THANKSGIVING PREPARATIONS.

AS the woods along November's hills age gently
through the haze
Which wells the Indian summer in the fading
autumn days,
And the good year fingers softly, ere his locks
are crowned with gray,
To hear the harvest blessings of a nation by
the way,
There's an air of invitation in the woods and
fields and skies
To get ready for Thanksgiving and its famous
pumpkin pies.
The president and governor have issued each
has call
To the people of this prosperous land to honor,
one and all,
The season when the barns are full the grana-
ries well stored,
When the farmers and the city folk all count
fattened horde,
ANA the housewife, town and country, with
Thanksgiving in her eyes,
Begins to think of turkey and old fashioned
pumpkin pies.
If 1t be true that there are some who think
they've naught to bless,
Who eat of sorrows crust and feel no cause for
thankfulness,
Whose purse is never filled at all, whose board
is always bare
Why, there must be a sympathy for them, too,
In the air.
And thankful twice will be those hearts where
PHYS fountains rise
And flow to help poor neighbors to Thanksgiv-
ing pumpkin pies.
The quail is calling lithely through the even
ing calm and still.
And the long roll of the pheasant's drum beats
family DER the hill;
The cheerful cider mill creaks out its own
melodious notes
And the chorus of Thanksgiving swells from
multitudes of throats;
Which it's why it's just as well for those who
are good as well as wise
10 think of folks who otherwise won't have
their pumpkin pies.

Thanksgiving day dawns upon the world
with an atmosphere of it's own. Old Sol
has memories of Thanksgiving times when
the family reunions were held at the old
homestead in the country. Snow was on
the ground in those days. That happened
before the Snow King and New England
had falling out. In those good old times
the grown people and the children, ever so
many children there were, climbed into
the old bob" sleigh among the buffalo
robes, and were driven miles and miles
over the snow covered country to the music
of the sleigh bells. Some of the grand
parents of today were the children then,
and they all remember it. There were
great log fires burning in the fireplaces of
the old homestead, and such dinner as
was only exceeded by the welcome they re-
celved. That was Thanksgiving in the
good old times.-New York Recorder.

Thanksgiving Mince Pies.

The mincemeat for the Thanksgiving
pies will have been prepared some time
ago. The pies themselves may be baked
week before the eventful day if need be.
Our grandmothers had theory that
mince pie to be prime should be baked sew
eral days before it is eaten, and freezing
was not thought to impair it's flavor in the
least. Pumpkin also may be stewed and
canned so as to be in readiness for the deep,
luscious pies whenever they are needed
To make pie which shall rival that to
which the Quaker poet has paid tribute
you may first line a deep pie plate with a
rich crust, having broad rim of crust at
the edge.
Now mix together one and one-half cup
fuls of stewed pumpkin that has been
pressed through a colander or sieve, one
half cupful of sugar, saltspoonful each
of ginger and cinnamon, half teaspoonful
of salt, half a teaspoonful of Vanilla two
eggs beaten light and little more than a
cupful of rich milk. Bake in quick
oven. Line plate in the same manner
for the cranberry tart and fill with stewed
berries from which the skins have been
strained. Decorate with twisted strips
and small disks and crescents of pastry, as
our grandmothers used to do. An old fash
ioned cranberry tart is seldom seen in
these days, and will be something of a
curiosity to the children.-Chicago News
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-11-24
The Puritan Thanksgiving.

Popular as Thanksgiving day now is
throughout the length and breadth of this
land, it is in New England that it still con-
tinues to be what it has been for more than
two centuries-the greatest and most ca
gerly anticipated holiday of the entire year.
The old Puritans and their descendants,
who so long frowned severely upon Christ
mas-which indeed many of the latter still
continue to do, refusing to it any recogni-
tion whatever-found an excellent substi-
tute for its cheerful hilarity, peace and
good will in Thanksgiving day.
For at least week before the important
occasion all was activity in an old fash
ioned, rural New England household. A
bushel or more of the best wheat was sent
to the mill to be converted into flour.
Great rounds of beef were chopped up into
mincemeat. Carloads of yellow pump
kins, with an abundance of milk, spices,
ginger, molasses and sugar were made up
into pumpkin pies. An abundance of
turkeys, chickens and geese were killed
and made ready for roasting A pair of
immense plum puddings were baked in
the largest sized earthen pots, with Indian
puddings and custard puddings to match,
while there was baking of pound cake,
plum cake and sponge cake from morning
till night.-Buffalo Express.
