THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE.
the corner where ths rosds meet
While winding through the town,
fhsn stands a little acboolhoUM
Moss covered, old and brown. -Around
the well-worn door stone
Tbe grass la growing- rreen,
jiui buttercup and daisies
Against the building lean.
The pasture cornea to meet It, ' '
Anu u er taw ruggva wan
8tll grows the wild blue Iris
And elder bushes talL
In spring the orioles nested
In elm trees growing bjr
And caroled to the children
From hammock nest swung high.
At recess time the children,
With many a laugh and shout.
Made glad the quiet woodland
That skirted all about.
Arain the place was alien
When "teacher." from the door.
Called the children to her
When resting time waa o'er.
. m quaint, old-faahloned order
They stood with toes on line.
And slowly droned the "tables,"
Three times three are nine."
Ttirn came the mental pussies.
The dreaded dally drill
, in Colburn s little " "rlthmotlc"
Those problems haunt us still I
. The years have passed; those children
Are men and women gray,
And the little corner schoolhouse
To modern times gives way.
Cut standing by the roadside
As In daya long ago.
It seems like a fond mother
From whom the children go.
But still with patience waiting,
Tho' years have passed away,
for return of sons and daughters
She stands and looks to-day.
Her children are far-scattered.
She waits for them In vain.
But they live their youth In memory,
Tho' they come not back again.

" 7 "CLA1" to poodness I'so mos' afraid
J to leub dut Tony to luiu' tie
bakery, fo' he's do kecrkssest chile!
Sat May uight, too, an' all di beans to
bake, an' my olo until can't never pit
home till twclb o'clock. But de jedge
doue send un' say can't had no dinner
party widout Aunt Lucy to serve up de
dinner. So I inus' go. Tony, now 'mem
ber which cud you's on, an' don't let
nuflln happen to de money drawer, nor
de beans, nor Patra, by yo' kecrlcss
atuV Todj- stood on his woolly head with
delight when the door closed on his
mother. lie felt very proud of being
left to "min' de bakery." But he was
xery soon obliged to reverse his posi
tion and attend to business, for people
were beginning to come with their bean
pots. Everybody in tho neighborhood
tent their Sunday beans to be baked in
Aunt Lucy Crumples' great brick oven.
Aunt Lucy was a famous cook. She
had been the cook at Judge Carlisle's, in
the next town, until she married Peter
Crumples, the barber. Peter did a
flourishing business, but Aunt Lucy
could not be happy unless she was cook
ing. So she set up a bakery, which was
patronized by both rich and poor, for
her goods wereof a delectable flavor, and
he was so neat that one might eat oil
her floors.
Tony was of gTeat use in the estab
lishment, lie was strong and willing,
and his mother had already discovered
la him a genius for cooking, but his
careU'Ksness was a great drawback.
Tony lamented it, but didn't seera
ible to help it.
"I'll ucber git cured ob belli' keerless,
till my wool done come straight, fo'
wrel" he always said.
Penile began to come in with their
beim pets, as I said. The great oven
was heating tilowly. It took a long time
for it to get hot. Tony put the first in
stallment of beun pots into it.
"Here, J'alra, you done climb in dur
an' poke de pots way buck. I reckon
dcrc's gvvine to bo heaps ob pots to
night," ho said.
Tatrn, a smull morsel of humnnity,
with her wool tied up Into little knobs
with red ribbons, obeyed. She thought
it was great fun to climb into the big
OTon, which was not yet hot enough to
bura her. She nranged the pots care
fully, and was in no hurry to come out.
Tony wns preparing their own pots
of beans, for they sold beans Sunday
mornings. Tinkle! tinkle! went the
bell of the shop door, and he hurried
out.
As he went by the oven he shut the
door. That oven would never get hot
with the door open. lie had quite for
gotten Patrol
l'atra screamed with nil her email
"'ffht. It was dark, suffocating, hor
rible in the ovcu! Moreover, it was
growing very warm.
She kicked frantionlly nt the door,
D"t it was impossible to open it from
the inside.
Meanwhile Tony, who had gone into
he shop imd Bhut the door behind him,
m putting on very grand airs of pro
prietorship to Hilly McGroth, who had
ome to buy a cent's worth of yeast ami
wo cents' worth of stale gingerbread.
"hui's thnt noise?" asked Billy,
wduonly. "it sound kind of queer
far off, as if it was in the walls."
Xuffin but rats," replied Tony.
"cans jest in time, Bar," lie continued,
J? customer who had just come in.
"at oven is gittin' roarin hot.. More

onswer. Silence in the great Uk-
in g-room, except for the roaring of the
fire.
- An awful recollection flashed upon
Tony.
"De good lan'! Dot chile nebsr done
come out ob de oben! An J shetde.do'.
An dem noises dat I reckon was rats
was Patra a-kickin' an' screamin. An'
hear dat fire roarin'! Ncber was sich a
fire as I built under dat oben dis night!
l'atra done burnt up!"
Tony's black face actually turned
fate, and all his strength left him. But
at length he forced himself to open
the oven door.
There was a smell of tiurning leather.
Tony drew forth,one little shoe. Was
It all that was left of Patra? No; there
was a knot of red ribbon, with a bit of
wool caught in it, the wool scorched
and crumbling to nshes in his fingers
ks he drew it out.
These relics brought a rush of teors
from Tony's eyes; but tears could not
lighten his weight of woe.
' 'Penrs like I'se rlronmin'amos'orfle
flream," he murmured.
Ting-n-llng! went the shop door, and
Tony started up.
l ou's gwine to be hung, Tony Crum
ples, as su' as yo' born!" he said to him
self. lie hid the little shoe and the ribbon,
nnd hurried as fast ns his trembling
limbs would let him into the shop.
There wns n customer with a bean
pot. and behind him came good "I'ossou
Amos." a colored preacher, who lived
next door.
"I jist drnp in to see how yo" is gittin'
'long, boy," i-'aid Poksou Amos, kindly.
"Yo' r.mst take good cure oh yo' charge,
an' putyo' trus' in do Lord!"
That sounded very solemn. Posson
Ainr.snrolm lily observed his guilty looks
and his trembling, thought Tony. And
be kept sniMing ns if lie sinelled some
thing burning.
"But he wouldn't 'sped do Lord to
lime. iinlVin to do wit r.ie if ho knew
'bout I'utni," reasoned Tony to him
self. Then he bethought himself that ho
must put the bonus into tlio oven, and
wait tiro:i tho customers as if nothing
hnd happened. It was terrible to go
near thnt oven, but "it won't bring
Patra back, nor be no consolation to
pappy and mummy if I'se hung,"
thought Tony.
At ten o'clock he shut up tho shop, as
he hnd been directed to do, and went
to bed; but there was no sleep for him.
What should he say when bis mother
asked him, as soon as she came home
In the morning: "Whar Ptitra?"
"I clar' to jroodness I'll hab to run
away!" decided Tony, after he had
tossed upon his sleepless bed until after
midnight.
lie opened the skylight his room was
in the top story and looked out. The
roof was fiat, and he could easily climb
down to the little ell, and so to the
ground. As he was taking a survey, tho
skylight of the next house In the block
Posson Amos' waslifted.anda small,
white-robed figure appeared from it,
and came toward him. It had a little,
black face, shadexl by a white nightcap.
Tony screamed with terror, and tried
to close the skylight over his head, but
it had become fastened in some way and
wouldn't shut.
"Tony! Tony!" called a plaintive
voice.
And the white-robed figure proceeded
to wriggle itself in through the sky
light. "Patra, Is it yo' ghos'?" demanded
Tony, with chattering teeth.
"Don know nuflln 'bout glioses!" re
sponded the small figure, with decision.
"I'se cole an' scared in Mis' Amos' big

Tony.

Tony htigged nnd kissed l'atra an

her not a little and carried her down in
his arms to her little bed beside "Mum

Tony made a call at I'osson Amos
rery early the next morning.
"I reek'n yo' is pwino-to tell pappy
an mammy 'bout Patra?" he said, very
gloomily.
"Tony Crumples, is yo' cured ob keer

"I is, bu' as yo' born!" answered Tony,
solemnly.

Wanted to 8ne Bryan.
A telegram from an Indiana county
eat tells tbe sad story of a farmer who
placed too much reliance in the prom
ises and predictions of the "Boy Ora
tor." lie 'acted upon them and lost
money, and now wants to know If any
thing can be done about It. The tele
gram gives these details:
Farmer James Shuman. living near'
Lapel, ln1., was In Anderson today
looking up les;al points to see If he had
grounds for action against William J.
Bryan. Last fall he was a silver man.
He heard Bryan at Indianapolis and
Anderson, and especially marked the
warning to farmers that If silver went
down, as he said It would If the Re
publicans were elected, wheat would
also go down. The day after election he
thought he had struck a good thing
when gold men contracted for this
year's whent crop at 58 cents a bushel.
He was called upon to deliver 500 bush
els the day Madison county dealers paid
$1. He Is a loser of several hundred dol
lars, and thought he could recover
off Bryan. He was greatly disappointed
when he learned he could not.
It Is a safe prediction that the silver
cause has Inst one supporter In Indiana.

This is not the time for dissensions in

that Is a matter of Immense moment to

will be proper to thresh the w hole mat
ter out In the press and possibly on the

not permit themselves to bo soparutcd

may be permitted in rase while a pri

While the Swallow people nre making
a great effort to show a gain lids year
for tho rroliibitiou party in the state
thera Is no prospect that they will ac
complish any special or litstlUK break
away from the old parties. As they
could not win with all of the Democrat
ic party it remains for them to make
Inroads Into the Kepublicnn ranks If
their fondest hopes are to be realized,
and this has been and is their chief
aim. Hut they are to be disappointed
once more, because the Republicans of
Pennsylvania know that It has the
power within itself to take care of the
state government properly, and that
the power Is being awakened. There
need be no desertion of principles to
Improve government in Pennsylvania.
Moreover, In reference to candidates,
none are personally so lacking in public
confidence as Dr. Swallow.

Ilarrlsburp. Oct. 12. The activity In
the adjutant general's olllcv In con
nection with the return of the troops
from the coal field riots has been the
one element of Industry visible on tbe
"hill" durinir tho past week. This last
campairTii of actual work for the Na
tional (iuard is again sliriliiK up the
question whether or not the t iuard
should be utilize J for such purposes
except us a tlnal resource?
Tin- labor situation in tbe state has
nssumeil that eomlilioii where einnlov-
! ers and corporations, and even sher
iffs and peace olllcers of the common
wealth, nre disposed to cull for the
liunrd en tbe slightest prn.'ocalioii.
This puts tile taxpayers tn ciminious
expense, and a iteml many niileers of
tho (iuard ure disposed to thin!; that
It Is not the best thine; lor that or-

The purposes of the National i iuard
are. of course, to repel invasions, d"

To avoid the expense of miilntnlulni;

proposed thnt a force be organized sub

ibivi inor Hastings has washed his
hands of the wlm!.- business, lie has re
fused to meet with the commission. The
attorney general lias declared that the
proc lings of the remnant of th" com
mission, Mylin. Haywood, lioyer and
McCariell, are illegal and taking this
View of It he refused to appear for th"
commission nnd defend them In the
suits that have thus far I l brought.
It Is understood mi the Inside here n
tai l isliut g that there nr.- some very
ugly scandals tu be ventilated in court
when the time comes. Scandals In
which talk of money liguii s and all
that tills implies.
The new secretary of the common
wealth, Hon. llavld .Martin, has taken
up the work dropped by Ceneral l!-odT
and has gone right along without a
hitch or error. There has been no os
tentatious show about It. but the v..rk
uf the otlice Is priicecding with the same
smoothness that it has ever done. Sec
retary Martin spends about four days a
week at the cnpitol.
i- nun an iiiuieni ions tile state cam
paign on the Republican side Is moving
along without any jar or hitch. Tlu r"
Is no practical opposition to Major Levi
O. McCauley for auditor general, and
the Indication!! are that he will l. a.l his
ticket. The state treasury-ship light Is
another matter, nnd presents somo un
usual complications. Tin re are four
recognized candidates in the Held, l!ea-
com, of Westmoreland; Brown, of In
diana (Democratic); Swallow, of Dau
phin (Prohibitionist), and Thompson,
of Allegheny (Independent).
THK STATU CAMPAIGN.
The Democratic candidate Is making
very little noise and It cannot be said
that he Is making anything of a cam
paign. Dr. Swallow and William K.
Thompson are each making a very hot
canvass. In addition to running his re
ligious; newspaper, Jtu Pennsylvania
Methodist, Dr. Swallow is also pub
lishing p, campaign sheet which ho Is
distributing over the state. It Is filled
with attacks on the corruption of the
late legislature and the oillcial turpi
tude of high ofllclals on Capitol Hill. A
corps of 20 speakers Is assisting Dr.
few allow, and meetings are belns; held
in every county of the state by local
workers.
William K. Thompson, the Indepen
dent candidate, who Is a Pittsburg
banker and a son-in-luw of the late
William Thaw, of that city and of the
Pennsylvania railroad, is also putting
up a very stiff fight. His backers have
during the past week opened bead
quarters In Philadelphia and nre send
ing out campaign literature by the ton.
One ofthe most Interesting documents
Is what purports to lie a copy of ihe
now famous Indemnity bond for the
payment of the padded payroll. A
fund of S'.'U.OW has been subscribed bv
the friends of Mr. Thompson tu dis
tribute this literature among the peo
ple of the state and from the cart loads
of m.ill matter that It Is said nre be
ing taken uwny from their heudtmr
ters In Philadelphia every day, it would
seem thnt the money Is being very
rapidly expended.

THK I'A il.M Kits' INSTITI'THS.
Professor John Hamilton, il. puty s.-e-retniy
of agricultutv, has just issued
his bulletins for the fanners' institute
work for the coming winter. The work
as laid out is unusually Interesting and
embraces an unusually large number of
Interesting and Instructive lectures and
talks. During the past season, nnd
profiling by experience. Professor Ham
ilton has purchused a number of slere
opticons which are tu be distributed for
the use of lectures In the various farm
ers institute districts of the state. This
Is a very radical Innovation and will do
more to muke the sessions of farmers'
institutes Interesting and Instructive
than anything else at present. Then.'
are so many subjects that can be pre
sented with lantern Illustrations, and
their value and Interest heightened,
that Prof "ssor Hamilton must I.n re
garded ns the thoughtful pioneer in this
widely extended Held.
Farmers' Institutes this year will be
very successful. The large crop.', the
general feeling that an era of g 1
times is at hand and the di:'p e-it ion to
lak" advantage, of them In a.i intel
ligent way will crowd th" inMi'ute tor
sions to th" doors.
