was going south.
So sudden was the child's appear

was unable to bring the car to stand
still, though he made strenuous efforts
to do so. The fender struck the child
and hurled her in the gutter. Her
head struck a projecting stone, render

picked up by willing hands and con-
veyed to her parents home, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Nichols, of Watkins street.
A physician made an examination of
the child's injuries and found her to be
suffering from severe bruises She also
suffered much from fright. The at
tending physician was not able to state
last evening Just what the result of
the accident would be.

IF there is any other section of the
city who can follow the pace set by
West Scranton in response to the needs
uf the nation, II is still to be discover
ed. Not only have they talked patrio-
tism, but have acted periodically.
When 1t was necessary to recruit Conn
pany + up to the minimum standard
no difficulty was experienced in getting
the men. When it became apparent
that n second call would be made, the
spirit was just as strong, in fact
stronger, and the rejection of men, and
stories of hardship has not dampened
it. The West Side military company was
organized, Captain John II. Lewis COM
manding, with Albert Davis and Will
liam Luce, jr., as first and second lieu
tenants, respectively. over 80 names
were enrolled and the services of the

If life were one long summer day and its
journey through garden of flowers, II
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been toilless journey through garden
of flowers. Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health. Mans toll is
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman is
a still greater sufferer. She suffers in ST.
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease in a wouanly way. Motherhood
becomes to her menace of death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unfailing remedy for woni-
en- who suffer in this way II is Or. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. II acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. 1t makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic.
1t allays Inflammation, heals ulceration
soothes pain and tones and builds up the
tortured nerves II fits for wifehood and
motherhood 1t does away with the trials
of the period of apprehension and makes
baby'S advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands have testified to its marvellous
merits.

ness, but would not confess it for time" writes

ARTISTIC WORK.

There is on exhibition in the window OF
Hooper, Son g leighton two pictures.
which while very unique in the manner
in which they are framed, more especially
show that works of art can be had for the
home without great expense.
The large picture is five colored hunt
ing views all in one frame, and these
were taken from calendars issued by the
Winchester Repeating Arms company
during the past few years, and as they
are Autographed in the best manner from
drawings by the well known artist E. B.
Frost, they are artistic in every way.
The other picture lie made up of five re-
productions of drawings by Remington,
and these were taken from calendar is
surd by r. H. Russell g. Co.
These pictures belong to well kno wn
club man, who is an enthusiast in OUT
door sports, and will add materially to
the attractiveness of his den. The group
ing and framing was done by Mr.. II. A.
Over. manager for Mark L. Hill, and re-
fleets much credit on this well known
firm. which is turning out some fine
effects in the newest ideas in framing for
the holidays.
