friends all over the State instead of just
in Topeka. | live in Topeka and like
it better than any other town / ever

and that's the only time ever was on
the cars, had nice time then playing
with my little cousins, they aren't as
big as l am, I'm years old.
| wonder if It's as hot in the country
as it is in Topeka, I've never been in
the sure enough country but Mamma
says | may go some day | know lots
of girls and boys and on some days they
come over to my house to see me and
we play with our dolls on our big porch.

l sell the pins to Mamma. l make the

liners on Kansas Ave-, full Of little flow
ers and grasses, and ribbons when I
have any to put on them. This is a
very long letter and I'm afraid that you

A Spring rlOrn.

/ was on my way to church one glo-
rious Sabbath morn.
No annoying rain had come to prevent
the wearing Of the new hat and dainty
gloves. The rustic of my silk-lined
frock as | glanced down at my pretty
red shoes, was as music to my ears.
The car stopped at Second street, and
frail old man got on. A youth helped
him in and said, Now, grandpa, don't
you try to go on alone, you just sit down
In the transfer station and wait for
Uncle Frank. Somebody will help you
off the car. Goodbye"
When we reached the transfer station
the conductor helped him off, but the
poor man seemed bewildered, and stood
trembling in the street No one came
to his assistance, and he stayed there
helplessly looking around
/ debated with myself "Shall l go
and help that ragged old man? He does
not look clean. If l touch him | will
soil my gloves. No, won't. Yes, l
had better"
Thus / argued. At last the object Of
my mental conflict tottered, and started
as though he would fall | put aside
vanity and rushed toward him, but be-
fore reached him little girl only 10
years old stepped up to his side, and like
little Lord Fauntleroy said, Lean on
me, I'll take you into the station"

child dressed elegantly with face in
which Nature, in giving her more than
her share, had been extravagant with
beauty, The old man. in rags; his face
expresslonless; his form bent low, as he
leaned on her sturdy young shoulder.

Since Miss May seems to be so inter-
ested in cats / wonder if she would not
like to hear about our State house cat
Yes, we have a cat here in the State
house. She is not a pretty cat at all,
but a poor, ugly gray one She used to
look very thin but she is getting to be
fat now. l don't know how she came
to be State house cat. l think she
just wandered in and since she is fed
and treated so nicely she has made up
her mind to stay and be a good Populist
like all Of the rest of us. She visits all
of the offices during the day, sometimes
she is in the historical rooms and some>
times in the Office of the Labor Com
missioner, where she is always sure to
share the lunch with some of the clerks,
for we are very much attached to her.
She walks through the corridors as in
dependently as If she were the Gov
ernor and meows so loudly that we all
know that she will never die of con-
such as strong lungs. She has
just lost her entire family of dear little
kitties, which made us feel very sorry
for her. l wish that some of the Ad-
vocate folks would suggest a name for
all she is called now is the State house
cat. NJ L. D.

A Letter About Kittens.

Dear Miss Mabel Diggs-I saw such
a funny sight the other day that I want
to write about it for our page and see
II the other children don't think it's
funny too. am 8 years old and have
been to see my grandma all summer,
but when | came home on the train Ia
when saw this. The big engine stopped
at a little town to take water so it could
go farther, it seemed awful thirsty and
puffed and made big noise like en-
gines do, you all know how it sounds.
The mail was going to be put on too
for bus was at the little depot with
two great horses hitched to it, they were
hot and excited for they had had to run
to catch the train. While they were
standing there the cunningest little kitty
ran out from under the walk by the de-
pot and began to new at the top of it's
voice. 1t attracted the attention of all
the passengers and they looked out of
the window to see what was making
such a big noise. The little kitty ran
right to the train and would have gone
under and been killed but the engineer
fished it out, then 1t ran as fast as it
could go right under the horses's feet,
then all the people in the car called
Kitty, kitty" because we were so
afraid it would be stepped on and killed.
But when we began to call another lit
tie puss just the size Of the first one ran
out from its hiding place and together
they made an awful noise. The first lit
tie cat was so scared it did not know
what to do, the engine was making so
much noise and it was too, and the peo-
pie were all calling to it for you see we
expected every minute that those big
horses would step on it and kill it and
We just held our breath to see what
would happen next Well, the next
thing we knew that kitty ran up one

A Story of Two Seeds.

Long, long ago. two seeds lay beside
each other in the earth, waiting. 1t
was cold, and rather wearisome; and,
to beguile the time, the one found means
to speak to the other.
"'What are you going to be?' said the
one.
"T don't know, answered the other
For me, rejoined the first, 4 mean
to be rose. There is nothing like a
splendid rose. Everybody will love me
then
It's all right whispered the second;
and that was all he could say; for some
how when he said that, he felt as if all
the words in the world were used up
So they were silent again for day or
two.
"'Oh, dear!' cried the first, 4 have
had some water. 1 never knew till it
was inside me. I am growing! I'm
growing! Good by!'
"'Good by repeated the other, and
lay still; and waited more than ever.

of the horses legs just as fast as it
could go, and oh how the horse did
prance and kick to get it down, then
the second little cat seeing its mate up
there, ran up the other horses leg. Oh
ii was funny to see them claWing into
those poor horses who were so fright
ened that 1t was all the driver could do
to keep them from running away, we
laughed till we almost cried, 1t was
such a funny thing l wish you could
have seen it, Mamma said she thought
someone must have dropped the cats
there because they did not want them
any more.
like cats very much and that is like
a little boy | heard of in Pennsylvania
who used to tell stories sometimes and
he liked cats too he said that his papa
had cat farm where there were white
cats and black ones and pink and green
ones and red and all colors which of
course was a story but it makes me
laugh to think of so many colored cats
wish that there were pink and green
kittles they would be so pretty then I'd
tie ribbons around their necks just to
match.
Well, l guess Miss Mabel, you'll think
that this is the longest letter any body
ever did write. didn't mean to write
so much but | like to write, so don't
know hardly when to stop.
Your loving friend,

"The first grew and grew, pushing it.
self straight up, till at last it felt that 1t
was in the open air and could breathe.
And what a delicious breath that was!
1t was rather cold, but so refreshing.
The flower could see nothing, for it Is
not quite flower yet, only plant; and
they never wait till their eyes come, that
Is, till they open their blossoms, then
they are flowers quite. So it grew and
grew, and kept its head up very steadily,
meaning to see the sky the first thing,
and leave the earth quite behind as we'll
as beneath it. But somehow or other,
though why it could not tell, it felt very
much inclined to cry. At length 1t
opened its eye. It was morning and the
sky was over its head; but, alas itself
was no rose-Only a tiny white flower.
1t felt yet more inclined to hang down
its head and to cry; but it still resisted,
and tried hard to open its eye wide, and
to hold its head upright, and to look
full at the sky.
." L will be a star Of Bethlehem at
least!' said the flower to itself.
But its head felt very heavy; and
the cold wind rushed over it and bowed
it down towards the earth. And the
flower saw that the time of the singing
birds was not come, that the snow COW
cred the whole land, and that there was
not a single flower in sight but itself
And it half closed it's leaves in terror
and the dismay of loneliness. But that
instant it remembered what the other
flower used to say; and it said to ITSELF
It's all right; / will be what | can
And thereon it yielded to the wind
dropped its head to the earth and looked
no more on the sky but on the snow.
And straightway the wind stopped, and
the cold died away and the snow
sparkled like pearls and diamonds; and
the flower knew that it was the holding
up Of its head that had hurt it so; for
that its body came of the snow, and
that it's name was Snow Drop. And so
it said once more, It's all right and
waited in perfect peace. All the rest
it needed was to hang its head after it's
nature"
Zone day pale, sad looking girl, with
thin face, large eyes, and long white
hands, came hanging her head like the
Snow Drop, along the snow where the
flower grew. She spied it, smiled JOY
Ously, and saying, All! my little sister,
are you come" stopped and pucked the
Snow Drop. 1t trembled and died in her
hand; which was heavenly death for
snow drop; for had it not caused a
CLEAN of summer, pale as it had been
itself, upon the heart of a sick girl?"
"The other had a long time to wait;
but it did grow one Of the loveliest roses
ever seen. And at last it had the high
est honor ever granted to flower; two
lovers smelled it together, and were con-
tent with it."-Extract from David
Elginbrood."

Last night boy excitedly notified Police
man Uraitis, on West Centre street, that a
man was cutting another's throat with a
razor in house on West Line street. The
policeman hurried to the place indicated and
found Jacob Berkawicz, of Shamokin, calmly
seated in a chair while the proprietress of
the house, Mrs. Amelia Langowski, stood
before the man. scolding him, and threaten
ing him with arrest. No cutting had been
done. Upon the wOmans demand the Sha-
mokin man was taken to Justice Shoemaker $
office Some excitement was caused along
the route taken to the office, by reports that
the prisoner was Bialecki. At the hearing
Mrs. Longowski said Berkawicz left hel
house last week owing her board bill to the
amount of $40. He returned yesterday
and, when she refused to give him his cloth
ing unless he would pay the bill, he threat
ened to Fix" her and her husband. The
woman said she was afraid of the man, be.
cause he frequently threatened to cut peoples
throats and it was known that he made O
practice of carrying razor. LonVowski was
put under bail for trial at court.

At about one O'Clock this morning Justice
Shoemaker was called to his office to give a
hearing to George Krystof, who was arrested
for assaultIng Nicholas Stulyanczak and his
wife, Annie. 1t was charged that because
he found flies in sugar bowl on the dining
table Krystof threw the bowl at Mrs. Stul-
yanczak, gashng her right cheek, and also
assaulted the husband. The accused was put
under $500 bail. During the hearing Justice
Shoemaker noticed that Krystof was acting
in strange manner, and that he was bleed
ing at the ears. He said Stulyanczak had
struck him behind the left ear with piece
of plank. Subsequently Krystof was ex-
amincd by DIR. Church, who found that the
mans skull was fractured. The doctor says
the victim will recover. 1t appears that after
Krystof threw the sugar bowl Stulyanczak
hit him with the piece of plank. The latter
has not been prosecuted.

Miss ioyt SIN Goif thnmblon.

New York oct. 17.--For the third
successive year will Miss Beatrice Hoyt
carry the highest golf honors which 1t
is possible for a woman to attain in
America. She won the championship
of the United States Saturday by a
good exhibition of golf in the final
round of the arduous. but intensely
interesting tournament that had been
in progress on the Ardsley club links
ever since Tuesday. Miss Hoyt de-
feated Miss Maude X. Wetmore by the
score of five up and three to play. 1t
was a well contested match, and the
exhibition of golf was undoubtedly the
best that has ever been seen in this
country between women.
