THE MIKADO'S FATE.
A THANKsaIvIKo TRAGEDY.

II was about the first Of November that the
big turkey, the Mikado of the farmyard, was
given house all to himself and everybody
waited upon him in the most untiring man
ner. At first he was somewhat astonished at
20 marked change in his fortunes Such
extraordinary consideration as he now re-
ceived at everybody's hands amazed him for
q time, but he soon settled 1t in his mind en-
tirely to his satisfaction.
"Ho! ho!n he said. "Ha! hs! They have
Just learned my worth. Ihave always known
that was great genius, with brain q big

poor Insignificant things, and the chickens,
sorry creatures, knew it also. At least, they

ance It has come at last, however. See
how they truckle to me, kow-tow to me, sup
ply my every want almost before II Is felt,
and make menials of themselves 10 cater
to my pleasurel"
This he said to himself as he walked BY
himself. The other citizens Of the farmyard
looked at him with glowering faces and the
bitterness Of envy in their heartA He
had always tyrannized over them, and they
hated him with q hatred al the more
deadly because II was concealed under tie
mask Of respect. Now, though he bad never
done humane or generous thing In bis life,
they beheld him housed and Toasted like q
king, with the sauce Of admiration served up
to him every hour. They couldn't under.

no joy. The sun and the moon traverse the
heavens without warming our chilled hearts
or lighting our dark pathway"
"For what shall we be thankful" say the
disappointed. "Wherever we turn, there,
waiting to dishearten US, turks disappoint-

At this moment the clock on the mantel
struck IL We listened to its strokes till tho
last one died away.
ut is Thanksgiving morning, said my hus-
band, solemnly.
When the morning really came, with Ito
fresh, frolicking winds and sunlight, and
blue skies; with its merry faces and gay
voices, and the happy children rapping at my

he must have been, 20 real and sweet p. oven

saw his peaceful face, and felt the bless

voice. What for months l had looked upon
and feared with the bitterness Of q great
dread, the face, and smile, and voice made
almost painless.
The children's merry greetings did not hurt
me; my fingers did not tremble when they
twined the fresh green leaves about the walls
The older children went with US to church
that morning. The little church was very
still and pleasant, and somehow the service
stole away down into my heart. 1t was no
eloquent preacher that we heard; only q
plain man. with Gods plainest gifts Of mind
and culture. But the day was real to him,
and listened. A bit Of Mrs. Browning's
music kept singing itself in my soul:
praise thee while my days 60 on,
love thee while my days go on;
Through dark and dearth, through fire and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
thank thee while my days 60 on

THE TALK OVER HIS HEAD AND BONES.
The hen who was in favor Of equal suffrage
said that after all there were compensations
In life. She still held her old views; but she
had learned lesson in patience. Her dream
Of political equality would be realized; but
The must wait, and while she waited work a.
well as talk A very aged old bird Of no par
ticular lineage cleared his throat just then.
As he was generally silent, he commanded
great attention when he did speak. He said
"You are getting on to the true philosophy Of
life at last. Agitation doesn't accomplish
half as much as people think it does. The in.
auences which really move the world are
subtle. Your takers think they revolution
lie the world; but the real power comes from
higher, much higher" - and he subsidized
into silence.
The noted anarchist rooster had nothing at
all to say until his views were called for.
Even then he evaded it until cornered and
compelled to talk. Then he Strengthened up
and put on his old time, important manner.

that he lived upon the proceeds Of your labor,

"Oh dear; what q difficult and dangerous
world to live in!" said all in one voice.
The old house dog, who was fond Of Shakes

An old and opinionated eat that had been

. word to say. "You are very inexperienced

is better thousand times for your souls good
than the wealth Of Gould or Vanderbilt,
or even the Mikado. Ben Franklin spoke
wisely when he said:
He that Is down need fear no fall
He that Is humble none at ALL"
Just then the Mikado, whose doors had been
opened by the beautiful daughter Of the house
to give him an hours walk In tho sunshine,
came near them with lordly gait, head erect
and wings scraping the earth in overwhelm-
ing pride. In spite of the cats sermon on
humility, in the face Of the fact that they
knew she spoke the truth, they felt shriveled
and mean In the presence Of this petted and
admired creature. He walked near them,
smiled scornfully, and said:
Stand out Of the way, you creatures small,
Stand out Of the way Of my shadow;
For am the king and boss Of all,
Oh, am the great Mikaio.
And they stood out Of his way, though
here and there was one who could not re.
frain from shedding tears, SO deep was his
humiliation.
q friend, just then appeared on the other
side of the fence, and the object Of their at
tention seemed to be the Mikado. He WASN'T
slow to show his appreciation Of the dis
tinction, either. He strutted and gobbled
in the most pompous and self-gratulatory
way.

Our little pantry will not boast
Delicious viands by the host

Meath weight Of all the good things knt ~
Our little tabls will not groan,
No, not the very least;
Our little home will not be blest
With many welcome, Joyous guest
To help US at the feast.
Yet, notwithstanding what We lack,
Well not regretfully look back
And sigh for better days;
But we will fill in every part
The spacious store rooms Of our hear>
With gratitude and praise.
Wen count our present blessings o'sr,
And we shall find they number more
Than all our trials do;
Our happy, thoughtful hearts shall be
Delightful guests-right royalty
They will reward us, too.
To seats we once did occupy
we not look up Wild wiStIM eye
And covetous unrest;
But bending low down our gaze
To poorer homes, to sadder ways,
Thank God we are 80 blest.
Thank God that though our home il small,
1t still contains the dear ones all,
Rich in affections wealth;
Thank God We have enough to eat,
Thank God for clothing warm and neat,
Thank God for perfect health.
Thank God We feel the fires warm glow,
While many cold and flreless 60
In many a cherries home.
Oh, yes, most gratefully Wen lift
Our souls to God for every gift,
And trust for all to come.
Thus round our frugal littlG board,
With cheerful hearts wen praise the Lord
And keep the jubilee;
Nor shall there anywhere lie found,
Within this nations utmost bound,
A happier family.

1t might be dangerous to stake ores repu-
tation upon the assertion that Thanksgiving
Is a strictly religious feast. 1t is day of
practical rejoicing in the good things Of this
world, and there may even be people whose
mouths are fuller of turkey than their hearts
Of thanks But every year the area Of the
feast enlarges. Every year there are more
people who sit dow to "groaning boards, as
the reporters happily express 1t, upon occa-
sons Of civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving Long and long may
bis hospitable board be spread. Long and
long may he stand, benignant, at his door,
calling in the poor and the weary, the blind
and the lame, even as the old Puritans called in
Massasoit and ninety other savages Rich in
blessings and reverend in years, may good
old Thanksgiving last with the continent,
knitting closer che ties Of family and friend
ship; its cheerfulness beaming like the smile
Of a patriarch; its charity burning like CEN
trail fire, warming all the year and lighting
up every dark day Of care and sorrow.
