The day before Thanksgiving, and Mary Tolliver was sick. Poor Mary! How she had looked forward to the annual festival! For weeks she had count ed the days. Grandpa and all the rest had been invited for that day. And now «he was sick. She had tried to think she was well when her head ached the night before. But in the morning the little face was flushed with fever, and there was a family consultation. Then the doctor was called in. "Just a little ague,"' the doctor said. Mary knew what ague was; she had had it before, but never at Thanksgiv ing time. "Can you get me well for to-morrow?" •he asked. "I'm afraid not," the doctor answered, •with a kindly smile. "You must be quiet for a few days, and maybe you can have your Thanksgiving next week." So word was sent to the relatives not to come next day, as there would be no Thanksgiving dinner at the Tolliver "JUST TO THINK HE DID THIS FOR ME!" house. Two days after Thanksgiving the fever was all gone, and Mary was very qniet. "What is my little girl thinking of?" Mother Tolliver asked. "I was wondering if we could have a Thanksgiving day next week, as Dr. Brown said," Mary answered. "Oh, no! Mary," she was told; "not till next year. You know the governormakes what he calls a 'proclamation,' and tells ■us when to have Thanksgiving." But Mary was not satisfied. She thought all d >*/, and made her plans. Monday morning she asked if she Blight write a letter. "Just my very own," she said. Mother Tolliver gave leave very will ingly. "But It must be short," the added. It was a short letter vhich Mary handed to her mother two hours later. This is what she said: "Dear Governor: Please can have an other Thanksgiving Day, and have It next Thursday? 1 was sick, and so Grandpa and the others didn't come, and I could not eat any Turkey. I ain't very big, but 1 like Turkey. Please let us have it. "Your friend, "MARY TOLLIVER." "Y'on't you send it, mamma?" she pleaded. Mother Tolliver thought It would not hurt to send It, so the letter went that eight. At the capitol the governor was very busy. It was near the end of his term, ht Lad a great deal to do But he read Mary Tolllver's letter twice, and then called a messenger. "Billie," he said, "go down town and buy the biggest turkey you can get, and express it, with a lot of cranberries and celery, and all sorts of Thanksgiving goodies, to this address." Then he called his clerk, and sent Mary a letter. Wednesday morning Mother Tolli ver handed her the big envelope. This is what she spelled out: "Having been Informed that Mary Tol liver was ill on the 2Sth of November, and was thus prevented from Joining in the festivities incident to Thanksgiving Day, I therefore recommend that at a con venient hour on Thursday, December 5, Mr. and Mrs. Tolliver, together with their family and such young friends as Mary may choose to Invite, assemble In the din ing-room, and there with hearts full of thankfulness for country, for home, and for the blessed influence of children, par take of such bounties as are usually served in Christian America on the day ap pointed for National Thanksgiving, and that especial attention be given that Mary shall be bountifully supplied with such portions of the national bird, and with such other delicacies, as are most congenial to her." "Just see his name at the bottom, mamma—the governor's name!" shouted Mary. "And the letter is all ribbons anc red wax on the back. Just to think he did this for me!" "Yes, he did It for you, Mary, and you shall have your own Thanksgiving Day. But what will you be thankful for, a week after the time?" "Oh! I'll be thankful I'm so well again. Will that do? And can't I just as well be thankful this week as last?" And Mother Tolliver thoughtshecould. —S. S. Times. THE FAMILY REUNION. No Other I»ny in All the Year Sarvei the I'urpuite of Thaukn tfclrlnjf Dar. Thanksgiving day serves a purpose supplied by no other day in the year, says a writer in Christian Work. It brings the members of the old home together snce more; it brings up the old times and recalls to mind the dear ones, some giving thanxs In far-away homes of their own, some of them, alas! not to unite with us at the Thanksgiving board as in former years. But none the less hearty and all the more tender will be the thanksgiv ing offered, with gratitude for what she was—so sweet., so loving, so exalted her pure life; and there are other blessed ones of earlier years. At this time, then, of family gather ings and family rejoicing, let devout thankfulness lodge in -the heart and find expression from the lips, as we recall the blessings of the family rela tion—the love, the joy, the hope, the blessed memories it nurtures; for these it Is which make a paradise on earth and open up a vision of that endless Thanksgiving in the Paradise of God.

Tlilrty.oiio Hon Killed and 15 Other* Injured on llie Ittig four ICoud - One Holler Kxploilea—Wreck use filed UO feet High on the Track*. Peoria, 111., Nov. 20.—Thirty-one I men were killed and at least 15 in ! jure<l in a head-end collision between | u freight train and a work train on j the Big Four railroad between Mack- I inaw and Tremont Thursday after- I noon. Itodies of 26 of the victims ! nave been taken from the wreck, ' which is piled 30 feet high on the | i "»eks. Five bodies yet remain buried I uni. yhe huge pile of broken tim j ber, t». sted and distorted iron and I steel. All the dead and most of the in ! jured were members of the work j train, the crews on both engines jumping in time to save their lives. The collision occurred in a deep cut, at the beginning of a sharp curve, neither train being visible to the i crew of the other until they were j within 50 feet of each The ; engineers set the brakes, sounded | the whistles and then leaped from | their cabs, the two trains striking with such force that the sound was ! heard for miles. A second after the collision the ; boiler of the work train engine ex ploded, throwing heavy iron bars and splinters of wood 200 feet, j Conductor John W. Judge, of Jn i dianapolis, who had charge of the freight train, received orders at I'r hana to wait at Mackinaw for the work train, which was due there at ! 2:40 p. m. Instead of doing this he failed to stop. The engineer of the work train. George Meeker, had also 1 received orders to pass the freight at .Mackinaw and was on the way to I that station. The work train was i perhaps live minutes late and was running at full speed. The collision was witnessed by Russell Noonan, a farmer's hoy, 14 years of age. who hastened to a nearby house and tele phoned to Tremont. A special train with four physicians was made up in a few minutes and in less than half an hour was on the scene. At the same time another train arrived from I'ekin bearing Su perintendent Harnard, of the l'ig Four, and three physicians. The sec ond train bore a lot of rugs and these were utilized to carry out the man gled corpses of the victims. After working two hours the re mains of 26 men were taken out. One of the last bodies recovered was that of William I'ailey, of Mack inaw, who had been lifted ISO feet in to the ah and held in place by two steel rails which had been pushed up between the engine and the tender of the work train. The workmen had been engaged in laying steel rails at different points along the track and three of the freight cars were heavily loaded. The dead are residents of neighbor ing towns and the scenes about the wreck hist evening were beyond de scription. Wives and children of men who were missing thronged around, asking if their husbands or fathers had been killed. Out of :i5 men who constituted the crew of the work train only four are living and two of these are seriously injured. HIS HEAD CRUSHED IN. A Telegraph Oprrutor I* Murdered ut Ills Post of Hut;.
