"Say, Ma" said Billy, 81 think the
man who comes around to dump our
ashes is a real good Christian man."
What makes you think that, my
dear?" asked his mother.
"Well, ma" said Billy, yesterday
when he was at Mrs. Browns house,
he took up the ask barrel, and was
about to dump it into the ash cart
when the bottom of the barrel came
out and ashes fell all over him. He
was a terrible sight, but he didn't
get a bit angry. He brushed him
self off and then just sat right down
on the curb and told God all about
it."

READ AND SEE-HONEST YOUNG
MAN, LATE OF GERMANY, q,
FINDS LOST POCKEIBOOk,
AND THEREBY MEETS FAIR
YOUNG LADY.

That truth is stranger than fic-
.tion," is shown by this tale of how a
splendid young fellow, who came
from Germany to America less than
year ago, bringing his honesty"
with him, found a lost pocketbook,
returned it to the owner, and there
by met a fair young lady. The
Father of the girl related the story
to a CITIZEN man in these words
Lost!
"My daughter and her cousin came
home from store Saturday night. 1t
was showing gently, and the walking
was treacherous. She fell on the
ice; it dazed her little; she slid her
head along; not just a solid crack.
They picked up their bundles and
came into the house. Nothing came
of it. She slept pretty good.
Found!
"On Sunday afternoon in walks a
stranger young man-and he
asks me in broken English, if l
wasn't Mr.. So and So?' He hauls
out of his pocket portmanteau and
ne said if | knew this?" Yes, it
was my wife's or daughters.
We'll" he says, Il found this in
front of the house" That's my
daughters" l said.
Rewarded.

4 little reward, but he wouldn't take
it My wife made a lunch for him.
The girls went up to the funeral, but
he must take the money, said my
daughter and get himself cigars. '1t
was nothing" he said, "but what he
expected anyone would do for him
He wouldn't keep that money for
the world" so he wasn't going to
take it. Finally she insisted on it,
Most every young man smokes. He
said he'd take it, but he wouldn't
spend it for cigars, but would buy
keepsake to remember he had
found good people and friends.
"He was very honest. Only eight
months in this country. He speaks
English very well.
There was Sc or 81 in the pock

anything about her pocket book un

JOY DELICIOUS IN. w. TUR-
KEY" AND OTHER VIANDS TOO
NUMEROUS TO MENTION.

Everything was Martha Wash
ington" in Honesdale this week.
Meet me at the Martha" was the
common greeting, when friend met
friend along the Irving Boulevard.
Hundreds of people thronged the
spacious chapel of the First Presby
terian church, Wednesday evening,
where the annual Martha Washing
ton supper was held, to enjoy the
420 pounds of turkey furnished by
Daniel Brown, Lebanon township,
who has had the contract for furn-
ishing the piece de resistance of these
great social affairs for many years.
He raises turkeys just for this par
ticular occasion, and it is claimed
is the originator of the Martha
Washington turkey which excels in
flavor the far-famed Rhode Island
fowl. He delivered them dressed
this year, receiving compensation for
them at the rate of 35 cents a
pound, or total of $147.00.
Mrs. John E. Krantz had charge
of the supper arrangements. Serving
with her on the committee were:
Mrs. E. T. Smith, Mrs. c. NJ. Betz,
Mrs. Emma Taylor. The table COM
mittee consisted of Mrs. E. c. Num-
ford, chairman, Mrs. Edward w.
Burns, Mrs. NJ. Lee Braman, Mrs.
julius j. Smith, Miss Emma Brown.
Mrs. Charles L. Bassett, Mrs. w. H.
Hawken had charge of the candy
booth. They were assisted by Mrs.
Judson Yerkes and Miss Bessie
Swift. The decorations were in wis
taria, lavender being the general
color scheme employed throughout.
The table decorations were ''cut
glass candlesticks with lavender
shades.
The church women made all the
flowers themselves, under the direc-
tion of a decorating committee COM
posed of Mrs. Harry Rockwell, who
was assisted by Mrs. Carl F. Prosch
Miss Sutton, Miss Jennie Lee, Miss
! Anna Seaman, and a large crowd OF
| helpers.
Fancy work was on sale at sever
al lattice-work booths, under the di.
rection of various committees. The
miscellaneous" exhibit had Mrs
John T. Fuller for it's chairman
Mrs. Martin Heft sold bags" Miss
Mary Mumford and Miss Mary Pen
warden explained the beauties o.
"jabots" to eager purchasers. Mrs
John Smith and Miss Isabella Pen
warden presided over the apron
booth.
The name of Mrs. William Seit
should be added to the Fancy Worl
committee. AS THE CITIZEN wa
going to press it was learned tina
about 600 suppers were served; tha
the gross receipts would probably ex
ceed $1,000, and that, it is claimed
the net proceeds would be betweel
500 and $500, $400 of which, it i
said, will be used in liquidating tn
debt on the church.

WHAT MAKES A CITY GREAT

What makes a city great and strong3
NOT architecture's graceful strength,
Nor factories's extended length,
But men, who see the civil wrong
And give their lives to make it right
And turr, the darkness into light.
What makes a city full of power?
Not wealth's display, nor titled fame,
Nor fashions loudly boasted claim.
But women, rich in virtues dover
Whose homes, though humble, still
are great,
Because Of service to the state.
What makes a city full Of power?
Not things that charm the outward
sense,
Not gross display Of opulence,
But right. that wong cannot remove.
And truth, that faces civic fraud,
And smites it in the name Of God
This Is a city that shall stand,
a light upon the nations hill
A voice that evil cannot still
A boundless blessing to the land
It's strength, not brick, nor stone nor
wood,
But justice, love and brotherhood
