The Day Before Thanksgiving.
Frank S. PirLeu.

Come, draw your armchair closer wife there's
somethin' I've got to say,
But somehow it sort o. chokes me, for to-mor.
rows Thanksgvin' day;
And when think of Thanks sivin's we've had
in by-go years
And then think of tomorrow am mighty close
to tears.
the mortgage is due
It'll be foreclosed, and Thanksgivin' night will
leave no home for you.
Its darkest just before daylight, they say; l
hope it's so.
For twill be the darkest day of our lives when
you and must go.
At last I've received my sentence; I haven't
read it yet.
But it's here in this yellow envelope-the
largest he could get;
And here In the corner is printed the bankers
name you see,
So there's no mistake about it, for the letters
addressed 70 me.
I've always done the best could and worked
hard day by day,
But somehow everything I've done has never
seemed to pay.
Last year the crops were ruined and my span o.
horses died.
And this year after harvest, when the wheat
was all inside
The barn a stroke of lightning came and burned
it to the ground.
When tn insurance men at last came sort o.
creepn' round.
They were most amaZin' sorry and were very
much annUged
To find, because they'd signed it wrong, the
policy was void.
But through it all I've pegged along in just the
same old way,
And I've never given up hopin that jim would
come back some day,
For Jim was one of the likeliest boys in all the
country roun',
Till he took a notion to leave the farm and ran
away TO town.
Squire Brisket says. year ago. he heard some
fellers tell
That Jim was still in the city, and was doin'
purity well.
But he's never come back; if 'twasn't for you
helpmeet and counsellor
I'd hardly know tomorrow what l should be
thankful for.
When l see the less deservn climbin' higher
every day
While we go down, there's somethin' here will
scarcely let us pray;
But LIES a see-Saw game, at best-one's up an
Tomorrow luck Will change again and fortune
cease to frown.
Besides, I've got pair O. hands still strong
The past is gone; together. wife, wen start in
life anew;
Tomorrow we'll have Thanksgivin', for whv
should we be glum
ConSiderin' all the happy days for both of us to
come?
Now, then. wen read the letter-face the worst
it has to say
Sos to have the trouble over with before Thanks
givin' day.
And next day after Thanksgivin' we'll both pre-
pare-why, see!
They've made big mistake and sent the mort
gage back to me
Instead of notice to pay it. And here's a note
signed-"Jtm'!
1t says the mortgage is settled and to save
place for him
At the table to-morrow--Thanksgivi he's
coming home to stay.
Kneel with me- The suns a shinin'l THANKS
givin' begins today

Candidate Springer.

The whole country knows that Springer Of
Illinois is candidate for the speakership Of
the next House. He took a very early op-
portunjty aft=r the result of the recent cleo
lions was known to announce his candidacy,
and he has taken great pains to keep his
name before the public in connection with
the oiics ever since his announ cement was
made. He will not be able TO sleep soundly
until the speakership question is decided.
and be is in danger, therefore, Of losing his
b alth before the Fifty-second congress as
sembles
Springer is a ver- sincere man and, in
some respects, an able one. but he talks too
much and he lacks judgment. One is not
always sure that he is going to say the right
thing when he rises to take part IN the dis
customs in the House. and, besides, there
isn't much logic in what he says.
But be will be candtdate for speaker.
Nobody can deny him that privilege. And
he may get a few votes. He says he has
fourteen votes to start with. They are
from MS own STATE. If he can hold them to
the end of the contest ne viii have reason
to congratulate himself. He was a candi-
date for speaker some years ago. but he
didn't get fourteen votes. He got four.
The finger Of destiny IS not pointing at
Springer just now, and there are no indI-
cations that it will point in his direction.
Heis watching for it, however, and he will
continue to watch, because he is very pa
tent and tenacious man. And be is a good
democrat, too. No man il more willing to
make sacrifices than he for his party.
The speakership. however, is just a little
out of his reach. But there is no occasion
for telling him SO. 1t is more than a year

cided, and it is but fair that be should have

How 1t Was Founded.

Nine Carnnt, the wife of the president
of the French republic, frequently visits a
day nursery for poor children in the Rue
Bacon loaded with toys and fresh fruits.
The story Of the establishment of this
charitable institution is full of interest and
pathos.
Many years ago an only child, a daugh-
ter, was born to noble but poor couple,
the count and countess of Laurenceau.
The girl was beautiful and attractive and
became the pet of g large circle of uncles,
aunts and cousins, who all fell into the
habit giving her birthday gifts of money,
which was laid away to bear interest until
she should be grown and require dot.
The young girl died while still a child,
and her mother took this money, and with
it founded this asylum for the homeless
babies of Paris in memory of her lost dar-
ling. Other mothers, left childless, have
given aid to this charity with the money
which they had intended to give to memo
rial windows and costly gravestones.
The Little Bethlehem, as it is called,
thus is dedicated not only to the help of
the innocent little living children who find
a refuse in it, but to the memory of others
whose fate in life was happier, but who
were perhaps not more dearly loved

n1r. Blaine and the Rerorters.

One day when Mr. Blaine was President
Gartields chief adviser he was seated, in
company with several gentlemen who had
come together by chance. The conversa-
ton was of a social nature, and reminis-
cences prevailed. Something reminded Mr..
Blaine of an experience, which he proceeded
to relate with all the interesting details.
He had not gone far when one of his
friends left the room and sent an attendant
to call the secretary out. In the hallway
the friend said:
care you not aware that there are tive
newspaper men in that room?"
''Of course am" answered Mr.. Blaine
'Well, do you want to see this converse
ton in print?"
Nonsense" said the secretary; "they
won't print word of it, And he returned
and took up his story where it had been
interrupted. At the close of it, when he
had laid himself wide open, he simply said,
with a smile, Il needn't say that no part
of this is for publication"
Not word of it was ever printed, though
one of the correspondents was then and
still is reputed to be utterly constituencies
In such matters.
1t is also one of Mr.. Blaine's practices
never to make man promise that he will
not publish a story. He merely tells him
it is not for publication, or, as in the case
of correspondents who have enjoyed his
confidence, he takes for granted that they
will not publish any part of a private con-
versation without first receiving his ex-
pressed permission to do SO. Nor are these
condolences reserved for correspondents of
papers friendly to him. In more than one
case those who are closest to him are in tile
employ of papers which lose no opportuni-
ty to hit him a lick, and in some cases he
confdes in men who persistently write
against him and his plans. AS one of his
political friends puts it:

One evening while the audience at the

scene where Barrymore is discussing the
foibles Of women a couple of San Mateo
rustics in the front row of the dress circle
began an earnest discussion as to the mer-
it's of certain prize SOW one of them had

Despite the angry look and s-s-s-h's of
those near by the controversy waXed loud
er, until at last a gentleman sitting behind
the takers touched one of them on the
shoulder and quietly said:
Excuse me, my friend, but what will
you take for that SOW of yours?"
The granger stared for moment and
then said:
''About S., s'pose."

out his pocketbook and handing over a
greenback.
''Here is a twenty Now that sow's nine
just let her alone, if you please"
The audience snickered, and though the
countryman made a woful attempt to turn
the joke by gravely pocketing the note and
handing over the S14 change the snub was
crushing in it's effect, and in the dead 81
lence that followed the philanthropic mill
