Only one thing was wrong; his queue

remarked in dignified manner:

town was seventeen miles away, and
there was only one way for brave little
Emma to get there, and that was by
walking. She set off, however, on the
lonely and hazardous journey, only to
find when she reached her destination
that eleven other girls had got there i'm
advance of her. Footsore and weary
she crossed the Threshold of the room
in which the other applicants were
sitting. A man was cross-examinIng
one of them, and as she entered ali

surprised as she gasped out, "I have
walked seventeen miles to get this
place" The man jumped mp from his
seat and exclaimed, ''Aud you shall

SAFETY LIES IN A STILL TONGUE
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER |


An incident which shows how careful
people should be about making remarks
when strangers are around occurred al
the Centennial on church day. Rev.
NJ. G. Lockwood was speaking. His
wife sat in the audience. Two strange
ladies sitting by her were conversing
Said one of them: Chow do you like
him?" The other replied: "He is a
good speaker. but hear he abuses his
much less minister, who mistreats his
WIFE," The first lady denied that the
statement was true, but the other
persisted that she had it from good
authority. When the exercises were
over Mrs. Lockwood, who had heard
the entire conversation, asked the ladies
what they thought of the speaker. "I
liked him all very much," replied No.
2, "but | have nothing but contempt
for Lockwood, who mistreats his wife,"
''That is mistake" quietly retorted
Mrs. Lockwood ssThere never was a
better HUSBAND. now, because am
his wife," If bolt of lightning had
struck at her feet the woman who had
made the assertion about the reverend
gentleman's brutality could not have
been more surprised. She turned pale,
and confusedly offered profuse apollo
gies. To make matters worse. Mrs
Lockwood called the doctor and intro
duced him. 1t was a most laughable
situation while Mr.. Lock W ood and his
wife enjoyed the woman spiteful

THEN THEY SMILED.

They met in horse car, two young
women whose tawny faces showed that
they were just back from the seashore,
and when they had kissed and embrac-
ed and been through the preliminary
nonsense necessary to the occasion, one
said to the other:-
ooh, you dear thingl l had such a
Irritation with ysur husband while you
were down east. He came down to
Nantaskot almost every night"
Eyes, he wrote me about it," the
other returned sweetly. "He said you
didn't seem to know anybody, and
were so lonely he quiet pitied YOU"
"He was always so kind to neglected
girls" the first speaker murmured.
You know they said when you were
married that he would have taken all
the wall-fowers il he could, he was
30 generous
And then they smiled lovingly ON
each other.

he records it differently from what the

ANCIENT THANKaIYIlTe pAY9

Thanksgiving day was suggested,
doubtless, by the Hebrew feast of the
tabernacles, or "feast of ingathering at
the end Of the year." Its history in
America begins as early as 1921. The
occasional observance of such q day,
formally recommended by the civil
authorities, was not unusual i'm Europe
al an earlier date. In Holland the first
anniversary OF the deliverance of the
city of Leyden from the siege, October
8, 1875, was kept as religious festival
of Thanksgiving and praise. In the
English church service, the fifth of
November is 80 celebrated, in commem-
Grafton of the discovery of the gun
powder plot.
One of the most remarkable thanks
giving customs on record prevailed in
Southampton and Easthampton, Long
Island. Montauk Point, which con-
sists of 5000 acres, was owned by
numerous proprietors in these towns,
and used as q common pssturage for
stock. The time of driving the herds
home to winter was fixed at meeting
by the town council, 'and it came"
says the historian, 'tO be a rule from
the period beyond which the memory
OF man runneth not, that the Thursday
ST thelweek following the return of the
cattle from Mantauk should be observ-
ed as day of thanksgiving"
At an early period of New England
history, certain periods of prosperity
were often made the occasions OF public
thanksgivings, or teasts, and often q
day of fasting and prayer was turned
into a day of thanksgiving by what
seemed an immediate answer to their
prayers. Perhaps, to recall to our
minds that first thanksgiving of the
pilgrim fathers may put US to the blush.
Often on this day have 1 heard such
remarks ss 81 have no thanks to give; {;
| have nothing for which to be thank
tu," from lips that it wsuld seem
might have had life's work in framing
words OF praise and gratitude, so bless
ed were they in the health OF them
selves and their dear ones, while for
some fancied trouble this great good
was quite overlooked.

SHE WANTED TO BE A OOWBOW.
Nay Abbett, Formerly of Chicago.
Gets In Jail for Shooting
at Her Father.

May Abbott, a strapping, dime
novel-readiDg girl, of Stockton. Cal.
| s the heroine OF wilder adventure
than any she ever read of between the
yellow covers of her favorlte books.
She is only 16 years old and is the
possessor of comely, attractive face
as well as robust physique. When
she came overland from Chicago foul
years ago she announced her determin.
alton to become cowboy, and ever
since the has fondly nursed the belief
that some day she would roam the vast
western plains on the back of q bronco
armed with six shooter and a lariat
She read all the dime novels she could
beg, buy or borrow, and what she read
seemed to intensity her desire to enter
the ranches OF western cattle punchers.
Last May she store lariat from O
neighbor, a six shooter from her broth
er and horse from her father. Thus
equipped she rode off to the mountains
in search OF stocked range, but before
she had gone far deputy sheriff over
hauled her. May threatened TO murder
the officer if he undertook to stop her
flight, and though she drew her six
bluff, she had to go homo. She has
had the fever intermittently ever since,
and only the most careful watching on
the part OF her father has prevented
her from posting off for the mountains
again. Last Friday morning however,
she eluded the paternal vigilance, pro-
cured two big revolvers, and bidding
defiance to the world, retreated to
barn which she barricaded with timber.
Her father tried to persuade her to
come out, but she threatened to shoot
him if he did not get ont of range. Mr.
Abbot summoned q number of his
neighbors and entreated them to help
him to carry Nays fortification either
by strategy or by storm. But they diu
not carry it at all, for every time q
member OF the attacking party showed
his head bullet whizzed 80 close to it
that he was glad to sneak out of range.
May took advantage of the alarm and
confusion her poor Workmanship Great
ed to escape through the rear door of
the barn and run for the shelter of some
brush not far distant. A constable from
Lodi, who saw her streaking it across
the clearing, gave chase, and after
four-hour run overlook her twenty
miles from the scene of her original
operations. The girl turned on her
pursuer like tigress when she saw
that she could not outrun him, and,
pointing her two six-shooters at his
head, threatened to blow out his brains
il he did not face about and return
home. For reply the officer raised his
own gun and fired over the girls head.
He only intended to frighten her and
he succeeded. She heard the chunks
of lead whistle past her ears and she
thought they had gone clear through
her. So she dropped her own gun and
likewise her ambition to become a
cowboy. But when she reached home
she told her father that she would not
stay there, and he had her locked up
