HOW "H1RM" SAVED A TRAIN
The Story Of His Bravery as He Tells
It, and His Reward

Not far from the little town of Hora-
ito, Ark, on the line of the Pittsburg G.
Gulf railway, is short piece of trestle-
work over shallow gulley. 1t rained
hard one day last June and the water
rushed in a torrent from the neighbor-
ing hillsides, weakening in it's rush the
little trestle. Had not the rain poured
down on that June day "Hirm" Way
back (his last name Is something else)
might never have been known to history.
As it was he saw the danger, tagged the
train and disappeared in the early dawn
without giving his name. He is modest
man. is "Hirm," so he decided after
summers contemplation that he would
let the railroad company at least know
of his heroism. So "Hirm" took his pen
in hand and produced this specimen of
English ''as she is wrote:

The society people will flock to the
fashionable Church Of the Covenant on
Connecticut avenue, and to the famous
old Episcopalian place of worship on G
street, which Cornelius Vanderbilt at
tended during his last winter stay In
the nations capital.
In the afternoon 1t is the correct thing
to go to Mount Vernon in groups Of
many families. This place is commem-
orative of the real significance of the
day. Pilgrims to the tomb of the
father OF his country repeat their
thanks that such man was given to
the nation in it's critical days. And il a
purse were to be made up of the con-
tributions of Thanksgiving visitors
Mount Vernon need not wait to be ere
stored" The trip home is made in time
for theater party in the evening.
THE AFTERNOON
Perhaps the oldest inhabitant in the
District of Columbia remembers the
time when there was snow on the
ground in Washington on Thanksgiving.
Certainly no one else does. And 1t is
not the usual thing. The real Wash
ington Thanksgiving day opens bright,
clear, crisp and cold. In fact, ideal ap-
petite weather. There is no sleishing,
no skating and no coasting for the
young folks. But there is riding, driv
ing, walking in the country.
All morning long the carriages eques-
trians, equestriennes and pedestrians
move along the rock road and the
beautiful highways that part off from it
here and there into circles and the for
est. Coming back into town the parade
starts down Connecticut avenue and
passes through the great iron gates be-
tween the state department and the
White house. A stones throw further
are the white lots and the monument
greens with perfect roads and charm
ing landscapes.
Washington goes back to rural SIM
plicity for it's Thanksgiving day, but
those who pay for the great spread din
ners and are taxed for the rent of the
pew they occupy afterward, and who
know something about the cost of cor
rect Washington living and the burden
of fashionable jaunts to Mount Vernon,
can be thankful that they have the
money to observe all this, if for nothing
more. GRANT ELDREDGE.

THANKSGIVING AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

in the District Of Columbia Il the Wash
tngton market. The great Capitol
building, the White HOUSE, the classical
war, state and navy departments, the
pensioners bureau, the monumept-all
these are of secondary interest COM
pared to the great brick edifice just of
Pennsylvania avenue.
1t is the greatest market in the coun-
try. and Thanksgiving Is its greatest
day. The whole avenue near by Is lined
with the carriages that have brought

For It is the fad among ladies of the
ofhcial set to do their own marketing,
ana during the Thanksgiving season
every woman goes there.
Little women with big baskets, big

have no baskets at all, women with

are watching for the job--this is the
mighty throng that looks down on the
turkeys from Virginia and Rhode Island,
cranberries from Cape Cod, raisins from
California, and the nutmegs from Con-

of the bountiful board.
Over there at the flower booth is Mrs.

Over on the ID street side, where the

Miss Mabel Mckinley. She is planning
some little decoration for Uncle VIII
liam's family dinner at the White House.
Miss Mabel Is q generous buyer of
pretty things, and for two weeks past
has been picking up table decorations.
The vice-president and his wife have
both been to the market, anxiously in
quiring about fowl and celery, and the
other cabinet ladies have dropped in,
secretly and alone, each to be sure that
her order will be filled first. In Wash
ington you go marketing alone and make
your purchases of the shop dealer so
oonfidentially that none but he can hear
you, though you bow pleasantly to all.
IN THE CHURCHES
1t is great day with the churches,
too. All Washington, religious or other
wise, attends services on a November
thank day. At the great Congregational
church on the corner of Tenth avenue
and G street there Is always an impor-
tant union Thanksgiving service. The
celebrated blind organist and composer,
Rischoff, is the potent attraction.
The president and Mrs. Mckinley will
go to the Foundry Methodist church. It
Is only four blocks from the White
House, and Major Mckinley was a reg

sional day. Mrs. Mckinley, who is feel

the window. The next passenger was

AN EVERYDAY HEROINE


AT Fiftieth street a rosy checked
young country girl with a huge band
box clambered into the stage Town life
was evidently new to her. She held a
: quarter In her hand.
Looking obviously about she finally
epied the money box and dropped in the
coin. After this she waited expectantly.
Nothing occurred, however. At last she
Fesolutely stood up. attracted the drl-
ver's attention, and called to him;
"How do get my change? ! put a
quarter In the box" she asked.
"xeHe oughter a-handed 1t up" said

the driver, and turned away.
"0et It of the new passengers?" She
did not understand. She grew flushed
and uneasy. Every one In the stage had
become interested, but no one volunteer
"a any advice. That ia the way Of the
metropolis. People are afraid to appear
unconventional or to show feeling.
Hence they are stiff and distant.
The stage stopped and an old lady
scrambled In. As she took out her mon
ey, 4 five-cent piece, a tailor-made girl
leaned over to her.
"Will you give me that for this little
eirl1' she asked. "She dropped in a
quarter by mistake, and the driver said
the new passengers might make 1t up to
her."
The old lady beamingly handed over
the nickel. She felt that the stage COM
pany was being rigidly and justly dealt
with At last,

for the tailor-made girl. but she made

The Congregationalist of Dec. % con-
tanned the following under the heading
Education: "The scheme for a national
university at Washington will come before
Congress at an early day in the form of
carefully drafted bill which will have in
fluential advocates in both houses. 1t
would be more likely to pass were the ma
tional revenues larger, though those who
are fostering the scheme do not, as we I'M
derstand it, ask for perpetual government
support. They only ask for appropria-
tions covering the initial cost" 1t is in
: H-e5tl y this connection to note that
the pioneer advocate of national univer-
sity was undoubtedly Rev. Lewis Grout,
the well-known retired missionary of West
Brattleboro. The Yale Literary Magazine
of November, 1871, contains an article of
four pages in which he gives reasons why
such an institution ought to be established.

The Foremost Negro of America.


Booker Washington is the foremost ne
gro of America. lie excels as an orator,
but he is best known through his work for
the Tuskegee, Ala, institute and its col
onies. The Hartford Courant correctly
characterzes this work as constructive
craftsmanship" and even the fre-eating
Charleston, S. c., News and Courier re-
fers to Mr. Washington as a "great man."
The institution at Tuskegee was founded
16 years ago in shanty with one teacher,
30 pupils and no property. There are now
AZ school, shop and farm buildings, 2267
acres of land, 100000 educational and
industrial plant, "a industries in prosper
Gus operation, SO teachers and nearly 100
pupils. 1t is the centre and source of civ
ilzing influences which radlate into 81
states, and which reach the Indian terri
tory, the West Indies and Africa.
In addition to educating directly hundreds
of young men and women as teachers, me-
chanics, farmers, housekeepers and indus
trial leaders, it keeps in operation the
Tuskegee negro conference, with its nu-
merous local conferences scattered all over
the South, the mothers meetings, planta-
ton settlement work, and helps and en-
courages such smaller schools as those 1t
Snow Hill, Waugh and Kowaliga, Ala.
and Cambria, Va.
Every year sees the work extending and
little Tuskegees springing up-each becom-
ing at once a centre of light for its own
region. All conform closely to the dis
tinctive Tuskegee idea, thus stated by the
man who has accomplished such results
with it:
Prom the first one thing has been kept
in view; to make this, in every respect a
first-class industrial school, and to empha-
size industrial development that is suited
to the actual needs and present condition
of the masses of the negro race in the
South. In doing this no attempt has been
made to undervalue the strictly college
work done by other institutions; they are
doing a valuable and much-needed work.
We have not emphasized industrial educa-
ton as an end, but as a means to higher
development; for no race can ever rise
very high that has not a firm foundation
in industry, thai is not in large measure a
race of intelligent producers, that does not
Irvine itself about the rest of mankind
through business and commerce"
In his 10Th annual report issued recent
ly Principal Washington states some of the
needs of Tuskegee-two new dormitories,
a hospital or infrmary, some scholarships,
and 500, 900 endowment.

Secretary Gage, when questioned in
Washington Wednesdays to a report that
he had rendered his resignation to the
President, and that it had been firmly
declined, said he had not rendered his
resignation, nor had he any reason to be-
lieve that he and the President were not
in Substantial accord on the great questions
now before the country. The report, he
said, probably sprung from a remark he
had made to intimate friends to the effect
that not for anything would he enbarrass
the President, and if he saw that he was
doing this he would resign at once.
