nothing but patronizing and nauseating

New York. Feb 2O-To keep his
mother from starving. thirteen-year-old
Abraham KoudOs of 81 Norfolk street
denied himself food for week and him
self died of starvation.
Mrs. Koudos is nearly famished. She
sits nursing an infant in the wretched
room in which her son died, grief
stricken at her loss Her cheeks are so
seen on them and her eyes are sunken in
her head She has had little more than
a crust of bread for a week.
She came to New York month ago
from Philadelphia because she did not
wish to become dependent upon her aged
father and mother. Her husband died in
Philadelphia thirteen weeks ago The
child was born one week before the
father died.
For several days after her arrival in
New York Mrs. Koudos was cared for by
the Hebrew Sheltering House at 229
East Broadway. She did not wish to
become charge and sought lodgings in
Norfolk street. She received SIS from
the organization to pay month s rent.
Mrs. Koudos searched in vain for
work to do; then Abraham started in to
sell newspapers for living.
''You will never be in want now,
mother" said he, 'for I shall take care
Of you. I will earn living for you and
Baby Pearl, just as father would have
done''
Abraham was not success as a news
boy. The business was new to him, and
he did not know where to go to sell his
papers. He made some 80 cents day,
however, and with this he bought food
for his mother. He ate no luncheon dur
ing the day and hurried home early in
the evening to give his mother the days
profits. Then he would eat just enough

ger.
Mrs Koudos realized that the boy was
denying himself and tried to get him to
eat more, but he always insisted that he
had enough. Mrs. Koudos soon began to
eat less herself, so that Abraham would
take more nourishment. She could not
stand this hardship, for with nursing
baby she needed healthful food. Soon
she began to grow thin and was too weak
tc seek employment
A week ago Abraham was taken so i'll
he could not sell papers. Mrs. Koudos,
with no money to buy medicines, did not
know what to do Neighbors sent some
tea and loaf of bread. They did not
know to what extremes the little family
had been driven.
Abraham was so i'll yesterday after
noon his mother put him to bed.
"Don t cry, mother" he said "I will
get well soon and make a living for us.
I have only got headache"
Mrs. Koudos watched her son until he
fell asleep. Then she lay down beside
him and soon went to sleep, with her
baby in her arms When she awoke in
the middle of the night the boy was dy-
ing. At daybreaR he was dead.

There Is every year by custom and
by proclamation of president and
governors day of Thanksgiving. Up
on this day the American nation of
fers to the throne of Divine Grace its
prayerful thanks and sings peans of
praise for the many bounties and
blessings that have been bestowed
upon our people True, in this great
world there may be some who are un-
able to look back and point with pride
and thankfulness to many acts and
things connected with their lives. but
goodness always exceeds the bad and
the world is constantly growing bet
ter and brighter. Opportunities are
increasing ana men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers of praise for the bene-
fits of the past and the prayers of
supplications for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can erad-
icate from man the belief that he is
the creature of supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency of
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful If the belief
in mans divine origin was ever en-
lirely obliterated from any human
mind. With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful of the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn
pies erected by our people in which
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience, that
they should meet together on this
day and give praise to Him who
watches over us.

Two Presidential proolamations.

Railroad development seems greatly
to have impressed President Johnson
for in his third proclamation for the
last Thursday of November, he said
"He has permitted us to multiply our
ships upon our lakes and rivers and
upon the high seas. and at the same
time to extend our iron roads so far
into the secluded places of the cont
nent as to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans
President Grants proclamations
contained nothing out of the ordinary
except that in one year, Nov. 18-not
the last Thursday-was made the hol
iday. and he also issued a proclama
tion calling for special thanksgiving
on July 4. 1876, on the one hundredth
anniversary of the nations birth.
