Aunt Este's Stories For Children My dear little ones: I wonder whether you can And a pair of twins In your kitchen? Close your eyes and try to think whether there are not two little ones who Rre dressed just alike and look alike as two peas—except that they have different names Then open your eyes and read the story of THE SI'IGOT TWINS Once upon a time in Kltchentown lived old Mrs. Sink. She really was a sort of a cubist woman, for her body was quite oblong, and all her lines were square. Mrs. Teakettle ttirned up her nose at her, but Mrs. Sink didn't care—oh! no, not she! For she knew the housekeeper simply couldn't get along without her, nor her two dear llttla twin children—llotsie and Coldetta Spigot, who were the cutest little girls In Kitchentown. Kveryone agreed to that. Tliey looked exactly alike, as they both wore dresses almost of silver sheen—and the queerest little straight hats on top of their head—which they kept on with a screw Instead of a hatpin. Mother Sink never allowed them to take the screw out of their hats, either, because she know the hats would tumble right off—and as they had no heads to speak of, It was necessary for them to wear hats to make them look half way respectable. As I say, Hatsie and Coldetta looked exactly alike. When one took a bath tho other took one—and when one was dirty the other was dirty—so you see it would, have been Impossible for anyone who lived in Kltchentown to tell them apart—and that Is tiie reason they always wore their names embroidered in black letters on the top of their hats. But since It took so long to embroider their whole names, they had only dono a part so llotsie was "Hot" and CGldetta was "Cold." Poor old Mother Sink had. tried to bring them up in the same way—but although they looked alike you never in all your life saw such a difference in children—they were a regular tem pest and sunshine, llotsie was always spitting oil! some sort of •steam about something. She would Just get so hot, no one could cool her down a single bit. So they Just hod to let her run on until she cooled do%vn of her own accord. But Coldetta was the coolest, most refreshing soul you ever met. Kveryone who pass, ed through Kltchentown knew her—they all stopped to drink a cup with her. But sho was horribly conceited, and so one day she got to bragging about her popularity. You see her head was <tulte turned, because no sooner did company get Into the house— HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH TROPHIES OF HUNT COME FROM CANADA Mounted Moose and Deer Heads Received at Montandon From H.

City Abandons Site Between Cam eron Street and Paxton Creek | While consideration of the plot at Kittatinny street between Cameron and Paxton creek lias been dclinitely abandoned as a probable site l'or the I proposed city asphalt repair plant, 'Commissioner W. H. Lynch, superin tendent of streets and public improve ments to-day said that a suitable place will be selected before April 1. The Kittatinny street plot was Riven up at the request of a number of manufacturers and residents whose places of business were in the that I neighborhood and who feared the ill effects that would result from smoke and odors. City Plant by April I Commissioner Lynch said that among the four or five other sites that are being considered is a half acre or more in the lower end of town near Shanois street and just east of the creek. This, he said, will likely provo too small for the purpose. On April 1 the city's contract for repair work with Contractor Charles P. Walter expires and by that date it is hoped to have the municipal plant in working order. | In the meantime Commissioner I Lynch, City Engineer Cowden and thcl staff of the engineers' office are get ting ready to go ahead with the 1915 ] paving schedule. Actual work, ofi course, cannot begin for at least two months but everything will be in readi- | ness to proceed as soon as the weather j opens. All told, seventeen sections of streets, totaling about 30,000 yards, are to be asphalted this year. To Pave Market Street First Market street from Nineteenth to Twenty-lirst will be given first atten tion and this will be followed by Derr.v street from Twenty-third to the east ern city limits. The Harrlsburg Rail ways Company has already been noti fied that these sections will be paved first. Other sections include: Emerald, Front, to Fifth; Apricot, Fourteenth to 106 feet east of Hoer ner; Wengert, 103 feet east of Fif teenth to Sixteenth; Whistler, Apricot to Wengert; Nineteenth, Market to Rc gina; AVharton, Fifth to Sixth; Prim-1 rose.

The viewers were Paul G. Smith, J. D. Bailsman and H. C. Wright. The viewers after hearing testimony jmade up the schedule on the basis that [the property would be used for build | ing plots. The Hildrup homestead, owned by Mr. Nelson for about six | teen years, fronts on the land and If the ground were used for building I purposes it would be necessary to grade the section along Mulberry street and fill in on Nineteenth.

"Oh, Hotsle," said she. "You're no good. No one ever wants YOU when they come to the kitchen. They always say 'which Is the cold,' then I am the one they stop with and I am the one with whom they drink. You are no account." Poor llotsie got sick of hearing her brag. Sho just got hotter and hotter every minute, and one day she cried hot, hot tears. The folk of Kltchentown saw them dropping down In Mother Sink's lap. "Oh. dear. It's deadful to be of no account!" sobbed she. "Who say's you're no account, my dear," comforted Mother Sink. "Coldetta Is a selfish child to make you feel so badly. She may have friends among the earth folk, but I would be willing to take a yote that you had more among the folk of Kitchentown." So old Mother Sing got together nil the folk of town one liny. Mr. Black Pot. Mr. Teakettle, Mrs. Skillet, all the Spoon, Knife and Kork enndren; the Crock faintly and the Plepans; she even invited some of tin- folk of the neighboring town to take part in the voting—the Dish family of IJlningroom Village. It was when they l were all gathered In a bunch In Mother Sink's home, that the fun began. "I have Invited you here to take a vote on the most popular one of the Spigot twins," said old Mother Sink. "Which one do you like the better?" Well, if ever you would have heard the chorus of voices yell ing "Hotsle! Hotsle!"* it would have made you smile the way It made Hotsle smile. "Why we never could get along without Hotsle" they one and ail agreed. "When those earth folk make us dirty Coldetta never can help us out! Who takes all our grease off? Hotsle. Who makes lis feel clean? Hotsle. Who makes It possible for the earth folk to use us again? Hotsle." And so the vote was a unanimous one in favor of Hotsle. My but she felt good over it. Poor Coldetta was quite chagrlnned. Mother Sink said she pitied her, but It served her right for try ing to make poor Hotsle feel so miserable by bragging about what the earth folk thought of her. "Remember my children," said Mother Sink. "Kverybody has friends some place. If it is not among tho higher class it Is among the lower —and a friend is a friend any place. Lovingly. AUNT E3TS JANUARY 23, 1915. House Where Virginia Militia Was Billeted in Revolutionary War By Special Correspondence Columbia. Pa., Jan. 23.—Emanuel Stoner is of the fourth generation of! his family to occupy the original j homestead, near Wrightsville, which has become famous in the annals of American history. The home which he occupies and the land still in pos session of the family were the prop erty of Christian Stoner, his great- j great-grandfather, which the latter acquired from the Penns in 1761. The property has never gone out of the family name and the buildings are now occupied by children of the sixth generation. The history of this home dates back to the Revolutionary period, and it was in this building that some mem bers of the Continental Congress, in their flight from Lancaster to York, were sheltered and accommodated one night. in February, 1778, a company of Virginia militia, under Captain Pick ett, ancestor of General George E. Pickett, of Gettysburg fame, on their march to Valley Forge to join Wash ington's army, found lodging on the premises and outbuildings and re ceived a supply of provisions. In re turn, the owner received an order from Captain Pickett, in payment thereof, which is still preserved in the archives of the York County His j torical Society, where it has been I placed for safe keeping.

No Truth in Stories That Diamond Prices Are to Be Cut, Says Peter G. Diener "Stories given to the public to the effect that diamonds intended for Eu rope and which find no sale there on account of the war are to be dumped on the American market at bargain prices are entirely without founda tion." said P. G. Diener, Jeweler, this morning. "The newspapers have mistaken a demoralization in diamond mine shares for a demoralization of the diamond mine business," he continued, "not realizing the fact that a stopping of mining and sale of uncut gems, which makes the mine shares go down in price, has a tendency to make the market for cut diamonds advance, be cause it cuts off the available supply."
