rHlNrsGryIyG IN THE OLD HOME.
e the patient moss 70 the rlfted hill

Like the patient moss TO the rifted hill
The wee brown house Is clinging.
A last years nest that is lone and still,
Though 1t first was filled with singing.
Then fleet were the children's pattering
feet,
And their thrilling childish laughter,
And merry voices were sweet, oh sweet,
Ringing from floor to rafter
The beautiful darlings one by one,
From the nests safe shelter flying,
Went forth In the sheen OF the morning sun,
Their tiuttering pinions trying.
But oft as the reaping time Is DER
And the hoar-frost crisps the stubblc.
They haste TO the little home once moro
From the great worlds toll and trouble,
And the mother herself is at the pane,
With hand the dim eye shading,
And the flush of girlhood tints again
The check that Is thin aud fading.
For her boys and girls are coming home,
The mothers kiss their guerdon,'
AS they came ere yet they had learned TO
roam,
Or bowed to the task and burden.
Over the DOORS worn sill they troop,
The skies Of youth above theu
The blessing of God on tht happy group,
Who have ncther left TO love them.
They wei may smile in the face Of care,
To whom such grace is giyen;-
a mothers faith and mothers prayer,
Holding them close to heaven.
For her, as she clasps her bearded son;
With heart that's trimming over,
She's tenderly blending two in one,
Her boy and her boyish lover.
And half Of her soul Is reft away
So Irvine the dead and the living,
In the little homG wherein to-day,
Her children keep THANKSGIVING
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
And small leads brown and golden;
The childish laugh and the childish frown,
And the dimpled fingers foldep,
That brings again 10 the mother-h'e5st
The spell of the sunny weather,
When SIZE hpshed her brood in the crowded
meet,
And all were glad together.
A truce TO the Earring notes Of life,
The cries of pain and passion,
Over this lull in the eager strife,
Love hovers, Eden fashion.
In the wee brown house were lessons
taught
OF strong and sturdy living,
Ind ever where honest hearts have
wrough
God hears the true Thanksgiving.

The turkey was alive now, aud strutting
about the yard. He had once belonged TO
quite a respectable brood, but one after
another of his family had run out in the
wet grass, taken cold and died, until only
this solitary Turk remained. He was
white turkey named Sultan. He was quito
as pompous and quite as dignified as any
sultan OF Turkey had ever been Some
body had told Ethel that the Arabic word
sultan meant mighty man." and this
! white fowl was as proud as if he under
stood his title. No peacock was ever vain
er than he. Whenever anybody glanced
At him he spread his tail, rubbed his wings
On the ground, and gObbled haughtily
He was very white, very fat, and, so far as
turkeys so, he was very good looking. No
doubt he would make a delectable dinner.
Mrs. Sequin resolved TO kill the sultan in
honor of the wanderers return, just as
cheerfully AS the father in the good Book
killed the fatted calf in for his prodigal
son. But Ethel did not share this cheer
fulness. She admired the sultan spite of
his silly airs, and she would have preferred
TO go without any Thanksgiving dinner
and TO have dispensed with her uncle's
visit rather than have the proud white
turkey killed
She was practical little girl, in spite OF
her sympathy for the sultan, and she could
sec the necessity of sacrificing hiIn 10 the
feast. Her mother was poor, ind unable
20 buy one of the turkeys which decorated
the butcher shops. Besides, the older the
sultan grew the less palatabe he would be-

A DOCTORS CONFESSION.
He Doesn't Take MHcs Medicine
and Advises the Reporter Not to.

"Humbug? or course II is. The
so-called science OF medicine is a hum

Hippocraies to the present Why the
biggest crank in the Indian tribes is

Very frank was the admission,
especially when it came from one OF
the biggest young physicians of the
city, one whose practice is among the
thousands, though he has been gra du-
sted but a few years, " says the Buffalo
Courier. Every cozy was his office

Queen Anne furniture, and its many
lounges and easy chairs. He stirred
the fire lazily. lighted fresh cigar,
and went on"

''How does doctor know the effect

Only way to judge would be TO stand

eleven different prescriptions. This
shows how much science there lie in

There are local diseases Of various
characters for which nature pro
Vides positive remedies. They
may not be included in the regular

their simplicity, bat tho evidence OF
theircurative power is beyond dispute.

The Number Three.

There is much superstitious regard
for the number three in the popular
mind, and the third repetition of any
thing is generally looked upon as
crisis. Thus, an article may twice be
lost and recovered, but the third time
that 1t Is lost II is gone for good. Twice
man may pass through some great
danger in safety. but the third time he
loses his life. II, however the mystic
third can be successfully passed, all 70

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
