to her husband, "carve the turkey and

children how that hole came in the pew
ter platter.
snow that platter, you see, children,
was brought over from England by your
great, great, great grandfather, who was
one of the passengers on the MaytoWer.
He settled down there at Massachusetts
BAY and became one of the elders of the
church. The Indians were thick all about
the settlement and the men carried their
guns with them even to church. one
Thanksgiving day while the family were
at church the Indians broke into your
great, great, great grandfather's log cab
In and carried off everything they could
lay their hands on. Among the things
they stole was this pewter platter. The
old chief, Sonnawish, had the platter and
he made up his mind that it was intended
to be used as a shield. SO when he saw
the people coming through the woods
from the Thanksgiving service he held
the platter up in front of him and ran
out into the open, yelling and making
insulting gestures at your great, great,
great grandfather. And your great, great,
great grandfather drew bead on the In
dian chief and killed him with a single
shot. That is the hole through which the
bullet passed"

went with every dish. The turkey always
came to the table on a huge pewter plat

Of the Mayfower's cargo owned by Aunt

platter was a little round hole, through
which the gravy sometimes dripped on to

In veal, mutton and lamb the lowest bit
of meat on the leg, the hook, is the
choice piece, being very tender and juicy.
Tongue should be cut in slanting slices,
as thin as waters. Ham, likewise, should
be shaved rather than sliced toward the
bone. When one understands the exact
location of joints and the grains of meats
the rest of carving Is easily acquired.

The Turkeys Lament.

I'm a melancholy turkey,-sad am l,
For a reign of awful terror draweth nigh.
How l dread the smell of pie,
And the cakes and tarts piled high,
For | know that l must die
Thanksgiving Day.
What avail my sparkling eyes, just like Jet,
Or my slim and stately neck, proudly set!
Though my glossy feathers shine,
On my flesh will people dine,
And pronounce me-luScious-hne,
Thanksgiving Day.
How l wish had been Matched some other
bird,
Chicken, goose, duck or dove'd be preferred
Any fowl but what | am,
In this land of Uncle SAM"
For I'm slaughtered like lamb

How l sympathize with Marie Antoinette,
How that dark and bloody AK haunts me yet
Soon on my neck, twill descend,
Make of me sudden end.
Was sadder verse e'er penned,

MuSSey PardOned,

The sensation of the week has been the
pardoning of Mussey, the Rutland bank
defaulter, which was secured from Presi-
dent Mckinley through the influence of a
New York pardon expert who does this
work for consideration. Our news col
umns give the facts in this story, and to
say it was surprise is stating it very
mildly. The state press, including Mus.
sey's home paper, does not attempt to
defend the pardon, and it is about as
fimsy an exhibition of justice as Yer
mont has seen for many a day. Evil
dence was submitted to the President
that Mussey was saint and that Nc
Clure was sinner and the latter stays
in the House of Correction to fill out his
term and Mussey is a free man. The
ancients represented Justice as blindfold-
ed, but in this case Justice has been
hoodwinked.

A New Idea in History,
one

Cincinnati pupils in the public schools
will be treated to a new idea in history
next season. Each class will have access
to some history written by a Southern
author. Superintendent of Schools Boone
says of the plan:
This will enable the pupil to learn the
feelings on both sides during the civil
war, and to form broader conclusions
than if his education were limited to the
ideas of either faction alone, the teacher
guiding to the ultimate conclusion. The
trouble in many cases in this country is
that if boy lives in the South he learns
nothing of the ideas of the North on the
great question of history and similar
criticism is true in the North.

r1rs. Mckinley and Gen. Grant.

Brigadier General Frederick D. Grant
recently returned to this country from
the Philippines on leave of absence, and
told how eager many of the Filipinos are
to observe American holidays, to wear
American clothes, and to honor the
American government. The resemblance
OF the general, in appearance, to his ia
nous father is very striking, and espec-
tally when he is in military uniform.
Gen. Grant has just passed his ffty-frst
year and is himself graduate of West
Point. His career has been curiously
varied. He was for time colonel of
cavalry; afterward he was United minis
ter to Austria still later he became one
of the police commissioners of New York
City, during the war with Spain he was
once more colonel; then he was made
a brigadier- general Of volunteers, and
recently was advanced to the same rank
in the regular army.
In connection with his appointment to
his present rank a pretty story is told
that illustrates the kindly heart of Mrs.
Mckinley. AS the president and she sat
talking one evening, Mr.. Mckinley told
her that he had that day decided to give
Gen Grant this last advance, and Mrs.
Mckinley expressed her pleasure at
learning of the intended promotion, and
added: Don't you think, dear, that it
would be nice to send a note to Mrs.
Grant, telling her that you had decided
to appoint her son? 1t would be so
much nicer for her to get it direct from
you than to read the official announce
ment in the papers. can imagine how
mother would like to know OF her sons
promotion" The president agreed, and,
going to writing table, he penned a
little note, stating that, at Mrs. McKin.
ley's request, be wrote to tell Mrs. Grant
that he would take pleasure on the fol-
lowing day in appointing her son Fred
to the rank OF brigadier-general in the
regular army. Mrs. Grant, the venera-
able and beloved widow of the great SOL
der and statesman, was greatly touched
by Mrs. McKinley's thoughtiulness OF
her, Saturday Evening Post.

A Much Titled Man,

The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and
York, who are now making tour of the
British possessions, in various parts OF
the globe, will pay Canada parts an
extended visit in the fall. Preparations
are already under way to give them a
welcome BETTING their high station. 1t
is said that Americans are anticipating
the event by engaging the best quarters
in many Canadian hotels for the time of
the dukes visit. The royal traveller is
well burdened with titles, the correct
form of addressing him being: His
Royal Highness George Frederick Ernest
Albert, Duke of Cornwall, Duke Of York,
Earl of Inverness, and Baron Killarney,
P. c., X. g., K. T., G. c. M. G., G. C.V
o., LII. D., D. c. L." In drawing up ad.
dresses of welcome to His Royal High
ness it is customary to make reference in
the body of address to Her Royal High
ness the Duchess of Cornwall and York.

go, N. Y, June IS. He was born at
Ticonderoga in 1888; his father was a
farmer. He prepared for college at
Phillips Academy, Andover and entered
Yale, but later went to Harvard where
he graduated in 1865, Then he went to
Andover and took high rank in a course
in theology. He was licensed to preach
but always declined invitations to be-
come a pastor. He was the author of
several books on religious topics which
were widely read but his chief fame
rests on his series of Monday noon lee
lures in fremont Temple, Boston. These
were principally upon the relations be-
tween science and religion and attracted
large audiences to the temple. These
dlscourses were afterwards published in
ten volumes. The lectures attracted the
attention OF the world and resulted in a
lecture tour OF the globe. During recent |
years his popularity with church people |
has waned somewhat because of some Of |
his theories, and during the past six
years impaired health has kept him from
active work a considerable portion of the
time, although last winter he resumed

A little Russian girl named Tyna
Holman became a pupil in the Wells
Grammar School, of Boston last autumn.
She did not know a word OF English,
but she could speak little French and
Spanish and her own native tongue
fiuently. She was placed in the lowest
grade in the school, but in very few
weeks her teacher thought that she
would probably gain more in the next
higher grade. This was repeated until
the principal advanced her to the highe est
class in the school. When it came time
for the last examination and the diploma
list was made out, the name of this little
girl, who entered the Wells School in the
fall in the lowest grade. was among the
list of graduates, and with honors, too.
Thus she made the four years course in
one.

Rev. Charles O. Day has Jared well in
the matter of honorary degrees from

him an NJ. A. and following the example
of a Western college, Dartmouth last
week conferred D. D. upon him. Now
he is entitled to wear after his name, B.
A., M. A., D, D. While this is very
pleasing to his Vermont friends, it is
likely that they will continue to think
and speak of him as plain "Chaplain
