THANKSGIVING STORY
How a Poor Widow Spent Her
Thanksgiving.
EXAMPLE OF GOODNESS TO THE POOR
The Landlord FayOrs His Tenants
Which Enables Them to EDjOya
Real Thanksgiving Dinner.

1t was a cold, November night
the wintry wind howled and moan
ed In piteous tones, and Mrs. Jones,
having tucked her four little ones In
bed, after having heard them say
their prayers and given them good
night kiss, drew the rlckety light
stand to the acknowledging fire,
and sat down to mend Bessie's little
ragged dress-her only one-before
proceeding to finish pair of pants,
the last Of half a dozen pairs to be
Sc mt to the shop very early In the
morning, In order that the money
due for them might purchase the
meagre Thanksgiving dinner for the
little family. True, II must be a
very poor one-a soup-bone, few
potatoes, and, the mother hoped, u
pumpkin pie, for II would not seem
like Thanksgiving without that APP
petizing dish. The poor woman, a
well.to-do farmers daughter, and
accustomed 10 the abundance OF
country life, could recall visions of
her youth, when the Thanksgiving
dinner In her fathers house consist
ed Of roast turkey, with an abund-
anee OF vegetables, plump hams, fat
shoat, golden pumpkin IN well Gs
spicy niince and apple pies.
Mrs. Jones was poor widow,
who. at her husbands death two
years before, found herself adnft In
the world with four little children TO
support, aud nothing but her will
ling hands 10 do II with. The first
thing she did was 10 sell her COW
aud move from the quiet little VII.
lage, In sight Of which she was born,
Ia the city, where she fancied work
would be- plenty, but do her best,
she found II difficult to supply even
th. necessary wants of her little
family.
There was the rent 10 pay, the
childrens' winter clothes 10 get, fuel
Ia buy, aud the bottom ~ the -four

pork barrel had been empty n week.

Thanksgiving eve, tried 10 be thank

A GIFT TO PARIS.
Bartholdi's Statue of Washington
and Lafayette.

Paris Special TO Philadelphia Press
The unexpected result Of call to-day
at BarthOldi'S studio has been the dis
cOvery that Joseph Pulitzer, of the New
York World, is about to present to Paris
fine piece Of statuary. The donor has
kept his purpose quiet, but to-day the
great sculptor talked freely about this
monument, which he is to execute at
price OF $4,000, or, to be more accurate,
$50. COO francs.
Bartholdi's studio in the Rue Navin
is large, high room in which are many
clay models that the sculptor is ut work
upon. There" said Bartholdi, point
ing to clay group not more than twelve
inches high, ''iS tie first model | made
for the statue of Washington and Laf;l-
yette, which, when copied in bronze,
will be mammoth monument, and will
be presented to the people of Paris by
one OF your great Americans. 1t is i'll
tended as a cOmmemoration of a French
mans aid to America in her struggle
for independence. This donor is gen
erOus, noble mao, and lover of liberty.
1t was he who helped me so much in
guiding the American people when my
Liberty was sent to your country. And
now he is to bring the two countries
this statue to France. [ have been at
work on this and the larger models for
many weekS.'
From these models it appears that the
base of the monument will be an irregu-
lar surface. as if to represent natural
ground. Washington stands at the left
side, turning partly to his right so that
he looks into the eyes OF Lafayette,
whose position, of course, is the reverse
of that of his companion. I.afayette's
right arm is extended and his hand
graSpS Washington'S left. Washing
tons right hand graSps standard set
in the background, from which fall the
cOlorS of the United States. This stand
ard inclines from him and crosses a
staff in Lafayette'S left hand which
bears the French cOlors. In the last
mOdel-and there are several of this
grOup-as was the case in the study of
Liberty-the work is in white plaster.
and the expressions of the faces are
clearly and delicately defined. WASH
ingtOn'S features denote his gravity and
moral strength, and though no trace of
smile is apparent they are a triiie re-
Taxed as if he were glancing with tender
appreciation at his young colleague.
Both figures are in full military cos
tune. The sword of the commander is
at the side of each, and the tips touch
the ground,

the demand comes from men, women
and children. Gold, silver and plati'
nun enter into the single and double
bands, and the purest gems are selected
tor the precious jewels buried in the

love for snakes become that they pass
between lovers as betrothai rings, and
are put on the fingers of newly made
Christians.
