Yet It is a fact that some wen known

II Was a Thanksgiving Day, ana the

one OF the most famous Of the old
Puritan dIvines was DR.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 1T06 and
who WINS the first pastor OF the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to which
he mInistered for more than 40 years.
DIR. Byles was famous us humorist
md wit, and innumerable anecdotes
nre related of his clever quips and re-
torts. He WINS n Jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause Of tho
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, 1TT7, he was arrested as
n Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board n guard ship
md sent to England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was aft
erward committed by the board OF war
to confinement in his own house, a
guard being placed over him with In
etructions not to permit him to leave
his residence for moment un6S any
circumstances.
on Thanksgiving morning, observing
that the sentinel, who, like many Of the
colonial soldiers, was simple rustic,
had disappeared and that DIR. Byles
himself was pacing up and down be-
fore his own door with n musket on his
shoulder, the neighbors crossed. the
street to inquire the cause OF this SIN
gular spectacle.
"You see," said DR.. Byles, 81 begged
my guard to let me so out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day, but he would not permit me to
stir. argued the point with him, and
he has now gone TO get the cider for me

Two Of the most elaborate and curl
GUS watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth and
her unfortunate contemporary, Mary,
queen OF Scots. Good Queen Bess had'
a watch made for her in the form OF q
duck, with beautifully chased feathers,

gilt design, and the whole was kept In
n case OF brass, covered with black
leather thIckly studded with big silver
knobs.

over, was bell which had works Of It's
own and by means Of which n hammer
struck out the hours upon It.
One OF the choicest rarities OF the

watch. This curious time Indicator was
made by order of BoGIslaus XIV. Duke
Of Pomeranla, in the time Of Gustnyus
Adolphus. on the face OF the book

there is an engraved inscription Of the
duke and his titles and armorial bear

the back the engravIngs are also very
finely and sklllfully executed, among
them being the portraits Of two gentle
men OF the seventeenth century. Tho

while the Insides are beautifully chased
with figures Of birds and foliage. The
watch has two separate movements ana

for a lawyer to work for a corpora

There have been populists who

just the straight cold honest fact:
