WILLIE SURVIVED.

Fathers lost his whiskers;
Coats in ashes. too;
Nose Is in court plaster,
One eye black and blue;
They cut his shirt off of him
To graft skin on his back,
For he was showing Willie
Why his crackers wouldn't crack.
Uncle's in his bedroom.
Minus lots of skin:
Thumb and finger missing,
Splints upon his shin;
They turned the hose upon him
In time to save his eyes,
For he was showing Willie
Why his rockets wouldn't rise.
Mothers feeling awful,
Moaning in distress;
Says 1t simply ruined
Back breadths of her dress;
She also lost her collar,
An eyebrow and a curl,
For she was showing Willie
Why his pinwheels wouldn't whirl.
Grandpa goes on crutches
When he goes at all
He collided with
Roman candle ball.
But what about young Willief
When do they bury him?
Why. Willie came through safely
Unscathed in life or limb.

Gordon of Mississippi.

In our politics and certain to preserve his
name for a long remembrance. He served
by appointment. aSd for only sixty days,
and addressed the Senate only once, but
in that time and by that delivetance drew
upon himself national attention and ad-
miratiOn. He entered the chamber abso-
lutely unknown. He left it beloved OF
every member. and with the regret deep
and general throughout the country that
his services We're at an end.
It is likely. however, that his fame was
best consulted by the short tenure. He
was seventy-five years Of age. His phys
ical force was nearly spent. He ives
hardly prepared for the regular grind OF
a senator's duties. 1t might have irked
him. and he might have been lost In the
humdrum Of the daily comings and 60

More Railroad Deaths.

Two possible causes are ascribed to the
wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad We'd
nesday night at Glenloch, which caused
the death Of four persons and the injury
OF over fifty others. One is that a girder
on q bridge which the train had Just
passed had sagged. depressing the track
and causing couplings 20 break: the other
is that rail broke under the great strain
of the heavy train running at an esti-
mated speed Of fifty miles an hour. Pos
sibly a technical examination OF the
equipment will disclose the precise cause.
This Is Mncerely to be hoped, and II Is
furthermore very greatly to be desired
that whatever Is learned will lead to
some action by railroad authorities to
lessen the danger Of recurrence. DIR.

Thanksgiving Charity.

One Of the most gratifying features OF
Thanksgiving observance is the display OF
charity on that day. Yesterday in this
city many Of those whose situation
means prevented any observance
of the occasion were provided abund-
antly with food In circumstances to
make them realize that they are OBJ
jects of consideration on the part Of
their more fortunate fellows. 1t is
a great stimulus to those who are
under the harrow OF privation or the re-
suits of misconduct to know that at a
time of general rejoicing they are not
forgotten. that on the contrary the chari-
Table spirit Of brotherhood Is manifested
toward them personally. While. of
course. there 10 much to be thankful for
in this country at this time, the fact
that poverty and suffering prevail here
and there is not to be ignored. The social
problem is not yet solved. There Is a
distressing amount of sorrow in the world
because men are evilly inclined, because
they are improvident or Incorporate.
Others are affected by their shortcomings
and thus society constantly faces condi-
tons OF distress. which 1t has proceeded
In various ways to relieve. The most
helpful Is the constructive charity OF
helping the unfortunates to help them
selves. That IL the best charity OF all
that puts the erring on tho way to
riShtsousneas once more and leads the
poor into ways Of earning and providence
But occasionally there Is need Of outgiv-
ings Of good cheer. and these are most
effective on such occasions as Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas. when the season calls
particularly for open manifestations Of
k,ndliness and helpfuiness and hospi-
tally.
