Very pretty friendships were
little strangers just arrived in a
new city or strange neighborhood.
In several instances Juniors were
saved from: serious accidents by
people who became their friends
forever. Others were rewarded
with the confidence OF little folk,
who did many little acts of kind
ness for them, gave them candy and
permitted unusual privileges. Vet
eran soldiers, explorers, sailors, and
travellers, all of whom told stories,
were also favored. Other Juniors
regarded pets as first friends-cats,
dogs, a rat, canary, and colt being
included.
There were happy and. sad end
ings to these first sweet friend
ships. Sometimes cherished friends
went away for their health and
never returned: others who were at
first .inseparable, were almost for

correspondence, and many are to-

FIRST FRIENDS
Amusing and Unique Ways in Which
Minneapolis Juniors Learned the
Meaning of Friendship. Z
Top1c-YoUR FIRST FRIEND.

RST friends were made in all sorts of interest
ing and laughable ways. Generally the girls
smiled and smiled ever so sweetly, then shyly
approached with an invitation to play; the
boys, in true boy fashion, stared for min
ute, then exchanged genial greeting. But
sometimes morsels of girls, instead Of smiling,
screwed up their small features into the most
alarming of faces; even the boys used this
popular method of showing Indifference. al
though in several cases they settled affairs
of honor with their fists. If quarrels did not
begin friendship they frequently happened, for

DEMOCRATS may WIN
PENNSYLVANIA.
Patterson and Pennypacker Con-
tending For the Governor
ship and Both Sides
Assured of Victory.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-After weeks
of campaigning, orators and party work
ers have finished their labors and both
sides await the issue on Tuesday. Sen
ator Quay, chairman of the Republican
State committee, left here today fol-
his homein Bearver, Pa. He has pre-
pared an estimate of the vote based
upon reports from important points
throughout the State, but will not
make it public until tomorrow.
Local Democratic leaders estimate
for r. E. Pattison, the Democratic
gubernatoral nominee, an aggregate
of 30, 444 votse in this city. They
express confidence that this will elect
their State ticket, figuring that Patti
son will have a majority in the State
outside of this city equal to the vote
here.
The general impression derived from
the claims of political leaders is that
there is much doubt concerning the
State ticket.
Of the 32 congressman to be elected
the Democrats claim they will have
at least seven. 1t is understood that
Senator Quay expects Former Judge
Pennypacker rep for governor, to
win by over 100, 600 majority, but the
leaders on the other side say the

The GUATEMALA VOLCANO.
Fields Are Covered With Ash.
ss and Brooks and Roads
Choked With Cinders.

Tapachutla, State of Chiaipas, Mex,
Nov. 2.-Growers on neighboring
haciendas will suffer great loss owing
to the fact that their stock cannot pro-
cure food, the fields being covered
with ashes from the Santa Maria vol
cano. The brooks are choked with
ashes and cinders and all the neighbor-
ing roads are. covered thick with ashes
and cinders.
It begins to Le seen that the coffee
planters will come off better than the
stock raisers. Diligent investigation
shows that there was no loss of life
during the recent disturbances though
what may have happened near the
volcano in Guatemala is not known
here. The people are beginning to
regain confidence though their expert
ence was a terrible one. One house
only was damaged during the earth
quake.
Reports from towns across the Qua
temala border shows that the alarm
was intense, everybody fearing a
similar fate as befell the people in
Martinique and ST. Vincent. What
most impressed every one was the
darkness which prevailed for more than
two days.
Government experts are studying
the effect of the volcanic eruption and
will soon make a report.

4 KENTUCKY FlEND.
Held For the Murder of His Baby
Boy--Affer Staying Child Fled
to the Woods With l5-Year
Old Daughter But She
Escaped.

Inez, KY, Nov. 2.-Pleasant Sprad
ing held for killing his 4-year-old Sol
and his 15-year-old daughter, il
threatened wish lynching. Sprading's
family consisted of his wife, thTet
daughters and son. With his
daughters and boy, the father was
herding sheep last Friday. The boy
was unable to keep up with the others.
The father placed his son on stone
beside spring, telling him to wait
ntuil his retrun. The boy becoming
tired, began to peel the loose bark Of
a tree that overhung the spring.
When the father returned he asked the
boy who had stripped the tree. The
boy replied that he had.
"I would rather have you dead than
raise you to destroy everything on the
farm,'' is the reply the father is>saio
to have made, and then, it is charged,
he picked up a stone and struck the
boy on the head, knocking him down.
Then, it is alleged, he kicked the pro-
strate baby in the head until he had
killed him, and, turning to has
daughters, threatened them with a
like fate if they ever told what had
occurred. Afterward he went home
and said the boy, while chasing
sheep, had run against tree and kill
ed himself.
Becoming alarmed sprading took
his eldest daughter and vent to the
mountains. His wife hired neighbors
to bury the body of the child and then
went to Judeg Hensley. She told
him OF the death OF her son and said
she suspected her husband, who told
her he was going into the woods to
hunt squirrels, and added that at
different times he had threatened to
kill the whole family. Judge Hensley
presented the case to the grand jury.
One of the little girls told the jury
that her father had kicked the boy to
death. Shortly afterwards a sherif's
posse captured Sprading in the woods,
but his eldest daughter was not with
him. The posse is still searching for
her, while Sprading is held on the
charge Of murder.
Cincinnati, Nov. 2.-Sprading's
missing daughter appeared today bare
footed and ragged after escaping from
her father in the mountains. She was
Immediately taken before the grand
ury and testified how her father kilt
ed the boy, threatened her life and
that of her mother. She testified that
he would have brained them before
but for the interference of neighbors.
Judge Hensley has the Jail so strong
ly guarded that there is no longer
any danger of lynching. Sprading
will be given speedy trial.

Incidents of Mondays Examina-
tion of the Mines and Viii
lagos by the Com
mission.

Hazleton, Penn, November 3.-The
anthracite strike commissioners spent
the entire day in the Lehigh Valley
region, visiting one mine and several
of the mining villages. While most
of the commissioners were looking over
the territory, Recorder Wright was
kept busy on the train in attending
to the correspondence of the commits
sion. Among the matters he disposed
of was the sending of copies of Presi-
ent Mitchell's statement of the miners
case, which was fled with the COM
mission on Sunday night before it's
departure from Scranton for this re-
gion, to all the coal companies invely-
ed in the present controversy.
Under the agreement made before
the commission at Washington the
operators will make reply in three or
four days.
The trip Of the commission through
this region was an interesting one.
the conditions Of mining being some
what different from hosessexisting in
the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys.
At nearly every station small crowd
was gathered to get glimpse of the
members Of the commission.
The comission's first stop of the day
was at Upper Lehigh, where A. G.
Eeisenring, superintendent Of the Up
per Lehigh Coal Company, took the
commissioners for drive through the
town. While in this place the arbitra.
tors visited one of the homes of the
miners, the first they have been ssin
since they have been touring the re-
gion. Drifton was the next place
visited, and there a crowd gathered
about the commission as Superinten-
dent Smith, of Coke Brotehrs' Com
pany, whose mines are located there,
explained the trouble between the COM
pany and its mon.
