to himself, the efforts to change, the ever
succeeding failure surged up before him,
and his lip curled in contemptuous scorn
of himself Never did a man hold himself
up to more merciless scrutiny, more in,

In his abstraction he nearly fell upon a

And such a window The light of mel
low globes flooded it. 1t was deeked with
holiday greens. In the center, ON plat

and crisp, roasted pig, with the reddest
of apples in its mouth. On each side a
fair, fat turkey, dressed for the oven, lay
in state. Lobsters, In their scarlet coats,
brown quail with heads tucked under
their wings to swell ont the pitiful little
breasts, and divers other resources and
accessories of the culinary art lent color
and suggestiveness to the tableau.

The Crownine of the Year,

This is the festival which the Pilgrim
fathers inaugurated, which New England
has annually celebrated for two centuries,
and which the nation has adopted and
sanctioned as a day of public thanksgiy-
ing to God. Ii exalts the home and
strengthens its sacred and tender ties.
1t brightens the shadows which have
gathered over IL. 1t dignifes prosperity.
It prompts men to reach out helpful
hands to their less fortunate neighbors.
1t reminds us afresh from whence every
good gift comes. II 1t seemed good to
our fathers in the midst of the hardships
of this new world to give public thanks
to God for blessings, how much more
reason have we to follow their example 7
Abundance of food and clothing, happy
homes, a free country at peace with all
nations and extending its influence
throughout the world, with maryelously
multiplied appliances for use and pleas
ure which surpass the widest dreams
of those who first were moved to set
apart a day of public thanksgiving and
praise, are ours. What shall | render un-
to the Lord for all His benefits toward

call upon the name of the Lord

brilliants. The particles stung his face
like elin arrows. His features were
tense and rigid His eyes were hot and
dry and his head ached with a dull, in
sistent, maddening pain, He passed the
colored globes of drug store and opped.
Red, violet, and green the shafts of light
pierced the dark. The people about him
seemed shadows, the sound of their voices
leagues away. Dimly he remembered a
prescription for an opiate he had used for
headaches like that. Fumbling In his
pockets he found the paper and entered
the store.
Make twice the number of powders -
he said to the clerk. Il don't want to
bother getting the stuff so often"
The clerk hesitated.
Nonsense" said the man. I'm per
fectly familiar with the use of IT, Give
me one Of them now with a glass of
water
Then he went into the street again with
the packet of powders in his pocket, and
already the mere taking of the drug had
somewhat soothed him. He felt hushed
his mind seemed to clear and lift itself
into curious, impersonal attitude. As
he walked he found himself quite willing
to contemplate calmly the sodden pain at
his heart, the utter hopelessness and use.

ODE TO A ooBBLER.

All hail! all hail! oh. rare and antique bird
That lately on the venerable tree,
Rolled In ball OF sleep, the chill winds
heard
Moaning In mournful gusts thine elegyl
No more the sun will GID they red cravat,
Or ripple on thy wing;
For time hath caught thee, even as the cat
Catches the gray and agile whiskered rat;
And now thy praise we sing,
Gathered upon the board, serene and gay,
Upon Thanksgiving Day.
With JOY we see thee lying on thy back,
Thy chaste. lush drumsticks sticking In
the air;
Thy wings In sweet peace folded. and, alack.
The incense of thy stuffing, pungent, rare,
Filling our souls with heavenly melody.
The while with fork and knife
Thy dark meat and thy white meat fondly we
Suffuse with gravy In our revelry,
And then, with pleasure rife,
Each dainty morsel neatly tuck away
Upon Thanksgiving Day.
Thou'rt nobler than the cnnvasback or goose,
The lordly shanghai or the ortolan,
Or any other minstrel that Is loose
From Tuscaloosa to Cape Mary Ann.
Compared with thee the woodcock is a mere
Deluslon-ail In all;
The upland plover ne'er can be thy peer
Beside thee to the epicure and seer
The prairie hen Is small;
Thou art the bird Of freedom, anyway,
Upon Thanksgiving Day.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN EUROPE.


Baked Beans, Giaee, and "Bouukin
Pie a PAmer icaine,"
A few years ago one of the diplomatic
corps in Paris complimented some Amer
ican visitors by giving Thanksgiving
dinner He made some elaborate re-
searches regarding our national customs
as applied to the day and with help OF his
chef offered among other things baked
beans, well thinned with custard and
frozen. The crowning glory of the feast
was pumpkin pie. Its crust was shing-
ly puff paste fully an inch thick. The
pumpkin was merely a filmy glaze upon
the paste, with taffy-like consistency
that made it cling to the eaters teeth.
The chef must have impaired the secret
to the national pie, at least in part, to
others of his craft, for a little later 4
well-known restaurateur announced on
little placard at his establishment:
"Bounkin Pie la Americaine."
In Berlin the traveller will find, If he is
there in November, an addition to the
menu of some places of refreshment. The
addition is fiourishing announcement to
Americans that Indian puddings. bean

cies, which the waiter will affably say
are for the American thanksgiving" but
which only resemble the originals they

little preliminary boast of the success

vegetable, presented his guests with tiny
Immature cobs an inch and a half long
boiled till tender and served like aspara-
gus tips with rich cream dressing. An
American present found it difficult to
maintain circumspect gravity when the
hostess asked him IL it was true that in
America this corn was always eaten with
the fingers, for in view of the dripping
ears she was daintilys lifting, one at a
time, upon her fork, he had to assure hei

Children" his own voice sounded re-
mote and discovered from his, good
night. Have you had good dinner?'
The voeiferous assent recalled his stray
ing fancies. He saw his guests multi
piled as in room walled with mirrors.
Being of unceremonious habit, they
stood uot upon the order of their going
and soon were gone. As the little news
boy slid down from his chair the man laid
hand on the ehild's tangled head and
gazed IN his face with look of yearning
tenderness. The boy looked startled and
hurried away.

to the waiter as he laid bill on the cash
ier's tray. He uttered his words with hes
itating precision.

laughed aloud
The waiter smiled complaisantly; the tip
was large enough to cover many eeen-
tricities.
Nearly an hour later he cautiously open
ed the door and peeped in.

ically. There was no response, and he
went swiftly to the averted chair On the
table the cigars were untouched; one
glass of brandy had been taken from the
bottle; several sma.. white paper wrap

glass In the chair, with his hands still
holding the paper and his head against

The man touched her hand reassuringly
and turned to his left, where sat the little
newsboy. Long and steadily he looked
into the childs face.
"He, too, had blue eyes" he murmured,
with catch of the breath as for brief
instant his own eyeids closed and he bit
his lip.
At last, when each child had eaten two
pieces of pie, even to the last crumb, the
man rose to his feet, clutching at his chair
for support. He brushed his hand across
his eyes. Strange lights danced before
him, crimson and gold; the air was popu
