little Impression on the great turkey.
The boy was silent for awhile, for
he was hungry and the drumsticks
We're very good. Presently, however,
he said, cousin Sarah, must people
give thanks when they haven't any
thing to give thanks forT'
I. ''Why, what do you mean, dear boy?
Every one has something to be thank
full for, and you have very great
deal.' :
eyes, I know havev' said the boy.
''But must people be thankful for salt
fish and potatoes when they haven't
anything else at all?'' >.
Cousin Sarah thought they must, for
salt fish and potatoes were a very great
deal better than nothing, and the boy
returned to his drumsticks, finished
the first and began on the second.
Presently he said, ''Will you have
some more turkey, Cousin Sarah?" -
"No, dear, thank you! have had
quite enough" .... =
The boy drew long breath. 'Then
l can have the rest of the turkey" he
said in tone of satisfaction, "because
mamma told Mary she might go to
dinner with her sister after we were
done"
Cousin Sarah looked at him in
Amusement.
my dear little boy" she said, what
do you mean? The rest of this huge
turkey? Why, you would die! Any
way you couldn't eat half of it,
81 don't want it myselfv' the boy ex-
planned. 81 want it to take to the Jaw
kins' because they have nothing but
salt fish and potatoes, and I'm afraid
they may not know that they ought to
give thanks for that"
Cousin Sarah listened with interest
to the boys story about Jimmy Jaw
kins, the red apple and the salt fish. "
Then she rose and said: You shall
take the turkey to them, dear boy! I
am sure it is just what your mamma
would like. Only l think you will
have to let me carry it for you, for it
is almost as big as you are"
So Cousin Sarah took the turkey on
its great blue platter, and the boy
took the cranberry sauce in one hand
and dish Of apples in the other, and
off they went
The people whom they met looked
very much surprised to see young
lady carrying a huge turkey through
the street, but Cousin Sarah didn't
care in the least for that, but only
thought how pretty the boy looked,
trudging along with her, holding his
cranberry sauce so carefully and look
ing round every now and then to see
If she was all right.
So they reached the poor little cot
tage where the Jawkinses lived, and
they stopped moment outside the
door to take a breath, for they had
been walking fast.
They heard child crying inside,
and then a tired woman's voice said:

As the squeak of mouse mid the organ
keys
When God smites the worlds into melo-
dies
And the stars sing their morning song.
Tho themes for thanksgiving are infinite,
But the greatest Of all the list
Is simply the gift Of an inward sight
To see the universe whole and right.
SO thank the Oliver Of mental light
That you are not a pessimist.

he said, looking round at the six hum
CRY faces which were clustered round
the bare table. "YOu must give
thanks, you know, even when it's only
salt fish, but thought you could give
more thanks for turkey and cranberry
sauce, cause I'm sure l could myself"
And for the first time in their lives the
Jawkins children did give thanks.

And accident governs the world instead.
There is nothing but trouble and woe

And more Of the same in store"
He grew as bright as cheerful tomb,

He cramnned himself with jag of gloom
Till for anything else he had no room.
Yet strangely his dreams of direful
DOOM
Not one Of them ever came true .

RESTORING THE PARKWAY
Broadzray improvement, to Cost al
Least sos, 900, Under Way.

The grass plots in the middle Of Broadway. from
soth street northward. undergoing change by
direction OF Henry Smith, Commissioner Of Parks
The work of repanting and fencing in the plots
was begun last week. and the first plot. that be-
tween Goth and 61st streets. was completed yester-
day. except for the iron fence which will be placed
around it.
Under a resolution introduced by Alderman
Schloss $105 600 appropriated for the work OF
restoring the boulevard its appearance before the
building OF the subway. $4,000 to be spent on the
repottng and $500 for the fencing.
When the subway work finished the con-
tractors partially rebuilt the plots but ac-
cording to Commissioner Smith, instead OF filling IN
the spaces with loan the poorest kind OF ruopie
was used and the grass which has come up is sh
eyesore The elm trees planted at that time have
made little progress.
Now. however this rubble is being removed ana
water pipes and electric wire conduits are oelns
put down. The plots will be filled with the pest
loan obtainable. The curbstones Will Ee recut anu
reset and then grass seed will be sown. as it has
been found that sodded plots are more productive
OF weeds Each plot will have separate watering
system, II being necessary to keep the grouno as
moist as possible because in many places II is only
thirty-one inches deep. The elm trees Will be pre-
served far possible, ..t shrubs will be plant
ed as well as which are able to thrive IN
shallow soil
An electric light standard similar to those in use
along Seventh avenue will be placed In the centre
of each plot and others along the sidewalks at
dagonai corners of the plots, making upper Broad
way as light the lower part OF the thofoush-
fare according to Commissioner Smith The orna-
mental iron fence will be two feet high Inc
walks in the centre Of the old parkway Will De
abolished.
Mr. Smith said yesterday that the work will be
pushed as long as the money holds out and then
efforts made to get additional appropr1a-
ton, if that is necessary. The Commissioner dio
not know what would be done beneath the eie-
waited structure between i25th and 13lst streets
Already plots have been recreated at private
expense one in front of the Marie Antoinette at
6sth street, and the other opposite the home OF
Mrs. Clark, at S7th street. The former was COM
pieted under permit granted by the Park De-
partment. The shrubs have taken hold and the
grass which grown from seed. is in first class
condition. The plot opposite the Clark home was
planted several years ago, with shrubs and thorn
trees, and has been well cared for.

H. Hyslop any Of his fellow investigators snouo
have declined the challenge to prove that tnere 10

pos.ticn and points out why he could not accept
the offer though he and others believe there
are facts that prove spirit communication. IN ex-
PLANTATION of the why. in spite OF such be-

this to say:

Norfolk, Va. Aug. 15.-A mob of more than 300 men attacked Ports mouth jail at l o'clock this morn- ing bent on lynching William King and Henry Smith, both negroes, who were held on the charge of crimi- nally assaulting Mrs Katherine Pow ell, an aged white woman last Mon day.
