Passenger and freight traffic is
rapidly increasing over the Delaware
& Hudson between Honesdale and
Carbondale. H.
Automobiles have started a
movement to have guideposts erected
at all unmarked highway intersec-
tions in country districts. They are
acting under section 6S of the high
way law, which provides that the
town superintendent may, with the
consent of the town board erect
such guideposts, with proper inscrip-
tions and devices. Five resident tax
payers of any town or 20 resident
taxpayers of a county in which it is
contained may, upon written applica-
tion to the town superintendent,
cause him to erect one or more posts.
The cost of the erection and main
tenance is to be a town charge.
The people living in the section
between Tyler Hill and Galilee are to
have star route daily mail. The
supply is from the Galilee carrier and
where the change is made to go
around by Bradley's Corners, making
the distance a little farther, but by
so doing it accommodates fifteen
families and over forty individual
mail receivers. On the abandoned
section there are but four families,
and two of these live close to the
western intersection to the old route
so that they may be served from that
point with very little inconvenience
to them. Damascus postoffice will
now be the distributing point for the
added patrons of this route.

How the Natives Treat eoriIIas

Natives In the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as hu-
man beings Of inferior types, and it is
for this reason that for long time it
was found impossible to get hold OF
an entire gorilla skin, because the saw
ages considered it religiously necessary
to cut off the hands and feet of the
animals when they killed them, just as
they do with their enemies, possibly
for the purpose OF rendering them
harmless in case they should by any
chance come to life again.

INDIGESTION DEPARTS
Stomach Agony and After Dinner
Distress stopped in Minutes.

Why should any sensible person
continue to suffer day after day with
terrible stomach ailments when G.
w. Peil guarantees MI-O-NA stom-
ach tablets to cure even the worst
case of indigestion, or money back.
If your stomach REBELS after eat
ing and food sours or ferments in
the stomach causing gas, pain, heart
burn, and heaviness, two MI-O-NA
tablets will drive away the misery in
five minutes and leave the stomach
feeling splendid.
A large box of MI-O-NA stomach
tablets costs so cents at G.. w. Peil
and leading druggists everywhere.
If you have stomach trouble of
any kind, start to use MI-O-NA stom-
ach tablets today. They not only
build up the stomach, but they act
as tonic to the enire body. They
are makers of rich, red blood and
nerves that never finch; they in
crease vitality and make the weak
more vigorous.

TONIGHT AT THE LYRIC.
Manager Dittrich Has Secured
Good Play.

Nothing could ingratiate a report
er more in the eyes of the manag-
ing editor than a scoop" Since
the first newspaper there has been
every kind of exclusive story but
in the comedy of THE Lottery
Man." a new comedy by Rida john
son Young, which the Shuberts will
present at the Lyric tonight use is
made of perhaps one of the most
novel beats" ever found in the
columns of the press.
The central figure in THE Lot
terry Man" is Jack Wright, news
gatherer. He is a warm friend OF
"Foxey" Peyton, who owns the pa
per, and when he gets a Wall street
tip, Wright goes to his chief for
money, promising as security, in the
event of failure, his pledge to turn
into the paper one of the biggest
stories New York has ever known,
AS the tip fails, Wright is compelled
to make good. This he does by Of
fering himself as the prize in lot
terry which is to be conducted by
the newspaper. Naturally the cou-
pons appeal mostly to women and
the campaign among the thousands
of contestants wakes warm. Short
ly after Jack has offered himself
as the human prize, he falls in love
with Helene Heyer, which fact
causes him to deeply regret his en-
try into such a foolish scheme.
This in main is the thread of the
delightful story that Rida Johnson
Young-author of Brown of Har-
ward" by the way-has woven in
'The Lottery Man." which after its
long run at the Bijou theatre, New
York, comes here with a capital
company.

VIII Political Parties Some Day be
Known by Color?

In Wisconsin political parties are
now compelled to choose colors for
their primary ballots. The secretary
of state decides the question by lot.
The Prohibitionists have already
drawn pink, the Democrats red, and
the Republicans green.
If this system grows and spreads
into other states with the evolution
of the direct primary idea, parties
Will come to be known by their col
or designation. The men who "al-
ways vote red or stand by the
green will become as common al
lusions of campaign oratory and
song as similar phrases now are in
lingo of college rivalries and loyal
ties. Since such momentous conse-
quences are involved, why should
not each party choose it own color,
with an eye to appropriateness, on
the first-come-first-serv theory.
Let them draw lots for order of
choice, if there is to be any lottery
element in the affair. Let the So
cialists have red; the Prohibitionists,
from their afiiliation with the white
ribboners, might as well take white
AS for the Republicans and the Dem
ocrats, If any adequate difference
between the color of the elephant
and the donkey were discernible it
might be well to emphasize and per-
petuate the delicate thought behind
these graceful symbols. If the in
surgents ever become a party the
color question will be still more diff
iicult, since they have not even gone
so far yet as to select an animal for
emblematic purposes. How much
harder for them to fit into the color
scheme!

The following eminently sane
and sensible suggestion is from the
Peckville Journal: Quite a number
of our citizens have been humbug-
ged into buying some worthless ar
ticle from the agents or fakirs that
are so numerous, by slever scheme
they have of visiting the home OF
some of our prominent citizens first,
and then, whether a sale is made or
not, going about town and claiming
that their goods are recommended
by this or that prominent lady and
telling how much they bought. This
Is simply scheme to sell their stun
and has no foundation in truth. The
best way to avoid being taken in by
these fakirs is to have nothing to do
with and buy direct from some rep
utable dealer. We do not mean to
carry the idea that there are nc
honest canyassers, but when you
buy of strangers and are worsted in
the deal don't blame your neighboT
on the ground that she recommend
ed them to you.

A Wonderful Railway.


The most wonderful railway in the
world will be completed. If ali goes well,
in the course of the next week or two.
1t is the first line to be carried across
the continent of South America, and II
has taken over 80 years to build. But
its chief interest lies in the immense
elevation it reaches iii crossing the
Andes.
Here the passenger will be literally
and actually travelling above the clouds.
At one point 1t scars to a height Of
$500 feet, more than 1000 feet higher
than the world-famous Great St. Ber-
nard Pass.
The Atlantic terminus is at Buenos
Aires in Argentine. the Pacific at Val
paraiso in Chile, both tropical towns;
vet the line runs for hundreds of miles
through region of eternal snow And
ice.
Avalanches sweep the track at inter-
walls at these immense attitudes. So, in
order to protect the trains, sloping
wooden sheds, enormously strong, have
been built at these points. Under them
engine and carriages will be able to
travel in safety, even while the snow
slides are actually laundering over
head,
Among the other wonders of this most
wonderful line are a spiral tunnel, abb
solutely unique of it's kind. that cost

stretches of solid permanent way over

stitutes a natural bridge.-Pearson' s

IntanoibIe Sn,artness.

Smartness is a subtle quality, not TO
be attained by mere beauty, or by eX-
uuisite dress and faultless surround
ings. Chesterfield was an ugly little
man; but who could deny him smart
ness of the first water? To be smart IL
is essential to be amusing, ana 70
amuse is difficult without flavor OF
eccentricity-the something original
daring, hors ligne, which duller people
talk about and princes admire.
All the really smart people have
been originals, and have liked to make
the common herd wonder. In dress,
in manner, in language; in conouct
they are always astonishing. TO be
leaders they have to devise new things.
They must give the note, and not take
it: and as their whimS and manners
and turns of speech are initiated pS
the idle rich almost as slavishly as
their carriages, houses and clothes
they must be Protean in their trans
formations, and must leave the herd
baff1ed and wondering.
EcIat reclame, never to be out OF
the public mind, are imperative Ior
those leaders of ton who within the
last 80 years have labeled themselves
smart an adjective that 40 years ago
was associated only with the SUNDAY
clothes of housemaids, and was seldom
spoken by polite lips.
OF. course, there are other signs OF
smartness besides those two leading
characteristics. The smart set have al
most as many marks as the Buddha-
hair arranged in particular way az
a particular time, altered with magl-
cal simultaneousness the instant Wes'
Kensington has the hang of it; gowns
of q special cut--it is the "cut" smart
people pay for, not the fabric; fan OF

particular perversion of the English
language; a new adjective. new dog

shibboIeths that the outsider has to
master if he wants to be "of them" AZ
well as with them. And he can never
be quite, quite like them. The smart
