NV skates. l need some exercise to
get up an appetite for that Thanks
giving dinner we are to have at home.
If you'll wait for me, I'll put on your
skates for YOU"
"Oh; thank you, but they go on quite
easily. There's Belle Parker l guess
I'll go with her."
Archie's first advance had met de-
cided repulse. He turned on his heel
and went after his skates His next
attack, he felt confident, would be
more successful, for he was famous
skater.
The great millpond rosounded with
the ring of countless steel-shod feet
Bright faces and happy voices were
there in profusion. Never had the
skating been better, the weather hner
or the crowd larger.
Diamond sparks, cut by keen, swift
knives, glistened in the sun as skates
fled past. Shouts from youngsters
PLAYING some exciting game, shrieks
and merry laughter from groups OF be-
ginners, gay comments from their
more independent companions the
low. musical detonation of the frozen
feld-all went to make up scene de-
lightful and inspiring. 1t was me-
and life in it's most favorable aspect
n combination of health, happiness
and action. A.,
When Archie Hendricks reached the
pond he found Keith Walters putting
on Irma's skates.
Archie was jealous,
Bclle Parker at once became the
Hattered object of his attentions ana
he devoted himself to her, although she
was but mediocre skater
Irma was both daring and accom-
nlisbed in the art, and she was the OBJ
iect of many compliments and unlver
sal admiration from the onlookers.

To their great delight it proved to be

Hal Anderson, as he took long slide,
both arms extended.

can't make us believe that you would

boy.

ally. anyhow, I'm coming down
right after breakfast, and if you fell
lows will all come, too, we'll have a
game of prison goal What do you
say?"
"We'll be here" was the universal
reply, and away went the boys to eat
breakfast and spread the good news
that there was skating on the pond.
Jack impaired the news at the
breakfast table, whereat his sister
Irma, aged eighteen and very pretty,
clapped her hands and exclaimed:
'Oh, jolly! I'm SO glad had my
skates sharpened last week. Every
body will be out, either skating or
looking on, and we'll all come home
with such appetites! I just know that
Jack will eat all that chicken pie that
made"
"rll leave a piece of the crust for
you, Irma," said Jack. I'm going
down to the pond right after break

"Oh. l suppose I'll have to go to
church and help sustain the family
reputation, Jack Dayton. OF course
fourteen-year old boys don't know any
thing about such responsibilities. But !
wonder if could carry my skates to
church with me? l guess l can hide
them under my cloak"
"Or put 'em on and skate up the
aisle with 'em," Jack irreverently sug-
gested. Irma deigned not to notice
this fling, but continued:
II do hope Mr.. Miller will preach a
dreadfully short sermon. That will be
one thing to be thankful for"
"Well, you'd better skip church ana
come out for a game with the boys"
"Mr. Dayton, I'm young lady, II

The Walters and Dayton families
had long been on the best of terms, so
lrma felt free to greet Keith very
cordially at the close of the service.
college seems to agree with you,
Keith said lrlna, after the first greet
ing was over.
Indeed it does--especially the jun
ior work. Oh, lrma, you ought to be
a college girl-you'll never know what
fun is until you are
"Oh. pshaw, Keith! I'm going to
have some fun this very day See my
skates?' And Irma disclosed them
underneath her cloak I'm going
out to the millpond. Won't you come,
too?"
Delighted! Only l must go home

Eyes, my boy-but don't venture

Irma will only take care of me-" said
Keith gayly.
He left Irma at the church door,
after securing from her the promise Of
The first skate.
Eyes, if you'll hurry" said Irma.
Then turning, she saw Archie Hem
bricks at her elbow. She bowed
calmly, but her brothers taunt of the
morning still tingled in her ears. and
she was not inclined to be as gracious
as usual to her old friend.
Archie Hendricks was a sterling
youth-physically, morally and finan.
cially. He was junior partner in the
firm of Hendricks & Son, iron found
ers. Many doting Marysville mother
had him in her mind as a prospective
son-in-law. By nature reserved, he
seldom courted the society of the
gentler sex, and, although he was a
frequent caller at the Dayton home
stead, he never paid marked attention
to Irma. However, Irma's secret ad-
miration for him was great, and Archie,
from admiring her beauty and unaf-
feeted brightness, was drifting into a
deeper feeling, which he apparently
did not care to check.
The cordial greeting between Keith
and Irma had nettled Archie, he knew
not why. So his manner was cool
when he lifted his hat and said
"Off to the pond?"
"Yes; they say the skating is splen.

fancies of the skater, and he found
lrma an apt scholar.
They crossed the ponl with the

ner. They "cut the grapevine" trellis
and all; they skated alternately back
ward and forward, but the admiration
of the spectators knew no bounds when
the graceful pair "did the Mercury"
that difficult figure that must be done
well if done at all.
Archie soon found excuse for relin-
gushing Belle Parker, who was not
his ideal of skater belle. The only
girl he cared to skate with was mo-
nopolized by Keith Walters
Archie was aggravated
Once lrma separated from her part
ner and skated to the other side of the
pond. Archie was about to follow,
when her brother Jack took her in hand,
and Archie's hopes again were blasted.
Archie's mental thermometer now
registered one hundred in the shade.
He skated fiercely. He performed
marvels, He entered q game of tag"
and led the entire horde of boys an ex-
citing chase before he allowed himself
to be caught
His flashing steel was never quiet.
Now it was the "back roll," now the
"outer edge" He cut wonderful de-
vices upon the icy slate, and then ac-
knowledged them by signing his name
with mighty flourish, which SO awed
the younger boys that they forgot to
skate.
Then he wandered off to deserted
part of the pond to brood upon his
misery.
Keith and Irma, tired OF admira-
tion, had skated up the frozen stream
and away from the crowd.
isn't this great fun?' said Keith.
"It's just too splendid for anything"
responded Irma, who was wishing,
nevertheless, that Archie would ask
her to skate. Why was he SO stub
born?
"Irma, can you keep secret?" said
Keith.
"Try me-"
"Well-I'm engaged"
"Keith Walters, you don't mean it,"
eyes do But you're the first one
I've told"
."Oh! Tell me all about it, quick! I'm
dying to hear!"
"Well, she's college girl-one Of
my classmates-a lovely girl. wish
you knew her. We are keeping quiet
The Van Buren press., 1894-11-24

about it while we are in college, you
know"
"What is she like? and what's her
name? and where is she from? and
when will you be married? and who"
"Oh, one at time, now, Irma! You
are as bad as a college examination.
Let me see-she has light, wavy
hair"
"And blue eyes?"
"No-brown."
"And soft complexion?"
"Peaches and cream"
sand pretty nose9"
"Truly Greek"
"Tall or short?"
"Just the right SIZE"
But you haven't told me her name
yet"
"Her name is Nellie-Nellie Gray,
but expect that inside of two years it
will be Mrs. Keith Walters"
Suddenly the skaters noticed that
the ice around them was weak. 1t be-
gan to bend and crack.
"We must get away from this" said
Keith.
They turned around. That half-stop
was fatal. The ice gave way and as
Keith pushed Irma from him he went
down into the water.
Irma screamed. She turned back
toward Keith.
Don't come near me! The ice will
l.ool, ,,,itb vo,,i. he shOutpd.
Then he tried to get out. The ice
broke wherever he leaned his weight
upon it.
Irma took off her long fur boa and
threw one end to him. He caught it
and it sustained him.
Call for help, Irma!"
Keith was deathly pale and the
water was chilling him through.
Irma called again.

HERE AND THERE.

Fresh, pure water in abundance Is
necessity for milch cows If you would
have good milk.
Give your hogs access to as much
green pasturage as possible.
Rye is one of the best crops .
farmer can plant for winter and spring
pasturage.
Give your fattening hogs dose Of
salt and hardwood ashes once a week
with their feed.
AS soon as the rush of cotton pick
ing is over spend n week OF two in re-
pairing your fences and buildings.
Give your horse his principal feed
at night. He then has time to eat leis-
urely and digest thoroughly what he
eats.
Gull out your poor cows-fatten
them for beef, get rid of them--and
breed from only the best ones. 1t don't
pay to raise scrubs.
Don't neglect sailing your stock.
1t is as necessary for their health as
for yours. Keep lot of rock salt
where they can lick it at will.
To develop good heavy beeves, you
must take care of your cattle from the
time they are calved. You can never
make much out of stunted calf
The government reports show an
increase in the exports of agricultural
implements, being S5,0e7,s ,sas in 1894,
compared with "a, 4,657,2S2 in 1898.
Too many farmers are negligent
about their straw stacks. Good wheat
or oat straw is we'll worth all the labor
it costs to put it up in waterproof
stacks or ricks.
"A farmer who has tried it speaks in
the highest praise of gas tar for paint
ing wagon wheels, stating that it tight
ems wagon tires and spolzes better than
anything else that can be tried.
Free exercise and varied diet will
give to the hogs the streak of fat and
the streak of lean now so much desired.
They will be especially happy over q
diet of vegetables, waste fruits, skin-
milk and bran.
1t pays to have good roofs on all
your buildings. Good shelter for stock,
farming implements and harvested
crops is as necessary as the raising and
gathering of your produce. See that
your roofs don't leak.
AT the bottom of scrub farming and
the tenacious adherence TO scrub stock
will be generally found scrub educa-
ton. The days when this defect in a
nations economy can be tolerated are
rapidly passing away.

Our National Thanksgiving Day.

The national observance of Thanks
giving day was brought about by a
woman. Mrs. Sarah j. Hale, of Phila-
delphia, began about 1874 to urge,
through the magazine of which she
had charge, and by personal corre-
spondence with the governors of
states and with presidents Of the
United States, that Thanksgiving day
should be made a national festival,
and be held on the same day through
out the country. Her suggestion was
adopted twenty years later by Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the observance OF
Thanksgiving by the nation has now
become blished.-United Presby-
terinn.

In the youth of the nation,
When the harvest had yielded its store
There was feast and oblation.
!. d y h,ssassass;r had lifted its hand,
From the lips Of the living
There rang through the length Of the land
Thanksgiving Thanksgiving!
Our home was wilderness then
With the FOCUS 10 enfoid it,
To-day with its millions of men,
We rejoice to beholdit.
From the sea to the surge OF the sea,
We have all fora treasure;
We are blest in the promised to-be
In manifold measure
War faunts not red pennon now.
For the olive is regal;
Like birds that are twin on one bough
Sit the dove and the eagle.
The clash of the conflict that cleft
We in sorrow remember,
But the fire OF the great feud has left
In the ash scarce On ember.
For the fruit OF the time Of our toll,
For whate'er we have fought for;
Whether born Of the brain or the soil
BE the need we have sought for;
For the gifts we have had from His hand
Who is Lord Of all living
Let there ring through the length of the land
