people looked and wondered. The story of
the remarkable case has became the marvel
of the two counties. Exactly as Mr.. Wood

published:

A GREAT MANS SILENCE.
He Preserved His Quiet Dignity Under
Most Trying Circumstances

Most Trying circumstances.
A great man, whose wife was de-
voted to him, but was subject to in.
sane attacks of jealousy and resent
ment, was once visited at his coun-
try house by two old time friends.
He welcomed them with marked cor
diality, and, seating himself between
them on the piazza, was soon deep
in confidential conversation. While
he was listening to what they had to
say and occasionally replying to an
argument which seemed to him more
plausible than logical the door be-
hind him was suddenly opened, and
from it emerged his wife, with an
angry face and pail of water.
Without word she deliberately
upset the pail and drenched him
from head to foot. The two friends
sprang to their feet in establishment
and caught sight of the resentful
woman retreating into the house
with triumphant air.
Tho man who had been subjected
to this shower bath arose without a
word, went into the house and in ten
minutes returned to the piazza, hay
ing made complete change of dress.
His friends were still in the yard
and were wishing that they could be
transported by balloon or magic car
pet to their own homes, where they
would not be witnesses of strange
and embarrassing domestic scenes.
Their host called to them, and
placed the chairs on the piazza.
When they were all seated, he re-
sumed the conversation with the
simple remark, "As I was saying,
my friends" and then went on with
the discussion, picking up the thread
where it had been dropped and max
ing no reference to what had hap
pened.
He was quiet and dignified and did
not betray in his manner trace of
the modification and annoyance
which his wife's exasperating attack
must have caused.
A weaker man would either have
appealed to his friends for sympathy
or striven to apologize for the strange
and irrational conduct of the wom-
an. He had neither accusations to
make nor excuses to offer. He strove
to put his friends at ease by divert.
ing their attention from the painful
exhibition of his wife's infrmity by
engaging them in animated CONVEX
sation.
So successful was he that the three
were soon laughing, chatting and
arguing together as though nothing
unpleasant had happened.
When the time came for the two
visitors to drive to the station to
take train, their host said goodby
to them at the gate with the remark
that they had had delightful after
noon together.
The great man loved his wife, and
knew that she was not responsible
at all times for her oaprices and re-
sentiments. Unwilling to talk about
her infirmities, even with old and
trusted friends, he acted with rare
self possession and good taste in
maintaining rigid silence, and leav-
ing them to infer for themselves the
reasons for his reserve.-You th s
Companion.

The saaly Ant Eater.

An animal made of tin plate, Of the
shape of an elongated fir cone, about
three feet in length, which crackles and
rustles with every movement, is one of
the latest acquisitions of the Geological
society of London. Its name is the pan
COLIN, or scaly ant eater, and it belongs
to the same family group as the arma
dillo and platypus. It has excited great
attention at the zoo, for it is-if we are
correctly informed--tbe first animal of
the kind which has been exhibited
there. Its home is where the termites,
or white ants, are found, for the animal
feeds ON these destructive creatures and
possesses claws which are designed to
break down their strongholds. The
claws are also necessary for burrowing

A FLAVOR.
Has Thanksgiving Observance Degenerate
ed, After Al9

~ 1H uh& DGAChCIW W.
ed, After All?
1t seems TO be generally held that the
first Thanksgiving came after tho flrst
bountiful harvest by the pilgrims and was
chiefly a religious feast, and this is true
enough, but this first Thanksgiving was
not the only one. Ii took place in 1898,
and while all who took part were seemly
and deyout in their demeanor there was
probably no lack of h~ilarity and honest,
hearty laughter. In this it was probably
more like the modern city Thanksgiving
observance than some rural Thanksgiving
doings of the middle of this century and
later. In another matter 1t resenbled the
modern day-it was marked by what must
have been very like athletic sports, for the
account of the day by Mr.. Winslow, one of
the pilgrim fathers, says:
Among other recreations we exercised
our arms, many of the Indians coming
among us, and with the rest their greatest
king, Massasoit, with some 80 men, whom
for three days we entertained and feasted."
Now for tie other first Thanksgiving. 1t
was held in 1893 in New York city and
was the first Observance Of the holiday by
the national authorities. In the course of
the day n dinner was eaten at Fraunce's
tavern, at which a number Of patriots got
shamefully drunk and had a free fight, in
which an officers nose was broken. After
that they had SO disgraceful q quarrel
about a turkey that Hamilton swore, and
whom Washington heard about it he swore
twice.
Ii this lie true. and it seems so to be,
then oar forof Tiers were quite as human
as the rest of US.
