The Philadelphia Times has the informa-
ton that President Mckinley is devounS
his spare time to the preparation of plan
for submitting the question Of annexation
10 the Cubans. He is himself heartily in
favor of annexation" says the Times, 'an1
has, it is said, inside information to the ef-
feet that a large majority of the inhabi-
tants Of the island would favor such a
solution of what will otherwise be long
and vexatious problem. We have no
means OF knowing what inside informa-
tom the President has. nor how the ma
jority Of the people of Cuba regard the
question of annexation; but in view of the
declarations of Congress, we think it
would come with bad grace for either the
President or Congress to advance to the
Cubans an annexation proposition. If the
people of the island desire annexation,
they ought to make the advance.

1t was such an uncommon event for
thorough going Aunt Sarah 10 forget
anything that the rather timid child
felt some hesitancy in alluding to so
fragrant breach of the good woman's
strong point. Aunt Sarah colored
slightly, but made no reply.
Nov, child, you fall TO work on this
pumpkin while | dress the turkey. l
want to get everything pretty well
done up tomorrow so there won't be
much on hand when Jim's folks get
here"
Aunt Sarah was the last surviving
member of a large and prosperous
family. She lived alone with the ex-
ception of an orphan child of IL years.
AS one by one those whom she loved,
and for whom she had chccrfully sacri-
feed her life, passed away, and she
had no animate object upon which to
lavish her affection, she turned il all
70 the old house where her family had
lived for two generations. Cousin Jim
had spent many years in Missouri, and
his wife and children she had never
seen.
The one great shadow that darkened
Aunt Sarah's life was n mortgage for
$1,000 upon the place, the time for the
payment of which was rapidly APP
preaching. Her usually cheerful dis
position was so clouded by this trial
that for several years she had not been
able to find heart for the celebration of
any festivities. However, since "Jims
folks" those that really cared for her
and were her own, were coming, she
must make suitable preparations for
their entertainment.
So the morning before Thanksgiving
found her up by four o'clock, and bus
Ting about with a brighter face and a
brighter step than she had known in
years. All day she mixed and stirred
and baked and tasted, regardless of the
lowering clouds and steady rain with
out. BY three o'clock in the afternoon
the last pie, steaming hot, was placed
beside many others in neat rows on the
pantry shelves, the enormous turkey,
brown and crisp, lay in regal state be-
side spiced ham. Cakes, snowy loaves
Of home made bread, jars of preserved
fruits, jellies and marmalades and pats
Of golden butter were arranged in
tempting array. Aunt Sarah gave n
sigh of satisfaction as she surveyed the
Roodly store.

shoicest cookies. take these and eat

children never have had real good
Thanksgiving, and can't think of hav-
ing everything torn up before they get
here. ] am dreadful sorry"
Mr.. Stanton was disappointed, yet he
went away glad that such an unexpect-
ed pleasure was coming into Aunt Sa-
rah's life. He quite understood her
feelings, though when he thought of
the miserable unsheltered creatures in
the town. he wished il might have been
otherwise.
Aunt Sarah turned from the door
with heavy heart. The brightness and
warmth of the sitting-room smote her
with deep sense of guilt. She tried to
put the matter from her mind; but
every time she looked into the glowing
flames she saw host of cold, haggard
faces. Unable to bear il longer, she left
the room on the preteXt of seeing that
all was well upstairs. She passed from
one to another of the neat bedrooms
Never before had the old-fashioned
high-posted beds looked so inviting. She
paused in deep thought. Suddenly her
eyes rested upon a faded sampler she
had worked when child. The long
uneven letters in red, green and purple
silk danced before her eyes. "Inasmuch
as we have done II unto one of the least
of these, My brethren, We have done ii
unto Me-"
"Done It unto Me-" the words echoed
In her ears. What If He were out in
the rain hungry and cold, would she
have treated Him thus?
She sank beside the bed and bur
led her face in her hands.
Dear Lord" she sobbed, sit is SO
hard, when il is the only pleasure I've
had since mother died, five long years
ago. / wasn't expecting it, and II all
came so sudden like, and now to have
II spoiled. But for Thy sake, Lord
accept the sacrificed"

few minutes later as she appeared muf-
fed from head TO foot, "Tm going down

ing .Jim's folks at home. Once Jim sets
his head to 90 thing, he always would
have his way or die"
And she settled back in her armchair
by the coy sittingroom fire ito rest n
Bit after her hard days work.
Just as she was dreaming of n
Thanksgiving long ago when she and
Jim and her brothers and sisters popped
corn and roasted apples before the
great open fire, loud knock caused her
to jump TO her feet in alarm.
"Who on earth can be coming on such
an evening"" she muttered drowsily.
as she CROPPED her way through the hall

you up here in such rain as this!" she
exclaimed in surprise. "Come right in. !"

AN ABSURD PROPOSITION.

To defend forclble annexation on the
ground that we are carrying out a re-
Iigious duty. is worse than absurd. The
Bible teaches us that it is more blessed
to give than to receive, while the colo
Mai policy is based upon the doctrine
that il is more blessed to take than to
leave. | am afraid that the impcriai-
lists have confused their beattitudes.

parable of the good Samaritan with the

he went he fell among thorns. and the
thorns sprang up and choked him. We
entered the Spanish war as peace-
makers. Imperialists have an indis-
tinct recollection that a blessing has
been promised 10 the peacemaksrs. and
also 10 the meek, but their desire for

FOREIGN EXAMPLE.

The forcible annexation of the Phil
ippines would violate a principal of
American public law so deeply imbed-
ded in the American mind that until a
year ago no public man would have
suggested it. 1t is difficult To over-es-
innate the influence which such a
change in our national policy would
produce on the character of our peo-
pie. Our opponents ask, is our nation
not great enough TO do what England
Germany and Holland are doing? They
inquire. can we not govern colonies as
we'll as they? Whether we can govern
colonies as we'll as other countries is
not material: the real question is
whether we can, in enc Hemisphere de-
velop the theory that governments de-
rive their just power from the consent
of the governed. and at the same time
inauSurate support and defend In the
other hemisphere, government which
derives its authority entirely from su

1t is the only safe orc to pursue Any
