mated the number ofs cows in the State

The Presidents Plan.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-Mr. Springer
dem. to-day introduced in the House a
bill designed to carry out the recommen-
Congress. The bill provides for the issue

the par value of bonds deposited; for the
retirement of silver certificates of less de-
nomination than ten dollars and for the
issue of small notes in their place, and
requiring the payment of all import du-
ties in gold.

JoHNSTOwN, Pa, Jan. 27.-The pangs
af a guilty conscience caused William
Barns, a constable of Morrellville, to 90

A Tale Of Pennsylvania in 1894.

From the Chicago Record.
CHAPTER L
II was bright and beautiful morning
in one of the Ioveliest communities in
Pennsylvania. Afir the distant spires Of
many villages conld be observed. and on
the broad highways an animated scene
presented itself Carts and carriages OF
all descriptions were in motion past the
thriving town. where a stranger stood
taking in his first glimpse of Pennsylva-
mia life. Presently farmer with kind
" expression of countenance drove past
upon a load Of farm produce.
'' Want lift, stranger?'' he asked.
Thank you
The stranger climbed into the vehicle.
CHAPTER Il.
- the cart in which the stranger had
seated himself progressed on It's journey
il was accompanied 10y an ever increasing
caravan Of vehicles, all bearing crowds Of
country folk in their holiday garb. Look

CHAPTER IL
Midday The burning sun shoae upon
the vast concourse Of people That had as
seII.bied before a modest dwelling isolated
half way between two towns. Every
where was excitement and the signs Of
fcverish interest. The farmers. as they
left their vehicles, stood round in little
groups, talking in low tones Of sappEesssd
wonder. Some of them had been on the
road for many days and were half worn
ont l5y fatigue. but had lost all sense of
weariness.
Suddenly the crowd Of Pennsylvanians
was stilled by mad shout.
CHAPTER ".
WHATS the matter? What is it,"
asked the stranger, whose own feelings
10y this time had been wrought up to a
high pitch.
"Therei There. That's him! That's
him - chorused a dozen voices. hoarse
with excitement. 4 man Of ordinary APP
pearance had emerged from the dwelling.
WELL asked the stranger, whats
he?,
Another shout of wild interest ans
wered the question for him, aud a father
at the strangers side raised his child
high in his arms to see, and joined in the
wild chorus:
