VOGUE FOR BEADED BAGS.

Beaded bags are enjoying a most
pronounced vogue, principally in
high-grade goods, says the Dry Goods
Economist. Better-class departn ent
stores are devoting considerable space
to featuring these bags, and are show
ing them in all sizes and styles Ex-
quisite designs are carried out in
some of the more expensive models,
some embodying the rich Bulgarian
colorings, while others are cIeverly
wrought in the more delicate pastel
shades. Nearly all are mounted on
brass frames and have brass chain
handles. Vanity cases are also being
shown in solid beaded effects, mount

THANKSGIVING.

Thursday we will celebrate an
other Thanksgiving Day and on an
other page to-day the Citizen pub
fishes good and sufficient reasons
why Honesdale people should be
grateful for material blessings. Our
mills are busy.
So you, who have been struggling
along, perhaps, under a heavy load;
you who have had work aplenty,
should look ahead to happier days.
At all events, the year now closing
has been better from business
point of view, than the year before
and that, too, is something for which
to be thankful. Let us put frCm us
the gloomy forebodings with which
we all too often obscure an otherwise
unclouded sky, let us look cheerful
ly and confidently toward the future
and try to forget the past, for, as
Thomas Hardy once wrote:
eve ought to feel deep thankful
ness that happy Providence kept it
from being any worse"

THANKS!

Let me give thanks, not with word,
but with deeds.-Kormer
They say late thanks are ever
best-Lord Bacon.
Thanks are worthily due for
things unbought.-Ovid.
My dame fed her hens on thanks,
but they laid no eggs.-Old Proverb.
It's a rank courtesy when a man
must give thanks for his own.-Old
English Proverb.
And though I'll ebb in worth, I'll
flow in thanks-John Taylor
In everything give thanks.-1
Thess. V, 18.
Old thanks, old thoughts, old as
pirations, outlive mems lives and
lives of nations.-Swinlburn
To give thanks is good.-Swin-
burne.
He is ungrateful who expresses
his thanks when all witnesses have
eparted.-Seneca.
Some hae meat, and Gamma eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sac the Lord be thankit.

LIGHT.

The new process of making artifi-
cial daylight at night is quite simple
according to Arthur st. George
Joyce. All that is needed, he ex-
plains, are two color screens and a
strong incandescent light. Then the
artificial light rays are passed
through the screens, which draw out
the excess of colorings that are for
eign to daylight, and there remains
pure, true and unvarying daylight.
Various cabinets, lamps and lights
to produce daylight have been manu-
factured, but none have stood the
test, continues the writer. In this
latest invention a cabinet is employ
ed. This cabinet is constructed in
various sizes, but the one which is
most convenient is eighteen inches
deep, thirty inches wide and twenty
eight inches high.
An incandescent gas light is plac-
ed at the top of the cabinet. There
is metal reflector to throw the light
downward through the delicate
screens which filter out the rays of
red, orange and yellow which are
foreign to daylight except in a small
way. In order words, the screens
extract from the light excesses of
these colors.
The invention has a great field of
usefulness in surgery and certain in
dustries. Surgeons depend upon the
color of the tissues to tell whether
they are diseased or not. A great
deal of surgery is done at night. In
artificial light the tissues have not
their true color. The invention will
remedy that in that operations may
be performed by aid of daylight at
any hour of the night.
In textile manufacturing dyeing
and color printing, daylight at night
will have many uses. In color print
ing, for instance, the presses can be
run only as long as the ink put in
by daylight lasts. With the aid of
the invention presses can be run all
night. In the sorting of cigars it is
impossible to tell their color by ar
tificial light. Likewise in dental
work the exact color of artificial
teeth cannot be determined at night.
In paper manufacturing and in the
manufacture of flour daylight is
needed to differentiate the various
grades

THE NORTH POLE BOOK FREE
TO CITIZEN READERS.

The controversy over the Cook
Peary claims of prior North Pole dis
covery has broken out afresh, and
the fire will not die down now un-
til Congress, acting for the United
States government, has gone over
both claims in a way that shall at
least give DR.. Cook the benefit of a
square deal.
DR.. Cook has written one of the
most remarkable books ever pub
lished in which he gives in inciden-
tai detail
His trip to the Pole,
His return from the Pole,
His story of the ascent of Mt. Nc
Kinley,
Why he secreted himself for so
long and did not try to answer his
critics, etc.
In this book for the FIRST time
DR.. Cook tells his own story. The
DR.. has never made a confession" +"
and he tells in his book marvellous
story of suffering and injustice.
DR.. Cook is practically a Wayne
county man. His home is just across
the Delaware river in the town of
Callicoon. An air line from Homes
dale to Callicoon is only trifle more
than fifteen miles. That is one rea-
son why Wayne county people are
interested in their home man.
The Citizen publishes an adver-
tisement of DR.. Cooks book on an
other page. Only a faint idea of the
book itself is given in that adver-
tisement. The Citizen does not pro-
pose to sell the book outright, but
will actually give it away to NEW
subscribers who pay for a years sub
scription in advance, and to all OLD
subscribers who pay up all ar
rearages and one year in advance.
The book cannot be bought by
our readers from the publishers for
less than one dollar. Every mem

TARIFF BILL A FAILURE.

The Philadelphia Inquirer had the
following editorial on Monday con-
cerning the effect of the tariff on
the high cost of living:
Winter is coming on and our
sincere hope is that it may not prove
to be a rk-back-to-C o-Cleveland-ti times
Democratic winter Of discomfort.
Yet the outlook for a cheerful sea-
son for many thousands of wage
earners is not altogether brilliant.
For, truth to tell, the Wilson-Under-
wood near-free trade bill already
promises to be dismal failure.
Food is going up in price-and
with a Democratic administration
bespangled with glittering promises
ensconced in the White House, at
that!
Around Pittsburg the iron and
steel mills are reducing forces, go
ing upon part time or closing alto
gether. And this in spite of the
threats of a Democratic administra-
tion to investigate and punish just
such cases.
In Philadelphia there is reduction
of time in some of the textile mills.
Uncertainty is the factor, for the
tariff on wool is not removed until
December l and the duties on wool
en- goods are not reduced until a
month later. But wholesalers are
not laying in domestic stocks.
1t goes without saying that no
American manufacturer is going to
close down if he can possibly keep
his machinery running, but he has
got to face heavy importations from
abroad. If the wholesaler can make
more money by purchasing abroad
he will do so. He hasn't any senti-
mental notion about the American
mills.
1t must be beginning to dawn up
on the minds of many of those who
supported Wilson, or made Wilson S
election possible by following the
Roosevelt bolt, that the public has
nothing to gain from the tariff leg
islation. Food is coming in free
right now, but the contents of the
market basket are costing more than
a year ago. And if manufactured
goods from abroad come in at much
lower duties, it isn't the purchaser
that is going to benefit. The for
eign manufacturer and the importer
will divide the profit. The con-
sumner will pay just as much for
clothing, hosiery, gloves-for every
thing else that he buys.
So what has the country gained
by the change of administration?
An un-American, detestable. class

WAYMART SCHOOLS OPEN.

The diphtheria epidemic that
threatened the borough of Waymart
the last two weeks, has subsided and
now only two cases remain. These
are fast recovering and are out of
all danger, according to the state
ments of the physicians in charge of
them. Mildred Stephenson is much
improved and Fred Davis is recov-
ering nicely. No new developments
have been reported in a week and it
is thought that all danger of future
spread of the disease is past.
AS a precautionary measure the
schools and churches were closed by
order of the borough health officers
but the schools were opened again
on Monday and pupils resumed
their school work. Church services
were held in all the churches on
Sunday, the first since the breaking
out of the epidemic.
