The meals were cooked on the hearth
beside the fire. The water was brought
from a spring some distance from the
house. Wood was the only fuel used,
and the fires had to be replenished
frequently. She had to do the sewing
for the family, and spin the yarn that

She might obtain colored woman
to do the. weekly washing, to make

but this was all the help size, could

A neighbor invited her to a rag
sewing where her silver thinble was
a subject Of comment and when she
attended church wearing green
veil and a belt fastened with a
buckle of white pearl, the elders de.
bated whether they could accept her
letter of membership. The next day
the minister called to expostulate
with her for setting such an example
of extravaganza in dress. He thought
it was not compatible with the char
acter of Christian woman. There
was class of more intelligent peo-
pie in the village and among these the
newcomer made many fast friends.

A FINE TREATMENT FOR
CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE

=
, = Catarrh is; such an iustdfuus disease
and has become so prevalent during
the past few years that it's treatment
should be understood by all
Science has fully proved that Ca
tarh is constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves
and nose douches seldom if ever give
lasting benefit and often drive the dis.
ease further down the air passages
and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or headnoises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Par
mint Double Strength. Take this
home and add to it u pint of hot water
and ounces of granulated sugar; stir
until dissolved, take one tablespoonful
4 times day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head-noises, clog.

Thanksgiving

It is easy to be thankful when prosperity
beams on you; when barns are filled with the
bounteous return of fertile acres; when health
is good; when the year has kept you busy in the
shop and factory; when business has netted a
satisfactory return; when dividends have been
declared regularly on your investments; when
death has spared your family; when honors have
been heaped upon you, in short, when all mater
ial things have gladdened your heart.
But what should be the attitude of mind and
the disposition of heart when adversely has
pressed heavily in the last year? Is there any
thing to be thankful for under the adverse con-
dtions of life? Should bitterness, depression,
railing against fortune, dissatisfaction and pess
mism sway the heart?
Religion and philosophy give the same an
swer. There is much to be thankful for. It is
hard to reconcile ourselves to the doctrine of be-
ing happy and thankful even in the hour of the
deepest adversely, when the soul is in the darkest
abyss of gloom and despair. -n.

character never show themselves in the sea-

such is the only method that assures
souare deal TO all the contestants and
that the best plans from all considera-
tions arc accepted. That such dissatis-
faction exists at present IN this city,
and that such a body is needed to judge
the plans for the proposed addition, Is
shown bv the petition which has been
circulated and signed by most OF the ar
chitccts of this city declaring their un-
willingness to prepare plans or enter into
any contest unless alon0 with other re-
lated considerations, board of experts
be selected TO judge the plans. This pc

already been presented to your body.
The architects of this city claim that
while such is the only fair method to the
contestants, it, at the same time, gives
assurance that the plans selected are the
best from every possible viewpoint.
In view of the importance of the
building to be constructed the asso-
citation would also suggest that the
time limit for the submission of plans
be extended. Announcement of the
completion, as the advertisement
shows, was made on March "a. and

Charles c. Clarke. who during nearly
fifteen years of association with Com
modore Vanderbilt and his successor
and. earlier, with the politicians of
New York State when he was deputy
State treasurer met many of those
who achieved greatly in the last half
of the nineteenth century.
Il was thinking the other day Of
the late Erastus Corning. He was in
his day as prominent a citizen of the
United States as could be found any
where in the country and his name
was as familiar to the public as later
was that of e. II. Hartman" con-
tinued Mr.. Clarke. "Mr. Corning,
whom l knew we'll, owed no small
part of his success to his training of
young men, and when L. c. Worces-
ter, whose name. l suppose, very few
persons are now familiar with, was
employed by him to work out the
problem created by the proposition to
consolidate ten railroad companies
which were operating lines between
Albany and Buffalo, he made choice
exactly of the right man. Worcester
had no precedent to go by, for when
he undertook this work there had
been no consolidation of railroads. It
was in the early ffties that he worked
out all of the details by means of
which il was possible at last to con-
solidate these ten companies perfectly
and operate them satisfactorily. The
consolidated companies were called

gifts which accounted in considerable

for Erastuc Corning and Dean Rich
mond in perfecting the organization
of the New York Central. SO the COM
modore brought Mr.. Worcester into
association with him when he planned
the consolidation of the Hudson River
railroad with the New York Central.
Il remember that Commodore Van
derbilt committed to Mr.. Worcester
the problem for solution which, if the
plan had not fallen through would
have given New York City, in 1872, at
no cost, a true rapid-transit system
reaching from the City Hall, in lower
New York, to the Grand Central sta
tion.
"The commodore simply told Mr.
Worcester that he wanted him TO
work out the project. This was done
so satisfactorily that the Legislature
granted a charter for the construction
of this rapid-transit line. 1t was not
to be a subway, but a viaduct system
running in straight line from the
Grand Central station to the City Hall
"a distance of about five miles. To
the commodore's astonishment, he
was bitterly attacked in public and in
private. All sorts of accusations
were made against him, the public not
knowing that when the work was
completed it was the cOmmOdOre's in
tention to present it to the city Of
New York.
AT last the commodore got tired Of
these attacks and one day he told Mr..
Worcester to file the plans away. for
he was going to abandon the purpose.
Had the plans been put into effect,
New York City would have had,
twenty-five years before it did have,
a very adequate rapid-transit system,
