THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
A Wish To work under constant
twartlng, but to work without bitter
ness; to live each day with kindli
ness when our own strength Is ex
hausted and there Is little sweetness
In our lot; to keep hold of sure
values when the Individual effort has
gone away; to know that we are mis
placed, and yet that the eternal or
der Is undisturbed; to know that jus
tice may be delayed for a century
and still arrive in ample time.

Our contemporary, the Independ
ent, is now trying out a trl-weekly
issue. Well, "here's looking at
you!"
HATS OFF TO THE TROLLEY.
Tho Citizen takes pleasure in an
nouncing to its many readers the fact
that the long-talked-of and wished
for trolley road between Honesdale
and Hawley is surely to be built.
This is glad news and wo are as anxi
ous to hear of it as you. Three
cheers to the Wayne County Street
Railway Company! Long may it
live and prosper.
TYPHOID VEGETABLES.
In view of the number of typhoid
fever cases which are due to contam
inated fruit and vegetables grown on
land fertilized with night soil, the
department of health and charities
of Philadelphia, has issued a bulletin
warning the public against this
source of disease and in all parts of
the country It would be well to pay
heed to the suggestion.
It is now recognized that a large
number of so-called "vacation" ty
phoid cases are due to berries and
vegetables that are eaten raw and
which have been grown on land fer
tilized with night soil. In warning
to the public to be careful about the
handling of this kind of food the de
partment says:
"Typhoid fever and other serious
diseases can be spread through un
clean vegetables, the germs of tho
disease being taken into the body by
eating lettuce, celery, radishes and
other vegetables which are eaten
raw, which have been contaminated
with sewage or washed in contamin
ated water, or grown on truck farms
using fresh night soil as a fertilizer.
Vegetables grown In soil fertilized
with typhoid fever material have
been found to have typhoid fover
germs upon the leaves and stems 31
days after the soil was polluted."
"UNPROTECTED RURAL NEIGH
BORHOOD. On Wednesday about noon a ne
gro passed over the State road in
Cherry Ridge township, through
Clark's Corners, where John Bodlo
and Robert Bonear reside, and
thenco onward towards Hoadleys.
His personal appearance and actions
wore of such a nature that the Bo
dies very properly notified people by
telephone of tho man's actions so
that they might bo on their guard.
Mr. Bodie also very properly notified
the Cherry Ridgo constable and thoi
Honesdale authorities. The wandor
ing negro amused himself when ho
reached the old abandoned cheesery,
just south of Bodlo's near tho water
ing trough, by spending about a half
hour throwing stones at tho build
ing. Women along the line were
terrified, and a general alarm was
sounded. Inquiry was mado of Far
view whether any of tho inmates
had escaped, but nono of them had
got away.
In due time tho man arrived at
Hoadley's station, and, thanks to tho
prompt attention of Charley Brown,
who had been called up from Honos
dale, ho was kept under proper sur
veilanco. Ho entered tho store, ask
ed for a nowspaper, -which was giv
en him, and eventually went up the
railroad track towards Clemo and
Lackawanna county, where ho can
pursue his antics of stoning build
ings and terrorizing women until ho
Is eventually "took up" and placed
under proper restraint.
There seems to bo a weakness
somewhere In methods of dealing
with tramps and suspicious charac
ters who travel about the country,
Civilians have no authority, and are
timid about such matters, while
thero are too many officials who
have been placed In position because
they are lame, or halt, or blind, or
old. As a protection to the public
they aro nil.
The tramp subject is the strongest
argument possible In favor of wom
an suffrage. If women had tho bal
lot they would by their ballots, as
soon as possible, flro out of office a
lot of weaklings who are absolutely
worthless as far as public protec
tion is concerned. They would actu
ally, wo believe, stand by tho State
mounted constabulary.
PLANT ENGLISH WALNUTS ON
UNLMPROVED LOTS.
Tho people of this country con
sume 50,000,000 pounds of English
walnuts a year, more than half of
them Imported. Often It has been
proposed that moro English walnuts
bo planted in this country to supply
the demand and to utilize lands eith
er bare now or given over to the
growth of slowly maturing timber.
The trouble ,has been to secure
trees that will withstand our rigor
ous and variable winters. The effort
of many horticulturists has been to
develop hardy varieties. While here
and there are trees of English wal
nuts that have survived tho orchards
that have been planted in this lati
tude and diod out. However hope
has always been taken and thero Is
set out in this country today at
least one largo English walnut or
chard. A Long Island farmer who has
seen tho advantage of English wal
nut growing, Is advising tho people
there to plant walnuts and supply
the American demand. He figures
out that tho people who bought
Long Island lots from boom land
speculators can In five years be pay
ing their taxes and getting some
llttlo return on their supposedly bad
investment by planting English wal
nuts. Tho idea could bo carried out in
this section too. By the tlmo that
houses will bo up In outlying sec
tions, tho English walnuts will bo
bearing furnishing shade, fruit,
profits and satisfaction.

The 'fitdnesdale Union gave a prize
of $2.00 for the best essay and $1
for tho second prize. Tno urst. prize
essay Is then sent to tho county su
perintendent of S. T. I. and com
petes with other High school prize
essays and tho essay winning tho
county prizo of $6.00 will be sent to
the State Superintendent of Scienti
fic Instruction, and that will compote
with all the states for tho nation
prize of $50.00 in gold.
There had been 30 essays written.
The teachers chose tho 7 best writ
ten according to their Judgment, and
gave them to tho local Superintend
ent, and she chose Rev. U. S. wen
dell. Georce P. Ross and Miss Flor
ence Smith for judges. They award
ed No. 29, Miss Harriet Barnes, the
first prize. According to their judg
ment it being tho most original and
was arranged in the most logical
manner. Each of the other six were
so well written that it was hard to
decide which was the better. They
gave the second award to No. 14,
Miss Fanny Tingloy, and gave tho
other five, Mary Burke, Laura Rob'
inson, Blancho Knaz, Mildred Mur
ray, and Francis Downing com'
mendable mention. Mrs. G. P. Ross
presented the prizes and Mrs. Barnes
gave a very interesting talk to the
school. Mrs. Ross and tho Union aro
very grateful to tho teachers for the
courtesy shown and work done, and
also to tho whole freshmen class
for their excellent essays. "Wo are
sorry that we are not able to give
a reward to each writer, but wo
trust that each of you have received
a more lasting benefit from what
you have learned, in searching out
tho truths for your essays, than any
thing that we could give you. Our
object in having you writ these
essays is to enforce on your minds
so that you will never forget them,
the evils resulting from the use of
alcoholic stimulants in any form
Tho hope of our nation is in our
boys and girls, and we want them
to be the very best that thero Is.

We will have tho prize essays pub

GREATER HONESDALE.
Now that tho Wayno County
Street Railway is an assured fact,
Greater Honesdale must also be.
Honesdalo is growing rapidly and tho
borough line is drawn too snugly to
bo comfortable. To overcome this
discomfiture the annexation of a
part, sections or the entire of Tex
as township is recommended.
Honesdale, like the Chinese child,
cannot grow If its feet aro tied. In
order that the town have proper
growth it must be given space in
which to expand. In a short time
Texas township will bo compelled
to erect High schools to caro for its
pupils. This will bo additional ex
penso to the district. In Honesdale,
if Texas wero annexed, tho school
question would bo settled, tho pres
ent school being large enough to
caro for tho Texas pupils. This
would bo a saving well worth Inves
tigating. Honesdalo's school tax
levy is only six and a-half mills;
Texas township seven njills; while
Seolyvlllo, independent district, is
nine mills. Where is tho economy?
Tho Citizen's columns aro open pro
and con on this livo and important
question. We would like to hear
from our readers, those living in
Texas and Honesdalo.

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Tree That Throws Somersaults and a
Waterfall Reversed.
A tree gone mad and a waterfall that
falls up instead of down aro among
the strange things to bo seen In Ha'
wall, as described by John Burroughs
In tho Century Magazine:
"Nature in tho tropics, left to her
self, la harsh, aggressive, savage;
looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or Impale
you on, her thorns or engulf you In her
ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood is
never as placid and sane ns in the
north. There is n tree in the Hawaiian
woods that suggests a tree gono mad.
It la called tho hau trco. It lies down,
squirms and wriggles all over the
ground like a wounded snake. It gets
up and then takes to earth again. Now
It wants to bo a vino; now it wants to
be a tree. It throws somersaults, it
makes itself into loops and rings, it
rolls, it reaches, it doubles upon itself.
Altogether it is tho craziest vegetnble
growth 1 ever saw.
"It was near Pali that I saw what I
had never seen or heard of before a
waterfall reversed, going up Instead of
down. It suggested Stockton's story
of negative gravity. A small brook
comes down off the mountain and at
tempts to make tho leap down n high
precipice, but the winds catch it and
carry it straight up In tho air like
smoke. It is translated; it becomes a
mere wraith hovering above the bee
tling crag. Night and day this goes
on, the wind snatching from the moun
tains In this summary way the water
it has brought them."
Lucky Thirteenth.
A woman who sots particular store
by tho thirteenth superstition surprised
her friends by accepting an invitation
to a luncheon where there wero to be
thirteen guests.
"I will bo late," she said, "for I shall
make it a point to bo tho thirteenth
person to enter tho room. That Is a
funny thing nbout thirteen. Many ac'
cldents have happened to parties thir
teen in number, but Investigation has
shown that whllo tho other twelve per
sons suffered moro or less tho thir
teenth person who joined tho company
always escaped unharmed." Phlladel
phla Ledger.
Twentieth Century Definitions.
A witty Judge of tho municipal court
of Boston stoutly declared that "a pat
riot was a man who refused to button
his wife's llngerlo waist"
"A martyr," ho went on, "Is ono who
attempts and falls, whllo n hero tries
and succeeds.'
"Then what Is a coward?" asked a
curious bystander.
"Oh, n coward," replied tho Judge, "is
a man who remains slnglo so ho won't
have to try." Youth's Companion,
A Rare Instance.
"Talking of Cinderella and her glass
slipper, sho was tho only woman I
Inow of who could do such a feat"
"Such a feat as what?"
"Do the right thing by putting her
root in it" Detroit Froo Jirfs.s.
