Too Big A Risk.

Commonly it is the man himself who is
the last person to discover that a too high
value has been put upon his worth to the
world. In his book, "Afoot and Alone, "
Mr.. Stephen Powers reports the case OF
a negro in the South before the Civil War
who came to the conclusion that he was
paying too much for himself when he was
buying his freedom.
He had belonged to an Alabama planter
who owned ferry on the Chattahoochee
River. This ferry the negro had operated.
To make the ferryman faithful TO his duty,
the owner had allowed him one-half Of
the earnings.
Harry saved his gains carefully, and in
the course Of time proposed to his mGs-
ter to buy his freedom. The master con-
sented, and an agreement was made that
Harry should pay eight hundred dollars
for himself, half in hand.
Not long after this there came an unu-
suaI freShet, Harry'S Skiff was capsized
in the middle OF the stream, and he him
self was carried down two or three miles
before he could get ashore, being then
more dead than alive. Woefully bedrag-
gled and dilapidated, he presented HIM
self before his master
"MarSe John" he said, 81 wants TO
trade back"
whats the matter, Harry?"
"Wel, Marse John, four hundred dol
lars is mo- money'n want to risk in dis
hyur niger"

Offers Herself As Prize.

Miss Layore Livingston, 20 years old,
lately from Petosky, Mich, but born in
Virginia, now Of Tacoma, Wash, offers
herself as capital prize m lottery which
she requested one oithe local newspapers
or some society TO conduct.
She said the law does not prevent lot
tery prizes offering themselves. Getting
her ideafromthe play "The Lottery Man,
Mss Livingston proposes TO sell 10000
tickets at 81 each. The man getting the
lucky number will be entitled TO her and
TO half Of the money. II the winner be
unwilling omarrY her, he fofeits his half.
II she be unwilling to marry him, she for
feIts her half. If both are unwilling, they
divide the money. She wants foreigners
and certain kinds Of men barred. Should
a married man win, she will be released
from marriage to the winner.
The girl declares she is in earnest, her
motive being al need the money" Her
relatives are dead. Since leaving high
school size has been employed as a book
keeper and the work strains her eyes.
She has black hair, blue eyes, rosy
cheeks and trim figure.

A Big SQUAD Farm.

Travellers approaching Los Angeles,
Cal, from the north over the Southern
Pacific Railroad are aStoniShed sometimes
at seeing from the car windows ilockS OF
pigeons numbering many thousands just
on the outskirts ofthe Angel City. These
belong 10 the worlds largest pigeon farm,
owned by 7. r. Johnson and justly con-
Sidered one OF the show places OF south
ern California. Merely as a curiosity il
ranks with the alligator farm, TIE numer-
Gus ostrich farms and similar freak eS-
adjustments.
The pigeon farm consists Of about eight
acres Of sandy, gravelly land along the
bed of the Los Angeles river The farm
was established about ten years ago on
a comparatively small scale, but the ven
ture proved so profitable that the owner
developed the business along lines such
as have marked the growth of other great
modern industries, until he claims TO now
have more than 100000 fully grown pig
cons in his establishment, not 10 mention
tens of thousands of squads. AM one
questioning the accuracy OF the figures
has the privilege of counting. As a mat
ter of fact, the estimate probably is many
thousands below the actual number.
The object of this vast pigeon breeding
establishment is the production OF fSquabS.
At the present time about forty dozen
squads are killed and sentto market every
day, but a little later in the season the
daily Outputwill be much greater. These
sell at anywhere from s. 80 up to s. per
dozen, and it is evident that the income
from the mammoth pigeon farm foOts up
to a very tidy sum annually. However,
this is not all velvet by any means.
The birds consume between two and
three tons OF grain every day and the labor
of looking after them, keeping the build
ings clean and sanitary and killing and
the squads for market is not a
trliIing matter.
Not the least important circumstance in
10 the altractiyeness OF the
pigeon farm as a spectacle is the fact that
almost all the birds are pure white. At
feeding time, particularly the afternoon,
when practically all the birds are assem-
bled, the buildings and grounds close
around them bear no slight resemblance
TO a series OF SnowOankS.

A little fellow, of a very poor family, in
the Slum section of one OF Our large cities,
was induced to attend mission Sunday
school. BY and by, as a result OF the
teachers faithful work, he became Chris
tian. He seemed quite bright and settled
in his new Christian faith and life.
Someone, surely na thoughtless mood,
tried to test or shake his simple faith in
God by question. Hewas asked, "IfGod
loves you, why doesn't He take better
care of you? Why doesn't He tell some
one to send you warm shoes and some
coal and better food?"
The little fellow thought moment,
and then with big tears starting in his
eyes, said, "a guess He does tell some
body, but somebody forgets."
Without knowing it, the boy touched
the sore point in the church'S history.

Champion Cow of the World.

The College OF Agriculture in the Uni
verSity OF Missouri, at Columbia, has
raised and developed the champion dairy
COW of all the world, Missouri Chief Jose
phlne, Holstein-Friesiau. Josephine's
record in the production OF milk for six
months, 17,0OS.S pounds, exceeds the pre-
viouS worlds record for six months by
,45S pounds. The II, 00S s pounds OF
milk, which she gave in six months, gives
her an average Of 93.4 pounds OF milk
daily for 1S2 days. This is equivalent to
46.7 quarts, or ll.6 gallons, every day.
Her highest record for one day is HOP
pounds, about So quarts or II gallons OF
milk more than the average healthy dairy
COW gives in a week. She gives more
milk in two months than most COWS give
in year One can better comprehend
the enormity of the bulk Of this cows
production when he realizes that, though
large as she is-weighlng 1870 pounds at
the end OF her six months teSt-thiS great
cow produces more pounds Of milk in
six months than u times her own weight,
more than twice her weight in milk each
month; or. il you please, her own weight
in milk every two weeks.
Another way to get at this is to COM
pare her production to the nutrition OBJ
tanned from beef. According to a bulletin
by Clarence Henry EckleS, professor Of
dairy husbandry at the University Of Mis-
souri,, JoSephine'S milk production for six
months is equivalent to "more human
food than is contained in the carcaseS OF
three steers, weighing ,25Opounds each.
This amount of milk is more than equiv
alent to the nutrition obtained from 5000
pounds OF round steak.
Josephine eats nothing which has not
been thoroughly tested and analyzed. In
order that she may waste no energy in
digestion, her feed is ground into powder
and soaked in water before being served
to her. Although she consumes daily l32
pounds OF this wetieed, besides the alfalfa
hay and corn enSiIage, she never gets
enough. The feed-pau in which she is
fed four times every dayi clicked clean
each time Water is the only thing OF
which she gets enough; she is allowed
to drink as long and as much as she
wants. Her thirStiS quenChed every day
by at least 27O pounds Of water, or about
80 gallons. The water she drinks is
warmed to a temperature OF about 70 de-
greeS, the condition best suited to milk
production.

Within Our Own Hearts.

The President and the Governors OF
States appoint Thanksgiving day; but
each person makes it for himself. ltcan-
notbe made in haste. The choicestthings
of the year must be gathered together in
thought and put into it. Firstare the per-
manent treasures OF life. God is, and is
our Father. We have his word and his
spirit. We are in his family, not as ser
wants but as sons, and ''the son abideth
forever" We have, therefore, future
unbounded by time in the fathers house.
These everlasting values enrich present
life beyond limit The day when mems
attention is concentrated on them be-
comes Thanksgiving day.
We put into il also what the years have
given Instantly affections and friend
ships. Ties suspended by circumstances,
not broken, are renewed, as faces of the
absent ones reappear in the home.
The blessings of this year must be put
into Thanksgiving day. The work that
was planned when the winters shortest
days began to lengthen is done The
harvest is completed. We do not count
the losses today. eput the diSappoint-
mentS and sorrows out Of sight for the
present. We are not making fast but
feast The tables are loaded with good
things, which symbolic the good things
OF the year and OF all the years and OF the
eternal life. And how many OF them are
here with us-the husband, the wife, the
children, father and mother, friends at
hand and messages from those dfar, the
home and all it contains. We have a
Christian fellowship, a great and prosper
Gus country at peace with the world and
with helpful mission to other nations
which is being nobly fulfilled.
But something still is lacking. 1t is the
flavor to the food, the piquancy to the
appetite, the flowers to adorn the table
What we give gives value to what we
have. "God Setteth the solitary in fami-
lies" If there is a chair vacant at our
table some lonely one must be found to
fill it. While there are homes unprovid-
ed, ours cannot be completely ready for
the festival. "Send portions unto him for
whom nothing is prepared; for this day
is holy unto our Lord" Thus our table
is adorned andits plainest food made rich.
Now the day is made. We unite in
Thanksgiving and we share the featS in a
happy fellowship surrounded by an un-
countedmultitude ofmerry making homes,
whose unspoken greeting to one another
explains the meaning OF our national
Thanksgiving day, "For the JOY OF the
Lord is your strength"

A Lonely Thanksgiving.

Some years ago a sailing ship bound
from NeN York to Singapore with oil,
took fire in the middle of the Indian ocean
the day before Thanksgiving Realizing
that 1t was impossible to extinguSh the
burning oil, the captain ordered the men
10 the boats, with such provisions as they
could carry at short notice. The long
boat, containing the captain, second mate
and ten men, got away all right, but was
never heard OF again. The cutter, with
the first mate and the rest Of the crew,
after drifting about in the darkness for
several hours, went broadSide against a
coral reef and was smashed like an egg
shell. The mate alone succeeded in
reaching land, all the others being dashed
to death on the Jagged reef-points or
drowned in the boiling surf.
Daylight showed the survivor that he
was maroored on little island that was
not much more than a cluster OF rocks
rising above the waves. 1t was a half
mile wide at the widest part and about
mile in circumference. and was surround
ed by briStling CheyauX de friSe Of reefs,
over which the pillows Spouted in foam
and thunder. Beyond the glittering walls
OF spray was the deSolate eXpanse o the
Indian ocean, with not sail or a Smudge
of smoke anywhere in sight. The ship
wrecked man remembered it was Thanks
giving day, and the thought OF all the
good things the folks at home were en-
joying increased the pangS OF hunger and
thirst. In the forlorn hope OF finding
water in some rocky crevice he started
to explore the island, and, much to his
delight, found a pool OF sweet, if tepid,
water collected in hollow on the top OF
a rock which he mounted in the hope OF
deserving ship. Further on, hidden in
the coarse grass which the sea wind
combed over it, he stumbled on a sea-
fowls nest full of eggs, and was also by
good luck able to kill one Of the birds
with Well-aimed stone. Being bit of
a dandy, he carried silver match box,
which had kept the matched dry, so he
was able to light fire Of dry grass and
little sticks, over which he cooked the
seafowl. He roasted the eggs in the hot
embers, and though ofan oily flavor, they
were very palatable to hungry man.
Salt and pepper would have been great
Improvement to this Thanksgiving dinner
alone on rocky islet in the lonely Indian
ocean, but the sau.e of healthy appe-
tite made up for their absence. The next
day, as the Shipwrecked sailor was finish
ing the last Of the roast eggs, p. & o.
steamer sighted his signal OF distress and
sent boat to his rescue.

The Bishop and the Waffles.

1t would indeed be queer bishop who
could not tell a good story on himself.
The late Bishop Dudley, OF Kentucky,
was wont to relate with much relish an
interesting experience which he once had
in connection with waffleS.
AT fine old Virginia homestead where
he was frequent guest the waffIeS were
always remarkably good.
One morning, as breakfast drew near
an end, the tidy little linen-coated black
boy who served al table approached BiSh-
op Dudley and asked in low voice:

"fiim Dead Too ?"

Braitle street lost its air of ariStocratic
repoSe some weeks ago when an old
stage coach, pulled by four horses,
plunged pell-meIl down il. pursued by
score of Indians.
The coach was the old Portland -Bos-
ton stage that has been renovated for use

The Indians were the Hlawatha band OF
IroquoiS who had been visiting the Crai-
gle mansion, Longfellow'S old home. and
had used the vehicle for transportation.
The visit grew out OF the curiosity OF
Chief Standing Board TO see the man
who wrote Hiawatha." The first thing
he asked when he reached Boston was
where Longiellow lived.
"Me 90 10 see him" he declared.
Standing Board then learned for the
first time that Longtellow was dead The

Longiellow'S chair. fingered the old quill

An Old-Time Thanksgiving.

The quaint account of an old-time
Thanksgiving celebration has been found
in the diary OF a Connecticut minister,
dated in TIA: "When ye services at ye
meeting house were ended ye council and
other dignitarieS were entertained at the
house of Mr.. EpeS, on ye hill near by,
where we had bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner. with bears meat and veniSon,
the last of which was fine buck, shot in
the woods near by. After ye blessing
was craved word came that ye buck was
shot on ye Lords day by Pequot, an In
dian, who came to Mr.. Epes with lye
in his mouth, like AnaniaS of old. Ye
council therefore refused 10 eat ye veni-
son; but it was afterward decided that
Pequot should receive forty stripes save
one for lying and profaning on We Lords
Day, and restore Mr.. EpeS We price ofye
deer; and considering that Just and
righteous sentence on ye sinful heather,
and that blessing had been Craved on
ye meat, we council all partook of it but
Mr.. Sheppard, whose conscience was
tender on ye point of ye venSon."

Thanksgiving.
For the days when nothing happens.

For the flowers upspringing sweet,
For our coasts from want protected,
For each inlet, river. bay,
BY Thy bounty full and flowing.
Take our praise this joyful day.
For the dangers TO the nation,
Warded hence by sovereign love;
For the country, strong and hopeful,
Songs arise TO God above.
Never people called and chosen
Had such loving kindness shown
As this people, God defended
Therefore praises TO the Throne
For our dear ones lifted higher
Through the darkness 10 the light,
Ours 10 love and ours 10 cherish
In dear memory. beyond sight,
For our kindred and acquaintance
In Thy Heaven who safely stay,
We upliit our psalms of triumph,
Lord, on this Thanksgiving Day.
For the hours when Heaven is nearest,
And the earth-mOOd does not cling,
For the very gloom of broken
BY our looking for the King:
BY our thought that he IS coming
For our courage on the way,
Take, o Friend, unseen, eternal,
