WAY MART.

The pupils of Miss Genevieve
Lord gave a musical recital in the
Presbyterian church on Friday
evening last. From the character of
the entertainment one can readily
discern that Miss Lord is a pains
taking and efficient teacher OF mu-
sic. She is graduate of the Mans
field State Normal school.
The piano solos of Misses Kath-
Hopkins, all youthful pupils, were
commercially executed; that of the
first named, who had some advant-
age in longer training, being es-
pecially good as was likewise her
vocal solo.
The playing of Master Neii Keen,
guitar, and Miss Edith Keen, man
dolin, who rendered Engelman' S
MELODY of Love-" was one of the
notable features of the evening
Both of these young people have
musical ability of high order.
Miss Hattie Miller's interpreta-
tion of Mowskowski's "Sevenata"
poise and action graceful.
Miss Pearl Griffith sang Jensen's
"Murmuring Zephyrs" with appro-
pirate feeling and expression. Af-
ter prolonged applause she respond
ed with Gathered Roses" as an
encore. Miss Griffith possesses a
soprano voice of remarkable COM
pass, sweetness and purity of tone.
Her range, though a young singer,
comprises three octaves and she
reaches high c with ease and ac-
curacy. We predict for her in the
near future something more than
local fame.
A very enjoyable evening was
concluded by song from the quar-
tette composed of Messrs. Peck, Os-
tendorf, Walker, and Wright which
was So fayorably received that they

Kindness That Is Frozen.

The world is full of kindness that
never is spoken and that is not much
better than no kindness at all. The
fuel in the stoves makes the room
warm, but there are great piles Of
fallen trees lying on rocks and on tops
Of hills where nobody can get them.
These do not make anybody warm.
You might freeze to death for want
Of wood in plain sight of these fallen
trees If you had no means Of getting
the wood home and making a fire of
it. Just so in a family. Love is what
makes the parents and children, the
brothers and sisters happy. But If
they take care never to say a word
about it, If they keep it profound
secret as if it were a crime, they will
not be much happier than if there was
not any love among them: the house
will seem cool even in summer. and If
you live there you will envy the dog
when any one calls him poor fellow"

Retired Editors.

Our contemporary, the Independ
ent, published Friday last portraits
of three well-known and honored citi-
Zens of Honesdale, all of whom have
for many years been newspaper pub
fishers in this place, but who have
retired from the field, not quite full
of years." but full of their old-time
geniality and likeableness. Messrs.
Penniman and Wilson, as most people
in this section are aware were, for
thirty-nine years editors and proprie-
tors of The Citizen and Mr. Ham for
forty years editor and proprietor of
the Herald. The eulogistic sketch of
these gentlemen, accompanying the
pictures was we'll written and truth
fully true. May the gentlemen por-
trayed live many long years, in the
full enjoyment of health and happi-
ness.

NEW WEATHER SIGN.
Blooming Laurel Tell of Coming
Winter of DeeD Shows.

Some of the oldest people say
that they never before saw the lau-
rel bloom in such profusion as it
did this season and on that account
predict that the coming winter will
be one of many and deep SHOWS,
the sign not having failed. The
large rhododendron, or what we
know as the swamp laurel is be-
ginning to bloom and another week
or two will find that much sought
for wild flower plentiful.-Hazleton

SNORT corn ana POTATOES anu
rusty, starved-looking oats are
some of the effects of the dry
weather that has prevailed over
eastern Pennsylvania.
Haying time is on and reports
from some who are already at it
say that the hay crop is light.
Potato bugs are making full
time, eating up the young plants,
and a brown worm is busily eating
the leaves from maple, beech and
birch trees. The dust on the pub
lie roads is very disagreeable to the
traveller, as we'll as to the beast.
Rye fields are taking on change
of color and the harvest time is
not far distant.
a timothy head taken from An
drew Beesecker's property, measures
10l4 inches in length. Do they
grow any longer?
Richard Bortree's new house is
under roof and the new high school
building is up in the air = feet and
will soon be ready for rafters and
slate roof. 1t will be quite a large
school building, but at the present
rate of increase in population in
southern Wayne and nearby Green
town, Pike county. it may need ad
ditional rooms to accommodate
young America.
Maurice Gilpin is running two
horse hack to and from Gouldsboro
daily, to accommodate the city peo-
pie and travelling public.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Shelbird
have another boarder, little baby
girl, born about July eth.
Mrs. George Thomas and two
children of New York City, are
guests of Anthony Shelbird and
family.
John Hazelton has killed 80
woodchucks already this season.
The grading on the state road in
Dreher is nearly completed and the
road is in a fair way to be COM
pleted this season. y new road
sprinkler for use on the state road
in Greentown. was brought from
GouldSboro on Friday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Inglis and
their daughter, Mary, and son John,
all of Scranton, are guests at the
home of Mrs. Jane Brown, on the
old north and south turnpike.
On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Inglis,
in company with. her husband and
son, went with their horse and light
wagon to Gouldsboro, to meet a
train to Scranton for Mr.. Inglis to
return to the city. On the way
home and while coming down the
Hoot hill, the horse became un-
manageable and started to run, and
she was unable to check it. The
noise made by the horse and wagon
and the screams of the frightened
woman, alarmed the family at A.
c. Angels, but the time was too
short to stop the mad runaway. At
the foot of the hill, below Angels,
the road curves to the left or with
narrow bridge to cross, but the
could not make the curve and horse,
wagon, woman and child upset into
the creek. Neither Mrs. Inglis or
her son were seriously hurt and
their escape from death is certain
ly a miracle, when the place they
landed is taken in consideration.
The horse was not hurt but the
wagon is a wreck. Word was sent
to Mrs. Brown and G, S. Brown and
Harry Megargel who came to the
scene of the wreck and assisted in
getting Mrs. Inglis and her son to
Mrs. Browns. No doubt they will
feel the effects of the shakeup later.

A Curious Language.

The Yana language Of northern Cal
ifornia represents a distinct linguistic
stock and had formerly three dialects,
one Of which is now extinct. 1t pos
sesses two forms Of speech, one Of
which is employed by men speaking to
men, while the other is used in all
other cases. Practically the language
has only nouns and verbs, the adjec-
tives, adverbs, numerals, interrogative
pronouns and conjunctions being
formed from, the, verbs.
