Especial. Correspondence.l

Special Correspondence.
Harrisburg, Sept. 20.
Now that the political campaign can
be said to he fairly under way, inter
est is taken in the reports that are
coming from every section of Pennsyl-
vania regarding the sentiment of the
voters toward the rival candidates for
the presidency. Men employed in the
several state departments who mingle
with the voters in their respective
counties are in a splendid position to
gauge the public pulse. Within the
last few days a careful canvass has
been made for frank, unbiased and alb
solutely impartial reports from these
men, and visitors who are brought here
on official and private business. and
there is a remarkable unanimity indi-
eating a great poular tide of sentiment
in favor of President Roosevelt's elec.
ton.
Democrats privately admit this to be
a fact and when talking to friends
many of them admit that they have
already given up the fight.
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance has
probably had more to do with empha-
sizing the popular feeling regarding
his candidacy than any other feature
or phase of the canvass.
The Presidents letter of acceptance
rang true. 1t was characteristic of the
man, through and through-honest,
frank, straightforward, fearless and
patriotic.
His letter may well be perused by
all. All will agree, although they may
not agree with all of the Presidents
views, that every subject is frankly
discussed, that there is no lurking in
the dark, no skulking, no ambiguity
nor insincerity. Mr.. Roosevelt has
something important to say, and goes
about it in a straightforward, manly
way. True, his letter may not abound
in figurative language and literary ele-
gance, but it is the product of man
deadly in earnest, possessed of the
highest motives.
Al the outset Theodore Roosevelt
was beset and probably will continue
to be beset, with adverse criticism from
the Democratic party, and in every
instance he has boldly defended him
self; in fact, vindicated himself The
Panama question, the pensions mat.
ter, the government expenditure and
others are ably defended and justified
Certainly his attitude toward the
Philippine Islands question is lust
equitable and sensible. He would give
the inhabitants self government and
do everything possible to better their
condition but he would be slow to
make rash promises, to break faith
with the people of the Philippines.
Mr. Roosevelt points with pride to
Governor Taft's admirable administra-
ton in the islands, and shows how dis
astrous il would be to do anything
that would again incite insurrection.

very beautiful, it is true, but I would
like to see it shine as it did last night.

ut is very strange" declared the
rooster, as he sat and waited.
All the other chickens had gone to
roost hours before, but still the rooster
waited and watched.
Then the wind began to blow and
the thunder to roll and the lightning to
flash, and the first thing Mr.. Rooster
knew it was raining in torrents, and he
was soaked to the skin, and most
frightened out of his pits.
"I'll save the MOON" he cried, and
he grabbed up the ball and tried to
run with it. When he reached the hen
house door the rain had stopped, and
the wind had swept the clouds from
the sky, and Mr. Rooster looked up
and saw the moon smiling sweetly at
him.

ball. "Well, l guess it must be one OF

SKIN SOFA PILLOWS.
Has Taken Eastern HOusekeep-
ers by Storm.

The woman who does not own skin
sofa pillow has not acquired the latest
fad, which was born of sorrow over the
death of pet.
This pet was calf, which had met an
untimely end, thereby awakening much
grief among the feminine members OF
the family. In the midst of their
woe it suddenly occurred to one
of the girls that, inasmuch as a
stuffed calf would be rather out
OF place in the household, the
skin might be used for some other pur-
pose. That was when the pillow idea
presented itself.
The men scoffed at the proposition and
| said that it was absurd, but they had to
admit that the glossy brown skin, with
| its beautifully marked white spots, was
to handsome to be buried with the calf,
| so before the last sad rites were per-
formed the body of the little Jersey was
skinned.
In due time the skin was cured,
trimmed into shape and used to cover
an air cushion. 1t was made square,
with the exception of the corners, which
were trimmed to represent ears-three
at each corner, and tried with strips of
skin had the look of delicate shade
of panne velvet.
This novel method of preserving the
pet calf's skin suggested to some one
else an idea which resulted in another
unusual pillow. On square of plain
chamois skin a fireplace was painted.
bricks and all, showing the glowing
wood, the kettle and andirons. Paper
patterns of cat and two kittens wert
cut and piece of black fur was brough,
into requisition for the Tables Tn,
fur was cut the same size as the patterns
padded slightly and glued securely to
the chamois skin. The cats were placed
at an angle that brought them to the
left OF the hearthstone, facing the blaze
and with their backs to the public-a
thoroughly domestic scene.
The Washington Star says that some
of the newest college pillows are made
of skins. An especially handsome one
was recently fashioned out of a black
and white calf skin, yellow channels
