self from tiny ferns grasses and ever lasting flowers in a tasteful bunch by a very narrow ribbon to upper lefthand corner of a white card on which was neatly written the name of the person for whom it was designed and the date of dinner Hut on the vails she had allowed herself full liberty A bor der of leaves and ftrns cohered the border of the papering The of the large oldfashioned looking- glass was entirely hidden by a dress ing of grasses wheat oats and cat tails To make this firm she had taken drips of strong unbleached muslin just Jong and wide enough to cover the and be tacked down firmly at the back of the glass On this foundation she had fastened tapes at across the width stitching them down strongly to form spaces into which she could thrust the stems of the grasses etc This muslin foundation being firmly fasten ed place she arranged her glasses at her leisure Large vases of leaves etc adorned the brackets and mantle and brightened up the low dark rooni- dinner was as a

fell on the lit tle assemblage far unrealistic as picture was it brought homo to tho merrymakers fact that even on Thanksgiving night many a poor and weary one was wandering homeless through the street of the great cities Thanksgiving was next charade acted in three scenes Thanks in which n lively conversation was kept Up between two or three of the party one to tell a story and a sec ond

thelboys read with great expression that beautiful poem by Burns yiie Cotters Saturday night illustrated a fine tableau in which old Sir and Beverley were the principal figures As all were from the

an end a very evening Not Yet Oat of the Wood First Turkey youthful bird thank goodness weve escaped be Second of mature experi ence rYes bat I of Christmas v Guest Mrs Murray was in mourning for her only son who had West and lost his life fighting Indians bad been so fond of bun and so delighted when first saw him his uniform and now that he was gone her life seemed desolate though the bid her grief from world had two daughters left to com- fort her two flighty littlo maids known as Misty and Molly but they were affectionate sod sweettempered they did not fill tbe place of the son who slept in an on- known grave November as it went by brought np the subject of and the thought of the the year be fore when the had been graced with tbo presence of that eon Miss Mint said to her mother one day timidly I suppose wo wont have any Thanksgiving this year raotherl No Thanksgiving child Have WO not enough to bo thankful fort What do you mean was tbe aston ished reply No pies I mean no Thanksgiv ing dinner I thought perhsps we would not keep the day just as usual this year said Miss Pumpkin cranberry tarts apple grape mince leioon custard and chicken pie I ordered to get ready for and wo will go into the kitchen and make them tomorrow girls Is it any reason why we should to bo thankful because tbo hand of tho Lord has been laid upon and pies see rued connected in Mrs Slurraya mind Mies Minty gave a and Miss Molly disappeared through an open door of the girls were looking at Mrs Murray so no one saw the quivering of her thin lips and moisture in her clear blue eyes When Thanksgiving day rolled around thero was great baking and brewing in the Murray kitchen and the mUtreB of the house laid herself out to prepare a feast the rawbooed cook kept running about with mysterious bundles in her bands and from the regions of the kitchen came odors tempting and Thanksgiving Day morning found Mrs Murray Bitting in her pew at church listening to the fcatday sermon Think you minister touched tender chords of be human and made them vibrato to a song of Think you he cast an eye backward along lifes journey dwelling on suiifibino and flowers the little children and the singing birds the loving and household the blessings and consolations which every candid man must own have lightened his lot and cheered his pathway no A fiercfi bold promulgation of his individual of our sea of troubles was the Sum and substance of pastors Where he bis text wc cannot say doubtless he forced bit of Scripture to pre face a speech which was anything a Gospel to sinful man not been at church not she had been thankful in midst of the blending of turkey boiled and roasted crisping pig of tbe pattern and broiling of a tender brown an atmosphere more suited to her taste than flitting for two mortal hours penned up in a meeting house We use her Own words- It was not strange since so power- fula magician had been at work that Miss and Mies Molly had barely time to the alpaca for the bombasine the latter being sacredly allied to crape veil and devoted to outdoor use when dinner was announced Mrs Murrays two married sons had been invited as usual to dine with mother and as usual their included in tho in vitation was stout Tom Murray with his pretty silly wife There was grave Robert Murray with bis merry talkative partner All were subdued to uncommon tact- by this sad family meeting These same were by no means gloomy at homo and around own table in spite of thateflKc- but being together a sort of solemnity was pitched by common consmt as proper de meanor for the occasion Murray took place at the head of the table Robert the oldest son assumed the foot while the two wires were ranged opposite their sistersinlaw Visavis to Thomas Murray was a vacant chair placed there by MebUablea orders perhaps to catke all balance or possibly as a him who had once teen the life of these family gathering Mrs Murray folded her bands to ask She had borne up bravely thus far She had been true to her theories had crucified her own feelings She had checked all expression Boo had made pies and of a sore and wounded heart her lips quivered and her voice trem bled She could not trust herself in the long grace generally deemed fit for festal days- She only substitute God help us and make us thank foil those her own hands cover ing two eyes I No I Those hands withdrawn and two strong arm were round her nock and a brown cheek was pressed close to Mother Dear mother I you really believe I I And tried to bear op bravely I voice tremble I did not know loved me wo I I love like my own God praised I You are exclaimed the mother The barriers were broken down the were opened moth- hid thrown off mask true woman would speak now and evermore Ah was a Day indeed I Iq that merry party none were more than the soldier Ae for and Molly they were almost wild with joy Tbey hardly keep still a mo ment as they danced about room like antiquated fairies So Mrs Murray was she had feast and that she had given thanks In spite of her bereave ment now that her son bad re turned As for said Well the smell of dinner inviting enough to bring an Egyptian mammy back to life let alone a young

around Aurora 825 dog last Week Win at BelloviUe was with a loss of 16yearold boy real life went into meditative musing on Thanksgiving rooming Opulence had shunned him and indigence had stack closer than a brother He well acquainted with the dubious business of getting along was this boy in real life morning be sat down to draw comparisons between the thanksgivings of fact and the thanksgivings of fiction was familiar with both I am disgusted at myself for hav ing been bora into real life when I might just as well havo been a boy a story a Thanksgiving story That boy can bear any amount of hardship all through the year be knows on Thanksgiving a rich uncle a doling old grandfather or some- such comfortable of a chap whom be has never before heard of will turn up and assist upon loading tho boy with benefits Now the poor boys in real life and of that sort it just the other way The tough- eat days tbey havo are the feast days and holidays shouldnt even mind being an old man in a story an old man up to the ears in debt with the sheriffs hammer hanging over his bead Because I woufi know as wall as I breathed my long absent son reported dead twenty year ago up unexpect edly time before midnight on Thanksgiving and pay off the mort gage on the farm and make the old lady and mo comfortable for the rest of out days with foreign pipes furs fruits and easy chairathrownio Yea indeed the old man of fiction if he totters and squeaks than the boy of fact He arose with a sigh and saun tered down toward the river aim as people in novels walk around sometimes So far away in were his thoughts that he did not where ho was he was aroused from his by the sound of angry voices A man and woman were quarreling in a hallway Mechanically the looked and listened He was oat of and into real life in its most disagreeable aspect Hard words flew back and forth be tween the two disputants Suddenly shot out the woman fell with blood flowing breast and the man sprang past the boy and down the street Ine boy followed Real life has its sudden tarns as well as romance he thought as be ran keeping tbe shaggy head of the murderer well in sight Panting be grabbed a policeman who was posing corner looking in op posite the excitement and pointed oat the bushy bead of the man who bad fired the shot murderer was taken into custody and within an hour was behind bars The boy was taken charge of by state as its witness and as it was Thanksgiv ing the state sat him down to M fine a dinner as need want The next mornings papers came out with a column or more about tbe shooting in which the boy was men tioned in terms of unqualified praise the reporters always Bay He was a boy in a Thanksgiving story at Jast in one sufficiently sensational to make the envy of all other boys And as in stories the incident changed the whole tenor of bis life Unhappily aa somebody must get worsted even in a realistic Thanksgiving story the woman who was shot died and the boys evidence convicted her murderer The officials concerned took an inter est in praised him a sharp fellow which so developed his self confidence be made up fats mind he could do as great things as any boy that ever figured in a Story He became a detective and although yoa will doubt it they say be was a good one I will admit that it is not the loftiest calling in the world bat the boy in real lie grew very food of particularly so because it put him into many stories To he insists that the people in stories are much happier than who never get Into them and I believe it boy Is a rich man now and sits down to a Tbanksglrioa feast fit for a king He traces lack and his straight back to the boor when he got Into a thanksgiving story School Reports foe No aEtuUwlUUn- bar finUta I I 1 Smith E J Fart It a 1 By
