moneys for park purposes recognizing
that public comforts must be provided.
Our people are certainly urgent in
asking for this proposed park and there
is no earthly reason why they should
not have it.

The fortysiXth annual exposition of
the Lehigh County Agricultural Society
will be held at AlentOwn, September 20
to "a. From present indications it will
Surpass all previous exhibitions, and the
management have arranged to give all
who attend something new, novel and
intereting to see. No money has been
spared to make this the greatest fair in
this part of the country, and it is expect
ed that the attendance will be larger
than at any former fair. Fifteen thous-
and dollars will be paid in premiums
and speed purses. Competition is open
to the world and. every department will
be show in itself Five thousand dol
lars alone will be paid for the races,
which will, no doubt, attract the fastest
and best horses on the turf today.
Excursions and reduced rates have
been secured on all the railroads, and
thus far sixteen special excursions have
been booked during the week. All who
wish to see fine grounds, large exhibits,
and have good time should not fail to
visit The Great Allentown Fair.

thing that presented itself, he, like
sensible man, accepted it. He had been
at work not more than three months
when he noticed q sweet-faced girl who
rode on his car two or three times
week. She was one of the girls who
radiate sunshine. She smiled at every
one, including the conductor. His life
had been Il hard and lonely one, and it
is no wonder that the sight of the
gracious girl and the delicate scent of
her favorite perfume set him dreaming,

was established in n profession and
might meet this girl as an equal. lie
noted the birdlike turn of her head and
the tendrils of hair on her neck with a
lovers delight. If he had been more Of
Il clod and less of a dreamer thia
wouldn't have happened, but as it was
he was made ecstatically happy by the
opportunity to raise her umbrella CT
pick up her handkerchief
"One week he missed her. Another
passed and she did not appear. He
overheard conversation one day that
gave him the information he desired.
She was i'll at her home. He learned the
address. Next day some exquisite red
roses cheered the sight of the sick girl.
No card accompanied them. Every day
the gift was repeated.

evening when she returned from the
city with number of friends.
when the merry party alighted the
pretty girl looked shyly at the con

often led her to forget the less inn

Frolic knew how to buy things. Be
side he had been observing the scene
closely. He flew from Harry's shoul-
der to the stand, and in his blue cloak
and cap, and hoped along on one leg,
holding the money tightly clasped in
his other claw.
The parrot newsdealer was very
much surprised to see his queer Gus
toner, and was on the point of driving
him off. But when he saw the other
parrot gravely drop the pennies into
the box, just as all his patrons did, he
smoothed down his feathers again and
said "Thankee," as usual, while Frolic
dragged away paper from each pile
in his beak.
Harry and Frolic were talking now
with the boy, who told them the birds
name was Ned, and Frolic thought he
would be friendly, too. How do you

bird looked him over sharply and then
croaked out: mo time to chit. You

"oh, please!" put in Frolic.

We are not likely to think of romance
in connection with the man who rings
up fares. He is mortal like ourselves,
however, and, being so, is target for
Cupid's darts.
There is tall, quiet-mannered man
whose hair and mustache show the
frosts of age, who could tell an interest
ing story of an Improbable attachment
if he would.
You remember the tender little love
story that appeared in magazine form
year or two ago and which maidens
cried over and ladies speculated upon at
afternoon teas? 1t was as tantalizing
in it's way as Frank Stockton's veNa-
tious question, the lady or the tiger?
Did Luke know? the ladies asked each
other, and the answer was according TO
the temperament of the speaker, for
the author had left it mystery. Luke,
& bluff, lovable baciwoodsman, tells a
comrade about the sojourn of family
of wealth and culture in his neighbor-
hood one summer long before, and
about the lovely girl of queer actions.
Everyone who reads the story as the
author makes Luke tell it knows that
the girl loved Luke. There it ends,
with no promise of hopes fruition.

and always will be on account of the
strangest kind of a love story you ever
heard.
HE is a college man and has a lot
of energy. though you might think he
was lacking in anything like ambition.
After he graduated from college there
was no opening in professional or busi-
ness channels to him, for he was poor
boy who had worked his way through
college.
THE support of his mother and a
younger sister then devolved upon him.

FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 20, 1897.

ON the Philadelphia City and State.

FROM the Philadelphia City and State.
In common with the rest of the state,
Philadelphia politically has been thrown
into condition OF amazement by the
extraordinary changes in the executive
department in Harrisburg which cul-
minated in the appointment of David
Martin as secretary of the common
wealth in place of General Frank Reeder.
The governors falling out with Quay has
ended in a practical discharge Of the
Quay men in the gubernatorial cabinet.
The gauntlet has been thrown down for
bitter contest in the Republican party
at the next election of governor and
United States senator, the like of which
perhaps this state has never known.
For few days after the political diff
ferences at Harrisburg became known,
popular opinion among the respectable
and independent voters of this city favor
ed the governor. His vetoes of the per-
nicous bills fostered in the last legs-
lature were still in the public mind, and
the people did not agree with Senators
Penrose and Quay that the reason given
for requesting the resignation of Secre-
tary Reeder and Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Elkin was a trivial one.
These officials had signed an indem-
nifty bond for $40, 900 to reimburse State
Treasurer Haywood for money paid out
to men employed without authority for
the plain purpose of paying political
debts. Mr. Haywood apparently did not
object to paying out state money for un-
authorized purposes, but he wanted to
be personally guaranteed against loss.
This number of Quay politicians, in
Guiding General Reeder, Mr.. Elkin, and
others, agreed to do.
The bill providing for these places
was vetoed, and Governor Hastings
strongly objected to members of his own
official family indulging in such ques-
tionabe practices. Thus, when the gov
ernor stepped out in defiant opposition
TO the Quay element he was applauded
by those who depore the present condi-
tion Of affairs in this boss-ridden state.
Now the applause has suddenly ceas-

the better class of citizens and has
chosen for his new secretary of the com
monwealth petty politician of the worst
type. opposed to Quayism but closely
akin to it, the former undsputed master
of Philadelphia, David Martin. This
astute politician has accepted with
thanks, and the people are aghast.
Perhaps Martin has an equal claim tc
Office with Messrs. Quay and Penrose
but something better was expected from
the governor. So surprised were men
identified with tho cltys true interests
that they would not venture to express
opinions, and the opinions of politicians
identified with either Quay or anti-Quay
faction are valucless.
Some advantage may result from the
fight, but it seems doubtful, and there
are those who say that the willy Mr.
Martin will feather his own nest, make
peace with Quay, and that this state will
be further than ever from redemption
How long will the people endure being
thus plundered, tricked and ignored?

PARROT SELLS PAPERS.
How a Bright Bird Earns His Living

HOW u blru EARNS HIS
in New York.
Grandpa jerks farm, where Flo and
Harry were visiting, was not far from
New York city. One morning Grandpa
jerks said: Harry. to-day we'll take
Frolic to see a parrot that is smart
enough to earn his own living"
Where shall we find such parrot ?"
cried Harry.
Every day, on the New York side
of the ferry, pass place where a par
rot does a thriving business" was

Harry and Frolic went over the ferry

ticed a throng of men and boys around
little booth at a street corner and
all seemed to be watching something
curious and amusing. AS they drew
nearer they saw that the booth was
news stand-a news stand that ap-
peared to be tended only by a fine green
parrot.
The green parrot walked about over
the piles of newspapers. calling out:
paper. sir? Paper? Extra Sun?"
Grandpa jerks and his young people
stopped to look on. Every few mo-
ments some man would come up. take
a paper and toss two cents into little
box upon which the green parrot kept
an eye all the while. At such time the
bird stopped, nodded his head and said:
"Thankee." Then he began shouting
again: Paper? Extra SUM-"
'Is it possible that the parrot keeps
the stand alone?" cried Harry. Sup
pose somebody should cheat him by
taking more than one newspaper with
out paying for them, how would he
know"
NO one better try it, answered
grandpa. "Once boy tried to steal two
Telegrams, but the parrot pounced upon
him and gave him such a pecking and
nauling that he was glad to drop them.
But of course the parrot has partner.
Don't you see him?"
In the rear of the booth there was n
lad of about Harry's age. He had moth
ing to do, however, but watch the papers
and the box, and to come forward and
make change now and then.
Grandpa gave Frolic some pennies.
