[Copyright, IUN. by American Press Association ] MY cousin Ksther was n notable tioiist keeper and the Host cook in Wyoming valley, ami site was preparing dinner in a happy frame of mind. The young folks had all gone to town, to church, and wcie to return with the guests Margaret, tin- artist daughter. nil IM'iiol ?i liuw l. nt ' - ' ? sjIj.I* n*l irl? . bor So Cousin Km hot- laid the t:i hie while till' i*:in^e was ^lenmiii^t and si/.vling with the goed tilings in the oven iiiui on top. There were to he twentyeight guests at table. Cousin Ksther brought large baskets from the cellar loaded with preserves, jams, jellies and pickles, great red apples, cheese, a cold boiled Lam. pink and delicious home raised and cured. And there were big pitchers of milk and thick eieani The ham was put at one end of the table, and tin? preserves and pickles in pretty glass dishes were set along in double lines. The table was stretched to ;ts capacity and sup plemented by two others, with the old Avery silver at the bead. Cousin Ksther thought that the best decoration for a table was an abun dance of good and substantial food She provided neither soup nor lisb Put Margaret bad taken a pumpkin and scooped it out and tilled it with late Dowers, bordered with richly tinted foliage. Tile dishes of jellies ami tin? pickles with tl.eir dull greens gave color in contrast with the snowy cloth. The cheese was piled 111 generous cubes, the butter, golden and swoet in fancy dishes I'lies of slices of bread cut from tirm. lug white leaves with crisp cruris w?-rc put at intervals along the whole length of the table, and six dist ant kinds ot cake were there, all fronted and uncut. The dresser held the pies-mince, ap pie, cranberry, leuioii and pumpkin It looked like a baker's show window. Hanked by the biK dishes of apples and the milk and cream and the great punch bowl which held the nutshickory nuts, walnuts and butternuts. j With quick, short steps C'ousln Es- J ther fairly flew between the table. ! run Re and "buttery." where all the kttchen work was done save cooking. { The kitchen was twenty feet square j nud paneled and floored with oak. j which Margaret had shellacked till It shone. This room was both kitchen and dining room and had southern windows. By the time the table was set Margaret returned from the sick neighbor's rosy and radiant, bringing ttie erispness of the mountain air along. "Yes, mother; they were glad of the things. Anna can sit up But what u helpless thing a man is! There would j have been no Thanksgiving there but for you." "But for you. you mean. Go and see; if the visitors are coming. I hope they ! won't be late to spoil all mv cooking." "Yes; they are coming up the road | We have just time to dish up." Mar : garet donned her painter's apron and ilew to help Cousin Esther let her mash the turnips. squasn the potatoes and season ; the boiled onions Everything was pitt , on the tabic except the pies Then came the crowning glories of the feast I a big chicken pie and a pan of baked: beans from one oven mid from the other a sparerih muj ;i monstrous tnr key brown us a chestnut and emitting j appetizing odors. The meats were set on the top of the range to keep hot. white the immense roast of beef was replaced la the oven, v.nd the gravy was made. The vegeta-1 hies were dished, set on the racks and ten and cotTee made. A plum pudding had been baked in a six quart pan, and this was put in one oven to heat, while; h perfect mountain of foamy "hard sauce" was ready on the dresser. Scarcely was this done when three sleigh loads stopped at the gate, and Cousin Ksther stood in the door with Margaret to welcome her guests. There was much laughing as she hurried them In the removal of their wraps to come te dinner. The table was so crowded with the meats and vegetables that not one inch of cloth showed. Men were requested to carve and serve the different meats nearest tbem, and everybody bellied everybody else. Miles had the turkey to Carve.

She did not believe in making them wait, and she kept them so busy eating that they behaved very well at dinner and after they were too full to do more than pick at the uutfl. Everybody ate and laughed and complimented Cousin Esther, and her smiles broadeuecj as she saw the sub btantial food disappearing. The guests ate their way through all the meats and vegetables, pickles and cheese itud bread until there might have been a famine had it riot been for the cakes, pies and pudding. Two of the young girls present volunteered to take away all the dishes and tiring the pies and apples and nuts, also the noble pudding that was as rich as Croesus, yet gave no one indigestion When they had all tiuished and literally could contain no more the guests went to the parlor, where Kate played on the organ and they all sang hymns. Cousin Esther and Margaret remained f to set things to lighls, lor the young l'olks wanted to play games in the kitchen later. Miles came in with a letter bearing the Canadian v? imp and ' a crest. showing that It tfns from the viceroy. Margaret unit very white. "I wanted you to enjoy your dinner and thought this would Keep." "Head It. Martinet." said Coiisln Esther. fa lining herself violently with a dish towel. "I en n't romP-lt out. mother; I should cry If I tried, hut it says that I am to paint ail their portraits, he^innin^ with the marquis himself." "Well, dear." said Cousin Msther, a little shakily, "this is a real Thanksjfiviuu. isn't it. Miles?" "Yes. mother, and l.ucy and I thought, coming up from Anna's- that is. it you are willing to have them here" ? "(in and lulim them here." said Cousin Esther, sitting down tieavily. "Now. if your poor pa would only tret over Ids rheumatism ? well, 1 am thankful, very thankful." And a couple of his. hrlirht tears told how very thankful Cousin Esther was NOTICE OF SALE.

Si V CENTER OF INTEREST BATTLE IN POLAND 'PENDING ENGAGEMENT WHICH MAY LENGTHEN OUT CONSIDERABLY 'have important bearing : While Germans Rush Men to the East to Fiuht in Poland, >!o-c Big Guns Taken to Flanders for Great En gagement. Dispatches from the city of London published in this country last Friday stated as follows in reference to the battle that is pending in Poland: Public interest in the European war now is centered in the battle of the Russians and Germans between the Vistula and Warthe rivers in Poland. It is believed the outcome there will have a marked effect on the duration of the war. Both German and Russian headquar icrs are very sparing with information. All that is definitely known is that the Russian advance guard con! sisting largely of cavalry, which advanced right on to the German frontier after the battle at Warsaw, met superior forces and has fallen back more than half the distance covered in the advance. The Germans are sending strong forces into the country between the two rivers where the battle must be ("nnti'lil' iliol in iVM^UVJ ll.tn 111 UilO VVIIIII1VM area the Russians will not be ud'v to dep'oy their enormous armies to advantage. The Russians, however, now I can choose their own ground for the battle, an ! it is probable they will select it as far as possible from the Gcr man lines of communication. Russians Continue Active, i In Galicia before Craweon, and in 1 Fast Prussia the Russians are pushing j their advantage, apparently disregarding the fact that their centre has been compelled to fall back. They also are showing much activity in the Carpathians to prevent the Avistrians from retiring into Hungary. It is stated they already have cut off 800,000 Austrians, who will now be compelled, if defeated to retreat westward In Flanders and France the battle which has been going on for thirtyftve days has again developed into an artilery duel. This doubtless is due to inability of the infantry on either side to operate successfully over the muddy ground and to the extended flooded area between the coast and Dixmude. While the Germans are moving men eastward to oppose the Russians they | are reported to be bringing more big i guns to the westward front. Conflicting Claims. Russian and Turkish 4 squadrons ; have met in a long-distance duel off I Scbastopol and both claim victory. The Russian report says the Turkish cruiser Goeben was damaged, while the Turks claim a Russian battleship suffered severely and that the other Russian warship fled, i Reminiscent of early days of the war is the report from Vienna that j Belgrade has been called upon to sur render. This city, Capital of Servia, was under bombardment for weeks and was relieved only when the Russian advance in Galicia compelled the Austrian? to look after their northern frontiers. Now the Servians, like the Montenegrins, are back in their own country, and the Austrian?, unmindful of the second invasion of their northern provinces, are endeavoring to destroy the two little armies.
