fhSg0vefnof's proclamation in cold type,
and it reads Nov. TO- Does the govern
ors proclamation count for anything,
or is it merely Q vain ceremony-an
empty formalityT
Before any one could speak hollow
groan was heard. It came In all its
Intensity from the lips Of the editor Of
The Gazette. He was reclining upon q
lounge, breathing with difficulty. Tho
doctor rushed to his rescue with q case
Of surgical instruments, but the editor
waved him away and moaned:
"Oh, what a misfortune! A Madison
upon that bilious, blear eyed foreman
of mine! To think that all this should
come of allowing him to read q proof
Mr.. Wardwel1, and all of you" he said,
rising to his feet, 1--WE are the victims Of
q scrawny printer whom intrusted
with the governors proclamation and
the reading Of the proof. He placed the
figures go where 'a6' should have been.
Mr.. Wardwell made all tho prepara-
lions on the goth, and we, who probably
never read the proclamation, arranged
10 visit him On the Goth. I can only say
that as the editor Of The Gazette will
discharge the printer without a recon-
rnendation, and that as man who has
blood In his veins IN either punch his
head or perish in the attempt" !!
When the editors explanation was
concluded there was an era of silence.
Then Mr.. Wardwen turned to his wife
with CHASTITY smile and said:
"Rachel, Is there anything to eat IN
the housed"
Scarcely thing"
Ladies' and gentlemen, will you IS
sist me in devouring such remnants OF
groceries as Mrs. Wardwell can consoli-
date into a dinner?'
"Mr. Wardwen," said tho doctor, with
emotion, "a bowl Of water, with D crust
of bread, would be a feast in your home.
The flow of intellect, sir-the Aow Of
reason, as It were, Mr.. Wardwell-the
intercourse of kindred minds atone for
all deficiencies in the material-aw-er-
in short, Mr.. Wardwell, anything viii do
for dinner, and wen be doubly thank
full today that the slight cloud which
6arkened the horizon as we came in
has given place to the sunshine of-er-
10 the sunshine, Mr.. Wardwell."

b weeks of lying In the cellar. And
The small boy-how he does enjoy this
season! These are tho days when he
''slips of at afternoon recess" gives the
school house the "cold shake" and hur-
ries to tho south woods, there to gather
the big green walnuts In piles; pounds
tho soft hulls off and picks out the nuts,
pausing occasionally to crush one with
. convenient stone for Immediate con-
sumption. His lips are stained; his
hands are dyed and dull brown; he
knows cit will never come off till it
wears off," and that the chances are
even that he will get whaled, but still
he does it as he did it last year, and as
he will do it again. We all did it.
It is the day before Thanksgiving-a
glorious, golden, sunshiny and stimulat-
ing day--and the old farmyard is full Of
life. Red Pete, as we call last years
gobbler, is strutting about in the glory
Of freshly attained adult gobblerhood,
as proud and important as if he were
directing the proceedings. He is in a
sense, though he little imagines the
sense. "Our riot dooms him to bleed to
day." as Pope says, but not having our
reason he can look on in the happiness
of ignorance. The chorping block,
staked fast for the convenience of cut
ting kindling, is before his eyes, and just
beyond the ak is on the grindstone, but
he little imagines that it all has any ref
erence to him; that he is the central
figure in the coming proceedings. Heis
lovely in life, and in death he will be
divided, the preacher and the poor get
ting their share.
The wife and mother takes stock of
ducks and chickens, but talks OF the So
cial features. Will the boys get home
from Asbury university? They will, fo,
the "spondulix," as college boys in
those days called the remittance, was
sent in time, and even now the younger
brother has gone to the country depot to
fetch them home in the old farm wagon.
Thanksgiving morning-the light break
fast is soon dispatched, for that is a
small affair on such day. There is a
general brushing up, and all are off to
the country church. The preacher and
his wife return with the family, and
about o'clock the great event of tho
day is on. .....
All are there-the two boys from
college, the hired man and one or two
cousins, the oldest girl of the family and
the rosy checked farmer she married a
year Or so before. The baby is laid on
the bed in the nearest room, and there is
always at least one little girl so fond of
children that she volunteers to watch
him. The happy group is seated, the
preacher has his devotional say and &C
tual business begins. Red Pete shines
once more, in culinary beauty this time,
but it is positively his last appearance on
these shores. And then the long after
noon Of social chat and innocent merri-
ment, and the evening in which the
young people take possession of the
house! Such was Thanksgiving in the
good old times, such for the most part
IL still is, and such may 1t long continus
to be. 5s@. ,H..,..E. 4i s". Woo.

nable, so that the ladies laughed until
they cried. And tho musician fairly
surpassed himself in singing that touch
ing ballad of his own composition,
"When Mary to the Dentist Goes"
which is now of world wide celebrity;
and the professor discoursed SO admire
bly, of the foibles and idiosyncrasies Of
the second Ramesis that no was voted
the most interesting speaker who ever
enlivened Thanksgiving party; and
the editor of The Gazette recited his
famous article with unusual fervor, SO
that some of the ladies wept again.
The dinner lasted two hours, and
when it was over there was heard q
ring at the doorbell, and who should
have done the ringing but the foreman
of The Gazette, whose doom had been
pronounced. He had come to call the
editor away on important business, and
1t was quite affecting to see that able
man embrace his subordinate and say: !
"Your wages are raised two dollars .
week. By one of your blrnders you
caused Mr.. Wardwell's dinner to be q
misft, but there never was a nobler
dinner than have had today"

TIE COMING OF THE GUESTS.

For several days following that men,
orable fasco Of dinner Mr.. Wardwell
led the life Of q recluse. He was regu-
lar contributor to a great magazine, and
his articles all treated of travels in for
eign and unheard of countries. The fact
that his descriptions of the manners and
customs of the Hindoos and Bedouins
and Malays were singularly true to life
is all the more remarkable because he
had never been away from his native
village, and month or two after the
date Of this story he received a personal
letter from the editor Of the magazine
complimenting him upon his realistic
description Of the burning and eating of
European traveller by cannibal. He
wrote this story during the sad days fol-
lowing the wrecked dinner.

A RURAL THANKSGIVING.

'SThe past rises before me like q
dream" as Bob Ingersoll said. We are
back in the good old times before the
war, in the middle section Of the Wa
bash valley. The glorious, mellow, yell
low, late autumnal days have come. In
dian summer is past, it is true, but its
aroma still fingers on the brown mead
0ws and in the gloriously varicolored
woods. At least one year in three we
have slate springs and late falls" as the
farmers say, and this is one of the years.
The frost is on the pumpkin, bit lightly
as yet, and the fodder is in the shock,
though the cattle still browse little
and are fattening in the stalk fields, from
which the yellow corn has just been
gathered.
''This IL the time Of year when every
thing tastes good" the boys say. "This
Is the season when the game is at its
best, !" say the hunters. "And this is the
season when our bones hurt us the least, "
J the old folks say. The milk is cool and
fich. All the vegetables are at their
best, perfectly ripe, but not yet withered

CHAPTER l.
THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
"Jim," said the editor of The Gazette
to the blond foreman, "here's the gov
ernor's Thanksgiving proclamation. Can
you run it in todayT'
II reckon"
Cali right; don't know of anything
that would be more interesting reading
to me. And why? Because I understand
Mr.. Wardwell will invite some friends
to dinner on Thanksgiving, and l tell
you, James, there's no man now living
can arrange such repast as the urbane,
genial and accomplished Theophilus
Wardwell; his dinners are songs with.
out words; they beat the dreams of pro.
fessional lotus eaters, and his Thanks
giving dinner will be revelation in
roast turkey and a symphony in pump
kin pie"
81 s'pose you'll be therer
eff I'm not it'll be because this poor,
isping, stammering tongue lies silent in
the grave. He always invites the same
people, and am one of them. When
he reads the governors proclamation he
will sit down and write invitations to
his chosen friends, and the chosen
friends will look forward to the day with
longing"

bcme beautiful thoughts regarding
Thanksgiving are embodied in the so.-
lowing paragraph published by Harper,s
Bazaar some time ago: when the heart
is sorest, grief the bitterest, loss the
most extreme, the giving of thanks brings
a relief to the spirit like that of rain to
the thirsty earth. To give thanks to
heaven that we have had the lost ia
love, that they are ours, since we love
them still and we cannot love what IL
not; to give thanks that they ever ex-
listed, that we knew them and had 70 do
with them, that we had pride and low IN
them-to do this is to put ourselves into
such close connection and Conversation
with the all giving power as to receive q
new JOY almost as precious as the old.
1t is like the breaking Of sacramental
bread still with the beloved; It Is sbar-
ing with heaven still their possession.
It is lifting the whole being to the sn;r-
itual plane where the beloved are n il
without meaning 1t, without knowing
1t, saying THY will be done.' n e ers.
tering into the close intimacy Of that
power dark with excessive brightness.
It makes heavenly joys real, and ain but
seneWs and reviyidsa the earthly. y

CHAPTER II.

A BANQUET HALL DESERTED.
/ The stateliest turkey that ever in
hailed the pure air of freedom was ready
for the teeth of the hungry. The noblest
pumpkin that ever grew on vine undera
benevolently smiling sun had been re-
duced to pies, and was also ready for
the famished, and the board fairly
groaned with the other sundries which
constitute a thoroughly appropriate
Thanksgiving dinner, but the host, the
master Of all the splendor, the designer.
Of the elaborate feast, was not happy. :
! There was sorrow In the heart of
Theophilus Wardwell. Sorrow and
anxiety and wonder had absolute con-
troll of him, and his wife was weeping
in the shadows, and the dining room
was filed with gloom. The dinner
hour had passed and the invited guests
had not arrived. The remorseless clock
on the wall kept measuring of seconds
with memorable regularity, and still
there came no ring at the doorbell. -
"Rachel," said Mr.. ,Wardwell to his
sobbing wife; "rl wait just ten minutes
longer, and then Il our friends do not
come Well eat all we can and give the
balance of this feast to the poor or send
1t to the heather. It Is q sorrowful old
Thanksgiving day for Us. We expected
q feast of reason and flow of soul, and
have only waste Of loneliness and woe.
I don't understand it.

Thanksgiving in India.

The native servants Of India are said
to'be courteous in the extreme, and when
they learn Of any particular festival
which their masters desire to observe
they always make it a point to offer
their congratulations, accompanied BY
presents of flowers, fruits and sweets
tastefully arranged in fantastic baskets.
They know all about Christmas and
New Year, but it was the United States
consul at Calcutta who first enlightened
them regarding Thanksgiving. There
after the diplomat and his successors as
well have been appropriately honored
on the yankee holiday" ,

"Do YOU WANT TO READ THE PROOF
Il guess not, Jim; look it over your
self"
And it was by this delegation of one
of his important functions to subordi-
nate that the editor of The Gazette filed
one home with woe and created the
chaos which made this narrative possible.
