Hold-ups were of nightly occurrence and
men went armed or stayed at home. They
used to tell a story of man crossing the

was 'beset by three highwaymen. He

Lock Man in Car and Then Give
 Him Icy Duckings.

Washington. N. J., Dec 13.--Charles B. Mover came here a week ago, say ing he represented firm that made silk flowers. He offered girls steady employment at $5 a wee9, provided each deposited $2 with s1dm in pay ment for an outfit to be delivered la ter. Meyers scheme worked well here, twenty girls giving him $2 each, and he followed it up at Oxford, five miles from here. ~. ...
 It is said he got two dozen working girls to go into his scheme. In Ox- ford, which is a mining village, the girls didn't like his scheme, and yes terday morning Anna and Theresa Flanagan met him on the street and demanded a return of their money.
 Meyer. laughed at them and they got angry, grabbed him, lifted nitn into an empty freight car on a siding and locked the doors.
 Then the sisters got together a lot of other girls from whom Mover had collected money, and an hour later the girls yanked Mover out of the car, dragged him to a millpond and showed him through hole Tn the ice. Three times the ducking was repeat ed and when the girls left Mover he was nearly frozen. He got into a neighboring house, thawed out for two, hours and then took an express train for Scranton The girls jeered him as he boarded the train. /

qIne Emect a Pun of Breath Has Ol.
 the Flame. t
 A burning candle is a gas manufac- eory on small scale. The wax or tallow is converted by the heat of the dame into gas, and in that form en- ters into chemical combination with the oxygen of the surrounding air.
 This chemical union causes very high rise in temperature in the ele- ments concerned. Tn fact, it produces what we know as flame of fire, which ls simply the white hot molecules of carbon and oxygen. The gas making process is started by the match in lighting the candle and is afterward continued by the flame itself.
 Our breath acts in three way: 1) It parries away the particles of gas bodi- E.. O It lowers their temperature at the same time, so that they are no longer capable of entering into chem lcal union with the oxygen (S) The hreath contains carbonic acid gas, which is incapable of supporting conn bastion and so helps c extingEiala the aams

Heard Of the Finding of a Child in a
Store and Trudged to Police Station

:, Little Lettie Sandberg, whose home
is on Water street NE, walked to the
Central police station yesterday after
noon. after school to- offer a home to
the babe who was deserted in a Nicol-
let avenue department store. III =
Lettie said her teacher had told her Of
the desertion and altho she had not
asked permission lof o heFd mother, to
adopt the child hshe thought she could
take it upon herself to offer him a2home.
She was much disappointed when told
that home had already been found for
the little one, but her hope was some
what revived when Sergeant Fred John
son promised to let her know when an
other founding was brought to lookup
alley.
The desertion Of this babe has caused
a stir in police circles, and the officers
think they are on the track of the re-
sponsible persons. They say that the
child came from q hospital that is being
conducted near the center Of the city
by INSCRIPTIONS persons A close watch
will be kept on this and similar insti-

are operating absolutely without prin.

Do you remember the little things that
gave us so much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
1nush and milk Our mother put before US.
But as we get older it takes more to give
US pleasure. Mush and milk no longer
tastes good to Us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such q person is TO tone UP the stomach with
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
is natures most valuable and health-g giving
ageut-rnade without the use of alcohol. It
contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the
concentration of NATURES vitality as found
ii, the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks well for it because
it was given to the public by Dr.. R. V:
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
. Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, nearly
forty years ago, and has since been sold by
druggists in ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tollics or compounds, en-
JOY large sale for a few years, then dlsap-
pear from the public attention, but DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has,
proved such reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in a family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tired
it, prove its lasting merit, SO that every
bottle bears the stamp of pub1ics approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic for the
stomach that we know OF contains alcohol,
but DR.. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his Medical Discovery
