Thanksgiving morning was cloudy,

storm; but the minister and his
wife were up early, and with cheerful
hearts they commenced the day.

LOST AT SEA.


An illustration of life on the huge
ocean-going ships is given in the fol-
lowing story from Philadelphia ex-
change:
On one of the voyages of a great
steamship from Hamburg to New
York, a little seven-year-old immi-
grant boy was lost for three days. He
left his mother and started in quest
of adventure about the big ship, but
upon growing tired was unable to
find his way back to her. Instead of
asking some one where to go, or tell
ing that he was lost, the young tru
ant decided to continue his explora
tions Indefinitely.
When found, he was sleeping in an
empty coal box down among the en-
gines. One of the crew took him to
the captain, who detailed two stew
ards to search for his mother.
They found her with some difficult
ty, and discovered that she, too, had
been lost. She had started out to
look for her son and had not been
able to get back to her own part OF
the ship again.

ANXIOUS RIDING.

The newspapers noted not long ago
the centenary of an old lady who cele-
brated her one hundredth birthday
by taking ride in an automobile.
and taking it, too, with no trace of
nervousness and with keen delight.
One can but fee that a centenarian
of that temper must have found her
hundred years well worth the living,
as indeed she declared had been the
case.
An aged man, although some fifteen
years short of the hundred, recently
had a similar treat from a grand
nephew, who had become wealthy in
a distant city, and was paying brief
incidental visit to the ancestral home
stead on it's quiet village street. The
old man was pleased with the invita-
| tion to ride in the new car, pleased to
look over the imposing machine be-
fore starting, and pleased, to GER
tain extent, with his trip, but he dis
covered drawbacks.
The car had scarcely started, and
was but just striking an ordinary
pace, when there was great futter-
ing and squawking in the road, as the
automobile whizzed through a flock
of scurrying hens.
"Widow Greene's white Wyan-
dottes!" cried the aged passenger, in
great excitement, "and right under
the wheels-fool critters! My land!
I sha'n't have any peace O. my life If
Ann Greene gets grievance against
me about her hens."
He had scarcely calmed down, un-
der the assurance that not hen had
been touched, when the car sped by
in a cloud of dust, just as Deacon
Jones dog walked with yawn from
his nap in the middle of the road.
There was hardly an inch to spare.
"Sure we cleared him, Thomas?
Sure?" cried the old gentleman, trem-
ulously. "Deacon's had him nigh on
twelve years, and don't know what

ben's black bull ahead, and he won't
turn out for anybody. Keep to the

tell you-keep to the - Great Scott,

When at last the ride was over, the
old man drew long sigh of relief
and delivered his opinion:

THLES OF
LIONS IN THE BUSH.

Lions were not specially included
in the program of Mr.. Abel Chapman,
he declares in his book, ''On Safari,'
when he first landed in British East
Africa, and although, during his three
months in camp in the wilderness, he
heard lions calling almost every night
yet he did not see a live lion except
on one single occasion.
'sIt is perhaps needless to remark
that lions do not roar when hunting
at night. 1t would be a very foolish
beast that did so. When the lion hunt
was arranged and my position given
me, | stationed myself in the long
grass about half a mile from the
noisy line of hunters.
my Somali gun bearer, Elmi Has
san, lying beside me, pointed into the
wood, saying See! two lions. You
no see?'
Il certainly did not see For some
ing whatever, but at last, as the lions
came exactly opposite my position,
where the wood was rapidly thinning
out, saw them.
ttThey were not easy to detect, so
low and stealthy was their advance
two beasts lay down in two green
bushes that grew within dozen yards
of each other beneath the last strag-
Cling trees. I beckoned to my left
hand neighbor, told him what I had
seen, and arranged that he should ad-
vance from the left while I went
straight in to the lions in front.
NATURALLY, under such circum-
stances one went in with every sense
on full stretch, anticipating and pre-
pared for any contingency, but on
drawing nearer and nearer to those
two bushes without seeing sign of
movement within, the tension began
to slacken.
cat twenty yards distance it
seemed impossible that so large a
beast as lion could be lying in so
small bush without my seeing it.
They must, I thought, have slipped
away unobserved, and 1 was walking
on almost carelessly until within ten
yards of the right-hand bush, when
Elmi suddenly seized my arm, point
ing the rifle he carried into the base
of the bush, and hissed, See! see! the
lion! Shoot, him spring.!
"Once more l must admit that I
could see nothing. Strain my eyes as
l would / could distinguish nothing.
Yet Elmi was so positive that l de-
cided, perhaps rather recklessly, to
fire.
There was no mistaking the re-
sponse, growl more savage than
ever I had heard in my life before. I
saw, through the smoke from the Par
adox, the electric convulsion with
which the beast pulled itself together
for a spring. That movement dis
closed the position of the head and
shoulder, and before there was any
time for mischief, I sent the second
bullet, and the beast dropped dead

AGASSIZ AND THE HORSEMEN.
In some "reminiscences by the late
Professor Nathaniel Southgate Shaler
in the Atlantic Monthly, there is an
anecdote of Agassiz, which shows the
secret of his great power over men.
He captivated them, says the writer,
even those of the ruder sort. In
1866, when Professor Shaler was
Agassiz's assistant, the great teacher
became much interested in the task of
comparing the skeletons of thorough
bred horses with those of common
stock
1--WE had tried, and without sue
cess, to obtain bones of certain ia
nous stations from friends who had
kept racing horses. Early one morn
ing there was a fire in the stables at

in which a number of horses had been
killed and many badly scorched. |

where / had left a mob of irate own

mind, for the fire was supposed to be
incendiary. | had seen the chance of
getting valuable lot of stations for
the museum, but it was evident that
the time was most inopportune for
suggesting such a disposition cf the
remains. Had | done so, the results
would have been, to says the least,
unpleasant. @s
'As 1 came away from the angry
horsemen gathered about the ruins of
their fortunes or their hopes l met
Agassiz almost running to seize the
chance for specimens.
Il told him to come back with me;
that we must wait till the mob had
spent its rage; but he kept on.
Il told him further that ne risked
spelling his good chance, and finally,
that he would have his head punched; !;
but he trotted on. l went with him,
in the hope that l might protect him
from the consequences of his curios-

whole situation, of which he was at

good reason that he was heart and

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom

The unbroken song

A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime,

But in despair 1 bowed my head
