a severe shock to her many friends.
Mrs. Weinss had been confined to
her room since Wednesday of last
week but her real illness dates back
about a week previous. She had
been a sufferer from asthma which
complicated with pleurisy and heart
trouble caused her death. Deceas-
ed was born at Rondout, Oct. 6,
1S49, and when about years of
age cane here with her parents,
Frederick and Margaret Siedler, both
now deceased, so that she has been
a resident of this place practically
all her life. Her father was en-
ployed in the building of the d. &
II. canal and did considerable of the
mason work on the locks Later he
engaged in the hotel business in the
building now owned by Martin Rea-
fer. Mrs Weinss was united in
marriage with John Weinss, at
Hawley, in 1865. To them were
born five daughters and two sons,
all of whom survive except one
daughter, Louise. Those surviving
are as follows: Mrs. VIM. c. Ames
and Mrs. a. H. Frank, of Hawley;
Mrs. r. A. Lighthiser, of Honesdale;

of Danville, and one brother, Jacob
Siedler, of Scranton. Mr. Weinss

was woman of gentle and winning
personality; she was highly esteem

severe blow to her friends and ac-
Quaintances. The funeral was held

LOOKING PLEASANT

why is it that most people, as they
walk along the streets or ride in the
cars, have such an unpleasant ex-
preston? If one will observe even
casually the people he meets in a
day he will be impressed with the
pained and sullen and disagreeable
countenances We live in rush,
and the average person is bent on
some errand or business and is ab-
sorbed in that; we are all rushing
to get something or somewhere
With this absorbing our attention we
haven't time to attend to our facial
expression. We are not sure, how
ever that this is a matter of per-
missible Indifference. If one does
not believe that his countenance
adds to or detracts anything from
the lives or expressions of others let
him pause for moment before that
now celebrated "Billiken." 1t is
almost impossible to look at the lit
tie imp and not smile. The japanese
teach their maids in the hotels, and
those also in higher walks of life, the
art of smiling. They are compelled
to practice before a mirror. One
can not stay long in Japan without
being inoculated with the disposition
to look pleasant" The look
pleasant, please" of the photograph
er goes deeper than the photograph
plate.

SNOW SUBWAYS.
They Have Such Things Over i'm
Sullivan County.

Subways in Sullivan county at the
present time are almost as common
as in New York. On account of the
deep snow Nelson Monroe, a farm
er, living three miles from Month
cello, on the road to Liberty, has
had to tunnel his entire premises in
order to go from his house to the cat
tie barns His place is situated in
valley where the wind sweeps down
ly submerged his house, shutting
out all trace of daylight and the
occupants are compelled to burn
lamps in going about the house.
Farmer Monroes subway was dis
covered by his neighbors one day
last week when they went to make
an investigation of his non-appear-
ance. He met them at the mouth of
the tunnel and escorted them into
the house where his wife sat peeling
apples by lamplight. The party then
attempted to explore the subway
leading to the barn, but was forced
to beat a hasty retreat when the
farmers big Holstein bull appeared
at the other end with the threaten
ing manners of a subway hog"
Farmers living in the towns of
Forrestburg and cumberland are
sharing their hay with the wild deer
which have been forded to leave
their snowbound haunts to find
something to eat. Game wardens in
all the towns where wild animals
are known to exist have given the
farmers instructions to feed them
at the expense of the county. Scores
of partridges and English pheasants
have been found frozen to death in
the snow while the fox, lynx and
wildcat are a source of great annoy
ance to the farmer by their nightly
raid on his chicken coop.

TAFT ON THE JEWS.

President Taft's tribute to Jewish
immigrants and Jewish citizenry. in
his recent talk to delegation from
the American Association of Foreign
Language Newspapers, was merely
a bold endorsement of the truth.
That the Jews as a class are
among our best citizens, supplying
fewer criminals and paupers than any
other, has long been recognized as
fact, but there are some opponents
to immigration who would close
their eyes to anything which might
interfere with their cherished plans
for locking out the foreigner. Ger
tain bills now pending in Congress
evoked the visit from the foreign
editors and the President took occa-
sion to voice his admiration and re-
spect for the Jewish immigrant, vir-
tually serving notice that no bill
which did not accord to him his just
dues, would receive the executive
signature.
The declaration will have a bene-
fetal effect.

There is no reason why the hu-
man race should not be more highly
developed If an ordinary weed
can be developed into a beautiful
rose, ordinary human beings can be
developed into men and women of
rare quality and high worth. We
are all children of nature; what is
applicable to one of natures prod
ucts is applicable to all. If the des-
ert on the plains can be made to
blossom as the rose" the many
desert we find in the character, the
mentality and the personality of the
average human being can be made
to blossom in the same way. If
nature, when properly directed, can
cause a blackberry to become white.
why might not the same be done
with human character, no matter
how black or depraved it might be?
If the worthless cactus can be de-
Veloped into thornless cactus that
is excellent for food, there is no rea-
son why every worthless human in
dividual cannot become most val
liable factor in the promotion of
wealth and happiness in the world.
If we can remove the thorns from
the cactus we can remove the thorns
(criminal tendencies) from those
who have wronged society, and it
is the business of great minds to
discover how.

DIR. KLoPsCH Is DYING.
Through His Publication He Has
Distributed S3,3OO,OOO.

New York, March DIR. Louis
Klopsch, editor and publisher of the
Christian Herald, known the world
over for his charities, is dying in the
German Hospital, Park avenue and
Seventy-seventh street. as the result
of an operation performed last
Thursday.
1t was said at the hospital last
night DR.. Klopsch would probably
die before morning. His wife and
son are at his bedside. The opera
ton, which was to remove an abdom-
inal obstruction, extended over a
period of nearly two hours and was
the last hope of saving his life.
Dr.. Klopsch was taken i'll Jan 2S
in Washington, where he had gone to
attend a hearing on the Postal bill.
Despite his ailment he remained in
the capital city several days without
receiving medical attention.
When Dr. Klopsch went to the Ger
man Hospital his condition was con-
sidered critical, but life was not de-
SPARED of. On Thursday the opera
tion was deemed necessary. The pa
tents strength was not sufficient co
stand the shock. Saturday he rallied
but yesterday reaction set in and
last night he sank into unconscious
ness.
Through the Christian Herald DR..
Klopsch has distributed upward of
$3,3OO,O0O in international charities.
He raised a large fund to succor
starving Firms some years ago, for
which he received the thanks of the
Czar. He also raised fund for the
relief of the famine stricken in India
and was thanked by the British
Government Another fund was
raised for the relief of Japanese
famine sufferers and Dr. Klopsch
was decorated with the Order of the
Rising Sun by the MikadO. He aided
those made homeless by the earth
quake that desolated parts of Italy
and Sicily year ago.
Recently President Taft spoke on
invitation of DR.. Klopsch at a meet
ing in the Bowery Mission, of which
DR.. Klopsch is president. DR.. Klop-
sch also has maintained a summer
home for poor children at Nyack,
New York.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced il incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are men of push and
energy in it, who are not afraid to
spend their time and money to boom
their town They erect substantial
buildings, organize stock companies
and establish factories, secure rail-
roads, work for public improvements
and use every means in their power
to induce people to locate in their
city. Wherever they go they tell of
the advantages of their city, they
write about them in every letter,
they send circulars and newspapers
to all whom they think they can get
to visit the city, and when anyone
visits them, treats him so kindly
that he falls in love with them and
their duty at once. 1t is enterprise
and everyone pulling together that
makes a progressive town and don't
let the fact escape your memory

SHIP SUBSIDIES.

There is continuous discussion in
Congress with reference to ship sub
sides. The American carrying
trade sixty years ago covered all
seas, and the Stars and Stripes could
be seen in every port in the world.
The flag at present is confined ex-
clusively to our interior and coast
trade Two years ago when our
battleships circumnavigated the
globe, they were supplied with pro-
visions and coal by foreign vessels.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
Shaw has recently made the start
ling announcement that Japan is de-
termined to rule the Pacific or tinge
its waves with blood, and he has
added to this statement details as to
how Japan can do it. He says that
we hired twenty-seven foreign ships
to carry supplies for our arOund-the
world battleships, and that one hos
tile shot from any country that owns
a cannon would under international
law have sent every one of these
twenty-seyen ships home, for no
country can afford to have its flag in
vOlved in our quarrels. He further
stated that in 1909 the War Depart
ment hired over forty foreign ships
to do its work, and that we are send
ing food to the soldiers in the
Philippine Islands in japanese ships.
He stated further that Japan can
put two hundred thousand soldiers
in Hawaii in thirty days without
firing a shot, and that il would take
us two years to put one hundred
thousand there. The EX-Secretary
of the Treasury has a happy faculty
of graphic statement and illustra-
tiOn, and his combination of arith-
metic and rhetoric produce a vivid,
impressive and true picture. For
better or worse, we are a first class
power and part of the iuterna-
tiOnal system. This has been brought
about through our Hawaii and our
Philippines. The secure insularity
once afforded us by the two great
oceans is no longer ours. We must
be able to defend our frontiers,
Hawaii in mid Pacific and the Philip
pines in Asiatic waters. We cannot
do this without soldiers and ships
not only war ships, but GOLFERS and
commissary ships. How are we to
get sailors and ships when, owing to
our tariff, other nations can build
ships and employ sailors for half the
fifth the price we must pay? AS Mr.
case of Japan, for less than one
fifth the price we must pay. AS Mr.
Shaw says, These are not state Sc
crets. Everybody knows them ex-
cept our voters. We are building
battleships, and this is well, but
battleships without colliers and
transports are absolutely worthless.
In case of war we could not get our
Atlantic fleet to San Francisco. No
vessel in the fleet can carry enough
coal to take it there. We have no
colliers, and could then hire none"
EX-Secretary Shaw further stated
that if every powder mill in the U.
S. was to make powder twenty-four
hour per day for thirty. days, the
product would last our present navy
only two hours.
