tionsness began to reel, and his heart
talked fiuently, and little later 1t sang
in notes OF golden pink, and ruddy gold,
scarlet and green, turquoise and amethyst
with lines melting into tones, and tones
biossoming into lines, as it were, until
Mr.. Burleigh himself must have been sur
prised at his own liberation, and glad of
the new wine, whatever the vintage,
which had done this thing.
Within shorter period there has been
another change impossible to define.
What has come into Mr.. Burleigh's life
we should neither know nor ask. Some
thing has come, however, for in the work
OF the past year feel certain elevation,
a certain abandonment OF reserve, in short
a certain passion once lacking, which
raises his conception and color to the
vibration of Imagination.
lam aware that there are many who will
like his latest work less than his earlier,
and who will say that what has quickened
the pulsations of his puppies and made his
green and gold glow and simmer was the
effect OF the rising wave OF an impression
ism which touched him, but feel abso-
lutely certain that while he may have
looked studiously-as who has not?-at
the impressionists, those pulsations and
that glow are but the expression OF what
he himself has felt in new and more ar

Later, Mr.. Burleigh had been paint
ing very well for some, but In his
constant self-criticism he pointed
out to his friends that his work
was too neat, his drawing too la
bored, and his handling too tight, and his
color too thin,--in word, that his con-
scientiousness as workman was not
overcome by the vividness OF his vision
and the intensity of his emotions. Never
thesess, he painted many beautiful land
skapes, and interesting figures, and ex-
cellent portraits, besides doing a large
amount OF decorating and designing, a
few etchings, and several other things
relative TO art.
Most of these productions he did not
show voluntarily. A few found their
way TO the Art club exhibitions, few
went 10 important shows in different
parts OF the country, while some of the
finest, as might have been expected, found
a congenial home in the collection of Mr..
Isaac q. Bates, but for the most part,
believe, they were laid away in a chest of
drawers in the studio, or tied up in port
folios. They will be discovered some day.
That was up to about two or three years
ago, when some new impulse seems TO
have intoxicated Mr.. Burleigh's artist

DE mocrats Find Themselves Unnbte to
Muster a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Jan. C.-The strong arm
of the committee on rules was invoked
yesterday to break down the obstruction
in the path of the tariff debate. An iron
clad order was brought in setting out the
program for the tariff debate, and fixing
Jan. % as the day for taking the final
vote. This resulted only in sidetracking
MIR. Boutelle and his Hawaiian resolution,
as when the vote came to be taken oD the
adoption Of the order the Democrats
lacked nine votes of a quorum.
At least 20 Democrats at the Capitol
either absented themselves from the hall,
or refused 20 answer to their names when
called. For four hours the Democratic
leaders tried to bring their men into line,
but instead of gaining, they lost votes on
each successive rollcall. The Populists,
with the exception of Mr.. Bell of Col
orado,- also declined to aid the Demo
Gratis to get the tariff bill before the
house. giving rs the reason for their ac-
ton the short Unit it was proposed to set
on the debate Their votes would have
made up quorum.
The days proceedings We're therefore OF
additional importance as marking the
first time in the history of either branch
of congress since the organization of the
third party that its members have held
the balance OF power.

Sydney Richmond Burleigh.
We have been neighbors from the be-
ginning, MFR. Burleigh and /, for not long
after he was born in Little Crompton
was born in Tiverton. Then, after various
changes we came to Providence, and here
my first studio was on the same floor as
his, and my next, beneath him, and my
last, with him in that unique and mysteri-
GUS domain OF art, "The Fieur de lys in
Thomas Street."-a building misunder-
stood by the people, disliked by the per-
fcctly modern and neat, and beloved by
US who harbor there-Mr. Burleigh's
building, reflection OF his artist-nature
as II was in 1886, for to him is due the
conception and exterior adornment.
Therefore, for fifteen years have, with
few interruptions, heen face to face with
him and his work, and though very
near neighbor, have not been so intimate
with him as to lose sight OF the artist in
the friend and become incapable of dis
elimination.
Think saw his work first in 1877. My
recollection of it is, that it was painstak-
ing and somewhat dry, mostly OF mo-
tives found at Sakonet, with figures OF
young women, children, and fishermen.

Made the Dog Thankful.

When the family came home from
service on Thanksgiving morning, they
heard Ponto bowling dismally from the
attic. However could the dog have got
up there?" asked grandma as she looked
up and saw his piteous black face at
the window. 81 didn't know the attic
door had been opened this morning. -
"Oh, yes, said little Annie innocent
ly. 81 opened it. put him up there on
purpose. -
"You did, child? What for?''
"Well, you see, replied Annie, with
all the gravity given by nine years of
wisdom, 81 tried to think of some way
to make Thanksgiving day different to
him from other days. We might give
him turkey, but how would he know
sure it wasn't Christmas turkey instead?
So thought I'd shut him up in the
dark, where he hates to be, and when
he was let out he'd be thankful enough
for Thanksgiving day."
Her plan was absolutely successful.
Once down stairs, having again the run
of the house, Ponto frisked and yelped
as if he had very special cause for
thanksgiving and needed no governor s
proclamation to teach him the uses of
the day. The town could boast at least
one dog with thankful heart. -Se-

GOOD CHEER FOR THANKSGIVING.
Hints For the Housewife In Preparing the
Holiday Feast.

Hints For the Housewife In Preparing the
Holiday Feast.
The housewife whose prayer was that
some new sorts of fish and meat might
be created to tempt the appetites of her
family probably uttered that entreaty
in the spring. At this season of the
year, when the poulterer's stall is heavi-
ly laden with feathered and furry OBJ
jects, hanging Imply by their feet, there
is no lack of variety of foods. Rabbits
and squirrels are in the market, and,
although they are not used here so much
as farther south, they make delicious
dishes. .Pheasants--not real ones, but
what are SO called, though they are
actually ''ruffed grouse"-quail, par
fridge, wild duck, woodcock, reedbirds
and the like are all here to grace not
only the sportsman's table, but that of
the thrifty marketer.
Rabbits are susceptible to all sorts Of
cooking, as the Virginians know. Roast
ed, stewed with onions, fricasseed, lard
ed, fried, made into pie and best Of all
barbecued, they are delicious. Squirrels
are stewed, broiled and made into ap-
petizing ragouts. Birds are roasted,
broiled or made into pies
AS soon as birds are brought home
they should be drawn. Then they should
be rinsed with soda and water and after
ward with clean cold water. When
they have been wiped dry, a coating Of
fine salt and black pepper should be
added. Small birds may be kept in a
refrigerator. Larger ones should be
hung in cool, dark place with a cloth
thrown over them. If they are to be
kept for any length of time, a lump of
charcoal should be kept in the cavity of
each fowl to prevent decomposition.

AUNT JAMES WEDDING GIFT
TO HER NIECE ALICE.

This panel was divided in the center
and secured by sliding bolt AS she
opened it an astonishing sight met
Alice's gaze The entire drawer was di-
vided into sections like a cashiers
drawer, and each compartment was
comfortably filed with money On the
top of neat bundle of $100 bills was
card addressed to Mrs. Jack Thornton.
Dear Alice" it ran, Sin this drawer
you will find the sum of 50, S53. 43,
which is one-half the proceeds of the
chicken farm for the last five years. AS
you earned this by your work in taking
care of the chickens during the years
since you left school, you may feel that
this is justly yours Take good care of
it and of your Aunt James old bureau"

made their home for several months.
"What is the best you can do for it?''
The furniture dealer looked the relic
carefully over and slowly drew out

Six dollars is the best / can do for
that old article, Mr.. Thornton, and it
is a good price too
''It isn't enough, Mr.. Myers Alice
said. II will not sell my aunt's we'd
ding gift for less than $50"
"Good morning, ma 'am," the dealer
said, with a smile. 81 see you don't
want to sell the bureau.
When he had gone, Jack turned with
an inquiring look to his wife:
''You funny little woman, what is
the meaning of this?''
For an answer she gave him volley
of kisses, which she fired off with the
rapidity of a saluting battery with cleo
trio attachment. Then, first carefully
locking the door, she unlocked the
trove.
What looked suspiciously like tears
twinkled in his eyes as he clasped ''the
best wife in the world" in a loving en-
brace, and then as relief to his over
charged feelings he filled Brown Bess
to the brim and smoked placidly for an
hour, thinking much, but saying little.
What a Thanksgiving that was! Wer-
ner came and was astonished at the
bountiful spread. jack violin never
discoursed sweeter music, and as he
played he drew glad smiles and tears
