welcome by the genial presence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kimball. And ten neighbors peeped
out from behind ten curtains and eJaculat-
ed MY! they have Thanksgiving COM
pany."
But Mrs Kimball hustled these flowers
into the parlor something after the fashion
of an afore-time occasion, saying as she did
so: "Chrysanthea will be here shortly, and
want this surprise to be complete
And Jack Beverly was saying as he walked
home with Chrysanthea: This is such
sweet surprise; and tomorrow is your
birthday! Could anything be completer"
"And / promised to bring mamma a sur.
prise if | could find one" said Chrysanthea,
as she opened the hall door few minutes
later.
Mammal" she called, opening the par
lor door, 81 brought you a surprise; come
and see it"
"You come here moment first, DEAR"
came the reply. 81 also have surprise;
come and see; then j will enjoy your sur
prise"
Jack motioned her to go in, while he
waited in the hall.
ooh, girs" exclaimed Chrysanthea, as
her classmates rose to greet her, "Ive want
ed to see you so much!" and they laughed
and cried together.
After greetings had been exchanged in
genuine schoolgirl fashion and Papa and
Mamma Kimball had reached the seventh
heaven of delight, Chrysanthea said: "Wait
minute; I'll bring my surprise right in"
Mamma" she said, as she presented the
radiant Jack, "here is the biggest and incest
surprise l could find, Mr.. Jack Beverly,
physician and surgeon of this city, and your
prospective son-in-law.
"And girls" she added, shyly, her face
shining with an inner thanksgiving, ''you
all knew Jack in Berea."
30, yes, yes;" they exclaimed in happy
chorus, "but, Chrysanthea, dear, it seems
you knew him best"
Thus in glad, impromptu manner Jack
Beverly was presented to his friends and
prospective relations and the stately Miss
Kmball proved herself to be equal to sweet
surprises at least.
And it is safe to say that no happier din
ner party could have been found in all Rose
rock that lovely November day than that
one which sat down to dinner at the Kim
ball home, hedged in by bank of cream
and white chrysanthemums

room will be magnifcently yet simply dec
Grated for tomorrow" she said, her fine
eyes taking in the wealth of bloom at one ap-
preciative sweep.
She was her mothers daughter; the bios.

thea had a leaf in her heart chapter which,
in some way, had been left out or turned
over blank in the bosom of her fond mann
ma. She had a penchant for looking after
the poor and her father gave her a beau
tiful compliment when he said that "his
daughter was just like all other flowers, as
ready to bloom for the poor as for the
wealthy"
Nothing was ever truer than this;
and as Chrysanthea drank in the quiet, rich
beauty of the blossom bank, thought of
the bare cherries cellar room on Brisbane
street, where, day after day, child tossed
from one side to the other with the pain
and restlessness of long illness, came to her
and she said: 30, mamma, | must take
some of this beauty and comfort to poor lit.

changed into one of thanksgiving
Benjamin Franklin relates that in time
of great dependency among the first set
tiers of New England it was proposed in one
of their public meetings to proclaim fast.
An aged farmer rose and spoke of provok-
ing Heaven with their complaints and of the
many mercies they had received and of the
causes they had for giving thanks. He then
made a motion that, instead of appointing
a day of fasting, they should appoint day
of thanksgiving. To this the assembly read
lily agreed.

nies TO appoint an annual Thanksgiving by

of the blessings which have crowned the
year is question which, we are told, re-
quires individual answer. Advocates of the
great college game claim that the innovation
is harmless, yet not even the most enthn-
siastic among them venture the assertion
that it has a tendency to make anyone feel
grateful for the Pounties Providence has
bestowed upon him. There are many ways
of showing gratitude, but the old-fashioned
way of thanking the Lord in His house
seems, after all, to be the best and most
elevating.

According to figures posted Fitzsim-
mons is 2 to 1 favorite over the sailor,
but there are few found willing to take
the odds.
Johnny White, who believes Sharkey
Will win, bet $500 today on the sailor
. against $3.50.
Johnny Consdine is a Fitzsimmons man
and last night managed to get down
$1,000 against $500 on the ex-champion.
Time has wrought many changes in the
pugilistic situation since the sailor and
the Cornishman clashed on the Pacific
coast. Fitzsimmons has won the world s
championship and lost 1t again. Sharkey
although defeated a few times, has main
~tained his right to be regarded as cham
pionship possibility. If tomorrow night
were Fitzsimmons' first fight in a long
time, references would be made to the
Handicap Of years" But the Cornishman
showed recently that he is still young
enough to take care of fighter like
Rubin and as a consequence the average
wise is not so sure that Sharkey's age adj
vantage counts for much. Another thing
Is that some doubt exists as to the in
roads made on Sharkey's stock Of vitality
by successive beatings.
Many of those who consider Fitzsim-
mons a 10 to 6 favorite seem to believe
the fiercer the pace at the outset the bet
ter IT will be for Sharkey. The argu-
ment principally used in support OF this
view is that FYtzsimmons left himself
we'll open in the first round of his go with
Rubin. and that If he displays similar
tactics with the Sailor he is liable to
bump into a stiff punch. One is led to
infer from this style of reasoning that
If Fitzsimmons worries through couple
Of rounds he will have passed the danger
point; that the Sailors best bolts Will
have been shot and the Cornishnan's
chances of winning will improve right
along. The Sailor has been trained so
as to step into the ring in shape to put
I'D a smashing fight He says he was
over trained for Rubin. He can make
no excuses this time. Fitzsimmons also
has done all that he could to make him.
self fit and strong, and he has taken on
weight recently.
Here is what the two principals have to
say about the matter. Fitzsimmons Is
quoted as follows:
"Sharkey is unqestionably a Very
plucky fellow, and you have got to
knock him cold in order to make sure
that he remains down on the boards long
enough to be counted out, but III ind
no trouble IN accomplishing that feat"
Sharkey is quoted as saying:
Those fellows who are running away
with the idea that F1tzsimmons Is go
blow and do the trick right off the reel
are very much mistaken"
