P. Dennis, of Damascus town ship, was in Honesdale on Wednes day of this week shaking hands with his many friends. Mr. Dennis is a prosperous farmer, and no ono who saw him for the first time would over suspect that ho Is seventy years old, he looks so much younger than that. He raises fine apples on his farm, and has produced specimens of the Wolf River variety that measured a trifle more than fourteen inches in clrcumforence, and that is some ap ple, even if it is grown right hero in the best apple section of the world. Mr. Dennis has a very vivid recollection of tho big snow storm of 1867. He lived at that time on the Blandin flats, up where the T. B. Clark glass cutting shop Is now lo cated. It began to snow on April 19th and continued to snow on that and the following day until "the beautiful" measured three feet in depth. That was tho year following the election of James Buchanan, tho only President of the United States Pennsylvania has ever furnished. Mr. Dennis recalled the election be cause he is a Democrat, and quite naturally keeps tab on such infre quent events as the election of Dem ocratic Presidents of the United States. The writer of this remem bers the Buchanan election also. Ho was about three and a-half years old at tho time, and there was a big Democratic mass meeting in Hones dale. Teams carried loads of people into town from all parts of the coun ty. There were flags, music, excited men, cheering, and a big ox roast on Honesdale's public square. As tho Salem teams drove past our house the writer was perched on a chair with a flag In his hands, and, under instructions he cheered for Buchan an. The only regrettable Incident is this: Some big-hearted man from Sa lem wanted ,the lad to go out to the fence, shake hands and get a new sil ver quarter of a dollar, but the lad was afraid that man had evil de signs on him wanted to put him in the big wagon and carry him off, or something, and he wouldn't go out to the fence. And In that way he miss ed the quarter, and has always re gretted ij;. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis expect to start for Boulder, Colorado, about tho 1st of May to make quite an ex tended visit. They will stop off at Buffalo, where they will visit friends. The Citizen is glad to join tho hosts of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis in wishes for a safe trip, to and from Colorado, and a most en joyable visit with their friends out in the land of Rocky Ford melons, tho land also that produced the ex pression, "Pike's Peak, or bust!" There Is an old and trite saying that seems to be based on truth. This is It: "Good things come slow." Tho writer hereof believes tho say ing is true, anyway, for none of the "good things" ever came to him on the wings of the morning, or were handed out to him on a courier mounted on a fleet-footed sTeed. This saying may as well ho passed over to the new patriotic organization, thb Daughters of the American' Rev olution, a Chapter of which has re cently been started in Honesdale. We do hope that the public will stand back of the Daughters and lend them every assistance possible.. Theirs is a splendid work, and it is too bad that years ago more effort was not made along tho lines tho Daughters will pursue. It will not be long ere the last person who ever saw one who lived in Revolutionary days will have died. Historical re search quite largely ends with the grave. Wayne county had a part in the Revolutionary war. Veterans of the great war for Independence liv ed on our hills and in our valleys. Their bodies were committed to tho dust in our cemeteries. Surely tho Daughters have a patriotic work, a useful work and a work of love be fore them. Their research will bring to light much that is of interest to Wayne Counteans; and what is thus uncovered will be preserved for the generations that are yet to come, who will appreciate this work which, although slow in coming, will, un doubtedly, be rich in results. This paper will be only too glad to open its columns to exploit tho work of the Honesdale Chapter of the Daugh ters of tho American Revolution. It is with much regret f that tho writer learns of the quite serious illness of W. L. Ferguson, who, at the ripe age of 94 has been so active in both mind and body. Mr. Fer guson has done much good work In this his native county. Especially it is to be hoped that his illness will speedily pass away as tho warm days of garden planting draw on. It would seem that the whole nation is waking up on tho corn question. Wayne County is getting awake, too, and along the lino of corn Mr. For guson has been in advance of his day and generation, for his experiments have been remarkable in their re sults. First he began developing a many-rowed corn, but when the cob got so large that It wouldn't go through his corn sheller he quit on that line and reversed his experi ment. He reasoned that he wanted to raise CORN, not cobs, and has succeeded in producing a long ear, containing eight rows, with kernels large and cob so small that it Isn't worth mentioning. Now that a corn contest Is on In Old Wayne, Mr. Fer guson, when he recovers, will bo one of its most enthusiastic supporters, and a supporter along decidedly in telligent lines, his knowledge uaving been acquired from practical ex perience.

ONE OF SPRING'S DELIGHTS. Ever go househunting? If you haven't then you havo missed one of tho dollghts of married life. Imag ine yourself walking up and down town, on cross streets and perchance out of town for an available place to live. Just place yourself in front rapping at the door of a property and in your imagination see your children playing about tho premises when tho door opens and you are standing face to face with tho head of the house, but Instead of being a man It happens to bo a woman. You state your errand and your littlo harmless baby boy or girl is stand ing close to your side. The child does not say anything, but is care fully taking In the situation in fts innocent way. Suddenly there is something said: "What is it moth er?" peeps tho little one. "Won't take us?' Why not mother?" and other heart appealing and pitiful re marks come from the Hps of your child. "No children or dogs can occupy these rooms," came the harsh words. You bite your lips and turning upon your heel go to anoth er place you have seen advertised for rent. You push the button or rap the huge brass knocker. Tho maid appears at the door. "Rooms to let," you inquire. "Just one mo ment, please." The landlord ap pears. "You got any children?" Is said in a gruff voice.. "Yes, this one," you reply. " Can't allow him around here; he will ruin the house and besides it grates upon my nerves. No, madame, I won't stand for them!" Again discouraged to try another place. This time is at an apart ment house. In answer to your call an elderly lady comes to the door. You make inquiry as to rooms. "Any children?" . "Yes, one," you timidly reply. "No chil dren come into this house." "Well," you reply, "there is only one thing to do and that is to kill them off." "My! That will never do," replies the elderly lady, throwing up her hands in horror. You are half-inclined to try In Honesdale what one lady did. She had Ave children, and after mak ing several unsuccessful attempts In househunting sent her maid and children to tho nearest cemetery, telling them to stay there until she came for them. The women had no trouble to And a house and when tho question of children arose she promptly answered that she had five, but all were in the cemetery. Househunting is perplexing, es pecially when the desirable houses are filled. Another question Is the rent problem. Houses without mod ern improvements command as high a rent as almost do those with im provements. Within a year rents in town have advanced several dollars upon the month, making tho price almost prohibitive for the laboring man to pay. CHURCH NOTES.
