THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving stories" works of fc- tion written to display the imagination of authors or to please the fancy of their readers, are we'll enough for the pur- pose intended, but 1t seems to LIS that the present Thanksgiving season is an exceptional one and calls for some thing besides fiction calls for true story, story of real life ; a story of real life and real death such as is transpir- ing at this very moment. The actual facts are told in few words but ou1 readers can make the story of unlimited length by giving play to their imagina- tion or by vainly trying to comprehend the extremes of happiness and misery which are implied by said story al though not recounted in detail therein. Said story is also a sermon in itself, and is briefly told as follows by the New. town Bee :
 As Thanksgiving approaches, let us all take inventory ot the many things we have to be thankful for. Let us not enter upon this season with anything but thankful heart. Many of us fee that we are having pretts hard time no doubt. Are we? Let us take up 8 paper and read the latest news from Europe. Here Is Germany with long story of poverty and suffering. Thous auds destitute, suffering untold torture. from hunger. In Russia we find mat ters still worse; thousands trying tt keep life in, on diet of chopped weed. and chaff. Thousands dying because they cannot get anything to eat, fo famine has laid it's terrible grasp on tha land. Contrast that picture with oul full fed New Eenglan Contrast the empty larder of the Russian peasant ant his scantily furnished and poorly heated hut with the comforts and convenience of onr New England homes with thei cellars filled to the utmost with tn, fruits of Gods bounty, and then, dea friend, can you honestly say that yol have nothing to be thankful for Le us all join, from the greatest to tL the humblest, and thank our God in a, appropriate manner for his most boun tiful care.

DEATH OF FLOYD WYNN.

This community was surprised and saddened Sunday forenoon to learn that Floyd Vim clerk of the Warner House. had died about 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing. Floyd was taken ill on Wednesday the 11th inst. His physician, Dr Church, pronounced the disease bilious fever After four or five days the fever apparently broke or subsided for sev- eral hours but returned with renewed vigor and from that time Floyd was delirous until his death. Few were aware how i'll Floyd was and only the afternoon before his death he was re- ported "better.' His father and one of his sisters were at his bedside during the last week of his illness.
 Floyd Vim was the eldest son of MT Arthur Winn, a farmer who lives near Philmont N. Y. Floyd was IS yeals old the 18th of last May. He was the eldest of seven children. His two brothers and four sisters live at home. Floyd came to the Warner House, April 10, 1890 and by his kindness and cour- tesy. quiet and gentle ways, faithful, prompt and cheerful service he won a host of friends not only among Canaan people but among the travelling public. Floyd will be mourned by everyone who knew him, and he will be greatly miss ed at the Warner House. As an illus tration of the esteem in which Floyd was held it is only necessary to quote the remark of patron of the Warner House who said, "NIr Warner will never find another Floyd"
 At o'clock Tuesday morning num- Der of friends and acauaintances of the deceased assembled in the parlor of the Warner House where brief funeral ser vices were held. Near the casket stood broken column made of white roses, chrysanthemums and smilax surmount- ed by dove.

There were other floral tributes, all given by the people at the hotel and by other Canaan friends. Rev D. c. Stone conducted the services.

ACTOR FLORENCE DEAD.

Life.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov 20. William J. Florence died at S:20 o'clock last night in his rooms in the Continental hotel. The end was altogether unexpected. The only persons present besides Mrs. Barney Williams and Mrs. Ward were the doctor and the servant. A cable message was sent to Mrs. Florence telling her that her husband was critically ill. The friends could not tell the blunt truth that took from a most devoted wife one of the noblest and most devoted of husbands MT. Florence's death was primarily due to double pneumonia. The immediate cause was heart failure.
 William J. Florence, whose family name is Conlin, was born in Albany, July 26, 1884, He was always Billy Florence. On the play bills only was he William J. Florence From one end of the country to the other people will hear the news of his death with sense of personal loss. Everybody loved him. With him dies score of people whom he made-people whom others fash toned into human shape, but whom Billy Florence lighted with that divine spark which made them live and be. And in years to come, when tongue or fancy re- calls the comedian, the minds eye will see VAlO SddoOWy AOI IuS OA UAC A4Oh. 4OdIA"OAA Slote, Captain Cuttle and Sir Lucius O'Trigger.
 Off the stage he was an incorrigible joker, the prince of raconteurs, bon vivant | and bibliophile, the sentimen talist and gourmet, and one of the finest gentlemen | and best actors the stage has ever had. For forty-two years Billy Florence has been making people love life as he loved it. It was in 1S49 that he went upon the stage. When he was boy he was mem Der of tLe Murdock Dramatic association, of New York city. He said Hold offp' in ''Evadne'' at the Bowery theater in 1S49, l but his first real speaking part was as Peterin ''The Stranger" !" at Richmond, Va.
 Itwas Mrs. Florence who suggested ''The Mighty Dollar" which made so much money for the Florences. Ben Woolf, 8 newspaper man, was directed to write it. It was first called "The Almighty Dollar" |" The public wouldn't have it, and so it was changed to ''I'he Mighty Dollar" It was produced in 1875. The Hon. Bardwell Slote and Mrs. General Gilfory have come to be among the best known characters on the stage. MT. and Mrs. Florence played 'The Mighty Dollar" over 2,500 times.
 Four years ago MT. and Mrs. Florence gave up their joint starring tours. They went to London, where Mrs. Florence has since lived. Three years ago Florence be- came associated with Joseph Jefferson.
