C^rp3HE fact was we had never
spent "a Thanksgiv[/V-sv'
ing" in the country.
Ifv'v-a-'Jl And in town Ihe Pilgrims'
holy day has de '
generated into an 'Arry
J y 1 and 'Arriet "blowout."
I It was decided in
amily council to hie us in a body to a
ountry box among the hills, where
re had enjoyed tour laymc summers,
tnd there keep the hoary old festa as
fankee pre-Baphaelite aqharelles tell
is it should be observed.
Snow fell two days bofore the im>ortant
Thursday. All the better! It
^ould have been all the best had the
torm held oft' until we were actually
loused and could read "Snow-Bound"
iver blazing logs answeriug roar for
oar, the "grand old harper" smiting
ind twanging the oaks and hickories
>f the grove.
We teok the 9 o'clock train from the
Sty. It was crowded, mainly with
me sort and condition of men. Each
>f them was presumably going to the
?ld homestead?gray, yellow or white,
jacked by the invariable red barn?
'for Thanksgiving." Some chewed
>range peel to tone down their breaths
o thedecorous prejudices of the old
oiks at home, others inhaled bad
ligars in the "smoker," and brought
he evil incense into our car. At least
wo-thirds munched peanuts and
trewed the floor with the shells. One
>nd all talked loudly and laughed
>oisterously. A red-hot stove at each
nd of the car brewed the reek of
rhisky, tobacco, orange peel' and
oasled peanuts into a nuisance.
It 'was an aocommoaauoD uuiu, uanng
at every "turn-out" to set down
rippers movecl by filial piety or farmlouse
romance and poetry to maintain
he traditions of the day. At the end
f the fifteenth mile we came to a dead
tandstill. A coal train had been
wrecked and must be cleared away beore
we could go on. We were stranded
n the exact centre of an uncomely exianse
of fields covered with sodden
now aud criss-crossed by blackish
tone fences. Now a farmstead was
isible ior over a mile on all sides of
is; half a dozen mean huts knotted
uto a sort of settlement about some
ailway coaling sheds, and twenty diseputable
loafers lounged from them

lashing against the becalmed train, it
nis but too evident that mountain

elegram to our caretaking gardener 1
t 11 o'clock, ordering him to send to (
very train until we came and to keep '
he dinner hot.
At 4.30 we alighted at the shabby
ittle station nearest our idyllic cotage.
No sleigh was iu waiting; not '
living creature was in sight, and the (

vouchsafed to our knocking; no faint
blue reek arose from chimney. The
children had behaved heroically up to
this instant. When their father an
nounced darkly that the villains had
never got his dispatch and had taken
themselves off upon a Thanksgiving
spree of their own baby began to sob,
and silent tears glazed the purpled
cheeks of the eldest girls.
"This is the tassel upon the cap of
the climax!" said their mother in
deadly calmness. "We will go to the
house and break our way in. Since
starve we must, we will starve in our
beds, under plenty of blankets."
She took a child by each hand,
paterfamilias reshouldered the weeping
baby, and we pulled our feet out
of the congealing snow. A plantation
of evergreens hid the turn in the path
at which we had our first glimpse of
the cottage. A weak cry from the
children, an astonished snort from
paterfamilias, a devout ejaculation
from the mother, broke into the gusty
air. For royal banners of smoke,
tinted by the glowing west, streamed
from every chimney, each window was
stained by scarlet fire-gleams from
within; Frank, our faithful watchdog,

front door was flung wide.
Our telegram bad arrived in good
season; the sleigh had gone to meet us
by the road, and, being a little behind
time, had missed us, who came across
lots. While our trusty retainers made
breathless explanations the odor of
roast turkey was borne to us upon the
flood of warm air pouring through hall
and doorway. Dinner would be on
table by the time we could get ourselves
into dry clothes.
Never did another dinner taste so

the abundant compensations that

Funny Storlcn ot Early Thanksgiving**
Many funny stories are told of the
?arly Thanksgiving days, such as the
;own of Colchester calmly ignoring the
jovernor's appointed day and observng
its own festival a week later, in
jrder to allow time for the arrival, by
iloop from New York, of a hogshead
)f molasses for pies. Another is re:ounted
of a farmer losing his cask of
rhauksgiving molasses out of his cart
is he reached the top of a steep hill
md of its rolling swiftly down till split
u twain by its fall. His helpless disjomtiture
and his wife's acidity of temper
and diet are comically told.

BREAKINC THE WISHBONE.
When to Lose the TOtih and When to

J) DESIRE to warn
C*jY you that a charming
young widow
J. who wants to
* break a wishbone

one of whom you
should beware.
She iB very

yoa didn't get

Milmll / 111 y?Qng "widow is
JjjjJJ a mind reader
v ' and knows just
what your
thoughts are while you are holding
the bone and looking down into her
eyes. If you have to look up into a
widow's eyes, there may be some hope
for you, but when 6ho looks up and
you look down she can read every one
of your thoughts. By the way, there
is only one, only has been one, only can
be one, thought passing through
a man's mind when he is breaking a
wishbone with a charming young g
widow?possession! She knows it as 5
I plainly as though written indelibly o
upon your forehead. That is her s
particular forte. And when you break f>
, the bone and find yourself possessed t
of the short end she will look up into t
your eyes with a look that will cause <
your poor back hair to crimp and say, 8
with that pitying tone of voice never t
so well modulated as by a widow:
"I am so sorry you lost!"
No matter what the after result of a
good dinner may bring forth, you can- ?
not help but hie yourself away to c
some quiflt resort obscure from pry- 3
ing and meddling eyes and bury your
disappointment in books or blues. j
But when you break a wishbone with
a sweet young girl it is a very different
thing. Sweet young girl's hearts were ^
made to be broken like the wishbone, t
You secure a deal of paradise while *
breaking bones with a sweet young ?
girl, whereas you get generally worm- a
wood and gall when you break bones {
with a fair widow. You throw all '
your art into the act of breaking a bone v
with a young girl, but when you break 8

your heart in against her art, and she
beats you nine times out of ten.
The best place to break a bone with
a fair widow is in the corner of a snug
sitting room, with the lights turned
low. A man's hear); lire glows more
vividly upon his cheeks then; also it I
j is more fun for the widow. She quite I
prefers earnestness of purpose and is I
ever ready for a tilt of hearts against h
arts. You might win a prize in the |
lottery of life if you would break a
bone with a fair young girl with your |
heart as fixed upon the one purpose? \

"Yes."
"Didyou go to the White House?
fou did? Well, please sit down and

"Why," I exclaimed, "you have

LIVER ILLS. 3
Db. Radway & Co., New York:
Dear Sirs?I have been sick for nearly
two years, and bare been doctozln; witn
some ot the most expert doctors of the
United States. 1 have been bathing In and
drinking hot water at the Hot Springs,
Ark., but It seemed everything failed to do
me good. After I satf your advertisement
I thought I would try your pills, and have
nearly used two boxesfbeen taking two at
bedtime and one after breakfast, and they
have done me more good than anything
else I have used. My trouble has been-. / q
with the liver. My skin and eyes were k1L
| yellow; I had 6'eepy, drowsy feelings; felt:
| like a drunken man; pain right'above the*
navel, like as if it was bile on top of the- ?
stomach. My bowels were very costive.
My mouth and tongue eore most of thetime.
Appetite fair, but food would not
digest, but settle heavy on my stomachy
and some few moutnfulB of food come up*
again. I could only eat light food that.
digests easily. Please send "Book of Advice."
Respectfully, BEN ZATJGG,
