II, NO. g.CHICAGO, ILLI�OIS, NOV. 30, 1893.KAACKEOUT,ON THE HUDSON.PROF_ W. C. WILKINSON.[The particular interest of the following bit of description,(written many years ago) for readers connected with the University" Founded by John D. Rockefeller," is that the gentleman thusnamed has now bought historic Kaackeout, with a view, as it isunderstood, of crowning it with a dwelling and making it hiscountry-seat] .THIS is the Dutch name of a noble hill near Tarry­town, on the Hudson River. The meaning ofthe word is, I believe, Lookout. This hill is, there­fore, a sort of " Lookout Mountain" of the north. Itis called the highest point of land in WestchesterCounty. A mo re recent survey has, however, claimedto discover one a little higher. Kaackeout remains,notwithstanding, indisputably the most interestingheight, both for itself and for its associations, in thepicturesque region where it stands. The landscapewhich it overlooks is, on the whole, as magnificentas any commanded from a single point of view withina circumference of many miles.The g Ior ious river rolls at its foot. I say at itsfoot; but this is not quite literally the fact, for a richundulation of lesser hills lies tum bling like gentle bil­lows of the breeze-swept sea between Kaackeout and_ the great flood of the Hudson. Still Kaackeout standsso easily eminent among them all (or rather, behindthem), like Saul among his brethren, that it is naturalenough to describe the river as immediately under­neath it.The Hudson is such a lordly flood that it dignifiesand ennobles indescribably any landscape of which itforms a part. From Kaackeout a long and largesweep of the Hudson is seen, extending from theHighlands at the north to the sea itself, where theriver ends in the beautiful Bay of New York. Theeffect of this generous length and bread th of water,set off, with the most august fitness, by a configur­ation of landscape corresponding, is something quiteunique. The imagination is at once stimulated andsatisfied with a sense of perfect plenitude and ofrepose in power. You have the sentiment of grandeurexpanded to the utmost breadth and elevated to theutmost height that is possible without your exper­iencing the transition to the sentiment of sublimity.The scene is not exactly sublime; but it would besublime if the grandeur were greater by only a degree.I su ppose the latent consciousness that you are here at the gateways of the world, in your nearnessto the ocean, is what makes you feel so much enlarge­ment and freedom on the banks of the lower Hudson.You could embark on one of those vessels that thebroad, deep-breasted river bears by, and, escapingfrom the great river-mouth, so near, sail away to theends of the earth. The mountains are no barrier, forhas not tile gentle omnipotence of the river fo�nd awide way through them to the expectant sea P Ihave no such sense of escape and emancipation,always possible, anywhere else as I do on the shoresof the Hudson.Think of sitting here on Kaackeout and lookingaway to New York City, on your left, with its spiressome of them distinct enough in clear weather to becounted; of glancing across and beholding the fieldsand towns of New Jersey; of sweeping your eyeleisurely around the arc westward and northward, toscan the spurs in which the Kaatskills descend to theplain, to single out and identify, by a slow but easyeffort of vision, that parting of the mountains for theimportunity of the river (the" South ") which is calledthe Delaware Water Gap; then of looking up the _splendid liquid highway by which the long, bright riverdraweth slowly his waters from the purple hills; and,at last, having contented your sight with a survey ofthe many massy mountains which make up what wecall the Highlands of the Hudson, of turning on yourheel to range a semi-circle behind you of till and dale,of wood and tilth, of stream and glen, such as, ifthatwere the only landscape to be beheld from this point,would make Kaackeout worth a masterful scrambleto climb.How many a delightful day of European foot­travel did I pass in the time of my strenuous andsanguine youth-not so long gone yet, thank God,but that its wine is still something of a motion now andthen in my blood-the motive and objective of whichwas to get a "view" famous among tourists! Buthow few of such views were equal to this view fromKaackeout, fisible almost from my own door!On this summit, where I now lie diffuse, sub teg­minefagi, writing these inadequate words: what rev­erend feet erewhile have trod! Let us revere. Itwill do us good. Here Washington, they say, stoodsometimes, during dark days of the Revolution,and looked and thought and planned. Old Kaack-2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY ..eout looked frowning down on Arnold's treason andAndre's forlorn and desperate and tragic adventure.Let us believe that the stern features of the faithfulhill would have softened into an approving smile,could it have seen the three captors arrest Andre andrefuse his gold, conquered by their love of fatherland.Washington Irving must often have been here.Sleepy Hollow winds among the hills close under thesummit for miles and miles away, hiding its streamwithin its secret banks. Off yonder is the gleam of ashaft in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, close by where themodest and gentle author of the "Legend" sleepsamong his kindred, in a grave marked by a slab asplain and simple in device as that of the humblest ofthe dead in all that silent hamlet. How the spell,the lovely spell, of that unobtrusive genius, thatamiable character, that blameless life, lies everywherelike an unspoken benediction on this region! Hark!Do you hear that lulled and softened sound of thebell from the village below? The wind lifts it to us,and then scatters it away from our ears. The long,low roll of the train, unseen under the hills hard bythe river, scarcely breaks the enchantment of quietthat reigns over the distance-hushed landscape. The caw of the crow, the lusty song of chanticleer, thechirr of the locust, a low, heavy boom (was it ofthunder below the horizon or of blasting somewherein the rocks ?)-all these sounds come qualified sothat they are like a picture to the ear, rather than asensation.How delicious to lie here! Will the future ownerof the future mansion that will some day crown thishill know how delectable it is? Let us hope so. I willcome, if I may, and enjoy it for him (as I am doingnow), on some vacation day, should his businessin the city or his worry with the care of his groundsrender it impracticable, mayhap, to do it properlyhimself. Come, all my readers let us have a picnichere some day. The platform is broad and ample.There shall be no speeches and not even a poem.Refreshments? What refreshment would you wishbeyond this boundless pasture of the eye and thisOlympian refection of the imagination? There shallbe no report of our proceedings .. To make sure ofthe non-attendance of reporters, we will not fix theday. But I shall be there-I at least, whoever elseis absent. Corne.A JOINT MATTER.TING-A-LING! Ting-a-ling! Ting-a-ling! Threetimes the bell of the telephone in the office ofthe Pllragraplz sounded. The editor raised his eyesfrom the pad on which he was writing. "Dan," hesaid, "see what's wanted."Dan was a tall, lanky youth with sandy hair and afreckled face, decidedly unattractive, except for hiseyes, which were bright and blue-those eyes thatare known at a glance to have good brains back oft·hem. His real name was John Dallas; he hadreceived the nickname of "Dandy," because in thecomposing-room of the Paragraph, an afternoonjournal in a thriving suburban town, where he hadstarted as. a printer, he never would use the towelwhich the others did. The printing-room towel isfamous-famously black and stiff as a shingle, fromthe thick ink and soap-suds with which it is be­smeared. J ohn Dallas would have nothing to do withthis; he always brought a clean one every morning,neatly wrapped in a newspaper. Hence the nick­name of "Dandy," which common usage shortened toDan, stuck to him, even after his ability had pro­moted him.Dan lazily got down from the high stool on whichhe was perched." He wants you, sir," he said, returning from theside-room where the telephone was situated. "It'sthe late news."Major Penn went to the telephone. "Hello!" hecried, and then proceeded to take rapid notes of the messages. A pause, during which the listener triedto touch up the notes he had taken; then some morescribbling."Hold on! You say Mc-what?" The editorstood in an attitude of expectancy, and nothing washeard but the buzzing of the presses across the hall.Presently the despatches were finished, and theeditor, resuming his seat, proceeded to transcribethe notes with more fulness. The cierk looked overhis shoulder, read the head-lines and then cut apigeon-wing."Well, you young monkey, what's up?""Nothin'," was the reply, "only I was hopin'Mack would knock the 'Cricket' out an' he's doneit. ""Humph!" The major's tone was one of disgust."Send this up," he said, pushing the report towardshim.Dan took the manuscript and sent it flying up rhelittle shaft which carried "copy" to the composing­room. -Meanwhile the editor went on: "Guesswe've got the best of the Star this time. Wonderwhere one-horse sheet's has been getting its latenews from?"Dan did· not attempt to answer for he did notknow. Just then the foreman's voice was heard com­ing down the speaking-tube." Aint got room fer all this fight. Form's mostfull. "" Must," yelled the proprietor.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL","We'll have to cut something out then."The editor uttered a mild imprecation. " KillBlount with a notice only, then. News is news."Blount was a prominent physician of the town, whohad delivered an address on "Sanitation and Sew­age" the evening before at. a meeting of the localboard of health.Upstairs the presses were humming, and down­stairs the edi tor and his clerk were both busy." Star," said a childish voice to the former. Theeditor loo l ed over the edge of the paper he was scan­ning. "Yes, �1Y little man," he replied blandly." Here is a nickel."The boy trotted out, well content with his sale.One glance and the editor bounded out of his chair,crushing the paper as he did so."Well, I never!" he ejaculated, "here it is in bigcaps. "Dan looked up. "You've got your World letterto write yet, and it's nearly five' o'clock," he said.The exasperated newspaper man resumed his seat;he picked up the crumpled Star from the floor." Dan," he said, "take your pencil and markevery item we haven't got."Presently the paper was returned with a few bluepencil marks. The editor ran his eye over the col­umns. "What's this you clipped?" he asked, point­ing to a hole in the paper." 0 nl y a li ttle personal."" A bout what?"" 'Bout a friend of mine. Guess he put it in him­self." The satisfied editor resumed his work, whileDan winked his eye knowingly, put a thumb in each'" arm-hole and whistled a few bars of a popular song.When the paper was out, Dan's work was finished.As he went up the street he met a friend-a line­man." Hello!". " Hello yourself, How's biz?"" Too flush," rejoined the lineman, "that stormknocked a lot of wires down.""Lucky ours didn't go," said Dan. "Say, didthe Star's go?"" No," and the lineman was off.Dan stood on the corner and read the" personal"be had cut out:" 'The engagement is announced of Miss JennieHolman, the pretty' central' at the telephone office,to Mr. Ed. Pendleton of the Star.' " 3" , Pretty,' " he mused. "He put that in to pleaseher. "The truth was that the bright office-boy was begin­ning to see how it was that the rival paper securedits late news.That night he did a little reconnoitreing around theoffice of the Star. The place was dark save for thewatch light, but a few doors above shone the ruddyrays from the window of a drug store."Henderson's drug store must be on the samewire," he thought, as he strolled in, called for a sodaand meantime carefully observed the location of thetelephone.The next day was the usual round. At 4 o'clockthe New York correspondent rang up the Para;;raph.Dan was all excitment and dashed out of the room,while the editor gazed in astonishment through theopen door; and then with a shrug of the shoulders,indicative of both curiosity and displeasure, begantaking the messages.Two minutes later Dan dashed into the drug store,slid behind the counter and grasped the receiver ofthe telephone, while the clerk retreated in alarmbehind the dispensary, thinking a daring day lightrobbery was about to be perpetrated. s-\Vhen Dan re-entered the Paragraph office, theeditor was busy arranging his notes." Well," he remarked, laying aside his glasses,"what's the matter? I thought may be the river wason fire.""N 0, not that," was the rejoinder, "but the Hil­ton House in Syracuse burned last night; big failureof Chicago bank; Iberia's not yet been sighted;World's Fair excursion train wrecked."Major Penn gazed at his clerk in astonishment."That beats all," he gasped, "that's just what I'mwriting up."" I know it."" Know it! Of course, you do. How?""Read the answer in the St ar," replied Dan,with a laugh. He laid the engagement notice on theeditor's desk, and then the whole story came out ofhow the pretty" central" girl told her lover all thelate news sent to the Paragraph.The manager of the telephone exchange wasamused at the nature of the complaint made againsthis employe; there was only one thing to do, how­ever. The StJ printed a wedding notice not long�flerwa'rd, and the Para,[_;Faplz still has the mon-opoly of the late news.

From theUniversity Register, and other sources we havegathered some items of interests.Prof. George E. Hale, who is now In Berlin pur­suing certain lines of Astro-Physical research, wasthe first professorappointed in theDepartment. Itwas chiefly throughhis efforts that thefunds were securedfor the great obser­vatory, and he hassince been activelyengaged in com­pleting the equip­men t. ProfessorHale was educatedat the Massachus­e t t s Institute ofTechnology, wherehe made a brilliantcareer as a studentGEO. E. HALE.of science and applied mechanics. He is now Asso­ciate Professor. of Astro-Physics and Director of theObservatory. His celebrated work on Solar Promi­nences and Faculce made at the Kenwood Observatoryis well known everywhere, and he has rendered asplendid service to Science by establishing the Astro­Physics, which has a very wide circulation amongastronomers and men of science in this country andabroad. In his chosen line of Astro-Physical researchhe is acknowledged to be one of the foremost authori­ties in the world.Dr. T. J. J. See was en trusted with the organizationof the work in As­tronomy proper,and he has from thefirst laid greatstress upon Mathe­matical AstronomyHe graduated fromthe University ofMissouri, and after­wards spent fouryears of study atthe University ofBerlin, where heproduced am 0 n go the r papers hiscelebrated Disser-T. J. J. SEE. tation on the form­ation of the Dou­Hi� remarkable work ill Cosmogony hasble Stars, already been accepted by the highest authorities inEurope, and will certainly revolutionize the theorieshi therto held respecting the formation of the heavenly ,bodies. The work is of a very mathematical char­acter, as it deals with problems on the very bordersof human knowledge, and brings to light phenomenawhich can only take place in the course of millions ofyears. In continu­ation of his workon the formationof the stars, Dr.See has recentlybeen in ti mat elyass 0 cia t ed wi thProfessor Bur n­ham in the inves­tigation of all theorb its of doublestars hitherto com­puted.Dr. Kurt Laves,who also worksmainly in Mathe­matical Astronomyreceived his earlytraining at the Gymnasium of Lyck, East Prussia;he afterwards spent five years at the University ofBerlin, where he produced a very able Dissertation011 the Mass of the Moon. He has also done veryvaluable work on the Lunar Theory, and has discov­ered some important errors in the works of Leverrierand Tisserarid.Prof. S. W. Burnham is the great authority onDouble Star Astronomy, and is famous throughoutthe length and breadth of the earth. Most of his lifehas been spent here in Chicago, where he began hisAstronomical career as an amateur observer, with atelescope six inch­es in diameter. Bymeans of this in­strument he d i s-an ast ron 0 mer,Professor Bur n­ham observed withthe Dearborn 18inch Telescope! and later with the Madison IS inchcovered over 600new double stars,and soon came intoc los e connectionwith such doublestar authorities asDem bowski andOtto Struve. Af­t e r he achievedsuch eminence as F. ELLERMANN.S. W. BURNHAM.UNIVERSITy O:B"' CHICAGO WEEKLY.Refractor, in each case extending his list of doublestars and obtaining micrometrical measures of great. value. Professor Burnham's last observations weremade at the Lick Observatory from 1888 to 1892,where his stars were increased to over 1200. As adouble star observer Professor Burnham is easily thefirst authority that has ever lived, and is so recog­nized by astronomers everywhere. No Americanastronomer is better known in the learned societiesabroad, or has reflected more honor upon Americanscience. ' The U niversi ty of Chicago is particularly fortunate in securing Professor Burnham's eminentserVIces .Mr. Ellermann has done good work in the Astrono­mical Observatory, where he has assisted ProfessorH ale in his Spectroscopic and photographic re­searches. During Professor Hale's' absence abroad,Mr. El lerrnann continues the work in progress at theKenwood Observatory.[We regret that we were unable to procure a picture of Mr.Kurt Laves to present with those of the other professors ofastronomy.c=Eri.]THE YERKES TELESCOPE.WE present to our readers in this issue a fineillustration of the great Telescope of theastronomical observatory provided for the Universityof Chicago through the munificence of Mr. Charles T.Yerkes, one of Chicago'S most distinguished citizensand patrons of science. The University may con­sider 'itself 'fortunate in having such a friend as Mr.Yerkes, who has advanced the funds for an observ­atory of such unrivalled magnificence. When theobservatory is completed its equipment will surpassin optical power all others in the world, and it willonly remain for the astronomers to make scientificinvestigations commensurate with their great oppor­tunities.The Yerkes Telescope has during the past sum­mer been on exhibition at the World's Fair, andmany of our readers have doubtless seen the vastmachine which the astronomers of the University areto use in sounding the starry depths. As the YerkesTelescope is j he latest in design, and embodies theresults of past experience in the construction andmanipulation of great Telescopes, a short descriptionof this instrument will doubtless be of interest.The glass for the great Telescope was cast inParis by the celebrated firm of Mantois, and wasoriginally intended for the University of SouthernCalifornia, at Los Angeles. The people of SouthernCalifornia made up their minds that they must havean instrument greater than the Lick Telescope, whichwas at: that time attracting the admiration of theworld by its performances on Mt. Hamilton. Thelocation chosen for the observatory was Wilson'sPeak, but as the finances of the University of South­ern California somewhat collapsed owing to shrinkagein real estate values, the university never began theobservatory, and the glass was allowed to rest in theshops of Alvan G. .Clark at Cambridgeport, Mass.,where the great lenses were to have been ground andcarefully figuredThis condition of the University of Southern Gali­fornia came to the knowledge of Prof. George, E.Hale, and he at once sought the means for securingthe great glass for the University of Chicago, withthe result, that Mr. Yerkes not only, purchased -the glass but provided for a complete observatory ofimposing grandeur. The glass is now being groundby Alvin G. Clark; and it is understood that his con­tract will be completed sometime next spring. Hesaid while in Chicago last August, attending theAstronomical Congress, that his work so far had beena perfect success, and that in the present undertakinghe expected one of the best results of his life.The great lens has 40 inches of clear aperture, isover 3 inches in thickness,and weighs over 750 pounds.The Lick glass has a diameter of 36 inches, and asthe light-gathering power is directly as the square ofthe diameter, it follows that the Yerkes glass will bemore powerful than the Lick in the ratio of 100 to 81.Hence the increase in light-gathering power will beabout 25 per cent; but owing to the location of theLick at an elevation of 4,200 feet, the glass at Mt.Hamilton will have about 10 per cent advantage inlocation, so that, everything taken into consideration,the' Yerkes Telescope will surpass the Lick by about15 per cent. The Yerkes 40 inch will therefore beconsiderably more powerful than any telescopehitherto constructed, and if judiciously applied to theheavens can hardly fail to bring to light discoveries ofpriceless value.The great Telescope has been constructed by thecelebrated firm of Warner and Swasey of Cleveland,Ohio, and is regarded as the greatest of their manytriumphs in the manufacture of great Telescopes.The illustration will convey a better idea of the Tele­scope than any description, but a few figures may beof interest.The tube is of sheet steel, 42 inches In diameterat the objective end, 52 inches in diameter at themiddle, and weighs 6 tons. The pier is of cast iron,and stands about 44 feet in height; when the Tele­scope tube is pointed to the zenith the glass is about75 feet from the ground. The length of the tube is64, and when the long spectroscope is adjusted thetotal length of the apparatus is nearly 70 feet. Thedome will have a diameter of 80 feet, and a height ofabout 100 feet. The declination axis is 12 inches indiameter and 12 feet long and weighs I Yz tons; thepolar axis is 15 inches in diameter at the upper bear-6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.ing, I2 inches at the lower bearing, and weighs 3Yztons.The Telescope is manipulated entirely by elec­tricity, and the astronomer at the eye-end by simplypressing a button can move the instrument in anydesired direction. The floor of the observatory willbe raised and lowered by electric motor power, sothat the observers can reach the eye-end of the Tele­scope without di fficulty. It is understood that thegreat Telescope will be used for observations whichrequire great light-gathering power, such as. measur­ing difficult double stars, observing faint satellites,nebulae and comets, and for the- investigation of the'spectra of the heavenly bodies. Smaller Telescopesand other apparatus will be provided for other linesof research. It will thus be seen that the University ofChicago will have unequalled facilities for researchin observational astronomy.It is gratifying to know that the Department ofAstronomy is to be as strong in Mathematical Astron- omy or Celestial Mechanics as it will be in thedirecton of practical observation. The abstrusebranches of Celestial Mechanics have been much neg­lected in American Universities of late years, and itis therefore proper that this subject should be givenadequate weight in the development of the U niver­sity.

" Let's do something dif­ferent this year; haven't you some poor boys down atthe store we could ask up or send for our coun trycousins ?""Bless your heart, Kate," he responded, "they'dbe miserable up here; it's well enough to havethem sometime, but Thanksgiving must be a familyaffair, or it isn't Thanksgiving to me. Ned's homenow, and Mary too, thanks to the University.What do you say to having the two families asusual, only let the girls go home and all turn inand get the dinner? Sister Nell would enjoy thefun, and Bob's wife too for that matter." It sounds well, but I'm afraid it isn't verypractical, Tom," objected his wife, "you see it takesso much cooking, and who would clear up? Andthen there's that niece of Nell's who is altogether toomuc? of a society girl to enter into the spirit ofthe thing."Oh, the cooking won't be hard. Use cannedthings and well .. canned things; and, as for Frances,I imagine that Ned's getting fond of her, and ifshe can't do anything but sit around in those pic­turesque gowns of hers with a shell pin stuck inthe top of her head, the sooner Ned finds it outthe better. Won't it work, don't you think? I'vekind of set my heart on it.""Yes, I think I can manage it; it certainlywould be different and very jolly, I think. I'll sup­ply my washwoman with a dinner and she'll clearup for us. I like the scheme myself, Tom." Thenwith an anxious note in her VOIce, "So you've noticed that Ned is attentive to Frances. Do yousuppose it means anything?"I can't tell; we'll have to leave it to Time.Here come the youngsters. Well, Mary, we've gota plan for Thanksgiving.""Let's hear it," answered the young girl as shepulled off her gloves. "what have you and mammabeen working at all evening?"The young�r element welcomed the plan mostenthusiastically, and Ned promptly printed the invi­tations in old English on brown paper, urging hisworthy relatives to come in their old clothes andbring aprons, as otherwise they were liable to haveno dinner.All accepted with alacrity, and much studying ofcook-books went on among them all, for the fun-Iov­ing host had offered a prize for the most palatabledish.Thanksgiving morning dawned bright and cold,but not cold enough to blight the big chrysanthe­mum which Ned displayed at church, nor to chill hisradiant expression as he escorted Frances to hi sfather's home. There everything was ready, a bigpile of aprons for men and maids alike; the bigstove roaring as if impatient to be at work, andmeats and vegetables piled on every table and chairin the kitchen. Since the dinner was to be a testof general information in cookery, the various disheswere drawn, and many were the sighs of the hap­less victims. Mary was quite resigned to preparingthe 'sherbet, which was to divide the heavier portionsof the meal, but poor Frances' dismay when she.Iound that she was to be responsible for the bigturkey was comical to witness." If I fail," she groaned to herself, "but I abso-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.lutely won't fail." Then she looked up from herwork, and said aloud: "Ned, where are you? Aren'tyou pining to help me?""Sure," responded the youth as he approachedher. " What is it?""Well, theoretically, I know all about this fellow.I've dissected his like and all that, but I never bakedone, and I need you to sustain my spirits and giveme the benefit of your large experience.""Well, I'm your man, anything to the half of mykingdom," answered Ned, with rather more warmththan the occasion demanded.By the combined efforts-of the two, Monsieur Turkwas finally consigned to the dripping pan, but notuntil Frances had burnt her finger over the singeingprocess and wearied her brain over a joint which,according to zoology, should have appeared, but didnot. Ned consoled her by remarking that the oldfellow probably had had rheumatism and lost the useof the left corner of his wing. The turkey beingdelivered over to the tender mercies of the oven,Frances went down cellar to see how Mary and thesherbet were progressing.""It turns so easily," said Mary in a discouragedtone. " I'm afraid the thing isn't freezing a bit."." Well, I'll see," returned Frances, "I've alwaysbeen fqnd of tasting things. Why, Mary, where isit?""In the ice-box cooling," said Mary in tragic tones,"I thought mamma had put it in for me; the freezerwas an shut up; that must be some of Ned's work,the wretch!"While Frances was confiding her woes to Mary,and was assuring her that she knew Ned thought hera perfect ignoramus, a stentorian voice from aboveshouted, "I say, Frances.""Yes, I'm here, what's wanted?""That heathen Turk wants frilling, what do youGall it? Something about dressmaking."" Basting, you benighted individual. Thanks, I'llbe there.". After many harrowing experiences and much real 7work, for dinnner getting is no joke, Frances, in amost fetching cap and apron, announced to the wait­ing gentlemen that dinner was served. The cooksappeared with beaming faces, which either indicated'that all had gone well, or that they did not knowwhen they were beaten. The men could not yetdecide.Such severe criticisms were probably never passedon a dinner, but, as they mainly concerned. suchtrifles as pepper and salt, the ladies managed tobear them with equanimity. Ned claimed the honorof bringing in the turkey, and triumph an tly bore itin to the strains of "Hail the Conquering HeroComes," which proceeded from the big music-box atthat moment. The Turk was brave with holiday gar­lands and done to a turn. Frances almost shed tears ofthankfulness when the host turned to her with thecheering remark, "Most as well as I could do my­self,' my dear."It was very importune and unconventional, but onthe next trip downstairs a most important questionwas asked by Ned in his usual unexpected manner,and was being very satisfactorily answered by theassistant waiter, when a loud ring from abovereminded them of present duties, Ned started inwith with the sherbet, Frances following mostdemurely.They were not going to tell, of course not, at leastso Frances had decided in her own mind, but whenthe father asked who was responsible for the tur­key's carrying off the prize, Ned rose in his placeand announced:"\Ve, that is Frances and I, but as I expectto endow her with all my worldly goods some day.I'll begin now by handing over my share of theprize. "The proud earnest -look gave meaning to thelight words, and, as mother and father looked fromone child to the other, they felt that it was welland the Thanksgiving dinner, though an expen­ment, had been a successful one.LOUISE C.

Thanks­giving day, 1892, was celebrated by the new borninstitution upon a cam pus hallowed by no tendermern orres. Amid half completed buildings, six hun­dred men and women, strangers in a strange land, sentup their prayer of thanks. To-day w� stand upon abeautiful campus, enclosed by stately edifices, fittingm o nu m en ts to generous lovers of education. Insteadof a single row of unfinished buildings we arein the midst of seven separate halls. Snell, Kelly,Beecher, Kent, Foster, Ryerson, and Walker, arethe new buildings which to-day surround us. Chi­cago has tur ee hundred more students in 1893 than ithad a year ago. For the increased number ofstudents, for the numerous buildings, and for thecontinued far-sightedness and munificence of J 01111D. Rockefeller, the University is thankful.** *AT this glad Thanksgiving season it seems butproper that the University and all connectedwith it, should return thanks for bel�efits received.Accordingly the WEEKLY has set aside a space inwhich many of the [acul ty and a considerable number$ ·75 of students have answered the question, "What arewe thankful for?" The great variety of answers wouldseem to indicate that, although quot homines, tot 7JO/U1Z­tat es, Providence has been able to satisfy multifariousdesires. Indeed she has covered an immense terri­tory. The WEEKLY has not been included among thosewho have acknowleged favors received. We wish todo so now. We return thanks to all those who haveaided us in our labors to make the WEEKLY a betterpaper; to those of the faculty and students, who bytheir kindly appreciation have filled us with hope andencouragement. Our largely increased patronageamong advertisers and subscribers has permitted theenlargement of the WEEKLY, and the introduction offeatures which, we think, have improved its appear­ance. Everything considered, the WEEKLY has everyreason to be thankful.. Providence has been especi­ally kind to us, and it is with joyous hearts that welook back upon the past, aring not to take up themagic lens through which to look into the future.** *A RECENT i�sue �f t.he U. of M. Daily containedthe Iol.lo wiug significant statement:Our game with Chicago will probably lead to an annual gamewith that University, and leave Cornell out, which seems to be .naccordance with the general sentiment of the students."Should it be agreed ·between Michigan and clii­cago to playa Thanksgiving game each year in Chi­cago, we see no reason why such a game should notoccupy the same place in the hearts of the westernlovers of the sport that the Princeton-Yale game doesamong easterners. From every point of view suchan arrangement seems desirable. Michigan is in thefront rank of western educational institutions; her foot­ball team has for years been among the strongest in thecountry. The distance between the schools is not great,a consideration not to be forgotten, as this will en ab:elarge numbers of Ann Arbor men to attend. Chicago isundoubtedly the greatest foot-ball stronghold in theWest, and a battle between the two representativewestern universities would soon come to be a powerfulattraction to Chicago people. For the past few yearsthe athletic society event of the season has been theannual Thanksgiving game between the Boston andChicago athletic clu bs. The interest in a great col­lege game would be far greater than in an athleticclub contest. Enthusiasm of "Chicagoans for thehome team, mingled with a sympathetic fellow feel­ing for another western institution, would make theattendance at an annual game very great.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY�HARVARD AND CHICAGO.AT HARVARD it is the undergraduates who makethe life of the University. The various socie­ties athletic, social, and scholastic are in their hands.And when Class Day brings the four years to an end,those who enter the graduate and professonial schoolsusually forsake their accustomed walks, and surveythe collegian from an exalted position, though deign­ing occasionally to explain how much better thingswere done in their day. Here at Chicago where thenum ber of graduate students is relatively so large,and where every other man you meet seems to belongto the Divinity School, the various elements have notyet been sufficiently amalgamated to determine what. our prevailing kind of life is likely to be. The under­graduates resemble those met with at such institut­ions as Northwestern, Ann Arbor, and Wisconsin.They are franker and more impulsive than the Har­vard man, and as a rule less dignified and less care-ful to observe good form, and often estimated at lessthan their real worth, because unable, as the countryfolk say, to put their best foot foremost. They havea closer acquaintance with the world as a place toconquer, but are seldom so well trained in books orin methods of study, and in consequence are obligedto work harder to attain the same results.The system of co-education, as in vogue here,will probably do more than any other single elementto develop a life peculiar to ourselves. Fromthe first, men and women have been treated alike:Both have their dormitories, with Houses modeledon the same plan. In class room they meet on anequal footing. The women do not, to be sure, yetplay foot-ball and base-ball, but they go to the gamesand display an interest that no girl borrowed for theoccasion could ever exhibit. They exercise in thegymnasium, they contribute to the WEEKLY, theybelong to the various societies,in short they are omni­present and omnificient. Elsewhere co-educationhas often been attended with upleasant results.Here where there were no opposing traditionsto weed out, it is probably impossible to find anyone who can give a good reason in defense of the oldmonastic system.No event makes a Harvard man tingle with moreenthusiasm than a Harvard-Yale game. For weeksbeforehand three or four hundred men have watchedthe practice on Holmes Field, and followed withintense interest the contests with the smaller colleg­es. When on the fateful day time is called, thefield is crimson and black with ten thousand spec­tators. In one corner favorably massed for cheering,the Yale supporters have taken their position. Theyhail the approach of their team with a sharp threetimes three. Then follows the deep and impressiveHarvard cheer, rising from the south side of the fieldbe answered from the north. At last the terrible suspense is ended. Stagg has pitched the first ballof the last game which he is to play against Harvardas a member of the Yale team. But I will go nofurther in this description. You have all read, manyof you have seen, how the victorious team is carried offthe field on the shoulders of its admirers. Victory forHarvard is followed by a bonfire on Jarvis Field.Anything that will burn is heaped up into a magnif­icent pyre, around which the boys sing songs ofvictory, and sound cheers of joy, until throats are toohoarse even for glorification. And as the em bers die,we renew our pledge of eternal loyalty to Fair Har­vard.In the month of June when creeping vines havecovered Massachusetts, and Harvard, and Hollis hallswith English ivy of the most delicate texture and thesoftest green, it is the custom for the Glee Club togather on the steps of Matthews, there to gain theheartiest and most sympathetic applause. The win­dow seats of all the yard dormitories, ancient anddignified Holworthy, Thayer, Weld, Grays, and thosealready named, are filled with men. Encores arethrice repeated, what" Yale men say" is refuted withthreats of that which "talks." Far distant sweet­hearts are serenaded, and the evening is crowned with"Fair Harvard."There is no sadder, no more joyous day at Cam­bridge- than Harvard Class Day. To friends fair andstern it gives opportunity for a look at the collegianon his own territory. The buildings are surrenderedto "spreads," and dancers hold the floor of Hem­enway Gymnasium and of Memorial Hall. Theseniors show their wit in Sanders theatre. Theystruggle for flowers around the Tree. And they alonefeel the sorrow of it all, the breaking of ties whichhave clasped friends together, the stepping onwardand outward into a world which may not be so kindas Alma Mater, and the leaving of that dear old yardwhich is hallowed by associations that are a greatpart of their lives.Few strangers realize the amount of time that aHarva�d man spends in the Library. The electivesystem with its accompanying change in method fromrecitation to lecture, and from text book to referencebooks, made necessary not only the magnificent col­lection of books which Harvard has, but also thenumerous large departmental libraries. And it ishere that the student is often to be found when thefond parent pictures him as buried in books in hisown little room, while the knowing uncle suspectsthat the lad is off on some sort of a lark.The number of secret societies at Harvard is sur­prisingly small, while the number of literary, scienti­fic, economic, and literary societies is very large. Nordo the two or three strongest exercise as muchinfluence as the senior societies at Yale. And insnap-shots mine have been, and I hope that I may bepardoned if I have assumed that the students of thefuture University of the West would be interested inthe University of the East. Each is similarly situ­ated on the confines of a large city, and each mustlook to its patrons, we to Chicago, Harvard toBoston, for the means to put it ahead in the race forsupremacy. To-day we are young. Harvard has.grown for more than two hundred and fifty years.But if Chicago puts into the building up of her Uni­versity the same energy she displayed III con­structing the Columbian Exposition, the same energyof which her own rapid development seems to proveher name the synonym, not many -years will passbefore in numbers, wealth, and reputation of ourinstructors, we shall come to equal the University onthe Charles.10 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.general it may be said that there is little tendency tothe formation of cliques. Even the class organizationswhich are called into being principally to look afterFreshman athletics become moribund until the ap­proach of graduation leads to the creation of a ClassFund and of a permanent Class organization.Religious life at Harvard is much more active thanIS popularly supposed. In his eagerness to avoidhypocrisy, the Harvard man almost invariably showshis least pious side. But the permanant prosperity ofvoluntary morning chapel, where six leading clergy­men of different denominations officiate for six weekseach during the year, and the flourishing condition ofthe several religious societies, together with the effect­ive mission work that is conducted in the slums ofBoston, are better indications of right attitude towardGod and man, than any amount of lip-sacrifice.I realize as I bring this article to an end what GEORGE LELAND HUNTER.PEACEMAKING AND PIE.U REALLY," said Mrs. Deering, pensively con­templating her own small foot as it restedon the fender, "I do believe the only thing they agreein is a liking for pumpkin pie.""0, Ruth!" said Emily, in protest against suchhyperbole."It's true, my dear. They are so dissimilar!Robert is steady, and Charley is fond of gaiety andis extravagant-just a little, poor boy! But Roberttakes the greatest interest in athletics and Charleysneers at everything of that sort. Robert never readsa novel; Charley reads everyone published almost;and Charley detests poetry, which Robert likes.""They might compromise on versified romances,"suggested' Emily, from the depths of her easy chair."If' they would only compromise on anything,"said Mrs. Deering, "but it is precisely what theywon't do. I suppose it was the difference in charac­ter that led to the breach between them-of course,their disagreement about politics and political prefer­ments was the immediate cause. Oh!" as Emilyraised- her eye-brows enquiringly, "I don't know justwhat the trouble was, but now they don't speak.Gregory and I are so sorry about it. To be sure,they bow when they happen to meet, but they nevermeet if they can avoid it, and one won't go to anyplace where the other is Iik e ly .to be. People don'tdare to invite them together.""Such a pity," said Emily, interestedly. "Theyare both such nice fellows. I am afraid, hom whatyou say, that the pumpkin pie is the only point ofagreement. Ruth-don't you think if they wouldmeet' and talk together they might become friendsagain?""I daresay. They are both amiable at bottom. Butwhen they won't meet-" "Ruth, dear, why don't you bring about ameeting?"Emily rose from her big chair, crossed the room,and laid her hands upon her sister's shoulders, withher most persuasive look."I?" murmured Mrs. Deering, dubiously."Yes, you. Invite them here together, say todinner. 0, yes! Why not to the Thanksgiving din- .ner? Just a family party-the most natural thing in'toe world, Ruth, since they are Gregory's cousins.And then you and I can smooth their ruffled tem pers,and the first thing you know they'll be talking. to­gether. Oh l do it, Ruth, I know it will turn outsplendidly. ""I don't know, Emily. They would be sure not tolike it, and one would certainly refuse the invitation-or both.""But, of course," said Emily with a laughinggleam in her grey eyes, ., 'they wouldn't know before­hand.". 'In that case," said Mrs. Deering, nodding mis-chievously at her pretty sister, "Robert at least wouldbe sure to come."A faint blush showed that Emily had perceived.the meaning of this remark, but she. only said com­posedly:"I' think we can. count on Mr. Charley, too.You'll do it then, .Ruthie?" with a second coaxingglance."You must take all the responsibility."«ou: I will.""'N' ell, then-'" said Mrs. Deering, in somewhatreluctant assent, and Emily terminated the conversa­tion by executing a triumphant pirouette in the middleof the room.Two weeks later, on Thanksgiving evening, Mrs.Deering was welcoming the tall, dark young man whoUN·IVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL Yoanswered to the name of Robert Keith, and whoglanced far too often at Emily while he was answer­ing the polite speeches of his hostess. Mrs. Deeringwas all the time on ten ter- hooks, for the other guestof the evening was soon to arrive-both ha-ving beeninformally invited to come early-and she dreaded tothink what might happen then. The fact that Robertwas in radiant spirits and evidently delighted to bethere could not entirely reassure her, and when, fromher seat by the window that commanded a view ofthe street, she perceived the approach of a blondeyoung man with a jaunty- air, she weakly succumbedto her fears. Declaring that little Georgie, her smallson, was crying, she made her escape from the room.A feeling of compunction towards Emily made herturn in the -doorway to add with outward serenity:"Gregory will be in very shortly. Some trouble­some business caller arrived just before you, Robert,but he won't keep him long, I think."She made up by her sweetest nod and smile for aslight incoherency in her final phrase, and hastenedup-stairs, supposedly to console the convenientGeorgie, in reality to listen with beating heart on theupper landing to Charley Keith's ring, and the soundof his footsteps in the hall below.Robert started and frowned when the portieresfell behind his elder brother, and Charley flushed onperceiving, behind Emily's ctdvancing form, Robertensconced on the sofa. The two men bowed withmutual awkwardness, while Emily, reflecting thatshe need not be supposed to know anything of thecoldness between them, tried �o appear unconsciousof everything. Though she ha� a sincere desire tosee the brothers reconciled, there was a spice of mis­chief in her composition that enabled her to see thehumorous side of the present situation. It brought agleam of fun to her eyes and a flush of excitement toher cheeks that made her look unusually pretty. Shesat half-buried in the depths of her favorite arm-chair,beaming upon her two companions--who both per­sistently regarded her and avoided looking at eachother--and she began addressing Charlie:"Mr. Robert and I have been discussing moderridrama.' Have you seen 'A Mysterious Visitor?'Yes? And have you ?"--to Robert--"and don't youboth like h:?""N 0," said Robert, with the unnecessary earnest­ness which he brought to the discussion of the mosttrivial subjects, "the comedy parts were very good,and very well taken, but the strained plot, the sick­ening pathos that tried to be pathos--bah! I dislikethat sort of thing in a play--ridiculous situations andover-done tragedy.""But you musn't expect perfection - in a play,"said Emily, smoothly, "and didn't you like it either,Mr. Keith?" with a friendly glance at Charley, whohad .been. stiffly regarding the op po site wall while hisbrother talked. "N 0, Miss Davis," he now responded; addressinghimself, as Robert had done, - entirely to the younglady. The young lady's heart leaped at that "No"--here was a subject on which the brother's thoughtalike. "There was too much horse-play," continuedthe disappointing Charlie. "N ow, in the second act,for instance, after that scene between Margaret andthe hero-very pretty, touching thing-why do theywant to bring in that impossible mother-in-law? It'san insult to the taste of the audience, you know," heended, while Robert looked black."Yes," answered Emily, unguardedly, "I think Iagree with you' there. One gets rather tired of themother-in-law in comedy."Robert, with his eyes on the floor, looked blackeryet when she thus upheld his brother's views, and,perceiving it, she broke off, added hastily" of course:except for that, I really enjoyed the comic scenes,"and sought about in her mind for a safer subject.There was a moment of dreadful silence. Bothbrothers were convinced that the present meeting hadbeen deliberately planned by their hostess, and bothresented the fact, though they were too polite to •openly express their feelings. Neither would volunteera word to help on the talk and it was Emily whopresently renewed the conversation, by remarking ina sprightly manner:" Of course you took in the chrysanthemum show?"while her glance confined the question in Charley.he answered, with a little shake of his "blondehead, that he had not done so, that he detestedchrysanthemums." 0, don't say that!" cried Emily, rememberingthat Robert had expressed admiration of the blos­soms in questions. ,; You must confess that theyare lovely in large masses" she continued almostpleadingly.Charley refused to agree with her, but, with theamiable desire of monopolizing her attention, andannoying his brother he proceeded to recountseveral witty sayings about the fashionable flower'with an appearance of enthusiastic interest. Emilyaffected to be amused, but was all the time glancilWuncomfortably at Robert, who, with a bored express�ion, was turning over the leaves of a magazine." If there is much more of this," thought the girldespairingly," he will make sorne excuse and go awayand the whole plan will be spoiled. If I could only,make them talk of something together. I hear thatchrysanthemums were the chief decorations at thatbig charity ball," she said aloud, "1- suppose' youboth attended that affair?"But alas! when Charley had admitted that he hadattended and enjoyed it, Robert expressed his dis­approval of that sort of charity and Charley smiledcontemptuously. When she tried to discuss the peoplewho had attended, while Charley talked freely, Rob­ert refused to be interested., Other topics, deeper,11and her scrubbing brush hit a bag of eggs on thetable. You can fancy the result-the eggs werescattered over every thing-I was liberally besprink­led. Poor Katie! I can remember yet how funny she'looked, haranguing us, and waving the scrubbingbrush with raw eggs running down her face."Emily laughed and very gaily, for Charley reallyin spite of himself, had thrown back his head with apeal of hearty mirth." So you didn't get the pie?" the young lady said,to keep the conversation going. It was Charley whoanswered her."Indeed we did not, but we had our revenge.We found the hollowed out rind of the pumpkin andmade a goblin's head--you know the way?--andlay in wait for Katie. I think she believes to thisday that it was a banshee--we never betrayed thesecret. ""Poor Katie!" said Robert thoughtfully. "Isaw her the other day; she looked worn and pinched.Her husband has been ill and her eldest boy has losthis job--Iaid off �ith many others, I believe."The speech was not directly addressed to Charley,but he answered it nevertheless." That so?" said he, with a sincere interest; "byJupiter, I think I know of a place I could get the fel­low into.""It would, be a great comfort to Katie if YOllcould" answered Robert shortly, but with a gratefullook--while Emily almost clapped her hands in herjoy at this un hoped for success. It was just at thismomentthat Gregory Deering entered the room, hiswife following shortly with an embarrassed face, andsoon after dinner was announced.Emily went through the courses in a state of mindeminently suited to the day; she was devoutly thank­ful to have passed through her ordeal so triumphantly.It was really a pleasant dinner, all partakers seemedto be in good spirits, and only one incident at allmarred the smoothness of the occasion. This was aremark 'of Master Georgie when the pie was served." If this is your fine pie, aunt Emily, that youmade such a fuss about cookin', I'd rather have someother kind," he observed with his mouth full.But the Keith brothers united in assuring Emily thather concoction was delicious, with such pleasing unani­mity, that she could not help casting a triumphantglance at her sister while mentally heading her list of"things to be thankful for" with the fact that theguests of the evening agreed in liking pumpkin pie.'A.

Neither had as yet addressed a wordto the other. It was very hard that things shouldturn out like this, she had never passed two suchuncomfortable hours as these last, and Ruth wouldbe sure to say" I told you so." A remembrance ofwhat Ruth had playfully described as their one pointof agreement decided Emily's next choice of sub­ject-her very last chance, see thought. "I must tellyou before hand," she began playfully after anothersilence, "that there is a great treat in store for youat dinner-at last, I hope you will consider it a treat.It is something which I cooked myself.""Oh! what!" "don't keep us in suspense" saidRobert smiling at her, and forgetting Charley forthe minute." He actually said us" reflected Emily joyously."Yes you shall know. It is a pie-a pumpkin pie andI made it-all myself. My sister has a new cook whohad never attempted one. I feel very proud of it."She forthwith launched into an account of the bak­ing and the little mishaps attending it and of howlittle Georgie had helped her and afterwards tried tosteal the results of her labors. She did her best tobe amusing and declared afterwards that it was thesoftening effect produced by thoughts of the pie; a lessmodest damsel might have imagined that it reallywas her droll way of recounting the incident-at anyrate both brothers were actually laughing when shefinished her tale, and Charlie, who had been the mostprovoking of the two, having done his best to keepRobert in an unpleasant frame of mind, at once said.merrily, drawn out of himself by a pleasant recol­lection:" I remember that when I was quite a little chap,I got into a scrape through my fondness for that verydainty'. I tried to capture one unbeknown to thecook.' It had just come out of the oven and wasblistering hot, you know. I cried out and dropped itwith a crash and of course she discovered my plans.She was on her knees. washing the kitchen floor andshe turned round and threw her scrubbing brush atus.

But Mlle. Zaidee and Senorita Florita said 'twas allright, and we must not doubt their veracity. It wasno fake, and Kelly, "fair Kelly, loveliest spot onearth," rejoices.It was a merry and much surprised crowd thatassembled within the walls of Kelly Saturday night.Noone was prepared for the astonishing spectacle.Kelly had been transformed into a veritable store­room for freaks, and the effect was startling. Oriental splendor! Speak not of it to me, Talk ofKelly! Kelly with her double-headed freaks, herSutherland sister, her giantess, her Lilliputiandancer. Rave over the beauty of the Eastern snakecharmer, of the winning ways of Topsy the inimit­able, of the queenly but demure Katisha. Let thetales of the lovely beauties of the Midway be untold,but rather' 'tell me uncle," of Nature's greatest idio­syncrasies. It was no fake, I repeat. No "40beauties from 40 nations," but "nature's greatestidiosyncrasies," rose up before our startled vision,until "a nickel in the slot". woke Topsy from herreverie. It may be added, parenthetically, thatTopsy was waxing reminiscent, watermelon and'possum occupying her thoughts. Topsy danced;and 0, that dance! What memories of the old banjo,of massa, of the "cotton and the corn," of the -prettyyaller gals. And then the Snake Charmer charmed,and one seventh (1-7) of the Sutherland sisterscombed her locks, and the two headed lady sang, anda lady (not a freak) dispensed popcorn. And in. thedarkened chamber sat in state the body-less lady,bloodless ventricled maiden from the far away landacross the sea. The faculty were well entertained.Cartoons of " pre x " and his learned faculty adornedthe walls of a private parlor, and Latin verses, whichundergrads could not translate without .pon.ies,brought back horrid thoughts of Academic grind.But I can not do the show justice. To be brief thethe bill as published below was carried out in everyparticular, and the honorable board of trustees cannow found another chair in athletics, as they will haveto buy no more chairs for Kelly.P;ogramme of unparalleled attractions for our ante-turkeyweek-Nature's greatest idiosyncrasies.

It is doubtless truethat a game in Detroit on that day would have been much moreacceptable to the great body of Michigan students. However, asit was found impossible to get a satisfactory game at Detroit, themanagement should be supported in its attitude in taking the bestdate it could arrange.While Michigan students doubtless feel that Chicago Univer­sity is an opponent scarcely worthy of our steel (notwithstandingthe unimportant defeat of our team by Chicago early in the sea­son), nevertheless no posssble loophole should be left to Chicago,and so crushing a defeat should be administered to her as willsilence completely the reckless boasts she has made at the time ofher victory over us.-U. of M.

There are somehumorous" Echoes from the Fair" well worth reading.-The Dartmouth.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYoTHERE'S a minor wail in the November winds.Yet the sunlight flickers feebly on the dewydiamonds which hang from the branches of the trees,now shorn of all their splendor. They seem likeaged queens whose youthful beauty brought the worldto their feet. N-ow, the flashing jewels seem but toemphasize the ravages Time has wrought. Thetrembling heads, once stately and crowned withbeauty, are now shaken by the storms of fate and thewinds of vicissitude. The worn and withered limbswhich can but feebly ward off the guardian of thetomb seem but to signalize the speedy approachof the winter of decay. We hear the faint far-offmurmurs of Requiem tones and the wind bears awaythe minor echoes of a trustful "Req uiescant in Pace.". There was a minor wail in the voice of the smallboy who, a few nights since, pleaded with his mammato get up and bring him a drink. In vain he argued,for mamma said, "Now, Johnny, I shall not get upagain. Just see! I never' wan t a drink.'" "Well,I shouldn't think you would," was the sullen response." I wouldn't either if I kept my teeth in a glass ofwater all night, like you do." Mamma got up !Seasonable to our thoughts of the great nationalfeast-day- Thanksgiving-is one of those charminglittle fables with which French authors delight toamuse and instruct their children. It runs thus:" One day the good Lord determined to give a partyin His palace. All the Virtues were invited, both greatand small, and all came at His bidding. The little Vir­tues were a great deal more agreeable and courteousthan the big ones, but all conversed with much enjoy­ment. But at length the good God remarked twodistinguished Virtues who did not seem to beacquainted. So He took one by the hand and lead­ing her towards the other, He introduced her-Mlle.Gratitude-to Mme. Benevolence. They regardedone another with wide-open eyes of curiosity and astonishment. For the first time since the worldwas created, they beheld each other."There is a depth of meaning in the little allegory,which will meet with responsive appreciation fromthose who have delighted to shower favors from pure" love of neighbor for the love of God." And a littleintrospection may show that we do not often bringthese heavenly virtues together as intimate acquain­tances. Happy the heart, which like patient Job's,can see ca use for thanksgiving even in the direstaffliction, for griefs and mercies, alike, come fromthe will of an All-Wise God. We have been sur­rounded with blessings this year. The treasuresfrom the world's farthest limits were to be reachedthrough a door whose magic "Open Sesame'" wasbut the earnest, intelligent desire to know and see .There seemed a fabled Amalthsea's Horn, constantlyreplenished from Beauty's stores, overflowing withall that could delight the eye and sense or appeal tothe intellect. Our Thaumatopolis is receding into theland of shadowy, phantom reminiscence; but thefruits of a Titanic enterprise remain.What though many an overburdened heart hasbroken during the long stress of agony caused by thefinancial strain.

Should not we,who are blessed beyond one deserts, find cause forthan ksg ivi ng in the thought that He permits us to"feed Him and clothe Him and take Him in."The public spirit which animates such men asJohn D.

How many in this world have cause to givethanks? The poor long for riches, the rich long forrest, a.nd those who should be most content are con­tinually longing and striving, hoping and waiting.But why should I give thanks?

I know I could have made you happy, andyet only a year ago I heard you say the word whichbound you to another for life-yes cast aside for apoor miserable struggling author." And again thestrong man was overcome, as memory brought backwith cruel distinctness all that might have been. "Iloved you too well," he went on as if addressing someone near, "to wish that you might rue it. Not evenfor a moment would I have your golden head bowed,in sorrow or your tender eyes dimmed with tears, and Ipray that you are happy. But reason is against mygiving thanks; it could only be from the lips, and notthe heart,", and this man who seemed to others afavored child of fortune went forth into the silent night to forget.

Ah no! it was God's will that Ishould struggle and not succeed through this lastyear. It was His will that I should know want andcare on days when I long for plenty, and I thankHim even for this.

V\Te enjoy it very much. I have recommended to you several friends.Yours truly,CHAS. W. CLINGMAN.GENERAL MANAGER'S OFFICEHANNIBAL, ST. JOSEPH R. R. CHICAGO, BURqNGTON & K C. C. R. R.ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 23, 1893.Edwards Parlor Lamp Stove Co.,69 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen :-1 have been using the Edwards Parlor Lamp Stove nearly a year, and I desire to say thatit is better in every way than you represented it to be. We found it worth many times its cost during thesickness of one of our children; and again during a mon th's sojourn at a northern su m rrrer resort. Thestove heated a room 14 x 18 feet, and answered the purpose of a gas stove for heating water and doing lightcooking for a sick-room. We would not be without the stove for any consideration If it was possible tosecure one. Yours very truly,W. C. BROWN,General Manager.We claim for the EDWARDS PARLOR LAMP STOVE, that it will heat a room sixteen feet squarein the coldest weather, at less than one cent an hour for fuel, and will at the same time furnish a 300 candlepower light, and is practical for cooking. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ODORLESS; NO SMOKE OR SOOT.Nothing could be nicer or more economical for a students' room. The above endorsements, that came to 11Sunsolicited, are sufficient to recommend it to anyone. These stoves are made in various styles and sizes,ranging in price from $6 to $12 each, and can be seen at our salesroom, 69 Dearborn St. For circulars, address.EDW��DS P��LO� L�MP STOVE eo.First Prize awarded by the World's Columbian Exposition. 69 Dearborn St., eH le�eo.Vlll ADVERTISEMENTS"Come to our Thanksgiving.
