"Yes, sir," concluded "Chuck," as ho
ran up the street to borrow n Sweet
Caporal from "Mickey" Gorman, "do
Mlnooks were asy I'lug?."
"Chuck," ns usual, sized Up the sit
uation jiiHt ns It was. The "Pets" ran
away with the Mlnooka team yesterday
afternoon on Duffy's Held by tho score
,of 0-3.
Tho Mlnooka team was the reorgan
ized, rehabilitated and re-everythlng.
It was a better team than went up
against the Crescents . and then down,
earlier this season. The new manager
has a new team that can play new ball.
And who said we weren't Bind of It? It
makes tho credit all the greater for
the "Pets," don't you know.
When you talk about the Mlnooka
team, your mind Is on Rood hitters,
for these same kiddy-bucks' from over
the .Scranton city line, down below
Johnnie Gordon's home, are sonic haiul
full of shucks as swat artists. They
can push out safe ones as good as the
best, and better than most of 'em.
Mickey Mangen, MeHugh, of the Scran
ton scml-professionals, Phllbln and the
rest, are enough, too often, to make n
pitcher look like half-past cnie or two,
nnd make him think of changing his
boarding boss. Utit like all men of
equal terms, they meet with a hard pro
position, once in a while, that punc
tures their tire and makes them ride
home on a wheel as Hat as a I tones
dale man's laugh over one of Hilly Mc
Kenna's jokes In his Evening News.
Well, anyhow, (see Uobby Gaylor).
such a triple-plate llarveylKCd armor
proposition came fornlnst them yester
day; and they were soon all In. Kelle
hcr, the man who never says a word,
one of the quietest fellows you ever
met, is his name. Forest City is bis
home; and his trick Is well, ask tho
lads from Mlnooka. Maybe they will
tell you how they couldn't hand out
Fafq smashes, when they would be
"Johnny-on-the-Spot." There were
some safe ones, ten, all told; but they
came when they weren't needed, and
when they weren't needed, they came.
Case of boss and boss.
While the silent man had a matinee
of fun with the Mlnooka batters, the
Crescents conducted a soaking picnic,
at which the star attraction was tho
knockouts, one every little while, they
gave to the ins, outs, drops and switches
handed up to the home-plate by Pitcher
Kelly. No, nothing to the $10,000 beau
ty; but Kelly, of Mooslc, where, tho
powder mills are.
Poor Kelly! How he was abused!
Owney McAndrew, "Our Owney," one
of his neighbors and who used to play
with him In the days of Pleasant Val-
ley; Hilly Emmett, Jlmmlc Murray,
Hilly Flannory and Dick Monahan had
no regard at all for his pitching, and
slammed him all over the lot. 'Twas
fearful for Kelly and Immense for us.
Fourteen hits, three of them two-baggers,
were the harvest. Hero was
enough to win two games. With almost
pel feet Holding, we couldn't help but
win. That's why the score was 9-3, and
why they are still "Our Pets."
Mlnooka scored the llrst run of the
gume hi the llrst Inning and without
ninklng a hit. McDonald was lilt by
d'0K3 TO GERMANY.
Particular Travelers Demand tho Im
portation of American Articles.
"I had drank coffee since babyhood,
and although I was very nervous and
dyspeptic, 1 could not and would not
believe that coffee had anything to do
with it," writes an American lady now
living in Munich, Germany.
"My physician dually convinced mu
that coffee was at the bottom of ull my
troubles, and I tried many things to
take its place, but nothing satisfied tho
craving for real colTee. At last one day
In a half-hearted, despairing mood, I
bought from tho grocer some Postum
Food Coffee. My grown-up daughter,
who by tho way had inherited my taale
for coffee and also my nervousness,
laughed and said, 'Don't you know that
nothing can tnko'tho place of well made
coffee, half Java and half Mocha, with
Plenty of rich cream''
J"J firmly beUe,ve It,' I replied, 'but a
drowning ma.ii ivlll grasp nt u straw,
nrifl'I am gcttliTg'wortf nervous every

I pppfesa I feared to,put.,lt to that test

Gossip for the Rooters.
Michael Walsh, of Mayfleld. was In
center, which greatly pleased every
body. Ills base-running was a revela
tion to the attendants at Duffy's Held,
and his running catch In the sixth and
quick assist in a double play greatly
stirred the fans.
When "Owney" McAndrew plays in
the Held, he can smash the ball until
further notlre. He had a two-bagger
and two singles. On the two-bagger he
made third 6n a narrow margin of a
steal.
Flannery's gingery work was the talk
of the critical observers of the game.
Monahan played a great game at sec
ond and was "Johnny" with the stick.
After all, there's no team like an all
Crescent, make-up. It was the "Pets"
yesterday for fair.
Murray caught Mangan off second
yesterday on a trick that is as old as
base ball, but which is successfully
worked but once In a hundred games.
He picked up the ball that was fielded
to him and, putting it under his arm,
waited until Mangan stepped off the
base. Then he touched him. Mangan
felt like six cents in worn-out pennies.
Only two errors, and only one costly,
Is a good record.

ON A VISIT.
State Board of Charities Secretary
Biddle in the City.
Cndwulladcr Biddle, of Philadelphia,
secretary of the state bourd of public
charities, Is here on an ofllclnl visit".
Ho came here from Honesdale, regis
tering at the Harrison,
Mr. Kiddie's mission is to Inspect the
public charities hereabouts, and in his
annual report to call attention to the
management and care of the various
Institutions.
This morning, ho will visit the poor
farm of tho Carbondale poor district
and later will Inspect tho Emergency
hospital. Ho was tho guest for a part
of last evening of Hon. S. S, Jones,
president of the board of directors of
Emergency hospital,
After his visit here, which will bo
concluded today, Mr. Biddle will go to
Scranton. Ills visit Is always of Im
portance, as it proves a factor In de
termining the necessities of tho differ
ent Institutions and how they shall
figure In the appropriations made every
two years. Mr. Diddle has been con
nected with this work for years, his
experience and his discrimination mak
ing him u most valued worker In tho
charities of the state,
Mr. Jones Gratoful.
A. It. Jones, who was sorely aflllcted
last week by tho loss of his beloved
wife, expresses "his warm-hearted
thanks to the numerous friends, whoso
thoughtful sympathies, expressed in
varlqus ways, tended to make less
heavy the grief thut followed the sad
taking away of bis helpmate from,
himself and his little ones.

WM. RUSSELL'S EXPERIENCE.
Recovering from Injuries Sustained
In Thrilling Runaway.
William Russell, of Greenfield, who
Is widely known hereabouts, Is making
a rapid recovery from tho severe In
juries and shock he sustained In a
thrilling runaway last week. Tho
scalp wounds which tore his forehead
nnd the sldo of his bend, arc healing,
nnd tho soreness which was a con
sequence of his being dragged Is grad
ually leaving him.
Mr. Russell's experience was a dan
gerous one, and he Is grateful Indeed
for his preservation from a worso
fate. The horse's check-bit fll, and,
catching the Bhoft, the animal tore tho
bridle off. Mr. Russell jumped off and
grabbed hold of tho horse's nose and
mane. The animal started off and ran
like mad down Flannery's road. Mr.
Russell held fast so long us his
strength would permit. When cast off,
Mr. Russell was bleeding nnd fairly
exhausted. Tho horse ran home. The
buggy was badly wrecked.
NO TAX COLLECTOR.
Poor Board in Another Dilemma
These Says.
The Carbondale poor board Is mak
ing desperate efforts to elect a tax
collector, who must get down to work
gathering taxes. If the expenses of tho
district are to be mot In any kind of
season.
Last night another effort to muster
a quorum failed. This makes the
well, no one knows how many times
tho quorum failed to make good. If
this continuous performance continues
much longer, President, McCabe Is
likely to put a "want ad." In the dally
papers for a quorum. The sickness of
Directors Williams and McMillan, and
tho frail health of Director Morgan
Thomas are responsible for the lack
of a quorum.

Say what you will about druggists
offering something "Just as good" be
cause it pays a better profit, the fact
still stands that ninety-nine out of a
hundred druggists recommend Chamber-
latira cone, unoiera and Diarrhoea
Jtemedy when the best remedy for diar
rhoea la asked for, and do so because
they know it is thk one remedy that
can always be depended upon, even it
tho most evere and dangerous cases.
It is for- sale by all druggists.
THE ROOT OF THB MATTER
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to First
Principles.
A man ot large affairs in ono of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
nnd too many club dinners, finally be
gan to pay hnturo's tax, levied In tho
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure of his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making It Impos
sible to apply himself to his dally busi
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words lie says: "I con
sulted one physician after another and
each one scorned to understand my
case, but all the same they each failed
to bring about tho return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years I went from pillar to post, from
ono sanitarium to another, I gave up
smoking, I quit coffee and even re
nounced my dally glaps or two of beer,
but without any marked Improvement,
"Friends had often advised me to
try a well known'proprletnry medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments ot the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi
cine would touch my case.
"To make a long story short, I Anal
ly bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc
casionally a tablet between meals,
when I felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort.
"I was surprised at tho end of tho
first week to note a marked Improve
ment In my appetite nnd my. gen
eral health, and before the two
packages were gone I was cer
tain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
was going to cure completely and they
did not disappoint me. I can cat and
sleep and enjoy my coffee nnd cigar
and no one would suppose I had ever
known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to
tho proprietors of the remedy nsking
for information as to what tho tablets
contnlned and they replied that the
principal Ingredients we're aseptic pop
sin (government test), malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which di
gest food regardless of the condition of
the stomnch." .
The root of the matter Is this, the di
gestive elements contained In Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonics never give real
strength, they give a fictitious strength
Invariably followed by reaction. Ev
ery drop of blood, every nerve and tis
sue is manufactured from our daily
food, and If you can Insure its prompt
action and complete digestion by the
regular use of so good and wholesome
a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, you will have no need of nerve
tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years, yet probably every druggist In
the United States, Canada and Great'
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trouble.
