 No one that I know had the ability of Victor Herbert to get out of an or chestra what he got out of it. He was conductor who brought his men, vol untarily to their feet in recognition ofs his talent and his leadership whenever he picked up the baton. He was here one Monday morning going over some things with me. Set right there m that armchair near the desk. When he left, he said, I'll be back at 50.
 The authority on American musical shows turned away and fumbled with some papers on the table in front ot him and he did not look up as he added huskily:

 A Man Of Kindly Heart
 The good d-hearted composer was al ways doing kindnesses, and the fact won him n host of friends. At all hours of the day and night his jollity and good nature were on duty,
 Mrs. Ziegfeld and her little daughter  were once delayed on a journey to their camp at Lake Placid and arrived there late at night to find that the servants had. not vet come and that the house was still unopened. Victor Herbert with his family were at their lodge and took the travellers in. But the. baby Ziegfeld was tired and cross and did not care who knew it. She was not interested in going to bed, and saw no reason why any one else should be. So Vic tor Herbert took upon himself to amuse night at the piano with the child on and pacify her. He sat far into the his lap, strumming away, much to her delight and satisfaction.
 One of the characteristic anecdotes told of Herbert's gastronomic fastidious- ness is related by an early suburban friend who, as child of 12, was sent to meet Mir. Herbert in her pony cart

 His Methods Of Composing
 Herbert's capacity for work was amazing. His holidays at the Lake Placid camp were as busy as hiS days in the New York home Always there was the high table where he wrote out his numerous scores. Those who have watched him work say that he rarely went to the piano to play over a score while he was writing it. But he would sing it to himself as he ran idly jotted down the notes in pencil
 Sometimes he worked on as many az four scores at once. going from table tss table to record the melodies which seemed to flow necessarily through his active mind.

Formal Thanksgiving Set Aside
At Request of Capital Church
Plea Of Committee of First Congregational Resulted
in Fixing of Definite Yearly Holiday by Presi-
dent Johnson in 1865.

In the observance this year of the
fifty ninth anniversary, dated from
the last Thursday in November. 1865.
as the beginning Of our regular Ma
tional Thanksgiving days, it is re-
called that a. committee from the
First Congregational Church here in
Washington, where President Cool
idEe worships. then in IFS infancy, APP
peared before President Andrew
Johnson in October, 1865, and asked
him to appoint a day for yearly
Thanksgiving. The request was
granted. and the celebration Of the
day on the last Thursday OF Novem-
Der has now grown into the custom
of the Nation and the circumstances
of its origin perhaps lost sight of in
the passing years.
During the Civil War President Lin
coin several times proclaimed Ma
tional THANKSGIVING days. and asked
the people OF the country to repair to
their respe Ctive places of worship to
give thanks to God--but the great
war President did not designate the
National Thanksgiving day row In
use. 1t was done, 1t is said. by the
Congregational Church committee in
their request to President Johnson to
continue President Lincoln's custom
and wishes. The committee designated
the day. the last Thursday in Novem-
Der each year.
Most of the members of the COM
mittee were New Englanders and
were prompted to ask for Il national
Thanksgiving because they had been
in the habit of setting apart "A regu-
lar day each year to give thanks to
God and because they wished to see
President Lincoln's ideal put into et-
feet
