There are many people who regard
Thanksgiving day as meaningless
day, and It's celebration once year
waste of time and q mockery. 1t might
have been, they go on 10 say. day OF
reality 10 those who in early colonial :
times had hostile tribes, inclement
weather and threatened starvation to
fight. and whose natures were wrought
upon 10 all their depths OF fear and
gratitude. But for us in these days OF
no national crises. in these days OF
money-getting and materialism, n
Thanksgiving day means only n day in
which. oftener thnn not, observances
are \ bore.
Yet for all that, and in spite OF what
the croalScrs say. year after year in
every home in town and county some
glad preparation for IL is made. Feasts
are prepared. Welcome stands ready.
To the returning wanderer arms are
outstretched; TO the homeless way
farcr the hand Is extended. Cost OF
labor and pain OF preparation are for
gotten in the Joy OF reunion. All the
year that has gone has been with many
but as vista looking toward il. For
them all the year to follow shines as
new pathway leading to tho same
bright end.
No New Highlander, close pressed as
he may be, stays willingly away from
the family gathering on that day. Rich
and poor alike are stirred by one com
mon impulse-to go home. One man
may want to feel once more the COM
fort OF an old familiar chair that no
change Of fashion has moved from it's
ong-accustomed place. Another wants
the sense Of pcacefulncss that belongs
TO n certain sunny window with ger
aniums in IL when oil the world with
out IL quiet and stiffness reigns within.
Somewant the nursery. with its tnttered
books, and some the associations OF
old sounds, as the clicking OF the gate
or the hurrying footsteps up the stair.
| Some want the friends OF childhood;
and back OF all. and through all, and
over all. each and every one wants the
finding again OF the mother. the face
and the voice and the touch Of her-of
her whose love has never faltered,
whose sympathy has never failed. who
welcomes them without reproach, who
reioices In them without envy. who is
proud OF their success without measure

ideal of them undimmed. and yet who
will minister TO them the livelong day

stay with her by the half hour.
Then the chicks came out OF their
shells. Don was intensely interested.
All day long he scarcely left the barn.
The next morning, when the hen
stepped off the nest and with cluck
called her brood after her, Don fol-
lowed.
The hen fell to scratching, and tho
fluffy chicks darted hither and thither,
picking up the titbits which the mother
had uncovered.
"Goodl" said Don - himself; II can
help I'm this business" aud TO the terror
OF the chickens he ran In among them
and began turning up the Noil at a lively
rate Then he sat down and waited.
The mother hen called back the chicks

they picked it clean. Then the dog took

proceeded, TO the great delight of all

so quietly about her self-imposed tasks
that IL really seemed painful to wit

and cross, until the past year marked

seemed more tender. Perhaps, because
his beautiful and patient little wife APP
