Truth comes along, and says.
Wilt thou walk with Truth?' 4 will,
she replies. Charity, Charity for
Everywoman, l ask cries Truth.
The curtain rises on the last Act
which is laid in Everywoman's home.
Love has been there. A male chorus
sings.
When God made the world of Woe
Where mortals roam,
He built just one resting place
And called it Home.
When men sailed the sea of strife
He finds Just one pleasant port
And calls it Home,
God planted Heaven on Earth
And called it Home"
"EveryWoman comes in. She sees
some one in the chair by the fire. 1t
is Love, Truths son. Love is born
of Truth, she is told, and the reason
of suffering is to lead us to Truth.
Love lifts her up. Modesty knocks
and enters, returning when Love is
found.
And Nobody comes out and
speaks the epilogue, saying:
BE merciful, be just; be fair to
every woman. Her faults are
many!'
I'VE want to see the play now,"
confided several of the women to
Mrs. Friedewald s they passed out

the stairs. The seats in the High

Mrs. Friedewald will present Will

the play the reader will remember,
which created so much trouble at

and vegetables at the actors by way
OF expressing their disapproval of
its characterizations of the Irish
race.

ABNER G. HILL SUICIDES.

Abner G. Hill, a brother of Hon.
Joel G. Hill, of Lookout, Wayne
county, took his own life on No
vember 29, in Binghamton. Just
previous to his firing the shot that
took him out of the world he wrote
letter to his brother in this county
in which he said: "No one can real
ize my sufferings. l have not slept
three hours in the past three weeks,
and can only swallow a little LIQUID.
Yesterday the cancer ate through
the side of my face so that the liu-
uid is difficult to swallow
Mr.. Hill lived at Tioga Center,
and was to have undergone a sur
gical operation at Sayre on Thanks
giving day. He was certain he
would not survive the operation, and
sitting upright in his bed in his own
home he fired a bullet through his
brain, dying instantly. He was born
IN Otsego county, N. Y, on Dec. 15,
lS4O. He was soldier in the Civil
war. He was for a number of years
postmaster at Tioga Center, only re-
Gently resigning. 1t was while
carrying the funds of the Office to
his home in May, 1910, that he
was held up by footpad who fired
at him twice. Mr.. Hill returned the
fire once. At his first attempt to
fire his revolver failed to go off or
the Tobber would have been killed.
He was not seriously wounded. He
is survived by his wife, by a daugh-
ter, and by the brother, mentioned
above, Hon. Joel G. Hill.
Mr.. Hill enlisted in Honesdale
early in September, 1861, as a men,
ber of Company F, Fiftieth N. Y.
Engineers, captained by Portes c..
Gilbert, Honesdale. Almost the en-
tire command was recruited in
Wayne county.

ght in Wayne county, in their an

There is Berlin township, for in

Bsessed in that flourishing section.
bis year the books show that there
Re only 119 dogs in the Berlins,
Pur of whom are lady dogs, a net
Pcrease of 2S CANNES, or a fiat loss
twenty per cent. in the canine
bpulation. AS there are 333 tax
Pile residents in the Berlins, this
bows that only every other citizen
wns a dog.
In Cherry Ridge, the state of af-
j irs is not quite so alarming. And
Pt even in that garden spot there
a decrease of four bow-wows re-
brted. Last year 81 gentleman
.bgs and two lady dogs kept watch

What can be the matter? How
hn the alarming death rate among

hything to do with it? Has the

c. {. KNAPP DIES
IN W|LKES-BARRE
HOneSdaIe Mail Clerk
ASphyxiated
CLARENCE f. KNAPP. YOUNG
MARRIED MAN, FOUND DEAD
IN BED, TUESDAY MORNING
VICTIM OF SAD ACCIDENT,

Mail Clerk Clarence E. Knapp, mar
ried, aged 2S, of 329 Cliff street,
was found dead in bed at Mail
Clerk Myers house, Wilkes-Barre,
shortly before O'Clock, Tuesday
morning. His death was caused by
suffocation.
Mr.. Knapp was formerly in charge
of the carpet department at Menner
& Cos store. Last Winter he took
the Civil Service examination for
mail clerk, and made a remarkably
high average. Later he was ap-
pointed to route on the Delaware
and Hudson between Wilkes-Barre
and Nenevih.
Mr.. Knapp, it appears, left a call
for O'Clock, when he retired Mon
day night. Tuesday morning he
made no response to repeated
knocks at the door faint odor of
gas filled the hall. Alarmed by his
failure to answer the repeated calls,
the door was broken open, and the
room found to be full of gas. Ply
sic1ans were summoned who worked
over him for an hour. Their ef-
forts, however, were all in vain.
Just how the accident happened
no one seems to know. His wife
who lives on Fred Lords farm at
329 Cliff street, was prostrated
when she learned of her husbands
death. With her two little chill
dren clinging pitifully to her skirts,
she sits there unable as yet to COM
prehend the full extent of the awful
blow.
Mr.. Knapp was home to spend
sunday with his family as late as last
sunday. His widow, who was a Miss
Catherine Keller, together with two
children, a girl, Leona, aged 4, and a
boy baby, Duane, about year old,
survive. A brother, Frank Keller,
lives with the Knapp's on the Clark
farm.

There would have been iard-and-
fast monopoly Of fuel supply and trans
portation and a budding coal n lustry
as cruel to labor as that OF Pennsyl-
vania, too. But-there would have
been development.
The point is that the country is not
yet ready to receive and sustain large
influx of population, but for no fault
Of its own.
The time is coming when the call to
Alaska will be heard throughout the
country and the world, by young
men, gifted with pluck, ambition,
stout heart and sturdy legs. Many q
family of hard working farmers will
go there and acquire property Of value
and lay solid foundations Of prosperity.
But the time is not yet.
The point should be driven hard in
order that no one shall be misled. 1t
would be easy to get up stampede 70
Alaska. It would be infinitely cruel to
do 50 in advance Of conditions which
remain to be created by wise, far
reaching public policies.
Today Alaska is neither the rich
man s nor the poor man s opportunity
not the rich man s because the ma
ton has closed the door on land grab
bing so far as it is possible to Go 50
under present laws; not the poAr man :
because this land Of titantic dimcn-
sions calls for the expenditure Of vast
sums Of capital to prepare the way for
development.
Whose opportunity then?
The nation s.

ands on terms that shall yield them
abundant reward at the same time en-
rich the nation itself.

NATIONS OPPORTUNITY

William E. smythe, the Washington
correspondent of the United Press, who
was one of the newspaper correspon-
dents who made the trip to Alaska
with Secretary Fisher, thinks that the
national government should develop AL
aska. He says:
Is Alaska fit to live in? Or is it
simply an iceberg embroidered with
gold nuggets?
Most emphatically is Alaska a fit
country to live in. AS a matter Of fact,
if reduced to primitive conditions,
man could get livelihood easier there
than anywhere else, because Of the
abundance of fish and game.
At least 100000 people are living
in Europe under agriculture and fish
cries Doubtless the same will be the
case in Alaska at some future time.
1t must not be inferred that Alaska
is yet ready to receive the millions
far from it, 1t has the resources but
they are undeveloped. It has the sure
promise Of agriculture, but it is yet
experimental 1t has the potentially
Of thriving towns and Of one or two
great cities, but they remain to be
awakened into life.
Remember Alaska is only about
dozen years old as reality, Of the
American frontier Before the sensa
tional gold discoveries on the Yukon
it was known only for its seal and sal
mon and for one or two quartz gold
mines.
Moreover, the politics of the last two
national administrations have been dis
tinctly discouraging to development.
Time will show the wisdom and neces-
sity Of these policies, but that they OPP
Grated as a temporary drawback on
the development Of the country cannot
be denied
Alaska lies mostly north of 55 de-
grees. So does Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and half of Russia.
All these are countries of heavy rain
fall, Of long, cold winters, Of long
days in summer and short, dark days
in the winter. So is Alaska.
The northern portion of all those
countries except Denmark see the mid
night sun in summer and almost no
sun at all in winter. So also, does the
most northerly portion of Alaska.
But you should know that Alaska is
not only land Of stupendous size, and,
hence, of widely varying climatic con-
ditions, but that there are other con-
siderations that throw much Of it we'll
within the north temperate zone.
Alaska stretches west as much as
north. There are points in Alaska That
are more than half way to the Orient
from San Francisco.
Alaska also reaches an attenuated
arm away down the coast, cutting Of
great portions of British Columbia
from the sea. Much of the country
lies actually further north than you
have probably imagined. Finally, the
warm Japanese current laps the coast
for over 1000 miles and greatly modi-
fes the cold. The heavy rainfall and
long summers enhance the growth of
vegetation.
If six years ago the coal fields had
been handed over to the claimants,
and if they had promptly sold them to
the millionaire operators, there would
have been railroads, coal bunkers, ships
smelters and booming towns where
such things are not.

Three Creameries and Ships
Out Much Cream

That there is money in t'fussing''
with cows is being forcibly demon,
strated in Stutsman county. Besides
supplying three creameries, this coun-
ty is annually shipping out almost
100000 worth of cream. This is es:
timated fully twice the amount, of rev
enue derived from cream shipments to
distant centralizers a year ago. < ~.
For several months the creamery at
Medina was shut down for general re-
pairs and overhauling and the cream
shipments therefor were very large,
aggregating about $50; cans of cream
in April and May. But: so soon was
the creamery in operation that this
was decreased very largely, but when
the creamery began to grade cream
and pay a bonus for sweet, high-grade
cream the shipments from Medina fell
to less than 20 cans a month.
AT Buchanan, which has been not
ed all it's life for its mammoth wheat
farm, the matter Of shipping cream be-
gan early in the spring and has show.
ed the shipments Of $50 gallons of
cream. This doubled the next month
and again doubled in quantity in the
month following. For the last four
months that single station has sent out
an average in excess of thousand
gallons of cream a month.
In the last six months the county
has sent to other creameries than
those in Jamestown, Medina and

Five Carloads of Mitch Cows Will
Be Shipped Into Minot
Country

As a starting point in campaign to
build up the dairy interests in the vi
cinity of Minot, bankers of the Magic
City have agreed to ship in five car
loads of mich cows for distribution.
The cows will be furnished to farm
ers at actual cost, according to the
men behind the scheme.
T.. The bankers of Minot, believe that
dairying will give the farmers more
money all the year around than any
other industry and they are willing to
get the farmers started in that direc-
tion as soon as possible and on the
right track at the outset. With the
abandonment of the old one crop sys-
tenn and more attention to diversified
farming, the Minot country will be
rapidly built up, the bankers aver.
The cows to be shipped into this
section of the state will be brought
from Iowa or some other eastern state.
