GoDEY's LADY's Book for Novem-
ber is a genuine Thanksgiving number,
calculated to cause gratitude in the
hearts of all its patrons. The steel en-
graved frontispiece "Without a Care"
is capital study of child life-three
little girls cuddling under an old UNI
brella, each with diminutive pussy in
her arms. Mrs. Mary Bradley has a
charming poem in this issue "At the
Lock-" which is illustrated by two
handsome pull-page process cuts.
Helen Mathers' new serial Love Lies
A Bleeding" begins in this number in
bright and engaging vein. Emily
Reade has clever story called Madame
Hortense's Portrait" which contains an
account of hidden jewels in secret
panel. The Yoke of Honor" ends
satisfactorily this month, while Max
Wander Weyde continues his interesting
reports of Phillipa' S doings in the article
on Ceramic Club" This series that
tells about women helping themselves
in a pecuniary way has obtained great
and well-merited popularity. Another
strong feature of the magazine this
month is Henry Campbell's account of
memorable murder that is set forth in
"The Confession of Victor Deluc."
"Eric's Legacy" Zone Nights His
tory" and "rhe Lost Opportunity arc
all capital short stories, while the poems
by George Birdseye, Mrs. DE Fontaine,
Minnie Macarthur and Charles l..
Northrup help make up number of ex-
traordinary merit. We had thought he
fore that Godey's was excellent, but this
month she has truly eXcelled herself.

all sections Of the country. Securities
are firm, and while crops have been
abundant and prices low, they have not
been drugs in the market, but have
found ready sale at prices which, If too
low, have not been by any means starv-
alton prices. There are few troubles in
the labor market, and we believe a year
of great prosperity is before all classes
of the people.

"Reminiscences.

From the Laddonia Herald we clip
the following in regard to the 4th Of
July picnic:
w. H. Beal delivered few written
"reminiscences of the meeting in 1860.
SAID that the committee on arrange
ments for that occasion was Abner
Smith, whereabouts now unknown,
John Ball, of Santa Fe, Frank Wicks,
of st. Louis, Jas. Carman, of Macon
City, Jas. Allison, deceased, and
Jno. Thomas, of Laddonia. G. E..
Smith and j. r. Gililland were the
committee to secure speakers, and j.
r. Gililland also acted as marshal
and chairman of the meeting. W. r.
Cook read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. C. f. Smith was compar-
atively a young man then and deliv-
cred speech with all the enthusiasm
and patriotism characteristic of the
young American. J. R. Gililland
also made short speech, and G. w.
Hoffman invoked the divine blessing
over the dinner table, for single
table was spread where all partook in
common. Mortimer McIlhany, now
of Texas, made speech in the after
noon. He was candidate for rep
resentative of Audrain and made his
speech and thanked the ladies fol
their kind attention and said to the
gentlemen, "when election day comes

The Bondage of the Smoker.

Yes, it is terrible bondage. 1t is
a slavery. Yes, I inhalc the smoke
and then blow it out again. 1t is
very silly, is it not? I do the same
thing with my breath. Away with
this useless breath. Some breaths
are much pleasanter far, far away.
Why do smoke cigars? Because I
am the biggest and therefore the
cigar cannot help itself. 1t is an
economical habit The smoke Of the
cigar keeps the moths out of my
hair. Then I use tobacco to pre-
serve human life. Science tells me
that three drops of the oil of tobacco
placed upon the tongue of a rattle
snake or dog will kill either OR both
of them in a minute. 1 tremblet to
think how many times I walked in
the very shadow Of death before
began to carry plug of tobacco
around with me. Now when 1 meet
mad dog 1 am secure. He may
bite me but will kill him. The can
nibal who eats me will dream tha
night that he got hold of the wrong
prescription.

Little Buttercup.

One day we lost Baby Edna again.
She is very sweet, loving baby, and
she hardly ever cries. Her eyes are
big, and brown, and velvety, like
pansies, and her hair is yellow like
sunshine, and fine like silk, and it
curls in little fluffy rings.
where's the baby?" asked papa,
coming home from the store with a
big golden orange in his hand.
What do you suppose he wanted Of
Edna?
''She went over to grandma's half
an hour ago." answered mama.
"I'll go over and get her now,"
said papa.
But grandma had not seen her
the cunning two-year-old baby, who
could just toddle off all alone her.
self. Aunt Sue had not seen her
either, nor had Uncle Will, who had
been hoeing corn in the garden all
the morning.
Not a great way from grandma s
house is a meadow and a little brook
runs through it. 1t is a very little
brook indeed, but when papa found
the baby's pink sun-bonnet floating
in it his face got very white. Nam.
mas face got very white, too, and she
wrung her hands, and grandma's
glasses got very dim; poor grandma
so dim that she had to sit down on q
big rock to rub them clear again.
There were buttercups all around
tall, nodding buttercups.
In minute grandma began to rut
her eyes. She saw, o, such big
buttercup, Misunderstanding with tht
others in the sun!
"Why! why!" said grandma; ant
she got up and walked through the
tall grass nearer and nearer to it
= That buttereup had pair of brown
eyes and little rose-leaf face ant
two wee hands filled with truly but
, tercups. Wasn't it real funny?
''Why baby!" cried grandma
"Why baby!"
In a minute papa came with th
orange still In his hand, and mamma
who caught up the runaway bab
and gave her a dozen kisses on tn
spot.
why, baby, how did you get los
: away out here?" she said.
"Me wasn't losted,'' said Bah
Edna, smiling sweetly. "Me kno,

Then she rode to the house O

the first place; of course It was

You viii observe that the bark of
the humorist does not ride always
upon untroubled seas. He has his
trials, troubles, vexations and iisap-
pointments the same as other folks.
He falls down the cellar-stairs with
an oleander, shuts, the heavy front
dopr upon his thumb, bets his money
on the candidate that gets left, comes
home to the bosom of his light-haired
family with long dark hair hang-
ing to his coatbutton, and in mo-.
ments of abstraction sits down upon
a coil of barbed-wire fencing; and
through it all he is expected to wear
Ia glad smile and throw off scintiila-
ting jokes. Think you, fond mother
of dear, sweet boy, that this be
easys Alas, the official count, which
is now completed, shows beyond

dresses worn this year are very ef-
fective. The elder. of two fair bath
ers last week wore sea dress, So
called. The material was serge, Of

and trousers were trimmed with
brown lace to match; the brown cap
had red pompons. On the bodice

tied bows of red serge; brown san
Edals and stockings worked in red

fine, clinging woolen material. 1t
was made with a white waistcoat
trimmed with Venetian lace in zigzag
fashion. The large collar was Of the
same lace and around the edge OF
the trousers was founce of the
same material. White silk pompons
ornamented her hat and her stockings
were of light blue silk. A third was
still more fanciful than these. Ii

XIII style. with waistcoat trimmed
with gold lace and there was a gold
edging of lace around the bottom oi
the trousers. The white silk stock.
ings were embroidered with gold,
also the shoes, which fitted the own
