Huge Beast Spreads Terror
In PENNSYLVANIA Mountains

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 90
The reign of terror in the noun
tain section in the vicinity of
Lewistown, Pa, since the advent
of some gigantic beast, believed
to be an escaped gorilla, several
days ago, has reached such a
climax that virtually all activity
with the exception of railroading
has been halted.
A week ago the beast first
made its appearance and attack
ed Sammy Bolig, a small boy.
near his home at the town of
Meiser. The boy was beaten in
to insensibility by two terrific
blows from the great ape and
Friday a man and his wife, re-
turning home at night in their
automobile, had a narrow escape
when the beast leaped from the
brush at the roadside at their
automobile. They escaped when
the man stepped on the accele-
rator.
Last night, at the Macedonia
Hollows, on the State road side
of the Lewistown Narrows. the
animal appeared again in the
early dusk and sat up an uu-
earthly howl. M. C. Hack, a
signalman, obtained
megaphone and uttered a long
cry through it. Instantly the
animal recedrd into the brush.

judge Harrison Replies to Capt,
Paul's Notice of Contest.

Il have been served by Mr..
John Paul with a notice of con-
test for seat in the next Congress,
in spite of the registered will of
the people of this District. Mr..
Paul makes this contest, not
wlthsta nding the largest sum of
money was spent BY the Repub-
lican Party that was ever ex-
pended in this District during its
history by any political organi-
cation and the largest vote was
polled that was ever cast in the
District, not counting the wo-
mems vote.
Under oath, he charges some
|of the most highly esteemed citi-
zens of the District with fraud,
and depends upon trivial irregu-
larities occurring in precincts car
ried by me, to disfranchise the
people of this District after care
fully SURPRISING similar :rregu-
larities in precincts carried by
him.
1T is not my purpose at this
time to go into details. but one
apt illustration is afforded by
reference to Charlottesville. He
has tabulated the names of five
hundred and twenty-five of the
noblest and best women OF that
city as fraudulent voters, but has
unarraigned hundred or more
negro women voters of that city
All familiar with the condi-
tons in the District, know that
all entitled to vote for him, who
desired to do so, voted for him
without let or hindrance that
the ballots were counted as cast
and that the returns honestly re-
ported the true results.
If the contest is based on the
hope that the next House will
act in a partisan manner, in this
L am confident he will be disap-
pointed.
l am truly grateful to my
friends who supported me in the
recent election, and | assure the
good people of the District, with
out regard to party that to the
utmost Of my ability, and reg ard
less of personal sacrifice, | will
defend the rights of the District
to elect its own representative
land defend the good name of the
high toned men and women
|against the assaults of one, who,
by such means, is seeking to OBJ
tain seat in Congress to which
The is not entitled"

If n strict compliance with the

all, the precincts in Shenandoah

is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

asked of the Baltimore Sun re-
Gently by a little girl called
Virginia O'Hanlon, who demands
the truth. The Sun answered
by reprinting the reply of the
New York Sun Of years ago a
reply that has almost become
classic. For the benefit of local
doubters we also reprint it.
Virginia, your little friends
are wrong. They have been
affected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not be-
lieye except they see. They think
that nothing can be which is not
comprehensive by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia,
whether they be mems or chill
dren's, are little. In the great
universe of ours man is mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect, as
compared with the boundless
world about him, as measured by
the intelligence capable of grasp
ing the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and yon know that they
aboundi land give to your life its
highest beauty and joy. Alas
how dreary would be the world
if there were no Santa Claus
1t would be as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, ex-
| ccpt in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tingulshed.
Not believe in Santa Claus
You might as we'll not believe in
fairies You might get your
papa to hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas Eve
to catch Santa Claus, but even
if they did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would thu:
prove ? Nobody sees Santa Claus.
but that is no sign that there -
no Santa Claus. The most rel
thing in the world are those that
neither children nor men can
see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn ? Of course,
not, but that's no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can con-
ceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable
in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise
inside. but there is veil cover
ing the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the
united strength of all the strong
est men that ever lived, could
tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push
aside the curtain and view and
picture the supernal beauty and
glory beyond. Is it all real ? All,
Virginia, in all this world there
is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus /! Thank God
he lives, and he lives forever.
A thousand years from now,
Virginia. nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he
will continue to make glad the
hearts of Children"
