BUNNlE.
Tho Cunning Plaything OF an Invalid Girl
How lie Lost Himself.

Tho Cunning Playthlng OF an Invalid Girl
How lie Lost Himself
Bunnie was not little boy, or girl,
but bright-eyed gray squirrel.
When very young he was given to a
little girl, who was sick, on her birth
day. She was in bed most of the time,
and little Bunnie would creep under the
pillows, or close to his new mistress, 10
keep warm. He grew very tame, and
he and his mistress were very fond Of
each other
Bunnie was growing larger and fatter
all the time. He became a beautiful
squirrel, with a glossy coat, and a
great fluffy tail that looked like gray
plume, il was so soft and pretty. He
had shining tin house TO live in, but
he did not like it one bit. He cried and
scolded, and beat the bars with his
paws so hard when he was put into 1t.
His mistress could not bear to see him
do this, and only shut him up when he
was naughty. So he used to run all
over the house, inside and out.
His nuts and other food he liked were
kept in a small tin box on a window
sill. Bunnie learned to raise the lid
with his teeth. He looked very cum
ming while opening the box, and sitting
beside 1t, nibbling nut, or piece OF
bread held In his paws.
He would play "hide-and-seek" with
his mistress. When tired of play he
would creep up to her, and rest his little
nose against her face or neck, and
sometimes creep into her pocket and 60
to sleep.
One day. Bunnie was missing. He
did not come TO his dinner; he could
not be found anywhere about the house
or yard. Where was Bunnie?
That night his mistress heard queer,
scratching sounds in the fireplace.
She listened, and wondered II it could
be Bunnie.
Then she got up, and, after much
pulling, moved small stove. Putting
her hand as far as she could reach up
the chimney, she felt a soft something.
II was Bunnie; and very black, scared
Bunnie, too.
He had fallen down the chimney and
been in the fireplace all day. He let
his mistress put him right into bowl
Of water, and while she washed him he
drank as much rs he could, for the poor
little squirrel was hungry, and thirsty, |
TOO. Bunnie slept that night on his |
mistress bed, as snugly as a squirrel
,ould wish. He never fell down the |
chimney again. Our Little Ones.

Needle Piercing Its Person.

Needle Piercing Its Person.
In the early part Of last fall John
Wendell, with his wife and little boy of
three years, moved from Chico to He'll
town, where he obtained steady employ
ment in the jute mill. On Monday aft
ernoon, while Mr.. Wendell was at the
mills, his wife was in the parlor at work
on the sewing machine, while her child,
Willie, was seated near the window,
directly in front of her, looking at one
of the large children's picture books.
Mrs. Wendell was sewing busily on the
machine, large and heavy one, when
suddenly the needle snapped. She re-
placed the broken needle and had again
taken her seat when she noticed her
child's head leaning upon the book.
Going over to him she was Mortified to
observe tiny stream Of blood trickling
down from his bright, golden hair
Little Willie was dead. The fatal nee
die, breaking, had been hurled through
the hair and had pierced the child's
medulla oblongata. With the bright
pictures of childhood still before him,
and with happy smile upon his young
face, he had gone to that land where
the spirits Of our loved ones join in
never-ending praise to Him that giveth
and Him that taketh away.

and many an eye in Helltown has shed

THE POLYGAMOUs MORMoNs.

Desperate Effort to Prevent Further Unfa-
vorahle Legislation by Congress.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA desperate effort is
being made by the polygamists of Utah and the
converts to the faith of Mormonsm to create
sympathy in congressional circles This is for
the purpose of thwarting the intention of mem
bers of Congress to pass an ant-polygamist law
which will blot out every vestige of the crime of
poygamy. ThesEdmunds law has proven sue
cessful in very largo measure, but there are
few weaknesses in it which it is proposed shall
be remeded. A determination is entertained on
the part of all Republican senators and repre-
sentatives, and number of Democratic, to so
amend the Edmunds law that even the smallest
of the fishes cannot get through the net
The tactics employed by the Mormons of Utah
to defeat further legislation on the subject of
polygamy is nothing more nor less than GEN
eral lobby movement They are addressing let
ters to all the statesmen here they can reach
and are pouring forth piteous tales of woe and
depression on account Of the execution of the
present laws AS the press dispatches have re-
lated during the past week. they claim that the
federal officers 60 far beyond the outlines of the
law and overreach its spirit to prosecute Nor
mons. They claim that they are willing to obev
the law as it relates to polygamy, but that Nor
monism is their religious faith. and that they
have as much inherent right to possess it as fol-
lowers of other religious beliefs have to cling to
their religion. Anti-polygamists, however,
write here that the Mormons are banded to-
gethsr as they were years ago, when they com
mitted acts of desperation, and that they all
wink at the covering up of polygamous practices
and assist each other in maintaining plural
wives. Statesmen who have expressed opinions
upon the disturbances in Utah say that they ia
vor sufficient additional legislation to put an end
to all such scenes Of social distress as arc being
enacted there at this time.

EXPLOSION In A COAL MINE.
Three Men Reported Fatally Injured and
Several Others Very Seriously Hurt.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. A-A friehtful ex-
plosion of gas took place this morning in Mill
Creek mine, operated by the Delaware & Hud
son Coal Company At the time of the accident
there were about one hundred miners, laborers
and boys in the slope. The Iews spread rapidly,
and the whole population seemed to have gath
cred about the colliery. The explosion occurred
in No lift, which is located at the extreme end
OF the opening of the slope, being 900 feet from
the mouth. and therefore it's ventilation was a
difficult problem. The gas had ienited in the
breast, where miner named Coffy
was at work An exploring party of
some twenty miners entered the slope
as soon as the news had reached
the surface. and it was soon discovered that many
had been burned. Tho rescuers at once began
to remove them. Among those seriously injured
are George Martin. miner; John Cleasby, labor
er; Nicholas Gray, driver; Peter Coffy. miner;
Sam Mossis. laborer; Joseph Parduski, driver,
and Peter Stone. laborer. Since writing the
above Martin has died. Many others are injured
moro or less from flying pieces of coal and wood.
Joseph Ceasby is badly burned and his skull is
fractured. He cannot survive. Peter Coffy is
seriously burned on the face and arms, and is in
ternally injured. He was brought to the top
naked his clothing having been burned from his
body. His recovery is considered doubtful.
Nicholas Gray, the driver boy, had his right eye
torn from it's socket

prison. and was made superintendent of the Sun
0ay-schooL When he got out his first wife was
divorced, and his second one wouldn't live with
him. lie was sent by the Catholics to Australia,
hard hall and dram shop which failed, and he
taught for a while in the Methodist St. Alfred's
College at Melbourne, following this with a
life of dissipation, which he abandoned to marry
an estimable young lady, who however, found
him out before the ceremony was performed, and
he had to sail for England, whence he came to
America in 1882. The Burlington episode
followed, and then he went to Freehold N. j.. In
stltute and became also an Episcopal lay reader
