Robert J. Clifford of the United
States secret service is a lucky man.
His chiefs think he is the most brill
liant young detective in the depart
mcnt, and perhaps they are right, but
his luck is proverbial, too, and the
combination is rapidly making his
fame.
His first great coup was the capture
and obstruction of the famous Laredo
counterfeiting plant, which was then
flooding Texas with silver dollars of
full weight and fine workmanship The
excellence of the imitation and the
true ring of the Illegal dollars were
the admiration and despair of the au-
thorities, and for months the best de-
tectivcs in the service tried and fail
ed To get trace of the Illicit mint.
Clifford was the third man sent To
Texas on the case, and he had little
reason to hope for success where old
or and more famous men had met
only disappointment. the night of
his arrival, leaving his luggage at the
station, he set out to find modest

ANDERsoN's SPLENDID WORK.
Local Pride Manifested in His
Standing in Educational Contest.

The fact that Garfield Anderson, OF
this city, the encgetic young man VINO
has fought and hustled his way To
third place i'm The Tribunc's cduCa-
tional contest. stands a good chance OF
winning the state Normal school
scholarship, is causing great deal OF
local pride to be manifested in the
contest. Carbonate is always jealous
Of honors that any of it's residents are
qualified to win, and this accounts for
the greatly increased interest in Mr..
AnderSon's fight. Coupled with this, II
the admiration that is cherished for
young man of energy and determina-
ton who is willing to hustle If need
he, to equip himself with an education
to fight the battle of life; and that Mr..
Anderson has hustled and fought TO
land high honors in the educational
contest. his record well shows. The
indications now are that he Will have
to hustle even more to capture third
honor. which he is nearest now, ana it
is safe to rely on local pride to win
out for him. Residents, therefore. who
are solicitous of his chances for this
place, who are dcSirous of seeing the
honor come to one of their young
townsmen, and incidentally become
subscribers to the representative news
paper OF Northeastern Pennsylvania; /;
or subscribers who would like to help
Mr.. Anderson along towards the prize
he is seeking, can have their ia avOrite
paper sent to their frien Is. MIR. An

PE-RU-NA the sHEAHsHs s4s4sn ACTS PROMPTLY

Jenkins knows what he is talking
about when he recommends Peruna,
because he has tried It, Peruna cures
catarrh because 1t reaches the source
of catarrh.
Peruna cleanses the blood Of it's i'm
purities because II regulates those or
gans that make blood.
Peruna keeps the system in fine.
healthy condition. because 1t restores
the function Of every organ, and brings
vigor to the organic nervous system.
Mr.. jenkins Is right. Peruna is a
carefully prepared prescription pre-
pared by one Of the oldest and best
known physicians in America. This Ia
why IT acts promptly and perman-
emily.
