OPPORTUNITY FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION
Reference to the Tribune's Education
al Contest Made by Rev. DR..
Pierce in His Sermon.

| The Tribune's educational contest
was warmly endorsed yesterday morn
ing by Rev. DR.. Robert +. Y. Pierce
in the course of a sermon delivered in
the Penn Avenue Baptist church be-
fore large congregation.
The doctors sermon dealt with the
lessons which may be drawn from the
sacrifice which God called upon Abra-
ham to make--the sacrifice of his son.
The doctor pointed out that there are
fires and altars awaiting the sacrifices
which each one must make on this
earth.
I'm the secular life," said he, 1--WE
speak of opportunities. Opportunity is
but another term for fire and altar
There are so many opportunities con-
fronting our young people today that
there should be no lack Of sacrifices.
Look at the educational opportunities
which are at present being offered in
our own city through the management
of the Scranton Tribune.
BY the personal efforts of Mr.. Byxbee,
the business manager, an opportunity
for higher education is offered to
our young men and women for the ex-
penditure of Il little tine-an eXpendi-
value of the scholarships which will
go to the successful contestants.
This educational contest is not
merely business proposition. 1t is a
splendid offer far exceeding anything
of the kind that I have ever heard
of. Wherever there are young men or
women who are willing and determined
and who can make a persistent effort
to obtain a certain end they have an
excellent chance of securing for them
selves the prcesless boon of a good
education.
1.-The community ought to appreciate
fully the magnificent offer of the Trib-
une. ] am very glad to see that so
many young people are striving earn
estly in this contest and are laboring
to secure the educational advantages
offered. l am glad to see that our own
Mr.. Keller now is in the van"
DR.. Pierce also said the Tribune was
model of what good, clean, daily
newspaper should bean influence for
education and good in every family 1t
enters.

PREPARING TO TRAIL
The CLOVEN HOOFS
Fourteen Year-O Old Talford Carpenter
Wanted to Emulate the Buffalo
Bill Of Fiction.

Talford Carpenter, of Tripp Park
not yet IA years of age, is detained at
the Jackson street police station in de-
fault of $500, on the charge of larceny.
Saturday young Carpenter went into
Mrs. Fl. M. Cooper's store, in Trip
Park. and took a pocketbook contain
ing $S and some small change. These
are the things he bought:
Two knives, one revolver box of 81
short cartridges, a pack of playing
cards. and five half-dlme novels. One
which bore the title Buffalo Bill's Sc
cret Camp, or Trailing the Cloven
Hoofs," he kept; the other four he gave
to companions. Fired by dime novel;
reading, the boy determined to do
something quite as daring as trailing
the cloven hoofs. and not having the
money he proceeded to get it.
Mrs. Cooper swore out a warrant be-
hour yesterday morn1ng Patrolmen
Peters and Hart went to the boys
home and found him in bed, with the
above-noted paraphernala tucked un-
der him. He admitted taking the purse
and gave as his excuse for purcha sing
the revolver that he intended shooting
some one who was stealing his
chickens.
A dollar bill, a 5O-cent piece, and two
quarters, all he had left, were found
hidden under the front steps of his
home. Alderman Kellow held him in
$500 bail for his appearance at court.
