Great Strength.

speclal Washington Letter.

Senator Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio, is
one of the ablcst men in public life to-
day. 1t is true, he is accused of being
ii very rich man, but his oldest friends
know that he has right to be rich, for
he accumulated his own fortune. He
was very poor boy, very homely and
without any indications of genius that
anybody could see. He was jolly and
good-natured, even if he was poor; so
he made friends and worked his way
along until he secured good educa-
ton. He is eminently n self-made man,
and his history is worthy of emulation
by any young man in the land. He is
just so years of age, but he looks much
younger. His bushy hair is dark
brown and his thick beard is almost red.
He looks somewhat like a Hebrew, but
is of straight Anglo-Saxon stock. His
father was Presbyterian minister, and

THANKSGIVING.

That fields have yielded ample store
OF fruit and wheat and corn,
That nights of restful blessedness
Have followed each new morn;
That flowers have blossomed by the
paths
That thread our working days,
That love has filled us with delight,
We offer heartfelt praise.
What shall we say of sorrows hours,
OF hunger and denial,
Of tears, and loneliness. and loss,
OF long and bitter trial?
Oh, in the darkness have not we
Seen new, resplendent stars?
Have we not learned some song of faith
Within Nur prison bars?
Not only for the earth's rich gifts.
Strewn thick along our way,
Her looks of constant loveliness,
We thank our God to-day;
But for the spirits subtle growth,
The higher, better part,
The treasures gathered in the soul
The harvest of the heart.
Mary F. Butts, in Youths Companion.

of service will expire March 4, 1897, but
he will probably be reelected to succeed
himself for a full term of six years.
Senator Perkins is one of the most un-
pretentious men have ever met with
in public life. He has no coldness or
diffidence in private conversations; but
on the contrary is as entertaining as
any man in private life could be, and in
his presence no one can feel embar-
rassed because of his high position. AS
II matter of fact, the poor boys who have
made their own fortunes and becoRe
prominent never assume the 'airs" that
are put on by some who are born rich.
Senator Perkins is an orator of great
ability and when he addresses the senate
receives the respectful attention of a
large audience.
Senator David Bennett Hill, of New
York, is man worthy of his great rep
utation. When only 21 years old he
was admitted to the bar, began the
practice of law, and was appointed city
attorney of Elmira. He has been in
public life, almost constantly, and has
acquitted himself creditably on all oc-
casions. When he was first elected to
the senate, his critics said that he would
sink out OF sight in that august assem-
blage. He did not sink. He is not a
sinker. He quietly attended to his SEN
atorial duties until the silver fight of
lsD3, when he participated in debate
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1895-11-23

and gave utterance to strong opinions.
When the tariff debate Of 1894 occupied
the attention of the senate, he spoke a
number of times, and then received rec
ognition for his true worth. He had
been called nothing but Politician"
but then he showed himself to be con-
stitutional lawyer and statesman equal
to the best men who had ever held posi-
tions Npon the senate floor. He refused
to vote for tariff bill which included
the income tax clause, and concluded
his speech by saying: Sink or swim,
survive or perish, l cannot and will not
vote for this bill" He was the only
democrat who voted against the meas
ure. Since that time the supreme court
has sustained Senator Hill, by declaring
the income tax unconstitutional. He
is great man, but like many other
great men is not appreciated for his
real worth by his own generation. We
do not always elect our greatest men to
the presidential office. Blaine, Thur
man, Clay, Webster and others of like
renown could not reach the white house.
No greater men of their generations
achieved the honor. So it seems will
be the case with the great senator from
New York, who has aspired to the high
est honor in the gift of the people. His
party, as n whole, does not seem to have
appreciated him at his true worth.
Senator Orville II. Platt, of Connec-
ticut, has been senator for is years,
| and will probably be elected to succeed
| himself for fourth term. The sem
sible people of the New England states
and of the southern states are
accustomed to retaining their good
men in public life until they become
strong and influential in national af-
fairs. But the people of the middle
states and of the western states have
not all of them yet learned the
value of experience in public affairs,
and they change their public servants
all too often. Senator Platt was for
many years chairman of the commit
tee on territories. 1t was during his
chairmanship that the states of Mon
| tana, North Dakota, South Dakota,
| Washington, Idaho and Wyoming were
admitted to the union. He has served
his state and the nation with distinc-
ton, and his labors have been diligent,
continuous and painstalling. He is a
member of the important and eXacting
committees on the judiciary, patents,
Indian affairs and revision of the laws.
1t takes time, strength and superior
ability to fulfill the functions of mem
bership of those committees of the SEN
ate. He is modest, quiet, unpreten-
tious senator, but his standing in the
senate is of an enviable character. He
is forceful public speaker, and his

Held ana hill,
The singing children of the woods have
The hermit thrush's golden chime Is still,
The happy haunters of the grass are dead;
The world is hushed with numb Novem-
ber's chill
But in the spacious farmhouse, 10! the
glare
OF the hospitable hearth, and on the
board
The rich abundance of Thanksgiving fare,
The year-long savings of the housewives
hoard,
A harvest-home. though all the fields are
bare.
Here sits the graybeard sire. and at his
side
The youngest of his line. a prattling
child;
And there the husband by the new-madc
bride
And next the low-browed lily maiden
mild,
The soldier son, stern-featured, eagle-eyed.
From far they come by many parted ways
To meet once more beneath the ancient
roof,
Dear ever with the love of childhood days:
And here again life's severed warp and
woof
Are Joined, and times swift wing a mo-
ment stays.
And memory makes the old man young
again,
He tells the oft-told tale, the outworn
Jest.
Outdoor the snow falls fast on hill and
plain,
The distant church-clock tolls the hour
of rest,
And thanks are offered Heaven - not in
vain.

OIL Springs In tho Gulf.

Ten miles off shore, almost directly
south of the spot where the Saline river
empties into the Gulf of Mexico, there
is curious, calm tract of water known
to the sailors as the Oil Ponds. No
visible boundary separates these
"ponds" from the remainder of the
gulf, but ship captains have long since
learned that it is safe spot for vessel
during storm. The only explanation
ls that these "oil ponds" are caused by
petroleum springs which open in the
bottom of the gulf.

Choice Collection of Bric-a-Brac In n
Crazy Mans Stomach.
An insane patient in the county asy-
lun, Lancaster, England, was discov-
cred to be i'll. When asked if he felt
badly he would make repeated, though
Intellectual, attempts to vomit. The
physicians discovered huge lump to
the left of the stomach. After trying
to remove the lump with a stomach
pump the patient was put under ether
and cut two inches long made in the
stomach. Upon inserting the two fin
ger through this hole the physicians
made very startling discovery. The
stomach was found to be occupied by
mass Of rusty nails, many of then,
nearly three inches in length. Some
were very sharp, bent, twisted, and as
consequence, they had to be taken out
with the two fingers. When about half
the mass had been removed piece of
matted hair, nearly two inches in

length, was withdrawn from the lower
end of the aesophagus. When the
stomach was finally cleared of its un-
usual contents the net results were as
follows:
One hundred and ninety-two nails,
the majority being two and one-half
inches in length, and many even longer;
half screw nail, piece of brass wire,
n carpet tack, several small pieces of
stick, a button, and the mass of hair al
ready mentioned. The whole weighed
one pound nine ana one-half ounces.
The wound in the stomach was then
closed, the patient was put to bed be-
tween warm blankets, and a quarter of
a grain OF morphia was administered
hypodermically. But in spite of all the
doctors could do the man died four
hours after the operation, which had
lasted two hours.

striven to keep that dreadful malady
out of Constantinople; but hired as

others, cannot be kept at bay forever
Sooner or later they will strike the fatal
blow unto the marked man, and Abdul

In spite of these fatalistic apprehen'

his agents to collect all possible moneys
