BOYHOOD'S THRONE AT THIS SEASON ?'?' 8'^ f V" ' V/. " 7H - n't fi nWi i V'*' '?*' WISHBONES and DMKKS Let others sigh, and call the day's Now Coming melancholy; I've got my winter's stock of coal, And it is paid for, bless your soul; I'm full of thanks, by golly. "Why are you complaining, Edith? What has happened?" "Mrs. Waldron has spoiled my Thanksgiving." "Hpw^dld she do that?" "By getting a winter hat that fs just like mine." ? "Oh, well, Imitation is the sincerest flattery, you know." "Rut sho got it two weeks before I got mine, and I didn't know it." Thanks for the present, thanks for the past; Thanks for the future, . hidden and vast; Thanks for the water, thanks for the land; Thanks for the turkey; isn't life grand? Crops have all been harvested, -and mighty good ones, too; No danger that the government will go to smash, I guess; Mary's had the measles, but the doctor pulled her through, And the world Is full of reasons to be having thankfulness. "Why is it that you will not pernllt your husband to carve the turkey, Mrs. Barker?" "Because the gravy doesn't match our new dining room wall paper." ? ' t The man who eats the proper way ' May eat on next Thanksgiving day. 1 "Where the carving tools are," said the visitor, * "endeavoring to be faceti ous, "there is the head of the table." ; "Oh, I don't know," said Mrs. Hen peck. "I generally have the coffee pot placed at the head of the table." i "Remember, my friend," said the philosopher, "that you have ' many things to be thankful for." "Yes, I know that, but I have a son who thinks he is learning to sing tenor." i . "Of course you don't have to work on Thanksgiving, do yoii?" "I should say I did. I always have to carve the turkey." "You don't look at all thankful. "What'e the troublo?" "Oh, It's all on account of our next door neighbors. They had a parrot, but It died a couple of weeks ago." "It seems to mo that ought to be sufficient cause to fnako you feel thankful." "It would if they hadn't got a phono graph and about forty dollars' worth j of ragtime records." 1 j "Well, you look cheerful for a man who has just been touched. Didn't I aeo you give money to the man you wore talking to a moment ago?" "You did. I'm thankful, too. He said ho would pay me back the day after j Thanksgiving." "Do you expect him to keep hla j promise V 7 "No; but I'm thankful, Just the eame. For a year or more he has been boring me with stories about bis child and ; 'funny* things the kid says and does. | Now thin is all ended. After today he will avoid me. So I feel that I have cause for thanksgiving, even if it did cost me two dollars." HENRY HOWL.AND. THANK8GIVING RECIPE. (The following 1b a recipe which has been thoroughly tested out by very many people, and which, while at times somewhat costly, will be found most satisfying, not only at thiB particular season, but through out the year.) One year's work, well don?. A nice clean business, either small or large, but free from debts; or, the very best job that you can get by hard work. Of services to others, aB many as can be rendered ? the more the better ? covered over with forget fulness. A few favors received from your best friends, well remembered. A perfectly clear conscience, And Belief in the universal brotherhood of man, congealed into every-day practice, .7, Mix all together, and season well with cheerfulness. IN TIME OF UNHAPPINESS Facts About President Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamations ' Dur ing tho War. #? The initial date of the national Thanksgiving has been fixed at Sep tember 3, 1864, but this seems some what arbitrary. On April 10, 1862, (Nicolay & Hay, Complete Works, vii.f I 144), President Lincoln Issued a proc lamation recommending general thanksgiving and prayer for the na tional victories on the weekly day of religious observance next following the receipt of tho proclamation. On July 15, 1863, (ix., 32) he issued a thanksgiving proclamation for vic tories and appointed Thursday, August 6, as the day of such observance. A eecond proclamation in the same year dated October 3, (ix., 151), in more general terms appointed the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving and praise. On May 9, 1864, (x., 94), he issued a less formal 'recommendation of thanksgiving" without setting apart any day for ob servance. In the serial examinations of these records we now discover that the assignment of the initial date to September 3, 1864, is more than arbi trary, it is absurd. On that day Presi dent Lincoln issued two orders of thanks and rejoicing" (x., 212), tender ing tho national banks to Farragut, Canby and Granger and setting frpart September 5, 6 an$ 7 for national sa lutes of 100 guns. On October 20, 1864, (x., 245), ho issued his second thanks giving proclamation for the last Thurs day of November. These thanksgiv ings were a part of the war feeling. That they were continued after the war and were turned into more gen eral channels is due to the success of the agitation carried on most earnestly by Sarah Josepha Halo, editor of God ey's Ladies' Book. Reasons for Rejoicing. In all gifts the Individual has shared and has cause for giving of thanks. But above and beyond these he or she upon reflection will find the chiefest cause &r thanksgiving in the posses sion of life and health, in tho prcrBBT vatlon of loved ones through another year. The person who can remain in sensible to this on such an occasion Is indeed to be pitied ? as much so as the Individual who Is not moved to express his thankfulness in * thought for others less favored. This Is the real spirit of Thanksgiving, tha spirit that must Had Its deepest expression in generous deed and lore. j PARTITION HAI.M.
