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 mp 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. II wish / could sing So"
Annie smiled
"You are too little yet" she said,
and moved 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 us"
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. Then what?'
1--WE 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

Don't you have any Thanksgiving

ever so much.
And l am afraid I'm t>o little, .
said Ruth, thoughtfully.
Just then the collection plate was
passed before them. Ruth had two
fiye-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
shy smile and placed the money on
the plate.
"You see you are not too little." she

the best method Of concentrating Shat
ter's army without resulting in too
much Of a. backward movement
After considering the situation care
fully he astonished the president and
secretary Of war by advising that there
be no concentration or retreat until af-
ter flrst-class Yankee bluff had been
tried and failed. He suggested that
Shafter should at once demand the sur
render Of the city, and thus occupy the
attention of the Spaniards, utilizing the
time to hurry forward the REINFORCE
ments. Gen, Miles believed that after
being summoned to surrender the
Spaniards would as least take time for
consideration and not attempt sortie,
because they would be deceived, by
the boldness Of the demand, into the
belief that Shafter was ready to at.
tack the city at once.
Gen. Miles advice was followed, and
Shafter was surprised to receive, in
stead of permission to retreat, orders
to knock on the gates Of Santiago and
demand it's unconditional surrender.
Fortunately, the bluff was turned into
complete success by the laundering
Of Capt. Gen. Blanco, who ordered Ger
vera to leave the harbor.o When the
ships were destroyed that memorable
Sunday Shafter was relieved of the
danger Of their bombardment, and the
demand for a surrender, made origin
ally to gain time, became at once a
real condition Of affairs, and Toral was
obliged to capitulate. If Cervera had
remained in the harbor it is probable
that Toral would have declined to sur
render, and Shafter would have either
had to withdraw from his position or
hold 1T at great danger until he was
ready to attack.

Skaters Weakness Concealed by
Demand for Surrender.

Demand for Surrender
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-It Ia
just beginning to be understood that
the surrender Of Santiago was the re-
suit of a big bluff successfully worked
on the Spaniards by the American
army. It appears now that on or about
July 1 dispatches were received at the
war department from Gen. Shafter
which declared that he had not nearly
enough troops to capture the city, and
that his line had become so thin In
many places as to necessitate a retreat
for four or five miles.
These dispatches were more serious
In their character than the public has
yet been permitted to know, and they
created positive CONSERVATION at the
White house. The Fourth Of July was
approaching, and it was feared that a.
backward movement at that time, how
ever wise it might be, would have g.
bad effect upon the country. In adj
dition to that 1t seemed evident from
Skaters reports that If the Spaniards
understood the situation they could
break through the line at several points
and get into the rear of the American
army. In this emergency Gen. Miles
was summoned hurriedly to the White
house and asked for his opinion as to
