But 1 am fully pi rounded that it pressed to do so, I CUUJLl not give good, sound reasons for my helm, and I confess that I often Violate my creed. The fact is, that in the discussion of great fundamental ideas like those of religion or sociology, I find them to be like a creek in the mountains. Follow the creek up, and you will find innun‘emble brooks bab- ling into it from innumerable hollOVvs between the hills. Each brook is filled "with the sparkling product of God’s dis- tillery, each rivulet adds something to the volume of water in the creek flowing onward to the see. But I have not the time nor the genius to explore all these streams of thought to their source, and so I take the sunshine as he sends it, the water as he brews it, the laughter and the tears as they are cooked at his good pleasure. And sometimesâ€"very often, in factâ€"I find myself violating the conclusions of cold ethics and giving money to a. beggar. This much before I tell my story.

'1 hanksgiving Day not many years ‘ ago. ’Twas a. cold November day in. Battery park, New York. The sun shone feebly from behind a. bank of clouds, yet the air was keen and bracing. It brought color to the cheeks and brightness to the eyes of some idlers seated upon the benches. Most of the persons in the park were apparently of foreign extraction. A little Frenchman, I wrapped in a cloak and who took fre-. quent pinches of snuff, formed a strikâ€" : ing contrast to a. brawney longshoreman ‘ in a blue blouse and overalls. Another picturesque group was formed of 3. Bulgarian mother with her three child- ren, aliens who looked upon the evi- dences of a new civilization with fear and distrust. The rest of the occupants of the park were bits of floatsam and jetsam of humanity common in every large seaport town. The day of Thanks- giving was unknown to them. For the most ‘pa'rt7they were thinking of the lees of life and had nothing to be thankful for except the material fact of a. cheer- less existence. , i While watching this drift from alien TWO THANKSGIVINGS_ The Grand Old Day.

The sun came out for a minute and made him distinctly visible in all his abject- ness. For he was the most wretched looking man I had ever seen. His derby hat was brimless, his once blue l blouSe> had lost all of its original color, ‘ and his trousers, hung about his emaci- ‘ated legs like a stocking about a pipe stem. Upon his sallow face was four weeks’ growth of stubby black beard. His face was dark and his eyes had that pale, sickly glean; sometimesseen under the dry husk of an onion. He walked with a. slow, shambling, uncertain step, and his shoulders drooped as though he was all gone inside and every minute he expected to collapse. The very ab llectness of his condition fascinated me, and while still loathing him i watched his approach with interest. As he came up to me he seized the elbow of his leit arm by putting his right hand behind his back. In this curious attitude he spoke: 1 could see the sham p elbows lift with a despaii 111g gesture and the sallow face maiden 11100 cm rugatcd lines. One man, .1 ho looked jollya and well fed, perpe- u-aLed a. ghastly joke by putting 111s “and in his trousers pocket when the mendicant asked him the fatal question and producing a paper of tobacco. Then Mr. jolly read Mr. Misery a. little homily on the injustice of poverty, and W er Misery’s face there spread ashadow of a grin. and such a grin as may be seen on the face of a mummy. It was as if he had said: ” Did starvation ever roost in your stomach for three days 2 ” ”Will he jump off the dock now?“ I wondered to myself. No He is ac~ tually “bracing” a park policeman. The gray coat simply waved him away with his club. Then, with a courage born of his awful need, he tackled two officers at the door of the barge office, but without success. He stood upon the sidewalk and passed his hand wearily across his forehead, as if he was awaken- ing from a dream. W'ould you give me one cent, sir ?” This he said in a voice which seemed to come out of the very sub’ collar of de- spair, so monotonous was it, so utterly bereft of the ring of hepe. ”No sir, “ I replied, ”I could not. “ He made no reply in words, but his elbows luted slightly and his long finger hulls, winch wore mourning for depart- ed uleanhness, sunk into the palms of his hands. Lake a man who felt that death was steppmg on his heels, he turned away. ‘l'here Were a. dozen other men seated in Battery park, and to each one ox Lheae he in turn put the same question that he had to me. He met the same rchy each time, for as he turned away A feeling of curiosity had prompted me to follow him. “ Does he need whis- ky or bread 1” I thought. I determin- ed to find out, and so I beckoned him into a dark corner around the barge of- fice. The fires of hope must have been enkindled in him, for two tears rolled out of his eyes and I fancied I could hear them fall spat ! spat! upon the stones. “Are you hungry 2” said I. “ I didn’t eat anything in three days, ” he replied. “ Are you dry ? ” “ No, sir ; there’s water in the park. " “Is your favorite restaurant near by? ‘ “ Yes, sir. Up in Greenwich street.’ “ Well, come along. ” And as we went toward his restaurant I pumped him by the way. "l'was a long and sorrowful story he told. His name was George Moore, and he was a Cornish miner. “Times was better, sir, ” said, “ when 1 came to this country eight; year ago. Ye see, I heard there was money to be made in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, an,’ like a fule, 1 came here. There was three of usâ€"Nellie and the baby and myself. Dear heart, when I think of how my Nellie looked when we land- ed at Castle Garden eight years ago, with the roses in her cheeks and the light in her brown eyes, and she so hope in], sir, that we would make a small fortune in a few years”â€"â€"- ? By this time we had reached the door gof one of those modest and inconven- ‘Ltionaleating houses where the menu is ‘painted on a. board and set outside the door. We entered and he sat down at §Mable. His unexpected good fortune had paralyzed him, and the prospect of Here he pausea as if to choke back the emotions which were sweeping over him like a flood. Then he continued : “Just eight years ago to dav ‘twas, sir, I had dollars in my pocket then. Good hard English pounds. and the smell of roasting turkey as we went by the restaurants didn’t have the effect upon me then that it has today, sir. Well, we went to Shamokin, in Pennsyl~ vunia. I had no difficulty in getting work, and we were getting along nicely when I was taken sick. Then all the money melted away like hoar frost. l'he sickness lasted six months, and be- cause of poor food and weakness the baby died. After that things went on from bad to worse, until Nellie sickened with the consumption. Then I cursed the country and the mines. But it done no good, for my wife went like the baby, and since she’s gone, sir, I’m all broke up. 7, “Oh, just knockin’ around doin’ an odd job here an’ thereâ€"starvin’ mostly.

I’ve a. rich relative in M'ichi- gen, a mine owner. “Why don’t you apply to him for as- siswnce?” said I. “ Because I’d die afore he’d know the shape I’m in. ” H ere he stopped, and it seemed to me that he gathered hls failing powers to getner, as if he were about to give ex- pression to a great thought. Then he blurted out: “ An’ she were a. good woman, sxr, an’ I loved her 1 ” “And what have you been doing since her death?” said I. As Misery gazed upon this feast, which in his e<timation was plenty good enough for the gods who sat upon Mount Olympus, his eyes filled again and this time the bears fell. \Vhen I asked for the bill the pr0prietor handed “Well, old fellow, I must go, ” said I, after settling the bill, as I reached out my hand for a. parting shake. He reached out a. grimy fist, and when it left mine there was a. silver quarter in his palm. He was just about paying his respects to the roast beef, but this princely gift choked him up so that he laid his head upon the arm of the once blue blouse. 1 could see his stoop shoulders heave, and although there was no sound, there were plenty of signs of an internal commotion. “ But I am that very chap, and that square meal you gave me, besides the sxlver quarter, put new courage into me and I began to pluck up heart. And now I am a. clerk in a grocery store and earning $103. week. My luck turned “God bless you ” said the rejuven- ated tramp as we stepped out upon the sidewalk, placing hlS hands on my shoulders. His features worked con vulsively as he continued. “ When I resolved to take a. new grip and was hunting around tor a job, I used to sit in the park and drop the silver quarter upon the pavement, and the ging it gave out reminded me of the chapel bell at home and of Nellie and the baby. Even now, comfortably situated as I am, 1 often take out the quarter and ji 1311; it. The sound is always comforting, and so I find that Thanksgiving Day is not confined to the last Thursday in November. ” me'a. check for the mu-nifi-cent sum of 20 cents, which I discovered was scheduled rates. On Thanksgiving day, a year later, I was seated at a table in a Fourteenth street restaurant. Opposite to me, at the same table, sat a. respectable look- ing man of about 40 years. He wore a neat suit of cassimere and was clean and wholesome in appearance. I noticed during the course of the meal that he watched me very closely, ' and just as I rose to leave the restaurant he touched me on the shoulder and said : “ Do yoh remember meeting a. tramp last Thanksgiving day in Battery park? ” said he. on that silver quarter. 1 had to part with it once for a. bed, but I persuaded the hotel keeper to keep it ouil I could redeem it. ” He put his hand in his pocket and drew out the silver piece. It was pocket worn, but had the ring of the true silver n i t. a square meal had robbed him of speech. When the frowsy waiter dumbly as a Sheep might look at its executionem Then I ordered for him a big dish of vegetable soup. When it was placed before him, with islands of potatoes, carrots and cabbage floating in it, the savory steam arose and dilated his nos- rils and a wolfish glare 3ame into his onion colored eyes. So famished was he that, there being no spoon handy, be seized a knife and plunged into the mess, and while he ate there seemed to be a lump in his throat which prevented his swallowing. While he was busy with this dish I ordered a big plate of roast beef, and the waiter brought two cuts which looked as if they had been taken from the forehead of the critter. This was flanked by a dish of mealy potatoes, bursting their brown jackets, and a bowl or coffee almost big enough to take a bath in. “ Excuse me, sir, but didn’t I have the pleasure of meeting you before ‘1 ” “That may be, ” I erlied, “but if so I Image forgotten it. ” “ I do, bub-why, you cannot possibly be that man I” Still this giving money to a beggar is a. bad practice. When cleaning the room thoroughly it is a good plan to remove the lighter articles of upholstered furniture into the air and the heavier ones into another room in which the Windows are opened. Hair cloth is best cleaned by beating with a small switch or rattan, afterward wiping with a soft cloth. If it is old and losing its colour it can be made to look almost as good as new by wiping it over with a cloth wet in ink. Plush furniture should be brushed with a bris- tle brush. A medium’sized paint brush is just the thing. Never switch plush, as it will leave a mark that any amount of brushing will not entirely obliterate. A small paint brush for the crevices of the woodwork is a necessity to keep it in good condition by removing the dust. Wipe over the woodwork with a Sufi, damp cloth, and polish with dry cloth. A small quantity of warmed linseed oil rubbed well into the wood, and this afterward rubbed briskly with a soft, dry cloth, will give the wood a nice, soft polish. See that the castors on the heavy articles of furniture are in good condition so that they will not tear or mark the carpet when moved from their places. A little machine or keroseni oil will do good service if applied tothen occasionally, applying only enough to make them work freely, as too much is apt to work down, and leave an ugly spot on the. carpetâ€"Boston Budget. Persons frequently form strange attach- ments. An illustration of this was fur- nished the Probate Court yesterday by the provisions of the will of Maggie Watson, which was probated. After providing that out of the estate was to be paid the expense of a hearse and four carriages for the funeral, and that her body be laid beside that of her hu~ band, and a monument be put on her grave like that of his, the will goes on to providezâ€"“It is my will that the two china. dogs now in my room be each separately put in a box with glass fronts, both alike, and one plaéed on my dear husband’s grave at Spring Grove arid the other on niy grave, and all to be paid for out of the money’ I leave.”â€" Cixd’mati Emir”.
