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.

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

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 :

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

of appeal his Hister Margaret gave hliu.
Esther had all the children grouped
around her place. 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

"Yes. mother, and l.ucy and I thought,

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.
