Kindness; no one in sorrow, doubt or

charities in the way Of alms-giving
are without number, and yet he never
gives without investigating the case
brought to his attention with all the
care he Is capable of. DIR. Parkhurst

him an impression of refinement, of

Parkhurst Is intensely interesting
He is conspicuous instance of what
one man can accomplish, even with
great odds against him. He shows

about twelve years ago that DR.. Park
hurst was called TO the pastorate of
the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, one OF the wealthy aud aris-
tocratic churches of New York City.
For years he preached there his schol-
arly, quiet, unimpressiye sermons,
made his parochial visits to his rich
parishioners, lived his life of grace
full ease and luxury, and employed
himself In study, pleasant work and
recreation. Suddenly he discovered

The main deck and the cabins of a
large steamer were washed ashore three
miles south of Fish Point Saturday. j..
Trudell, a fisherman, says that 400 cedar
ties and a lot of timber came ashore with
the wreckage. The reports indicate that
some steamer has gone down with all
hands on Lake Huron. The movements
of vessels have been so interrupted by
the continual gales which have prevailed
from all points of the compass this week
that il Is as yet impossible to determine
what craft are missing. If there had been
any survivors from the disaster they
would have undoubtedly reached a tele-
graph Office before this. The lost steam
er may have been one of the large fleet
which left East Tawas Friday, bound up
Lake Huron. Soon after the fleet had
left the harbor of refuge terrible north
er set in, accompanied by snow squalls,
which ragged all night. From the large
size of the decks and other wreckage,
the lost steamer is believed to have been
a big boat, one carrying from fifteen to
eighteen men.

Detroit Boy Burglar. Outwitted.

At the examination of Henry Vain, an
18-year-old boy, in the Detroit Police
Court, on a charge of larceny, Detec-
tives High and Larkins told the story of
a gang of boy robbers whose nest is To-
Gated in one of the good resident parts
of the city. From one of the boy mem
bers of the gang the detectives secured
the password, and swooped down on the
boys. They found dozen of them seat
ed around a table devouring roast chick
en-. The walls of the apartment, which
was located in barn, were decorated
with guns, swords, revolvers and other
stolen booty. The boys ranged in age
from IL to 10 years. They started to
eject the detectives, but found the task
too great and were taken into custody
themselves. A large amount of stolen ar
ticles was found hidden about the barn.

AntedGtes the Pilgrims.

IL is sometimes claimed that Thanksgiving
day is exclusively an American institution,
all of which is not wholly true. Long be-
fore the Pilgrim Fathers braved the storms
Of the Atlantic in the memorable year 1920,
the land from which they came had made
much Of the ingathering Of the harvest
The Harvest Home celebrations Of Merle
England were occasions no. TO be despi.ed.
The churches were crowded with worship
pers, the finest specimens OF the produce Of
the fields were beaped about the altar and
the day began by the recognition Of the Di-
vine goodness that had made the land 10
bring forth abundantly, that bad clothed
the hills with focks and made the valleys
smile with golden corn. Then came the
feastiDgs and the merymaking, the music
and the dancing All the land was glad and
grateful. The spirit of the Harvest Home
was in the fathers and founders Of this great
republic They believed with n belief that
was strong enough to inspire their motives
and govern all their life They wrote his
name in broad. bold characters on Plymouth
Rock, and laid the foundations Of this great
empire in the tear and faith Of Him. Out
Of all this sprung our national institution
Of Thanksgiving day, the form Of which
changes with other changing elements, but
the spirit Of which we may well hope will
never die-Sqtorday Herald

GEN. JUBAL A. EARLY.
Senator Daniels address on HIS TIaIIey
Campaign.

RIcHMoND, VA, Dec 13-Tbis after
noon the annual gathering Of the Society
Of the Army of Northern Virginia was
held here in the Richmond Theatre, and
Senator John w. Daniel, the orator Of
the occasion, delivered Il lengthy address
on "The Valley Campaign of Gen. Jubal
A. Early" Besides the members of the
society the Howitzer Association and Bat
terry and the Richmond Light Infantry
Blues were present. Hon. George L.
Christian presided. Sentor Daniel was
the intimate personal friend Of General
Early. The statements and criticisms
made by the orator and the subordinate
places he ascribes to such Confederate
idols as Joseph L. Johnston, Albert Sid
ney Johnston and Beauregard will proba
bly, arouse a storm Of comment through
out the South. Senator Daniels estimate
Of England's popular military idosand the
inferior rank he gives them beside Early
was another notable feature of his oration.
Senator Daniel spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"By your invitation, which ! could not
regard as less than a command, l am here
to speak to you of Lieut. Gen. Jubal An
derson Early, one Of the great soldiers Of
history-second to none that ever lived
in yalor and devotion, second to but few
in military ability, and second only to
Lee and jackson among the chieftains Of
the war for Southern independence. Let
me lay before you to begin with some Of
his most important and distinguished ser.
vices. He wasa graduate Of West Point,
a veteran of three wars, and he look part
in the civil war in well-nigh fifty battles
aud skirmishes. | doubt if there was an
officer or soldier in the Army Of Northern
Virginia who in the open field was often
er under fire. He was the right-hand
man of Jackson in his corps and the
right-hand man Of Lee after Jackson had
fallen, and he enjoyed the abiding conf
dence of boih. He was successively a
colonel, brigadier-general, major-gen-
eral and lieutenantgeneral, each pro-
motion coming to him unsolicited and un-
sought, and he commanded with equal
ability a regiment, brigade, a division,
a corps and an army"
After giving an exhaustive history Of
the Valley campaign Of Gen. Jubal A.
Early Major Daniel said in regard to the
criticisms that had been made upon Ear
ly;
"To say that Early bad faults Is to say
that he was human, and, as Marshal Tu-
reDne reminds Us, 'to say that he made
mistakes Is to say that be made war
But even to this day it is difficult to take
thi: problem and its resources and say
where or when he might have better
brought in conjunction-the one solves the
other. To figure on his case at any time
was to demonstrate failure, and 50 many
heroic virtues postponed that failure and
glorised it that l leave it for other. tc
search for the mistake, and faults. Fol
my part am too much filled with honor
tor the man and the deed to look for Of
to exploit them, and most Of the criticisms
upon him are easily answered"
Speaking Of General Lees faith il
