IT. in November and only tho
day before Thanksgiving. On tho
morrow aunts, uncles, eousius,
. grandparents and all relations
would come and spend the day with
Mr. and Mrs. Church well and little
Florence. Mrs. Churehwell was the
oldest daughter of Grandma Grey, and
for that reason all tho relatives spent
the eventful day at her house.'
Florence was a sweet little girl,
much loved by all, and now that she
had only one day to wait before the
reunion of the family she was in great
excitement Of course it was Florence
who, on the following day, had to help
Nora set the table, and it was Flor
ence who had to taste tho candy to see
If it was sweet enough.
At 10 o'clock, the next morning the
'family started to arrive and kept on
coming until noon. Florence all this
time was much fondled and petted,
and Cousin Ned declared that there
would be no Florence left if, the hug
ging did not stop.
Games were played, songs were
sung, and all was fun and merriment.
"Oh, look," said Cousin Alice, "it is
snowing." And, sure enough, the snow
was coming down in big flakes. The
children all gathered around, the win
dow to watch tho storm, when Cousin
May saw a poor little girt trying to
walk against the wind. She was shiv.
ering with cold, and her only wrap was
a thin cotton shawl.
"Call her in and give her something
warm to eat," said grandma, who had
gone to the window when she heard
the children's exclamations of pity.
"Yes," said Mrs. Churehwell, "Annie,
call her in."
The maid addressed went to the door
and pulled in a half frightened and
half frozen, little girl. Meanwhile,
Florence had gained permission not
only to wait on the little girl herself,
but also gave her the dollar she hau
saved for Christmas presents. Flor
ence went out In the hall to meet her
and led her into the breakfast room,
where, before her she put all kinds of
goodies. Mrs. Churehwell said that she
Dad warm clothes for her, and grand
ma said she would inquire into her
story and see what she could do.
Aunts, uncles and cousins all deter
mined to help in some way. After eat
ing a warm dinner Florence took Edith,
for that was her name. Into the parlor,
where she was plied with Questions.
She told Mrs. Churehwell that her
name was Edith Greyton and that sho
lived in an alley right in the middle of
the next square; she also said she had
two brothers and one sister, all of
whom were younger than herself. Her
father was sick, and her mother had
to wash to earn a living. .After hear
ing the narrative and taking down her
address, Mrs. Churehwell and Grand
ma Grey took her upstairs, where they

promised to call and Me her mother.
In the playroom that afternoon Flor
once sat surrounded by her cousins, to
whom she was telling an idea. It
would be less than a month till Christ
mas, and why couldn't they all try to
euru some money and take Edith a
Christmas basket? ThU was voted on
unanimously, and elfiht little children
went to their homes thinking of what
they could do. That nluht. after the
8uow had stopped falling und the moon
and stars had come out to play, the
moon gazed down on the two happy
children, one happy thinking of the
good she had done and the other happy
thinking of the good that had been
done for her, and the moon smiled to
himself and said, "For those two tots
thte has been a happy Thanksgiving."

Local Thanksgiving Days.
The practice- of having local Thanks
giving days has prevailed to somo ex
tent iu America. On Oct. 15, 1814. the
mayor of ttaitlmore, upon the sugges
tion of the city pastors, appointed, the
following Thursday "to be observed as
a day qf thanksgiving to the Adorable
Disposer of all human events on ac
count of our recent deliverance from
the British fleet and army." That was
for the escape of Baltimore after the
attack on Washington in 1S14. A few
months later the newspapers stated
that "both houses of the Ohio legisla
ture on Wednesday, the 8th day of
February, pursuant to a resolution pre
viously adopted, moved in procession
to tho Presbyterian meeting house in
ChUIieothc and rendered public thanks
to -Almighty God for granting such bril
liant success to our arms at New Or
leans In the recent victories obtained
l y General Jackson and his compatri
ots." Chlllicothe at that time was the
capital of Ohio.

HAS A
Ht Used Hit Head.
In the American Magazine Charles
M. Schwab says:
"Andrew Carnegie first attracted at
tention by using his head to think
with. It was when he was a telegraph
operator ou the Pennsylvania railroad
under Colonel Thomas A. Scott. One
morning a series of wrecks tangled up
the line. Colonel Scott was absent and
young Carnegie could not locate him.
Things looked bad.
. "Right then Carnegie disregarded one
of the road's strictest rules and sent
out a dozen telegrams signed with
Colonel Scott's name, glviajt; orders that
would clear the blockade.
" 'Young man,' said the superintend
ent a few hours later, 'do you realize
that you have broken this company's
rules?'
" 'Well, Mr. Scott, aren't your tracks
clear and your trains running?' asked
the young telegrapher.
"Colonel Scott's punishment was to
make Carnegie his private secretary.
A few years later, when the colonel re
tired from olJlce, he was succeeded by
the former telegraph operator, then
only twenty-eight years old."
The Thespian's Fiasco.
Among Italians, a correspondent In
Rome tells me, tho origin of the term
"fiasco" for failure is believed to have
originated In the remark of an old Ital
ian actor. lie had In the course of a
play to deliver a somewhat lengthy
monologue, In which he invariably
scored a great success. It was his
habit to always hold some object or
other In his hand, changing the article
every time he appeared and never us
ing the same thing twice. One even
ing, seeing a wine battle (called In
Italian fiasco), he seized it and pro
ceeded on the stage to pronounce his
soliloquy. Whether it was that on that
occasion the audience was extraordi
narily difficult to please or whether it
was that the actor was not up to his
usual form, the fact remains that for
once he did not obtain his customary
applause, from which time the phrase
"fare fiasco" has become general In
the Italian language. London Chron
