Mrs. Calliper Tells the Colonel About n
Interesting Incident.

Jason" said Mrs. Calliper to her
husband as they sat at dinner, when
l was coming back from Cometville
the other day, after my visit to Mrs.
Gratebar. the train boy went through
the cars as usual with papers, maya
zines and candy, and when he was
making the trip with the candy he
threw a package in the lap of a little
girl who was sitting with her mother.
They were nice-looking people, but it
seemed to me somehow as though they
were very poor; imagined that she
was widow and that she had to look
out now for every penny. Well, the
little girl picked up the candy package
and looked at it all over and read what
it said on it, and finally she said to her
mother:
Mamma, can't have this candy"
And her mother said, softly:
mo, dearie. l wish you could, but
mamma can't spare the money
The little girl didn't say word
more. She just held the package and
kept it ready to hand to the train boy
when he should come along. 1t was
plain that merely TO hold it was a
pleasure.
Sitting in the next seat back of the
mother and her child was a woman
who couldn't help hearing what had
been said. She had Of course kept
quiet, but when she saw the little girl
sitting there holding the candy She
couldn't keep still any longer, and she
leaned forward and said:
MADAM. | don't wish to intrude,
but it would afford me great pleasure
if You would permit me to buy the
candy for the little girl.
"Uf course this was an intrusion,
Jason, but the mother couldn't fail to
realize from the woman's voice and
manner the spirit in which the offer
was made, ana | am glad to say that
she accepted it with smile and a

girl looked up, smiling, and said. so

A FRUITFUL INQUIRY.
How Mrs. Cleveland Won the Old Lady's
Heart.

An amusing little incident occurred
last autumn illustrative of the heroine
worship Mrs. Grover Cleveland is ia
nous for inspiring even among MEM
bers of her own sex, says Vogue. Some
time previous to the election a large
and semi-public reception was ten
dered the preSident-elect. His attract
i've wife was also present, with the
bright smile and hearty hand-grasp
that never fail to accomplish their per-
feet work. She had greeted hundreds
of guests, when some one observed
among those waiting recognition a
little old country woman whose ex-
preston was one of suppressed excite
ment. The rural visitor had evidently
no acquaintance in the group where
she stood. But she chatted in a COLO
quail fashion to those near her. and
every now and then raised herself on
tip-toe to catch a glimpse of Mrs.
Cleveland, only to sink back on her
heels each time with the exclamation:
"Ain't she lovely?" Finally her turn
for presentation came. She was pushed
forward, and as one of the reception
com mittee murmured Mrs. So-and-

the old lady, in tremulous tones adj

The first thanksgiving service hclS
in North America was observed by re-

Newfoundland. The reverend gentle
man accompanied the expedition under
Frobisher, to whom belongs the honor
of bringing the first English colony to
settle on these shores. This was per-
haps the first Christian sermon

the Holy Communion in North
America

giving. Their charter was unrolled
and read before all the people, after
which a sermon was preached by
Rev. Richard Seymour. This was thr-
teen years before the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth and three
