HE FOUND THE PUZZLE.

He was from Wayne county. He was
standing III front of a North Main
street shoe store the other day lie
was looking in the window. This was
about 10 o'clock in the morning. At
9 o'clock in the afternoon, he was Sill
there, his look desperate. AT o'clock
he was still there, but was almost
crawling up the window. At 6.3O, when
the proprietor was ready to lock up, the
young man jumped up in the air, and
with a whoop that made the shoe raan
wink to the clerk to call the ambulance,
he yelled: I've found it. Tve found
it!'
Found WHAT" asked the proprietor,
with an icy glare.
i've found the puzzle. See it?' he
said, as he pranced with glee.
What puzzle?" growled the shoe
man, as he said something about "rats
in his belfry."
"rhe puzzle in the window" danced
the funny man. See! it says line
shoes, 50. I've found them. See them,
they're in the Window" he shouted
as he danced his way down the street,
while the shoe man turned the key in
the door and muttered something else,
that sounded like "crazy yaps.'

contests can he looked for. Dundaff
street will have team, and Gordon
avenue intends having n representative
nine in the field. Robert Walker, of
Simpson, has set about TO organize q
team, and he says Carbondale will have
to hustle If 1t intends gaining the
championship for another year.
Again we ask: whats doing, Homes
dale?" and this time we take in all
the places between Wilkes-Barre and
Montrose. We even go SO far as to in
clude Archibald in our visiting list, and
we respectfully advise them to start
practicing now--with snow balls. They
will need it when the season opens, IT
they have the courage to bump up
against our "prides.'
According to the young man who
writes the obituary records from Arch
bald, in a Sunday paper, the Archibald
team does not desire to go UP against
our strong teams, but would rather
try conclusions with the school team
from here, who we are expecting to
drill the Scranton school teams. TO
tell the truth Archibald never had Il
team, and it is probable they never
expect to have one that can cope sue
cessfully with any but school teams
from this section. But If they want
game they can be accommodated dur
ing the season by writing to Manager
Foxe. We will, allow them their own
umpires and scorekeepers and will take
the victories. ,
The students at the Central school
have began to talk base ball, ana it is
probable that. they will have team
on the diamond this year. Some deG-
mite action will be taken in IL few days.

Base ball enthusiasts are beginning
to shout fer a winning base ball team
for this season and the best players
of the town have gotten together and
started the ball rolling for a success
full season.
The members of last years Crescent
team met on Thursday night last and
elected Patrick +. FoXe manager. He
managed the team successfully last
season, and has already started in to
perfect the playing strength of the
1902" nine.
Manager. FoXe and Il committee have
been appointed to devise ways and
means for securing suitable uniforms
for the season. Near the close of last
season the Scranton Traction COM
pany made overtures to the team, and
had almost decided to purchase them
uniforms and back the team financial
Iy, hut at that time the team was in am
unstable condition, and it was thought
they would not hold together until the
finish of the season. This year the
Crescents expected support from the
company, but the street car strike will
operate against such cooperation.
Should it be settled soon the team
from the company, but in the event Of
their doing so they would be forced to
play on the Alumni park grounds. AL
ready they have formulated plans for
the erection of bleachers on Duffy's
field, Just above the park, and more ac-
cessibe to the central city.
More new blood will be infused into
the team this year. though the stars
of last years aggregation will be on
the pay roll.
The following players have already
decided to don uniforms when the UNI

asked to appear on the practice field

The after-effects of fevers and other
acute diseases are frequently worse
than the ailment itself and the utmost
care is required during this stage in
order that permanent evils do not re-
suit. The system is worn out in it's
long struggle with the disease; the
blood is impoverished and the nerves
weakened Vitality is low. The blood
needs to be purified and supplied with
the elements to build up the wasted
tissues. the nerves need a tonic to
strengthen them. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People will do this as no
other medicine will. They contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness of the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are an unfail-

THIS, CERTAINLY, is NEW.
carbondale Man Elected to Office and
Didn't Know 1t.

Anybody hereabouts would be sure to
dale man didn't know he was elected
to office until two weeks afterwards,
and that then the news was a big sur
prise to him. And now if you have amy
smiles to smile prepare to let them
beam, for this is true of man who
lives in Carbondale township, ana is
perhaps the best known man in th2t
neck % woods.
This refreshing exception is Thomas
a. Walker, of Cottage street, CarbCu
dale township, and postmaster of
Childs, which has been raised to that
more dignitied appellation than May
field yard. Just before the spring cleo
ton. at the behest of his friends, NTr.
Walker decided to stand rs 4 candidate
for treasurer on the Republican ticket.
Elections are not so strenuous or eX-
citing in Carbondale township as in
well, in Philadelphia; or say, Fell
township, and somehow Mr.. Walker
forgot that he was in the race. His
friends, however, didn't they rallied
around his standard. and putting in
their best licks they heaped upon him
the honor of treasurer. Honor is used
advisedly, for no man in Carbondale
township will ever sit up O. nights and
worry himself to Il shadow over the
money that he will have to care for as
treasurer. The salary of the office Is
the only thing to worry about.
About Monday or Tuesday of this
week. Treasurer-elect Walker was
struck with the recollection that he was
candidate at the election, and he
received another surprise when he was
informed that he would be the next
treasurer of the township. Since then
he has been buying the cigars for his
friends.

CREDIT FOR OFFICER MORAN.
His Detection of Fred Robinson O
Big Feather in His Cap.

'. Big Eeatner III his Gap.
Constable Moran, the keen and
shrewd officer of Alderman Atkinsons
court, is wearing another good sized
feather in his already well-decorated
detectives cap.
Constable Moran received his latest
decoration by his clever work in the
detection and arrest of Fred j. Robin
son, the man from the couutrv. who
raised Il dollar bill to twenty by
pasting on the numerals from a con-
federate bill. and then passing the bill
on Samuel Grico. the Italian storekeep-
er on the West Side. Within fifteen
hours after he heard of the transaction
the constable had Robinson before the
alderman. besides arresting man and
his wife, who, it is claimed, received 4
portion of the money that the guilty
man received in change from the un-
suspectins storekeeper. Moran had no
tangible clue to work upon as Griro
had no knowledge as to Robinson, nov
er having seen him before. lie learned
however. that Il farmers wagon had
been on Fallbrook street, few blocks
from Grico's store, on the evening o.
the swindling. This clue, slight as it
was, was followed with good results.
and by shrewd and discreet inquiries
the constable located Robinson ana his
supposed accessories. At the hearing
in the aldermans office, when he saw
the chain of circumStantial evidence
that the constable had woven Gbout
him, he virtually admitted his guilt.
This week he made a clean breast of
the affair before Judge Archibald in the
United States court at Scranton, ana
was given two and Il half years in the
Western penitentiary at PittS5urS.
