Gods Kitten.

One day boy was tormenting kit
ten. His little sister. with her eyes full
OF tears. said to him: "Oh. Philip! don't
do that; it is Gods kitten" That word
of the little girl was not lost. 1t was on
wheels. Philip left off tormenting the
kitten. but he could not help thinking
about what his sister had said. Gods
kitten, Gods creature-for he made it,"
he said to himself II never thought of
that before" The next day, on his way
to school. he met one of his companions
beating numerically poor, half-starved
looking dog. Philip ran up to him, and
before he knew it was using his sisters
words, saying, Don't! don't do that,
Ned; it's Gods creature. The Little
Christian.

Who Knows Them?

There we're once two little sisters who
lived in the same house. One little girl
had pleasant things happening to her
every day; but the other little girl was
always in discomfort about something.
"Dearies." said mamma, "it is too
stormy today for you to go out"
20. then we can use our new tea-setw
cried the first little girl. "You promised
we could the first rainy day. How
NICE"
Dear mel" exclaimed the second little
girl, that's always the way. 1 particu-
larly wanted to go out today. Now 1

1t did seem queer, didn't it?
By and by, after fit Of sulks, the Sec
ond little girl consented to play tea
party. They ran to fetch their tea
table.
But you broke the table last week."
mamma reminded them. Il sent it to
be mended. I'll put this board across
two stools for you. That will make a

I can't find the right things. 1t seems
as if it happened on purpose"
"But see, it's prettier shape" said
the first little girl. Its square one.
Plenty of room for all the new dishes,
and room for every doll. Isn't that
lucky?"
So they played tea party awhile, and
presently mamma called:
"Come, children, the rain has stopped,
and we can go for bit of walk before
supper. Get your rubbers and thick
coats"
20, good!" shouted the first little girl.
"Then we can have fun. We can run
through all the puddles, and our thick
coats are our old ones; so it won't mat

JOHN AND NAN.
BY CLARA DorY BATES,

Little job and his sister Nan
Made in their little heads plan.
When tired of play they were. one day,
They set their hearts on running away;
And with no regard to this or that
One would carry the old white cat,
And one would carry the small white kit.
That sometimes scratched AMI sometimes bit.
And they would run so far, so fast,
TIL y would come to the end of the world at
last.
So fast and far they would fly and fly
They could touch the blue edge of the sky,
So little Nan and her brother John.
With neither hat nor bonnet on,
He with his arms shut close and tight
Round the neck of old pussy white;
She with her arms around the kit
Carrying, hugging, squeezing it.
Started to run so far and fast
They should reach the end of the world at last
Started so fast and far to fly
They could touch the blue edge Of the sky.
But cat and kitten proved such weight
They went no farther than the gate.

HAT night it was very
still in the garden-even
the soft southern breeze

Only the great silver moon ana tne
countless twinkling stars kept watcn
over the peaceful scene, shedding a
faint, mystic light through the quiet
leaves of the trees and shrubpery
down upon the sleeping flowers
grouped in their beds 80 costly.
The town clock changed out the
hour of twelve. The tall lily near
the center of the garden trembied at
it's vibrations, and the rose nearly
mu,mured in her dreams; three tiny
baby pansies in their little nest OF
green awakened with a start-and
Heartsease-the oldest of the three,
whispered to her companions:
"Oh! dear, / am SO frightened.

nesting closer down in her covering
while little White-beart, the FINEST

"Don't cry, DEAR" said Heartsease'
soothingly, "when our fairy god
mother comes we'll beg her to change
us into real children, and then we'll
never be afraid when that great CLOCK
strikes"
Just then aquaint little figure, clad
in garments made from clover leaves,
with hood of pale pink made OF one
rose leaf, and slippers of for-get-me-
nots, came skimming down the path,
her delicate wings carrying her safe
ly over the rough pebbles; she alight-
ed in the bed of pansies, and Hearts
ease and her mates gave glad cry
of welcome as their bright eyes be-
held her.
"Godmother," cried all three in one
breath, snake us real, live children,
we are so tired of being only pansies,
and we are afraid every time the great
clock strikes"
MAKE you real, live children, to
suffer as we'll as to enjoy as real, live
children do?" asked the fairy god
mother, seating herself in the center
of a green leaf, and swaying gently
back and forth, one tiny foot touch
ing the ground, as child swings
herself in hammock.
"Ahl yes," cried Heartsease, I'VE
pansies suffer too. Some days the
sun is SO hot we can scarcely breathe,
some days the rain is cold and chilly,
some days the frost nips us, and again
the heavy white snow buries us from

dear, grant our wish, and make US

The godmother sighed and shook
her head SO hard that the rose leaf
hood nearly fell off, then she slowly
said:
MY dear little ones, if l do that
those three little girls will have to be-
come pansies in your places, and per-
haps they will not be any happier
than you are. What then? I'll not
have the power to change you all
again. Do you wish to take SO great
a responsibility"
Yes, yesl" cried the three, in one
voice.
Up rose the fairy godmother, and
flying over the heads of her god
children, she waved her magic wand
three times, and lol a great change
took place.
The three discontinued pans:es
were waited away to the nursery in

II the general sentiment concerning
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
personally-conducted tours to Florida is
to be taken as an index of their popu-
larity, they may in all verify be styled
the ideal tours.
The next and last OF this seasons
series of tours to Jacksonville will leave
New York and Philadelphia on March
20, and the rate, including rouud-trip
transportation and meals and Pullman
berth on special train going, is $4,000
from New York and S4S.O0 from Phila-
delphia; proportionate rates from other
points. Tickets for this tour will be
good for return passage on regular
trains until May 81.
The number of persons for which ac-
commodations can be provided is neces-
sarily limited, and it would therefore
be prudent for those who desire to join
this party to make early application for
space,

following account of how farmers are
being caught on the bill board privi-

farmers fence and give him few dol
lars to guarantee them that no one else
will be permitted to paint signs over
them. The farmer is asked to sign a
receipt acknowledging the payment Of
the money in order that they can re-
turn the same to their employer The
receipt which he signs turns out to be
a promissory note for 5000 or $500, as
the case may be.

When one looks at it from the right
stand point the tax of one mill on building
and loan associations, as is proposed by a
bill now in the State Legislature, is an
imposition. Through the many build
ing and loan associations throughout the
state, Pennsylvania takes the lead in
the prosperity of the working classes.
Many homes are built at the cost of
what the house would rent for and if
this additional burden were put on the
associations it would come off the stock
holders, the majority of whom are men,
bers OF the associations because through
the association they expect to ultimate
ly own home. These associations en-
courage home building, encourage
economy and industry, and better citi-
zens is the result. Therefore the State
should encourage and foster such socie-
ties. The borrower in these associations
pay real estate tax and he should not
be asked to pay another tax. There are
1899 associations In the state, with as
sets Of nearly s1O4, 900, 900. The gains to
shareholders are GIT 100000. The total
expense of carrying on the business OF
last year was 1881 900, or three cents q
day to the four hundred directors doing
their business. There are 284, 900 mem
bers and 10, 700 homes have been built
by aid OF these associations. s.--Punxsu'

another is trying to sell his for less

spending all he can make in taking his
girl to the theatre and sending her
flowers, with the hope OF making her

Whether you fight or work, don't

The noise and zizzle of the locomotive
are not force. All force is silent. The
heehaw of the mule may startle you
but it is not nearly so dangerous as his
hind legs. Bear in mind that it is the
empty wagon that rattles most when in
motion. The noise Of the drum is due
to the fact that there is nothing in it.
Bear in mind that you can't startle the
world by jumping up and hollering

take OF believing otherwise"

There is severe law in the state of
Pennsylvania against selling cigarettes
to anyone under the age of 16 years,
and it is safe to assume that parents
will not willingly furnish their children
with cigarettes or give them money to
purchase them, but in spite OF paternal
admonition and state laws many chill
'.dren are seen putting the vile stuff that
goes into manufacture of cigarettes.
The effects are deadly. The poison, in
sidious and apparently almost harmless
at first, gets into the system, and once
there it is as hard to uproot as the Can
ada thistle is from land. The taste for
the cigarette once acquired may be
broken, but it takes more effort than
most cigarette fiends can make, for one
of the chief attributes Of the little pest
is that it seems to SO sap the vitality as
to leave its victim helpless to resist.

A STATE CONVENTION,

Last week Immediately alter the
State Democratic committee IN its
nominating session ordered prl-
mary election over the State to
nominate candidates for State 9th
ces a committee was appointed to
draw up plan for the primary
and report at the night session
That night subcommittee
brought in majority report in ia
vor of primary election IN JuIy' at
which the candidate for each office
who received the largest number
Of votes should be the party noml-
nee. Hon. G.. A. Wilson, the only
dissenting member, submitted a
minority report providing tor a
system which THE STAR has con
tended for all along, That is, for
a primary election to be followed
bv a State convention, at which
the delegates would vote the ex-
pressed will OF the various coun-
ties. This method would, III our
opinion, be free from the evils
that attend both the convention
and primary system and at the
same time contain all the good OF
both.
Mr.. Wilson's report precipltated
a lengthy and heated discussion
which resulted in the committee
reversing itself and ordering State
convention for August 9TH.
While the convention is not
what we wanted, still it is prefera
bic to the plan first proposed by
the committee. The evils thai
would arise from a State primary
with plurality rule are greater
than the evils Of a convention.
