EVENING CHAT

| Harrisburg has two infallible signs
that winter is approaching aside from
the reVerish political activity and the
wearing of light overcoats. These
signs are the stealthy manner in which
poys are approaching store boxes and
barrels which are of right size and
| dryness to serve for election bonfires
ana the other is the appearance of
announcements of those delecta BILE
rail- delicacies, scrapple and cornmeal
mush. The bonfire habit has sort of died
| out lately around election time, but il
is threatened with revival largely be-
| cause the political clubs have renewed
their old-time way of parading and
that gives the boys an excuse to stay
out IN the evenings and to whoop it
up There are evidently going to be
some bonfires next Tuesday no matter
who wins. AS for the delicacies,
ponhaus has been around for some
time. Just like oysters, but no one
likes them until the frost is on the
pumpkin like it was yesterday morn
ing. Now we can eat sausage buck
wheat cakes and other things to our
nearts content and have fine time.
