con Franklin Dearborn died nj his home
Feb. 6, aged 80 years. About three weeks
previous to his death he was taken i'll with
la grippe which settled in his head affect
ing one of his eyes resulting in an abscess
which caused death. He was born Nov.
10, 1861 and from his earliest years devel
oped taste for reading always selecting
that of high tone. Although not stu
ated so he could obtain a liberal educa
tion he improved every opportunity for
study and was a graduate Of the Chatau
guam course. He was successful teacher
for several years and at the time OF his
death was town Supt. of Schools. He
united with the Cong'l church in 1880 and
from that time was an ardent Christian

Sunday School where he was for
many years a teacher, but was also engag-
ed in mission work in the neighboring
school districts. He was one OF the prime
movers in starting the young peoples
meetings which have been productive of
great good. A young man OF genial ma
ture and kind heart he will be sadly miss
ed by both old and young in this place.
He leaves young wife to mourn his loss,

THANKSGIVING Roast Pig.

Take choice fat pig six weeks old,
not younger, though it may be little
older. Have it carefully killed and
dressed, and thoroughly washed. Trim
out carefully with sharp, narrow-blaied
knife the inside Of the mouth aud ears,
cit on; the tongue and chop off the cad
of the snout. Rub the pig well with
mixture Of salt, pepper aud pounded
sage, and sprinkle it rather literally with
red pepper, and dash outside, too.
Make rich stufling of bread crumbs
corn bread stuiliug Is de rigeur for
pig, though you can put half OF one and
half OF the other inside of Mr.. Piggy if
somebody insists on loaf bread stuilng.
IL you use corn bread, have n thick, rich
pone of bread baked. and crumble it as
soon as 1t is cool enough to handle, sea-
son it highly with black aud red pepper,
sage, thyme, savory marjoran, minced
onion--just enough to flavor it, and
plenty of fresh butter; moisten it well
with stock, cream, or even hot water.
Stuff the pig well and sew it up closely.
II you have attn rooster and open tire,
the pig will be roasted by that much
better. II you have not, put the pig in
a'long pan and set it in the oven, and
leave the stove door open until the pig
begins to cook, gradually closing the
poor, so that the cooking will not be
done too fast. The pig must be well
dredged with -four when put in the pan.
Mix some -four and butter together in
,lata and ahnnf N af hot
water in the pan with the pig when it is
put on the fire. Have lariing-mop in
the plate OF -four and butter, and mop
the pig frequently with the mixture
while it is roasting.
Ii roaster is used, set it about two
feet from the fire at first, but continue
to move it nearer aud nearer as the pig
cooks. Basic it frequently with the
water in the pan betweenwhiles of mop.
ping with flour and butter.
To be sure the pig is done, thrust
skewer through the thickest part OF him;
If no pink or reddish juice oozes out it
is done, and ought to be rich brown
all over. When the pig is done pour
the gravy in saucepan and cook it
sufficiently. This will not be necessary
il the pig was cooked in the stove oven.
The pigs liver may be boiled in well
salted water, pounded up, and added to
the gravy, which should be very savory
and plentiful.
The pig should be invariably served
with baked sweet potatoes and plenty of
good pickle aud sauce, either mushroom
or green pepper cat'np, for despite BIS
toothsomeness, roast pig is not very safe
eating without plenty OF red pecper.--
Good Housekeeper.

An elderly woman entered the room.
She had small, pale withcred face; a

The net fchu, crossed over her slender
shoulders, was clasped by an old-fash-

"To-morrow will be Thanksgiving

An originally handsome apartment,
this in which the old man sat, and it
had been handsomely furnished. Now
both the room and its belongings bore
the mark of creeping poverty, or ex-
treme pcnuriousness. The master of the
house, seated by the center table, seemed
to share the character of the room. He,
too, had been handsome once. Now
he was expressive only of age and in.
digencc, IRON the thrcadbare collar OF
his limp dressln s-gown to the tips OF nis
thin and shabby slippers.
"Prepare what2" he growled.

His housekeeper, for that was the un-

from the Atlantic.
"If you don't mind" said Mrs. Dotty,
making her appearance with shawl over
her head, "Pll just run over to Devers'
and see what Is keeping Miss Bessie"
"Dol" he answered.
She had spoken as IL the distance were
not worth considering, but IL was quite a
journey for her. When she returned she
looked white and scared.
"She isn't there hasn't been"
"Harkl" said Godfrey Kirke, holding
up one lean hand.
"That is only the carrier with the
-four"
"Ask him II he has seen herY"
Mrs. Dotty went into the hall. Almost
instantly she returned.
"He has not. He says there Is the
body Of young woman at the town
morgue."
"What"
Godfrey Kirlxe leaped from his chair.
'He says that the body of young girl
was found in the East Branch to-day"
Godfrey Kirke sank back in his seat.
Mrs. Dotty smiled hard little smile to
herself as she closed the door aud went
away. Sue knew how many friends
Bessie had. She shrcwdly suspected IL
she were not found at one place she
would be at another; and she was malici-
ously and pleasantly conscious that she
had given the hard. hearted old man a
genuine scare.
Long the latter sat where she had left
him. Thinking. For the first time In
years he was thinking, sadly. seriously,
soemnly. Than sgiving-evel Ia his

with the homely fragrance of good things
in the kitchen, so delightfully."- merry with
the brisk hustle attendant on the NOR
rows festivity. Now it was desolate,
dreary, darksome with depressing and
unutterable gloom. Whose fault was it2
Hisl decided Go ifrey Kirke, as savagely
relentless to himself in this moment as
he would have been to another. His
