HON SCALE,

a runaway that might have proved
fatal occurred here about 10 a. m. yes
terday. A team OF horses owned by
William Bubster. of Cherry Ridge. were
tied In front of the postoffice. The wag-
on to which they were hitched was
large and heavy and contained empty
milk cans. The horses became fright
ened b ythe passing on the sidewalk of
boy driving goat and made frantic
dash, breaking the halter and turning
down Main street at Il terrific speed.
The road was filled with wagons of
every description. a woman and q boy
were coming up street in IA small wagon
and were directly in the way of the
runaway team, and as she turned
sharply to the left 1t seemed as II
she must be run down and probably
Killed. People on the street stood
hreathless as she raised her whip and
struck the horse she was driving. The
horse leaped forward carrying the oc-
cupants out Of danger, but with only a
hairs breadth to spare. on dashed the
horses and made direct for a team at.
tached to an ice wagon. In front of
Katz Brothers they dashed on the side
walk, and would have smashed the
large. plate glass front of the store but
for the kindly Intervention of a tele-
graph pole, which the wagon couldn't
go through and in an instant the horses
and wagon were separated but brought
to q standstill. The wagon had become
so firmly attached to the pole that It
was some time before 1t could be re-
moved. A few moments before this a
horse owned by Mr.. Weidner ran up
Main street, but was stopped by Dray-
man kimble, who Is an expert at STOP

BASE BALL TEAM.
The Local Organization VIII Buy and
Maint0ia the Cluh.

The Local Organization Win buy and
Maintaia the Club.
The stockholders of the Carbonate
base ball club came together Monday
night In the board OF trade rooms and
goodly number were present. The
object Of the meeting seem to be to de-
eide the future prospect of the cluO.
The financial prospects were thorough
ly locked into. and il was found that
unless the sum of $1,000 was forthcom-
ing. the club would have to be sacri-
feed and Carbondale would be minus
team.
So enthusiastic was the feeling for
the retention of a club. that another
appeal was made and a soliciting COM
mittee appointed to urge delinquent
stockholders to pay their assessment.
1t is to be hoped that they will pay up
and that others will come to the res
cue.
However. if sold. 1t will not go Ia
Mobile, as their offer has been with
drawn.
The feeling was intense when II had
become known that Judge Archibald had
refused the charter. But Attorney But
Ter thinks it can be rectified and get
the sanction of our judges.

1t has been recently stated that not

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three thousand times 1t own weight of
lean meat. eggs. oatmeal and similar
wholesome foods.
The tablets act wholly. upon the food
taken into the stomach, disesting 1t
thoroughly no matter whether the
| stomach is in good working orde: or
not, and cure all forms OF dyspepsia
and stomach troubles on the common
| sense plan that they nourish the body
and rest the stomach at the same time.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels like the old-fashioned
after dinner pills; nor are they an arti-
ficial stimulant like stomach bitters." "
nor are they In any way similar to so
called pre- -digested foods which consist
OF IS per cent OF glucose" the stun

Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets do what
none Of these do. they act wholly upon

fact, because the food being promptly

stomach. fermenting, decaying. filling

but Is assimilated, nourishing and in
visorating not only the body and brain,
but the stomach itself. as well.
The tablets are absolutely harmless
and can be given and are given with
benefit to little children and infants suf-
fering from indigestion. as shown above
they contain no mineral poison. nor
anything In any way injurious.

..mHOW BE YE, JIM2"

''IIcw be We, Jim!" That sunny voice
Comes back through the misty years,
And see the grace of an old mans face
Smile up through his happy tears.
Long time he strays down the quiet ways
Where the path is strange and dim,
But keep the cheer of his love and hear
His words: 'IIow be We, Jim?'
There came to me as comes to all
The voice of Purpose when
lost the joy of a careless boy
For the broad, bold world of men.
And the skies were glad or dark or sad;
My thoughts ran back to him
Till we met once more at the old home
door,
And he said: How be We, Jim?''
Sometime in the far off by and by,
When the years are old and gray,
shall wander down from the busy town,
Though that sweet and quiet way.
shall find the rills from the rose-crowncd
hills,
And drink from their blissful brim;
And the best of all, shall hear him call
And say: How be we. Jim?"
