The following story from Wide Awake is not new, but it's truth, is gouched for, and it's lesson is so clearly taught and so important that isis worth repeating
 Two men once stood at tho same table in 9 large factory in Philadelphia. Hay. ing an hour for their incoming every day, each undertook to use it in accomplish ing definite purpose; each perseyere3 for about the same number of months, and each won success at last
 One used his daily leisure hour in working out the invention of a machine for saving q block of wood into almost any desired shape. When his invention was complete, he sold the patent for 2 fortune.
 The other man, what did he do? Well, he spent an hour each day during most of the year in the very difficult task of teaching a littlo dog to stand on its hind feet and dance a jig To be sure he succeeded, but what then? At last accounts he was working ten hours a day at the same trade and at his old wages, blaming his luck for the hard fate that kept him poor, while his fel. low workman had become rich.

of the Second Lackawanna district has
completed his report for the year end
ing Dec. 81, 1896, and 1t has been trans
mitted to the state authorities at Har-
risburg. 1t is not accompanied by any
suggestions or recommendations as the
new inspector felt that he should gain
a thorough knowledge of the condition
of the mines in his district before at
tempting anything of the kind.
Mr.. Prytherch' sreport shows that dur
ing the year 1896 $685. ,669 tons of coal
were mined in his district and 1858 men
employed by the various companies.
The number of fatal accidents in his
district was 80 which shows that 151 III
tons of coal were mined for each life
lost. The total number of accidents of
all kinds was 200 an average of 29.47S
tons of coal mined for each accident.
The following table shows the number
of tons of coal mined by each company
and the number of men employed:

opponent, Joseph Hall, received IS

two years received 81 votes, and his
opponent, George Ries, received 76
votes. James Caygill school control
Ter for three years, received 81 votes,
and Francis Simms. his opponent re-
ceived 10 votes. Fred Refs, school d-
rectir for two years, received SO votes,
and his opponent, Il. Eley, 81 votes.
The commissioners, John E. Wat
kins and II. w. Mulholland reported
that seven illegal votes had been cast,
two votes not having been natural
lied and five not having paid a state
and county tax within two years prior
to the election. Both sides made ex-
ceptions to the commissioners findings
and the arguments yesterday were on
these findings.
Judge Stanton presented the evidence
as taken by the stenographer at the
hearing and pointed out where there
were many more illegal votes cast than
the commissioners reported The evil
dence, as presented by Judge Stanton,
would indicate that the Baker ballot
law must look like a sieve when the
Second ward of Dickson City gets
through with it on election day.
In addition to their report of the
hearing and findings thereon, the COM
missioners notified court that it was
impossible for them to comply with
the order of February 8, directing them
to procure and preserve the ballots cast
at the election in question, as they We're
destroyed on the morning of the sue
ceeding fall election.
Judge Stanton says this will not seri-
ously affect the contest as there is sec
ondary evidence of the desired nature
in the admissions of the witnesses at
the hearing as to how they voted.
