His weekly in- come now was 80 francs, or $16, which was twice as much as he needed for his support. All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils. At the end of the first year he could count dollars in his pocket by the hum dred. Meanwhile, having managed to pick up some scraps of German, he de-

OLYPHANT.

A lengthy session of the council was
held on Monday night. 1t was a spec
ial meeting. The greater portion of
the evening was consumed in passing
numerous bills, which We're the subject
of much debate, in which Messrs. Gal
lagher and Howard figured prominent
ly, A petition was read, from a num-
Der of taxpayers living near the Della
ware and Hudson depot and Bell street,
asking that council build a sewer in
that section of the town to connect
with the sewer of the First district. A
similar petition was received from the
residents along the West side of Lack
awanna street from Lloyd's court to
the river bridge. The matter was re-
ferred to the street committee with in
structions TO draw up an ordinance
and to have it ready at the next meet
ing. A spirited debate ensued between
Messrs. Howard and Gillespie on the
question of hiring men for street work.
Howard stated that Gillespie had
showed too much favortsrn in putting
men to work on the roads and that as
chairman of the light committee he
had gone beyond his power Howard
then introduced a resolution, which was
carried, that the street commissioner

If you are sick and doubling you are
invited to write to DR.. pierce, with
out fee or charge of any kind. DR..
Pierce has for over thirty years been
chief consulting physician Of the In
valid's Hotel and Worlds Dispensary,
at Buffalo, New York. In that time he
has treated half million cases, with
the result that only two out of every
hundred have failed of perfect cure,
and even many of those have been
greatly benefited. If you belong to the
ninety-eight per cent. of cases which
DR.. Pierce has proven to be durable,
you can do no better than to ask his
opinion of your case. Ask it at once,
for in disease delays are very danger
Gus. Every letter is held as strictly
private and sacredly confidential Write
without fear as without fee.
There's no law to prevent any dealer
telling you that something else is Just
as good" when you ask for Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. There's no
because it is not true. There is no
medicine known that has such a record
of cures as the Discovery"
There's no law against your accepting
such q substitute, Just as good" medi-
cine from your dealer, and there ought
not to be one. If the law of common
sense won't protect buyer from de-
ceit, then no other law could do it. No

trying to make little extra profit by
selling a cheaper and inferior article,
but which makes him few cents more.
If you go for Discovery" get dis

There was once a man who tried to
sell gold guineas on London Bridge,
England for penny apiece, and hard
ly made a sale all day. People wouldn't
believe the guineas were real gold. 1t
was too good to be true. Doubtless
some people are deferred from writing
for DIR. Pierce's great gift of the Peo-
pies Common Sense Medical Adviser,
believing that a book of zoos pages and
containing over 700 illustrations, can't
be given away. But it Is So And peo-
pie who receive it find it more valuable
than a golden guinea, estimating 1T as

CONDEMNED BY JUDGE
IGNORANCE.
A Grand Jury Sets Aside
the Verdict.

a man stands on the scaffold He is
innocent of crime. but ignorance has
linked him with criminals in such a
way that evidence is against him. He
turns to look his last on the sun and
the sky, Somehow there comes back to
him the thought of how the sun shone
in his bedroom window in boyhood.
With a smile he turns to meet his fate.
Stop! There is cry; a growing roar
as the sound of many waters. The
great sea of humanity about the scaf-
fold breaks into tumultuous waves.
And through that sea a rider wades
holding on high a parchment. while
about him grows ever louder the glad
cry of one word-"reprieved." The
man can hardly realize that he is to-
live and not to die. He has for weeks
been watching the slow advance Of
death, a step nearer with every tick OF
the clock. with every beat of the heart

READ WITH GREAT INTEREST.

The exclusive news regarding the
tunneling of the Moosic mountain
published in Mondays Tribune was
read with great interest. The posi-
tive assertion that surveying is being
done along tunnel lines dispels the
idea prevalent that the project was
mythical. There is no certainty that
the underground railway will run from
Waymart toward the EdgertOn col
llery but the feasibility Of this route
appeals to all minds familiar with the
territory of that section.
