the colonies were struggling for Independence.

HARRIET BEECIIER STOWE'S CENTENNIAL.
One hundred years ago June 14, 1811, to be exact a child was born
to a prominent clergyman in Litchfield county, Connecticut, who was des
itned to become famous the world over as the author of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" which was probably a greater literary factor In a nation's politics
than any other book ever before published.
The book first appeared in the
the National Era. It was an immediate success and so great was the de
mand for it that it was at once translated into every foreign language.
Fifty years ago its sales had reached the three million copy mark and
it has sold steadily ever since.
The strong contrasts, the fidelity
very pages of the book seemed alive, the. absorbing Interest in the race
problem were responsible for its tremendous success, then, and its appeal
to every human emotion is responsible for its marvelous success now. It
is a 'book that lives and will never die. Probably there is not a person who
has not at some time or other heard of Uncle Tom, Simon Legree, little Eva
and Topsy, characters which have caused more tears and laughter than any
other characters in the world.
It is fitting that the one hundredth anniversary of the author should
be celebrated on the 134th anniversary

WHAT IS THE
Attention was again called last
men and fifteen young women received
annual commencement of the Honesdale High School to the Increasing dis
proportion in the number of male and
institutions of learning.
Not since the year 1875, when
en, completed their course at the county seat's High school, has anything
like an equal number of boys and girls rounded out the prescribed four
years' course.
Tills peculiar state of affairs Is
must face the bread and butter proposition at an age limit that is being
lowered every year.
Woman is a home body. Her
side. Her lot in life Is circumscribed
Man is after all the natural bread -
should woman be forced to earn her daily bread. When all is said woman
Is not a producer but a transformer of utilities. She takes the money her
husband earns in the sweat of his brow, and turns it into board and clothes.
She is a bread-winner notwithstanding, but her sphore should be limited
to the quiet scenes of the home.
One cannot help feeling that the suggestion repeatedly made that a
technical or manual training High school be established in Honesdale si a
good one, and well worth tho attention of our leading citizens and philanthropists.

Special to Tho Citizen.
DREHER, Pa., Juno 15 This lo

rains, accompanied with a wonderful
electrical display and thunder that
shook terra flrraa. The first shower
came early on Sunday morning, about
3 a. m. and with tho bright, sharp
lightning and almost a constant peal
of thunder. It was a very sound
sleeper who was not awakened. The
second shower began to be heard
about 7:30 p, m. on Sunday evening
and was even heavier and louder
than that of the morning and con
tinued raining until early on Mon
day morning. Both showers were ac
companied with some hall, but not of
such quantity as to do any damaire.
The ground Is very wet and farm
work will be held up for Boveral days.
THE SUMMER
BOARDER
Wayne county welcomes the sum
mer boarder to Its vales and hills.
There is no more delightful place to
spend a vacation than in dear old
Wayne. For several years past city
guests have spent from two to ten
weeks In this county and as the
years roll by the numbers Increase.
There is nothing like getting aWay
from the crowded streets, noise and
bustlo and spending a few weeks of
quietude 'neath tho old apple tree,
beside the singing brook or on the
peaceful lakes, of which there are
over a hundred in Wayne county, 72
being natural lakes.
The Citizen is starting this de
partnient for the benefit of the sum
mer boarder and merchant alike,
One wants to go somewhere and the
merchant represents that nlace. On
the other hand the 'merchant wants
to meet the summer boarder, conse
quently their wants are of a recipro
cal nature.
It Is the object of this department
to create new 'business for the mer
chant.
From week to .week The Citizen
will print tho names of city guests
as tney register at the country farm
houses, mentioning the name of the
house and postofflce. The keepers
of 'boarders are requested to send
the names of their guests to The
Citizen and they will be printed free

Robespierre listens. "Room there ye

shriek: "Room there ye dead! Room

Like a voice from the grave that
word startles the convention. Robe,

that voice has palsied his soul. But
the unknown man does not Dause
In short, flery words he heaps up the
crimes of Robespierre. He calls the
dead from their graves to witness his
atrocities.
From that hour, Robespierre the
tyrant was Robespierre the convicted
criminal. Covered with remorse and
dreadful guilt, he rushes from the
Hall. Hark! The report of a pis.

away to the guillotine and ask her,
Ha! Give way there. Paris, give

True, you are probably interested

thing every week that will appeal to

ROY SCOUTS.
Examinations and the various com
mencement celebrations at the High
school have kept the work of the
Boy Scouts behind. Nearly every one
of the four Patrols Is qualified for
the Tenderfoot badge, however, and
preparations will soon be under way
ior seconu ciass scout work.
The boys are waiting rather im
patiently for their suits, which were
ordered some three weeks ago. It is
understood that some three hundred
thousand have joined the movement
in the past four months and the offi
cial outfitters have been unable to
keep up with their orders for suits.
These official uniforms, by tho way,
are of very pleasing- appearance.
They are stamped with the official
seal and equipped with patented but
tons and buckles. The garments are
made from 'Boy Scout olive drab
drill of a superior quality. The suits
can be issued only to boys who have
passed the tests and only on proper
requisition of certiiled Scout Masters
The twenty-one uniforms for
the Boy Scouts of Honesdale arrived
Thursday morning. They were se
cured from the official outfitter at
Red Bank, N. J., through the local
dealer, Irving B. Brown, at a cost
of $5.50 each. Each bov navs fnr
his own suit. No boy is permitted
to wear one of these suits unless
he has passed the tenderfoot tests,
and has a requisition from the scout
master.

THE AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
Wayne county has oft been called
tho Switzerland of America, owing
to its numerous picturesque scenes.
The many bits of simple life, the
pasture, the highway, the lakeshoro,
enchanting brooks and streams,
beautiful waterfalls, patches of for
est and sloping hills and shady vales,
In fact all of these out-door scenes
present a picture that Nature, In all
Its glory, portrays In colors. Science,
however, haB perfected a system
whereby these beautiful scenes can
be preserved. By its perfection we
have the kodak and camera. Lovers
of Nature, who treasure her magni
ficent gardens, have grown Into an
enthusiastic army of amateur photo
graphers. You are lntested In photography
and undoubtedly desire to learn more
about It. That Is the object of this
department. It is to the advantage
of every amateur photographer in
Wayne county to keep in touch with
tho advancements being made In this
line of art. How may you do so?
The Citizen's photographic editor
will explain.
Flourishing amateur clubs should
be organized in each township and
borough in Wayno county. Better
work will be accomplished and
onesdale professional photograph
ers have volunteered to come free
of charge to these districts and give
demonstrations to amateurs, showing
how to develop and fix plates and
films. This is an opportunity which
ought to be seized with alacrity and
is one of the features which tho
Citizen has been successful In ob
taining for amateurs who will or
ganize clubs in the county.
There are enough amateurs in
Wayne county for each township to
have its own society. Meetings
.could be arranged to be held in
Grange halls or the homes of the
different members. If you get the
Citizen in your home, (and if you
don't you should send your subscrip
tion at once for this department's
sake if nothing else) after you have
read this column on photography,
call your amateur photographer
friends together and explain the Cit
izen's plan. Decide upon a date to
organize, write the editor of this de
partment for information, signing
your name and then go ahead.
Annual exhibitions are scheduled
to be held in Honesdale, the first
being In December of this year, .at
which time prizes will be offered for
tho best pictures. Photographers of
national reputation can bo secured
to give addresses and lectures on
that occasion.
Successful country and camera
clubs are conducted in other places
and in these localities art has been
raised to a high standard. Mention
is made of a few clubs of the many
existing in this state and New Jer
sey. Meadville, Pa., Camera Club.
Established 1889. Meet at residences
of members first Friday of each
month. Rutledge Camera Club,

cities. All of these and more, too,
will be furnished free by this de
partment to every amateur photo
graphic society organized in Wayne
county by July 15, 1911. In addi
tion to this The Citizen will furnish
absolutely free to prospective photo
graphic associations organizing be
fore the above mentioned date, a list
of foreign camera clubs. This alone
we believo is an incentive to act at
once. By having the list of foreign
societies It enables the amateur to
exchange with friends across the
ocean, thereby enhancing the value
of your collection of pictures.
Then there is the commercial side
of the proposition. Newspapers,
magazines, weekly publications and
periodicals of all kinds offer prizes,
and good ones, too, for pictures to
illustrate their editions. Leslie's
Weekly and the New York Evening
Mail and hundreds of others have a
standing prize offer.
If you are interested and want to
know how to organize a camera or
kodak club in your township, corres
pond with The Citizen Amateur
Photographer Editor, Honesdale, Pa.,
