road tracks. Mr. Sheneschoch wanted
to get home quick. She pot there quick,
but the Journey back was a long and
painful one. '
Bho stooped on the rocks nenr the
track at Shanty hill and as she was
going to scramble down them, fell and
dashed headlong- to the hard ground
below, a distance of thirty feet. There
was no one to help her, and after lylnj?
stunned a few moments, picked herself
tip and walked to her home alone. Sho
received a lacerated hand from the fall,
tiut no bones were broken. From tho

her brains dashed out.

What to Bo Until the Doctor Arrives
It Is very hard to stand Idly by and
sec our dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
(N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with croup. Not
finding tho doctor In, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. Ho
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give pome relief until tno doctor should
arilvo. In a few hours he returned,'
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz, says tho family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until ho has a constant demand
for It from that part of the country.

Why Is the Public So Very Anxious to Come and Buy?
Because
"The leader" stock was
on of the finest collec
tions of merchandise In
Northern Pennsylvania.
Practically had never
aeen the light of day
for hardly a dollar's worth
of It had been In the store
two months when the
doors were closed in December.
Because
We bought "The Leader"
stock at such an absurdly
little price a price that
astonished every bidder
at the sale, who would
gladly have given a half
more for it had they
known its full value, as
did we, who understand
Its full value.
Because
We are selling "The
Leader" stock at prices
that are much less than
was ever before known for
merchandise of depend
able qualities. In most
every instance you pay
us less than one-half the
actual cost of the goods;
often less than one-quarter.
Because
We are advertising "The
Leader" stock for Just
what it is the entire
Scranton stock of the
store of Lebeck Ooria.
We are making no prom
ises we cannot' fulfill. We
are living strictly up to
the letter of all our advertisements.
The Scranton Stock of Lebeck & Corin, t4The Leader," is Worth at
Retail Ninety Thousand Dollars, and We Bought
the Whole of It for $31,745.
Figures do not lie, nor exaggerate. They offer the strongest evidence of the possibilities to save money. They illus
trate why it is possible to sell you "The Leader" stock at prices which would be suicidal to any concern,
if they paid dollar-for-dollar for the goods, in a regular way. This is not a money-making
event for us though it is a MONEY-SAVING event for you. It is
giving us a phenomenal business. People who know, say thev
have never seen such crowds in any store.
Great Preparations for Today.
One of the largest and
biiuiktoi aiuirvo in iiic
Leader" Scranton store
was the charmingly
beautiful collection
of
Neu) Dress
Goods nd
Silks
We expect that today's business will go away ahead of Wednesday's, Thurs
day's or Friday's if such a thing is possible. As one man chose to put. it the
sale of "The Leader" stock will be like a snowball, rolling down hill, growing
larger and larger with each passing day. Today will introduce you to many
"Leader" bargains in books one of the largest departments in their
store. It is a chance of a lifetime to secure eood readineat little cost.
Millinery, Coats and Sails, Silk Waisfs, Corsets,
Skirts, Gloues, Handkerchiefs and Aprons,
Perf(im?, Ribbons and Jeu)eIry
All contribute to today's sale helping you to
many needful things at little cost. But these ,
are only suggestions to help you in a
general way. You must needs come
and see, if you would be convinced
that no store in these United
States ever offered more
bargains and better
bargains.
It has never been
within the
province
of any
store
