\ circular pertaining to the use of
the green and red fusee signals on the
Northern, Southern and Bloomsbury
divisions, which were recently adopted
on the Delaware, IaCkaWanna and
Western railroad, has been issued by
Trainmaster Hamilton as follows:
Each conductor will make roquisition
on the undersigned and obtain one of
the standard signal cases and two
dozen green and two dozen red fusees.
The signal case is to be used by the
ilagman of each train and conductors
will see that the case contains four
green and four red fusees, a red flag,
and one dozen torpedOes, and that the
same is always ready for instant use
These fusees when lighted will burn
ten minutes ana should be so placed
that they will be readily seen by trains
following. They are to be used in con-
nection with other safety signals and
will operate as follows:
'Hhe green indicating caution and the
red danger.
Train finding the green fusee burning
ON or near the track win reduce speed
and proceed with caution for the dis
tance of one mile or until other signals
are passed indicating track is clear.
\ train finding the red fusee will stop

will proceed with caution for a dis
tance of one mile, or until other sig

at night,or in foggy or stormy weather,
must carry red and white lights and
signal case. A lighted red fusee Will
be left at night, or in foggy or stormy
weather by a flagman in addition to
the torpedoes required by rule when he
is recalled by the whistle of his engine,
as prcCaution while he is returning to
his train. This does not in any way
modify Rule of general instructions.
Trainmen who are not familiar in the
use of fusees and the manner of light
ing them will be instructed by calling
at this office. Any fusees found to be
imperfect or failing to burn should be
reported to the trainmaster, and when
practicable same should be sent to this
office with an explanation of the defect
so found.
Trainmen are expected to use judg-
ment in the use of fusees and not use
them unnecessarily or carelessly. When
thrown from the rear of trains they
should be directed in such manner as
to stand or light on the right-hand
track or outside Of it and not on or
near the opposite track.
The red fusee is not in use on the
NJ & z. division. The main line train
men running over NJ. & f.. division will
be governed by the instructions issued
by the officials of that division in re-
lation to fusees and their use.

BELDEN,s COON HUNT.
A Melrose Farmer Bring Down |
Strange Game.

Strange Game.
Special to Tho Scranton Tribune
Susquehanna, Nov. lion wednes-
day evening a farmer named Belden,
residing near Melrose, went out with
his dog for a coon hunt, and when near
Stevers' Point, the dog started some
thing. and after starting 1t for short
distance. treed his game In a tall ash.
Belden walked about the tree several
times without discovering the animal,
which he supposed to be a raccoon. but
presently discovered 1t crouched in the
fork OF tree, about twenty feet from
the ground
There was a good light, which en-
abled him to draw a bead upon the
COON" and he sent in that direction
a load of shot, which was followed by
a startling screech, and the half fall
ing, half-scrambling descent of the evil
IDENTIFY injured game. As soon as 1t
reached the ground the dog sailed in,
but he was Immediately sent yelplng
from the scene by q powerful blow
from one of the paws of the animal,
which proved to be a full-grown Wild
cat, Of the male persuasion.
Beden at this juncture gave the
beast the contents of the other barrel
of his gun, and finally killed It with n
club. The cat was a big one. weigh
ing about forty-five pounds. This spe-
cies of game, which is really the Ameri-
can lynx, and not a wildcat" is quite
common In midwinter. but are rarely
seen at this season of the year.

GET YOUR SHARE.

Are you getting your share Of the
vast amount of money spent in adver-
tising? 1t used to be all given to the
publishers of newspapers and maga-
zines, but by the latest method it is
freely distributed among the people
themselves; that is, among those who
are alert and quick, and can see an ad-
vantage when it is offered them.
One of the most successful establish
ments in America, the Woolson Spice
company, of Toledo, Ohio, is spending
thousands Of dollars in advertising
their Lion Coffee, and they are paying
out this money directly to the people
who purchase the coffee. Their plan
is to enclose in their one-pound pack
age of Lion Coffee a most attractive
Premium List. SO costly are some of
the articles on this Premium List that
one wonders how they can afford to
give them away with their goods; but It
must be remembered that these pre-
miums are bought in enormous quanti-
ties and bought directly of the manu-
faCturers, so that they are secured at
about one-fOurth the price the retail
consumer pays. No profit is paid to
shipper, wholesaler or retailer; the
goods are all bought at first hand.
This method Of introducing Lion Cof-
fee is as if you wanted to purchase
some article for which you would have
to pay $1OO; the proprietors of Lion
Coffee buy it for you for 25c., and then
give it to YOU for the trouble that you
take in letting them know you are
using their coffee.
l.
value of her patronage may now, by a
little trouble, secure many desirable
articles from time to time at no cost.
| All that she has to do is to cut out and
! preserve the Lion head which appears
on the wrapper of every package Of
Lion Coffee. These lion heads are re-
ceived by the Woolson Spice Company
/ in pay for their premiums.
The New Premium List which has
Just been issued in connection with Lion
| Coffee is unsurpassed in it's liberality.
| Some of the most attractive articles
on the market today are included in
this list.
1t is evident that the Woolson Spice
Company places great value on the rec
ommendation Of a satisfied customer,
| for they believe the best advertising
of Lion Coffee is where some one who
uses 1t tells friend of it's good quality.
1t is mostly in this way that it's enor-
nous sale has been brought about.
Many people are so delighted with II
that they feel it duty 20 recommend
II to their friends, and as every pack
age contains Premium List with full
instructions for securing the articles
offered, there is much interest in
buying Lion Coffee for household
use. Really Lion Coffee is almost
unsurpassed in It's quality, and
1t is a mystery how it can be
sold for such low price. II is bet
ter than many other brands OF coffee
which cost two or three times as much
1t would seem as though the time was
approaching when every family would
be drinking this famous beverage. -
