My friend, there ought to be a lesson 

for yoa In tho pilgrim fathers' grutl- 

tude to God for the supplying of then* 

necessary! temporal wants. .Ton may 

not be a millionaire. You may not 

have a big bsnk account nor enough 

money to keep yoa hi ease If you 

ceased to work: but. like the pilgrim 

fathers of old. on this Thankflslvlng 

day of ISMS yoa can thank. God that 

yoa have a home In which-to Uve. no 

Clatter how humble that home may be. 

Son can thank (3od that jou have 

enough clothes to keep yoa warm and 

enough good, plain, wholesome food to 

eat- Should your -table- be-slmply 

spread yon can thank God with the 

some hnmble. beautiful Christian spir- 

it with which Elder William Brewster 

of Plymouth colony gave thanks- Al- 

though the bread supply and the coffee 

and tea supply and nearly all other 

supplies for months had failed, and he 

and his family, for weeks at a time 

were compelled to live upon dih alone, 

yet William Brewster used to gather 

his children about his table and utter 

devout grace. With nothing bat 

dams and oysters for breakfast, din- 

and tea month In and month .oat, 

William Brewster.used to thank God 

"that they were permitted to enjoy the 

abundance of the sea and the treasures 

hid to the sand." 

But. although a tew of us may thank 

God merely for the bare necessaries, 

most of xa can thank him next Thurs- 

day morning for the hmariesas welt 

Oaf national prosperity was never as 

great as today. If we were to croas 

the seas and recount to the Inhabitant* 

of any other land all the temporal 

hlemlngs with which we are surround- 

ed, those foreign Inhabitants would not 

believe the Utopian stories we would 

tell them. They would be. as skeptical

Utfle daughter to my nttsbnrg home. 

Being very tired from overwork,' I lay 

dowp to. tho cars to'sleep. Meanwhile; 

my little baby daughter began to smile 

and boa her bead at a stem faced man 

reading across the aisle. She held out 

ber hands for him to take ber. After 

awhile his face lighted up with an an- 

swering smile. Be took- the baby on 

bl» lap. and played with her nour after

Then next Thanksgiving day after 

yoa have helped everybody all round 

and after ypu have thanked God for 

this stern faced man came to ^ne and |all your many blessings, and after you 

said: "Young man. I do not know who • have also worshiped In God's aanctu-

are willing to give me th!s*bnby and 

let me adopt her I will give yoa a cer- 

tified check for $.•50,000, nnd she shall 

be my daughter and Inherit all that I 

have." Of course I refused the offer. • 

I told that man there was. not enough 

money in all the treimury of the United 

8totes to buy my desh and blood, and. 

though you may laugh' when I talk 

about my tM.000 I^by, yet.I am not 

potting »ny higher valuation upon tlie 

physical lives of any one of my chil- 

dren than every father sitting before 

me today would upon his. If we par- 

ents thus place so high'our physical' 

valuation of our children, shall w« not' 

also place Just as high the spiritual val- 

uation? Like the pilgrim fathom of old, 

•hall we not rejoice thls.comlng Thanks-

not only living to Christian homes, but 

also In Christian ' neighborhood* and

blessings which God has showered 

upon yoa.during the last twelve months 

soften your heart In gratitude to him. 

May the vacant chairs In your dining 

room teach yoa that your earthly time

yoa here and now resolve to love your

Among other things he said. Tell

The pilgrim fathers rejoiced 'In the 

hope that they should soon be reunited 

wttb their loved ones who were left 

behind to Leyden. The whole com- 

munity of pilgrims which In 1010 set- 

tled In Leyden did not cross the Atlan- 

tic to itttO, as many people, suppose. 

So. Only a waBII part—120 men. wom- 

en and children—came nrst. . The vaut 

majority of that community remained 

behind. .And so these American pil- 

grims aa Plymouth's flrst Thanksgiv- 

ing day were living In the hope that 

John Robinson and the' absent mem- 

bers of bis' spiritual flock would soon 

be by their side. They-did not then 

rw that death would drst claim 

their beloved pastor and that his bones 

would be buried to the. little church-

_jo; of. the sges hsve twrtlllpd that

were bat for tbe aelf sacriflclng love of 

their muses, who not only rocked them 

to sleep when they were tired, but also 

started their little feet In Uw paths of 

rectitude and piety. The Earl of 

Bhaftesbnry declared that the greatest 

Inspiration for a true religious life was 

lostfJled into blur* by the- falthfnlness 

or hla Christian none. Tbe mighty 

..Umtate, tha late Alexander III, the 

jcur. of oil the Bmndas. •honored the 

faithfulness and the devoted: love of 

his nnrse. Sui rounded by the grand 

dukes of Bussla far three long miles 

he followed afoot after the hearse 

which carried .the mortal remains of 

that dear friend through a --- -- 

team of 8L Petersburg. And as the 

dying French soldier, writhing onder 

the sorgeotfe knife, cried out. "Doctor, 

cut a little deeper, and yon win see. 

pictured noon my heart the face of. the 

mighty emperor,** so, many of ns. If 

we cot down Into the hearts of the 

Citthfal servants who hsve watched 

over as to oar childhood,.could there 

find oar own faces, becaase the hearts 

of these faithful servitors-best with 

lave for ns.' ' 

Bat though many of oar household 

servants may be to as and to our chil- 

dren, as tho Earl of Sbaftesbury's 

Christian nnrse wsa to him. yet no true 

father or mother can afford to delegate 

the physical, moral and religions traln- 

tag of' then* ^children "to ~servsnts,~no 

matter how falthfol and trne those 

servants may be. No woman can take 

the place of a true mother by the side 

.of ttxtr crib. No man can do for the 

boys what a consecrated father Is able 

to do when bo Is faithful to tha trust 

which God has given to him. 

Oh. man, studying the debit and.

op yoar hundreds of thousands of dol-

' Good old Dr. Alexander of Princeton 

college once preached. upon this text: 

Troln up o child In the.wny he shonld 

$ix and when be to old he-will not'de- 

part from tt." He preached to.prove 

that nearly all the sins wblcb men and 

women practice con ultimately be traced 

back towrong parental trolulnsortothe 

hypocrisies of parents who have lived 

In the homo a religion of sham. After 

the sermon was over some of Dr. Alex- 

ander's friends' said to him: "Professor.' 

It to absurd for you to preach a sermon 

Uke that If what you say to true, tben 

you yourself have been living the wrong 

kind of a Christian life or else you have 

not trained yonr children as yoa should 

have done.- Ton know, doctor, that 

your boy .Dick to one of tbe worst boys 

In ail Princeton college. He to as wUd 

as wild can be." "Oh." answered the 

good old doctor, "you did not bear my 

text aright My text was. Train up a 

.child hi the way be Bhould go. and 

when he to old'- Dick to not old yet 

Just wait awhile, and the boy will come

the truth. Dick did come ant all right 

In a few years he not only gave his 

heart to.' God. bat be went to New York 

dry and entered business as a Chris- 

tian layman, and long after bto hon- 

ored father bad pillowed bto bead in 

the dust Richard Alexander, the wild 

Princeton student wielded a mighty 

influence for God nnd for heaven. 80, 

my friends, today, as Christian men 

and women, we must realize that the 

whole future destinies of our children 

ore largely dependent upon as. If we 

live consecrated, godly Uves and train 

up our children In tbe wny. they should 

go, they will also become consecrated 

Christian men, and women, and if We 

ore hypocrites and do not train them 

BB they ought to be trained then our 

children will also tarn out wrong. Bad 

parents have bad sons and daughters; 

good parents produce good children. 

There to hardly an exception to the 

rule. 

Parental examples and training In- 

variably reproduce themselves in the. 

Uves of ehjldnn. There to a beauti- 

ful atory told of n noted king to tha 

far east who ' was . about to take a 

Journey Into a remote part of his king- 

dom. .He therefore sent ahead of him 

a trusted minister to build for his royal 

mastera suitable palace where the king 

could lodge. In tbe, for country. When 

royal courier reached the remote 

part of the kingdom, he found a plague 

raging there nnd people were dying 

by thousands and tens of. thousands. 

Bo, Instead of taking the money from 

the royal treasury and spending it-for 

bricks sod stones nnd mortnr, tbe"royal 

messenger spent It for bread and medi- 

cine. With It be dug graves- and 

burled tb-t dead. With It he bought 

dothing-to protect the Irving. And 

orben the king came and found what 

bis messenger bad' done Instead of 

his minister, be 

him. He said! "Oh. faithful

palace of parity In the bearteiaof our

lnflne«v-fT of noble. Christian par- 

ents upon the-Uves. of' their children 

cannot be described better by me in 

dosing than- by telling-the history of 

my old home, the borne of my boyhood! 

My. father and mother had a large 

brood—wo were seven. I never knew 

any one of those seven children to have 

more Indulgence than the others. TRw^-b 

bad the fall measure of a parent's love.. 

When troubles -*-^*"-* to that t^ww, and 

many troubles did come, we always 

found that father nnd mother had a 

dtvtne strength given to them to bear 

those troubles. Way back In the dim 

past long before I was bom. they had 

set tip the family altar. I was carried 

to that sacred altar when so young 

that I sometimes used to fall asleep 

daring the prayers. My father and 

root her were not bound together so. 

much by ties of luw as by unbreakable 

ties of love. The Brut question father 

always 4 asked when he entered the 

home was. "Where to your motber r* 

Tim riT«t qiiwriifrm tn/rthiT ask&d wben 

she cams home was. "Where 1 Is your 

fatberTT They were aide by side at 

that marriage nUar.' They were' side by 

side m tne Christian training of their 

Children. • TrTgn-**- In hand as partners 

they spread two tabors for theU- Chil- 

dren. The one was for the sacred com- 

munion of family worship; the other 

was the dining table, where- we chil- 

dren were taught to love one *"*" t fr(T 

Christ Was asked to Btt at both tables. 

That .parcntnl Influence hi tho h->mf? 

of my -HK|f^*rtMift«i was a blessed one. In 

my coUeg-e days I used to cherish the 

bops that that Influence might b0 con- 

tinned b my own home by the earthly 

of my > ffn^h^f. and - mother, 

who I hoped would pass the twilight 

of then- Uves by my own fireside. Bat

-rrnmabrond.-'.snid Frank M. Morris 

ot tho Book Bhop, "I heard a folce 

cry, "IIOTI'VO sliced o drive, and you're 

tn the gmssr ' For a moment I won: 

dered whether I was at sea or on the 

Bxmonr links at homo, I saw n.gray

was Quito sure oar'vessel was/ a night 

oat from London and on tho open sea- 

Bat thero were people on deck undoubt- 

edly playing golf—playing It with the 

absorbed, eager air that marks the dev- 

otee of the game ob dry land." 

Ocean golf to one of the novelties of 

se trnn-f^tlflnti** summer season. It 

was .flrst Introduced on the boats of the 

Atlantic Transport line and has. been 

taken ap enthusiastically on tbe larger 

steamers of oil Unes. Mr. Morris ro- 

turned on the MInnctonka. 14.000 tons 

barden. COO feet from stem to stem 

nnd with on after deck 2QO feet long 

and -40 feet Ip beam, Golf links had 

been laid out on this deck In the lee of 

the cabin. • ' 

"The golf course about the deck," 

said Mr. Morris, ''consisted of nine 

circular chalk marks n foot In diameter 

in Ken of holes. The golf balls were 

ahuflleboard disks, five Inches across 

and an Inch thick. Tho clubs- were 

shudloboard sticks, with ends hollowed 

oat to Bt the disks. With these clubs 

the.disks were sent sliding about the 

decks by vigorous shoves Instead of 

free strokes. The haxnrds of the course' 

were furnished by a whcelhoose 30 by 

SO feet in size, ventilators, two'hatchca, 

four donkey cnslncs, a capstan, spars, 

coils of rope and a galleyway leading 

to the deck below.. ' 

"A good player could make a round 

of eighteen' boles In half ' or three- 

quarters ai an hoar. The third hole 

required a display of skill nnd a slight 

knowledge ot billiards. It toy snug, 

behind a group of big ventilator fun-' 

nela. Tho only way to rench it in n 

single stroke - was to drive your disk 

Bgulnst the Bide of tbo after hatch and 

make It carom toward the bole. In 

driving from the fourth to the fifth 

hole yon bad to reckon with tbo wheel- 

house. which lay "between, them. In 

working hack from the toffroii to the 

cabin you entered on a Uttle campaign 1 

full of difficult problems. The way. waa 

beset with Bach bankers' as a steam 

donkey, a scuttle over a galleyway. a. 

number of ventilators and a capstan. 

In making the final bole, yoa drove 

yoar disk straight from one side of tbo 

deck to the other through a three foot 

alley between cabin and hatch. . 

If tbcr« was a sea on. and the boat 

rolled the dlfflculties of play became 

complicated. - Then, In driving, you 

had to allow'for tho list of-the deck. 

If yonr stroke was not sure, there was 

the annoying possibility that your disk 

would turn on edge and roll a hundred 

feet or so-down the dock and fetch 

up In the scuppers. When tbe disk 

went Into tbe gutters, tho players said 

It was In the grass." 

"There was-.nothlng bot golf aboard 

from the beginning of the voyage—to 

the end. Billiards, cbosa, -whist and 

poker-were waved aside for golf. Every 

passenger became as brown as a berry 

from playing golf on deck to the wind 

snd sun.' At times they almost fought 

for possession of the l"*»rT# We. hud 

match plays, foursomes and one tour-

of tho' members snld that he had heard 

of a dentist at Brcslaa who supplied 

artificial, teeth. After long debate the 

council appropriated money to send 

the aged watchman to Breslnu to get a 

set of new teeth. - 

In dne> time the watchman .reported 

that bis teeth- had arrived. That night 

the burgomaster sat up to hear the re-

no whistle at 10, nt 11 or at mUnlght.

The kindling of bonfires on' hills Is 

the. simplest of celebrations at any

Urea at tliclr festivals In February, 

May, August and November. Wales 

seems to' have been a country espe- 

cially tenacious of this custom. Each

as It was dying out each member 

would throw a white stone into It the 

stones being marked far future Iden-

to a recent periodical, tbc writer says, 

"My own feeling Is that Charles

flippant as It sounds." 

It may bo Interesting to our readers 

to notice that the same sentiment Is 

attributed to Gray to ono of the famous 

essays of old Abram Qayward. In his 

essay on Alexandra Damns, the 'author 

says: "To Ue on a sofa Bod read eternal 

new novels of Mnrivanx or Cr«billon

The Toeon theater hi Havana, one of 

tbe lamest and most famous In tbe 

western heulspbere, was built hf an 

old reprobate, Mnrtl; who was a no 

torlotn pintle In his day and obtained 

Immunity for himself by. betray Ing his 

comrades Into the hands of the Span- 

ish untharitlesi. One dark and rainy 

night Marti slipped by the sentry 

BOnrfUruj tbe palace In Havana and 

entered tbe apartments of the captain 

sencral. who was writing; at a table. 

When tho governor general raised hl» 

eyes and saw the cloaked flgaro before 

him, he reached for the bell. 

"Stop, your excellency!" cried the 

stranacr. "I am hero on a.desperate 

enterprise. -1 have come to deliver Into 

your bands every'pirate on the Cuban 

coast upon one condition—a pardon for 

myself." ...'•... . 

rXau shall hare. It," was: tbe answer. 

"But who. are you?* ' 

"I am Mnrtl. and I rely opon tha 

promise you have Riven me." 

Preparatory- to this Interview Marti 

had appointed a rendesvons for the 

different bands, to which he conducted 

the Bpanlsh force, and every ulnta 

was captured and righteously narrated. 

As for Marti, he was not only Psr- 

doned, but was given • monopoly ot 

tha sole of flsh In Havana, which made 

him n rich and thus eminently respected 

citizen, who ended his days In the odor 

of snnctlty.—Army and Havy JoasnsV

If any properly owner In Oaean City 

has doubted the authority of common 

council to compel the laying of a side- 

walk where one does not exist, or 

where the sidewalk In question la not 

satisfactory to the municipal body, he 

Will be Interested In a decision just 

handed down by the highest court In 

this State. . 

The court of errors and appeals de- 

cided, a few days ago, that a munlcl-. 

pallty has the right to compel the lay- 

ing or relaying of any sidewalk on the 

public highway. This Is' the first 

sidewalk decision handed down In 

seventy years, the hut being by Jus- 

tice Ford, in 1882. < ' 

The easels of great Interest to every 

community in the State.. The action 

was brought by the Suburban Land, 

Improvement and Real Estate associa- 

tion against the borough of Vallsburg, 

contesting the right of the borough 

authorities to compel the laying of 

what It deemed a! proper sidewalk. 

The case has been In thecourts about 

wo years. ' • 

The decision Is remarkable for two 

reasons that It establishes a prece- 

dent by making the enunciation In syl- 

labus that a decision by the supreme 

court upon certlorari, Is binding upon 

the court of errors and appeals. . 

The opinion In the present case .was 

written by Justice Garrison. The liti- 

gation began after the common council 

or the borough had passed a resolution 

requiring the owners or property along 

Sooth Orange avenne In the borough 

to lay artlflclal stone sidewalks five 

feet wide.. The Suburban company 

had already put down blue flagstone,

them In compliance with the ordl-

JAPANE8E ART AND ARTISTS. 

At about the time tint American peo- 

ple saw theslnnular beauty and dovel- 

opment of irt In'Japan the people of 

Japan; recognized the vast wealth In 

tbe United States.' Tho result was a 

limited Invasion of Auurlcnn territory 

by "all sorts of little profeHalonala from 

tho njlkndate. One. n fresco painter, 

said recently: :' . : ' 

"I find New York a better market 

thiin Tokyo,, wbe« 1 fbrtneriy-hatl-my- 

studio. Much better prices aro' paid 

here, nnd there, to very much (ess com- 

petition. I Ilko my new. customers, but 

havo great trouble • with them because 

they do not understand art, and all 

desire mo to do ridiculous things. Thus 

a abort tlmo ago n woinnn wboso bou- 

doir, I wne decoratlnu caino to'mo and 

said: Those birds arc. beautiful, and 

the leaves and .water make my eyes 

glisten, they are no f ull. of BUhUght 

Now please put in two or three big 

cobwebs ' and' a dragon—a nice, big 

droBon, that Is dcllclouidy. hideous.' 

explained to her tbat thesr) things were 

Incompatible, but nho would bave her 

way, and I did tbo .work, and I'm 

ashamed of It I have many friends 

hero who have about tbe BUUIC expe- 

rience ns myself. One Is a sculptor, or 

wood carver, who nuikcs lum-rcllcfa 

on Japuueso subjects, but. If necessary, 

will do It on American'subjecta An- 

other Is an embroiderer, whose ucedlo 

b) ns skillful as a painter's brusb. A 

third Is a china decorator and a fourth 

a fuumaker. The funmnker, I am sor- 

ry to say, does not seem to bo. appre- 

ciated. American women want Ivory 

or mother of pearl sticks, wttb lace, 

and u|lk on them, which aro clumsy 

nnd usly tuluus. but do not seem to 

cure for tbe gruceful couecptlons of 

I Jnpun. where a fan Is as much n mat-, 

ter of toilet as a gown or a. Ikonnet.' 

"There Is also an artist lu tortoise 

shell, who la prosperous: but. alas for 

art, moat of bis' work cniiHlHts' In re- 

pulrlug .tortoise shell objects and'not 

In; creating beautiful dtvlRiis. The oth- 

er day bo repaired a tortoise shell boat 

which IB a child's toy ut UOiuo. and ho 

received for his work 15, which Is ten 

times what the boat would cost at 

Yokohama.- One or our artists stayed 

hero a »bort time and then went Imck. 

Ho wns an art confectioner and could 

I make suirar and otber thluss Into any 

conceivable form—muu, plant or anl- 

uiuL I have seen' him make n Uttle 

temple and a urove out of sugar which 

was 'as beautiful an n painting, .but'

I retnnrked, drawing np tbe tlgjrest

to the hearth. 

- "Who sent It?" I Inquired. "Did It

Was looking nt uiu wltb so queer an 

expreaalon, hitlf pvultent. half sorrow, 

ful and wholly puxslcd, that I felt Im- 

pelled to come to tbe rescue. 

"May I .liuiulre, Hla. what your ob- 

jection Is to tbo good wlubes of your 

friends, aud wby you desire to destroy 

that gift of Cameron's?" I Inquired, 

poking up tbo Ore. • 

"Wby. bow In the world did you find 

oat he sent It r" asked Sue In wide eyed 

surprise. 

I silently took tbe cover of. tbe box. 

wblcb lay on the table, and turned It 

toward ber. Jler name, written la Her- 

bert's big characteristic scrawl, waa a 

aulttclent explanation. .

ducd tone, edging close to me on her

Something positively terrible! I bave 

been half wild over It all day longi and 

you were so mean as to stay away op 

to this boor—i o'clock In tbo after-

Now, • considering that I had gone 

most reluctantly on an urgent tele- 

graphic uuuiniona from an Old Invalid 

client (and a wealthy one), who de- 

aired. 1 knew, some alteration In hla 

Will; that I had done without break- 

font to catch the early tralu; bad driven 

six miles from the station, in the teeth 

of a biting north-wind; bad worked 

bard all day and bad hurried back to 

town to dlue this special evening at 

home wltb my unreasonable young sis- 

ter. It seemed to.me I hardly deserved 

her present keen reproach. 

"Just BO." I remarked, without at- 

mptlng nn explanation of the whys 

and wherefores of my enforced ab- 

sence. "As I ntn here bow, suppose 

you tell me what the trouble la." 

fit's awfuir aguln ejaculated Susan 

Impressively, and I began tb believe It 

really must be. for there waa Just tbe 

suspicion of dimness In ber big eyes. 

"Awfull" I repeated lightly, scanning 

rloacly Sue's lovely. Hushed, perturbed 

face. "What to tbe catastrophe- wblcb 

has befalleu. during my absence? Has 

a bdrgla'r carried off your diamonds?

This waa not magnanimous, but I

Dou't say.a word about your aches

Don't pay your debts any sooner than
