If there Is any other section of the
city who can follow the pace set by
West Scranton In response to the needs
of the nation, It Is still to be discover
ed. Not only have they talked patrio
tism, but have acted patriotically.
When It mis ncces'snry to recruit C"ni
pnny F up to the minimum standard
no dllllculty was experienced In getting
the men. When It became apparent
that a second call would be made, the
spirit wu Just as strong. In fact,
stronger, and the rejection of men, and
stories of hardship lias not dampened
it. The West Side military company wan
organized, Captain John II. Lewis com
manding, with Albert Davis and Wil
liam Luce, Jr., as llrst nnd second lieu
tenants, respectively. Over DO names
were enrolled and the services of the
company Immediately tendered Imth to
the president and the governor. An
miflwer was received asking a list be
furnished. This Is being done now.
Last Tuesday evening, the prepara
tions of Washington camp. No. 338,
Patriotic Order. Sons of America, to
wards sending a detail from the camn
resulted In the organization of a part
company. William Klcper. an ex

ing them and Thomas Davis nnd Wil
liam Bisblng are acting as tlrst and
second lieutenants, respectively. All
members of the camp who wish to
Join nre requested to be present nt next
Tuesday evening's regular meeting.
It seems very certain that Just as
soon as the olllclal order comes to go,
West Scranton will send a company
and will be the llrst to do so as It was
llrst to be notllled as to a possibility
of acceptlon.

If life were one long summer day and Its
lournev thronuh a trarden of flowers, it
might be possible for people to be careless
of thetr health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of litlcn, life has
not been a toilless journey through a garden
of flowers, Man mut earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman mint bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse Is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women tiejrlect their health. Man's toil Is
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ilMicalth. The woman is
a still greater sulTcrer. She suffers in si
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease in a womanly way. Motherhood
become to her a menace of death, and her
babes arc born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unf.iiling remedy forworn
en who suffer in this way. It is Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription It acts directly on
the delicate nnd impottant organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. It makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous, virile nnd elastic.
It allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
soothes pain and tones nnd builds up the
tortured nerves. It fits for wifehood nnd
motherhood It does nway with the trials
of the period of apprehension nnd makes
baby's advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands have testified to its marvelous
merits.
" I wa afflicted for four years with local u-rak.
nn, but would not rnnlest It for a time," writes
Mrs. lieulah Wnndall, of Ilstrman, Patrick Co.,
Va , "then I look the 'Favorite VrcserlpUon'
ami 'Oolden Medical Diirovcry,' nml they cured
mr. I cannot praise Dr. I'lcrcc's nicdlciu.es
too much,"
Misses Maude Moser and Lillian Too
hey. Miss Elsie Hughes read n well
prepared paiier upon the "History of
the Flag." Memory gems were recited
by the pupils of Primary B and C. Al
ternating . with the above numbers,
songs were sung by the school pupils In
concert.
Rev. L. R. Foster. M. A., pronounced
the beni diction and the exercises cam
to nn end. The Inrpe number of par
ents and friends present tendered their
congratulations to Miss Lees and her

VANDEUHILT'S START.
Dnniol Brown's Story ol tho Help
Ulven by Mrs. Vnndorlillt nt the
Right Moment.
From the New York Sun,
"One story about Commodore Corne
lino Vnndcrhllt which I have never
seen In mint was told to me many
yeans ago by Daniel Drew, and 1 hnve
no doubt but that It Is authcnMc,"
said a man who has known Intimately
the men who hnve made New York his
tory during the last half century.
"Various stories have been printed
about the beginnings of Vanderbllt'a
fortune, and they nil go to show that
luck played u very significant part In
them. Vnnderbilt made money becaueo
of his energy nnd his shrewdness;
but I don't believe that It Is generally
known that Mrs. Vanderbllt aided
him very materially nt a time when
he thought a good Investment was
slipping through his 'hands because
he had not enough money to iukc
advantnge of his opportunity.
"Daniel Drew know Vanderbllt well,
and before his dcatlt he frequently
entertained hlo friends with stories
about the commodore's early life. It
was when Vanderbllt was slmpiy an
energetic young captnln connected w Ith
the Union line for Philadelphia und
Baltimore, 'through to Philadelphia In
one day!' that the incident of which
Drew delighted to tell occurred. In
those days the steamer Emerald, Cap
tain C. Vanderbllt, left her whaif,
on the north side of the Battery, nt
noon every day. Sundays excepted,
with passengers for New Brunswick
nnd Philadelphia. Passengers were
not many, and many roplo went down
to New Brunswick and back by boat
for the pleasure of the trip. New
Brunswick's hotel, or half-way house,
was dirty and ill-kept. Mrs. Vander
bllt saw her opportunity. She sug
gested to her husband that they should
tako the hotel, refit it, and mil it in
a style that would attract gucflts. Van
derbllt thought well of it. and, after
leasing the hotel, he took his family
from his father's little house at Sta
ploton to live in New Brunswick. As
Mrs. Vanderbllt had suggested the
echemc, her husband told her that she
might run the hotel herself and have
Hie profits.
"Mrs. Vanderbllt was a strong, in
dustrious, frugal woman, and she
turned the hotel upside down, cleaned
It and made it lit for guests. She
named it Bellona Hall after the steam
ship Bellona, which her husband then
commanded, and in a very short time
the fame of It had spread to New
York, and parties were made up to
visit It because of the excellent fare to
be found there. It also Increased the
profits of the line for which Captain
Vanderbllt worked, and his salary was
lncreused to $1',000 h year. For twelve
years Mrs. Vanderbllt managed Bel
lona Hall, with profit to herself and
plcahure to her guests.
"During these years Captain Van
derbllt had been studvlng steamship
and Investigating the chances for profit
In trallle on the Hudson nnd along the
Sound. He wanted to bo one of the
transportation magnates of this city,
and although his fortune was small he
had vnluable ideas, gained from years
of practical experience as u steamboat
captain, and he felt sure that If he
could ;et the right opening he need
not fear the greater wealth of his
rivals. He had never questioned Mrs.
Vunderbllt's management of the hotel,
but he knew thut she had saved some
money. In 1S29 his opportunity came.
He had a chance to get a controlling
interest In a steamship for $18,000. He
had $r.000 In cash which he had saved,
but he didn't know where to raise the
balance. He told his wife about tnis
steamship which he wanted and ex
plained to her his plans for making
money if he could get the ship.
" -I need S13.000 more.' said the cap
tain, 'and I don't know where I can
get it.'
" 'I will give It to you.' said Mrs.
Vanderbllt, and to her husband's sur
prise she pulled the money out from
under the bed, She had saved It from
the profits of the hotel. Captain Van
derbllt bought his boat and then he
bought many others, but his first ship
he owed to his wife."
