Mrs. McGrath's Wonderful Kitten. News of Interest in Railroad Cir cles Some Health Hints Venison Hunters on the Trial Eloped with His Mother-in-law Grand Army Inspections. Special to Tho Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Nov. 21. Seme years ago a. humane Jackson farmer named Tewksbury took pity on a small dopf of uncertain breed, one of whose legs had been crushed by a wagon. Heine something of a surgeon, air. Tewkes bury carefully amputated the crushed leg, and, when the wound was healed, provided the dog with a light and etrong" wooden leg. In the course of time the dog, which was a very Intelligent little animal, became awue that he could rest his weight ur -a this wooden leg, and use it for all ordinary purposes, and that, while It was not as good as the other three legs, It was much better than no leg. In walking or trotting the dog always used his wooden leg. If, how ever, he had any occasion to do leap ing or fast running, or to show In any way especial nimblenoKS, with which the stiffness of his artificial limb would have Interfered, he held up the wooden leg gracefully and leaped or ran on the other three. The. dog lived to a good old age, respected and admired by all who knew him. His grateful affection for mankind in gen eral, and for Mr. TewkeFbury In par ticular, was the most marked feature of his character. IN RAIUtOAD CIRCLES.

MILS. M'GRATirS TIGER CAT. The tlgtr kitten of Sirs. McGrath, of Red Rock, was born with three legs. To repair this natural deficiency, the widow hired a carpenter to make a wooden leg for the animal, Instead of drowning it forthwith, as most people would have done. The widow carefully nourished the kitten. Little by little the wooden limb adjusted Itself to the cat's, parts, and the cat, in turn, be came accustomed to the leg. Today the animal uses it artificial limb with the same ease and dexterity with which It uses the other three. When the cat catches a mouse it does not tear it with its claws and teeth, as most cats do, but strikes It a sharp blow with its wooden lea;, killing its prey on the spot. IN Sl'SQUEHANXA COUNTY. Great llend's new brush factory building Is rapidly approaching com pletion. For some time to come there will be no $1.75 per week board In the county Jail. And the prisoners are exceeding ly glad.

Never leave the gas turned on when you retire at night. Never break the ice to take a bath during the winter months. Never ride a thin horse bareback. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM.

Nature says, "Yes." By the sight of the thousand mothers living in daily suffering; by the cries of the thousand children wailing in daily misery, motherhood can be a crime against Nature. Nature never permits ignorance of her laws to excuse guilt or mitigate punishment. The father cats sour grapes and "the children's teeth are set on edge." The mother enters on maternal duties she is unfit to discharge and is punished in her own suffer ing and the weakness of her child. The greatest endowment any mother can give her child is a sound healthy body. Every mother owes her child that body. It is a bitter thing for the tender mother heart to feel responsibility for the shipwreck of a child's life, too weak to do battle with the gales which sweep across life's sea. The mother cattnot give the child what she herself does not possess. The first step toward happy motherhood is health. But how can, a woman be healthy at will? Let a woman answer. A HAPPY EVENT. "I take pleasure in in. forming you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May I8tll. 1899, "writes Mrs. L, E. Corti, of Wal tonville, Pa., Bor ij, "I cannot Cud words suffi ciently strong to express to you my thanks, for my delivery was almost without pain, and when my husband arrived with the doctor the child was already born. The neighbors who were with me, nnd my hus band and the doctor could not believe their eyes. Having suffered so much before I never believed myself able to be delivered of a living child. I tell everybody this happy event was due to the help of God and of your medicines. Our hearts are full of gratitude to you for your medicines, which have given us the happiness of having a living? child of our own, after so much suffering and dis appointment. I recommend Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre scription to all young women who arc in the same condition that I was in as one of the best remedies in exist ence. I have used eight bottles and Cud myself in perfect health. Ac cept my best wishes for your welfare to the end ot your dys." In its substance Mrs. Cor ti's testimony to the value and virtue of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is iden tical with that of thousands of viliSVAtmrSTw'd'Mi women who have been made well and happy by this truly wonderful medicine. No two cases are exactly alike the details vary but the general fact of suffering is always the same, fol lowed by the general result of a complete cure by the use of "Favorite Prescription." " WAS JUST WONDERFUL." "During my two years of married life I have not had good health," writes Mrs. Daisy Studdard, of 6o3 South Esplanade Avenue. Leavenworth, Kansas, "I was all run down, and my husband got me to write to Dr. Pierce and explain my case to him and see if he could do me any good. So I wrote, and, thank the Lord, I got an early reply tellitij me what the trouble was. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and also the 'I'leasaut Pellets, and now can say that I feel like a new In the past year it has cost Dr. Pierce $25,000, exclusive of postage, to supply the demands of those who accept his gift offer of a copy of the "Medical Adviser" FREE.

It makes mc feel well and sttong." Nothing else could speak so emphatically in praise of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as do these testimonials of weak women made strong and sick women made well. It seems to some women well nigh miraculous, that after years of suffering, and the failure of all medi cines and doctors to give relief, they find a per fect and permanent cure in "Favorite Prescrip tion." But from the medical standpoint the wonder would be if "Favorite Prescription" failed to cure. It is made to cure as a sewing machine is made to sew, and, it docs perfectly what it was made to do. It is not a "cure-, all." It is a medicine specially prepared to cure the ailments peculiar to woman. It regulates the peri ods, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflam mation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It invigorates the womanly organs, increases womanly vigor and strengthens the nerves. Thus with those who use "Favorite Prescription," the pre natal period is passed in peace and comfort, the birth -hour passes with scarcely any pain, and the mother is made happy by having a bright, healthy baby, and being abundantly able to nourish it herself.
