LOOK OUT! FOR PRANKS ON
HALLOWE'EN
Many Things Will bo ns Tlicy Seem
mid You tiro Likely to Oct
"Stung" Take in Your
Gates.
Don't you believe anything you see
or hear or eat or do Thursday night.
The whole blamed country Is going
to be upside down and nothing will
be what it looks like. This decis
ion has been reached after a careful
inspection of what a whole lot of per
sons of an inventive turn of mind
have concocted to fool the public
with on Hallowe'en.
Honest, there are cigars that
ain't. Your best friend Is liable to
pull out a case, take off the cover
and ask you to have one, and as you
reach for It he pushes a button or
something and the cigars disappear
and their places are taken by a lit
tle figure that gives you the laugh.
Beware of tho party with a little
hand camera, who wants to take
your picture, too. The result of that
snapshot will be something scandal
ous. Things have got xo be spooky and
unreal on the last night of October.
Thero's a reason. This celebration
is not modern by a long shot. It
dates back from times when we were
all Pagans. Perhaps Mr. Stonehat
chet observed It. It is possible that
It dates back to the time when our
remote ancestors were polywogs or
germs of some kind. In any event,
whoever started it made a harvest
festival of It. Hence tho reign of
the pumpkin.
Tho Pagans ana tho polywogs and
Mr. Stonohatchet belloved In fairies,
and for that matter, so does every
little girl now, and this last night of
October Is tho time they set to go
abroad and revel and luey are in a
particularly amlablo mood then and
ready to do anything you ask them
to. They always did.
The Druids thought It was too Im
portant a day to let pass unobserv
ed, and they made a big thing of it.
In the ninth century Popo Gregory
swiped It from the Pagans. Ho de
creed that November 1 chould bo
dedicated to observing the memory of
"all hallows" or "all saints," and
selected that day because It Immed
iately followed the Pagan harvest
festival and the fairies had nil gone
to sleep again.
There havo been various ways of
observing tho occasion, but none bet
ter than tho ono wo are used to, of
bobbing for apples, and cracking
nuts, and eating "punkln" pie, and
masking nnd dancing and behaving
just Uko wo were somebody else.
At dinner parties tho hostess Is
quite likely to make you eat by tho
light that shines from grinning
skulls or pumpkins heads, and when
you start to eat do not bo surprised
If a slab or roast beof should turn
out to be, a poached egg or a boiled
tomato can. She will feed you nil
right, but she may havo a llttlo fun
with you first.
Cupid gets In tho game good and
strong. If you are In lovo with a
girl and haven't tho nervo to consult
her about It, Just roast a fow chest
nuts. Put them side by side, ono
representing you and ono her. If
tho chestnuts bohavo and stick to
gether, go right to her and tell her
you lovo her, and buy the ring on tho
way. It will bo all right. But If
tho chestnuts misbehave, and ono
takes a notion to amble off, get an
other girl.

TEMPERANCE OR ROOSEVELT?
Mooting at Court IIou.so Tuesday
1 Evening I)lsnHlntmcnt
Even Progressives Objected.
The best friendB of tho causo of
tompor.ance must concede that tho
meeting held at the Court House on
Tuesday evening, Oct. 29, was any
thing but a success, and tho causo
of temperance has certainly not been
advanced by tho effort which that
meeting was Intended to put forth.
Tho meeting was under the auspices
of tho Local Option or Anti-Saloon
League of Pennsylvania, presided
over by Dr. Brant. Father Curran,
who has long been looked upon ns
one of tho leaders in tho temperance
causo and an advocate of civic right
eousness was selected as tho speaker
of tho evening. Father Curran is
well know In Honesdale and through
out Wayne county for 'his advocacy
of right principles and particularly
In his temperance views.
Rev. John J. O'Toolo of St. John's
Catholic church, was chosen Chair
man of tho meeting, nnd after some
preliminary remarks which were ap
propriate and timely, ho expressed
the iileasuro which It gave him to
introduce Father Curran to a
Honesdale audience. Father Cur
ran referred to his visit to Honesdale
on a previous occasion, when be
spoke on tho question of temper
ance; ho assured his audlcnco that
those who heard his former talk
would not find this as a repetition.
He said times had changed since
then, conditions were different, and
consequently his talk would not be
on tho same lines. Ho outlined
what he considered the elements of
success in a man or woman. Ho
said the study of human nature and
character was absolutely necessary
for thoso who Intended to accom
plish good In the world. He said
the temperance cause through out
this country was advancing with
marvelous strides and that now it
appeared as If the friends of tem
perance would havo matters' their
own way within a comparatively
short time, fifty years at the longest.
He then referred to the present pro
gessive movement throughout the
country to tho breaking away of
party lines in order to advance pro
gressive principles. From this point
his talk was on the lines of the po
litical speech rather than that of
temperance. Whether or not the
Reverend speaker saw any connec
tion or association between the pro
gressive political movement and the
Anti-Saloon League was not known,
but the audience certainly failed to
see any similarity between those
great questions now before the peo
ple. Those who came prepared
to give Father Curran encourage
ment by the presence of a large audi
ence, were apparently not only disap
pointed but displeased to have tho
object of the meeting so disregarded
and a political issue substituted for
that of the subject which they came
to hear discussed. No person denies
the right of the Reverend speaker
to his opinions or his right to ex
press them at any time and place
designated for that purpose and
those who come to hear him are ap
praised of what is in store for them,
but it is extremely indelicate to
havo a largo audience assembled for
the purpose of hearing a discussion
Upon the temperance question to be
entertained with politicnl views an
tagonistic to the Ideas of a large
majority of the people present. Wre
trust Father Curran will como to
our town again to discuss the tem
perance question or we will be wel
come to discuss nny question, but
we trust the people will be inform
ed as to the subject which they are
expected to hear from tho speaker
whose reputation has gone far be
yond the boundaries of the State of
Pennsylvania.

A WILSON PAPER ON VETERANS.
Tho demoralization In California
may bo understood by tho following
from tho Sawolle (Cal.) Sentinel of
June 19, 1912, In reply to an article
In another papor commending tho
veterans:
" 'Those who gavo tho best of
their young lives.' What abominable
rot! Tho majority of you old rats
(paupers) ought to bo abolished.
Too much booze Is what alls you.
The Idea of a lot of children standing
'shoulder to shoulder' Is absurd. For
goodness sake, keep out of print.
I have visited Home and heard tho
senile drivel of Its Inmates, the ma
jority of whom never smelt powder
except In a firecracker. A true sol- (
dlor would scorn to tako the hard-,
earned money of tho widow, the
fatherless and the orphans of his'
country ns you old soaks have done '
for years.
"Los Angeles Is full of so-callod
old soldiers, babbling about Imagin
ary battles fought in their sleep or
whllo under the Influence of booze.
There Is no other country under tho 1
heavens that Is Infested with such
a gang of parasites as the G. A. R.
The true G. A. R. died on tho bat
tlefield, and President Abraham Lin
coln was tho hero of tho war and of
tho country."
