Notwithstanding the poor are always with
us, Thanksgiving is none the less a day OF
rejoicing Many charities have been dis
pensed and through numerous instrument
alities the necessities and sufferings of many
worthy person have been relieved. Absent
members of households reunite at the old
homestead and gathered around the festal
board recount the incidents that have taken
place and the various blessings that have
been vouchsafed them since they assembled at
the last annual meeting by the same fireside.
1t is time for memory and for joy. Among
the countless families of Chicago there is
perhaps, not one to-day that feels deeper
sense Of gratitude to the Giver of all good
and perfect gifts than Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred
Collier, of 1904 Armour Avenue.
Mr.. Collier, who is the electrician at the
Chicago and Rock Island Railroad shops in
this city came here from Hamilton, Canada
little more than nine years ago accom-
panied by his wife and little daughter, their
only child Eta. then aged four. Little Eta
was a bright and beautiful girl, but not a
very robust one.
For the last few years she had been some-
what ailing, but her condition was not such
as to create any uneasiness i'll the minds of
her parents, who almost idolized her. In
the school she was regarded as one of the
brightest scholars Of her class and was the
envy Of her classmates. Although but a
little over twelve years of age, her intellect
was phenomenal. She was possessed, how
ever, of a very nervous temperament which
is frequently the case with children of her
advanced intelligence. Early III the month
of June last, owing to a sudden fright, she
was thrown into violent spasns, to recover
only to be afflicted with St. Nitus' dance in
the worst form. The CONSERVATION OF her
parents may we'll be imagined.
OF coarse the best phyaicians were sum-
mo'lesl at once but their Efforts to restore her
to her normal condition were devoid of re-
suits. Sae continued to grow worse, her
appetite wholly Esiled and commencing with
her rich arm her whole right side and lower
limb became limp, numb, and useless and
what tittie neuriShmant she was able to take
had 10 be administered by others. To add
to tine sagioa mess Of ,he case she was unable
to obtain any steep whatever.
