storm OF laughter and applause which
his words caused.
II was the merriest kind Of a dinner

members who interjected and the mem

equal to the witty pace Mr.. Jefferson
set for them after he had been intro.

President Cleveland, in reply to an
invitation, wrote letter. IN which he
expressed heartfelt regret that his en-

him from Joining in the tribute to his

Mr.. Jefferson decorated with his auto

They were highly priced.

to chin were smeared with red sauce. But
the little ones didn't let much of it get
away, for oh 1t tasted so good.
Then the hot buns, mixed fruits and the
pies-such great round pies-filled with
such good mince meat, and then the
squash pies. There was one little chap
with huge piece of mince pie in one
hand and piece ofsquash in the other, and
his mouth filled with both. who inquired
of one OF the sisters if there wasn't any
candy. There are some little boys very
hard to satisfy, and he was one of
those boys. But then he was such hun
cry little boy, and the way he ate every
thing in sight proved that goodies weren't
an every day diet with him.
Many q day, indeed, these children
would not get dry crust were it not for
the generosity of the sisters-for the chill
dren come from the poorer classes, and
when they BILE each day at the
homes of Sacred Heart, st. Joseph and
st. Francis they are fed and often clothed
by the sisters. As rule the parents are
neglectful and in many cases both the
father and mother are drunkards and the
only kind words the children ever hear
come from the lips of the sisters. Days
ago the sisters told the children of the
good time they were to have on Thanks
giving day and many preparations had
been made for the feast that the little ones
enjoyed yesterday.
One little girl was in tears-her name
was Pearl Carter and she was as black rs
the night-her curly black hair done up in
dozen pigtails, tied with st. Patrick
ribbon.
Pearl was inconsolable. for little girl
who sat next to her and was as white as
Pearl was black had taken PEARLS orange
and before Pearl could rescue it had taken
big bite out of it. There were several
little black girls present, Marguerite
Snowden, a little lass of about 4 years,
being conceded by all to be the belle in
her particular circle.
Each child was decorated with ribbon !;
these belonging to the Sacred Heart home
wo,e a red ribbon, those from st. Joseph's
wore pink. and the children of the Home
of st. Francis were designated by blue
ribbon.
The priests present were Reverend Faith
ers Prendergast Wyman, Santandreu,
Cullen, Quinn and Dempsey.
Prominent among the ladies who as
sisted the sisters in serving the children
were: Mrs. Richard Tobln, the Misses
Corrigan of Chicago, Mrs. ]. f. Sullivan,
Mrs. Edward May, Harriet skidmore,
Laura McKinstry, Mrs. and the Misses
Low, Laura Brennan, Mrs. DIR. Pescia,
Mrs. McMahon, Mrs. Montealegre and
many others.
The decorations were particularly beau
tiful, many boxes of flowers having been
received from San Jose and other interior
towns.
For the past twelve years the sisters
have given dinner each Thanksgiving TO
the children of their homes, and at each
succeeding year the children increase in
numb bers. The first dipner the sisters al
tenn pied but sixteen children were pres
ent, and yesterday there were 600.
To the charitably inclined the sisters
feel most grateful for the generous dona-
tions received by them these last few

are equal and that God is the father of us all.
Those are the finger points, the indexes of
this great Nation. There is another sublime
indication that we have mission worthy OF
our highest regard for fitting ell the Nations
tor their fullest development and the individu-
ality of man for the maintenance of his per-
sonal rights his property, his reputation, his
life, his liberty and his happiness.
This was the great dream of the fathers, and
1t ought to be our dream to-day. 1t is true
that these men had the courage 10 do what no
other founders CT nation presumed to do /;
grants from superiors to inferors, but that
the Magma Charter OF England. What was
that? 1t was grant from superior TO an in
ferior-from old King John, wrested from him
by the force of the barons; yet it was limited
and restricted for class, and not applicable
for whole people. Then come down to the
petition of right, the bulwark of English lib
erty, from Charles the First 1t was an extern
sion OF the Magma Charter and a grant from
superior TO an inferior.
But our rights come from no King John or
Charles the First but from God Almighty,
who is God over all and blessed forever. They
said that the maintenance OF this peculiar
constitution al right was not in legislation nor
in commercial affairs, but in the conscience of
the people. So to- day what a splendid exam
pie we are to the world for an exhibition of
this moral force.

dred visitors. AT a signal the children sat
at the table, but many of them were so
small that they had to be lifted and put in
high chairs, where they sat and gazed In
wonderment at the array of goodies placed
before them.
How silently they sat with lowered
heads and little clasped hands as Arch
bishop Riordan entered and said the
prayer of grace! Then came the moment
Tor the children to indulge their appetites,
and such appetites as developed. Thirty
great, big, lat turkeys graced the tables,
but soon thirty carcasses were visible,
stripped of the last shred of meat. The
turkeys didn't seem to mind being de-
voured by the little ones at all. But there
was lots else besides the turkeys, in fact
they became minor consideration when
the great dishes of cranberry sauce, look
ing redder than usual - for the sauce
seemed to realize it was showing the STAN

eyes, and soon little faces from foYehead
