Address all communications to TH E INTELLIGEN CE It, DANVILLK, I'A. A COR RECTION. Attention has been oaiio«i to a statement in Colonel A. K. McGlure's reminiscences in last Sunday's Press in which he thus speaks of the Senatorial contest of 1899 in the Pennsylvania Legislature and of the failure of a fusion between the Democrats and Independent Re publicans : Quay had sufficient control of the Democratic leaders t > prevent the Demo crats from uniting with the Wanamaker forces. Again: Hut for Quay's control of the Democra tic leaders Wanatnaker would have h en elected, as the Democrats could have fur nished him the full number of votes re quired with the aid of his independent followers; but although Wunamalcer's battle had given many of the Democratic members their election, Quay was able to hold their leaders and thus prevent the success of his opponents. This imputation upon the political integrity as well as political good sense of the "Democratic leaders" of Pennsylvania is made with so'much assurance that it ought to be support ed By some proofs. But there is uot a leadiug Democrat who took part in that contest whom the writer can name as having been under the "con trol" of Quay. This "control" of the leading Democrats is a myth which was industriously propagated with the connivance of the late Sena tor in order to increase his prestige among his followers. It gave him a fictitious credit for a mysterious pow er which he was far from possessing. Like other myths of the sort, it should he extirpated before it comes to be accepted for history. There was not a leading Democrat from the Ohio to ilia Delaware with political influence enough to revolutionize an oyster collar who can be named as having been under the evil control of Senator Quay in the contest of 1899. The truth is that the leading Demo crats were anxious to effect a fusion with the Independent Republicans, and would have accepted John Wana maker first, and after him Judge Stewart, Judge 11 ice, Representative Dalzell or any other prominent and able Republican having no connection with the Quay Machine. But, on carefully canvassing the Democratic membership of the Legislature they found just enough crooked sticks to prevent a fusion. Some of these fol lowers, not leaders, who had been plowing with the Machine's heifer, re fused to vote for a Republican, and some of them declared that in case of a break they preferred Quay to any Republican who could be named for Senator. This was what defeated fusion, while an attempt to accomp lish it then threatened the election of Quay. This explanation would hardly be worth the while hut that the subject has more or less relation to current political events in Pennsylvania. The Democrats who desired to cllect a fusion with the Independent Republi cans in the Legislature of 1N99 are the same tiiat formed the alliance with them last November. They arc the same who are ready now to renew this alliance incise the Machine should nominate a decoy ticket for Governor and other, Stale officers in the next Republican convention. It would, therefore, greatly serve the ends oi the broken Machine if its Republican enemies could lie persuaded of the perfidy of ill ■ Democrats in spit 3 of the pledges they have given of their fidelity to the public cause. Colonel McClure may be cheerfully acquitted of any such insidious design; bufe<his is the unmistakable tendency of his sweeping though utterly groundless imputation upon the political honor and integrity of the Democratic lead ers. As his interesting reminiscences are intended for the instruction of future generations, he will thank us for this correction.—Phil'a. Record. This is all very well illuminated in the picture presented by the Record now, but in that year as well as sev eral years later (in like contests,) our Democratic state leaders suffered false reproach at the hands of a majority of the journalists and others politically inclined. Kxperience don't seem to benefit all, and in these days we will find an occasioned Judas; they were with the party in 1899, several years later, today, and the future will still find them in our ranks, but we must not pick them out for examples. Col. McClure had reference, no doubt, to district leaders who were serving the people in State politics, but beside this while the INTELLKIKXCEU and a fragmental portion of our party news papers were upholding our State lead ers, the majority were bulking their good works with uncomplimentary and degrading stories of false doc trines and sellish motives. Let us hope to see a purer, more free, lets selfish support to good leadership in the future.

The Animals At Christmas SAID S&nla Claus, " 'Tis Christ mas eve (The animals looked pleasant). And each of you will now receive Kis yearly Christmas present. But I'd be glad if every guest Would mention what he'd like the best." The Tapir said: "That pleases me. I'll state succinctly, therefore. If I may be so bold and free - The only thing I care for Would be those matches on the shelf. With which I'd like to light myself." His wish was granted- Then up spake A timid little Adder: "Sir, but a trifle it will take To make my Christmas gladder; A slate and pencil, if you please. Would lei me do my sums with ease.'* The R.eindcer said : "You may believe I'd be a happy fellow If I were sure I would receive A good sized umberrellow; And also I'd like four golosh- Es and a rubber mackintosh." The Pig a fountain pen desired; The Cow tin horns requested; The Ilorsc, for a new hat acquired. If is gratitude attested. The Caterpillar said: "1 am Proud of my caterpillarsham."

An English clergyman declares that the best Christmas sermon be ever heard was preached by a wouau-and in three words! "In my little parish, under the sweep of tlie Sussex downs," be says,"l was walking swiftly home one night buffet ed about by the gray clouds of driving rain that the lierce sou'wester swept landward from thy sea when a poor, helpless, aged woman asked me for n trifle for a night's lodging. "Curates are supposed always to be poor. It was Christmas time, and 1 had just parted with my last sixpence at a lonely hamlet where work was scarce. Still 1 could not leave mj stranger in the street, so I asked hot to come with me to my lodgings. "She shambled along through the mud with her streaming clothes and clouted boots, and we entered my little room. My thoughtful landlady hat' made my table ready. A plate of ho< toast was standing in tlie fender; the kettle sang vociferously, as if Impa tient to be used; in front of the lire stood my slippers and an easy chair. "To my surprise, my poor, worn, hag gard companion raised her dripping hands and burst into tears with the words, 'Oh, what luxury!' "That was the best Christmas ser mon I ever heard, and fhe only one 1 have never forgotten."—Youth's Com pa n ion. ClirlutmnN Day In RuKsln. In certain parts of Russia the chil dren at Christmas eve begin playing pranks that are as odd as they are amusing. Chief among their drolleries is that of disguising themselves as ani mals and in the assumed costume of wild beasts disporting themselves through the neighborhood. As many skins as possible tire secured, and In these the leading boys are clad. Wolves, bears, ostriches even, are represented. All of tlie boys gather in one party, those who are not posing as brutes forming a train for the escort and dis play of the pseudo menagerie. Some act as keepers, holding their disguised companions in check, while others star tle the quiet of the night by rude strains drawn from harsh and primi tive musical Instruments. Torches are borne, and In the lit fill light, opposed by black shadows, the scene is at once grotesque and vivid. A Thoughtful llUNhnml. What is more touching at the holiday season than to see an old man planning a pleasant surprise fjt* his aged wife? "I's tryln' ter raise money enough tor git my wife a new dres* for Christ mas, sail," said Uncle Ebony to Mr. Feallicrstonc. "Ah. I see. You want me to give you some chores to do. tniele. eh?" "Well, no, sail. I t'ought perhaps you couid git de old lady a job at wasliin', sab!" ChrlstmnN Presents. Tlie giving of presents ou Christmas day undoubtedly owes its origin to a general idea to carry Into practice the biblical mandate, "Peace on earth; good will to men." At first the great lords made presents to their retainers, and the season was "marked by uni versal charity. By degrees the practice of Christmas giving spread until now everybody gives his or her friends pres ents. Laurel For Christmas Decoration. The laurel being an evergreen makes a striking feature in a winter land scape. Enormous quantities are used In the Christmas dressing of churches for wreaths and other decorations.

By SALLY CHAMBERLIN [Copyright, IW)4, by Sally Chamberlln.] BANG! Bang! Bang! John Hare jumped from his warm bed into his dressing gown and slippers, switched on the electric light and was on the lower floor s\Wngliig % wlde the heavy, massive door before his eyes were fairly open. Through the blackness of the outer night peered the hard and forbidding faces ol two roughly clad men. The taller man stated In gruff tones that his baby was dying and his wife want ed the child baptized. In less than five ininlites the young rector was dressed and back to tlie men, whom he had lel't sitting in the hall, and the three started out. The trip to the outskirts of the city through dark and strange streets was anything but pleasant. Finally reach ing a little low cottage, set quite apart IN HElt PL. ACE SAT A (ifIILISII FIGURE. from any other dwelling ami lighted j l»y one small lamp which sent its rays i through the narrow window, lie fol lowed the men through the door into a barely furnished room. On a eot in the corner lay a child, small and wasted, marked with death's stamp, and beside her sat the weeping moth- Some strange mystery haunted i lie room. What were these poverty stticken people trying to conceal? The clergyman shook oil' the feeling and opened his prayer book at the bap tismal service. Having performed his mission, ac companied by the two men, he was passing a clump of trees on his way home when one of them stopped sud denly and, pulling a long bladed knife from his pocket, Hashed it before the young rector's face and instantly point ed It toward his heart, lie uttered a piercing shriek. "Ugh!" said John Hare as the sound of hid own voice wakened him and lie sat up in bed. "What an ugly night mare!" Then, with a look at his watch, "It is high time I was up anyway, with fifty parochial visits before me. I must make sure that not a single family has a cheerless Christmas to morrow." His eye caught the picture of a girl's face, gentle eyed, yet cheery, hanging in a frame on his wall. "And if there's any persuasion In John Hare's poor eloquence he won't have a cheerless nor a lonely Christmas the next 23th of December." This young rector had come to Spottsfleld, a rising manufacturing ci*\ three years before, after serving as curate In a large city parish. lie had transformed his new congregation from a disgruntled, quarreling com munity composed of a few rich and many poor to a great family interested in each other and respecting his Christ like principles. And incidentally his strict resolution for a busy bachelor hood bad been somewhat disturbed by a pair of interested, laughing eyes which belonged to the daughter of a factory owner. This energetic, but rather shy. young woman was famed and loved among, the poor and sick of Spottsfleld foi« her gentle and unpretentious way of help ing when and where she was needed. Though of different faiths, she and John Hare met often while on excur sions of mercy. He had seen her, too, at her father's home, where lfe was popular as a dinner guest because of his appreciation of a good cigar and his broad, forceful views on Christian ity. As he dressed that morning before the festive holiday he realized that the human heart cannot be denied its sus tenance—one beating iu touch and sympathy with it —and that one fair girl had woven her charms about him so completely that he could 110 longer refrain from telling lier of it, even though of late she had rather seemed to avoid him when he crossed her path and was even chary of her conversa tion when lie dined at her house. During the long busy day she was constantly brought to his mind lit the homes he visited. A forlorn old wom an told of the coming of. Miss Ituth with yarn for the next year's knitting and a box of swoots. A gratoful moth er tokl of the nights Miss Ituth had stayed and nursed tho baby back to life. In the poorer homes he hoard of the baskets of Christmas goodies she had brought, with toys and warm mit tens for the children. It was 10 o'clock before the rector had finished the day's task, and when jio reached home he threw himself, quite worn out, on tho couch Jq the li brary. Not ten minutes seemed to have elapsed when the sound "Br-r-r-r!" through his sleep wakened him sud denlyto the realization that some one was ringing the bell with the evident intention of rousing the entire house hold, and as he stepped into the hall to open the door he was amazed to see ' the hands on the old fashioned clock pointing to 1. "Sir, we've come to get Mr. Hare. The baby's dying, and my wife a minister," announced one of the two men who stood on the step facing the tired rector. The memory of his vivid nightmare had not recurred to him since the morn ing, but at the words "baby's dying" it it all Hashed before Ills mind, and he hesitated an instant with same misgiv ings. Quickly pulling himself together and throwing off the vision, lie ex claimed: "I'm Mr. Hare. Where is your ba by?* In a harsh voice the larger of the two men mentioned the outskirts of the city, where the houses were small and low and widely scattered. Again pushing aside the warning of his apparition, the rector incased him self in warm overcoat and arctics and, locking the door behind him, bade the men lead the way. For several blocks an occasional house showed lights from top to bottom or a stray light in the seccnd story gave evidence that an ea ger youngster was awake examining Santa Clans' gifts. Then the houses became dark, and the three men trudg ed 011 through the gently falling snow. Hare's questions received but curt, abrupt answers, while the memory of his grewsome dream grew clearer with each step of the long dark walk till he reached the identical cottage of his nightmare, with one light shining through the window. A suggestion of cold perspiration stood on Ills forehead and a shiver ran down his spine as he thought of the sinister group and the suspicious and foreboding glances of the men in tbat dim scene which he had passed through before so realis tically. Entering the house behind the larger man, he looked instantly toward the corner for the cot and the child. They were there! The thin face of the child showed the same pallor of death, but the mother was not in the chair beside the bed. In her place sat a girlish fig ure, holding a vial in her delicate fin gers. "Thank you so much for coming," said a soft voice, and the Ruth of bis day dreams lifted lier eyes to Ills with a wistful, shy glance of comfort and relief. "The mother never would have been consoled for her neglect in not having had her child baptized, and I felt so sure you would come, even though it was at this late hour." So the dying baby received the bless ing of the church, uml as the sun rose between two distant hills the child passed Into its Saviour's arms. Two hearts were peaceful from a sense of finished duty. Unconsciously radiant with Joy at being together, the man and the girl passed from tlie low roofed cottage into the clear frosty air of the blue canopied earth with its fresh car peting of pure white snow. A Christ mas happiness such as they had never known before illuminated the world for these two alone in the snow clad woods. It.was some time before the young rector felt inclined to speak, and then it was to recount his nightmare with its realistic reproduction up to the point where he had found her beside the dying child. "And the knife aimed at your heart —that must have been a dreadful dream!" John Hare paused, holding her with his strong magnetic gaze. "The knife is in your lrftnd. If you cannot love me, your 'No' will be the deathblow to my hopes and ambi tions." She smiled up into his eyes and held out both hands. "See—there is no knife." Ei«ht Million. For Ton.
