FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1012.
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
It's the songs you sing and tho
smiles you wear that makes tho
sunshtno everywhere.
The Citizen has often called at
tention to the valuo of patronizing
home merchants, many of whom ad
vertise In this paper. No better
bargains can bo had than those
found in Honcsdalo stores. The
Christmas season Is drawing near
and It is time to begin your Christ
mas shopping. Do it early this year.
CHARACTER.
Character is the quality that keeps
us always ourselves. It stands near
est to tho innermost part of us that
each calls "myself"; sometimes it Is
even hard to distinguish tho two.
But I like to keep Character In my
body-guard. Character stands firm
under every trial, if wo give it the
chance to do so. It says to all the
enomies temptation, discourage
ment, bad luck, the blues and hosts
of others " You may defeat .the
rest of tho army, but you dare not
come near the general." Character
is the quality that always reminds
me that I am myself. It stands just
next to myself and goes on repeat
ing, "Be yourself! Don't forget who
you are; don't act below yourself."
Wherever It began, Character is tho
first in our body-guard. He will
never desert. A boy or girl who
has character, who keeps character
strong and alive, can never truly be
defeated.
WISE ADVERTISING.
The editor of the Rural New
Yorker, a farm paper of national
circulation, who also owns and
manages a largo farm, has this to
say as to wise advertising:
"A farmer In a small Illinois town
with about 75 barrels of apples want
ed to advertise in the Rural New
Yorker. It probably would not have
paid him to do so. The cost of ship
ping would have made them too
high for private sale. I advised him
to advertise in the local papers. It
is often surprising to see how many
wants can bo supplied in this way.
Wealways go to the local papers
with such wants. Not long ago a
guest lost a small bag out of the
wagon In tho dark. Wo advertised
in a local paper and in a few hours
after it was printed a man brought
the bag. I was once In a local pa
per's office When a woman came in
crying to say that she had lost her
canary bird. I was young and hope
ful then, and told her to advertise,
though finding a bird in several
thousand acres of air seemed fool
ish. The woman actually advertised
and actually got tho bird back. It
flew Into a tree some three blocks
away and a boy caught it. Wo sell
apples, potatoes, eggs anything
by advertising. A blackboard In
front of tho farm will prove a great
help, but a small noto in the local
paper "will surely make sales. It will
also help the paper and help farm
ing. The average newspaper man
wants to please his advertisers.
That is often why tho local papers
advocate things that are a positive
injury to farmers. Let theso same
farmers also become advertisers and
they will get a much better showing
In the paper. When we get parcels
post theso local papers will, if they
are sharp, make much of this feat
ure. If any farmer has a lot of good
produce which ho can guarantee, my
advlco would bo to try an adver
tisement In tho local paper. Keep
it right up. Do not try it once and
then quit. You must hang on and
get acquainted with tho people."
cret what ho was going to do. Also
thoro Is a small army of youngsters
carrying around air guns which aro
efficacious in destroying eyo sight,
and a great many pcoplo aro given
the shudders daily as they 'pass those
playful youngsters. Of course, every
father thinks his boy is so careful
and capable that it is perfectly safo
for him to carry a gun about the
streets and pepper away at sparrows
notwithstanding that if a grown man
should do tho same with his shot
gun he -would bo considered a luna
tic. In Wllkes-Barro recently a boy
of fourteen turned loose his flobert
and a companion was shot right
through tho centre of the heart show
ing how accurate tho young marks
men aro and how deadly aro the
guns they are given as toys.
The boys do not know any better,
They never read of the great number
of deaths that result from this cause
but the parents do and in some way
they should be punished for their
criminality for it is nothing less
than a crime to give a boy a gun
of any kind.
Tho police should deem it their
duty to confiscate every flobert or
other kind of gun in the possession
of boys on tho street. They aro en
tlrely within their rights in doin"g so
just as they would arrest any one
for flourishing a revolver. Further
moro the legislatures all over the
land should prohibit the sale of these
weapons. It also seems that It is
just as reprehensible for the dealer
to sell a boy a gun as It Is for a
parent to give him one. How many
moro lives are to bo sacrificed be
fore tho authorities will take drastic
action in tho matter?
DON'T GIVE THE HOY A GUN.
This Is tho tlmo of year when tho
fond dad is thinking that ho would
llko to give his little Willio a nlco
flobert rifle for a Christmas present.
Ho remembers that 1n every boy's
heart at a certain ago Is that con
etnnt wish for a weapon of destruc
tlon. Already this Inclination Is be
ginning to bo noticeable in tho num
ber of mon who aro seen In sporting
goods stores looking over tho lethal
weapons, and now and then some
kid on tho. etrcet can be seen with
ono wblch has been given to kirn bo
causo his father could not keep so-
