The Rev. Mr.. Burch of Waymart,
preached a very good sermon here
at Steene on Sunday afternoon. He
took for his text jeremiah 51st
chapter, and first clause of the 7th
verse. Babylon hath been a golden
cup in the Lords hand"
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Chapman, of
Wilkes-B Barre, visited the latter's
parents here. on Saturday and Sun
day.
With a gang of men and teams,

last week.
Mrs. William Wright and MIR. and
Mrs. Roy Spangenburg, of Carbon

Honesdale, spent Sunday at the home
of their parents here at Steene.
Eichard Pierce has purchased an
up-to-date road horse. He thinks
he can hold her in on a good road if
rheumatism will keep away.
At the first opportunity Mr.. Alon-
20 Wood will dispose of his horse,
harness and buggy. While work
ing on the road one day last week,
a large auto owned by j. ID. Weston
of Honesdale drove by the old gent.
Mr.. Wood stood and watched the
machine out of sight, then with tears
in his eyes, said, Gentlemen, | have
as fine a little stopper up in the
barn as ever was wrapped in har-
ness, but she is afraid of those ami
mails, so much so that it isn't safe to
take her out on the road; so |
will dispose of her, and purchase
one of those animals before the sum-
mer is gone" Then Mr.. Found
said, Mr.. Wood, never purchase one
of those machines. They are not
fast enough. 1t is my intention to
purchase a flying machine just as
soon as they are made perfect and
safe, as | begin to feel like flying
through the air." So Mr.. Wood is
now talking flying machine"
Our merchant, Mr.. Snediker, is
now dealing in horses, having pur-

| Miss Pearl Swingle, of Carbon
dale, visited her parents at Steene
on Sunday.
Albert ODell, of Prompton, is in

that while at carpenter work he re-

! hand by a chisel At first he didn't
pay any attention to it, but then his
! hand began to swell, and be in ter
rible pain Afterwards blood poison
set in, and his condition is now quite
alarming.

audience is appreciative

AFTERNOON SESSION
Prof. Gortner occupied the first
period. He emphasized the harm of
frequent changing of teachers. If
necessary raise the salary and keep
the good teachers. The three things
essential to success in the profess
sion are, a cool head, warm heart
and tough hide; one that is not
easily effected, not sensitive to the
criticism of the community. He
also discussed the Township High
school question.
A short business session was held
and the following officers were elect
ed: President, Mrs. Alma Dix; vice
president. Charles f. Martz; secre-
tary and treasurer, Clara A. Eek;
executive committee, A. II. Howell,
Vera Murray and Gertrude Lee.
AS since our last meeting Prof.
Dooley has been removed from our
midst, Mr.. Mark Greasy read the re-
solutions which tenderly expressed
the sentiments of the Wayne County
teachers toward their departed
friend and co-worker.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Greasy, DIETRICH and Dimon, were ap-
pointed to meet with Supt. Koehler
to systemic the High school course.
Judge A. T. Searle gave an ad-
dress. AS a former teacher, and at
present a director, and Juoge of the
courts, he very ably entertained the
large audience. He complimented
the good work of our county super
intendent, and also his efforts 10
have agriculture introduced in the
schools If the cost of living is to
be made less, an effort must be made
to get people interested in the farms
and get them back to the farms. AS
( foreigners are often taught our ways
and language through their children,
so will farmers be benefited by the
books on agriculture and knowledge
/ of the subject that the children
| bring into the home.
The times are growing better. The
| politicians are more decent The
courts of Pennsylvania were care
| fully explained. Then he stated the
| essentials of the character of teach
er are, good manners, enthusiasm,
cheerfulness, prudence in speech,
sincerity, honesty, and independence.
Instill in the hearts of the children
a love for their country, their state
and even their township. Pennsyl-
vania is one of the most interesting
of the states to study and it ought
to be thoroughly taught.
Prof. NJ. ]. Costello, of Scranton
Technical High school. was introduc-
ed and gave a talk on Pennsylvania
in Literature" which was very much
enjoyed as the subject was very
thoroughly and luently discussed.
Many good Pennsylvania writer's
and their masterpieces were men
toned, and many touching tributes
to our state were given in a pleasing
manner.
Rev. Boyce gave a short talk, and
the meeting was adjourned.

MARK TWAIN.

y
world has been deprived OF
its kindliest and most broad
minded humorist. Last week
in his home at Redding, Con
necticut, Samuel L. Clemens
Familiarity and more widely
known as Mark Twain, died
at the advanced age of seven
ty-fve-full of years and full
of honors.
No American school boy,
and hardly any girl, reaches
high school age without hav-
ing formed the intimate, last
ing and pleasant acquaintance
of Mark Twain through his
most famous literary creations
Tom Sawyer and Huckle-
berry Finn. All grown-ups
who lay the slightest claim,
even to a superficial know
ledge of American literature,
remember the story Of the
handwriting of Columbus,
which He Write Himself, y
and which was proudly ex-
posed to the inconoclastic gaze
of Clemens, the Doctor and
Jack by the enthusiastic Fer
guson; Jacks experience with
the fair French clerk and the
kid gloves; the meal in the
Canary Islands that came very
nearly breaking the financial
standing Of the man who was
to stand treat" and, above
all, the forty-mile midnight
tour in the room of an Euro
pean hotel in quest of a drink
of water. All these and the
egyptian mummy that the
would not believe was dead,
are familiar to us all; and they
never grow tiresome, however
often we may read them.
AS a humorist, Mark Twain,
in our opinion, stood in the
first rank. His humor was OF
the kindliest and seemed al
ways to be plain and homely,
but never ineffective. But he
did not lack the faculty OF
sending a barbed shaft from
his humorist's bow when occa.
sion seemed to require. One
example of the happy exer
else of this faculty that occurs
to us at the present moment
is to be found in his treat
ment of a certain class O
western bad men as typifiec
in Slade.
1t was hardly to be expected
that Twain could ever turr
to anything serious. But h
did. He has written one O
the best studies of Christian
Science and its founder tha
has yet appeared, in which h
has made several points tha
have not yet beet satisfae
torily answered. Even in tha
work, Clemens did not forge
his power as a humorist. Th
book spangles with humorou
anecdotes of stunning oppc
siteness that carry the serlou
object rapidly and charmingl
forward. There is also a
occasional burst of righteou:
undisguised anger that is nc
at all unbecoming.
