How Patty Gave Thanks-Can Ants
Hearf-A Kind Father-Days
and Nights.

All, how snug 1t was In the barn that
cold November night! Farmer Gray
shut all the DOORS as II 1t We're winter,
and then went away, glad to think that
the animals were warm and comforta-
BILE for the night.
No sooner had the sound Of his foot
steps died away than cow raised her
head and gave faint below. ''NewsT
said she. News! Something beauti-
full happened to me today. 1t was just
before l was turned out into the field
this morning. Little Patty came run
ming up to me and began to stroke my
forehead. You good old cow! said
she. Il had some milk to drink at
breakfast. and l know who gave 1t to
me, and so 1 have come to say ''Thank
your Mother told me this morning
that this was Thankful day." And
then the dear child put n delicious ap
pie into my mouth and laughed to hear
me crunch 1t. l am SO glad that my
milk is good and rich! And she thank

you say well, Neighbor Cow; n
grateful child she is," said the farm
horse. Il was in the stall Just before
they harnessed me to take the family
to church, and little Patty came to see
me, too, and she thanked me for all
the rides she had had on my back and
in the hay cart and for dragging the
plow and for bringing the flour from
the mill. Then, bless her heart, she
reached up and gave me big mouth
full of sweet smelling hay. l tell you,
I'll trot my prettiest the next time ]
have her In the carriage. 1t was her
good little heart that put 1t into her
head" said Bob wisely, land / think
l know the reason why she came to-
day, for as l was trotting along the
road to and from school l heard the
family talking a good deal about today
being Thanksgiving day, and when
Patty's grandpa asked her If she knew
why Thanksgiving day was kept she
said: oh, yes! 1t is the day to say
'Thank you" for everything, and that
is why l hurried out to the barn this
morning. And to whom did you say
THANK you" out there? asked her
grandpa. why, to all Of them an
swered Patty, to Bob and Mooly Cow
and the sheep and the hens Very
good said grandpa; very good indeed,
little thankful heart. l am glad you
thought of the kind, useful creatures
from whom we get so many things for
our pleasure and comfort "
AS Bob repeated what Patty's grand
pa had said sober Ulro, Fleecy and
Mooly Cow heaved sigh Of deep sat

pleasant to any ears. When they all
went to sleep, they spoke of how hap

tins from the oven or top of the stove
is apparent to all, as many accidental
burns and perhaps the spilling Of the

prevented by Its use. Among num-
Der of devices recently designed for
this purpose that of John f. Neal seems
to be the most convenient and simple

POOH BAHS IN CHINA.
TFrom the london MALL


Some idea of the work of the avera ge
Chinese official will be gathered from the
following statement made by an eminent
Chinese statesman to an interpreter.
The interpreter states: Il once asked a
member Of the Chinese cabinet who was
complaining of fatigue and overwork for
an account of his daily routine. He re-
pied that he left home every morning at
o'clock, as he was on duty at the pal
ace from to 6. AS a member of the privy
council he was engaged on that body from
until g. From o until IL he was at the
war department, of which he was EreSi-
dent, and, being member of the board of
punishment, he was in attendance at the
office of that body daily from IL until 2.
AS one of the senior ministers of the for
eign office he spent every day from till
or in the afternoon there. These were
his regular daily duties, and, in addition
to them, he was frequently appointed to
serve on special boards or commissions,
and these he sandWiched in between the
others as he could. He seldom reached
home before in the evening.
1t should be added, however, that the
Chinese idea of hard work is not quite the
same as the English idea. The. Chinese
official undoubtedly spends long hours at
guide. Perhaps the busiest department in
the Chinese government is the board of
punishment, which reviews the sentence
pronounced by Chinese judges in all parts
of the empire. Naturally, therefore, the
work is rather heavy, but in other de-
partments eating and drinking is the chief
business of the day.

MIR. GLADsT0NE'S RETORT.

dustin Mccarthy, Chambers Journal
Mr.. Gladstone was not usually re-
garded as a wit, and he certainly did
not set up for one, yet have heard him
say, at one time or another, things
which consider to be witty. Many
years ago, when residing in Liverpool,
I was present one evening at meeting
at which Mr.. Gladstone appeared as
the advocate of the candidature of his
brother-in-law, Sir Stephen Glynne, who
was at that time standing for the rep
resentation in parliament of a neigh
boring county. At the moment when
Mr.. Gladstone had finished his speech
a shabby-looking, unkempt. and ragged
man thrust himself forward to the front
of the meeting and insisted on asking
Mr. Gladstone question He wanted
to know whether Mr.. Gladstone would
not hold his brother-in-law bound to
follow him in every course he proposed
to take whenever he, Mr. Gladstone,
should become prime minister. The OBJ
ject of the mans question was obvious
ly to discredit Sir Stephen Glynne and
to show him up as the mere nominee
and instrument of his illustrious
brother-in-law. There were some angry
Interruptions, and there were also many
scornful cries of Don't answer him.
from, the audience. But Mr.. Gladstone,
having first stilled the noise by a wave
of his hand, and then fixed his eyes on
the rude questioner, said in his blandest
manner, Il shall hold my brother-in-
law bound to follow me when 1 am
prime minister so long as / adopt
course which tends to the welfare of the
people; and / shall hold him bound to
lister, so long as you adopt a course
that tends to the same great result"
I need not say that the interrupter
thereafter remained silent.
