How "Little Pet" Found Her
Mamma.

COll6CGluS IlChoO6. LILO cuopPOA III
front of little girl who was
crouching in q corner near the
stove. Notwithstanding there was
cold northwest wind blowing, she
was thinly clad in torn calico
dress, and her feet we're destitute
of shoes and stockings.
AS she appeared to be alone, the
conductor asked:
"Have you a ticket, little girl7"
"What is that?"
Didn't whoever put you on the
car give you ticket"
Nobody put US on the car. We
came all by ourselves, didn't we,
Dolly?" she said, hugging dilap-
idated old doll.
Didn't your papa put you on
the car"
"No, we didn't tell him we were
coming, did we, Dolly?
The conductor took the little
girls hand in his. 1t was burning
hot. Her thin features were flush
ed, and her eyes were glistening
with fever.
"Your clothes are thin, don't
you feel cold sometimes ?"
ayes, we feel so cold, but We hug
up close together, don't we, Dolly?
When 1 find mamma she'll give us
some new clothes and some shoes"
"Where is your mammal
IL don't know, but I'll find her.
She came into my room last night
and put her hands on me and
kissed me-just as she used to be-
fore she went to sleep in long
box and went off on the railroad"
The conductor was puzzled. Had
the fever affected the child's
head?
II think you are lost, little girl.
What is your name"
"My name is Fanny, but mamma
used to call me Little Pet"
CPL send you back to your pa
pa. You have got papa, havn't
you, in Austin?"
A look of terror was frozen on the
little pinched features. Two thin
arms were thrown around the con-
ductor's neck.
"Please don't send me back to
pa" she said in piteous accents.
Ny new mamma will whip me and
lock me in the dark closet. Oh,
please don't send me back! I'll be
good. I'll give you Dolly. No, 1
can't give you Dolly. Mamma gave
me Dolly, but I'll let you play with
her. Please let me stay with you
till 1 find mamma"
"This is bad case of step moth
err" said the conductor to himself.
"This is some poor neglected little
creature. I've notion to take her
home and leave her with my kids.
One more won't make much diff
ference" "I'll not send you home.
Just lie down here" he said, fixing
up a place for her to lie on one Of
the seats.
The little waif was contented
and happy. She lay down and the
conductor covered her up with his
overcoat. Once or twice as he
passed by, he heard the little dead.
head passenger talking to her doll
about what they would do when
they found mamma.
At Taylor the northbound and
southbound trains met, and the
passengers got supper. As soon az
Conductor Hughes stepped on the
platform the operator called to
him.
"Here, Bill, here is telegram for
you"
He opened the envelope and
read:
"Put runaway child in charge of
conductor of southbound train for
Austin"
"Poor little creature" he NUT
tered; "she has q hard time Of
it in this world; but I'll wake her
up and give her some supper be-
fore l send her home to her folks"
He turned back into the car and
threw back the overcoat from the
sleeping child. She was hugging
her dolly to her breast. There
were tears on her pale, thin cheeks,

Remarkable Faith Cure.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 10. - Another
remarkable case Of faith cure by Mrs.
Woodwork, the trance evangelist, is
reported from Anderson, Ind. Mrs.
Elizabeth Farron had been an invalid
for 16 years. The physician bad pro-
nounced her case hopeless, saying that
death was but a question of a very
short time, and as a last resort it was
determined to apply the so-called faith
cnre. Accordingly a season of prayer
was offered in behalf Of the sick wo-
man, lasting from early IN the evening
until about midnight, when she claim
ed relief. She is now able to walk a.
bout and help herself, while a week ago
she was unable to raise hand or speak
above whisper.

COOPER, the chairman of the Repub-

Dear Sir: The State committee is in

win, if properly supported; which we
may lose. and lose disastrOnsly, if our
campaign fails for want of means to

\ Misrepresentation
OFFICE OF MASTER ,

CENTRE HALL, PA, March 80, 1856.
The representation in certain locali-
ties that the present "Tax Law" of
which so much is said is the patrons
Tax Bill" which was presented by the
State Grange to the State Legislature
at the last session lis without any tOun-
dation in fact. The present law is the
bill prepared four years ago by the joint
committee of both Houses Of the LegiS-
lature. Two yea ago it was defeated,
and was then again brought up at the
last session, amended, and its enact
ment secured. This measure is too
we'll understood to require explanation.
Like nearly all the tax laws on our
statute books, it is unconstitutional,
unjust and discriminating. The only
redeeming feature in it is that it COM
pels a return of all intereSt-bearing pa
pers. bonds, mortgages. etc, and would
the same rule apply to all classes OF yis-
ible and invisible property there could
be no objection to its searching ENROLL
ment or listing of property, for all who
seek the protection OF government and
wish to live under it. ought to be will
ing to contribute their even-handed
portion to its support. No good citizen
would object to this if all classes OF
property were enrolled and assessed
alike. The evils of the present system
of revenue laws is that certain proper.

Mr.. Shaeffer's Denial.

BELLEFONTE, Pa, Oct. y ,1SS6.
To the voters of Centre County In
answer to the scurrilouS article which
appeared in last weeks issue of the
keystone Gazette" Republican or
gan of this county, charging me with
corruption and the use of dishonest
methods IN securing my nomination to
the office of Prothonotary, l desire to
return my absolute and unqualified de-
nial.
I spent no money in my canvass for
the nomination except what was ne
cessary and lawful for printing and
travelling expenses and the assertion
that l admitted to a gentleman at
Centre Hall that had expended $1,000
to secure my nomination, and urged
the fact as reason why should be
elected, 1 pronounce rs absolutely false
in fact, and challenge proof to the con-
trary.
also brand as lie the charge that
votes were bought on the streets of
Bellefonte, or elsewhere, by me or by
anyone with my knowledge or consent,
and 1 challenge any and all persons to
prove it.
deny the truth of the charge that
any hotel was chartered by me or by
any one with my knowledge or consent,
or that any beer, whiskey. or other
liquor was bought by myself or by any
one acting under my authority, OR with
my knowledge or consent, to be used
for the purpose of inhuncins voters,
and defy proof of it.
l denounce the implied charge of
buying up election boards as utterly
false in fact. and malicious report.
Were any of the charges preferred
true, would not only be violater of
law, and subject, if elected, to prosecu-
tion and punishment, but might be pre-
vented from qualifying for the office, or
after being qualified be ousted by pro-
cess of law.
In my effort to secure my nomination
l did nothing unlawful, and nothing
from which have cause for fear, nor
of which am ashamed.
| am candidate for the office Of
ProthonOtary because | was fairly and
honestly nominated, and because | leei
able to discharge its duties in a salts
factory manner. L therefore ask you,
the voters of Centre county, for your
support, and should be elected | shall
be grateful and will discharge the duties
of the office with fidelity.
Very respectfully,
l.. a. SCHAEFFER.

THE repeated and unreasonable
campaign lies which the Republicans
are getting up just now with the pur-
pose of injuring the political record of
Messrs. Rhone and Woodward, the
democratic candidates for the Legisla-
ture from this county, will only serve
to deepen the determination of Demo
Gratis to elect these gentlemen three
weeks hence. Our opponents should
by this time have learned that though
it may be easy to tell an untruth it is
so much more difficult to furnish proof
with which to verify false statements.
