THE PUNfPKIN-FACE MAN

Oh, the pumpkin-face man is a queer
little elf.
He lives all day long on the mante
shelf;
He has no body, he has no feet,
He has no hands, yet from his seat
On the mantel shelf he smiles on all;
On fat ones and thin ones, on large
ones and small.
Tho the pumpkin-face man only lives
a short while
He always is smiling a wonderful
smile.
His skin is yellow, his teeth yellow
too
But he doesn't care-so why should
you?
For tits Halloween time and the barns
are full,
And he is the fairy elf bountiful.
But the pumpkin-face man loves best
of all
The time when dark shadows begin
to fall;
Then his candle heart just burns
and glows
For it's made of wax-as everyone
knows.
And there on the mantel he sits Sc
rene,
Beaming the soft light of Halloween

North and the South. He chose to
remain in the service and throughout
a long period of years he served as
a captain, then as major and finally
as colonel. Had it not been for the
outbreak of the war with Spain he
might never have attained promotion
above that rank. His activity in that
brief disturbance was such as to
bring him to the attention of Wash
ington and just before his retirement
he was elevated to the high place of
Acknowledgements.
Few men have deserved promotion
more than he. His whole life was
devoted to the development and sue
cess of the army. Through forty
years of service he was ever fearless,
willing and resolute. A brave and
efficient soldier died in his passing.

TI IME has worked wondrous
changes in the United States
\ For instance, just 1913 years ago
the 74-gun line-of- battle ship
America was launched at Portsmouth.
n. H. If the word had been in use,
this battleship would have been known
as Americas first "dreadnought." 1t
was built under the direction of Paul
Jones, the famous naval hero of the
Revolution.
When Jones returned from Europe
in 1871, after his battle on the Bon
homme Richard with the Scraps, Con-
gress rendered him a vote of thanks
and authorized him to go ahead and
build the America to drive the British
from our waters. But it took time
then, as well as now, to build battle
ship. and before the America was fin
ished the war had ended. Congress
presented the ship to France to offset
the loss Of the 74-gun French ship
Magnif1que, which had been destroyed
in Boston harbor. So the first line-of-
battle ship the United States ever built
never had a chance to show it's fight
ing strength under the American flag.
To-day the superdreadnought Penn
sylvania is to the battleship Connecti-
cut as the gunship America was to the
converted East Indiaman. the Bon
homme Richard. in which Paul Jones
first made the American navy power
on the sea. When the Bonhomme
Richard defeated the Scraps the
American nation numbered less than
100000 people; to-day it has more
than thirty times that number, but it
has a navy ten thousand times as
strong as it's little collection of war
ships in Revolutionary days.
One of the smallest gunboats to-day
could sink the whole fleet of brigs and
schooners OF 1875. and possibly whiT

THE LAST SHOT"

~ EADERS of the Telegraph have
* enjoyed the latest product of
l. y the pen of Frederick Palmer,
"The Last Shot" which has
run in serial form in this newspaper
for the past six weeks. They will
be pleased to learn that the descrip-
tions of modern warfare contained
therein, while purely imaginary,
might have been written of the mod
ern war in Europe, so true to life are
they.
Writing in the current issue of
"Everybody's Magazine" Mr.. Palmer,
returning from a tour of the line of
battle seventy miles from Paris, after
the Germans had been driven back
from the gates of that city, says that
his descriptions in "The Last Shot
are so realistic that they might have
been written by a correspondent at
the front in Belgium or France.
Mr.. Palmer is the one American
correspondent permitted by the Eng
lish and French at the front. He is
endorsed by the State Department al
Washington, by the four large Ameri-
can press associations, and has been
in more wars than any general in
the world. In addition he is a clever
writer of fiction. The Telegraph is
happy to have presented to its read
ers in the form of delightful fiction
so true description of modern war
fare as Mr.. Palmer pronounces "The
Last Shot" to have been.

the whole British navy of that day. A
battleship like the Pennsylvania could
annihilate all the navies of the world
in the days of the Revolution. The
Pennsylvania cost over $14.000,0 900. or
enough to build all the wooden war;
ships of the world in 1776. An hours
broadside from this superdreadnought
would cost more than 1t did to buila
the first American battleship.
The comparisons hold good abroad
and constitute the difference between
the Napoleonic wars and that of the
present day.

= i for the governorship, and there
is every reason to-day to believe
that they will support him in over
whelming numbers, they must admire
him for his manly campaign.
Never once, although bitterly, un-
fairly and dishonorably assailed, has
he lost his temper. Never once has he
lowered himself to the level of the
little men who have been opposed
to him. Never once has he shook his
fist under anybody's nose and in
dulged In abuse and hard names. AL
ways he has been the constructionist.
Always his thought has been for the
up-building of Pennsylvania. Always
he has been Jealous of the good name
of the State he loves.
There is much truth in his assertion
that "a man who has not conducted
himself as a gentleman out of office
can scarcely be expected to act the
part of a gentleman in office"
There you have 1t in a nutshell. The
mudslinger of the campaign will be
the mudslinger in office. The man
who has cried down. down with
everything" like the anarchist in the
comic opera, is certain to be as de-
structive in his policies in office as he
was during his campaign.
Men of all parties admire a we'll
poised, self-contained gentleman, and
that is what Martin G. Brumbaugh has
shown himself to be throughout a
campaign that. himself aside, has been
characterized by more nastiness than
any other we remember in the history

WOMEN AS ORGANIZERS

n N peISOu WHO lulIlhS women 90
IN not have executive ability should
\ look at the results of the mem
bership campaign carried on
last week by the Young Women's
Christian Association of this city.
The association carefully organized
the campaign and set as its goal 1000
new members. Saturday when the
final reports were totaled it was found
that the association had made actually
LOO acquisitions in six days!
Probably never in the history of
campaign work in this country has an
organization of women obtained such
remarkable results. And it is extremely
doubtful whether any man-made and
man-directed organization has ever
done better. To set a goal and nearly
double it is feat worthy of congratu-
lation.
And the other side of the work is
that the women have brought seven
teen hundred Harrisburg girls and
women into close association with the
Christian life and work of a fine in
stitution.

REPAIRING OUR STREETS

- ARRISBURG has taken the lead
IL in the matter of modern street
paving and If there is one thing
more than another which COM
mends the city to the visitor it is the
large area of fine streets. which. are
kept clean and wholesome.
At Reading the municipal officials
are considering a plan to have the
streets of that city constantly patrolled
by workmen who will make repairs
Immediately. This is in line with the
policy of "a stitch in time saves nine"
Just now there is great interest in
not only roadmaking, but in the proper
kind of streets for our cities. The
Reading News-Times, discussing the
proposed plan in Reading, says:
The usual plan of making repairs
at long intervals, and only when
the street or road has become well
nigh impossible is very wasteful
one. a small defect taken in hand
at once is easily remedied, whereas,
If rrds it is meg neglected it Sofu. constantly
comes so great as to be almost i'm
possible of remedy. A small de-
preston. at first almost invisible,
py the HdultneflnS Oh WneelS ana
hoofs. soon becomes enlarged until
IL is danger and a menace to all
who use the highway.
This is the plan which is carried
out in all our railroads. The sec
tion, gangs constantly patrol the
tracks on the lookout for every
slight defect and by giving it at
tention while 1t is only slight the
roadbed is kept in condition. 1t is
the plan pursued in all countries
that pretend to have good roads.
On the highways of Europe every
foot of road is patrolled and every
defect is looked after as soon as it
appears. The cost of maintenance
is thus greatly lessened and the
roads are always in the best condi-
ton.
Harrisburg has provided by loan
approved a year ago for a municipal
repair plant, which will be installed
next Spring. City Commissioner Lynch
has had large experience in street and
public improvement work and will
doubtless be glad when the present
general repair contract expires. With
municipal plant it ought to be an
easy matter to keep all our streets in
first-class repair all the time and at
less expense than under the contract
system which is now nearing its finish
Let us hope that never again Penn
sylvania shall be precipitated into
such a campaign as is now near its
close. When personal ambition, coupled
with untold wealth. involving personal
abuse and duplicity. are conspicuous
factors, the result upon the public mind
is bound to be injurious. 1t may be.
come a serious question as to whether
the right sort of men, those of ability
and character. will care to submit their
names for consideration in connection
with public office.
