Such a Smart Dog.

A certain young lady living on Spruce
street, between Ninth and Tenth, is the
proud pngsessor of handsome red Irish

as he is handsome. Recently the young

and the dog, for a walk. and found,
that she had forgotten her rubbers. Not
wishing to return for them she called
the dog, and, pointing to her friend 5
rubbers said:
"Go home and get them
well" said the admrng friend, IL

Couldn't Hear the Music.

Colonel Brown WAS a mighty fox hunter
and loved the sport beyond words. lie
owned fine pack of hounds, and, during
the season, thought of nothing but his
hunters, his dogs, and the weather lie
was once entertaining a friend from
America, whose ideas of hunting any an-
imal involved the use Of firearms, and
who had never seen fox hound. lie
had been with difficulty persuaded 10 so
forth one morning with the colonel and
some friends to "A meet and they were
waiting impatiently for the hounds to
take the scent. Presently there burst
upon their listening ears the din Of thirty
canine voices in fun cry The colonel 5
eyes CLEANED. and as he settled his feet
in the stirrups and stretched his arm to-
wards the yelping pack, he cried:
Major, listen To that heavenly music"
The major pricked up his ears for a Sec
ond or two, and then replied:
II can't hear a thing, those dogs are
making such a noise"
The colonel put his spur savaeely into
his horses side, and dashed away, leaving
his guest to his own devices.-lIarper' s

the world over as rajnc's celery compound,
a positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness,

again and again where everything else has

Copies of the Curtin act providing
for the polling of the vote OF Penn
sylvania soldiers who are in the field
in tho service of the United States or
the commonwealth were received yes
terday by Prothonotary Copeland,
Sheriff Pryor and A. B. stevens, the
commissioner appointed by Governor
Hastings to supervise the taking of
the vote of the Thirteenth regiment.
The following are some excerpts from
the act, showing its general tenor and
effect:
"A poll shall be opened in each COM
pany, composed in whole or in part of
Pennsylvania soldiers. and it shall be
located at the quarters of the captain
or other officer thereof, and all elec-
tors, belonging to such company, who
shall be within one mile of such quar-
ters on the day of election, and not
prevented by orders of their command
Crs or proximity OF the enemy, from
returning to their company quarters,
shall vote at such poll and at no other
place, officers other than those of a
company. and other voters detached
and absent from their companies, or
in military or naval hospital, or in any
vessel or navy yard may vote at such
other polls as may be most convenient
for them; and when there shall be ten
or more voters at any place, who shall
be unable to attend any company poll
or their proper place of election as
aforesaid, the electors present may
open a poll at such place as they may
select, and certify the proceedings in
the poll book
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-11-03
SOME OF THE DETAILS.

SOME OF THE DETAILS.
THE polls shall be open at least three
hours.
THE electors present shall choose
three judges of election. The judges
of election shall appoint two clerks and
prepare suitable ballot boxes. The
judges of election may. and. upon chal-
lenge, shall. examine any applicant in
respect to his right TO vote.
Separate poll books shall be kept,
and separate returns made for the voters
of each city or county; the poll hooks
shall name the company and regiment
and the place, post or hospital in which
such election is held.
Each ticket shall have written or
printed thereon the names of all the
officers which may be properly voted
for at said election. for which the said
elector desires to vote.
1.-TWO of the judges, on making the
count shall read the ballots and the
third shall string the vote for each
county upon a separate thread.
The judges shall transmit one of the
poll books, tally list, returns and tickets
to the prothonotary of each county
represented by voters.
Not more than one commissioner
shall be assigned to any one regiment.
He shall be allowed ten cents a mile
for each mile travelled by the generally
Travelled route from his home TO the
camp and return. He shall deliver
copies of the act and tickets to the
election officers and shall have general
supervision over the election. One of
the poll books of each polling place
shall be turned over to him and he
shall return il to the secretary of the
commonwealth. lie shall also deliver
copies of the sheriff's proclamation to
the staff officers and company COM
manders.
CAN VOTE BY PROXY.
where a voter is one of a detail of
less than ten voters who are not able
to reach their company or regular poll
ing place, he may deposit his vote in a
sealed envelope and give it to a quail
fled elector Of the district in which he
votes, to cast for him by proxy. This
vote is subject to challenge the same
as if the voter was present.
"A poll tax of ten cents is imposed
on every Pennsylvania soldier in the
field at the time of an election, but he
shall be exempt from all other person
al taxes. Election officers receive no
compensation"
Where there is a conflict between the
Curtin act and the Baker ballot law
the more recent law will, of course,
obtain. The only conflict is that bal
lots of the present blanket style will
be substituted for the old fashioned
folder ballot.
The act does not apply to the election
of councils or ward and division officers
| in the city of Philadelphia.

When a business man gets to the point
where he cannot sleep at night, where he is
so shattered of nerve that it is torture to
even remain in his bed, and he has to get
up and pace the hoor-it is time for that
man to bring himself up with a round turn
If he does not, it means nervous prostration
and mental, if not physical, death.
For a man who gets into this condition
there is a remedy that will brace him up,
put him OH his feet and make a man Of him
again. 1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t goes to the bottom of things.
1t searches out the first cause. When a
maj is in this condition you can put your
finger on one of two spots and hit that first
cause the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. 1t promptly transforms a weak stom-
ach into a healthy one. 1t facilitates the
flow of digestive juices and makes diges-
ton and assimilation perfect. 1t gives a
man an appetite like a boys. 1t invigor-
l~ife-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
the elements that build new and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
we'll and strong. 1t builds firm, muscular
flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve
Gbers. 1t pats new life, vigor and vitality
into every atom and organ of the body. 1t
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.

Commitments After Death,

There is a German proverb which says:
Man DART nur sterben um gelobt ~ wer-
DEM eve need only die in order to get
praised). This, we cannot help but adj
nit, is fairly true in a general sense, and
If we required any proof or confirmation
the epitaphs in cemeteries, churchyards
and churches would readily furnish it.
Indeed if we had no other testimony to go
by than these pious inscriptions we might
almost fancy that men and women had ar
rived at such a state Of perfection that
they were little less than angels.
: Death, like time, is a great healer Of
wounds, a great soother Of passions, Il
great calmer of turbulent thoughts, u
slayer of ennlity. He is the peacemaker
par excellence, having caused the saying to
gain general currency that we should say
nothing Of the dead but what is good.
Among the laws of the "Twelve Tables"
compiled by the Decemviri, there was one
which, in fact, forbade to speak injurious
ly of the dead. 1t is in exchange for this
doubtless that we are always doubly anx-
ious and ready to vilify the living. West

The Wealth of Cuba.

If Uncle Sam should, in the interest
humanity, add Cuba to his domains,
would almost double his wealth. With
Cuba under a stable government and
fully cultivated, Uncle Sam would soon
control the worlds markets for four
great staples-tobacco, sugar, coffee and
rice. 1t seems a shame to abandon this
rich island to an alien race. 1t is a
greater shame for a man to bando
his stomach to the ravages OF disease.
TO strengthen the stomach take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t is just
the thing to stimulate the appetite. 1t
will overcome dyspepsia. If there is
constipation it will establish regularity
of the bowels. 1t makes the nerves
strong and steady, and gives restful
slumber. There is no substitute for it.

CUBAN E
joyable, as the heat during that period
is never excessive. Unless in the upland
regions the summer eason is extremely
enervating owing to the intense heat
and the unhealthy steaming miasma
caused by the inoessant rains. In some
portions Of the forests unwholesome
malarial vapors arise from the rank
vegetable strata, and the lagoons and
marshes are sometimes hidden for days
by a dense, deadly, white pail of fog.
But Notwithstanding these disagree
able features it would be quite possible
to enjoy good health in Cuba. Much Of
the disease which prevails there is pre-
ventable and would disappear or at
least be greatly mitigatod were the in
habitants to pay proper regard to the
laws of health. The people of Cuba,
Spaniards included, are not clearly and
seem to regard a batbtub with horror.
