Plans for Home

According to the members of the
building committee of the Masonic
grand lodge, having in charge the cree
tion of a Masonic Widows and Orphans
Home, the session of the committee
on Thursday had the effect of great
ly lessening the remaining preliminary
work of the committee. Despite the fact
that the committeeman spent an en-
tire day in session before bids for the
home were rejected, a more thorough
review and contemplation of the plans,
in the presence of architects and con-
ira actors, served the purpose OF
STRENGTHENING a few links In the chain
which makes for one of the most con
venient and commodious buildings In
the state of Alabama
1t is recognized by the committee that
quick work is necessary in order that
the cornerstone of the building, which is
to be erected just outside of Montgom-
cry is ready to be placed. 1t has been
determined to have the exercises early
in December. while the grand lodge of
Masons holds its annual session in the
city.
II it Is at all possible, according to
members of the committee, the home will
be ready for occupancy by naxt fall.
The land on which the home is to be
built is already in fair state of cult
walton, and is waiting to be worked to
secure an annual bumper crop.
Plans for the home adequate in
every way showing that the women and
children who avail themselves of the hos
pitality of the Masons will be thorough
ly well repaid. both from a commodious
viewpoint for the women and because of
educational advantages for the children.

LUTHERAN BAZAAR
GREAT SUCCESS
PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE Az
FAIR CONDUCTED BY Y. II. 3.
OF ST. JOHNS CHURCH,
THURSDAY EVENING.

An unqualified success and
well-attended affair was the annual
Bazaar of the Young Peoples So
ciety of st. Johns Evangelical Lu-
theran church held last Thursday
evening in the church parlors,
Church street. The gross receipts
reached $345, and the net profits
will probably amount to more than
$500.
The decorations of the various
booths were especially beautiful, and
called forth many favorable com
ments. Small, colored incandescent
lights were used to excellent advan-
tage for decorative purposes. Red
poppies, purple, pink and white
chrysanthemums lent a truly holi-
day flavor to the scene.
To begin at the beginning. There
was first of all a Bakery Booth, u"
presided over by Mrs. Henry w.
Rehbein and Mrs. Frank p. Nc
Kama. Among the good things
purchaseable at this stand were
kuchen, lebkuchen, all kinds of
fancy cakes, homemade bread and
springerlies.
Mrs. John Cole and Miss Margar-
ct Eberhardt had charge of the
Doll Booth" A dolls house plan
ned by Mrs. Cole and Miss Eber-
hardt and built by John Cole and
John Carmichael was a feature OF
this booth. Dolls, "all dressed up
lovely" and everything that goes
toward dressing a doll, coats and
hats were quickly disposed of.
The Fancy Booth in charge OF
Mrs. Genung, Traceyville, Miss
Christina Seelig. was a mecca for
bent. Red poppies were charming

work, rich in doilies, laundry bags

shopping bags, and more things

was instructed to notify the Mail and
TRANSPORTATION committee of the ac-
ton of the board, and that it be
presented before the proper authori-
ties.
The question of the erection OF
modern dwellings in Honesdale was
referred to the finance committee.
AS the bylaws call for nomination
of officers a month prior to the jan
uary meeting, the following nomina-
tions were made:
President, C. J. Smith; vice-presi-
dent, F. W. Kreitner; 2nd vice-presi-
dent, Robert j. Murray; secretary,
E. B. Galloway; treasurer, Edward
Deitzer, the present incubent, and J.
Adam Kraft.
Bills to the amount of $3.50 were
ordered paid.
There being no other business of
Importance to transact, the session
adjourned at o'clock to meet the
second Friday of January, 1911.

the right to punish for such
misconduct, when brought to his
knowledge.
101. The teacher is to bestow
equal and impartial attention on
all children placed under his
charge; to be undertaking in ad-
herence to a firm, uniform and
moderate system of discipline, and
to pay most especial regard to the
morals, habits and generals behav-
ior, as well as mental instruction
of his pupils and their parents or
guardians should be sacredly re-
spected, sectarian instruction not
being the province of the school
teacher, but of the parent or
guardian, and the spiritual teach
er selected by him.
1O2. The teacher should govern
his school by appeals to the rea-
son and better feelings of his pu-
pills if possible. But teacher in
the common schools stands in the
place of a parent to pupil, and
may administer correction to him
under the same restrictions as in
the case of a parent.
" 103. The right of teacher to
inflict such punishment is founded
upon the necessity of the case and
not upon statute. 1t is absolutely
necessary that good order should
be maintained in the schools, and
that all proper rules, regulations
and commands of the teacher,
should be strictly and promptly
obeyed. Hence a necessity exists
for sufficient power to enforce this
duty, and therefore it is held that
the teacher may inflict such rea-
sonable punishment upon the pupil
as the parent might infiict for a
similar cause. 1t becomes the
duty of directors, therefore, to
sustain the teacher in their efforts
to preserve order and maintain
discipline in the school

Gently lived at Big Pond, according
to the New York Evening World,
who fell for the old arm game, of
paying money over to sharpers for
the purchase of saloon which they
hadn't the least claim to.
The World last Thursday told of
the arrest of Thomas Thornton,

in New York on the charge of hav-

According to the World the old game
was worked in the same skilled and
clever way.
a dapper stranger appeared in
Hawley the latter part of November
and lost no time in finding a citi-
zen who wanted to spread out. ="
He picked Define, who is moderate
ly wealthy as his prey.
Finally came the day when the
stranger could murmur: You don't
belong in a place like this, you be-
long in New York. It's hollering
for men like you"
Define fell for the bait.

And then came the confidential
talk The stranger knew of a sa-

from behind the bar.
For the love of Mike, where dC

I'm the owner of the place,

Thinking him crazy or intoxicat

to him by the reporter, that | ever

is continually little friction coming
up. If l tell boy to do thing he
has got to do it. That is my dis

1T is nothing uncommon for us
to straighten out affairs that happen

within the present school year,

Prof. Oday then read Article

Pennsylvania School Laws and De-

To the reporter whose acquaint-
