pictured, hat in hand, restoring to a

Why any one should ever have de-
sired to own or to visit an aquarium
is a mystery. The view of fish, except
when nicely grilled or when suspended
at the end of a fishing line. is one Of
the most uninteresting of sights. The
other animals when in confinement dis
play traits which are more or less in
teresting The lion has a sense of hu-
NOR and displays it in the most pleas
ing way when he devOurs the lion
tanner who has entered too often into
his cage. The bear In his thirst for
buns seems SO much like the human
boy that the spectator of his antics
frequently feels an irresistible desire
TO hit him with a stick.
But the fish has not a single inter-
esting trait. He will swim around the
tank in which he is confined with a
persistence which Is maddening to the
nervous spectator. He never engages
in a genuine fight, but contents himself
with an occasional surreptitiOus bite
Of an enemy's tail, which gives no true
satisfaction to the beholder. If he
happens to be large snake thinly dis
guised as an eel or an octopus or some
other alarmingly ugly fish. he will
sometimes swim directly at the glass
through which the visitor is looking at
him and thereby give the latter no
mentary sensation Of horror, but the
average fish cares nothing for the pub
lie and treats his visitors with calm
contempt An aquarium without fish.
like seashore resort without the sea,
is unobjectionable. but an aquarium
with real water and real fish Is the
dreariest object in nature.-W. L. Al

Some years ago a man ran up q bill
Of $500 In the fremont House. Chica-

it. The trunk which remained in his
room was unusually heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens Of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines of Col
orado. where presumably he had lost
all his money. After waiting out the
legal time Mr.. Gage sent the contents
Of the trunk to an assayer. who return
ed two bits Of metal valued at more
than 500 in excess of the bill after
deducting his own fees.

There was a lawyer In the Indian
country who had none too good a repu-
tation for honesty, says the Chicago
News.
One of the aborigines employed him
to do little legal business. 1t was
done to the clients satisfaction, the
fee duly paid and a receipt for it duly
demanded. "A receipt isn't necessa-
ry," the lawyer said. But l want it."
replied the red man. There was some
argument, and the attorney finally de-
manded his reason. "Since becoming
a Christian 1 have been very careful
In all my dealings that may be ready
for the judgment" answered the brave
sententiously, "and when that day
comes don't want to take time to 60
to the bad place to get my receipt from
you" The receipt was made out and
promptly delivered.

John Allen was known as "the wit

yawning. Finally he stretched out

into this discussion. There are 50 days

a sort of common consent have seen

communion with those who are bone Of

of Thanksgiving? May not the happy
hearts and glad faces of these home
gatherers be a pleasanter sight in
Gods eyes than the spectacle Of long
and solemn-faced couples going to
church to sing solemn psalms. In any
event one may not sacrifice any spirit
OF gratitude to the good God for His
mercies because his heart is glad and
warm in the surroundings Of a loved
and 1ovable home.
Yet blessed is that nation whose
God is the Lord, and it was a happy
suggestion that came to the great Lin
c1on to nationalize one day of the year
in which to praise the Lord because He
is God, and to give thanks to His holy
name for mercies that endure from
generation to generation.

THANKSGIVING ON THE NILE.
Barton County democrat., 1903-11-27

Thanksgiving day, known nowhere
else than in the United 4. ates, as a
national institution, is OF decided mod
ern invention. President: Lincoln, just
40 years ago, was moved by the great
victories of Gettysburg, Vicksburg,
and other points, these coming thick
and fast after so many previous disas-
ters, to designate day in which the
people of the entire nation might meet
and render thanks to God. This first
national Thanksgiving day was designed
to be distinctly religious in Its character,
and the intent of the president was un-
derstood and carried out by the people
The churches of the cities and towns
and villages were filed that day with
fathers and mothers and sisters who
offered grateful prayers to God for the
victories won and for the preservation
of their loved ones who moved daily
amid scenes of imminent danger.
True, the Thanksgiving day idea
dates back of this. The Aandful OF
Pilgrims in Massachusetts,, in the year
following their landing at Plymouth,
met in their church in obedience to
the governors proclamation to return
thanks for a generous harvest In
termittently thereafter for many years,
and then regularly each year, the day
was commemorated, spreading through
out the New England states. 1t did
not reach New York state until 1921,
and was regarded indifferently by many
states until Lincoln gave it national
standing
Washington did make two Thanks
giving proclamations, but only at the
suggestion of the congress. Two sub
sequent presidents fatty declined to is
sue such proc1amations, insisting that
the silence of the constitution as to re-
ligion forbade any such exercise of
power by the chief executive.
Hence, it is within reason and right
to say that Thanksgiving day, as ma
tiona1 festival, began in 1863, and was
instituted by President Lincoln.
But by rapid process of evolution
the religious feature, that which gave
rise to the day, has been diminished
In larger cities but a limited number
of churches open their doors for serv-
ices, while in the smaller ones single
house of worship will conduct what is
termed "union service" for all denom-
nations. Usually there are many va
cant pews in those churches that are
opened.
The day has developed into home"
day, one in which the loved ones meet
with glad hearts, and doubtless thank
other that it is as well with them as
1t is. Those who live at q distance,
