NOT A GRANDMOTHER

ONE THING THEY CAN'T HAVE IN THE FAR WEST, A Serlons Drawbaek to a New CountryOne' that Time Alone Can Remedy Little Children Who Knnw Orandma" Only by Hearsay. Feast-Day on '-he Plains. Can vou Imagine, in the?e closing days of" the year, with Thanksgiving close upon us, a whole land without grandmother? Thar, seems almost incredible in the long-settled communities of the East an l South, where no family reunion is ciirplete withcufc at least one venerable figure, so familiar and so dear to all in that household from the days of ehildho d's earliest recollection. ' Yot bo! vreen the Rooky Mountains and the Piioifio coa t there are hundreds of thousands of homes THE GBSAT FEATTRE Or XHANRSOJVlKO IB THE BAST. where children are growing up without a glimpse of their own or any other childs cTandmo her. They know notb ing of the dear old face, the soft gray hair, the quaint figure of that patient little woman who. day after day, sits in the quiet e iiver of the old home knittine-. knittinsr. and still knitting. while her thoughts are wandering far away into the long ago of her child hood. They Know nothing oi ner gentle chidinga, nor can they appreciate the quiet and kindly amusement in the household at grandmother's expense when, after searching the house for her "specs," she is reminded, in response to her anxious inquiry, that they are under the frills of her cap. Think of Thanksgiving without grandmothers: Why in the land of grandmothers it is she who on that day has first claim upon all our gallantry and chivalry. A white-haired belle, on that day at least, with gray-haired sons and daughters and troops of huppy children around to do her honor and bring her comfort and cheer. Thousands of Western boys and girls know nothing of this. A grandmother la to them almost as much of a myth as the heroine of a fairy story. A little boy in the Rocky fountains on being tola some events about his grandmother in the far East actually asked what kind of a being a grandmother was. It is true there are some grandmothers in the far West, bnt they are imported from the East and South. For most of them the Weat is too far away. No doubt their hearts often reach ont ten-, darly toward their grandchildren in and beyond the Kooky Mountains. As to native-born grandmothers they are very hard to find west of the Rooky Mountains. With the exception of the early settlements in the Oregon country, the Mormons of Utah, and the occasional home of the earlier trapper in the mountains or ranchman in California, the civilization is too young for native-bcrn grandmothers. it was only lorty years ago tnat tne great rush was made to the gold fields of California, and not until ten years later did the tide of immigration start for Pike's Peak. Possibly, California may produce a lew very youthful grandmothers, about, say, forty years of age, but you could scarcely find a native-born grandmother of even that early age in Colorado. Nevertheless the State has a population of nearly 2,000,000. Nebraska, too, has hardly a grandmother to the manor born. Those two States wore a waste of prairie and plain thirty-six years ago, the home of the buffalo and the Indian, where the face of a white man was hardly known. In the older "new West," consisting of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louieiasa and Texas, they have grandmothers of their own. But you can look upon all that vast region west of the States bordering immediately on the west side of the Mississippi River, and- Texas, as having scarcely a native-born American grandmother among millions of people. That region includes more than onehalf of the land over which the flair of the Republic floats on Thanksgiving MASKSGIVUrO OX THE PI.A1XS. Day, vet a native grandmother can scarcely be found. Thanksgiving without grandmothers is dreary indeed, but tho Western grandchildren forget them not. The grandmothers in the East, in far-away New England and in the Southern hind, may rest assured that the hearts of their Western grandohidren o oufr-to-them as tenderlv as' if they had known them and been rocked -f by them In the cradle. It is a kind of j desert spot ln children's lives not to ' have Men a grandmother and felt her I tender caresses. The birthplace of some of those earlier grandchildren was, in the ' pioneer days of the far West, in the ' old freight wagons and prairie sohoon-j

But American women j stopped not the -e. They, too, braved the wilderness of plain nnd desort, and I the storm and dangers of unknown j i mountain passe--.

But they , aro proud of their birthplace on the ; f eoting trails of western empire, at a time when b: ave men were blazing a pathway for new commonwealths to the Pac'fic' and still mo e heroic wives went with them. Sometimes this story was a sad one. A grave was aug: a coffin was made frcm a few pine boards.1 torn irom tno wag n dou. ner sisters tor at such times an women are listers made what preparations they could; mother and child were buried in the stme grave, and the caravan moved on. Neither minister nor priest was the: e: the b a: d, with the name rudely carved thereon, has rotted away," and the drifting sands have long since obliterated what eke could have marked the spot. No wonder, then, children born amid such surroundirgs have grown up into Btrong, self-reliant and courageous men and women. Their hearts go cut in this Thanksgiving seison to their grandmothers of the East and South, with whom they claim kinship. Who among the children of the far West would not love to see one dear and venerable faco in the old homestead on Thanksgiving Day? AT THE OLD HOME. Like the patient moss to the rifted hill The iroo brown liouso Is cllneing; A last year's nest that is lone and still, I noush it erst was filled with singing. Then fleet ware the children's pattering feet. And their thrilling child hli laughter, And merry voices, wero sweet, oh I sweet. Singing from floor to rafter. The beautiful darllurs one by one, Krom the nest's safe shelter flying, SS "J h ln th6 sheen of the morning sun. Their flntterlnn pinions trying. But oft. as the reaping time Is o'er. And the hoar-fr ,st crisps the stubble. They haste to the little home once more From the groat world's toil und trouble. And the mother herself Is at the pane. With a hand tho dim eyes shading, And tbo flush of girlhood tints again The chock that is thin and fadlug. For her boys and girls are coining home, The mother's kiss their guerdon, A they came ere yet they had learned to roam. Or bowed to the task and burden, Over the door's worn sill they troop, The skle9 of youth above tbom, The blessing of God on the happy group, Whohavo mother loft to love them, They well may smile in tho faco of care. To nhom such grare is given; A mother's faltb, and u mother's prayer. Holding them close to heaven. For her, as she clasps her bearded sod, With a heart that Is brimming over, She's tenderly blending two ln one. Her boy, and her boyish lover. And bait of her seal is reft away, to twine the dead and (he living. In the little home wherein to-day, Her children keep Thanksgiving. There are tiny hands that pull her gown. And smalt beads bright un l golden; The childish laugh and the childish frown. And the dimpled fingers foldon. That bring again to the mother's breast The spell of the sunny weather. When she hushed her brood in the crowded nest, And all were glad together. A truce in the jarring notes of life. The cries of t ain and passion, Over this lull in tho eager strife, Love hovers, Eden -fashion. In tbe wee bronn house were lessons taught Of strong and sturdy living, And ever where hinest hands have wrought, God hears tbe true Thanksgiving. Home-Maker. With the Turkey.

Thanksginixg Is no longer a fast; it is a feast. The average American likes to express his gratitude from the fullness of his blessings. Baltimore American. The best sauce for the great feast is a consciousness that you have given some poor fellow or forlorn family special occasion to be thankful. New York World.

The little prize Turkey will carry out the principle beautifully if the big fellow is too weighty for our purse and some dear little "Tiny Tim" or some hone-tt, hard-werking "Bob Cratchit" will be sure to observe in repayal for all the much or little expense and trouble: "God bless us, every one!" That is true Thanksgiving. Boston Globe. An Arab's Ixves. An Arab, meaning a tent-dweller, in an equine sense, the town-dweller is no Arab loves first and above all his horse. No need to recite the oft-sung affection he will lavish upon him. Next he loves his firearm. This, poetically speaking, ought to be a six-foot, goldinlaid, muzzio-loading horror of a matchlock, which would kick any man but an Arab fiat on his back at every shot; but actually, in Algeria or Tunis, when he lives near a city, it is more apt to bo a modern English broochloader. You must fly from the busy haunts of men to find tho matchlock. Next to his gun ho loves his oldest son. Last comes his wife or one of his wives perhaps. Daughters don't count; I mean the. Arab does not take the trouble to count them, nnless in so far as they minister to his comfort, dietetic or otherwise Until some neighbor comes along and proposes to marry, in other words to make a still worse clave of tbem, she Is only a chattel a soulless thing. And yet she is said t i be a pretty, amiable, helpful being -said to be, for no one by any hap ever chances to cast his eyes on one worth seeing. This disregard for women, be it said to their honor, does not always apply to the Bedouins of the Syrian and Arabian deserts. What Is the Frontage of a Lot? A decision of tbe Ohio Supreme : Court has recently been filed in Cincin-1 nati which refers to the taxation of property based on frontage. The court held it was unfair to a man to tax him for an entire length of his lot on a side of the property which was unused, and decided that where such a state of affairs existed tho lot owner should only be taxed on a frontage averaging the frontage of the other lots of the same depth; 'or. in other words, he should pay on the improved street the i frontage on tne other street, wnion would require an increase of the assess ment an along tne improvement in order to compensate for the difference between the length and breadth of his lot. It is left, however, to the city to determine which is the front of tbe lot, as a man may be using tho length of his property as well as the width, or both.

ANY writerf have sought, t make the observ ance of Thanks giving Day an American insti tution, oiiginat ing' among the eariy settlers of New England. but historically this opinion cannot be sustained, for Iho idea wa formulate t manj ycar before ou, C o n t i n ent wat discovered. Many think it it simply a copy o; i ne oia l-ieDrev ordinance of thi Fea t of Tabor naelo-, or feat of ingathering at the end of tfce year.

In Bkllani the first anniversary 01 the deuveranct i of the city of Leyden from the siese. Oct. 3, 15i'5, was kept as a religious festival of thunksgiving and praise. The earliest account wo have of l regular Thanksgiving Dav in thi country locates tbe celebration at Mohegan, near the Kennebec River, Me., where on Aug. t), 16u7, old style it is stated in an old chronicle, Chanlain Seymour, a minister of the Church of England, delivered a sermon "on gyving God thank for happie meetynge and saffe ari-yval intJ tho eoun trie." The example hero set was fol lowed by the Plymouth brethren in thfl autumn of lfi21. when t.hnv hi d col lected their first harvest, which con sisted of twenty acres of corn and six , of barley, oats and peas, enough t i keep them supplied with food for the coming year. Governor Bradford ap pointed the day, and in order that the ! occasion shc.uUl be observed with good ! cheer sent hunters out to forage the j country to procure a plentiful supply of good things needful for a dinner. ! The men returned with water fowl, I wild turkey and vouison. The great ; Indian chief, Massasoit, and ninety of I ma warriors were invited to the least, 1 which lasted three days. "ine next J. nanKsgiving colouration of which we have any authentic record waB celebrated two years afterward, when, however, it was ob.erved not in autumn but In July, and the occasion was manifestly furnished by the timely arrival of a shin from Encland ladon with provisions, when the settler wore on the verge of starvation. Jjuring the same rear a dav of fnstino- and prayer in "tho midst of drought was ohanged to a day of thanksgiving by the coming of rain during the prayers. in lod uov, w ratnrop, of tno Massa chusetts Bay UJiony, recommended a day of thanksgiving on account of the favorable action toward tho colonies of the British Privy Council. During the revolution a dav of national thnnksrnv. ing was annually recommended to Con gress, and at the adoption ol tne uonstitution, 17h9, Washingloa was strong ly urged by Congress to appoint a day for thanksgiving. In 17i'5 a proclamation of thanksgiving was issued for the suppression of insurrection. President Madison in 1815 appointed a day for national thanksgiving. It is only within the last thirty years that Thanksgiving Day has assumed tho character of a fixed annual occur rence, its origin being traced to the proclamation of President Lincoln, dated July 15, 1863. The day chosen by President Lincoln on this oc casion for "national thanksgiving, praise, and prayer" was August Q of that year. In the twd following years the date of the observance was left to the discretion of the President, but anring tne past twenty-nve years the last Thursday in November has been set apart, lor tne nouna-v. Almost a Total Abstainer. King Humbert of Italy, like bis father, Victor Emmanuel, is a firm be liever in 'temperance. He tastes liquors and wines so seldom, in fact, that ne is almost a total abstainer. This wa3 il lustrated a few weeks ago when his Majesty visited a great vermouth dis tillery in Pallenzo. Whon the owner of the distillery offered the King a glass of his finest brand, so popular in the sonny land, he declined it, laughing, with the words: "I have been oailed to the head of a wine-producing nation par excellenco and ought to tet a good example in the consumption of our wines. Unfortunately and I almost fear the admission there is hardly a pcorer wine drinker than my sen in ail itaiy. On state occasions and at official dinners King Humbert is, of courte, obliged to dvink some wine when toast ing his guests or responding to their toasts. But he always takes as little of the wine as etiquette will permit. He merely touches tho glass ; P8 i ""r ?ow. and w ing with his family rarely eve with his hen din ing with his family rarely even tastea it. His son, it is said, cares almost as little for wino as his father and grandfather. ih., Camel Trains. For use in the barren regions of Australia, the camel is fust taking the place of bullocks. It is stated that there are already opened up and in regular work in Australia five lines of camel traffic, and that on these lines over 2,000 camels are in daily use. Camels aro found to be so useful that the number employed will bo increased as rapidly as possible. With the bullock teams only about ten miles a day can bo mode, but it is found that the camel will travel eighty-four miles in eighteen hours, carrying a load of 300 pounds. In the interior of Australia are 1,000,000 square miles of almost unknown desert, and it is on tho great inland plains that it is intended to utilize tho camel trains, as by their use the various oases of civilization may be i more directly connected than by the old bullock routes. On tho arid plains and among the mud Hats and brackish lakes the camel finds plenty of coarse grass and thorny shrubs on which to subsist. It is claimed that work can be found in Australia for 1,000,000 camels. A Baffled Solomon. Ttt'o cows recently went astray at Newport News, Xa. One belonged to a negro and the other to a white man named Shields. A cow answering the description of either of tho two animals was purchased by a farmor not long since. The bereaved men heard of the purchase and each cluimed the animal and presented proof equally convincing. The case came up before a Judge and the jury heard tho evidence, but as the witnesses for oach party described the same cow they were unable to give a decision. Thbn the Judge eaid ho would turn' the cow out on the green. If she went toward the negro's farm she should be his, if she went toward Shields' farm she should be hio. The cow was turned out, but she found the gras-i so satisfying that bho went neither way. Not Vet Out of the Woods.

fiell-Contnlned Eleetrlo Looontolives. The new plan for railroads brought forward in France Is the subject of much comment The system aims to combine the features of greatest value in electric and steam motors for railway lines - a system which, as claimed in the account given, can be adopted anywhere without chaDire of track or rolling stock. The electric current Is to drive the wheels but Is r.ot to be conveyed from stationary machines along the line, and is generated on ihe train, tho locomotive being slrunly a traveling electric pant A steam engine at the rear of tho locomotive works the ifeneratIng dynamo, this funiis-hing current to a small motor placed on each axle of the locomotive, and, also, when it Is desirable to extend the system further, to a motor on each axle of tho cars The absurdity of converting tbe steam into electricity before using tho power Is declared to be onlv apparent; and the double loss in thus using the energy of the fuel Is more than otfset by the gala in applying rotary power direct to the axles, avoiding slipping of the rails, and maKing unnecessary the connecting rods, cranks and wheels, whoso jar and fi i tion absoid a great part of the motive-force. The uew locomotive is said to irive exact regulation of power and an increase of speed per hour, fifty-six to sixty-two miles, without change of roadbed.

Diplomatist and Caterer' Tout. A frequenter oi oue of the leading clubs of t he capital, a member of t he diplomatic corps and a financier by natural instinct, augments his salary by acting us u medium between his fashionable friends and the tradespeople of his acquaintance. The diplomat has established himself in this business, which for several years has been profitable alike to himself, the caterers and the llorists. At tho beginning of each season he enters into a formal agreement- with several of the leading caterers and confectioners to use his social influence in obtaining for them the custom of the wealthy contingent of his acquaintance in whom ball-giving propensities aro likely to develop. On all orders recoived a heavy percentage is exacted. Washington. Choral Humor. We have all heard of the minister who. whon the anthem bad concluded, rose and commenced reading acts 20: "And after the uproar was ceased." This is a good story on the side of the pulpit. Now the choir is to have its repartee. We are favored with the following: ''The minister finished his discoui-sb aud sat down, and the choir rose and sang, 'It is time to awake from sleep.' :" Tho following is good: "No, doctor,'' said the musical critic, who had been discussing the development of the divine art in Australia, "we have no great composers in this country." "1 beg pardon, sir, but I believe wo have one great composer." "Tho name, ptoaso?" "Chloroform." Klndnesa, In the intercourse of social life, it is by little acts of watchful kindness recurring daily and hourly and opportunities of doing kindnesses if sought for are forever starting up it is by words, by tones, by gestures, by looks, that affection i won and preserved. He who neglects these trifles, yet boasts that, whenever a great sacrifice is called for, he shall bo ready to make it. will rarely lw loved. The likelihood is, he" will not make it: and if ho does, it will bo rather for his own 6ako than for his neighbor's. Sala. Zola' Advice. Amid the bountiful honors bestowed upon Zola in England in the last two weeks a deal of comment has been excited by his reply to a young woman who asked him point blank if he would recommend her to read Irs books. The novelist sent this reply: "Mademoiselle As long as a young lady is unmarried she is under the care of her parents. When she marries 6he will do well to consult her husband. My view is that you may read my books provided your parents or your husband give you leave.

Mon have entered into a desire of learning- and knowledge sometimes upon a natural curiosity- and Inquisitive appetite: sometimes to entertain their minds with variety nnd delight; sometimes for ornament and reputation; sometinies to enable thoin to obtain the victory of wit- and contradiction, and Komotimts for lucre and possession.: but seldom .sincerely to give a true account of l heir ffift or reason for tho benefit and use of man, as if they were sought in knowledge a couch whereupon to rest a searching und restless spirit or a terrace for a wandering nnd varlablo mind, to walk vip und down with a fair prowpect, or a tower of state for a proud mind to raise itself upon, or u fort on commanding ground for strife or contention, or a shop for Erofit nnd sale, and not a rich storoouse for the glory of the Creator, and tho relief of man's estate. Bacon. As the pleasures of the future will lie spiritual and pure, tho object of a good and wise man in this transitory state of existence, should be to fit himself for a better by controlling the unworthy propensities of his nature and improving all his better aspirations, to dolus duty first to (iod, t hen to his neighbor, to promote tiie happiness and welfare of those who are in any degree dependent upon him, or whom he has tho means of assisting, never wantonly to Injure the meanest thing that lives, to encourage, as far as he may have tho power, whatever is useful and tends to refine and exalt humanity, to stare his mind with euch knowledge as it is fitted to receive and he is able to attain: and so to employ tho talents committed to his care that when the account is required, lie may hopo to have his stewardship approved, Southey. Little Thlnirm It is not only a safe but a mot wise question for everyone to ask, do I feel t he importance of little things, in t heir bearing on habit, their influence in tho formation of character, their relation to all with whom we associate and their connection with the greater wants of life? Are wo careful to encourage and not to overlook or disregard even tho faintest inclinations or thoughts of good, whether in ourselves or othere? Little things, be it always remembered, are the elements of the great, and are often the decisive and turning points of life. He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also iu much. He that desplsoth small things, hhtill fall by little and little. barprU In a Cyclone I'll. Some years ago, in 1883-4, quite a number of persons dug "cyclone pits" near their houses. Luckily, they have had no occasion to use these. Near Loui-hurg, Jack Adams has one of these pits, and a few days ago, thinking a cyclone was approaching, ho tout his wife and children into the pit. A highland moccasin, a very poisonous enuke, had his home in the pit and bit one of the children. Prompt and liberal doses of w hiskv saved the child's life. Raleigh (X. C.) News. A Cinch. "What a very fortunata woman Mrs. Tipper is' Her husband never spares expense in gratifying her every wish." "Is he so very rich?" "No; but Mrs. Tipper is one of those enviable people who can have hysterics atwLi." Puck. - Al ter Dinner. "I'm In an awful fix. I proposed to that girl last night. " "Did she jilt you?" "There's the trouble. Twas after dinner and I can't remember whether she eaid yes or no." Life. "Points" in the stock market are probably so called because speculators generally get stuck on them. Something of during 1894.

A Sfatnu Hermit. A Waterville hermit gets well down to the limit of eubristence for he lives on mush and tro!.sscs almost exclusively. He cooks Iiis mush in a big kettle and hin method is the beau ideal of simplicity. Gradually layers of mush hurdon and t:ck to'the kettle's side.. Succeeding uccretions at last nearly fill ths cavity and then the hermit has a festal day of purification. He cants the kett'e'over the fire and 'burns her out." Then we're roady for more of the dietary mush. China Hermit Goddard also cooked all of his curious compounds in a kettle, but he kept it pasiitbiy clean. Tho China

hermit, however, v?ore no pants unless I on Mi'ietly dress occasions and therefore etauds the uniq-.-eand unapproachable even by the Waterville misanthrope of mush, molasses, and moody morti float ion.

Tho exiei neiits of t 'olonel Smoilon of tho Itimsian army, with falcons as carriers of dispatches have proved successful and the Russian army herea'ter will employ them in preference to the ordinary "homing"' birds.. Tho Colonel has found that " he falcon can carry 1,640 grams without diminishing its rate of speed, which is considerable greater than that of the pigeon. The falcons, he says, are less likely to fall prey to other birus. as they are bettor fighters than the pigeons. It is on record, according to tho officer, that a fuleon once Hew from the Canary Islands to tho estates of the Duke of Lni-ina. Spain. It soems highly probable that the falcon will become the servant of other European armies. New York Tribune. Tho Number 13 a Uood Omen. In Judaism, as shown by Dr. Goldfahn, the number thirteen is a symbol of good omen. For instance, the mercy of God is promised in thirteen expressions, thirteen young feteors were sacrificed on the first day Sukkoth, thirteen years is the age of i-eligious majority, Mainmonides wrote thirteen articles of belief. According to tho Mishpah, in tho sanctuary in Jerusalem there wore thirteen money boxes, thirteen horns of plenty, thirteen tables, thirteen prostrations. Friday, too, in Judaism is not un'uoky. On Friday man was created and blessed by God. Hence the Tulmud ca'ls Friday a day of blessing. Express Cars Guarded In Maine, A strange sight in these days of peace is that witnessed on the Pullman trains east or west from Waterville. When the train comes to a stop a man anpears from the baggage car with a Winchester repeatiug rifle in his hand and takes a tour of tho express car. He looks under, over and on top of it, to make sure there is no one seeking to make entrance to the American Express Company's valuable freight. This man with the rifle is not its only guard. There are two men in tho car with the most improved Smith & Wesson revolvers in a belt, which they are obliged to woar upon duty. --Lewiston Journal. The Handwriting: on the Wall. It would probably surprise tho American manufacturer to look through the London city directory and see the names enrolled there of American firms who are represented here. The Englishman is tne most conservative man on earth: however, they are gradually realizing t hat America is already king in much which she produces; and we believe, although of course they will not own it. that right down in tho bottom of their hearts they see the time is coming and not far distant when America, from a commercial stand ooint. will be the allsupreme lower on earth.
