M From the Scranton, Pa, Repubttean)
Mr.. George E. Shafer, Of 1859 Won Storch
Avenue, Scranton, Pa, wears the honored
brown button of the Grand Army of the
Republic. He enlisted in Company A of the
Fifteenth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teer Infantry, at the outbreak of the war,
and after a year of service practiced his
trade, that of a machinist, with the army in
Tennessee. He is now member OF Griffin
Post, No. 139, of Scranton.
Mr. Skater was mere boy in those days,
and to-day he carries his SO years lightly.
He says he has had very little sickness dur
ing his life, although for number of years
past he has been troubled with dyspepsia
Q disability that may be traced to his camp
life and his constant work in the shops.
dyspepsia doesn't bother me much now,
though" Mr.. Shafer told a reporter.
"Pain-Killer was recommended to me, and
remembering its great efficacy in curing the
pains Of soldier life, tried it. Before that
suffered untold agony with that lump of
Lead that you have undoubtedly heard about
If you never experienced it. 1t is worse
than the lead from the musket of foe 1t
used to attack me at all sorts of times,
usually without warning. Before l began
to use Pain Killer 1 could find no relief ex-
cept to let it wear itself out and then be
careful about my diet. In fact, there was
nothing that could eat and enjoy with
out the danger Of bringing on an attack.
But now | have no trouble at ALL" con-
tinued MIR. Shafer. 81 eat what l please
and when | please, and enjoy the best Of
health. If the lump of Lead appears |
simply take two or three drops of Pain
Killer in a little water or milk, and it dis
appears instantly. The result is am never
without Pain-Killer, but always have it
with me wherever I CO."

THE O,BRIEN-BINNEY FIGHT.
The Lewiston Man Pulled Out a Well
Earned Victory.

A Rafting 14-Round Contest Before the
Charles Bank Athletic Club-O'Brien
Had His Man at His Mercy in the
Wind-Up.
Boston, Mass, February IS. - Dick
OBrten. the Lewiston middleweight,
scored well-earned victory over Ed
Binney, in IA rounds, ut the Charles
Bank Athletic Club meeting Binney
pioved to the 500 members present that
his heart is all right, and doubts as to
his gameness are rem owed. He did not
appear to have the snap he has shown on
other occasions, nor did he seem to put
any force into his blows. In only two
rounds did he show up better than
O'Brion. In these he did some very
effective work. O,Brien appeared inlbet-
ter condition than ever before in a con-
test in this city, but he did not box as
well as when he met Billy Smith.
Though Binney was taller and had a
longer reach, O'Briefi seemed able to
land either hand when and where he
wished. Most of the times he got away
without return. Only occasionally did
Binney counter him. but the blows did
not seem to aft feet O Brien. In the clos
iag round O'Brien went to work as II
determined to end the fight. He land
ed on Binney's jaw and bewildered him
which O'Brien was quick to see. He
followed it up in good shape until the
referee sent the men to their corners and
awarded the bout to O'Brien.

Interesting Points for SpOrtsmen'tO Con-
sider-Severe Restrictions
Under the latest Kansas game law
water fowl are the only species OF
game that may be killed, trapped or
ensnared lawfully. The act especially
prohibits the killing or taking at any
time of any partridge, prairie chicken n,
grouse, quail, pheasant, oriole, mead
owlark, redbird, mockingbird or blue
bird, except on ones own property.
1t is unlawful for any person or cor
pOration to buy or sell such birds, ex-
cept songbirds, and possession is
prima facie evidence of guilt.
The punishment is a fine of SIS
for every offense, costs and SIC
attorney fees. Birds of any kind may
be taken or killed if for the sole
purpose of preservation for scientific
purposes. The erroneous impression
has gone out that one may kill or take
any of the prohibited birds by permis-
sion of the owner of the property. On
this subject the language of the stat
ute is: provided, That no provisions
of this act shall apply or interfere with
persons who may have in their posses
sion or raise for sale any birds as pets,
or may at any time catch, kill or en-
trap any of the birds mentioned in
this section on his or her own prem
ises, controlled by such person for his
or her own use"
