THE ANNUAL DOWNFALL
(By Wilbur 0. ZACcsbit
ii,' . *
It was an earnest humorist who vowed a solemn vow;
"I will not write a turkey-hash-and-soup joke, anyhow)
I will not do that fearsome thing* I will not pen a jest
About the bird whose remnants rise to mock the staying guest**
He made a postscript to his vow, he made a codicil.
He was as serious as though he framed his final will.
And then he sat him down and smiled, and thought with all his might
About the post-Thanksgiving jokes he did not have to write,
But in a day or so he felt exceeding queer and strange.
A restless something held his mind, he hankered for a change.
He asked his doctor what was wrong; the doctor gave a psll
And made a memorandum to add twenty to his bill
Then all the jokes that grace this time came flocking to his brain.
Each ancient auip and jingling rhyme marched sternly in the train.
And each of them and all of them compelled him then to think
Just as a man thinks when he says he shuts off smoke or drink.
At last he said: " Well, juit one more ? a farewell jc ft 1*0 write.
It shaU be nothing serious, some fancy thin and light. '
He wrott the jest, just as a man who says he has sworn off
Takes rock-and-rye or some such thing to soothe a little cough.
But whv pursue this sorry tale ? Why tell of what he did >
*Twa? like the "one more" drink or smoke that throws away the lid.
He wrote of turkey hash, and soup, of turkey meat croquettes.
He wrote of bones that had been grilled, of warmed-up entremets.
He wrote of turkey pie and stew, of turkey consomme,
He wrote a turkey-joke debauch until the break of day.
And when they came and found him ill, and sought to nurse him through
They said: "Here, taste this turkey broth. It will be good for youK*

DAY OF FESTIVITY
? V
Spirit of Thanksgiving Manifested
in Enjoyment as Well as
in Devotions.
Theijpfore the Turkey In the Center
of Well-8pread Board la a Sym
bol of Praise to tho Giver of
All That la Good and
Perfect. 7
FROM the early days when the
Saxon kings tethered their
steeds "hard by the banquet
board," l so that the foam- of
the chargers flecked the beard
of the eater, to the present time, the
spirit of the amply loaded board - le
the spirit of festivity and of good
will. Thanksgiving day would be
robbed of the particular flavor it pos
aesseB it It were a day of severe ob
servation. ' The spirit of Thanksgiv
ing without the sanctifying grace of
the spread board would be a spirit of
cheerlessness. The Thanksgiving tur
key is as much a part of the day as
are the devotions thai the day calls
forth. The devotions would be dry
and sapless if the day were made a
virtual penance, as would be the case
without the turkey "regnant upon the
platter, while the family gathers about
the board to give thanks for home
blessings as a pkrt of the liberal por
tion that Providence has dispensed
to the nation. The Thanksgiving tur
kfey Is the emblem of the nation's de
votion.
The assembling of the congrega^
tlons in the churches la but a part
of the devotion of the day. It is, in
tut; the symbolic part. .It la ex
pressive of the spirit of the people
In praise to the Deity for the general
blessings, to the nation. The actual
spirit of 'thanksgiving is that which
takes account of the unison of the
family In the act of praise aa it par
takes of the provisions of the day.
Charles Lamb says that one should
not only say grace at meat, but a
hundred times a day for the goqd of
living. The grace said at the Thanks
giving board ? and even those unUsed
to such invocation should observe it
upon that' occasion ? Is a grace for
the blessings of life vj-hlch the
Thanksgiving dinner then setB forth.
Hack of all nattoiyUlty lies the fum
lly. This 1h the foundation atone in
the social Bystem. The city, the Btate,
the nation are outgrowths of the
family. The people expressing their
thanks to Almighty Qod for the bless
ings conferred uoMj^khe community
In Its several orguM^tlons is not as
sacred a symbol as the family at
meat in recognition of the goodness
of Qod to Its members. The purity
and sweetness of the family tie, the
power and influence of the family
teaching, the consecration and devo
tion of the heads of the family cir*
ole ? these are the things that All the
measure' of Thanksgiving as the
myriad household groups gather about
the well-laden boards to return
thanks for the good things of Qod to
them. From the youngest to the eld
est in these groups the real spirit of
thanksgiving Is set forth, even though
many of them do not dwell upon the
spirit of pralae In fact. For, after all,
true thanksgiving Is to be in the
spirit of praise and not Blmply to ex
press forms of devotion. These latter
are essential as the symbollng forth
of the gratitude of the nation, but
the simple loving and the goodness of
the family group is the basis of the
real thanksgiving spirit.
The churches will be well attended,
and the discourse, the worship and
the singing will all direct the mind
toward the mighty advance of the
nation that was formed from the scat'
tered colonies of the Atlantic sea
board and will point to the beginnings
of Thanksgiving day upon the bleak
coasts of New England. All this is
well. Gktd, who made and has kept
the American people a nation, has
done more by that act to attest the
spirit of his fatherhood than by any
other act in the history of nations or
of peoples. All should unit* in wor
ship in the churches and return home
to enter into the praise of the family
oircle.
In the family circle will be found
the turkey in the setting of the ac
cessories of one of the biggest din
ners of the year. It is to be hoped
that all may have a Thanksgiving
dinner, so that all may enter into
thie praise for the goodness of the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
Without the turkey, the accepted sym
bol of American rejoicing at Thanks
giving time, the day would be incom
plete; with It the spirit and essenoe
of the occasion Is present.
