BABY AT EL CANEY.
A. Story of the White Horse Ridden by the Spanish General.
One ot tb many tragic Incidents of tlie
Iwriflc fighting around El Cancy was the
deth of General Vcra del Rey , who , at the
head of barely 1,500 men , had defended ,
first , the outposts , then the village , and
finally , tbo series of blockhouses be-twoen El
C n y and Santiago with great bravery and
wonderful pertinacity.
When at last the enemy surrendered It
wa/i / found that of 1,600 who had resisted the
flrit Mult only 200 survived and were fit
for aeHon. One of the dead wai Qcncral
Vera del Rey. HI * body was discovered a
few hundred yards distant from the plactx
where most of the casualties had occurred ,
tt having been hastily removed thither by a
f w of the dead hero' * faithful soldier * .
During most of the fighting around El
Canoy General del Rey bad ridden a nmalr
white horse which had made htm a good
target let the Americans. From the back
of thlk born ho was finally picked off by a.
efearpfrhooter.
A her time After the close of hostilities
la Santiago province a surgeon of tbo
88T nty-flrst New York , Dr. H. Eugene
Stafford , was fortunate enough to receive
this same little whMo tiorno In trade with a
8pnlto itoldler. The animal wan at onoe
Tw Into camp , where he waa given the name
of "Baby , " and teen became the friend
and pet of all the poor fellows who were
lying about sick and suffering. Out In the
w teen the horce seemed to recognize his
nvwrter and < o him his devotion grew by de-
frrxt until It became almost human. 'Day
and night the horse kept his eyes on the
uiKton and wherever the latter hung his
hammock , In the hope of getting a llttlo rest
and sleep , there "Baby" would be also , lie
follow * * the surgeon around aa a child
would bl father.
When thin friendship wa * flrst formed the
surgeon bad given up hi * tent to some ot
4h beys who had been stricken with fever
or tMled with Spanish bullets , and he took
MR rat on the grass with his white lentl-
el always iiear him. When , finally , ho
waa given another tent "Baby" was very
muoh concerned and nearly demolished the
tent ( a trying to force an entrance.
The horse seemed to try to show In all
hlo actions how sorry 'ho ' was to have begun
fall army career on the wrong side of tno
trtng line , yet , though he bore many ugly
woundi ' from .American bullets , ho bore our
boys'no malic * . As the wounded and sick
troopers grew worse and the surgeon him
self became too weak to mount "Baby , "
th * surgeon and the llttlo white horse
made the rounds of tbo camps together ,
"Baby" walking very carefully with th
union's arm over his neck , the surgeon
carrying what chew he could to the boya
In the hMpltali and almost beside himself
t the thought that his medicine chest was
neatly empty. Owing to the Intense boat
< ho only covering the surgeon could bear
was a very thin gauze undershirt ot a yel
lowish color , but even so the sight of the
yellow shirt and "Baby" coming up the
bill put new life Into the suffering soldier
toy .
A few leiioni In going to the river for
water were enough for "Baby" to know
viat was wanted , and when the weakened
*
Ken were unable to make the trip on ac-
couut of the heat they would tlb Improvised
water carriers to "Baby's" back' and off he
- .would go to the river , get a drink for him-
, , clf and ask , In hie own way , ot course ,
come one to Oil his bags for him ; that done
the horse would go galloping' back to camp ,
carrying Ufa to some of those burning fever
patients. '
There was also a humorous side to
"Baby's" nature. It Is well known that tea
a pack ot mules a white horao Is a great
attraction. When the boys of the Seventy-
first were In great need of extra mules
"Baby" would disappear for a time and
presently come back to camp followed by
one , two or three mules , which were put
into Immediate use and kept at work until
their rightful owner rame forward and
claimed property. These flirtations between
"Baby" and the tuulos were carried on
visited some of the Seventy-first's boys who
are under treatment. One poor fellow ,
lying crippled from wounds received In bat
tle , exclaimed : "I'm glad to see you , Doc ,
but oh ! If only I could see 'Baby * and the
yellow ehlrt coming up the hill , I should
feel better. " "Let us step to the window
and see'what Is there , " said Surgeon Staf
ford , adding , "Maybe we shall see 'Baby. ' "
The poor fellow was Incredulous , but ,
helped by the surgeon , he limped to tbo
window. There , sure enough , was "Baby , "
whiter and slicker than ever. The sol
dier could hardly believe his eyes , but when
assured that the llttlo horse be saw hitched
to the fence was Indeed "Baby , " the pet
of the Seventy-first , he burst Into tears.
Ho was tenderly cared for now , but hla

Thanksgiving dar tirlngs a variety of
emotions to the average American.
Originally transplanted In this country as a
day o ( prayerful thanks for the favors of
Providence , It has broadened frith the
country , and is now observed more as a day
of feasting and recreation than as a church

An AmuilitK and Imttractlre Paitlme
for noy ,
The Increasing usefulness of kites has led
scientific men throughout the world to ex
periment and make a special study of kite
flying with a view 'to ' evolving more perfect
models for military , scientific and other
purposes. At the kite farms throughout the
United States some remarkably successful
results are being obtained with new kites
of odd designs , very light of weight , but
powerful In operation. '
The materials used and the method of
I construction are now so simplified that with

with great success on several occasions.
The sympathy and help of "Baby" kept
* he surgeon from giving In to the fever , but
one day when his temperature was about
10 $ , and he bad done all he could for the
poor wretches about him , ho seemed to lose
hi * senses and wandered off , no ono knew
where. A search was made and "Baby"
was the most excited ot all who had part
In it. The horse found a trail almost at
onca and followed It ai would a dog. after
a time coming upon his master In a thicket ,
whore In his delirium be had fallen. The
faithful animal rubbed his nose against the
surgeon's face and gave him tbo breath ot
air which 'brought ' him out of his stupor.
Hoon the urgeon' § returning strength en
abled him to put hla arm around the neck
of the horse and to bane on until gently
but turely he was dragged back within
Ight of the camp.
"Baby" afterward proved to be as good
a traveler a ho waa a soldier , for he made
the trip to New York without Injury to him
self or annoyance to any one aboard ship.
When Surgeon Stafford arrived In New York
he wus III , and during the following three
weeks he was confined to his room. 'Baby"
< wai left In charge of a coal black negro ,
"Lace" Galllmore by name , who had gone
.rough the Cuban campaign as an em-
E eye of the .medical department of the
Seventy-first regiment. The llttla horse
was fond of his black groom , but ho did
not forget hU matter. When , finally , he
was taken to bli master's house scene

by those who witnessed It. At sight of his
master , who stood In the doorway , this poor
dumb bent broke away from his keeper
obd actually tried to mount the steps ; he
would have done It , too , bad not GalIImore ,
with considerable difficulty , restrained him
until the surgeon came down to the gate

A few days ago Surgeon Stafford ro'In
"Baby" to St. Luke's hospital , where be

the work as a pastime , construct scientific
kites and experiment with models made i
after their own Ideas. If properly made ,

strips ot wood for the framework. In No.

strips , four two-foot strips and eight one-
foot pieces in the frame. These pieces may
be fastened together for the kite frame by
the use of pieces ot tin cut out as
outlined In No. 4. Where three ends are
to DC fastened together bend the tin , as
ihown In No. 5 , so that the points ( a ) clasp
around each of the strips firmly. Where
four ends are to be fastened together cut
out a similar tin with four ends and bend
around the frame , as shown In No. C. This
principle IB employed In the scientific kite *
of tdday , so that they may bo taken apart
and folded together , or broken parts re
newed. Waxed Killing twine Is also bound
around the completed Joints to strengthen

The annual observance of Thanksgiving
aa a national holiday began with , the
proclamation of President Lincoln , Issued in
1863. While there bad been Thanksgiving
days before , they had occurred at irregular
.
Intervals and were held in recognition ot
some unusual event In the natlon'a life. The
observance of the day , as annually ordained
by congress , began and ended with the war
of the revolution. The flrst recommendation
for the observance of such a day came front
'the continental congress on December 11 ,
1776. That was for a day of solemn fasting
and humiliation and for supplication for
dlvlno aid In the prosecution of the war.
Bach state was left to fl.x the date. It was
in the fall of 1777 that a recommendation
was made which < was for a more genuine
thanksgiving. It was after the surrender of
Burgoyne. Congress then appointed a com
mittee , consisting of Samuel Adams , Richard
Henry Lee and General Daniel Roberdcau , to
prepare "a recommendation to the eeveral
states , to set apart a day for thanksgiving for
the signal success lately obtained over the
enemies of these United States. "
Addrcm of the Continental Congr-ei * .
They prepared the following address , which
was reported to congress on November 1 ,
and at once agreed upon :
"Forasmuch a.i It is the Indispensable duty
of an men to adore the superintending provi
dence of Almighty God ; to acknowledge
with gratitude their obligations to Him for
ben efi te received and to Implore such further
blcscrings as they stand In need of ; and It
having pleased Him In His abundant mercy
not only to continue to us the innumerable
bounties ot His common providence , but also
to emllo upon us In the prosecution of a
Just and necessary war for the defense and *
:
establishment of our Inalienable rights and
liberties ; particularly In that He bath been
pleased , in so great a measure , to prosper
the means used for the support of our troops ,
and to crown our arms with most signal
success. It Is , therefore , recommended to
the legislature or executive powers of these
United , States to set apart Thursday , the
18th day ot December next , for a solemn
thanksgiving and praise ; that , with one
heart and one voice , the good people may
express the grateful feoHugs of their hearts
and consecrate themselves to the service of
their Divine Benefactor ; and that together
with their sincere acknowledgments and of
ferings , they may join the penitent con
fession of their manifold sins , whereby they
had forfeited every favor , and their humble
and earnest eupplicAtlons that It may please
God , through the merits of Jesua Christ ,
mercifully to forgive and blot them out of
remembrance ; that It may please Him
graciously to afford His bresslngs on the
governments of < theee states , respectively ,
and prosper tbo public council of the whole ;
to Insplro our commanders , both by land
and eea , and all under them , with that wls-
dom and fortitude which may render them
. fit Instruments under the providence of Almighty -
| mighty God to secure for these United States
the greatest ot all human blessings , Inde-
pondcnce and peace ; that it may please Him
to prosper the trade and manufactures of the
people and the labor of the nuabandman ,
that our land may yet yield its Increase ; to
take schools and seminaries ot education ,
so necessary for cultivating the principles
of true liberty , virtue and piety , under Hla
ministering hand , and to prosper the means
of religion for the promotion and enlarge
ment ot that kingdom which conelateth "In
righteousness , peace and Joy in the holy
ghost , " and be It further recommended that
servile faber and such recreation as , though
at other times Innocent , may be unbecoming
the purpose of this appointment , may bo
omitted on so solemn an occasion. "
Thank * ( or Revolutionary Favor * .
One year later , on November 7 , 1778 , con
gress took up the subject again and this
time each state was recommended to ap
point < he lame day Wednesday , December
30 as tbo day of thanksgiving. It was ,
however , In 1781 that thanksgiving rec
ommendation flrst took the form and name
of a proclamation. On September 13 of
that year Roger Sherman moved that
Thursday , December 13 , be selected as a
day of thanksgiving. The proclamation ,
which the resolution provided for , wac
drafted and adopted on October 16. By I
the proclatnatlou of 1782 the day was !
changed to November 2S , and tlio last
Thanksgiving proclamation of the revolu
tion was reported to congress on October
18 , 17S3. as follows :
"Whereas , It hath pleased the Supreme
Ruler of all human events to dispose ot
the belligerent lowers to put a period to
the effusion of humnn blood by proclaim
ing a cessation of nil hostilities by sea and
land ; and these United States are not only
hopplly rescued from the danger nnd ca-
lamltks to which they had boon exposed so
"
long , but their freedom , sovereignty and In
dependence ultimately acknowledged ; and
"Whereas , In the progress of a contest
on which the most essential rights of hu
man nature depended , the Interposition of
Dlvlno Providence In our favor hath been
i most abundantly and most graciously mani
fested , and to nil citizens Is 'the cause tor
praise and gratitude to the God of their
salvation. "
According to this proclamation congress
recommended that the second Thursday of
December be observed by all the people ot
the United States.

Litter ProcInmntlonH.
The proclamation of General Washington
appointing Thursday , November 26 , 1789 , as
a day of thanksgiving was the flrst national
thanksgiving day after the government of
the United States was fairly established.
The second recommendation by the president
of the United States was for February 10 ,
1793. Under John Adams May 9 , 1798 , and
April 25 , 1799 , were observed as fast days ,
but not as days of thanksgiving. It was not
until 1813 that another national thanksgiv
ing day was appointed by President Madison.
The day fixed was April 13 , 1815. There U
no record of other days so observed
nationally for the next quarter of a century.
Since 1817 , however , New York state had
observed the day and ono by one the other
states came to follow a similar course.
President Lincoln appointed a thanksgiv
ing for August 6 , 1863 , because ot the
victory at Gettysburg. On November 20 of
the same year another thanksgiving was
observed and this was really the harvest
festival throughout the country. In like
manner was November 24 observed in 1SGI.
Owing to the assassination of Lincoln June
1 , 18C5 , was observed as a fast day. From
that year on Thanksgiving day has become
a regularly observed one by the nation.
During the century which had passed since
the revolution the harvest feature of the day
had become dominant. Since Lincoln's death
I it has been customary for the president to
I Issue a proclamation annually , appointing
- a national thanksgiving day , the last Thurs-
day of November , and the states have Issued
their own proclamations naming the eamo
day.
