Thackeray created quite erroneous
impressions Of himself by often indulg-
ing in irony in the presence of people
who were incapable of understanding
IL. one curious instance which he gave
was this: Thackeray had been dining
at the Garrick and was talking in the
smoking room after dinner with vari-
Gus club acquaintance. One of them
happening TO have left his cigar case
at howe, Thackeray, though disliking
the man. who was a notorious tuft
hunter, good naturedly offered him one
of his cigars. The man accepted the
cigar, but, not finding Ii TO his liking.
had the bad taste to say to Thackeray,
Il say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying / don't think much of this
cigarT Thackeray, no doubt irritated
at the mans ungraciousness and bear
ing in mind his tuft hunting predilec-
tons, quietly responded, You ought
to. my good fellow, for it was given
me by lord" Instead, however, of
detecting the irony. the dolt immedl-
ately attributed the remark to snobbish-
ness ON Thackeray's part and 10 the
end of his days went about declaring
that ''Thackeray had boosted that he
had been given cigar by lord"

A professor who acted as chairman
of meeting at which Max O'Rell was
to lecture introduced the Frenchman
in the following manner:
Ladies' and gentlemen, when we
wish to see ourselves as individuals
we have recourse TO the mirror. This
we cannot do as a nation. take
pleasure in introducing a gentleman
who will act as French mirror, by
means of which you will. l am sure,
obtain an adequate and pleasing view
of yourselves as a nation"
The introduction pleased O'Rell, and
he responded in vein as jovial: II
am requested to reflect on nation.
However, | must take second place 10
the man in the moon, for he reflects
on the earth. AS an imported French
mirror l shall do the best | can to give
you correct picture of the nation.
And if your chairman remains where
he is, in the background, he will add
greatly to the reflective power of the
mirror

There is charming story told of the
great French painter Corot. Being
hospitable he frequently assembled his
friends to dinner, and dish of had
dock and potatoes, which everybody
hated. invariably followed the soup.
The friends. who thought Corot par
tial to the dish, always gave it when
he dined with them. At last, in reply
to the painters que r. they admitted
that they detested the dish. but sup
posed he liked 1t.
Corot was grinning broadly. my
Gear fellow. If you only knew how /
hate the sight of it even. But Adele,
my cook, simply adores paddock and
potatoes. And it is no good-I dare not
go against her wishes. 1t is as much
as my place is worth. Not for worlds
would my awe of Adele induce me to
undeceiye her as regards the value /
attach to this one particular article of
diet"
And for the sake of Adele this little
group of great painters had for thirty
years been eating a dish they could
none of them bear.

PASADENA. CAL Oct. l6, 1908.
Dear Aunt Madge:
Yes. Aunt Madge. as / think of 1t, the autumn
leaves are falling thick and fast in your door
yard, j believe; but have not seen leaves fall
as they do there for more than a quarter of a
century; but the other day we made some mtnce
meat in memory of autumnal times, ana this is
how we made IT.
We used pounds meat, about quarts
apples, pound raisins, y pound citron, y cup
vinegar. cups molasses, pinch of salt, and
spices, wine and brandy to suit the taste all
put together in the good old way. by zellle and
Rhonie, two New England damsels.
Yesterday We tested the quality in three pies
which proved to be /. SUSAN.
Well! IL you had read the last weeks
AMERICAN, my dear Susan, or had re-
membered that court "sets" in October in
Hancock county, you would have left out
the last two ingredients from your recipe.
In THE AMERICAN of Oct. 81, we read :;
"out of the thirty-eight liquor indict-
ments found, very few will be tried. Most
of the respondents cannot be found"
But, "Susan," think we shall find the
recipe all right minus the latter ingre-
dents, and thank you for it and the let
ter also.
Yes, the leaves have been rolling and
dancing across my yard sin their dresses
gold and brown. / do not wonder
you are so accustomed to perpetual bloom
that you can scarcely realize what the
words ''leafiess trees" mean. But we
have had some charming October days!

HOME is WHERE MOTHER Is.

heard little child say the other day Home
is where my mamma is.'' Certainly the pres
ence of my mother made my fathers home.
We did not hear OF divorces SO often In those
days as we do now. distinctly remember that
my mothers voice was always lowered when
she said: "she is divorced"
am not SO sure but we need in broader
sense "mother's day.. when SO much Is made of
the mother, when the father will say lovingly to
the daughters: "Do all you can for your
mother" when they will not need to have it
said.
We are creatures of imitation. If the chill
dren see that their father thinks that mother is
always right (maybe she isn'), It will help her
to being nearer right to have her husband think
she is, for somehow we try TO be what others
think we are.
have been used to an atmosphere of praise
of course / have often known that did not
deserve it, but 1t has been helpful to me. Never
theless, am sure I should be far verse If /
hadn't had it.
i startled friend some time ago by saying
that In my family of four sisters and three
brothers We did not know of an experience of
an unkind word passing between us. Why
should there be? Are we not brothers and sis
ters, and have not we the memory of our beau
tiful mother and father?
OH no; life is sad enough without having that
unnecessary sadness, but maybe we were
favored in not having any money left US. We
all had our own legacy from our mother. Mine
was: "Be still and know that / am God"
am sorry these days for those who are eager
TO have great deal of money. 1t is a delusion
to think that 1t takes extreme wealth to have
happiness. do not often hear the prayer my
father offered almost every day for more years
than / can remember "Give me neither
poverty nor riches; feed me with food con-
venient for met" And his prayer was answered,
and he died rich in character and in the love of
many friends. Selected By "AnR".
There is variety of lessons for us in
this last article, and each of you who read
it will find some point in it to consider.

The Man Who Knew 1t All.

A Sixth avenue groceryman's boy ap-
peared on the curb with rat trap in
his hand. Twenty pedestrians stopped
at once and three dogs barked and
leaped at the prisoner.

Say, bub," interposed a fat man
with cane as he pushed his way into
the crowd, have you had any expert
ence with rats? There's only one way
to handle 'em. Let me take the trap"
With bad grace the boy surrendered
1t, and while some one held the fat
mans cane he held the trap high over
the street. When the spring door was
opened six or seven dogs were waiting,
and the rat didn't like the looks of
things. He sprang from the door. twist

jumped to the fat mans shoulder.
The crowd noisily fell back The fat
man yelled. The dogs butted In One
dog got the rat and four dogs got the
fat mans legs. When that gentleman
arose, his silk hat ruined, he demanded
his cane. The holder had disappeared.

And the fat man steamed fussily

GOOD For AN Denomination..

If the principles of outspoken devo-
ton to Christ, service for Christ, con-
slant loyalty to Christ's church and
constant fellowship with Christ's peo-
pie are good for the Presbyterians. they
are good for the Methodists; if they are
useful TO the CongregationaIists and
Disciples of Christ, they are equally
good for the Baptists and Lutherans.
Because there is nothing of sectarian
bias in the name or the principles of
Christian Endeavor, it is, l believe, a
God ordained common denomination be-
tween the denominations. Rev. DIR.
Clark in Presidents Annual Address at
Denver Convention.

Experience of Roy Getchell, OF Ban
gor, With Deer.

Roy c. Geiebe /, II Ba"gos tex dermist,
and one of the we'll Known unter. OF The
state, had rather peculiar X erienee
with large buck near Branch pond re-
Gently, which, he admits, beats anything
of the kind he ever heard Of.
Getchell was out for deer and was
about three miles from camp when be
ran across a small black bear aud shot 1t.
He had taken but few shells with him
and had fired several at cartridges, so
when be shot the bear, which took two
bullets to silence, be found be had but
one cartridge left in his trusty 303,
Savage.
As he was standing by the bear he saw
partridge fly up and light on the branch
of tree. Without stopping to think be
brought up his rifle and neatly severed
the head of the bird from its body. He
went to pick the partridge up and upon
turning around there stood a large buck
deer.
Up went the rifle again, but he suddenly
remembered he had just discharged bis
| last shell. He stood and looked at the
frightened and was stamping its feet,
blowing and shifting in the direction Of
the dead bear.
Wondering what the deer would do,
| Getchell stood still. Presently the buck
walked up to the bear and began to sniff
OF 1t. Getchell went toward the animal
and he thought be would see how near
Imagine his surprise when he walked
right up and put his hand ON the deer
which seemed not the least scared.
The bear was a small one, weighing but
about LBS pounds, and Getchell had been
| wondering how he was to get ii to camp,
| not caring to carry il the three miles to
camp. When he put his hand on the buck
a sudden idea occurred to him. Why not
make the deer carry the bear?
Taking out some cod line which he al
ways carried in his pocket to tie up any
game which he might shoot, he broke
stick SO that it was about six inches long,
sttsched the cod line to the ends and in-
serted 1t into the bucks mouth for a bit
tying 1t to his nose.
Holding the improyised reins in one
hand he stopped, picked up the cub and
laid 1t on the back OF the buck. With
the exception of little jumping and
snorting the deer didn't seem to mind
and readily trotted down the path, being
guided by the bit in his mouth.
When camp was reached the bear was
taken off, the bit united and the buck
! Eca IN nered off int n the woods
'No, sirl" says Getcheil, "Pm never
going to shoot another deer as long as |
live after the good work that buck did"

Topic For the week Beginning Nov.
s-CoSamcnt by Rev. :. IL Doyle.
Topic.-Great men OF the Bible. What
Elijas teaches us.-II Kings H. liz;
Ma XII. A.; Jas. v, II. Is
Elijah the prophet was a native OF
Tishbeh, In Gilead- His parentage and
early history are unknown. nor have
we any systematic account OF the life
OF Elijah such as we have of Joseph,
Moses and David. "He bursts upon
our view without previous notice aid
disappears by miracle" His life and
character were noted for their bold
ness and ruggedness. God used him
nightly in the reign of the wicked
Ahab ard In him has exemplifed the
sternness Of character that should
adorn his people in the midst of pc
rlods of great moral decline among the
people OF the world.
/. Elijah's translation Gil Kings ii.
biz. Elijah was one of the two men
fn the worlds history who have passed
from this life without tasting death.
God translated Enoch and Elijah alone
Of the worlds inhabitants. and Elijah

ing with Moses upon the mount at the
time of the TRANSPORTATION of Christ.
But while God does not remove His
people generally in any miraculous
way He does remove from them the
fear of death. which amounts prac-
tically to the same blessing. When we
can say with the psalmist, Yea,
A. II IL To- h. af ha
shadow Of death. l will fear no evil.
for Thou art with me; Thy rod and
Tby staff they comfort me-" we are
equally blessed with Elijah. Death
me greatest enemy of mankind, has
been overcome by Christ. He burst
the bonds of death asunder and gives
His people freedom from its fear and
d-ead.
2. Elijah and John the Baptist
(Matt. II, I'D OF John the Baptist
Jesus said, IF you will receive it this
b Elijah which was for to come. y
John, however. was not Elijah rein
earnated, and we find here no support
fbr the reincarnation doctrine Or the
false claims of such men as Dewie
John resembled Elijah in life and char
acter. His age was similar, morally
and spiritually, to that OF the prophet
md God used his stern boldness to
call His people TO repentance. Ou1
-0wn age is not without some tendencies
tpward the effeminate luxuries and
sassy morality of those of Elijah and
John, and we may do well, therefore
10 cultivate the stern qualities that
they possessed.
8. Elijah's faith JAS. V, II, lS). By
faith, through prayer, Elijah control
led the rain for three years and a
half! He prayed that it might not rain
and 1t rained not He prayed for rain
and 'the heaven gave rain and the
earth brought forth her fruit" Yet he
was but "a man. subject TO like pas
gions as we are" He was nothing
but his faith was strong in God, who
Il everything. The prayer Of faith
still prevails, for God is 1.-The same
yesterday, today and forever" There
fore let us take advantage Of the
blessings and privileges vouchsafed tc
rs upon the conditions of faith and
prayer.
