then thanked his wife's uncle for this
magnificent gift with tears in his eyes
When Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes returned
from their wedding journey. they
found the mahogany bed already estab-
hshed in their fat. They knew it was
there because they were unable TO open
the parlor door. The bed was inside,
and there was an alley a foot wide all
the way around it, between it and
the wall This may seem improba-
BILE to person who does not know
much about New York fats of the
forty-donar-a-month grede; but the
sophisticated will only wonder that
the bed got in there at all / am told
that the men who set it up had to climb
out of a window afterwards. but
think this Is an exaggeraticn because
the tall, carved head board entirely COW
cred the two windows, and thus cast
gloom over the otherwise happy home.
They found the furniture which had
previously been in the parlor, divided
between two bedrooms and completely
filling them.
Housekeeping under these circum-
stances was not what this young
woman had been led to expect. In
twenty-four hours she had demanded
a larger fat. Mr.. Barnes went fat
hunting. The adventures of the Wan

room big enough to hold the ma
hogany beds.ead. He tells me that
this piece Of furniture was so big that
he could hardly carry a memorandum
of its dimensions in his largest overcoat
pocket.
Anybody who has ever undertaken
a similar task will know that nothing
can lie SO shamefully as a foot rule
Jack found fiat at last which would
accommodate that bedstead. He 0ll-
culated that it would just cover the
floor of the bedroom, and that, by re-
moving door between this room and
the next, it would be possible to retire
to rest by climbing over the hand
somely carved footboard. The rent of
this fiat was sixty dollars. 1t would
be impossible to secure a larger bed
room under seventy-five dollars, and
the young couple decided that they
would try the experiment.
1t was the man who carried the
lower end of the headboard of the bed
up the stairs in the newly selected
apartment house that told me the
iae-ton story. He was found in
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-11-28

faint. under the mass of carved lum-
Der, and they had to lift it off of him
with a derrick.
And when the pieces of the bed were
got into that fat they couldn't be set
up in the bedroom. l think Jack
wife has never had good opinion OF
his intelligence since then. He had
paid his rent in advance and they had
to keep the fiat for month. During
that time they slept in the dining
room, and the magnificent silver ware
was exhibited in an apartment du bious-
~ connected with daylight by means
OF an air shaft.
The next fat cost Jack seventy-five
dollars, and the pieces Of the bedstead
lay in the hall two weeks before an
engineer could be found to put them
together. During that time. Jack tells
me that he had one ray of hope. 1t
shone upon him from the dark lantern
of burglar whom he met in the hall
when he came home one night. He
fell upon his knees, so he says, and
begged the burglar to come up and
steal that bed. The burglar came up
and looked at it; and then he shook
his head and walked slowly away,
deaf to Jack representa- tons that the
thing was worth more than a thousand
dollars.
By slow degrees that bed-which the
young couple had received with such
gratitude-torcedt their rent up to nine
ty dollars a month. and brought Jack
to a point where he was frequently
obliged 10 borrow car fare of his wife.
For myself, / have always regarded
that as the deepest subcellar of humilia-
ton. Fate rescued him just IN the nick
Of time. He found landlord who was
willing to knock down partitions.
They are now living in a fifty-dollar
fat which is nearly all bedroom. and
though the parlor is so small that Mrs
Barnes pug dog cannot turn around In
il without putting his tail against the
wall. she will thank Providence next
Thursday for guiding her and the ma
hogany bedstead to this haven Need
| say more to prove how little we know
about what is going 10 be good for US?
Moreover, the uncle who gave them
the bedstead died last February, and
Jack has the pleasure Of visiting his
grave twice a week. He tells me that
even in very bad weather he cannot
forego the joy Of looking at it.

Jerry. managing editor of the ele-
vator department of the New York
Tribune, told me that a pretty type
writer girl had recently asked him
whether Thanksgiving day would be a
legal holiday this year if Yale and
Princeton didn't play football l be-
iieve this story because l know that
the girls always ask Jerry when they
want to find out anything. 1t is easier
and much pleasanter for them to ride
up and down once in his car than to
consult an encyclopedia. He answered
the typewriter girl with his customary
judicial accuracy, that the holiday
would probably be much more legal on
that account. especially in the matter
of excise violations on the previous
night. He admitted, however, to me,
privately, that this fact could have lit
tie interest for a blonde young lady who
desired only a chance to carry a blue
flag and have brother in Yale, for one
day in the year.

there will be as much genuine Thanks

How early Fashion declared herself
this season. Here it is only 8 week
after the horse show. and every body
knows what the winter styles are ike
" to be. The event which is supposed
to usher in the seasons styles was be-
hlndhand, for some reason, this year,
for somehow there were no surprises in
the way of cdstuming TO be found at
Il. We were all prepared for Paquin
skirts and jet bodices and velvet sleeves
and pearl trimmings and real laces-
We knew just how they would be dis
posed in the costume, just where the
fur band ought to go, just how the
puts should droop, and the exact cut
of the revere. So no one enioved the
great show quite so much as usual.
Truth to tell, all this magni6cence is
telling upon us. We have reached the
limit OF admiration; and epithets and
exclamations grow so wearisome. 1t is
tiresome to be in a constantly ecstatic
state over the beauty OF gown or a
bonnet Even the shop windows are
OVERRIDING their displays. 1t is con-
slant panorama of magnificence, so
constant that one is satiated with it
all, and becomes indifferent to all of il.

the reign of simplicity be ushered in?

Thank heaven! some of us have more

than that. 1t is the gown that a wom-

she gets into it, she is no longer the

only an unobtrusive, attractive female,
resting in her pretty sitting room,
with those graceful folds lying all
about her. and with a calm and sweet
content in her face. When you see her

general opinion that an important class
of New York citizens will be the re-
verse of thankful But this is an error.
| My conversations with Tammany men
have convinced me that they are all
thanking their stars that they made
all the hay they could in other peo-
pies pastures while the sun shone and
the public was looking the other way.
Speaking Of stealing. there will some-
times steal into our hearts feeling Of
sympathy for the political boss when
he has been turned down." whereas
we should rather rejoice with him be-
cause, having made a fortune in five
years by the exercise of abilities worth
one dollar a day in any legitimate
business, he is at last enabled to retire
into restful obscurity where not even
the grand jury is likely to find and
disturb him AS for the remainder Of
our citizens, the reasons for fervent
thanksgiving are too obvious to need
mention.
Passing from public to private inter
ests, we reach field where the phil
osopher can disport himself 1t seems
70 me that the best lesson Of general
and compulsory thanksgiving should
be that after all we never know what
is good for us and what isn't, and so 1t
is, better to take chances and be thank
full anyway. 1t was in this spirit that
the day was observed in early New
England times when they had three
sermons and only one dinner, in order
TO inculcate the lesson that man should
be thankful even with the odds three
