his yowner, and 60 out ter-morrah and
git de 'possum, de 'riginal turkey ob
old Vahginiah, do turkey of yer faith
ers'-and 10 the ancestor vanished.
Perspiring at every pore Caesar AL
exander shouldered the turkey and
started toward Col. Fairgroye's. just
as he was about to enter the yard,
through the break in the fence pre-
viously made by himself, he felt anoth-
or hand laid on his shoulder with con-
siderable emphasis. Fearing that an
other and still more terrible ancestor
was about to have speech with him, he
sank to the earth, without daring to
look around. Then the hand grabbed
him more firmly and gave him vigor-
Gus shake. He looked up. appealingly
and confronted the constable. With
groan he tainted dead away.
what ye groanin' and carrying on
like an animal fur p was the next
thing he heard. The question was
propounded in his wife's most uLgen.
tie voice.
He opened his eyes slowly and in alb
ject fear, and found himself sitting by
his own 6resde, the children IL bed
and Mrs. ShaKewell standing by him
with her hand on his shoulder. He
never was 80 happy in his life. Col.
Fairgroye's turkey was safe where it
belonged ; he had never stolen 1t, and
he hadn't met any dead and gone an
cestor at all. only in dreams. Further
more, he inwardly resolved that he
never would, if ancestors visits only
followed thefts.
The next day when he set off with
his gun he told Mrs. Shakewell that he
would bring home 'Vahginiah' tur-
key. And he did. He held it up with
pride and joy on his return, and was
rewarded by smile from that exacting
lady.
The 'possum was eaten with gravy
and grace, and Mr.. Shakewell's stand
ing in the community remained unim-
paired. AS he bent over his own
fragrant thanksgiving board he had
more than usual cause for gratitude.
'Vahginiah turkeys was good enough
fer my fathers, and good 'nough fer
me- he often says but though he
sometimes tells of the encounter with
his ancestor, he never tells of the cause
of that worthy individuals visit to
him. MAX ELTON.

An Early Blizzard.
HEAVY SNOW FROM DAKOTA TO LAKE
MICHIGAN IMPEDED.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-No such storm
as that of to-day has been known
throughout the Northwest so early in
the season for many years. In this
city a steady rain has been falling
since I o'clock last night and prevails
generally between here and the Mis-
sissippi river, west of which there is a
heavy snow and bowling blizzard,
seriously delaying telegraphic COM
munication in all directions. At st.
Paul the snow was continuous yester-
day, growing heavier after midnight,
and this morning the people found the
streets so badly blockaded that travel
was next to impossible. The blizzard
began in Dakota and swept east and
south through Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Northern Illinois and Michigan.
At Sioux Falls, Dakota, the snow con-
tinued for eighteen hours and the
temperature fell to zero. On the 1lli-
nois Central Railroad, between Fort
Dodge and Sioux City, the cuts are
filled with snow and snow plows have
been sent out to clear the tracks.
Trains are impeded en- many roads
and the blizzard is movin G eastward,
bringing the snow and falling ther-
mometer with it.
At st. Paul at 9 O'Clock to-nig bit
the storm had ragged forty-eie ht hours
and showed no signs of abatement.
Street cars have not been runni ng in
either St. Paul or Minneapolis to-day
and trains on oil railroads are from
three to six hours late. While the
storm seems to be general throughout
the Northwest it is most violent in
Southern Dakota. A Sioux Fa.lls
special says that more snow has al
ready fallen than during the enti'
season last winter. The wind is blow :
ing heavy gale from the north and
the snow is drifting very badly.
Trains on nearly all the roads are a.
bandoned. Tie temperature is at ze-
70 and falling. There is also strong
electrical disturbance. Other points
state that the storm is no less severe.
A train with one hundred passeng-
ers on board is showed in eleven
miles west of Canton, Oak. The
passengers are being fed from small
station near by. The Milwaukee
Railway is lined with dead engines in
snow drifts.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
The Limited Express Struck By
Rolling Rocks.

PIrTsBURG, Nov. lS.-The heavy
rains of last night caused a most dis
astrous landslide from Mt. Washing
ton. on the south side of the Mononga-
hela river, the sides of which are al
most perpendicular, and along the base
of which the Pan Handle Railroad is
constructed. The Limited Express on
the Pan Handle Road, due in the city
at 9.40, had reached place just beyond
the Point Bridge, one mile from Union
Station, when mass Of rock came
crashing down the hillside. The train
consisted of three Pullman cars, in ad-
dition to several mail cars. The hrst
sleeper WAS the Cincinnati, and the Sec
ond AID third from Indianapolis. The
first mass struck the Cincinnati sleep
er. crushing through the roof near the
centre. This car had very few passen-
gers in, and nearly all of them were up
and in the lavatories. D. Arnheim, of
this city, was staGding in the isle and
was crushed beneath huge rock. Mr..
A. S. Bennett, of New York, was still
in his berth and mass crushed
through the upper berth. carried it
down upon him, and pinned him be-
meath it. The second car was struck
in the centre, one huge rock goin 9
through from one side to the other, ,and
tearing out Hearly the entire side of the
car. The other car was also badly
| crushed. Nearly the entire mass re-
NAMED on the cars, and as the track
was but very little obstructed the con-
ductor ordered the engineer to pull out
for the Union station as rapidly as pos
sible. A telephone message bad been
sent giving information of the accl-
dent. By the time the train pulled
into the station The entire force
of employees was ready to assist in re.
moving the injared from the cars,
stretchers and all other requirements
as we'll AS force of physicians, being
on hand. The cars were in such con-
dition that they could be brought In,
hut the presence of mild of the con
ductor was most commendable. The
injured were removed as rapidly as
possible and conveyed to hotels near at
hand and MADE as comfortable as posi-.
BILE The accident caused great excite
ment. When the news was first an
nounced the most exaggerated reports
gained currency. The passengers gave
some most graphic descriptions OF the
scenes in the different sleepers at the
time of the accident, and the only Won
der is that everv one aboard was not
killed OF injured. The casualties thus
far number eight, two of whom, u.
Arnheim, of Allegheny, and A. ,.
Bennett, of New York, are likely to die.
The scene where the accident occurred
is one of the most dangerous along the
line of the road, but it is so carefully
watched. especially after heavy rain
falls. that no accidents to trains have
occurred at that point for a NUMBER sot
years.

about eight years old when he changed
masters, being sold for good round
price to a man who called himself Prof.
Williams. This man was yentrllo-
quist and juggler, and he took the boy
to Australia with him, and gave hall
performances for year or so. They
then returned. and made the tour of
Scotland and Ireland, and sailed for
America. Albright was about eleven
years old when he landed in New York.
The Professor then took the name OF
La Pierre, though he was no French

a year. One day as they were filling a
date at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the boy
was sent to the postoffice with letters,
and a curious thing happened. One OF
the four boys who had witnessed the
performance the night previous made
up to him in friendly way, and asked
his name.

"Yes, but that is your stage name.

Two hours later a man and his wife
called at the hotel and asked for the
boy, and the mother had no sooner set
eyes on him than she hugged him to
her heart. The fatherIwas longer max
ing up his mind, but he soon came TO
feel certain that John Manton was
Willie Albright and the boy who had
been stolen from him SeYen or eight
years before. The parents had been in
America three years, and had long be-
fore given up all hopes OF ever hearing
from the child. The professor made a
great kick,as his bread and butter were
at stake, but when he found the people
determined to have justice done he slip
ped away in the night and was heard OF
no more.-N. Y. Sun.

BLACK CHEWING GUM. - Lately
there has crept into the Detroit mark
ct substance known as "black chew
ing gum,' made out of tar, which is
said by medical men to be extremely
harmful and pernicious. 1t is becom-
ing a great favorite with local gum
chewers, but physicians assert its use
is productive of sore mouths and in
Vulnerable throat diseases. Put up
in fancy paper, sold at a penny a
block, fayored with some unknown
ingredient, and christened with a
sweetly-sounding name, as "luti-tuti, "
for instance, the black chewing gum is
forcing its entrance into all grades of
Detroit society, and driving its rivals
to the wall. But it is nothing but
tar-cheap tar at that-mixed with
gelatine and favored with-heaven
and the manufacturer only know
what.-Free Press.

FOR WHAT SHALL WE BE

Some Old. Oft Repeated Questions,

For what shall we be thankful =

For what shall we be thankful p
say the poor. THE earth overilows
with plenty, but we are destitute.
Cold and hunger is our portion, and
want is our companion all the days OF
the year.
For what shall we be thankful "
say the hopeless. The days go on,tut
they bring us no joy. The sun and
moon traverse the heavens without
warming our chilled hearts or lighting
our dark pathway
For what shall we be thankful =
say the disappointed. Wherever We
tuIn, there, waiting 10 dishearten us,
turks disappointment. When we rise

For what shall we be thankful p

fallen. 'Our temptations have over

there is nothing left but wretchedness. ,
For what shall we be thankful =

fail when we pray no answer comes 1;
when we hope our hopes are never re-
allied when we love our loves are lost
to u.s.
For what shall we be thankful =
say the bereaved. Death has robbed
us and left us moaning. Our sore
hearts cannot take up the cry of rejoic-
ing, for we weep uncontrolled.
For what shall we be thankful p

For what shall we be thankful p
