When the war between China and
Japan commenced, many of the news
papers referred to the courage and
bravery of the Chinese soldiers, SAYING
that the Chinamun did not fear deuth
believing, us he did, that death was
only transition TO another world
where the Chinaman was sure of being
happy and that on account of this be-
lief they willingly faced death and
would fight against great odds rather
than retreat, but as the war progresses it
is discovered that the Chinamans saith
in the happiness of the world beyond il
not sufficient to keep him in line when
the bullets get thick. Japanese en-
gines OF death haye demonstrated that
the Chinaman Is badly stuck on his
logs,and makes better use OF them thar
he does of musket. In fact the
Chinese have shown themselves to be
arrant towards ard deserve the drub-
bing the progressive Japs are giving
them.

we're splendid, better than usual. 1t vas
the neatest job ever turned out in

Historic THANKSGIVING Pies.

Ever since the pie that held the four
and twenty blackbirds was celebrated
in song, there have been attempts to
render certain individual pies historic,
but it is mostly from old letters that
we learn of the achievements of our
foremothers in that line. Life was
too stern for many flights of fancy,
but the repressed poetry of their ma
lures sometimes took form in prepar-
ing Thanksgiving dinners.
One of these records tells Of a pie
made by some "merry wives and
eaten upon day of public rejoicing
and thanks "for victory granted by
our Lord to our men on the field" 1t
would be interesting to know in what
kind of dish the pie was baked, for
its diameter was eighteen inches. Its
sides were walled up high, and on it's
broad cover was built up curious
representation of fort attacked by
sayages.
In the first quarter of this fast
fading century, a colossal pie was
made for Thanksgiving by a Dutch
baker on one of the downtown streets
of New York. It is described as having
been baked in twelve triangular Sec
tions, each foot broad in the largest
part. The pieces were laid together
to form a circle and the joints were
covered by decorations of confection-
cry. This was pumpkin pie, and in
its luscious custardness was concealed
gold half-eagle. the prize of the
lucky purchaser who found it in his
piece. The prudent baker, after the
pie had been sufficiently admired, cut
it into even pieces at ten cents slice,
giving customers their choice of loca-
tion, but refusing to take out single
piece till the whole pie was bespoken.
A beautifully decorated pie was
presented to Washington's successor
by some actual Daughters of the Rev
olution. 1t was given prominent
position in the White House, and
kept on exhibition for several months.
If at the end of that time the Presi-
dent ate it, we must reverence the
memory of his good digestion.

it was quite two miles to Mrs. Peck
hams. 1t was terribly cold and John
turned up the collar of his rough coat
and chirruped to the horses. The
wheels creaked most musically over
the hard snow and the little figure
trudged sturdily along in the rear.
Billy's short legs could not keep pace
with the strides of the farmhorses and
he gradually fell behind. John looked
back at him with a scowl and started
the horses into a brisk trot. Before
many minutes turn in the road hid
the little fellow from sight.
Little fooll he'll soon get sick of
it," muttered John and thought no
more about the child.
At noon when he arrived home Billy
was not about. He had not seen him
on the way and decided that the little
fellow had become discouraged and
gone back again. But he was not
about the house, as he soon discov-
cred.
"Have you seen Billy?" asked his
step-mother, as John came IN to din
ner.
He growled out o negative and sat
down to the table. His father was al.
ready out hunting for the boy and
after putting the food on the table
Mrs. Brand threw q shawl over her
head and went outside, too. 1t was

the coming storm were in the air.

in after an unsuccessful search of the
premises. "Didn't you see him?"
'sNo, haven't seen the brat!' re-
sponded his son, surlily.

his iorner wife-those little things
which had become ss familiar to him
as the old house itself-had disap-
peared. Her picture which had been
taken in her bridal dress and had hung
over the high mantel in the parlor,
her work table, the "cricket," on
which her feet had rested during the
long evenings when she sat and sewed
or mended-all were gone and nothing
but heap of ashes and charred wood
in the great open fireplace was left.
Mr.. Brand had never taken John to
task for this. He felt somehow as
though he had no right to complain.
The things had been more Johns than
his, for John was the one who had re-
NAMED entirely faithful to the dead.
At first this new wife tried her best
to gain Johns favor; but the young
man repelled all her advances and
never spoke to her unless he was ab-
solutely obliged. In fact, he spoke to
no one unless forced to. He even
carried his clothing to an old lady in
the neighborhood to be mended,
rather than have Mrs. Brand touch his
garments.
The young wife did all she could to
win his love, but to no avail, and be-
fore year of her married life had
passed she had something else to think
of. A little baby came to the Brand
house that John foresaw would event
ually fill his place and possess his
rights. John had passively endured
the coming of the wife; he hated the
baby with an almost murderous
hatred.
He hoped that it would die, but
little Billy grew up strong, healthy
boy, never having seen an i'll day in
his short life. He was the child OF

Disasters to tho British Farmer.

Lord Winchilsea Is calling attention to the
series Of unparalleled disasters which have
overtaken the British farmer Of late years.
BE says something has to be done If the
greatest industry is to be saved from ex-
tinction. This something should take the
form OF generous support of the National
Agricultural Union, whose programme in
cludes the readjustment Of local ta1ation,I
the abolition of preferential railway rates for
foreign produce, the provision OF State-aided
pensions for workingmen, more stringent
legislation against fraud and adulteration,i
certain improvements in the agricultural
holdings act, and power to advance money
on approved security for the occasion Of
small holdings. They also aim at the estab-I
lighment of "produce post" which shall
bring the small grower OF fruit, vege-,
tables, poultry, eggs, etc., into direct rela-,,
tion with the consumer, and foster COM!
binations among British farmers similar to
those which have enabled foreigners to su-
persede them in their own markets by sup.
plying articles OF uniform appearance and
quality. His Lordship refers to recent sue
cessiul experiments in the way OF raising
sugar beetS.

by the anxious men who had been
driven back from the search some time
before by the gale.
He had a very dim recollection a
to how he got there. but some time
later he found himself lying on the old
settle in the chimney corner with his
father holding bowl of some hot de-
coction to his lips. He pushed it away
and looked across the hearth to where
his stepmother, fearful and smiling,
was holding little Billy in her arms.

lily.
"Yes. thanks to the Almighty and
to you, my son." replied his father
reverently, and John smiled.
It was late, indeed, but this was
John Brands Thanksgiving.
