Irving Wright of this city gave an account of
the affair from his position on board the
Wakefield as a passenger. He did not think
that race was in progress or that there was
any danger. He said that be was interested in

and to go across the Wakefield's bow. This lat
ter move was repeated. and then the captain
stopped the boat: The Randall then crossed
her bow. The Wakefield stopped to avoid a col.
lision. The witness admitted that If the boats

damage. He SAID the Randall was forcing 10
errors the bow of the Wakefield. Neither YES.

why We Should BE Thankful.

What world it is in which, when the
great festival of Thanksgiving comes on
its yearly round, there is always something
to be found to be thankful for, even, it
would seem, in the case of the most
wretchedl
Are we poor? We might be beggars Are
we beggars? We might be lepers, Are we
lepers? Our sickness might be unto death.
Is it unto death? We have yet heaven
beyond. For all let us give thanks-thanks
surely if we are in health of body and mind,
and even in illness there is much reason
and occasion to be found for a grateful
heart. Has trouble come to us now? 1t
might be worse. Are we aloneY There is
poorer company than ourselves to be had
Have we lost our dearest and best? They,
at any rate, are not here to suffer. Has
the year dealt crushing blows in business?
1t has not taken away also our power and
will to work. Have we work? Then for
that and the rest we give thanks again.
Give thanks that we live and breathe and
have our being in this world of wonder and
light and beauty, for poor and sick and sad
though we may be, though
Other hands may grasp the field and forest,
Proud propretors in pomp may shine,
But with fervent love if thou adorest,
Thou art wealthier all the world is thinel

Look abroad and see this great country.
For these many years whose hand has
turned back from our land the violence of
plaques which have swept with their train
of terrors through other countres2 Who
has grown in our fields harvests richer than
Sicilian or Russian grainfeldsy Who hath
raised up our national enterprise to beat
back wilderness and plant town after town,
till every gleam of the wave on the lakes is
answered by the CLEAN of city towers and
the roar of the ocean at one side of the har-
Dor has been answered by the din of a great
metropolis at the otherP
Something higher than the American
plow cultivated the harvests. Something
sharper than the American ak hewed down
the forests. Something heavier than the
American hammer built the cities. He
who walked Gennesareth hath traversed
our lakes. He who helped Simon Peter
with his net hath blessed our fisheries He
who plucked golden ears Of corn, rubbing
them in his hands, hath helped gather our
harvests. He who tarried at Bethany hath
set all around about us the villages. Not a
ships keel but he helped to launch it; not
a wheels tire but he helped to forge il, or
a bouquets blossom but he helped grow it,
or "A robins wing but he tinged it.
II as you sit at your sumptuous repasts
one be absent from you and absent from
earth whose voice was most gleesome last
Thanksgiving, do not let your grief over
power your gratitude but after all are
seated at the table and merry voices are
hushed bow your heads fora blessing and
say:
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord,
For he is good,
For his mercy enduretl forever

The good old Puritan November feast day
is the elder brother of the Fourth of July.
By all the laws of primogeniture and the
Scriptural right of the first born it is en-
titled to the warmest spot in the American
heart
There is homely poetry about Thanks
giving day of which Americans should be
especially proud 1t is itself poem of re-
ligious worship and Of home worship com
bined. Its typical characteristic in both is
the element of simplicity. To give thanks
for the years blessings and to renew the
ties of kinship and home life constitute the
whole observance Of Thanksgiving day
This is republican simplicity personified
The family is the foundation Of the state,
and faith in God is the protection of the
family.
Thanksgiving day belongs to the United
States and territories. 1t is their chorus of
Thanksgiving praise that sweetens the
worlds atmosphere with freedom in every
sturdy note.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

The following experience Of those who in
Greece tried TO have "a real old fashioned
New England Thanksgiving dinner" is
very cleverly told in The Christian Union:
1--WE sit and wait. Surely the tur ey is
not done We have come too soon. Sudden
ly there is a choppiug sound from the mys-
terious screen that hides the secret duings
of cook and carver. What if they are
cutting it upp cried one. oh, | feel as
though a friend were being guillotined,'
cries another. The suspense is unbeara-

third We ordered whole bird, and of
course it will come utters the calm digni-
ty at the head of thGSable The chopping
sound ceases. There is another ominous
pause, and then the footsteps Of the waiter
is heard. i avert my head, says the poet.
I have not the courage to look.
"The rest do look as the smiling waiter
draws near and places before the aston
ished dignity who presides a platter in
which rests the mutilated remains of a
nicely Drowned creature, calmly Ueposing
on chopped lettuce and olive oill What
had been the original form of the animal
only a zoologist could have determined
The cruel Cleaver had severed it into 10 or
20 pieces of equal size, regardless of bone
or muscle. Even the dignity at the head
of the table was startled. Well we have
seen a good many restorations, but think
that is beyond the power of the restora-
tionist,' he mutters. So the sentiment of
carving the Thanksgiving turkey vanished
into thin air. The whole turkey was
there, but, alas! they had not understood
that we wanted the turkey whole"

The biggest and best turkeys IN the world
are raised in southern Rhode Island and
eastern Conuecucut particularly i'm North
Stouington. In this region were developed
the splendid bronze" turkeys, which have
a peculiar luscious game flavor and some
times weigh 40 pounds. The medium sized
ones are adludged TO be the best. Their
flesh is tenderer and the flavor more
piquant Sometimes the presidents bird
Is procured in North Stoniugton and some
times in Westerly. 1t is always the choic-

The sky is cloudy, dun and gray,
And in the groves the trees are bare.
All save the red oak trees, and they
Still their bright colored foliage wear.
The rivers frozen out from shore
Full half its width. and anchor ice
Still crowds along with grind and roar;
Smooth spots, the boys with skates entice.
We hear on prairie roads the sound
OF wagons rolling miles away,
Shrill creakng DER the frozen ground,
Mingled with shouts of boys al play.
Outside the haTuyard in the lane
Are wagons new, with high spring seat;
Strong, like their owners, stanch and plain,
And covered buggies trim and neat.
The colts that, turned into the yard,
Around the straw stacks run and race
Reach their head DER the gate that's barred
Or to the quiet cows give chase.
The young folks skate upon the pond,
Or round n blazing fire play;
A chime Of churChbells far beyond
Proclaim I is Thanksgiving day.
