In his beautiful and tender Thanksgiving
proclamation the President says: This
honored observance acquires with time
a tenderer significance. It enriches do
nestle life. It summons under the fam
lily roof the absent children to glad reunion
with those they love" There is a certain
pathos in this inclining US to suspect that
Mr.. Mckinley was thinking of our absent
Otis, as he composed. Perhaps he means
shortly to summon under the family roof
of the Administration that absent child to
glad reunion with those" who love him
Such a movement would indeed be occasion

Poetry in New York.

Among the consequences of the Dewey
celebration in New York was an incident
which occurred on Broadway two or three
days ago. The dramatis personae in the
scene were a policeman, a crowd, and an
alleged Dewey poet. When the policeman
hove in sight the poet was reciting verses
to the supernumeraries. It is not ex-
planned how he held them to the spot,
Possibly, like the Ancient Mariner, he used
his glittering eye. Perhaps he was a hyp-
notist The most probable explanation.
however, is that it was simply an ordinary
New York crowd. It is one OF the easiest
things in the world to assemble sidewalk
audience in New York. At the slightest
hint of disturbance or any unusual hap
pening, human beings seem to spring up out
OF the earth, or rain from the sky, and it
is only moment or two before the police
man and his club arrive on the spot with
the command to move on, now" That was
what happened in this instance. But Just
as the policeman reached the group an ex-
asperated auditor hit the poet on the tip of
the chin, and then the minion Of the law
Z.
the poet and marched him off to jail.
The poet was astonished, but there
seemed to be nothing to do about it but to
recite his grievances to the judge in the
morning. He did this, and the judge came
near fainting then and there. The po-
liceman then told his story He said that
he could not think of any reason why
man should stand on the sidewalk and re-
cite verses unless he was intoxicated; that
that was one of the signs of intoxication,
and was enough. all by itself, TO convince
him that Michael Kelly (the poet) ought to
be in jail. Michael Kelly said that he
was not a drinking man at all, but occa-
sionally wrote verses, and that he was the
man who wrote the poem to Admiral
Dewey"
Until that time it had not been known
that any New Yorker had written poem
to Admiral Dewey, and the Judge was
evidently impressed with the fact. At any
rate, he let Michael Kelly 90, and de-
clined TO admit that there was any charge
against him. We should always endeavor
to learn some lesson from the daily hap
penings Of ordinary life. There seem to
be two or three lessons to be learned from
this. One is that it is dangerous to recite
poetry where a New York policeman can
hear it. Sentimental rural persons will
please bear this in mind, and refrain from
reciting The Psalm of Life" or THE
Charge of the Light Brigade" anywhere
within the limits of Manhattan.

It occurred to a number OF people in
New Jersey yesterday to present Sampson
with a sword. Governor Voorhees, was tbs
spokesman. and he said, said he:
Admiral, the plan of battle which destroyed
Ceryera's feet was matured by your quiet study
and consummate skill and was carried out by
your feet without a single error"
Certainly. Even Cervera obeyed orders
and came out just as Sampson had ar
ranged he should. Nothing was missing
unless, of course, you count Sampson.

As to the Dewey reception continued
the Admiral facetiously. 81 am afraid that

answered afirmatively, he enquired: What

Yes? That's Howison's ship. When How
ison stopped at Alden on his present cruise
they thought there that the Chicago was
the Olympia, and gave hrn the Admiral's

Our Chinese servants did some good fight
ing that day at Manila, and there's not
more loyal servant of Uncle Sam on board
the Olympia than All Leen.' But the
Treasury Department has decided to let
the Cinnamon on board take part in the
land parade" Admiral Dewey was in
formed. His face lighted up with a CHEEKY
smile and he called All Leen. The China
man stood quietly at attention while Ad-
miral Dewey said slowly, ''Ah Leen, the
United States let Chinamen go to land
parade"
Me likee velly much velly much" said
All Leen. and then he hurried away to
tell his fellow -countrymen of their good
fortune.
Now that's the best news | have heard

Those faithful fellows will get their

She never failed us and is as handsome

Effort AT Rescue.
Emma Winter. the four-year- daugh-
ter OF F. b. Winter, sign painter, resid-

| this morning, as result of burns received
shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon
at her home, and her mother is confined
to her bed. being severely burned in an

the accident is not known, as there was no
one in the room with the little girl when
her clothes became ignited. 1t is supposed
that she obtained some matches from the
mantiepiece, and, in playing with them
set fire to her dress.
"A few minutes before ] O'Clock ye5ter-
day Emma, who is the youngest of thres
children, finished eating her lunch, ana
was sent upstairs by her mother to lie
down. In short time Mrs. Winter heard
q scream, and, thinking the child was
frightened left the table where she was
eating her lunch and started to the floor
above, The little girl was discovered in
the hall with her dress in flames. She was
clothed in light lawn dress, that burned
rapidly. She had run through her grand
mothers room, and the wind famed the
flames until they enveloped her entire
body. Mrs. Winter fought the blaze with
her hands, while she called to her mother
for assistance. She seized blanket from
bed and wrapped it around the child,
while her mother, who lives with the fam
lily, assisted in extinguishing the flames
with a rug taken from the floor. The child
was in agony and the mother frantic with
grief. ~ eo4 ss
DR.. John F. Winter, a relative, was sent
for, but was not at his office, and the child
was taken to the Emergency Hospital,
where it was discovered that her injuries
would prove fatal. The lower part OF
the little girls body was terribly burned.
There was comparatively little skin left
on the upper part of her body and the
burns extended to the neck and face, which
were badly scorched. The light dress and
underclothes Of the child were entirely
consumed. and the heavier underbody
partly burned.
At the hospital everything possible was
done, but the doctors believed that it would
be impossible TO save her life. AT midnight
she grew worse and shortly after l O'Clock,
when it was seen that she could not live,
her father was sent for Mr.. Winter was
at work yesterday afternoon when the acct
dent occurred and did not hear of it until
almost O'Clock, when two children who
had left for school before the accident hap
pened returned and were sent to acQuaint
him with the news. He returned to find
his child in the hospital and his wife in
bed.
Mrs. Winters injuries are confined to
her hands and arms. The skin is entirely
gone from her left hand. She was treated
at her home as the doctors decided that
she had best not be at the hospital when
the child was being cared for.
