If one has not the time or talent to
make place card favors very clever
little papier mache bonbon boxes may
be bought, representing roast turkey,

FAMOUS FAST AND FEAST.
One Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War.

One Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War.
Queerly enough, both national fasts
and national Thanksgiving were af-
fected by the civil war. President
Buchanan appointed a day of national
fasting and prayer to avert civil war.
Republican governors OF states in some
instances ignored It and in others took
notice of it in a way to rub their ideas
against Buchanan and his party into
their proclamations. Democratic gov
ernors, south and north, under the
form Of an appeal to the Deity, eau
terized Republicanism to the best Of
their ability. -~.-,.
AS President Buchanan called the
nation to prayer to avert civil war, so
did President Lincoln call it to thanks
giving for victories In a civil war, to
the end that more victories might
bring union and peace. OF course, as
Mr.. Buchanan was ignored or sattrized
in antipathetic political quarters in the
north, so was President Lincoln crit
cised and even abused In the south,
where the Union forces were not in
control But as Mr.. Buchanan was
the pioneer In national fast day and
as Mr.. Lincoln was the pioneer In ma
tional thanksgiving days it is we'll to
remember that sectional conditions In
a sectional war moved both and that
the great national observance which
we now have was born In the throes Of
fratricidal civic contention.-Brooklyn

A feast answering the purpose Of
our Thanksgiving day was held by
the ancient Greeks in honor of Deme-
ter, the deity who owned the earth In
their eyes. The rallying point for this
feast, which lasted nine days, was at
Athens. All except murderers and
barbarians took part In 1t. The fruits
of the earth which seemed to please
the Greeks most were barley, mint,
pomegranates and poppy seeds. In
addition to eating and drinking more
than ordinarily, grand torchlight pro-
cession along the sacred way" to
Eleusina was the chief. attraction.
The sacred way seems to have been to
the ancient Greek what Fifth avenue
is to the modern New Yorker.

TABLE TALK IN THE SOUTH,

In The American Magazine. Ray
stannard Baker is reporting the
clash between whites and BLACKS in
this country as no reporter has done
before. His articles are fun Of real
stun.
In the South Mr.. Baker says. the
negro is both the labor problem and
the servant question; he is pre-emin-
emily the political issue, and his place
socially. is OF daily and hourly dis
cussion.
A negro minister Mr.. Baker met
told him story OF boy who went
as sort OF a buffers assistant in the
home of a prominent family in Al
lanta. His people were naturally
curious about what went ON IN the
white mans house One day they
asked him:
What do they talk about wheh
they's eating2"
The boy thought for moment;
then he said;
Mostly they discusses US oulled

stand what were their feelings, and they
moodily kicked the ground and made low and
sullen answers to Willie Dalzel, who worked
like a clrcusmanager.
"Aw, go on, Jim! What's the matter with
you? You amt afraid, are you? Well, then,
say something" This sentiment received more
cheering from the abandoned little wretches
who wished to be entertained, and in this cheer
ing there could be heard notes of derision of
Jimmie Trescott. The latter had position to
sustain; he was well known; he often Dragged
of his willingness and ability to thrash other
boys; well, then, here was boy OF his size
who said that he could not thrash him. What
was he going to do about it? The crowd made
these arguments very clear, and repeated them
again and again.
Finally Jimmie, driven to aggression, walked
'"The first time | catch you out OF your own
yard I'll lam the head Off you'll This was
received with wild plaudits by the Whilomville
urchins.
But the new boy. stepped back from, the
fence. He was awed by Jimmie's formidable
mien. But he managed to get out semi-de-
fiant sentence. "Maybe you will, and maybe
you won't" said he.
However, his short retreat was taken as a
practical victory for Jimmie and the boys
Rooted % him bitterly. He remained inside the
fence, swinging one foot and scowling, while
Jimmie was escorted off down the street amid
acclamations. The new boy turned and walk
ed back towards the house, his face gloomy,
that the new environments antagonism and
palpable cruelty were sure to prove too much
for him.
The mother of Johnnie Hedge was widow
and the chief theory of her life was that her
boy should be in school on the greatest pos
sible number of days. He himself had no SYM
pathy with this ambition. but she detected the
truth of his diseases with an unerring eye, and
he was required to be really III before he
could win the right to disregard the first bell,
morning and noon. The chicken-pox and the
mumps had given him vacations vacations of
misery, wherein he nearly died between pain
and nursing. But bad colds in the head did
nothing for him, and he was not able to in.
vent satisfactory hacking cough. His mother
was not consistently tartar. In most things
he swayed her to his will. He was allowed to
have more jam, pickles, and pie than most
boys; she respected his profound loathing of
Sunday school; on summer evenings he could
remain out of doors until $50; but in this
matter of school she was inexorable. This
single point in her character was of steel.
/ The Hedges arrived in Whilomville on a
Saturday, and on the following Monday John
ME wended his way to school with a note to
the principal and his Jersey City school books.
He knew perfectly well that he would be told
to buy new and different books, but in those
davs mothers always had an idea that old
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-03

books would ''do,'' and they invariably sent
boys off to new school with books which
would not meet the selected and Interchangeable
views of the new administration. The old
books never would "do." Then the boys
brought them home to annoyed mothers and
asked for ninety cents or sixty cents or eighty
five cents or some number of cents for another
outfit. In the garnet of every house holding
large family there was a collection of eff
fete school books with mother rebellious be-
cause James could not inherit his books from
Paul, who should properly be Peters heir,
while Peter should be beneficiary under
Henry's will.
But the matter of the books was not the
measure of. Johnnie Hedges unhappiness
This whole business of changing schools was
a complete torture. Alone he had to go
among 2 new people, new tribe, and he ap-
pretended his serious time. There were only
two fates for him. One meant victory. One
meant a kind of serfdom in which he would
subscribe to every word Of, some superior boy
and support his every word. 1t was not any
cause boys invariably drifted into the fgura-
tive service of other boys whom they devoted
ly admired, and If they were obliged to sub
scribe to everything, it is true that they would

place. Willie Dalzel was a type of the little
chieftain, and Willie was a master, but he was
not bully in special physical sense. He

cried, nor make them tearfully fetch and carry
for him. They fetched and carried, but it was
because of their worship Of his prowess and
genius. And so all through the strata of boy
life were chieftains and subchieftains and as
sstant subchieftains. There was no question
of little Hedge being towed about by the
nose; it was, as one has said, that he bad to
find his place in a new school. And this in
itself was problem which awed his boyish
heart. He was stranger cast away upon the
moon. None knew him, understood him, felt
for him. He would be surrounded for this
initiative time by horde of jackal creatures
who might turn out in the end to be little
boys like himself, but this last point his phil
osophy could not understand in it's fullness.
He came to a white meeting house sort of
place, in the squat tower of which great bell
was changing impressiyely. He passed through
an iron gate into play ground worn bare as
the bed of a mountain brook by the endless
rrnnings and scuffings of little children
There was still a half-hour before the final
clangor in the squat tower, but the play ground
held a number of frohcsome imps. A lettering
boy espied johnnie Hedge, and he howled:
"Oh! oh! Here's a new felleri Here's new
fellerl" He advanced upon the strange ar
rival. whats your name?' he demanded,
belligerently, like a particularly offensive Gus
tom house officer.

against the fence and fastidiously examined
one shoe.
In the end Willie Dalzel authoritatively
broke the stiffness. whats your name?' said
he, gruffy.
Johnnie Hedge, 'tis' answered the new
boy. Then came another great silence while
Whilomvile pondered this intelligence.

and awaited the answer.
The Hedge boy had stared at Willie Dalzel,
but he stared at him again. After pause he
said, '.I know you kim :.
"Well," demanded Willie, kin he lick you!"
And he indicated Jimmie Trescott with a
sweep which announced plainly that Jimmie
was the next in prowess.
Whereupon the new boy looked at Jimmie
respectfully, but carefully, and at length said,
This was the signal for an outburst of shrill
screaming, and everybody pushed Jimmie for
ward. He knew what he had to say, ard as
beftted the occasion, &C he said it fercely: kin,
you lick me?"
The new boy also understood what he had
to say, and, despite his unhappy and lonely
state, he said it bravely: "Yes."
''Well," retorted Jimmie, bluntly, "come out
and do it, then Just come out and do it!"
And these words were greeted with cheers.
These little rascals yelled that there should be
a fight at once. They were in bliss over the
prospect go on, Jiml Make i'm come out.

said he could lick you'll" There probably
never was a fight among this class in Whiom-
vile which was not the result of the goading
and guying of two proud lads by populace
of urchins who simply wished to see show.
Willie Dalzel was very busy. He turned
first to the one and then to the other. "You
said you could lick him. Well, why don't you
come out and do it, then? You said you
could lick him, didn't your
eyes," answered the new boy. dogged and
Willie tried to drag Jimmie by the arm
"Aw,. go on, Jimmie! You amt afraid, are

"No" said Jimmie.
The two victims opened wide eyes at each
other. The fence separated them, and SO it
was impossible for them to immediately en-
gage but they seemed to understand that
they were ultimately to be sacrificed to the
ferocious aspirations of the other boys, and
each scanned the other to learn something of
his spirit They were not angry at all. They
were merely two little gladiators who were
being ciamorously told to hurt each other

displaying fear. They did not exactly under

L.
f~z1HE child life of the neighborhood was
sometimes moved in its deeps at the
sight of wagon-loads of furniture ar
IENNNNl irving in front of some house which,
ySzSsJ with closed blinds and barred doors,
had been for time mystery, or
even fear. The boys often expressed this
fear by stamping bravely and noislly on the
porch Of the house, and then suddenly dartlng
away with screams of nervous laughter, as if
they expected to be pursued by something un-
canny. There was a group who held that the
cellar OF vacant house was certainly the
abode of robbers, smugglers, assasslns, mysterl-
GUS masked men in council about the dim rayA
OF candle, and possessing skulls, emblematic
bloody daggers, and owls. Then, near the first Of
April, would come along wagon-load Of furni-
ture, and children would assemble on the walk
by the gate and make serious examination OF
everything that passed into the house, and
taking no thought whatever of masked men.
One day it was announced In the neighbor-
hood that. family was actually moving into
the .Hannigan house, next door to DR.. Tres
formed, and by the time some of his friends
came dashing up he was versed in much.
"Any boysT they demanded, eagerly.
"Yes," answered Jimmie, proudly. "One's
little felIer, and ones most as big as me. L
saw 'em, did"
aWhere are they?'' asked Willie Dalzel, as if
under the circumstances he could not take
Jimmies word. but must have the evidence OF
his senses.
"Oh, they're in there" said Jimmie, care
lessly. 1t was evident he owned these new
boys.
Willie Dalzel resented Jimmie's proprietary
HHol" he cried, scornfuIly, "Why don't
they come out, then? Why don't they come
out?"
"How d 1 know?" said Jimmie.
"Wel," retorted Willie Dalzel, "you seemed
to know SO laundering much about 'em."
AT the moment boy came strolling down
the gravel walk which led from the front door
to the gate. He was about the height and age
of Jimmie Trescott. but he was thick through
the chest and had fat legs. His face was round
and rosy and plump, but his hair was curly
black, and his brows were naturally darklmg,
SO that he resembled both pudding and a
young bull.
He approached slowly the group of older in
habitants, and they had grown profoundly
silent They looked him over; he looked them
over. They might have been savages observ-
ing the first white man, or white men observ-
ing the first savage The silence held steady.
As he neared the gate the strange boy
wandered off to the left in a definite way,
which proved his instinct to make circular
voyage when in doubt. The motionless group
stared at him. In time this unsmiling scrutiny
worked upon him somewhat. and he leaned

THE EUPHEMIA
SOLD FOR $685.
Damaged Italian Ship and
Equipment are Sold at
Public Outcry.

The Italian ship Euphemia. which
put into this port on April Sth, and
which was found TO have been dam
aged in the gulf by storms. was sold
at public outcry yesterday morning,
bringing the sum of 1855.
The price for the vessel and all
equipment was considered TO be very
cheap. but there was no demand in
Pensacola for the vessel except for
that portion containing iron or copper,
and she was practically purchased for
this alone.
Dave Levi purchased the vessel and
most of the equipment The vessel
was first sold at auction and then fol-
lowed the sails. anchors. chains,
ropes. sails. boats. etc. Mr.. Levi pUr-
chased all of this with the exception
Of the small boats and a portion Of
the sails.
He may sell the vessel. as she is in
a fairly good state. 1t is estimated
that with an expenditure of about
$500 she could be placed in a sea
worthy condition. If there is no sale
made he will strip her of all metal
and destroy the hull.
