The above Irnes tue very nppiopilnle
to the feelings of the base ball loving
populate of this community, over the
widened dopey ball put up by local
Crescents In their game with the Alerts
of West Scrnnton Saturday. The AlertB
were a pietly Htinng team, but, hetc
tofoic the descents have easily con
queicd fcupeilor nines, and to say
that the Aleits weie piesented with
the game by the "Pets" Is easily pioved
by a lcfeicnco to the eitor column of
the Htlbjolncd heme of the same.
Tlicie weie emirs of omission and
commission, and to llnd which tost the
' mbic only an attendant at the fame
can tell ou. Thcie weie times when
the play laltly scintillated with bilsk-nes-s,

field. Cuff and Hostei, hi the out-gar-don,
put up u clever exhibition, and but
for the loimci's sme aim his play
would not have the einblniite uf a
defect.
The new acquisition to the vitelline
showed ci.v well when It Is conslileicd
that Siianton obtained but seven
"cilnkv" hits and mined not a tun off
his dellei.
Hu looks light and acts like a man
that has Keen the game plajed bpfoie,
nnd when the bos settle down to the
game thty me capable of, he will un
doublc lly irake good
The fat i iinton bovs put up a eiy
sn.'ppy game and did not have any
jeal difficult) at mi Mage of the con
test. The whole team pi lyed well,
making but tlnee doubtful cnoi". Dui

IT MATTERS NOT
How Sick You Are or How

Failed to Help You.

Doctors are not infnlllblo and there ara
many Instances where they have decided
n case was hopeless and then the patients
astonished everyone by getting well and
the sole cause of their cure was Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. A case in
point is that of James Lettuce o Cana
joharle, N. Y who writes:
"Some years uo I was attacked with pains
In my back and slds that wore fearful in the
-eitreme. I could not control my kidneys at
all and what came from them was mucous and
blood. I was in a terrible state and suffered 1
Intensely. A prominent physleian ol Albany.

that would save mo. t dreaded Uiat and com
menced to take Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy 1 felt better almost Instantly. When
I had taken about two bottles, the How from
the bladder was much cleaner, tho pain stop
pad, and I was saved from the surgeon s knife
and am now well."
Dr. W. H. Morse, tho famous physi
cian of Wcstfleld, N. J,, has this to say
of this great medicine:
" I have known It to euro chronlo Inflam
mation of the kidneys, where the attending
physician pronounced tho case Incurable."
No form of kidney, liver, bladder or
blood disease, or tho distressing sickness

A Mexican
Entanglement.
S.m Finnchco News Letter.
IliHGAN it In tun. If jou incline to
blame me, lemember that I wns in
Mexico. When Ameiknns co to
Mexico they drop their sense of pio
prlety Into the Itio Grande liver, and
as they ctoss the bolder ;tep back 200
jeats into tomance and adventuie.
Moreover, I was a fjoveiness. I lead
the life of a governess. As they told
me In Spanish, eveiy day was another
day, and all alike. 1 was Kngllsh gov
erness to the only dnughgter of a ilch
plantation ownei. And I was IS yeats
old.
The family lived In Tlaxeo. Tlaxeo!
A little village on the notthein bound
ary of the state of Tlaxcala, ninety
miles east of Me.leo City. It lies on a
slope of the Siena Madte llko a bit of
dtiftvvood tossed theie. Below It sutges
that gteat eaitli-se.t called the llanos
of Apam, plains that come up fiom
the south, wave on wave, and fall back
in the foot-hill bteakets fiom the tocky
shoie line of the Madte mountains, I
looked over those llanos fiom my win
dow, and as fai as eo cc5uld leatlt to
west and houth lay the lands of the
hacienda, coveied tow on low with
pioml-leaved maguey. To the east,
nestled on a hill, I could make out the
white walls of the nelghboting plant
ers home, wheie it stood guiud above
his fields. They touched outs nnd
t cached the horizon on the other hand.
Tluough the valley and into the misty
south wound the satin tlbbon of the
load; nt Its other end lay I'uebla, and
sotnewliete between inn the steel tails
or the Mexican National, binding us to
civilisation and tlio capital.
Tlaxeo! Miseiablo collection of
gaudily-tinted adobe huts sot close
nlong the tin eo feet of Mdeivnlk that

On the plna stands the chinch like a

It was a sweet Match evening, nnd
my little pupils nnd I went out for our
usual walk. Wo passed tho bai lacks
and tilt ty holdlets stated at us. Tho
inptaln of the im.tl guiud stood baie
headed ns wo went by. AVo passed the
notaiy's office, nnd tlio cleik, In a linen
duster, having the lionnr of our ac
quaintance, asmiied uh that lie was at
our feet. Wo pussed the ptlest's haute,
and his sister beamed down upon us
fiom behind the bins of her pat lor win
dow. The good rather himself came
fiom the door (ami gtceteij us. He
sighed as ho spoke to me. I wns an
unbellevet. The village doctor opened
Ills office window to sulute us. Ho
uiged mo to cat n for my coucjli, Jest I
die I .thought bluet ly cm his hands,
and bo bulled lu tho iincousecj.itcd
open, a thing not lit for the holy Held
of thQvCathollo cemeteiy. I knew tho
law and took my medicine legularly,
Wo went on into a side stteot, Tltcd
fnteil women peoied fiom windows ft
the unusual bound of a pausing step,
Hei ds of blnek-eied chlldien tan out
Horn Inner courts to seo "tho Amctl

Wo went out Into tho lleldb and g.itli
eied llowets until tho sun ser and mists
loweied off the hills to wain us of
night. Then wo tinned liomewutdB,
It was then I met him. A lmtse came
clatteiing up a uldQ stieet, ('Una
stepped fiom tin1 walk unheeding, nnd
I Jot Iced her bud: ft out under Its vciy

sash was knotted at his waist. Ho
dievv leln, and the horse he tode pawed
the pavement end jingled all its sliver
napping. He i.ihed the heavy silver
ttlmined sombreio and I met full the
gloilous black eyes shaded by a wealth
of loose black hnlr. The hand that held
the hat swung wide and he bent close
over me.
"DisjYMifce, senoilta!"
The hand that held the loins was
piefased cloo over Ills. lieu t, and I shall
never fotget the look of him.
I held Cl.ua by the aim nnd we went
on. He tut nod fiom the .side stieet, and
I heaid the lie.ul of his house's feet on
the cobble stones as ho followed us at
a distance of half, a block. 1 undei
stood thp Spanish compliment. Clnia
tan on ahead, and I let her go. At the
door I tinned. We had gatheied llow
eis, and I chose fiom among those I
held a wee ted posy. He lode slowly
tow aid me I diopped the blossom fiom
my lips to tho pavement and luiuied
in.
AVho wns he.' I did not know and I
did not cue. I novels asked nor tiled
to llnd out. Jt was fun. Day after day
I met him always at that ctoss stteet.
And he always followed us home. Once
he ventuied nearer than his usual lulf
block, and w 1th open palm 1 signaled
that the child must not see. He diopped
back. And alwavs I left my llovver
with Its message at the dooiwny.
Hut one night, after picking up the
llovvei, he lollcied. Aft aid lest the
household noticed, I hunted to my vv I11
ilnvv and out on Its balcony. He looked
up fiom below; with eloquent gestuie
I explained that he must not bo seen
by those within, tliat unheal d of soi

was to bo absent In the South. I to

gieat hat mid stood with bowed head,
waiting. I lilted my hands and blessed
him on his way. With a clatter and
Jingle he was gone, anil things weio
desolate Indeed.
Thtee days wont by, and no sound
on the 11 oss Htieot. Tlueo weeks went
by, and Htlll ho did not 1 etui 11. Then I
Kittled down to wait.

The priest ran on through the slid
ing cadence of the next.
The peon behind me grasped my hand
as it hung over the back of the bench,
and held It fast under tho folds of that
tough tod scrape.
"Quiet, dearest! It Is I!"
The vvoids came in tho best of Eng
lish, and in time and tone with the low
voiced answer of the woi sniping people.
"Tlueo months, as I piomised. I
wanted a neater gteeting for my wel
come!" Tito pilest's voice rose in so
noious cadence. I stiuggled to iclcasa
my hand, and Claia looked up Inquir
ingly. I gave up. I daie not atttact
attention.
The congtegallon was answcilng. Ill's
voice sounded in time with thehs.
"Don't vvony! They can't seo! They
cannot hear." It was btoken to match,
tho set vice. "They cannot undei stand,
nu how." Tho last vvotd came In as a
llomlsh.
"Dear girl, I have something to tell
jou, but the responses aren't Ions
enough. Feel It bete." I did, through
the tcxtuie of the tough shiit against
which ho hold my hand. "Hvery beat
must tell jou." And he crossed himself
us the test with his fiee hand.
It did, while the pi lest chanted loud
and long Tho people bent their fore
heads to the tloor.
"Don't let our foolish sense of tha
pi act leal tell you It Isn't true."
Theio wns a long Intel tuptlon. I ar
gued with myself. Then I counted tha
beats of his henit.
"I come diessed like this and thin
way because when I 1 etui 11 to this vllj
luge, babe,' I como Ameilcnn. No one
heie knows me. No one knows me
but you. I do not know the seiior oj
jour house."
The pi lest chanted.
"When I come back tomotrovv I coma
In Ameilcan clothes nnd as your sweet

our count! y, and I speak nil light,
don't IV I come sttalght to your houto

1 gasped. Tho pi lest chanted on.
"My name Is Chailes Mot an, ically,
that's my name. My mother was
Ameilcnn. I am your swectheait from
San Antonio. You tell them my father
was Mexican. Ho was."
Another bicak,
"And then and then If you do not
llko me wo qtiaucl and I go away,
sube'.'"
It was a solemn moment. They vveia
elevating tho host. I bowed my head,
and tho pilest's sister reported favor
ulily 011 thu tmbplievci's humility.
Ho came, nnd tho senor culled me Into
the put lor. Hcfoto I was well through
tho door a pair of stiong arms were
nbout me, and the senor, who hnd vis
