A
BUYING EXPERIENCE.
The gentleman who goes to law
To right a fancied wrong,
Discovers that the remedy
Is pretty middling strong,
And that he can not get it free
Or buy it for a song.
He calls to mind a lawyer friend
And drops into his place,
And lays before the legal light
The merits of his case.
Who tells him that it surely looks
A winner on its face.
I
He says it seems as plain as day,
As far as he can see,
And that the jury and the judge,
Oath bound, must so agree,
And then he slyly hints about
A small retainer fee.
That only gives the thing a start,
For as the case gets hot
It gobbles up his bank account
And all that he has got,
And then he finds, alas, that he
Must mortgage house and lot.
The gentleman who goes to law
For satisfaction looks,
But soon discovers there are kinks
Not written in the books,
And that in place of sweet revenge
He only gets the hooks.
—Nashville American.

PARADOX OF THE PRESIDENCY.
As the moth flutters widly around
the burning candle, and is finally con
sumed in the blaze that hypnotizes it,
so have we seen some of our greatest
statesmen drawn by a more than hyp
notic attraction, like a furious mania,
toward the White House, only to die
at last untouched and disappointed,
burned up, as it were, by vaulting am
bition impossible of realization.
So Webster, Scott, Seward, Chase,
Clay, Morton, Greeley, and Blaine pur
sued the ignis fatuus to the end! Oth
ers had the great prize forced upon
them, accepted it reluctantly and with
regret, as did Grant, Hayes, Garfield,
McKinley, and Roosevelt. It is history
that McKinley put it aside in 1888 and
would not have it at all. The sugges
tion was not only painful but repul-,
sive and even offensive. Slo with
Garfield in 1880. He did not want it.
It was forced on him. Garfield had to
be fairly drafted, conscripted, in 1880,
and was deeply hurt over it. His re
luctance and regret he expressed free
ly to all of us. He was Senator-elect,
the climax of his ambition, and he
would a thousand times have prefer
red to see John Sherman nominated,
though Sherman never saw it that
way. In the last conversation I had
with Sherman, in his own house in
1899, after he had left the McKinley
cabinet in a passion, he spoke to me
very bitterly not only of McKinley’s
treatment of him, but of what he call
ed to the last “Garfield’s betrayal” of
him in 1880.
He was mistaken. Garfield was deep
ly disappointed and melancholy over
the result and tried to induce the con
vention to nominate some other man,
first of all Sherman, for Garfield was
true as steel, loyal, honest, and sin
cere to a fault.
As a member of the Ohio legisla
ture, I met Hayes every day of the
electoral contest as it dragged for
months through the dreary winter of
1876-77, and I know how anxious we
all were that he abide the result, and
fight if need be for the office, if the
commission should award it to him.
At times he was on the point of throw
ing up the sponge, handing it all over
to Tilden, and so ending the disputed
election. In the first place we had
forced the nomination on him —which
he accepted reluctantly, but never

sought; and now we young men saw
a prospect, a danger, that he would
render all our efforts nugatory by sur
rendering to Tilden, who had a big
majority of the popular vote and an
apparent majority in the electoral col
lege on the face of the returns. Those
were critical days in February, 1877,
when the contest still raged in Con
gress and before the electoral com
mission, and the country was on the
verge of a civil war. Grant alone
saved us from all that. His mighty
name, power, and prestige alone sav
ed us from civil war and made the
inauguration of Hayes at all possible.
McKinley was still a young man—
as ages of statesmen go—as a leader
of the House in 1888 and did not de
sire, and squarely refused, the Presi
dency, easily within his reach. Sher
man, the general, could have had the
prize offered him in 1876 and again
in 1888, and urged on him. But he put
it aside with such emphasis as left
no doubt that he would refuse a nom
ination even if unanimous.
So you see there have been several
great men of our day who had no de
sire for the place at all, were not at
tracted by its glitter or glory, and
others who sought it madly and never
reached it at all, like Bryan. Whence
it seems settled that he who seeks
shall not find it, but some who seek
it not will have it thrust upon them!
Why it is so, I don’t know, but I know
it is so. —Private Dalzell, in the Pitts
burg Gazette-Times.
THANKSGIVINGS.
When you were eating your Thanks
giving turkey and sweet potato cus
tards last week, did you recall the
first thanksgiving dinner ever given in
this country by white settlers? The
Indians always had their thanksgiving
feasts and their “green-corn dances”
in token of gratitude to the Great Spir
it, but the first thanksgiving dinner of
white Americans, of which there is
any record, took place as far back as
1621, a year after the Pilgrims landed
from the Mayflower vessel on the
shores of Massachusetts. This, little
colony would have starved had not
Massasoit, the noble chief of the
Wampanoag Indians, induced his peo
ple to share their corn crop with the
hungry settlers, and to show them
how to plant and cultivate corn, which
they had never seen before. But in
May, 1621, here came another vessel
from England with thirty-five emi
grants and no provisions. The har
vest, however, was good, and when the
corn was gathered, Governor Bradford
sent some of his best marksmen out
into the forest to hunt game. The In
dians showed them the best hunting
grounds and they brought back veni
son and wild turkeys for a fine feast.
There is no further record of a
thanksgiving feast until ten years later
in the larger colony from England that
had landed on the site where Boston
is now, and which numbered a thou
sand persons in all. Food became very
scarce. To be sure, there was plenty
of fish in the bay and clams in the
creeks, but in spite of the Indians’
liberality with their corn, bread was
soon something that money could not
buy. A hundred of the thousand set
tlers died the first year, and Governor
Winthrop drew on his home resources
for every penny that he dared and
