BULL DOG GOT AWAY.
Exciting Chewing Match at Main
Street and Seventh Avenue.

man walked down Main street, be-
tween and 7.30 yesterday morning
proudly leading a bull dog; one with
a funny face. At Seventh avenue, the
animal with the corrugated features
got away. He made for a bunch of
shy ours that stood shivering against
the Florodora posters on the bill boards
on the corner and in an instant there
was somethin' doin'.
The air was filled with a chorus Of
yelps that rivalled a sausage factory
that you sometimes read about in the
funny papers. The puppies and their
bigger brothers scattered like crowd
at the old Blazing Stump when Con-
stable Ed Neary hove in sight. Bull
dogs are not known to chew the
rag, but they can chew dog
meat until further orders. This
one did the same thing. He got dog
between his jaws that would scarcely
make a good-sized breakfast; and he
held on like Honesdale is clinging to
the game that it won from us. There
was excitement galore while the yell
low dogs continued.
Are you on?' If asked, Mr.. Bulldog
would probably be answered with a
pOD OF MS aDDreVated tall that would
mean "bet yer life; and you can't
loose me-" After much apprehension,
anxiety, excitement, fear, trembling and
a toJerable qSota of cussing, the ten
acious, homely dog let loose, but not
until he had torn one dog. and made
few others feel that the sausage man
was after them.
The man with the dog resumed his
trip, prouder than when he struck the
fateful corner.

The New York, Ontario and Western
Railway company will run an excur-
sion to Hancock, N. Y, on Sunday,

town of Hancock in itself, situated as
it is, between both branches of the
Delaware river and surrounded by the
towering peaks of the Catskills and
other ranges of mountains, presents to
the eXcursionst view well worth see
ing. There are a number of summer
hotels and boarding houses at Hancock,
with ample accommodations. and livery
facilities to afford drive through the
country for eXcursionists.
Train will leave Scranton at $50 a.
m, and returning, leave Hancock at

experiment. He says: "About year
ago l left off drinking coffee and tea
and began. to use Postum. For several
years previous my system had been in
wretciIed condition. l always had a
thickly furred, bilious tongue and foul
breath. often accompanied with severe
headaches. was troubled all the time
with chronic constipation, so that I
was morose in disposition and almost
discouraged.
At the end of the first week after
making the change from coffee to
Postum witnessed a marvellous change
in myself. My once coated tongue
cleared Off, my appetite increased,
breath became sweet and the headaches
ceased entirely. One thing / wish to
state emphatically. you have in Pos

that i would experiment to see If the

water. found out before two weeks
were past that something was wrong

1t was not the avoidance, OF coffee

value came from the regular use of
