Did you hear Jenkins' boy band at the Lyric last Tuesday night? Well, if you didn't, you missed ono of tho finest treats of your life. And say, tho Lyric theatre was Jammed full to the doors and some were com pelled to stand throughout the en tire performance, which consisted of moving pictures and the rendition of music by the band, but they didn't mind that as long as they heard Jenkins' boy band. It was great. Twenty young men, and all under 17 years of age, played like "old timers." Tho music filled Lyric theatre and the boys were heartily applauded. Some of tho boys never played musical Instruments .until their first practice four months ago, and then they thought they would never learn to play because the horn "tickled their Hps." Others put the mouthpiece right In their mouths, but by persistent effort on the part of the boys under tho personal super vision of Robert M. Dorln, Jenkins' band has taken the town by storm. Feeling tho need of a deeper In terest of music In Honesdale prompted F. A. Jenkins to organ ize the boys hand, which is not only appreciated by the townspeople 'but retlects great credit upon tho organ izer and owner of tho hand. The band Is composed of tho fol lowing young men. Tho list also designates what instrument each player manipulates: Cornets Raymond Faatz, Carl Wagner, Mortimor Stocker, Harland Jackson, William Gager. Plccalo Raymond Short. 'Baritone Robert L. Dorln. E. Bass William Miller, Edward Loine. B Bass Robert Reiflor. Clarinet Harold Mullaney, John Hawker. Trombone Charles Kreltner, Clar ence Mundy, Edward Stegner. Alto William Kelz, Vernard Mc Ardle. Snare Drum Albert Theobald. Uass Drum Vincent Carroll. Cymbals Lawrence 'Weldnor. The boys havo been engaged for Memorial Day, at which time It is ex pected they will bo uniformed. The band should bo patronized whenever possible, for next to a baseball team a good band Is the 'best advertise ment for a town. Dies of Paralysis.

'Every young married man or woman who earns $20 a week or moro should adopt a baby. If ho or sho earns $40 a week, two "babies should bo adopted," said Dr. Llnd- soy Wynokoop, of Chicago, In speak ing at tho National Congress of Mothers, in session hero last week. "Taking caro ot a child Is not a burden," continued Dr. Wynekoop, aa sho explained to tho delegates that although eho had throe of her own, sho had adopted a girl. "It does more to, build up the charactor of a man than anything else. It makes him responsible for a "human "being and it probably will save a life." THE "BELL" HOME WELCOMES PUBLIC Every Day is Visitors' Day nt the Bell Telephone Home A Trip Through Offices Is Afforded hy .Management. You may ho as grouchy and dls agreoahlo as you please to tho tele phone operator who answers your call with a mild " Number pleaso," but you will always, nevertheless, be treated with unfailing courtesy In return. After tho operator has re turned a pleasant voice over the wire In exchange for your growl, you will soon, with a little reflection, como to recognize tho groat truth that, ''a soft answer turneth away wrath." And again If you would take tho time to visit tho hono of tho Boll Telephone company you would soon decldo that If you wero tho operator you would bo tho grouchlest, tho most disagreeable person In tho world. Confronted with a switch board with flashing lights, plugs, wires, and calls, tho telephone oper ator retains her equanimity while you on tho outside aro yelling at her ovor tho wire to hurry up and at tho samo time muttering things under your breath. Taking into considera tion the numerous and various de tails of the telephone operator's daily routine, the subscriber should feel inclined to facilitate her work all ho can. Ono thing ho can do, that many fail to do, is to call by number. If you don't know tho number look It up In tho telephone directory and If It Is not listed there, then tho operator will bo glad to glvo It to you. Be considerate of the operator as she Is always con siderate of you. Don't think she has all the time In tho world, but rather, as the fact Is, the busiest person In the borough. Tho popular conception of a telephone exchange Is, a place where two girls pass away their time eating candy and reading magazines. Last Thursday we had tho pleas ure to be conducted through tho lo cal exchange 'by Mr. Dellmore, and although we did not grasp all or the technical details of tho complicated workings or the system, wo gained a complete knowledge of the Inside workings of the exchange, which will help us to be moro appreciative of the good service hereafter. V. ;A. Dellmore, tho local agent for tho Bell, has been permitting the general public io get a glimpse into the workings of tho local ofrice. Every day Is visitors' day and "business men and others desiring to go through on an inspection tour will bo conducted by Mr. Dellmore, and they will have tho pleasure of see ing tho operators at their work be side having tho various details or tho system explained to them. It Is worth the time ot tho busiest man to visit this institution where business hums all tho time. Between the hours ot 9 and 10 o'clock In the morning and 7 and 8 at night, the operators have all they can do and perhaps more, and through It all they never once attempt any 'back talk to a subscriber who kicks because he has been waiting at least thirty seconds for an answer to his call. To go through this Institution, to see the operators at work, to have tho workings explained to you, the toll lines, the rural lines, the town lines, and to see at tho switchboard a demure young lady answering the calls of hundreds of subscribers, then It Is that you wonder why she don't get all mixed up. This is the best euro in tho world for that In clination to growl over tho telephone and be Impatient If she does not connect you with your party within less than no time at all. (District Manager E. T. Simons, lo cal manager T. A. Garvey, and local agent W. A. Dellmore, are "building up a system of working conditions for operators that will not only clinch courtesy as tho motto of the ofllco, !but will gradually teach the people of Honesdale that there Is nothing quite like It, next to sun shine. Tho lines of the Boll reach to nearly all parts of tho county, he sldo giving freo service to Hawley and White Mills. Honesdale and the rural routes havo about G50 Bell telephones.

Such is the Indicated result at the direct primary election held Tuesday for tho choice of delegates to tho Republican na tional convention. Early returns pointed to a complete rout of the crstwhllo "Rough Rider" In every district where there was a contest. Republican organization leaders declared that they would control 83 of the 90 delegates to tho conven tion. Stormy scenes marked tho clectlo and stormier scenes still will mark tho fight to havo it declared illegal. Failure on tho part of tho printer to finish the huge ballot on time depriv ed at least a third of tho enrolled voters who desired to register tholr preference In the Important contest of tho privilege of voting. In scores or districts the ballots did not arrive until soven o'clock, three hours aftor the time fixed by law for tho opening or tho polls, and in many they did not arrlvo at all and hundreds of persons who wero eager to take part In tho election growled and swore at tho new primary law and the exactions it mado In tho way or primary ballots. Roosevelt men, scenting dereat. first declared the Taft forces wer preparing to " steal " tho election. Before leaving tho city for his. west ern trip Mr. Roosevelt said tho elec tion was a "wicked farce." "When tho returns were In in suffi cient number to show a complete col lapse of tho Roosevelt movement, they asserted that the primary wa an Insult, and added that it wa such a "howling" farco that Got. Dix should call a special session of tho Legislature to flx a date for an other primary. Returns from the Twenty-sixtk Congressional district, where there was a contest, indicate a victory for tho Republican organization candi dates to the Chicago convention hy o voto of four to one. Former Gover nor Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., is elected member of the Republican State Committee over Hamilton Fish, Jr. Tho first primary returns received at Republican county headquarters gave the organization candidates 111 votes to 26 for the Roosovclt dele gates.

She contracted a cold a week ago and It had a firmer grip on her system than was at first realized and developed into pneumonia; her heart being weakoned, there was little hope to build on nnd she passed peacefully away at eight o'clock Thursday morning at the homo ot her daughter, Mrs. John Smith.
