ciation is exceptionally fine.
Elsewhere in to-day's Citizen
there appears a notice asking for
bids for installing new individual
seats and a new floor in each of the
four grades in the brick or L of
the new school building, Honesdale.
The school directors are planning to
have these improvements made dur
ing institute week, which is in No
vember. Anything is liable to happen or
occur on Thirteenth street. The
quoit club of that street is so eager
to play that candles have been used
with considerable success of late.
The club, however, have made ar
rangements with the electric light
company to install a private light
on that street for its benefit. There
are some members of the club that
play better at night than in day
light. Miss Amy Cory entertained on
Irving Cliff In honor of her friend,

yer. There is nothing but fun in
Charley Grapewin's "Sweethearts
and Wives-' which will be ono of the
early attractions here. The plot is
new and original and is founded on
the complications that follow the
mixing up of tw.o yellow suit cases
belonging to two commercial travel
lers, which bear the same initials,
"J. H." "Sweethearts and Wives"
will be sumptuously mounted and
presented by a company of unusual
excellence.
The Honesdale Improvement As
sociation calls attention to the un
tidy condition in which young
people who visit the parks
leave the places. Peanut shells,
banana peels, newspapers, etc., are
found every morning upon the
ground. The association has placed
cans and other receptacles In dif
ferent parts of the town for rubbish
of this character and if parties fre
quenting these places had any civic
pride they would refrain from litter
ing the parks with debris.

Wednesday, September 3, was
the last day for registering your
name for the purpose of voting at
the coming primary election which
will be held on September 16th. On
that day the office of the county com
missioners was kept busy receiving
the registry books from the 42 dis
tricts of Wayne county, from the reg
istry assessors who have completed
their work. The registration shows
that throughout the county the Re
publicans are coming back into the
fold of the old party. In some dis
tricts the Republicans lead by more
than 16 to 1 over the Washington
party men and almost '2 to 1 over
the Democrats.
George E. Taylor, of Elk Lake,
who has a number of friends in
Scranton, is making plans to take up
missionary work in China, says the
Tribune-Republican. He will take
his family with him to that far-off
country. He tells an interesting
story of the' manner In which he ar
rived at the determination to make
the far East the scene of his future
lifework. When the United States
declared war on Spain he enlisted
and went with his company to Cuba.
His letters home showed, he was so
lonesome and homesick that a broth
er joined him to keep him company.
The brother sickened and died while
in camp and Mr. Taylor, broken
hearted, vowed that if his life was
spared he would consecrate his fu
ture life to religious work. When
tho war ended he began to prepare
himself for such a career and now
proposes to make good his pledge by
removing to a field where ho believes
he can do a great deal of good.

indeed, every play upon my name that
could be Invented.
Foreseeing that 'a manly part In life
was needed to help mo to throw off
this suggestion of effeminacy, I deter
mined to become a soldier. I applied
to the congressman of my district He
told me that be had given out bis
appointments, but I saw from the
amused expression on his face that he
would not think of recommendiqg a
boy with such a name. I walked away
to tbe nearest recruiting station and
enlisted.
1 knew what ( had to expect from
my comrades, nnd I was not disap
pointed. I was soon given the sotibri
quet ot "Sweetheart" and. except offi
cially, was never called anything else
I boro It stoically. When addressed as
"Sweetheart" or "Rosie Dear" I did not
complain, taking it ns a matter of
course that Is, pretending to do so.
though every time I was thus address
ed it was like a stab.
I resolved to be tho best soldier In
my company, and I was. Notwlth
standing my Incubus I was promoted
to be corporal, then sergeant an'd final
ly orderly sergeant. When 1 reached
the highest noncommissioned office In
my company I secured an advantage
It enabled mo when on duty to compel
the men to 'address mo by my right
name. I permitted them to call nie
what they liked unofficially, but the
moment one of them djd so upon any
official occasion I brought him up with
a round turn. This gradually killed
the habit
My service In the ranks was during
'tho last Indian troubles, and in a tight
that occurred In attempting to drive a
tribe of redskins back on to their res
ervation I, preferring to die rather than
not gain something by which to bal
ance tho disadvantage of tho name un
der which I lived, fought regardless of
danger. The result was that when
wo got back to tbe fort tho colonel
commanding sent for me. compliment
ed mo and told me that ho had recom
mended me for a commission. He
knew mo as Sergeant Darling. Darling
by Itself Is not a very bad name, and I
hoped that when I camo to associate
with tho commissioned officers 1 should
gain a respite. I would be Mr. Dar
ling, and when 1 camo to tho next
grade above I would be Captain Dar
ling. Then 1 would get rid of the "Rosle
Dear'' and all that W
But I was doomed to disappointment.
I found that tbe higher I rose the more
ambitious were my associates. Ambi
tion takes many forms. Tho ambition
of the stupidest persons, seems to bo to
crack a Joke. And the stupider the
person the moro reliant bo is upon an
opportunity. When a few weeks later
tho colonel sent for mo to hand me
my commission I found him looking at
tho parchment with a smile hovering
about his lips. With a twinklo la bis
eye bo said half musingly.
"Rosedalo Darling. Rose Darling.
Un hal Mr. Rose Darling, I am pleased
to greet you among tho commissioned
officers of the army. 1 dare say yon
will be very dear to tbo ladies of tlie
garrison."
Thank you. colonel." 1 said, forclna
a smile. That's a very good pun ol
yours. How did you happen to think
of it?"
"On, It's in tho nam-Rose Darling,
Darling Roso, Rose Dear, see?"
"Upon my word," I replied, my face
lighting up with assumed surprise and
admiration. "Excellent! I wonder no
ono over thought of it before."
"Unven't they?' His own face re
flecting the pleasure in mine. "Well,
I suppose It's my- senso of humor."
Then and thero I resolved that 1
t.'ould make a bold stroko for revenge
upon him for indulging in that humor
I had often seen a pretty girl of sev
enteen' at guard mounting or dross
parado whom I had been told was the
colonel's daughter. I laid siege to her
heart and after a struggle won her,
though the colonel tried to head mo off
Jy trumping up charges against ma
I was tried and acquitted, and 1 mar
ried the girl. Since then every time
a (Darling) child is born to mo 1 feel
that I am giving my humorous father-in-law
a now stab. I have at times
been tempted to lay an Incubus on one
of my own boys; by naming him for

II The Deacon's Fiddle I
i
I 4
IT was a well known fact when Abel
Hastings was elected ono of tho
deacons of his church that ho nut
only owned a fiddle, but played on it
Ho had been censured for this act of
worldliness, but as It was his only
weakness and as ho was eminently
fitted to fill a denconshlp his brethren
went ahead and took chances.
But It wnsu't four weeks before he
bought a piano for his daughter. At
an Informal meeting of the other dea
cons, tho pew openers and the box
passers It was decided that a piano
could not classed under tho head
of naturally wicked. The question
was, Could tho dclcon live In the same
house with a fiddle and a piano and
maintain his religious Integrity? Tho
deacon's critics were watching nnd
waiting.
Nemesis was close on the deacon's
tyeels, however. His daughter Minnie
.was a general favorite, and ono winter
night a lot of young people appeared
ns a surprise party. He couldn't turn
them away, and lie reluctantly brought
out his fiddle, tuned It carefully and
prepared to play.
The fiddle nnd the piano started out
with "Sweet By and Jly," accompa
nied by all who could sing, and how
they ever switched off on tb ragtime
tho deacon could never explain toiilm
self. It was liko a dream to him nest
day. When told that tho young folks
had formed in sets and danced to his
"first four forward and back ladles
change gents to tho left all prome
nade," ho studied over it and sighed. v
Beforo noon next day It was known
far and wide that Deacon Hastings
had fiddled for n dance. That ho would
be churched was regarded as a matter
of course, and it was determined that
his fellow deacons Investigate before
ho could run away from tho scene of
his crime. Accordingly, at 7 o'clock on

In the game of fox a circle Is marked

players, who clrclo around. Tho fox
can neither strike or bo struck while i
be Is in his "den." Even when ho Is I
out of his don ho can strike only when'
ho Is standing on ono leg, and if he

tho evening after tho party, they 'filed
Into his parlor to put him on the rnck.
"Brethren, I hain't got much' to say,"
began tho culprit. "If there was a
dance, and I guess there was, then tho
fiddle sort of got away with me."
"But you also called out tho figures
to be danced, didn't you?" asked one.
"Mebbo I did. When the music got
to goln I felt that I had to mix In.
Duriu' my sinful days I used to go to
every danco within ten miles."
"There can bo no doubt, brethren,"
said the same deacon, "that it was sin
ful music nnd that there was dancing,
but we must not bo too impetuous.
Deacon Hopkins, will yon let us hear
tho strains given last night?"
The deacon called his daughter down
and got out his fiddle. Whllo ho was
tuning up three of Minnie's girl friends
arrived and were ushered into the
room. When tho music was ready, tbe
derelict said:
"I will show you as nigh as I can re
member just how it was. Deacon
Jones, you stand hero with my wife.
You others stand up with these girls.
Now you nro all ready. Saluto your
partners! Ladles to tho right gents
to tho left I All saluto! Promenado
halfway round hnlf way home! All
balance and swing your partners!"
Tho deacons had stood up reluctant
ly. They had hung back at tho first
cnll. It was only for n minute, how
ever. A warm wave swept them from
head to heels and back, nnd they went
through the figures with n vim.
"That's tho way it was," said Deacon
Hastings ns tho music stopped "only
more of it; two hours, mebbo."
Tho deacons retired to tho kitchen
for a consultation, nnd when they had
'got thero they looked into eacli other's
face and queried, "Well?
When they had returned to tho par
Id Deacon .Tones, speaking for tho
rest, bc 1(1 :
"Brother Hastings, wo find that you
played slnfut music and that you call
ed sinful calls for a sinful dance, but
we nlso find that youMkMlo got away
with you and that everybody enjoyed
tho occasion, and so you won't hear
any more about it. I may add in this
connection, being ns we are hero as
sembled and being as your fiddle and
piano are In tune, you might favor us
with a few tnoro lively airs."
