Jupiter's aimless and comical gyrations.
Jupiter, you have not served the

Grimm felt the perspiration start out on
the back of his neck; he was wondering
what new catastrophe was in store.
AS for Jupiter, he smiled blandly. Here
at least was something he could engi-

cient to temper the thoughts of the

Rejoice, o, we rich, that the spirit of
charity is still alive in your hearts that
ye may enjoy the pleasures of giving.
Thanksgiving day is indeed a peace
maker. In a few short hours it sweeps
away the barriers that months of pride,
selfshness and cruelty on the one
hand, and improvidence, dissipation,
neglect and want on the other, have
been building between classes. 1t is
one in the long list of holidays that
expands with age because it is one of
the few founded on religion. Secular
holidays come and go with the senti-
ments from which they sprung But
Sabbath and Christmas and Easter and
Thanksgiving are not of this number.
The history of the religion of a people
is the history that lives. Josephus'
scholarly chronicles of the Jews are
read not at all, while the Bible is in
every library and upon almost every
center table in the land. Homer is read
alike by old and young because the
machinery of Heaven is there. ''Plu-
tarch's Lives" hold as much fascination
for the readers of to-day as for the an
cient English scholars, because the
gods are in every battle, control every
triumph and bless every festival. The
human mind revels in the ideas awalS
ened by the contemplation of the
spiritual. The meager chronicles of
the American Indians would be "stale,
fat and improbable" but for the in
PRODUCTION of their religious fancies
and beliefs The Indian never takes
SO grand place in the minds eye as
when we see him in a religious frenzy
as Pope has painted him:
"Lo the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds and hears Him in the wind "
Thanksgiving day has grown far
beyond what it was originally intend
ed to signify or represent because of
this very religious quality. From Civ
ing thanks to God for gifts to them
selves men came to desire to be more
like that merciful Being, and so in
turn became benefactors. From re-
counting their individual blessings and
offering prayer and praise for their be-
stowal, it was but step to the turn
ing point of charity in themselves.
And so we may cry to all upon this day
Rejoice! for the lion and the lamb
have lain down together and the peace
of the Saviour's spirit is over all The
cry of want is heard by ears that be-
fore were deaf to the voice of pleading,
and eyes that saw not misery except it
were afar off are now dimmed with
tears of pity for those about their feet.

have a glorious meaning. 1t is the
softening influences of such seasons,
albeit all too brief, that keep intact the
under current, the real harmony of
the world, even though its surface be
always troubled by discord.

She borrowed her mothers service,
from the silver soup tureen to the nut
crackers.
This plan was readily feasible, as her
parents took dinner with an elder sis
ter upon that day. No sooner was this
arrangement completed than it seemed
very out of place to let Fanny, the col
ored maid, wait at table with such ac-
companying magnifcence-they ought
to have butler. They got one in the
person of Fanny's father, who had come
up from Manassas Junction to spend
the day with his family, and that was
where the trouble began.
He was an eminently respectable old
man, and when he had gotten himself,
after much groaning and the assist
ance of his wife, the cook, into an old
dress suit of Mr.. Grimm's, he looked as
if he knew the proper thing to do,
which. was far from the case. His wife
had been doubtful from the first. "He
kin drive a kerrige jest lovely, Miss
Maria," she said, "but he doan know
nuthin' bout waitin.'"
But Fanny can drill him." "Miss"
Maria had said, airily, as she set out to
Thanksgiving services in company with
her husband.
Fanny, dressed in new gown and
with huge white cap on her very
black head, admitted the guests with a
gravity of countenance that would
have befitted a servitor of fifty years.
Fanny had woeful misgivings. Jupiter,
her father, had not proven very apt
pupil. He asked many strange ques-
tions after he had insisted that he un-
derstood everything. The butler's
pantry was too small to hold them
both or she would have remained by
her parent during the ordeal but she
stationed herself at the foot of the
dumb waiter to admonish in stage
whispers if necessary.
Jupiter wiped the perspiration from
his brow with a red bandanna and car
