St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-11-25
ThanksgiVing,

SHILLING a pound. sir; some there for
IL cents" This was the reply vendor OF
turkeys made at the city market yesterday.
They went like hot cakes, for the demand for
turkeys was great. The young couple pur-
chased a teu-pound fowl and started for
home in high spirits. Last evening that
turkey was dressed and stuffed, and when
the sun is fast approaching tie meridian line
to-day it will be placed in the oven and thor
oughy baked. Then the table will be set,
and when the bird is ready, host and hostess
will take the head and foot of the table, re-
spectively To the bashful young man will
be given the pleasant task of carving.
Doubtless he will render the occasion ex-
ceedinglY hilarious. The timid maiden will
give way to spasmodic fits of laughter amid
bushes, and grandma and grandpa will
revert to the days when they were young
and the Thanksgiving party, exclusive of
themselves, was vet unborn.
To-day the politician will unbosOm himself
at his own fireside. The result of the late
election will afford some themes for thank
fitness.
The hotels will present their customary ia
BILE treats. The Ryan is to have big feast
from until p. m.; the tables at the Mer-
chants will be ready at the usual hour, with
burdens of good things; between l and 8 p.
m, the Windsor and the Clarendon will re-
gale their guests with fatted fowl and the
flowing punch bowl, and all the other popular
resorts will commemorate the day of graft
tude gracefully.
The laborer will rest, the pastor preach, and
the merchant and professional man will esti-
mate the balance of credit over debit For q
day the wheels Of industry are to cease, til e
public Offices close, and the clerks desk be-
come vacant. Friends ard relatives will give
praise at the altar and then gather around
the common board. Let the tables groan and
the people rejoice.
