraction. It draws the water on the surface of bn earth toward it in a hump on the o that It exposed to the lunnr In- luenco, and draws the earth itself away from the water on the opposlto 'tide, leaving a corresponding hump of water. Tho air, It seems, is affected in tho same way. The layer of atmosphere 'ibout the earth rises, falls and flows more freely than water, because It la lighter, so the tide comes more quick ly in the air at a given spot than the marine tide. Tho air, it seems, is affected In the same way. The layer of atmosphere about the earth rises, falls and flows more freely than water, bfceauso it is lighter, so the tide comes more quick ly in the air at a given spot than the marine tide. This rise and fall, however, means Just as much to the navigator of the air as the tide In the. sea docs to the sailor, and has to be accounted for. The most remarkable current, how ever. Is one constant stream In the at mosphere running from west to east completely around the earth in the upper atmosphere. This was first brought to public at tention when the volcano Krakatao blew a cubic mile of matter Into the upper atmosphere in the '80s. The lighter particles were seen to make a complete circuit of the earth seven times in this clrcumglobular current before they finally disappeared. Chi cago Tribune. - PEOPLE'S FORUM 5- ltcflcctioits On That Dollar. Stopped Train to Recover Poodle. Mrs. Richard Buckles of Taylor ville, III., caused a passenger train on the Bluff Line to be stopped be tween Alton and St. Louis whilo she ?ot olf to search for a pet French poodle dog which she had intrusted to the baggage man and which es caped through the open car door. Mrs. Ruckles was going to McClusky, 111., to visit and had put the dog in the baggage car. While the baggage man had the door open the dog leaped out and the baggage man went back to notify Mrs. Buckles of tho loss. Mrs. Buckles Insisted that the conduc tor stop the train while she got off. She found the poodle, only slightly injured. She then drove to Alton, where she waited for another train. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Wedding Cake Pagoda. At Mingun, on the right bank of tho Irrawaddy River, about live miles from Mandalay, in Burma, there stands a peculiar pagoda known as the Wedding Cake Pagoda because it looks like a marvellously magnified bridal cake. It was built in the early part of tho nineteenth century and is In thoroughly good preservation, only a few of tho images Inside having been broken. The extreme height to tho top of the minaret is eighty feet and tho circumference about COO feet. The pagoda stands back from tiie liv er some 300 feet and is hidden fiom it by a grove of teak trees. Close to It is the famous Mingun bell. Ide World. Old War Shell Exploded. The explosion of an old war time shell filled with powder almost caused the death of Ernest Pattorson and his young wife at Dundee, a small coun try hamlet near here. The shell had lain In an unfrequented spot for years and was found by Patterso'n while ho was hunting. The explosion followed his attempt to pry It open with a hatchet The concussion knocked the couple several feet, causing dangerous injuries. Two of Patterson's fingers were torn off and his wife's faco was mangled. Central City AraiR. Wo Aim To Please.

Having become one of a band of volunteers to earn a dollar during April, to apply on a fund for painting our church (at a time when 1 had entered upon the intricacies of house cleaning), I began to cast about In my mind for a means to fulfill my promise. MoBt of us are housewives who do our earning in tho way pecu liar to our profession, receiving our salaries in board, clothing and In cidentals. N. B. The last para graph is in no wlso intended for your kick column, and since you are a bachelor, I do you a kindness to ox plain. We are house wives of the old school. The 20th century new woman has demonstrated her ability to be self-supporting and have an Independent bank account, so she seeks promotion in accepting any new position. (You may have been too busy to notice It). But I di gress. Picking up Tho Citizen, I read the terms of your "Kick Kon test," and recalled that I early learn ed "A little nonsenso now and then is relished by the best of men." So tho happy thought possessed me that I was eligible to enter tho contest, and I Immediately hazarded a two cent stamp in the investment or spec ulation, and tho returns far exceed ed my expectations. My delight knew no bounds, but like a prudent housewife I continued my work In stead of going out to buy an auto mobile. Truth to tell, up to this point I had taken no time whatever to reflect on the matter. Soon after the papers were distributed at the postofllce, the treasurer of our so ciety called on me, apparently to congratulate me on earning my dol lar, and in the next breath expressed an A No. 1 kick, saying: "I kick be cause you got your dollar so easy while I have spent three forenoons baking to earn mlno, which is an other demonstration of brain vs. muscle. Again I congratulate you." Soon after this, a relative dropped in and I was prepared to receive his congratulations, which did not ma terialize. Ho referred to having seen The Citizen, and by some remark cas ually made before leaving, brought me to infer my acting upon the im pulse of the moment lacked dignity, and then I began to reflect. Why had the treasurer followed up my dollar even before it arrived? Did she fear 1 might buy an Easter hat? Then a committee notified me an Experience social was called for May 2 when I would be expected to tell how I earned my dollar, and pass It over to the treasurer. Why was I so pursued? Why did I not reflect first? But I had given my promise to earn a dollar. "1 could not dig, to beg I was ashamed," and here was an innocent opportunity which 1 Had eagerly grasped. But why should I not have tried to earn it? especially as 1 needed it (and got it). It seemed one of those rare cases where "the end justified the means," Tho cause' was a worthy one, humility, a good exercise, economics good for business. Had not Hawley money been llowing up stream for years? Why should not one Honesdale $ come to Hawley? One genuine Honesdale dollar, and I did it. That new Honesdale $. That crisp Honesdalo $. That bright Honesdalo $. From which I soon must part. If everybody did not insist on set' ting that dollar Into circulation I should frame It. I think our treasurer's kick should bo entered in the contest, nnd it should bo a winner. She is a good business woman, as Is demonstrated by her prompt call on me, which I did not then realize as a call In her olllclal capacity. However, she would swoon to see her name in print, she Is so timid; so please send her dollar in my care and 1 promise to see it deposited with mine May second, be fore a multitude of witnesses, and watch it till it gets to the painter's pocket. Please notify me if it gets back to Honesdale before tho Kick Kontest kloses, and I'll try a new bait. P. J. T. T. EDITOR'S CORNER We get a hi Of fun out of tht column. We want you to enjoy it alto.
