A young lady, quite a society girl, in
Elmira, came in here the other day and
asked me for something to make mole.
She explained to me that another certain
young lady had mole on her wrist,
fright on the line Of lifen as a fortune
teller had said, and that it indicated a
sunny disposition, a good husband, long
life, happiness, riches, and pretty nearly
everything else on the calendar, | suppose
her rival had been making use of the in
formation, and therefore the young woman
applied to me for something to cause q
similar lucky sign TO grow on her arm.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

Rev DR. Conrad of Philadelphia is
something of an iconoclast. He would
have the 10Th of October, the anniver-
of Columbus discovery of America,
instead of the last Thursday in Novem-
Der. designated as the National day of
Thanksgiving. The suggestion has
something to commend it. The last
of November is liable to be inclement
and dreary, and its selection for giving
thanks has no historic significance
beyond an accidental choice of the
Puritan fathers.
We do not think, however that Dr.
Conrad will live to see the time when
the 18th of October shall be our day of
thanks. There is traditional charm
about the time now selected to break
which would do much to do away with
its celebration.
Besides, the 18th of October would
lie little "too previous" Turkeys,
cranberry sauce and mince pies are not
then ripe, and what would the day be
without them? There is nothing more
cheery--nothing that warns the heart
and the inner man generally more than
to go home on a tingling, snowy
Thanksgiving day, and after warming
up by cosy fire, go down to dinner
and eat enough for five farm hands.
One feels like giving thanks, as after
accomplishing this feat he drowsily
sits before the home blaze in semi
comatose state like boa-constrictor
that has just eaten a COW or mission
ary. We wish it understood that THE
CRITIC is a turkey cranberry sauce
last week-in-November organ.

WATCHING AT THE WIN

Watching IOr n e ut the window
Through ringlcts of fossy gold,
With the roses claspcd I'm his fingers
As only a child may hold;
And his eyes like the laughing bluebeus
That dance in the dusky void.
Watching for me at the window,
o sweetest Of baby boys.
Forgetting his gleefu frOlcs,
Forgetting his treasured toys!
o rarest of budding roses,
o dearest Of earthly joys!
Watching for me at the window
But oh, IL Is far and high,
And my feet are weary OF climbing
Since my darling no longer Is nigh;
With his eyes that are glad at my coming,
And his voice that responds 10 my cry.
Watching for me at the window,
O darling, hasten to thee,
As up from the din OF the city
In the days may neycrmOre see;
To clasp thee again to my bosom,
In the heaven that waits for me.

AM EUR SPORTS.

The people this country are gradu-
ally taking mor> Qrrect views of sport
ing matters. Hanlan few years ago
when pitted against another good oars
man would draw crowds numbering
thousands. Now that he has gone into
the hippodroming business, it is true he
continues to draw crowds, but they are
made up principally of "sports" rather
than of people who desire to see a race
simply for the pleasure of the thing.
A college boat race or an amateur re-
gatta like the one so excellently man
aged and carried out on the Potomac
yesterday has more interest in it to the
general community than all of these
Hanlan- Lee Conley exhibitions.
A professional bicycle race would
never pack an immense park as did the
amateur contests in Springfield this
week. Maud S. pitted against her
record is worth, in the eyes of people
generally interested in feet.foo tray
elers, more than any combination that
could be sent on the road by profes
sional horse owners, The interest in
the contest between the Geue5ta and
the Puritan is another instance which
shows that our pee pc are losing in
terest in the strictly professional busl
ness.
OF course we will always have thu
latter with us, but these are healthy
signs that the amateur is rapidly taking
first place in popular estimation.
