decide the featherweight championship

Selfridge, Johnny Connors and Jimmy
Allen. Sam Fitzpatrick held the
watch for Smith. Tommy White got

The Devils Isle.

An old Italian Republican, Tibaldi,
now living in Rome, has given a
graphic description of the Devils Isle,
where the miserable Dreyfus is now
languishing, to an Italian journalist.
Tibaldi, for offending the French au-
thorities, was caught at Paris in 1859,
and dispatched to the ill-famed island,
where he spent thirteen years. This is
his description: Bare rocks. Not a
vestige of green whereon the eye might
rest. Here and there an old tree with
dried up branches. Some miserable
huts. Everywhere a sense of misery
and desolation. A burning sun. You
could not call the island by better
name than that which it bears. Dur
ing the day fishing and hunting. At
night the convicts are crowded into a
narrow, stuffy room"
No wonder that the old Republican
thought of nothing but flight. And fly
he did, and his companions with him.
They bribed the natives to help them
On stormy nights they got out, went to
their necks into the sea, caught drift
wood, carried 1t to hiding place, con-
structed rough boat and one sum-
mer's night put out to sea. A hurrf-
cane threw their skiff against rock,
they were cast ashore. and fled into the
virgin forest. At daybreak the blood
hounds were at their heels, and they
were recaptured and cast into irons.
Only the general amnesty of February,
1870. set them free, and Tibaldi remains
to tell the tale.-Westminster Gazette.

When 1t was time to go home she
looked around to say good-by to An
ME, but the child had slipped away.
Ruth was thinking so hard of poor
little Annie that when Nellie dropped
her hand and turned to speak to an
other girl she forgot to wait and start
ed to cross the street alone, and half
way across she tripped and fell. Be-
fore she could struggle to her feet a
horse came swiftly around the corner.
She had no time to be frightened, how
ever, for the next moment her hand
was seized and she was pulled back to
the pavement.
1t was little Annie Ridley, who had
seen the accident, and ran back to help
her.
There" she said; now wait for
your sister,
She was darting away when Ruth
caught her hand.
You thought you could not do any
thing for any one" she said, "but you
have saved me from being hurt. Mann
ma will be so glad"
That was nothing" said Annie, and
hurried away.
OF course when r got home she
told her mother all about Annie, and
you may be sure Annie had splendid
Thanksgiving dinner that year, for
Ruth's mother was so grateful to the
little girl that she felt as though she
could not do enough for her.

lie and said:
Move up, please"
Nellie tried to move, but there was
no room.
why don't you go over there?" said
Ruth, pointing to the vacant seat by
Annie.
"She is so ragged" replied the girl.
Il don't like to-
"She is clean,' said Ruth. You
may have my seat. l will go and sit
by her. May l, Nellie?"
YES" she said, after a moment,
"but you must be good"
Il am always good in Sunday
school," replied the little one, and
crossing the space between the benches
she said TO Annie:
Please may l sit here?"
You may if you want to-" replied
Annie, rather GROSSLY.
All the scholars looked at each other
and smiled. Her sister blushed.
She is so small" she said to her
neighbor.
Then the teacher entered, and Annie
and Ruth were forgotten.
When the scholars stood up to sing,
Ruth offered one side of her hymn
book to Annie, who took hold of the
cover with the tip end Of her fingers
and sang from it.
How nice you sing" whispered
Ruth. Il wish could sing So"
Annie smiled.
You are too little yet" she said,
and rroved closer. Then when the
singing was over she added You are
the incest girl in the school.
But Ruth did not answer, for just
then a gentleman began to speak, and
she knew that she must pay attention.
So she listened and he told them the
stories of Thanksgiving day and ended
by saying: mo one is too poor or too
small to be of USE"
He don't know everybody" whis-
pered Annie. He don't know u.s."
Then she added suddenly Say, what
is Thanksgiving for, anyhow"
Mamma said that long ago, when
the people first came to America to
live, they were so glad when the grain
ard pumpkins and potatoes were put
away safe in the barn for the winter
that they appointed one day to go to
church and give thanks"
oh" said Annie, but suppose they
had no barn and no pumpkins and
things. Theu WHAT"
I'VE have no barn." replied Ruth,
but mamma buys the pumpkin and
turkey at the store"
My mother never does" said An
ME.
"Why?" asked Ruth.
Because she can't" answered An
ME.
Don't you have any Thanksgiving
dinner them" asked Ruth.
Annie shook her head.
NO" she said, I'VE don't often have
bread enough, so you see l could not
do anything for any one if l wanted to
ever so much
and | am afraid I'm too little"
said Ruth, thoughtfully.
Just then the collection plate was
passed before them. Ruth had two
five-cent pieces in her hand, but when
she saw that her new friend had moth
ing to give she laid one Of the coins on
her lap.
Annie turned red, but she gave Ruth
a shy smile and placed the money on
the plate.
"You see you are not too little" -"
whispered.
THAT was nothing" replied Ruth.

Our Thanksgiving.

By Helen Chaffee.
We'd thought on this Thanksgivin'
To eat our punkin pie
With dear old mother at the farm,
AS in the days gone by.
But greater Power than we had willed
That mother shouldn't stay,
An then we couldn't bear the farm,
When she had slipped away.
30 brother John, he sent me word
Ter visit him a spell,
IN eat in style Thanksgivin' Day
Up at his big hotel.
Well, sech bill o. fare as that
I never see afore,
With all the things l ever eat,
An several dozen more.
labored hard to do my part
At talk an etiquette;
Though John was hardened to this
world,
sometimes MS eyes WuZ wet.
I knew that though his purse could
buy
The costliest kind of dish.
For mothers rare Thanksgivin' treat
He often felt q wish.
An when left him for the night,
couldn't help but say,
TT amt tho food ner yit the style
That makes Thanksgivin' Day."
