First the pumpkins were cut in two
parts, about two-thirds from the base;
then both parts were scooped out, !eav-
ing the yellow rind about an inch in
thickness; then a green willow withe
OF switch was cut the right length and
put into the smallest part Of the divid-

Then the boys put thin coat of var

THANKSGIVING

The old-time honored custom OF max
Ing a festival at Thanksgiving, as, in
deed, at all other national holidays. is
simple, beautiful, right
No greater argument can be ad-
vanced in favor of these holidays than
that we continue zealously to keep
them up In letter II not in spirit.
When We think Of the terrible hard
ships the Puritans were constantly I'M
dergoing, and yet Of the feast which
they spread in the wilderness-when
We think Of their brave CHEEKY ways. Of
their courage that stopped at nothing,
and Of that first primeval Thanksgiv-
Ing dinner with its attendant praise
service and air Of hearty cheer, We can
not help regretting that little Of that
old-ume sentiment has not descended
to the present generation.
We who have everything to be thank
ful for are often thankful for little. We
who are surrounded by every comfort
are often as ungrateful as II we were
surrounded by none. II one does not
appreciate ones mercies, one may as
well have calamities, for what does
prosperity signify If one is not glad?
Let us then be truly, heartily glad for
the beautiful world that surrounds us,
for the books, the flowers, the pictures,
the music, the love Of kith and kin, the
lisping words Of children, the helpful
hands of friends-for all this and much
more which we receive with apparent
Indifference.

for the Thanksgiving tea.
On Thanksgiving eve, at eight p. m.
might have been seen torchlight pro-,
cession moving across the mea low
from Mr.. Emery's barn. and along the
lane that led to Widow Gray's cottage
at the other end of the village. And
this was the programme:
Two boys with Chinese lanterns; two
little Cinnamon bearing on pole be-,
tween them a real Chinese tea-chest
filled with tea and sugar; wheelbar-
row, alternately wheeled by Joe EN-
cry and Will Somerby. On each side Of
the barrow two pumpkins containing
pies, doughnuts, etc. One pumpkin in
front with celery and cranberries;
large oval pumpkin in the center with
turkey, decorated with laurel sprlgs:
spaces filled up with white potatoes and
sweet potatoes; at the head Of the bar
row, on pole, little banner-"A
Thanksgiving greeting from the
friends OF Mrs. Gray"
Now, don't you think Joe Emery's
was a new and jolly pumpkin lark?"

Oh! Turkey with cranberry jelly!
Oh! Doughnuts and pudding and pie

Oh! Doughnuts and pudding and piel
II there is ever time when we want
our turkey to be tender and juicy, It Is
for the Thanksgiving dinner. 1t is not
every housekeeper who knows how to
select turkey, though it is not dim
cult matter. The best turkeys have
smooth, black legs with soft, loose
spurs, and are short and plump. The
end Of the breast bone should be soft
and flexible. The breasts are full, and
the flesh plump and white.
The cooking is fully as important a.
the selection, and the preparation for
1t should be carefully attended to.
A turkey is greatly improved by
drawing the sinews from the legs. This
converts the otherwise coarse and
tough flesh Of the drumstick into deli.
cate meat.
If you prefer to stuff your turkey,
place enough in slit of neck to NIL the
cavity made by removing the crop; Nil
the breast with the remainder and sew
firmly.

kitchen and a tiny bedroom that led
out of it. and there still remained the
best room and a bedroom, with the
low garnet overhead. There had been
q time, after she was left alone, when
Mrs. Rpbb could help those who were
poorer than herself. She owned pig
and was strong enough not only to do
n woman's work inside her house, but
also a mans work outside in her piece
Of garden ground. At last sickness and
age had come hand in hand, those two
relentless enemies Of the poor, and to-
Gether they had wasted her strength
and substance. She had always been
looked up to by her neighbors as be-
ing independent, but now she was left,
Iame-footed and lame-handed, with
debt to carry and her bare land. and
the house ill-provisioned to stand the
siege of time. For while she man
aged to get on, but at last 1t began to
be whispered about that 1t was no use
Tor any one to be so proud; 1t was cas-
fer for the whole town to care for her
than for a few neighbors, and she had
Setter go to the poorho-se before win
ter, and be done with 1t. At this ter
Yible suggestion her brave heart
seemed to stand still. The people
whom she cared most for happened to
be poor, and she could no longer 60
into their households to make herself Of
use. The very elms overhead seemed
to say mo" as they groaned In the late
autumn winds, and there was some
thing appealing even to strange pass
ers-by in the look of the little gray
house, with Mrs. Robb's pale, worried
face at the window.
Anniversaries are days to make other
people happy In, but sometimes when
they come they seem to be full of sha-
dows, and the power of giving joy to
others, that inalienable right which
ought to tighten the saddest heart, the
most Indifferent sympathy, sometimes
even this seems to be withdrawn. So
poor old Mary Ann Robb sat at he"
window on the afternoon before
Thanksgiving and felt herself to be
poor and sorrowful indeed. Across the
frozen road she looked eastward over

brown and windswept and crossed by

Loves Service.

Love always gives. Service has a
thousand forms, says the Christian
Herald. Sometimes 1t is poverty that
stands at our door and relief Is want
ed. More often 1t is not money nor
bread, but something more precious,
friendship, sympathy. Sorrow or lone
illness is before us. A mothers heart
is breaking. Money would be useless
1T would be mockery. But we can
hold to the neighbours lips a cup of the
wine of love, filled out of our own
heart, which will hearten the sufferer.
Or 1t Is the anguish Of life struggle,
a human Gethsemane, beside which we
are called to watch. We can give no
actual aid-the soul must fight its bat
ties alone but we can be as the angel
that ministered to our Lords Gethse-
name imparting strength and helping
the weary struggler to win the victory.
The world is very full Of sorrow and
trial, and we cannot live among our
fellow men and be true without sharing
their loads. If We are happy we must
hold the lamp of our happiness so that
It will fall upon the Swallowed heart.
II we have no burden, 1t is our duty to
put our shoulders under the load of
others. SelAshness must die or else
our own hearts life must be frozen
within US. We soon learn that we can
not live for ourselves and be Christ
ians; that the blessings that are sent
US are to be shared with others and
that we are only Gods almoners to
carry them in Christ's name to those
for whom they were intended.

1t doesn't take an earth
quake to lower prices with

than earthquakes helped do
this and the principal one
was the demand of the peo-
