As the result of shaking out a lantern, a farm house in tho vicinity of "Honesdale was burned to the ground one night recently. The farmer gave his lantern a shake, set it on the floo r in tho accustomed place and then with relatives went to town. In a short time neighbors discovered the home to bo in flames and stated that the Are started at the back door, whore the farmer put his lantern. He had done the same thing time and again, but did it once too often. 'Don't turn your wick down into the oil and try to jar the light out, but raise the globe and extinguish the light by a quick puff. Should you, have occasion to turn the wick down turn It up again after the light is out. It will not only be a safeguard and ready for use, but it may save your home and other buildings. You cannot bo too eareful with a lantern. Tho big fire in Chicago, October 8, 1871, was caused by a cow kicking over a lantern in a barn belonging to Patrick O'Leary, which resulted in the loss of valuable property to the amount f S200, 000,000. It was tho most destructive Are ever known, having burned about three and a half square miles, destroyed 17,450 buildings, killing 200 persons and rendering 98,500 homeless. Bo sure tho light is out of your lantern before you leave it for the ight, and under no circumstances attempt to jar it out. THREE CHEERS FOR THE GOVERNOR!

P.Rodgers, who mado a new world's record in his recent trans continental flight in the air, at a ban quet in Pasadena ono night recently, refused a ?500 cup offered by a rep resentative of William R. Hearst. Mr. Rodgers said Mr. Hearst had giv en more valuable prizes to Insignifi cant yacht races, and that his ?50, 000 prize for the aviation flight across tho continent was never made to be won, and that If Mr. Hearst is a truo sportsman let him renew the offer of $50,000 with tho intention that somebody may win tho money. In view of only ono long distance flight, sorao 1.G00 miles, by Atwood, from St. Louis to Now York, and that long distance flights wero only in their Infancy, with little or no chance of success, within tho time limit set, it would have shown a better spirit in Mr. Hearst to have offered Mr. Rodgers a handsome sum, upon the completion of his flight, in view of what he accomplished under tho most trying and dangerous circumstances, as well as attended by big expense. Mr. Hearst is a very rich man, and, having ottered J50.000 for a success ful aviation flight in what appears, under existing conditions in aviation, in an unreasonable time limit, It would have looked much better to have made a creditable money pres ent to Mr. Rodgers, In view of his record, than an Insignificant silver tup of no worth or intrinsic value to the recipient. WHAT ELECTION DID. Bitter local lights marked tho election in Pennsylvania Tuesday. The chief Individual contests were for Mayor and Judge, while in most of the sixty-seven counties tho coun ty tickets wero tho center of the battle. Early returns Indicated that the Republican party was still supremo in Pennsylvania. Some of the coun ties which last year wero carried for the Keystone ticket In tho Guberna torial election were swung back to the Republican column. In a num ber, however, the fusion county tick et, composed of Democrats and Key stoners, was successful. A feature of tho election was tho Increased Prohibition vote In isolat ed counties. Tho eleventh-hour work by the party carried some of the "dry" candidates to victory. Ono surprise was tho result in Northampton county, where tho Re publicans elected most of their can didates. They also carried Easton. A big jump in tho Socialist voto was another feature. This was par ticularly true in Blair, Clinton and Schuylkill counties. W. B. D. Alnoy won easily for Con gress In the Fourteenth Pennsylvania District over Dr. O. H. Rockwell, to Bucceed tho lato G. W. Klpp. All old school boards in Pennsyl vania were ripped out by the school codo and now bodies were elected In all townships, boroughs and cities, Thero wero ilgnts over tho boards in scores of localities. HONESDALE WH s TWO FIRST HONORS The County Seat Captures Prizes In Monday Night's Contest. LARGE AUDIENCE AT HIGH SCHOOL ENJOYS EXCITING ORATORICAL MEET. Honesdale carried off the honors at tho Wayne County High School Lit erary Contest, Monday evening in the auditorium of the County Seat High School, when Miss Mildred Ward and Mortimore Stocker wero awarded first place in tho contest between first grade High schools. Tho auditorium was jammed to tho doors with an enthusiastic crowd who cheered the speakers to the echo. Damascus sent up a dele gation of some thirty students who sang the song of their alma mater, whose words run something like this: "Where the hills of old Damascus Meet the eastern sky Proudly stands our Alma Mater On her hill-top high. CHORUS Flag wo love! Blue and White! Float for aye, D. H. S. o'er thee, May thy sons be leal and loyal To thy memory." And they had a regular old college yell to go with it. Here it Is: " Rah! Rah! D. H. S. Rah! Rah! D. H. S. Rah! Rah! D. H. S. Damascus! Damascus!! Damascus!!! And what was Honesdale doing all tho while? She was singing "Here's to the school that's the best on earth," and waving the school colors on high. 'Say it was great. And all this before the rel show began. Yes, Hawley had a crowd of rooters there, too. Following a musical selection by Freeman's orchestra County Super intendent J. J. Koehler introduced Prof. Harry A. Oday, Ph., B., chair man of the High school contest com mittee, as the chairman of the even ing. Principal Oday announced that the throe Judges wero seated in different parts of the room, and that each Judge would be given an envelope in which ho was to place his decision, and that there would bo no confer ence between tho judges. Admon ishing the audience to do their cheer ing with their hands he introduced the speakers and named the contest ing selections as follows: Contest between Third Grade High Schools. Declamation "Tho Return of Regulus.' First Speaker Harold E, Wildon- stoln, 1'leasant Mount. Second Speaker Lowell H. Cross Sterling. Third Speaker Frederick J Houth, Jr., White Mills. Recitation "Abraham Daven port." First Speaker Miss Lila Hine, L.aKowood men School. Second Speaker Miss Sadie Rock well, Lake Ariel. Third Speaker Miss Esther Gill White Mills.

First Grade High Schools: Boys Mortimore Stocker (2 votes). (First). Spencer C. Noble (1 vote). (Second). Girls Miss Mildred Ward. And it was all over, save tho cheer ing and congratulations. Tho report er was in a Damascus crowd and he asked Prof. Pethlck what was the difference between a declamation and a recitation. "A declamation," ob ligingly answered the professor, "is something of a forenlc character, an oration; a recitation may bo anything of a dramatic nature." So thero you are!
