and he, too, was swept away, but
fortunately he caught the bow Of
tree and hung to it until some
log%ers, passing by in a boat. res
cued him and took him to their
camp in half-dead condition,
where he lay unconscious with a
raging fever, until one day the
daughter OF old General Flores
passed by in her carriage with her
rather, as he was q WiIOwer and
she his only daughter and constant
companion.
Tho Old general was one Of
those men who was loved and
known by everyone. so the head
man OF the camp stopped him, told
him Of the circumstances to which
little relicita listened with great
concern.
"When the loggers finished their
story, she clasped her hands and
said:
-" Papa, let US see him and do
what we can
The old general never refused
her anything and why this time.
1t resulted in his being taken to
his house, where every attention
could be given him. He still lin
gered between life and death, ever
speaking in his deliriun of his
sweet angel mother, as he called
her.
cit was a bright May morning
when Harmon opened his eyes in
a strange place, where the sweet
scent OF roses waited through his
window, and the'chilp Of birds was
heard in the trees around Flores
mansion. Then his eyes wandered
around the room, in which hung
most beautiful pictures, until tn ~
rested on the sweet Madonna,
which seemed to smile. He looked
and listened, but could not realize
where he was. Presently he heard
a door softly open and saw a sylph-
like form approach his bed; when
he uttered d cry Of JOY and ex-
claimed

Gle eschews it and believes it is a
dangerous fallacy, yet tells the

reader to draw his own conclus-
ions.
After having attended a good old
primitive Baptist meeting a lot OF
us youngsters met at old Colonel
McMan's hospitable residence to
spend a pleasant evening in social
chit-chat after discussing the cur
rent topics Of the day. Our dis
course naturally drifted to the SER
mon preached that day by the
Rev. Mr.. Harrington, in whicl he
discussed predestination
After having exhausted our vo-
cabulary on the pros and cons we
turned to the old colonel, who had
been silent listener, and asked
his opinion. "Well, boys, have
listened to what you have hal to
say, and as l always love to hear
you talk, | wouldn't put in, and as
none of you have convinced the
other, | only have to say that IN an
convinced against his will is of the
same opinion still, but your dis
cussion brings to mind the life of
my old friend, Harmon Holiday,

1t was along in the fifties, when

with him and fine fellow. he was
He was Boston boy, the son of
hard, cold and close business man,
who had no sympathy with the
romance or buildings of youth,
but his mother was a sweet, loving
creature who worshipped Harmon
and was in turn idolized by him. |
Old Harmon often reproved her
tenderness and would wind up by |
saying, Yes, you are making a |
milksop of that boy, but | will ed
ucate him, which is more than my |
parents did for me, and [ will then |
set him adrift and let him shift for
himself. So as time passed on |
young Holiday became of age, and |
on the twenty-frst year of his life, +
old Holiday took him to his store
door and gave him one hundred |
dollars and said, never let me
see your face again until you bring
one thousand dollars. Great was
the grief of both mother and son,
but old Holidays word was like
the law of the Medes and Persians.
SO young Holiday left his home
with sad emotions and doubling
fears, with carpet bag in his hand,
walked down the street, not know
ing which way to go or where to
turn, but luckily his steps brought
him to the pier, where a ship was
weighing anchor for New Orleans
and inadvertently he walked

engines of the plant was shut down for
repairs and the belt carried for several
days the load of the entire station,
transmitting by actual test load OF
2,200 horsepower. The. belt was de-
signed to transmit 1900 horsepower,
but the extra load was borne without
the slightest sign offsilure. This beit

tanned by Pilgrim Fathers.
The first Thanksgiving was appointed
by Gov. Bradford, at Plymouth, Mass.
in 1921, the year following the landing of
the Pilgrims, in order that the Colonists
in a more special way could rejoice to-
gether at having all things in good and
plenty, writes Clifford Howard in the
Ladies Home Journal. In preparation for
the feast ''gunners were sent into the
woods for wild turkeys, which abounded
there in great numbers; kitchens were
made ready for preparing the feast-espe-
cially the large one in Dame Brewsters s
house, which was under the immediate
direction and charge of Priscilla Molines,
she who afterward became the wife of
John Alden-while messenger was dis
patched to invite Massasoit, the chief of
the friendly tribe, to attend the celebra-
ton.
early on the morning of the appointed
Thursday-about the first of November
Massasoit and ninety of his warriors ar
rived on the outskirts of the village, and
with wild yells announced their readiness
to enjoy the hospitality of their white
brethren. The little settlement, which now
consisted of seven dwellings and four
public buildings, was soon astir with men,
women and children, who gave the In
dians a hearty welcome as they filed into
the large square in front of the Governors s
house. Soon the roll of drum announc-
ed the hour of prayer, for no day was be-
gun without this religious service. Then
followed holiday of feasting and recrea-
ton, which continued not enly that day
but during the two succeeding days. The

mated their ranks. The1- trades had suf-
fered, the tillers of the sol were laid low,
their houses were burned. and their suf-
ferings were intolerable. They were too
strong and brave to sit long in sackcloth
and ashes, and the next year there is q
record of "Publique Thanksgiving with
prayer that the Lord would help US in
our lives and ways to walk answerable
to his abundant mercyes.'
In 1857 Sir Edmund Andrews, Govern
or of Rhode Island, proclaimed Thanks
giving day, but his appointment was not
received with applause. being, in fact,
quite disregardedin many quarters.
Some persons were brought to court for
contempt of the day. L: answer to the
charge one Indifferent man remarked that
he was quite superior to the observation
of days and times. Another coolly., an
nounced that 'his boy opened the shop
and worked on his own account, but if
he had not have been lame he didn't
know but he should have worked him
self" Apparently Sir Edmund had a
different type of subjerEs from the pious
Pilgrims of the earlier peopled States,
who made their rugged soil an Eden and
returned thanks gratefully for 'the fa-
yors every year made new.

We thank Thee, Lord, for daily food,

And for the books of books we need;
For hopes of earth SO sweetly given,
And for the higher hopes of heaven.
For children's voices full of love:
For the bright clouds that float above;
And for the tears we've sometimes known
For sorrows other than our own.
For loved ones here and loved ones gone,
Who still, with Thee, keep loving on;
For spirit tones that softly CALL
And for the cross that's over all.
