burden of years seemed to have fallen
from them. Suddenly she looked up,
an arch smile curving her lips.
Think of the tables at which we
expected to sit today. Remember the
various delicacies, the silver, china,
embroidered linen and flowers, then
note the contrast. Is not this a
strange Thanksgiving?
He leaned forward, and again her
eyes sank before his. 81 remember it
all, and yet feel like returning thanks

just then the station agent entered.
A freight train came in sight and
halted. Zoe retreated to window
while the men went OUT and in the de-
pot. After short e. lime the train
went on, and the agent again left the
travellers alone.
BARLEY came at once to her side. "In
an hour there will be train going
back to your home. You will take it.,
will you not?"
She nodded. In an hour they would
be separated. There would be moth
ing of this strange Thanksgiving day
save a memory
He came step closer.
Let me go with you, Zoe"
What do you mean?"
II mean I love you still. Neither
have you forgotten. Why should we
lose one hour Of the happiness life
holds for us? We will go to your
home and this very night become hus-
band and wife,
She shook her head, although she
did not draw back when he took both
her hands in his.

"Why not?"
"It's-well, it's unconventional"
He laughed lightly, for he knew his
victory was won.
This has been an unconventional
Thanksgiving, darling. 1t is real
one. though. I never knew what the
word meant until could give thanks
for you and your love-

Servants Thanksgiving Dinner is
provided, generally at midday.

go out at this hour, so the servants
may not be called upon. The table in
the servants hall is spread with almost
the same meal the household itself will

Purified the Spot He Had Sat On.

Outside certain native bazaar in
Egypt Frenchman sat busily paint
ing. Inside sat the dusky salesman.
Unlike most other bazaar keepers, he
had not instantly shut everything up
and made himself scarce as soon as he
saw that he and his belongings were
being photographed. He simply sat
stolidly there. The Frenchman, hav-
ing finished. packed up his traps and
disappeared. Then the bazaar keeper
gave quiet order, and youth came
out with thurible in his hand filled
with burning incense, and carefully
and slowly incensed every inch of the
spot the Frenchman had occupied and
the whole of the immediate neighbor-
hood as well.-New York Press.

CARVED HIS OWN MONUMENT.
Virginia Sculptor Ereets Statues of
Himself and Wife Before
Death.

Two unique monuments tower HIGH
above the other testimonials to the dead
in lakewood cemetery, Richmond. Va.
They were erected to himself and wife
by James Netherwood, of that city. Mr..
NetherOood was the greatest monu-
ment builder in the south. After hay-
ing erected the jackson monument. the
Lee monument, the soldiers and sail
ors' monument and the \. L. Hill and
HowltZer monuments he erected the
stately monument for himself.
There is a little story connected with
the monument which now marks the
place where his body lies in Oallwood,
Mr.. Nethcrwood was a great admirer
OF Virginia graninte as a medium
through which to immortalize heroes
and other celebrities. When the sol
diers' and sailors monument was erect
ed he was strong advocate of using
Virginia grant for the soldiers figure
on the top. The committee on design
disagreed with him. They thought that
bronze would be much more suitable
and would be capable Of a more grace
full mold. The Virginia granite was
rejected and the bronze decided upon.
Mr. Netherwood went to work and
had a statue of himself carved in Nir
ginia granite. This he set UP at his
place of business, and, seeing that it
shove up we'll, he decided to have it
mounted on a tall shaft and placed a.
the spot where he would ht. buried
This was done. and the monument is
now one of the ornaments of Oakwcod.
1t is thirty feet four inches high and &C.
cupieS one of the most commanding pO-
sitions in the cemetery. The base and
pedestal are nine feet and the column
10. and the figure, which is a good like
ness Of Mr.. Netherwood, is six feet four
inches.
Some time after Mr.. Netherwood
erected the monument to himself he put
up one to his wife, who is still living.
She was Miss Nancy Ramsley, and has
no children. The monument erected to
her is about II feet high. The pedestal
is about six feet four inches and sus-
tains the figure of a woman clothed in
| Grecian robes and is about five feet
eight inches in height. The monument
| to his wife is Immediately to the right
| of that erected to himself and is of a
rather striking design. - Chicago

the chairman announced that balloting
would begin. From the start 1t looked
like Holt victory, although the Taven-
ner people had the shouters and the
rooters. The noise was 60 intense that
for several minutes It was impossible 70
hear the call OF the first county. 81 ~
grees the enthusiasm became less fer
vid, and when the roll call was ended It
looked very much like Tavenner had the
call. BY the calculation Of spectators
the vote stood 442 for Tavenner, 357 for
Holt, and the other votes divided be-
tween Flournoy and Lewis. Before the
vote was announced Mason attempted
to change It's vote to Holt and several
other counties followed suit, but Chair
man Mckinney would not entertain the
propositions and ruled that the counties
must be called alphabetically for the
changes. The battle was intense and
the result was close, but Holt won out
in the recount, receiving 4s6 votes or
twenty-four more than necessary for
nomination. Mr.. Holt was called to the
stand and made a short speech. The
convention then adjourned until 10
o'clock In the morning. ]. II. S.

By Chairman CANDY" Edmiston for
AfEronts Given Many Years Ago
By the Governor.
Special Dispatch to the InteIligencer.
PARKERsBURG. W. Va, June O.
That was a cruel and relentless shot
that ANDY" Edmiston fred at ex-Gov-
eruor Maccorkle before the assembling
of the Democratic,state convention. The
Falrmont Republican convention made
Governor Atkinson chairman and he
delivered a powerful speech for the par
ty. a defense and eulogy Of his own ad-
ministratlon and an ugly and damaging
arraignment of the last Democratic ad-
minIstration, Of which NacCorltle was
the head. MacCorkle smarted under
the arralgnment and prepared reply
which he expected to make as tempor-
airy chairman of the convention. But
"Andy" was once president OF :he board
of insane asylum directors at Weston,
while MaccorkIe was governor, and the
chief executive found It necessary at
one time to displace him in the interest
Of public safety and political decency.
Andy" had not forgotten the little
episode and when 1t was suggested that
the last Democratic governor be permit
ted to defend his administration as
temporary chairman of the convention,
the Weston Nemisls got his revenge. He
declared that as chairman of the state
committee and delegated with the duty
of calling the convention to order and
announcing the chairman, the name of
MacCorkle would never DO uttered by
him. All other members Of the COM
nittee were for Maccorkl except one.
How Maccorkle Wanted It.
MacCorkie said that he wouldn't ac-
cept the temporary Craftsmanship un-
less 1t came to him on a silver platter;
that in that all members Of the commit
tee should vote for him.
Edmiston saw in this an opportunity
to get back at his old enamy and he put
diplomacy to the winds and proceeded
to stiffen his vertebra and kick Mac
Corkle simply wouldn't have it. Henry
G. Davis wanted It. So that the DEM
ocratIc state convention of 1900 opened
and proceeded with not solitary word
of comfort or defense for the last ad-
mlnistratlon Of Democracy. /. was
sorry, sad spectacle. Mr.. Davis, the
chairman. never once mentioned state
politics, and his address, which was
haltlng. stammering attempt to explain
why the Democratic party afforded an
asylum for the negative elements of the
nation.
II the Democratic party in West Viz
glnla can afford to enter a campaign
with this sort OF an arrangement. GER
tainly the Republicans can have Moth
Ing to fear. -- j. II. S.
