NO REFORMS ARE PROMISED Judge Pennypacker's Opinion That We Have No Ills Worthy of Men tion Makes Him an Undesirable Candidate—Democratic Victory in Pennsylvania Has Had No Effect on National Elections. In a ringing and manly arraignment of the Republican machine that holds Philadelphia and commonwealth in its merciless grasp Thomas L. Hicks, post master of the city of Philadelphia, un der the late President McKinley, a life long Republican of the stalwart type, and one of the most influential politic ians of that, gives cogent reasons why ' he has decided to throw the weight of his vote and influence in favor of ex- Governor Robert E. Pattison, and tells why he thinks the welfare of the state can best be conserved by the election , of the Democratic Gubernatorial can didate. In his interview Mr. Hicks says: "I cannot support Judge Pennypacker after his open declaration that Penn sylvania has no ills that are worthy ot mention. E. L. TUSTIN'S INCONSISTENCY. "Ernest L. Tustin, vice chairman of the Union party City Committee, in an interview recently published, is quoted as saying: I know both Judge Pennypacker and Mr. Pattison. When it comes to a choice between them, speaking for my- Bfc'if, 1 am a Republican and snail vote for the judge. 1 believe that Judge Pennypacker, as governor, will main tain and insist upon the same high standard of efficiency as marked his administration as judge of the court of common pleas for the last 13 years. OTHER THINGS NOT EQUAL. "Mr. Tustin assumes that, as Judge Pennypacker and Mr. Pattison are men of high character and standing in the community, all other things are equal, and, therefore, as a Republican, it is his duty to support the Republican candidate. If other things were equal, Mr. Tustin's position would he sound, and he would be right in his conclu sions, and should, as a Republican support Judge Pennypacker. But other things are not equal. "Last fall Mr. Tustin and others joined in the formation of the Union party and adopted the following plat form of the Union party, city and county of Philadelphia: UNION PARTY PLATFORM. The political party dominant in this state and city has had complete con trol of the machinery of the state and city government, in all departments and branches, for many years. Its power, prestige and leadership have been assumed by a combination of men who command and use its or ganization at will. They trample upon all pledges and promises to give to the people reforms, good government and un honest administration of public af fairs ami control and manipulate the organization and machinery to serve only their selfish interests and per sonal ends. Not only have they utterly failed in their promises, but have recklessly vio lated every pledge, and have left a record of steadily increasing and inso lent disregard of the rights of the peo ple. The Union party has been called into being for the single purpose of over throwing evil combinations now in control in the state and city and elect ing men, without regard to party affil iations, who will administer, with sim ple honesty and ability, the offices to which they are elected. It does not aim to sever citizens from their affiliation with the great parties that are divided on questions of na tional politics. Its struggle is for an honest ballot ahd for the restoration of integrity and capacity in state and municipal affairs. STILL THE SAME MACHINE. "Is not the Republican machine just as powerful, unscrupulous and as much the foe of good government and opposed to an honest administration of public affairs as it was when Mr. Tustin subscribed to tills declaration? Who has changed? Has Judge Penny packed subscribed to the Union party platform? On the contrary, is he not the candidate of the machine which this platform condemns? "Is he not even more? Is he not the open apologist and the defender of the machine and its doings? Has he not, in effect, declared that the of fenses denounced by this platform do not constitute Ills worthy of mention? The machine has not changed; its candidate for governor sees nothing in it that is evil. CANNOT SUPPORT PENNYPACKER "I believe the Union party plat form was an honest declaration when It was made, and I believe that all the statements therein contained are as true today as they were last fall, and therefore cannot support Judge Pennypacker after his open declara tion that 'Pennsylvania has no ills worthy of mention.' j "Mr. Pattison has twice given to ! the people of Pennsylvania a clean, i honest, businesslike administration I of the office of governor. He stands I pledged against machine methods and practices, and is also pledged to do all in his power to aid the people of our state in correcting the evils de j nounced by the Union party platform. A DUTY TO VOTE FOR PATTISON. "Therefore, as a Republican, faith ful to the party and its interests for 30 years, but opposed to the machine rule responsible for all the ills from which oitr people suffer, I deem it my duty to support Mr, Pattison, as the only means, in my judgment, of deal ing to the machine the severest blow that be given It. PENNSYLVANIA SURE FOR THE REPUBLICANS IN 1904 IF PATTI SON IS ELECTED THIS YEAR. "The widely heralded assertion that the election of Mr. Pattison as governor will endanger the presidency in 1904 is absurd. We have only to refer to 1882 and 1890, when Mr. Pattison was twice elected governor, Pennsylvania stood loyally to the Republican candidate for president and gave her electoral votes In 1884 and 1892, by majorities of 81,- 000 votes in 1883 and 64,000 votes in 1892, whereas in the two former con tests for president Pennsylvania's Re publican majorities were but 38,000 votes in 1880, and but 18,000 votes in 1876; so that it would appear that the election of a Democratic Governor two years in advance of a presidential con test results in increasing Pennsylva nia's Republican majorities for presi dential candidates. Should Mr. Patti son be elected governor this year Penn sylvania will, wunout doubt, cast her vote for the Republican candidate for president two years hence. "Will those supporting the political machine which dominates the affairs of our state and city assert that the Quay- Penrose-Durham organization is not responsible for the reckless legislation enacted by the last legislature of Penn sylvania—the ripper bills, the coal land grabs, the franchise steals and other objectionable measures? EVILS DUE TO THE MACHINE. "Will they assert that the same ma chine is not responsible for the unsat isfactory administration of the affairs of Philadelphia? "The granting of rapid transit and telephone franchises withopt compen sation? "The destruction of our expensive street paving and sidewalks by the tele phone and other companies—because of these unguarded and special franchises? "The awarding of contracts to the higher instead of the lowest bidders, and this at excessive prices? "The padded assessments, importing into the city gangs of repeaters, gross election frauds? "The permitting of running of speak easies, policy shops, gambling estab lishments and many other items too numerous to mention? AN UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT WHY PENNYPACKER SHOULD NOT BE ELECTED GOVERNOR. "If it be true that the people of our city and state suffer very many griev ous wrongs, only a few of which have been referred to, and if it be true that the Republican machine organi zation is responsible for these wrongs, and if it be also true that Senator Quay, aided by Senator Penrose and Commissioner Durham, is the con trolling influence of these organiza tions, is it not a logical conclusion to assert that if Judge Penny packer knows of no wrongs from which Penn sylvania suffers that are worthy of mention, and believes that Senator Quay is greater than Webster or Clay, that he is so good and true that he could do no wrong, then, in the event of his election as governor of Penn sylvania. may we not expect that he will accept, and be guided by the ad vice of Senator Quay, and continue the character of an administration such as we have recently been sub jected to? "On the other hantj, will the advo cates of the Republican machine tick et deny that Governor Pattison. either as controller or governor, gave to the citizens of Philadelphia and to the people of Pennsylvania a clear, busi ness-like and honest administration of the affairs of every office he has ever filled? If this be true, is it not fair to presume, judging a man by deeds performed, that lie will, if elected, again give to the people of the commonwealth a clean, honest and business-like administration of the office of governor?" The Tyranny of Trivial Things. The groat emotional experiences of life are belittled by the same insist ence upon the trivial. Life and love look into each other's eyes, a man and woman elect each other from all the world, but the Joyful solemnity of marriage is ruffled by the details of the wedding, perhaps by family squab bles over flowers and gowns and invi tations. Or great death comes in at the door, and the little human soul, overwhelmed with grief, appalled by the sudden opening of eternity before Its eyes, yet fusses (there Is no other word for it) over "mourning," over the width of the hem of the veil or the question of crape buttons or dull jet. This may be shocking or mournful or ludicrous, as one happens to look at it hut it is certainly uncivilized. Har per's Bazar. POPH Tewf.

Little boys and girls In Japan have lots of fun with toy frogs which they cleverly make for themselves out of paper. Here Is the way they are made: Cut a piece of paper in the shape of a perfect square (Fig. 1 of explanato ry design). Fold the paper along the diagonals A A, turn It around and fold along the lines B B. When this Is done. Fig. 2 can easily be made. Fold the ends B and A as shown in Fig. 3. You will now have a series of eight small wings around O A as axle. Fold the paper at point A, and fold it care fully in such away that you get two new regular points as shown in Fig. 4. After going through the same opera tion with all eight wiugs of the folded paper you will get Fig. 5. Fold each wing of the paper again, the point S toward the center axle (Fig. 0), and take care that you get the folds at XZa 5 6 7 HOW TO MAKE A FROO. point A correct as possible. To finish the frog (Fig. 7) unfold two of the upper points (A) and bond them to form the front legs, while you fold the two low er points (A) to form the hind legs. The left side of Fig. 7 shows the points not yet folded, while the right side gives the shape of the finished legs. The LlKlitnfnpr Artlwt. Cover u chromo or even an oil paint ing, for it will not be injured, with a thick coating of dry chalk or "whiting" so that it shows no trace of a picture, but looks like a blank canvas. Then place it on an easel gently so as not to dislodge the chalk and call In your friends. You have provided yourself of course with a palette rjchly bedaubed with oil colors and allowed to dry. If you do not own and cannot borrow a palette and colors, make a palette of cardboard and drop sealing wax of va rious colors along Its edge. Any old brushes will do, and the more you have of them the better. They must be thor oughly saturated with water, but not dripping, as a falling drop of milky water might "give the whole thing away." Now set to work and "paint" with rapid strokes, making a great show of mixing colors on your palette and changing brushes frequently so that the picture as it grows beneath your magic brush shall not be clouded by adhering chalk. A Cnmlle Trlolc. Procure a good largo apple or turnip and cut from It a piece resembling the butt end of a tallow candle. Then from an almond or other nut whittle out a small peg, which stick into the piece of apple for a wick. You have now a very fair representation of a candle. You can light the wick, and It will burn for at least a minute. After lighting the candle and letting it burn for a minute, blow It out. Tell your friends that you are very fond of eat ing caudles; that they are not bad to the taste; that In cold countries, as in Greenland, they are considered delica cies. Ask your friends If they would like n bite. They will of course say no. Then say you will eat it yourself, whereupon you can put It In your mouth and chew It up, to the surprise of the company.—American Boy. Tlie Game of KltiK Simple. An old game for boys and girls Is de scribed as follows: A base Is marked off at either end of the playground. One of the players Is chosen catcher, sometimes called a "wolf." The catch er takes up Ills position in the middle between the two bases. The others run across from base to base while the wolf, or catcher, endeavors to catch and hold them. If he can hold one while he can count ten, it is considered a fair cateli, and the prisoner becomes a wolf and assists in the capture of more. Poor Pupa!
