Growing Older.

Thanksgiving days come and go. We
are growing older every year. Some OF
us have turned our faces toward the full
shining of the western sun. We have
beautiful memories of the old days of
our childhood, and the nearer days of
our maturer years. We love to sit in the
twilight and think of them. We marvel
at Gods wondrous grace, which en-
abled us to travel so safely and with so
few toll marks on our garments, when
we consider the danger of the shadowy
passes through which we have come.
We thank Him that He has brought us
out upon the beautiful table lands,
from whose heights we can catch
glimpses of the Beulah-land which lies
about the city Of our God.-Detroit
Free Press.

moment forbidden her to come again

Gambling In India.

Amongst the Hindoos throughout
the whole of India there is a holiday
celebration in honor of Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth and good fortune,
whereon gambling is universally re-
garded as religious duty. 1t is known
as the festival of lamps, and on that day
all classes indulge in games of chance
with shells, coins, cards, dice, ETC., and
the future of the individual, whether
good or bad, is looked upon as forecast
of his wealth or poverty during the en-
suing year. The women take most in.
tense interest in the proceedings and, if
fortunate. expend their winnings in
the purchase of sweet-meats and fruits,
as gifts to all their friends and rela-
tions, toys for the small children and
fireworks for the boys. At Benares,
their sacred city. as night approaches,
small earthen lamps. fed with oil. are
kindled, making the outlines of every
mansion, palace, temple and minaret
visible. All vessels in the river are also

one blaze of light.

HOW DOGS ARE STUNTED.
Methods Employed in the Manufacture Of
Toy Terriers.

Methods Employed in the Manufacture Of
Toy Terriers.
There is an era OF tiny dogs in Eng
lish society. The more diminutive O
parcel OF canine flesh that you can pos
sess the more are you swell, says tho
Toledo Blade. But, alas! How MANY
feminine readers who delight in the
miniature doggies know that they are
an artificial product.
There is in London an establishment
devoted entirely to the stunning of tho
animals. The proprietor Is an ex-
breeder of fighting dogs, but he now
finds more profit in rearing the lilipu-
tian CANNES, for which he has a wide
reputation. He does not claim to be the
originator of the process. for he says
that all dog men know of the dwarfnc
powers of alcohol, but he asserts that he
is the only man in London to adopt the
principle Systematically.
His method is as follows: The Dun

the pride and qualification of Farmer
Granville was without limit, who IN re-
turn tossed her toward the ceiling, and
allowed her to pull his whiskers and
cover his eyes to play "bopeep" as much
as she liked.
Thanksgiving was drawing SO near,
and the worry of hope deferred worked
Mrs. DR.. Wellman into severe head
ache, which lasted over the following
day. So recommending her to keep
quiet, and giving many instructions to
her servant, Mrs. Morton took the two
children with her to complete the ar
engagements for her neighbours Thanks
giving feast, where they were again in
stalled "chief in state and power"
AS she was about to take her depart
ure for home, while making the chill
dren ready, Farmer Granville asked
her to bring the mother to see them,
adding:
''She must be almost an angel to have
such lovely children"
THANK you; no doubt she will be
pleased to come" Mrs. Morton replied.
II will have some things at home to at
tend to tomorrow, being the day before
Thanksgiving, but we will be out walk
ing in the afternoon and will call on our
way home"
True to her promise, Mrs. Morton
called in the next day at Farmer Gran
ville's with the children and their
mother. The reader, no doubt, antic-
"a
took his daughter in his arms and
pressed her to his heart, weeping like a
child. Indeed, there were no dry eyes
among them, but all seemed to rally
sooner than he.
1t is needless to say that Aunty Nor
ton lost her visitors, for not step were
they allowed to depart from the Pa
ternal roof. And when DIR. Wellrnan
arrived in response to Mrs. Morton's in
vitation, to help eat the conventional
Thanksgiving turkey with her, he
found the invitation transferred to the
Granville homestead, where there were
| more heartfelt rejoicings than had been
known for the last six years. And no
one was happier than Aunty Morton as
she saw with what pride. Farmer Gran
vile introduced his children and grand
children to the assembled guests, and as
the festivities ended she joined in sing
ing that grand old hymn:
Praise to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days."
adding to herself:

time immemorial at the Granville home
stead. Mrs. Granville was urging its
discontinuance the present year on ac-
count of her health having failed SO
signally as to render her unable to
superintend the necessary prepare
tions. Farmer Granville was unwilling
to forsake the old-time custom even
for one year, and now that Mrs. Nor
ton had come in the idea at once pre-
sented itself to secure her services to
fill his wife's place, in which the dear
soul cheerfully acquiesced, not doubt
ing but that this was an opening for her
in the prosecution of her plan of recon
Citation.
There was much work to be done; for
out-of-the-way inches were to be con-
verified into bedrooms, and blanket
closets were to be looked through and
renovated, and the pantry and larder
to be replenished, all of which Aunty
Morton entered into with spirit and
impressment. Several hours each day
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1896-11-18

this task Of love was performed. Her
assistance was timely and her presence
an inspira ton, for it was a noticeable
fact that as the day closely approached,
Mrs. Granville became more invalided,
perhaps caused by the knowledge that
one of her darlings would be excluded
from the circle of uncles, aunts, cous-
ms, brothers, sisters, children and
grandchildren that usually assembled
to celebrate this day of mercies.
After few days, when Aunty Morton
came to facilitate the arrangements,
she brought with her the brightest
and dearest little boy the Granville
family ever saw. Katie Rugged and
kissed him to her hearts content. Mrs.
Granville drew him to her heart with a
thrill of pleasure, and Farmer Gran
vile exhibited an interest in him quite
unaccountable to himself and astouni-
ing to eyewitnesses. She told them in
explanation that he was the child of a
friend of hers who had come to spend
several days with her, but insisted that
she should continue to assist Mrs. Gran
vile as planned before her arrival. She
continued to bring the little boy each
day and his coming was looked for
ward to by all with great pleasure.
Farmer Granville having, the most
leisure of anyone devoted much of it
to the child's entertainment. They had
so many plays in common that it was
difficult to tell which of the two enioyed
them most. The little boy rode fear
lessly on his shoulder about the room,
was wild with delight. One day he
crept onto his lap, and passing his little
dimpled fingers through the long gray
ish-looking beard, exclaimed: "You
look like my grandpapa."
do ~" said Farmer Granville; "of
course you love your grandpapa. Where
does he live?"
II don't know" said the child, "but 1
love you better than l do Frankie's
grandfather, for he can't ride me on lis
foot or on his shoulder, or give me ap-
Piles to eat, either"
IAN invalid, no doubt" thought
Farmer Granville, but he felt fattered
nevertheless. He had not the remotest
idea that he was talking to his grand
child, and that the ''grandpapa" the lit
tie boy referred to was a picture of
himself inclosed in case, carefully pre-
served by his discarded daughter, so he
answered:
well, will be your grandpapa while
you stay, and ride you on my foot every
day, and on the pony, too, tomorrow, if
you like"
"This is Frankie's grandpapa," said
the little boy, just as his mother had
always said to him when she showed
him the picture; and he ran his fingers
more vigorously through the long,
thick beard, and passed them lovingly
through the wrinkles about the eyes
and mouth.
Things were progressing just as
Aunty Morton wished, so the next Cay
she brought the baby over. sweet,
curly-headed little girl of two years.
The baby was double joy in the Gran
vile family, and when she kissed
"dranpapa" after Frankie's prompting,

Thankful for Thanksgiving.

Good morning, old Thanksgiving!
How do you do, to-day?
I'm very glad to see you;
/ wish you'd come and stay.
We children love you dearly,
And grown folk oft declare
They could not do without you
You're welcome everywhere.
I'm really, truly thankful
For every bit of fun
I've had since your last visit
For all the friends I've won:
And for my pets and playthings,
My books and schoolmates, too;
For what I've learned, by trying
In earnest, boys can do.
And now, Thanksgiving dinner
Hurrah! the turkey brown,
Plum pudding and mince pie in
Ny thankful list put down;
And all the other dainties
That crowd the pantry shelf,
And don't forget, Thanksgiving,
I'm thankful for yourself.

all. Mrs. Granville had dispensed with
some Of her domestics, and had taken to
active labor, thereby hoping to find al
antidote for her troubles. She went
so quietly about her self-imposed tasks
that it really seemed painful to wit
ness. Farmer Granville was snappish
and cross, until the past year marked
change had come over him, and he
seemed more tender. Perhaps, because
his beautiful and patient little wife ap-
peared to be going into decline, and
the fear he might lose her had taken
hold of his mind with a softening infu-
cnce. The youngest daughter, Katie,
who was but IL years old ct the time
of her sisters marriage, tried to en-
courage her mother and quiet her IA
Their, and went to Aunty Morton to pour
out her young hearts sorrow into her
sympathetic ear.
cit is all safe in Gods keeping, dear
child, and things will grow better uIi-
der His care, in His own and therefore
the best time," she had said again and
again to Katie.
And now she believed this was the
Lords time. and knowing that He ever
uses instruments to accomplish His pur-
pose, she believed He would make her
an instrument to bring about recon-
Citation between this father and
daughter. She clasped her hands in
prayer and said: Lord, help me-" and
felt as sure He would do so, as the little
child who goes to it's earthly parent
asking help.
She tapped little call-bell, and her
one woman servant brought in light.
Hand me my writing-desk, Mary.
There, that is all want tonight. Thank
you," and the servant withdrew.
She wrote letter and addressed it. 1t
was to Mrs. Dr. Wellman, asking her to
come with her two little children
as soon as possible and stay I'M
til after Thanksgiving day with
her. She also wanted the doctor To
come on that day, too, and earlier, if
he thought it prudent to leave his pa
tents, he would know best. Having
thus arranged things to her own sat
isfaction, she drew forth her Bible and
lead again the precious promises that
had so long fortified her for life of
faith and works, after which she knelr
down and committed all to the Lord.
Then. retiring to rest, she slept as
soundly as an infant might in it's low
ing mothers arms.
With the early mornings dawn Mrs.
Morton arose and felt refreshed. AL
though several years before, the grave
had claimed the loved husband of her
youth and her two beautiful children,
yet she felt that but a little while at the
longest and she would be with them, to
know no more parting.
Quite early she posted her letter, AMI
On her way home called in at Farmer
Granville's; for now having undertaken
the work of reconciliation, she bent
every thought and purpose of her heart
to accomplish it. The family were dis
cussing the merits of the breakfast
table, and Aunty Morton, always well
come guest, was ushered directly into
their presence. They were also dis
cussing the approaching Thanksgiving
dinner which had been celebrated from

before bright blazing fire in her own lit
tie parlor. Her thoughts had gone out on
MANY errands of kindness as she sat
there in the shadowy twilight. Moth
ing unusual for her, however, for her
life was living epistle that could be
read of all men, it was so humble, quiet,
holy, Christ-like. She loved to sit thus
in the twilight and plan her little love
errands, and think how many poor
would be likely to need her porridge the
next day, how many little shivering
children she would meet and relieve, or
what deed of kindness she could do TO
bring sinners into the better way. Fo1
Auuty Morton had grown wise in her
intercourse with the world. She had
found that whatever the difficulty Of
understanding words, deeds are almost
always Ineligible, and she revealed
her soul in inarticulate speech as an
earnest, pure and truthful life. This
was language which the profoundest
admired and the simplest could appre-
ciate. Her pastors most elaborate dis
course on sanctifcation proved tame
and ineffective in comparison with the
eloquence of this woman's humble and
holy walk with God.
Many were Aunty Morton's thoughts
on the evening we introduce her to the
reader. The minister had given notice
that in two weeks would be Thanks
giving service. She wondered why PEG
pie should have to be reminded to give
thanks. Her life was one continual
song of Thanksgiving. 1t would have
been in accordance with her idea of
many things if the president and gov
ernors should say in the beginning of
each year: "Let the present be year
of continual Thanksgiving, inasmuch as
the bountiful blessing of basket and
store is not given an withdrawn in a
day.''
Then the minister had made a re-
quest that all his parishioners should
come to church that day, especially
those who were sometimes remiss IN
their attendance, and he, with the
Lords help, would endeavor to hand
forth convenient food for them. There
was one thing the minister said that
seemed to have significance for her,
and she dwelt long upon it in thought:
"There are many life errors that can be
more easily righted, more lasting rec
cnciliations made at this time of cele-
brating mercies than at any other;
perhaps caused by the hallowed associ-
atoms that cluster around the day.
Then let each of us look well abou. lis
and see if we cannot do something to
make the world better"
Now, Aunty Morton had been think
ing about Farmer Granville, neign-
hor, who, because his daughter would
not marry the man he intended she
