1T is queer how that splendid,
long-continued rain, which began
Wednesday night, took all the
weather prophets, by surprise. Such
things will happen, though.
The sparse attendance at church
service Sunday was, of course, at
tributed to the damp, cold atmos-
phere. The previous Sabbath it was
" too hot"
The third of series of very
interesting articles by Mr.. august

A Honesdale woman, who uses
many lemons for various purposes
in her home, always saves the skins

uses the lemon as sponge.
The idea has been advanced that
the money subscribed for Old Home
Week, in this place might better be
spent for hospital. This matter

left to the judgment of those who are
paying their money for this Old
Home Week celebration.
The class of 1905, H. H. S.,

OF the nineteen members of the
class, but four were absent. Very

1t may be interesting to our
farmer friends to know that the Ag-
ricultural Department has been in
vestigating that old myth about po-

grow just as we'll when planted in
the new, as in the old of the moon.

now the people are worrying because
they don't know whether it was d
corpse or treasure, in the box.
