Just as the car was starting black dog
with immense whiskers, which stuck out like
an Elizabethian ruffie around his head,
jumped on the platform unlimited and
slipped under the seat. The dog was mon
grel, apparently, and a waif of the streets
The only person who took an interest in the
animals movements was the conductor. Re
spectfully and firmly the conductor asked the
canine intruder to come out. The dog didn't
show any disrespect particularly unless it
was involved in his persistent refusal to
leave his refuge under the seat.
When the conductor went to the forward
end of the car and clapped his hands and
cried: "Sh-sh-get outr" the dog calmly
ran down to the other end of the car, care
fully keeping under the seat all the way.
The process was repeated without change,
with the positions Of dog and conductor re-
versed-tbat is, the conductor stood at the
entrance of the car and the dog ran up to the
forward end
After u session of this sort fer about ten
minutes the conductor quit, although the dog
showed no signs of fatigue. 1t was very
amusing to watch the dog, whenever any one
got out and left him exposed to view, fly into
ambush again behind the neither limbs Of
some other passenger.
The dog rode to the terminus of the line.

A clergyman in a rural parish was re

ster turkey, one of the kind that hang at
the door of the markets Thanksgiving

serenely." At last one day that minister's
young boy manifested prodigious ap-

alarmed and asked him what he was eat

turkey he answered:

argument is sound. But am fully per
suaded that if pressed to do so, | could
not give good, sound reasons for my be-
lief, and confess that | often violate my
creed. The fact is, that in the discussion
of great fundamental ideas like those of
religion OF sociology, | find them to be
like creek il the mountains. Follow the
creek up and you will find inuumerable
brooks babbling into it from innumerabe
hollows between the hills. Each brook is
filled with the sparkling product of Gods
distillerv, each rivulet adds something to
the volume Of water in the creek flowing
onward to these But Ihave not the time
nor the genius to explore all thes treams
of thought TO their source, and so l 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
sometimes-very often, in fact find my
self violating the conclusions of cold
ethics and giving money to beggar.
This much before tell my story.

The incident here recorded occurred on
a Thanksgiving Day not many years ago.
Twas q cold November day in Battery
park, New York. The sun shone feebly
from behind bank Of clouds. yet the
air was keen and bracing. 1t brought
color To the cheeks and brightness to the
eyes of some twenty idlers seated upon
the benches. Most Of the persons in the
park were apparently of foreign extrae-
ton. A little Frencnman, wrapped in a
cloak and who took frequent piuches of
snuff, formed a striking contrast to
brewny longshoremau in a blue blouse
and overalls, Another picturesque group
was formed Of a Bulgarian mother with
her three children aliens who looked upon
the evidences of a new civilization with
fear and distrust. The rest Of the occu-
pants Of the park were bits Of fotsam
and jetsam Of humanity common in every
large seaport town. The day Of Thanks
giving was unknown To them. For the
most part they were drinking of the lees
of life and had nothing to be thankful for
except the material fact Of cheerless ex-
isteuCe.
While watching this drift from alien
shores and wondering vaguely what were
the actual conditions surrounding these
heroes NY attention was drawn to the
stumbling figure of man coming up one
Of the aisles Of the park. The sun came
ont for minute and made him distinctly
visible in al his abjectness. For he was
the most wretched looking man had ever
seen. His derby hat was brimless, his
once blue blouse had lost all of its orig

sionary work, as foreign worker, secretary
of the Missionary society OF his church, and
latterly bishop. Most of this time has been
spent away from his family, but all his chill
dren have been given the advantage Of a
college education. Sam" began his news
paper career as news editor on The Dayton
Journal in 1876. He went to Columbus early
in 1873, and took position as reporter on
The State Journal, and since that time, with
the exception of about three years as CORE
spondent for Cincinnati papers, he has been
connected with The State Journal, serving
in all its editorial departments, and succeed
ing Gen B. K. Cowen as managing editor in
1884. He is graceful, logical writer, a
broad, liberal thinker, and a man of phenom-
email activities in the collection of news
1t is probable that in the latter field he has
few equals in the profession. Upon assuming
editorial charge of The State Journal, he i'm
mediately set about to perfect the news SER
vice, developing the plans and purposes of
the management, which was to make "a dis
tinctive Ohio paper" in addition to its general
news service. Located at the capital and at
the geographical center OF the state, with
fourteen lines Of railroad diverging in every
direction, with the prestige Of being estab-
lished III 1911, and always the central organ
of the Republican party, the field of The
State Journal was most opportune for the
activity of Mr.. Flickingers peculiar genius.
Results being always the best proof of
theories, it will be sufficient to say that since
1854 the paper has been twice enlarged, the
last time TO standard size quarto and has
increased steadily in its influence and circula-
ton at home and abroad. 1t is safe to say
that no man in the state knows Chic politics
and politicians on both sides more intimately
than Nj. Pickering. He is the very persona
fcation of the ''hale fellow well met and
win go to almost any length of personal in
convenience to serve his friends. Naturally
the latter are very numerous, without regard
to party affiliations, though he himself is an
ardent Republican Under bis direction the
editorial utteranceso of The State Journal have
always been fair and inclined to conserva-
tism, though never compromising its rigid
Republicanism; the idea being that no per
sonal partisanship should mar its usefulness
as the organ of the whole party. In personal
appearance Mr.. F1ickinger is rather under
the standard" size, has a strong face, and is
quick and rapid in his movements He is
bachelor and gives but little attention to
social life, having apparently merged every
other ambition in bis journalistic impulses

up to the counter Just before no retired, and
said: "PleaSe send some cracked ice and hot

ing near looked at him with amazement and
wonderment, thinking, no doubt, that it was
only foolish whim of an eccentric Yankee
from tine Hub. But, in truth, the call was
evidence of the Boston mans knowledge of
how to prevent sickness during this torrid
weather common cause of cholera NOR

water for the reason that all the germs are
destroyed by the heating. Instead of putting
the cracked ice in the water he placed it
around the vessel containing the water, and
thus had cold water to drink, without the
germs from the ice again making the water
impure.-Hotel Clerk in Globe-Democrat.
