HATE 'em!" good old
Deacon Phipps was in the
habit of saying, whenever
- - he saw an automobile.
- From the first moment the
F 8 . new invention appeared,
scaring his steady old horses almost
to death, and breaking up one of his
best farm wagons, Deacon Phipps had
no patience with any kind of a motor
vehiclo.
As time went on, and many of his
neighbors bought automobiles, his
horses became wonted to them and
turned never a hair wvhen they whizzed
by; but tihe good deacon did not re
lent. Whenever One p~assed him onl
the road, th rowinug, perhaiips, a shower
of dust or mud upon his modest ear
riage, and~ leaving behind it a trail
of ill-odor, he would mutter (under his
breath) wvordls which no goodl deacon
should over, ever usne.
TCho deacon and his wife grew old,
and1 their six children all married, ex
celpting 1Rhoda1, t he youngest, who
talyedl at home11 to take care of them-.
'rhe four sonis were' prosperous, andl
the older dauhtor had mlarrIied a very
rich man and lived one hund1(1red or
more mnilesn away. Twxo sonle; had be
come farmers and( liv-ed quite nlear.
Ono was a mnerchain t in a lar-ge to)wn
perhaps fifty miles (distan t. The fourth
01n0 was a minister-, settled in the(
uanme town withI thle merchant brother.
TVo tihe infinite dlisgust of IDeacon
Phiipps, all of these souns, exceptinjg
thme minister, ownied automobiles, and(
Thomas,~j tile mrichian t, actually spor-t
od threo or four. \Vhen his father
found this out, 1h0 Camel almost to the
point of brecaking off relations with
Th1omaos.
In thle old days, the famIly had
used to gather on the day before
'Thanksgiving, and( the large, airy
chamber-s of the amp110lo Phipp home
stead could accommodate them all.
Now the chlildlren and~ the grandichil
dren had increased inl numbler until
such gatherings were no longer plos
sibie. TIhe uncles andl aunts had dliedl
or had become infirm. T1hero had
been some pretty lonely Thlanksgiv
ings at the hospitable Phipps farm.
It was dutring the week b)Oforo tile
great (lay that D~eacon Phipps was sit
ting before tihe open fire in his big,
4 comfortable sittingroom, and ponder
lng over tis melancholy fact.
"'Tain't right," lhe grumbled to hit,
gentle wife, who sat knitting beside
him. "'Tain't right to hlave families

We could get our folks all together,
Susan, just once more. Here you an'

count up forty-one, but we can't got
'em together.
"Well," he mused on, "we'll try to
get a dozen or so of 'em an' call it a
family party, but you an' I an' Rhody,
an' the help are strong an' hearty, an'
could take care of 'em all, if they
would only come. But I don't see any
way."
"No, there isn't any way," sighed
his good wife, "but you hadn't oughter
complain, Silas. Ye've got a sight o'
blessin's, an' we'd oughter think o'
those we've got an' not hanker after
those we can't have." Which was good
doctrine, though it could not quite
stop the deacon's grumbling.
Miss Rhoda Phipps was quite equal
to the task of taking care of the old
people. A strong woman helped her
in the kitchen, and there were neigh
bors near by who were ready to do
extra work. Job, the good middle
aged man who had taken care of the
horses for many a year, was no mean
hand at household as well as stable
service, and at this sp)ecial Thanks
giving season Miss Rhoda kept them
all busy until tihe pantr'ies we're piled1
thick, with dainties. Mrs. Phipps
thought that there was too much food
prepared.
"Why, Rhoda, what (do we want

came a great touring car. The deacon
scowled, but as he heard, first the
sweet Gabriel horn, and then the
rough roar of the Klaxon, his faco re
laxed a little. Who were in the car?
It was not the family of son John.
Surely it was Thomas and his min
ister brother, with several members of
their families, and Mrs. Phipps fair
ly cried with joy as she saw them.
'There Is another load just behind
us," they shouted, as they drew up be
fore the door.
"Another load!" There were half
a dozen loads before the final toll was
taken, and when two strong, big
Phipps sons lifted out from one of the
cushioned limousines poor, lame old
Aunt Betty, who could not have
dreamed of coming in anything except
such a softly padded vehicle, the tears
were dropping all over Mother Phipps'
best white lace jabot.
Such a Thanksgiving! Every sin
gle one of the Phipps children and
grandcld~ren was there! The good
decacon's voice trembled with joy as
lie asked the blessing, and poured out
his thanks before God.
"But you know, father," said Thomas
Phipps, slyly, "there are several of us
who couldn't possibly have Conme If it
hadn't been for those automobiles that

Have to Partake of the

"Yep," said Mr. Growcher, "nothing
was made in vain. Everything that,
earth produces may serve som useful
purpose, if you can only find out what
it is. There is a whole lot to think
about in that story of the mouse
who gnawed the not for the captured
lion."
"Mebbo there is," replied his wife.
"But I'm willing to bet that was the
only kind and considerate mouse
known to the animal kingdom."
"Yon are wrong. Have you forgot
ten that Welsh rabbit party we at
tended last night?"
"Yes. But t here wasn't any Welsh
rabbit?"
"And as a result we are all comfort
able and happy today inste ad of be
ing miserable and dyspeptic. And we
owe it all to the fact that a few kind
hearted mice sneaked around d uriag
the afternoon and ate up the cheese."

the lord was served first of all. Each

The infirnities of age are especially
manifest in a tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that will afford
relief in an easy, natural manner. The
rapid action of cathartic remedies and
purgatives that shock the system
should be avoided, more especially as
the relief they offer is only temporary
and is usually more than offset by (11
turbanceo to the vital organs caused
by their violent action.
