The opportunities afforded in
Honesdale and Wayne county are
many and diversified. There are
several waterpowers developed and
others possible of development.
Within a few miles of Honesdale a
dam is being constructed for the
largest power in this section of the
country and in the State of Pennsyl
vania, that of harnessing the waters
of the Wallen-Paupack river. This
will insure cheap power, which alone
will be an incentive to locate in
Honesdale.

"Stop promiscuous hugging, kissing
nnd flirting on' tho approaches to the
capltol," Is nn order Issued to capitol
policemen.
The new rules on the St Johns nnd
the MacAlester prohibit kissing, em
bracing or squeezing hands. "Break
awny there," is the command given
by the officers on the vessels and at the
capltol when they come upon spooning
couples. If the mnndnte is not obeyed
n brilliant searchlight is turned on the
guilty persons.
For mnny years dark spots about the
approaches to the capltol havo been
used by spooners. It was not unusual
to sec ns many as twenty-flvo couples

Urged "Faster" In His Motor Mission
ary Campaign Why the Anti-suicide
Buroaus Were Founded Could Tell
a Good Story to Make a Point.
The death of General William Booth,
founder and head of the Salvation
Army, removes the grand old man of
tho world. Yet HO Weil luicl Ida wnrfc
bcen done thnt tho army Itself will
uoi lkj appreciably nfTectel by his re
moval. Seldom has one in.in In
own lifetime built up an institution so
numerically strong ln all parts of the
world.
Many anecdotes are told of tho dead
lender to illustrate his many sided
chnrnctor.
In discuBsing tho untl-sulcldo bu
reaus of the army he once said:
"Kindness nnd charity nre factor of
thoo bureaus. The charity will bo of
tho right kind, I trust There aro, you
know, two kinds of charity, und too
much of it Is liko tho barber's.
"There was a poor deacon In War
wick who had no money and neoded
to bo shaved, and he went from barber
to barber, but none of Mi
his holy oflleu, was willing to shnvo
mm lor notiiing.
"In the end. thouch. ho fnmui n hnr.

gruffly:
" 'Sit down there ln that chair.'
"Suddenly the barter's ii

'"Bo still, there! cried th
And ho muttered anxiously, 'What enn
inoy Do doing to hlmr
'Alas,' said tho deacon. 'I nhnnliln't
wonder if some one was shaving him
out of charity.' "
Needed No More Prayers.
On another occasion General Booth
wna talking to a New York reporter.
"Are you saved r he asked suddenly.
The young man flushed, staminonxl
and hesitated.
"Well," said tho general, "do not
despair. There Is a chance oven for
Now York reporters."
Then, discussing nrnrer. General
Booth told a story, a story with a
moral.
"There was a rounit clorirvman nn-
pointed to a small country town," he
began, "nnd a short time nftor his ar
rival a horsy looking man in loggings
stopped him on tho street ono day,
uowcu respectfully and said in a trem
ulous voice:
" 'If you plcaso. sir. would vou mind
next Sabbath offorimr un n hit of n
prayer ror Milly Doan?'
"Tho minister, of course, assontotl
The man, whoso look was worried and
naggaru, took leave gratefully, and on
tho next and tho two following Sim.
unys Mllly Dean was prayed for from
tho pulpit
"Then ono afternoon tho man In loir.
glngs met tho minister ntrain.
Thank you for them nravers. sir.'
he said, 'but you needn't pray no more
ror Miny uoaiL'
"Why, said tho other, shocked, 'la
silo dead T
" 'Dead?' said tho man in lnmrlnirs.
'No; Bile's Just won tho Bltio Itlbbon
handicap by a length and a half.' "
An lnstanco of tho tiro and feverish
anxiety of General Booth to compress
as mucn work ns possible into tho
closing years of his ministry was pro-
vidou on his missions bv motor.
"Faster" was tho -word that Impelled
tho general ever forward, nnd it In in
be feared that ln his anxiety to carry
the messago Into the remote villnces
tunt nre still off tho train track ho did
not always observo tho speed limit
iro rrequentiy exceeded thlrtv miles
an nour.
When his chauffeur was gettlnir all
ho could out of tho engines the cen-
eral's cry was still "Faster!" Tho car
was capablo of thirty-flvo miles nn
hour. That did not satisfy him. no
always wanted to move quicker. Ho
would sit on tho front 'seat bv tho
driver, -whispering every now and
again, "j'-nstcr!"
Precepts For Longevity.
Seven pithy preceptu for the attain
ment of old ago were given by General
Booth In explanation of his surprising
activity and vigor. Ho snld:
"Eat as little as possible. Tho average
man ents too much. Instead of nour
ishing his body ho overtaxes It, com
pelling his stomach to digest more food
than It has enpacity for.
"Drluk plenty of water ln prefer
ence to adulterated concoctions. Wa
ter is whoiesomo nourishment.
Take exorcise. It la Just ns foolish
to develop tho mind and not tho body
as it Is to develop tho body and not
tho mind. Terform some mnnunl la
bor; dig, walk, chop wood or, If you
can talk with your -whole body, why,
men talk, but do It with all your
might
"Abstain from indulgences which
overtax tho body and iujuro not only
ourself, but the generations thntcomo
after you.
"Ilavo a purposo Jn llfo that pre
dominates nbovo nil else; that is bene
ficent to tlioso about you and not to
your own greedy self alone. If thcro
Is ono thing for which I am glad It Is
that I havo found n purposo whicli In
volves not me alone, but all humanity."
