Special to the Scranton Tribune,
Susquehanna, Nov. 23. A woll-to-do
resident of Susquehannn, who Is chief
ly noted for his penurlousnees, ran
short uf rending matter on Sunday eve
ning and wand' red Into n church. The
conprt Ration was surprised. liven the
collection baR wns so astounded that
It flew off the handle. The preacher
hnd for his theme the blessedness of
cheerful ulvlng to the poor. He told
how Hi grim, gnunt wolf was gnaw
ing at Borne doors In .Susquehanna,
and whnt a work there would be be
fore nprlng for the well-to-do. The
preacher's words mndo a profound Im
pression upon the stronger within the
gnte. and ho resolved then and there
to begin on the morrow to he a philan
thropist. As he went out into the
night air he folt like a new man, and
his heart seemed to enlarge. Hrlght
and early the next morning the pe
nurious man knocked nt the door of
a. poor widow's cabin. When she ap
peared he greeted her cordially and
told her that he had noticed her brave
struggles to earn a livelihood, and de
sired to have her nccept something
fioni him. not so much on nccount of
Its Intrinsic value, but to show his
sympathy. Then he handed her an en
velope and a package, bade her a wry
good morning and withdrew, not wait
ing to receive the tearful thanks of the
grateful recipient. With fast-beating
heart the widow tore open the envelope,
and found that It contained printed
directions from a famous New York
cook. "How to feed a family of ten
on a dollar a day." The package con
tained over two pounds of liver. An
account of what the widow said, and
did, will appear in n future chapter.

An Ararat correspondent writes to a
Susquehanna paper that "weasles and

Better late than never! The county

Hi: SAW STUANGIi SNAKES.
A well-known resident of Starrucca
claims to have recently seen and
fought on the Starrucca Creek, mw
Stevens' Point, a hitherto unknown
species of snake. He says the snakes
wero black and In shape nearly like a
buggy whip. They had no heads, so
far as he was able to see. When they
came In contact with a stick or weed
w-vnt around it on both sides, and then
they simple parted in the middle,
went together nnd assumed their nat
ural shape. The Starruccan tried to
kill some of the reptiles and heat them
Into the ground, but in a very short
time they would rise out nnd be a.i
sound a ever. He tried to kill them
lepeatedly, but always met with the
same poor success. He finally gave
up the job in dtspair und hurried home.
The Starruccan undoubtedly encount
ered a nest of hard elder moccasins.
Thry are peculiar to some parts of
Pennsylvania and very hurd to subdue.

While a Scranton specialist was pu
pating to perform an operation, the
patient paralyzed the neighborhood by
ejecting tho remains and remnants of
a sure-etiouph frog. First reports gave
the wel-iht or the frog us (seventeen

1LKA.ILT DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Vot llo Aim ined, Hut Look for Hie
Chum.
Heart troubles, at least among Amer
icans, ara certainly Increasing nnd
while this may be largely duo to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, It Is moie often the re
sult of weak stomachs, of poor diges
tion. Real, organic heart disease Is Incur
able; but not one case In a hundred
of heart trouble, is organic.
Tho close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both org.inr nre controlled by branches
of tho same gnat nerves, the Sympa
thetic andthe Pneuniog.istiie.
In nnotlfer way, also the heart Is af
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which cruises gas and fermentation
from half digested food; th-'ro is n
feeling of oppression and heaviness In
the chest (,'iusid by prcsure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lunss, Intciierlng with their action;
hence arises palpitation and shott
breath.
Poor dlgrstlon also poisons the blood,
makes It th'in and watery, which irri
tates nnd weakens the heart.
Tho most sensible treatment for
heart troubles Is to Improve the di
gestion and to Insure the prompt as
similation of food.
This can best be done by the regului
use after meals, of some infe, pleas
ant and effective dlg'sMve preparation,
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tanlets, which
may be found nt most drug ."tores und
which contain valuable, harmless di
gestive chjinents, In a uleasant, con
venient form.
It Is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent use of Stuarl's Dyspepsia Tab
lets nt meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble, except, cancer of
stimnch.

Catarrh and Bronchial Trouble
Had no Appctito-Now Bottor In
Every Way-A Dcllcato Child..
'Sonic time since I took a sudden cold
and could not get rid of It. Being subject
to cut arrh and bronchial trou ble I coughed
terribly. I lost my appetite and grew
poor and weak and I did not feel liko
work. I began taking Hood's Sarsapa
rillu. In a short time tho cough disap
peared, I slept well, had a good appetito
and I was better in every way. Last
spring I was not tecling well, I had no ap
petito nnd no strength. I resorted to
Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon felt more
liko work. My littlo ncphow was a dcll
cato child and had a humor which trou
bled him so he could not rot nt night.
He has token n few bottles of Hood's Sar
isaparitla nnd now ho has a good nppctlto
and is able to sleep." Miss AlllilE J.
Freeman, South Duxbury, Mass.
