A GOOSE THAT CAME BACK
BY Hezekiah Buaeerworth

NF the old sailor-tales, or "whopper
" Stories, of the New-England coast
n excited a livelier imagination
Thanksgiving afternoons and on red
settles by driftwood fires han the
following OF a goose that came back:
1t was in the days of the conquest
of the whale. a whale-ship lay off
a port in Maine, waiting to put out to
sea. People were hurrying to and fro,
making presents to the sailor-boys, kiss
ing and shaking hands for the last time.
a poor widow stood in tn. open door
under the dry morning glory vines.
Her boy Jack was among the sailors.
Jack" she said, as they were about
to part, Il am too poor to have anything
to give you-Heaven pity vel but |
love you just the same Here. give me
a smack 1t is too bad to have you
go away with no parting present, a
likely lad like you"
"Honki"
Here, hear that cade-goose. raised
her for Thanksgiving, and old June
of B~atterymarch, who sees things in
the night, said that that gosling would
make the greatest Thanksgiving ever
known in the port. Here, here, you
take her along with you-how the boys
will laugh"
She caught the c~ade-goose by the
neck, Just as the bird was about to
express its establishment at all the
hurry. the shouting and confusion.
And the boys did laugh when they
saw the Jack coming on board with the
finest present of them all.
Jack dropped the goose On the deck
metallic tone. The boys all cheered
for Jacks good mother.
The latter waved her handkerchief
and sat down on the doorstep, threw
her apron over her head and cried:
That gosling will never go to the
dough-dish under the sink any more, "
said she. We shall have no Thanks
giving goose for dinner; but Jack will.
That makes me happy. The only r
happiness is that which we find within.
My heart shall be happy on Thanks
giving Day for Jacks sake. Jacks
heart was always good to me. 1t is
a likely lad he is, and has given me
a precious noun of comfort"
The anchor was lifted. the sails blew
free-boom, the good ship was sailing.
K
A year passed. and there were mothers
with anxious hearts in that little port.
Another year passed, those mothers
had nearly lost hope for their sons
who had sailed so merrily away. The
ship had not been spoken Il mind
me that she has been swallowed up in
the sea, said Jacks mother to the many
widows one November Sunday after
church. Il hope that Jack had his
Thanksgiving dinner.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving,
a short. %trcless day. The sun sank red
as in a sea-hre.

MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN'S
TALKS TO WOMEN
Life Insurance OF Importance t Women
This is the fourth of Mrs. Loean's series
OF Informative Talks

l. she marries for better or for
worse" At that hour her influence is
supreme. She owes it to herself to exer-
else 1t wisely to provide against the
worst. There are few investments that
can stand the continuous changes rom
prosperity to adversely in the business
world. Life Insurance is not affected BY
the failure OF the crops. over production
and the innumerable causes OF depression
in financial affairs. 1t is exempt from
Unsuitable creditors and is always avail
able as a collateral. Women should be
provided with insurance for themselves
and their children. 1t is the only way
in which they can be protected from
misfortunes and unforeseen reverses of
any nature.
The ablest business men in the nation
have given much thought to all the
problems involved in Life Insurance bust
ness and have evolved various schemes,
all of which are based upon absolutely
reliable principles. The business has
grown so enormously that unquestionable
statistics show more than nine billions
OF dollars are to-day behind the policies
that are being carried by rich and poor
all over this country.
Women are not naturally systematic
in their savings. If, therefore, they will
allow themselves to be educated to save
and invest in something that must be
done regularly, they not only derive
benefit from the results, but they have
the advantage of the training in a most
profitable line. There are so many
methods offered by Insurance companies
that almost everyone can find a plan
adapted to his circumstances
Women upon whom Others are depend
of their solicitude for the welfare of
those dependents. They are nevcr quite
at ease as to the future or to their
ability to meet unexpected expense
through illness or the many Affections to
which flesh is heir. They owe it to
themselves to take advantage OF some
of the many opportunities to relieve
themselves of anxieties.
| have in mind a man who has 4 small
salary. but a good Life Insurance which
represents the savings of himself and his
wife They decided to own their home
He purchased one and has paid for it on
the monthly instailment plan; his credi-
tor. knowing he had the Life Insurance
policy. felt sure of his money if anything
should happen. Fortunately, after some
years of careful saving, they have their
home and his policy is almost fully
paid-up.
Let husbands and wives inform them
selves on Life Insurance and after
reasoning together make a beginning if
only in a small way. They will at least
accumulate a guaranty against want or
poverty and it may be the foundation of
great riches.

cation. the literature of the Metropolitan

In 1900 only seven per cent. of the
total population cf the United States
were church members, whereas to-day
the ratio is thirty-siX per cent, the
members increasing from 3G4 900 to
29, 900, 900 observes the Church Econo-
mist. Not only has there been this
great gain in numbers, but there has
also been great increase in activity
as indicated by the rise Of foreign
missions, the modern Sunday School,
young peoples societies, brotherhoods
and kindred movements. Investi-
cations show, however, that the large
majority of young men, or 9,5O0,O00
out of ll:230,000 are outside of
church membership. Even after
allowing a large margin for those who
are not members but attend religious
services, at least occasionally, it is
safe to say that fully one-half are

men into the church and there should

Th> immigration Bureau, under the
energetic and intelligent direction of
Commissioner Watson, is just getting
started in its good work. Last week
we chronicled the sale, through his
efforts, of 10000 acres of land in Lex
ington County to a colony Of Soandi-
navian truck farmers, who will bring
$3.50, 900 to invest in South Carolina.
Last week Commissioner Watson
closed trade with the representative
of another colony Of Scandinavians
who purchased $4,000 acres of land in
Aiken County. This last deal rep.
resents over 100000. These Scan
dinavians are an intelligent, indus
trious people, and we would be more
than pleased to see several thousand
more of them settle in South Caro-
lima.

from the bedchamber he met face to
face man carrying bag and base
ball bat: The intruder struck at Mr..

deavoring to get back to the bed cham
ter for his shot gun. The un-
known man seized McCue, who had

Races Won't Mix at Army Camps.

Gainesville, Va, Sept. 5.-The
most bitter feeling exists between the
regiments of Southern troops and the
colored contingcnts here for the man
euvcrs. Standing in a cluster Of ex.
cited officers, an officer in a Maryland
regiment to-day said
Its all right as long as they keep
the negroes on their own side Of the
field. | don't see what they wanted
to bring them here for, anyway. If
the negroes GO not amount to much
except us casus bclli, they rub them
under our noses in the army man
euvrcs and give them camp next to
ours
y boyish looking subaltern belong
ing to Georgia regiment was oanter-
along the road when he met ii col
ored troops under command of col.
ored officer from Connecticut. It is
the custom Of su6ordinates TO salute.
The colored officer looked at the Geor-
gian fxedly, and the boy cantered on
without recognition.
IF I get that colored regiment
next to mine," said Texas officer,
II will tell my men to load with ball
cartridges and get back to go at them.
We had trouble with them at Fort
Riley last year, and it will be the
same here if the generals d. not look
out"
On account of this feeling every
military company is being searched
for ball cartridges.
Though there have been number
of maneuvers and battles Of much
Importance in the United States in
the past, none Of these can compare
in size or comprehensive events with
the mimic warfare which began to-day
in Prince William county on the his.
torio battlefield of Bull Run. Regu-
lar troops and militia organizations to
the NUMBER of 10000 are assembled
in the camps in the vicinity Of Their
oughfare and Manassas, having come
from almost every State in the Union
east of the Mississippi river. Great
benefit to both regular establishment
and the militia organizations is ex.
pected to result from the operations.
These mimic operations will continue
until September 10th, at q cost Of
81 10000 to the United States gov
ernment. Unusual interest is mani
tested in the msneuvers, however,
because it was on the same ground
that the two battles Of Bull Run we're
fought in the Civil war. It was also
on the same ground that the Confed-
crate leader, jackson, 80 valiantly
held q position near fence that he
was christened "Stonewall" Jackson.
