Mrs. D. G. Phillips' and family, of PEACE. Four men across a table have settled the differences between Russia and Japan.

The conclusion they have reached is eminently reasonable. Japan secures that for which she fought. Russia escapes punitive damages. The terms are a fair measure of what Japan should win and Russia lose as determined by the arbitrament of the sword. The wonder Is that eminently reasonable conclusion could not have been reached without a war.

The same four men jnlght have been commissioned to counsel together while the two nations remained at peace. The same degree of reason and justice upon both sides might have reached the same determination to which the two empires now consent. The saving would have been millions of money, thousands of lives and suffering which cannot be calculated. One function of war, perhaps, Is to Induce the state of mind to be reasonable and just. Absolutely The New Idea Woman's Magazine for October has an inspiring article on "Women In Professions," by Miss Elizabeth Howard Westwood.

Miss West-wood runs over the field of those professions into which women enter, showing that they have not proved their capability. Speaking of the educational field, which is, as ever, one of those most entered by women, she says: "Some of the most remarkable educational work is being done by women In connection with the public schools. Miss Farrel, whose class of unmanageable children is well known, is little short of wonderful. Boys who have proved too much for school after school, teacher after teacher, never give her the slightest trouble. Children who have been given up as hopeless Idiots, learn to read under her tutelage, and take the first step toward fitting for a trade.

She is an enthusiast and an optimist, declaring that she had yet to see the child too stupid to become self-supporting, or too bad to be reached by kind, firm treatment." The New York Herald, of Wednesday, Aug. 30, contained the following dispatch from New Haven, which will be of interest to manv of our readers, will not hurt your foot if it properly fits it, You may 'have had that experience, if not you should come here the next time you want shoes. In selling shoes we don't sacrifice comfort for looks, we combine all the qualities comfortable, good looking, long wearing, the least possible price value considered. That may be saying a good deal, but our many years of experience in the business ha3 taught us how to do it. And we are furnishing lots of satisfied customers with just the shoes they want.

The next time you want shoes we would like to have an opportunity to convince you that it will be to your interest to buy shoes here. The best shoe values in the county are on our shelves and we just want the chance to convince you. J. K. SLAWSON, Tunkhannock.

14 promises, in its "Tribunal of Nations," to Introduce a pageant novelty of notable historic and spectular splendor and Interest. On a 'number of great ornato floats, drawn by sextuple blue ribbon teams of splendid thorough-breeds, are introduced representations of the most famous conquerors and kings of ancient and modern times, each living substitute in form, feature and costume being respectively a wonderfully accurate double of his or her prototype. For example, we may look upon Frederick the Greot ot Prussia, just as he is immortal ized in bronze just as the statue of blm presented to our couutry by his royal descendant, the Emperor of Germany, and reoently unveiled on the esplanade of the new war college at Washington. We may see, too, the counterpart of Napoleon as he appeared on the field of Austerlilz, or scaling with his army tho dreadful passes of the Alps, off Crosar, Rome's great dictator and Conqueror of the then known world, the Emperor of Austria, the Kings of Sweden, Spain and Italy, of Wilhel-mtna, the beloved young Queen of the Netherlands, and of others, arrayed in armor and royal robes.

GEO. WHITE, Warren Street, Tunkhannock. ct a 1 c- in JL 915 w. a about newspapers is Illustrated by a story a young man tells in Newspaperdom, of bis experience in starting a dally in a country town. An old doctor of the town was greatly Interested In the new venture, and subscribed for twenty-five copies of the paper to send to his friends.

At the expiration of the year, the newspaper man took his bill to the doctor, who was greatly surprised. "Why" he said, "you surely don't want me to pay for them. 1 just subscribed for them to help you out, and encourage you a little. I didn't think you. would be mean enough to charge me anything for them." When payment was insisted upon, he paid under protest, and became a sworn enemy of the paper and Its editor.

Another funny thing Is that many people who advertise think they ought to have the paper given them, and that many people who pay for the paper think they ought to advertise for nothing. The man whose subscription account is years behind Is almost invariably the one who asks the most favors, and gets offended it he is refused anything. The man who always pays promptly seldom asks for a favor, and does cot even look upon his patronage as a favor to the paper. He takes it because he wants It, and pays for It promptly because he transacts all of his business in that way. Luther son of Mr.

and Mrs. Chas. M. Barlow, of this place, came here about two weeks ago from Michigan to visit his parents. Last Friday he and Miss Jae McKown quietly repaired to the prothon-otary's office and procured a marriage license, after which they repaired to the home of the bride's mother, Mrs.

N. A. McKown, on Wyoming avenue, where they were united in marriage by Rev. H. H.

Wilbur, pastor of M. E. church of Tunkhannock, of which the bride was a member, in the presence of family relatives and a few friends. After the marriage ceremony a bountiful dinner was served and then the bridal couple were driven to the depot where they boarded the Black Diamond for a short wedding tour to Niagara Falls and thence to Deckervllle, Michigan, where Mr. Barlow is stationed as purchasing agent for Paul Billings Sons and where they will make their home.

Informed during his recent visit to Wilkes-Barre of the derivation of the city's name from Colonels Wilkes and Barre, famous American sympathizers, and the displeasure of the people that the postal department should have or dered the change of the spelling to "WUkesbarre," President Roosevelt said he would look into the matter and word was received lately announcing that the President had ordered the name changed and the postoffice department would hereafter officially recognize it as "Wilkes-Barre." There was a time when people here looked for Delaware or New Jersey peaches to supply them with that fruit for canning. That time seems to have gone by. The peaches now raised In this section are fine, better flavored and cheaper than the foreign ones, and besides they are shipped away In large quantities. The man who owns a peach orchard here now and looks after It makes more money out of It than he does out of many other crops that he raises.

The announcement that the Penn'a fish commission proposes to lu'roduce pellow perch into the streams of the State will be pleasing Information to those who love angling.
