rbankseivinc Brinrs Reunious.

No other gala season of the year, not
even Christmas, sets in motion so many
forces, sees cars and boats so packed
with children and grandchildren going
back to the old home, sees old people
SO forgetting their age and young peo-
pie so honoring the old, and altogether
witnesses such beautiful reunions as we
find at Thanksgiving. Men immersed in
business cares take time now to run up
to the rocky farm in Massachusetts, or
the prairie home in Wisconsin, or the
wheatfield of Dakota, to be boys again
beside their parents 'I'm growing to
be quite an old gentleman, y said my
friend, whose 88 years are his crown of
glory, "but tell you when Thanksgiv-
ing comes I'm boy again, for my chill
dren and their families all come back to
keep the day with me- Christian Her

Thanksgiving Dinner.
LOOK ON The BRIGHT SIDE.
We Have Many Causes to Be Thankful IL
W. Try to See Them.

We Have Many Causes to Be Thankful IL
W. Try to See Them.
Another thanksgiving day has dawx,-
ed, and we are perhaps questioning our
selves as to whether we have any cause
for gratitude in the way our lives have
been ordered. The pessimist, looking al
ways on the dark side, says, Well,
may be fairly happy today, but that
doesn't t argue that may not be utterly
miserable tomorrow, and in conse-
quence he or she, instead of being thank
full for the present good, frets over the
future evil which perhaps-who knows?
may never come.
Every one of us has something for
which to give thanks today. Now be-
gin and analyze our possessions and see
if the blessings do not outweigh the
miseries If we have health, we should
rejoice; that is a rare gift that cannot
be too warmly appreciated. If a dear
one who has been at deaths door is re-
stored to US, that is another cause for
jubilation. Even if we are pressed hard
financially, there are compensating sides
to that situation. Nothing is SO bad but
not feel privileged to shout over a posi-
tive good we can be happy in the fact
that it is not a positive evil Every one
of us has the power to make sunshine
in our own and in the lives of others
Burdens there are to bear for every pair
of shoulders, but in helping others, in
self sacrifice. in a desire to be sweet,
womanly and loyable, our own trials
slip away and when Thanksgiving day
comes around we can, with a joyous
heart, declare that we have much to be
grateful for.
All holidays have their sorrowful
side; they are reminiscent of other oc-
casions when the family in perfect, un-
broken numbers sat around the table
and reveled in the spirit of the occasion.
Now they are scattered here and there.
Death, perhaps, has claimed some, and
the feast of today is but mere shadow
of the functions of other seasons long
gone by. But if you are left entirely
alone and are obliged to sit down to
your solitary meal with no companions
save your own thoughts, you still have
cause for thankfulness, and you will
find it if you only make it your bust
ness to look for it instead of moping
and repining over what cannot be helped
and what is only made worse by brood
ing upon. Awake in touch with the
spirit of the day, and you will find
that, despite all past troubles or present
annoyances, you can cause the "a hours
to brim over with gratefulness that may
do much to make other ones equally
joyous.

CARVING A TURKEY.
Useful information For the Wielder Of
the Festive Knife.


the Festive Knife.
Murrey, in his work on practical
carving, says you should place the tur
key with the head from you, on large
platter. Have ready one small and one
large knife, one small and one large
fork. Insert the large fork through the
center of the breast, the tines astraddle
of the ridge. Cut away the twine with
which the bird is trussed and cut two
thin slices of white meat from the
breast down to the shoulder. Now di-
vide the wing from the shoulder, which,
if done before cutting the two slices,
that part of the fowl and the upper ends
Of the slices will be ragged. The ex-
pert will next divide the drumstick
from the second joint, but the beginner
should cut above the second joint down
toward the back, then cut on the lower
side, press the joint gently outward with
the knife and with the point of the knife
divide the joints
Now use the small knife and fork to
separate the drumstick and second joint
and also to divide the latter while in
hand. Slice off the breast in wide, long
and not too thin slices. Gently draw
the bird over on its left side and with
one quick. sharp stroke with the knife
cut part way through the right center
of the back. Cut from the pope's nose
along the back, up to this cut, to pro-
cure the side bone. The ''oysters" on
the back belong with the side bones and
should not be detached from them The
wishbone should be separated from the
breastbone and shoulder, and a quick
stroke will separate the collar bone from
the breast. Another will give you the
shoulder blade, around which is fair
"pieking. Z The left side is carved the
same as the right side. and it is consid-
cred quite an accomplishment to be able
to carve with the left hand as well as
with the right.

AN EMBLEMATlC DINNER.
Let the Thanksgiving Feast Be Thorough
Iy American.


Iy American.
A real Thanksgiving dinner should be
as emblematic as possible. There is un-
doubtedly value in the observance of
national customs, though the spirit Of
the age is to disregard them. Thanks
giving was the first national feast we
observed as such in this country. 1t
was the first mbending of our puritan
ical fathers, their first yielding to the
appetite after their desperate flight from
England, where the spiritual meaning
of festival was buried in gluttony and
Christmas was synonymous with riotous
living. The Thanksgiving feast first
broke the grim and frugal year for us.
Nature herself, setting the example,
heaped our laps with the harvest yield,
and the feast ON that day should typify
the plenty and prosperity of the year.
Most of us have enough and to spare.
Let us see that we do spare of it to
those of scanty means.
AS it was from old England that we
drew our ideas regarding our feasting,
no French course dinner should be serv-
ed upon this occasion, but a generous
board, groaning with its load, la Eng
land, should be spread. The turkey is
king Of the feast, snowy celery with its
canary colored crest crowning him, and,
together with the time honored product
of the bogs-the cranberry-pro
us he shall not pail upon our taste from
very richness. Sweet and white pota-
toes, both absolutely indigenous to this
land, with or without onions, turnips,
parsnips and salsify-in fact, your choice
of a host of vegetables, all in season
for the day-play the part of courtiers
at this royal gathering. Before sitting
down it might be well to revive one Of
ten forgotten custom Of the early cen
turies-namely, to give thanks, for is
it not Thanksgiving gdinner?-Exchange

a Season of Recreation.

Thanksgiving day has long been pc
riod of social happiness, and one cannot
fail to note decided tendency to make
it a day of physical recreation also.
Both of these forms Of enjoyment are
valuable and desirable. Perhaps the
ideal Thanksgiving day would be that
in which all the activities Of man--the
intellectual, the moral, the spiritual
and the physical-work in harmony for
the accomplishment of the highest and
noblest purposes.

Fasting. Not Teasting.

When John Adams was president
and when war with France seemed
imminent, he issued proclamation
In view of ''the unfriendly dispo-
sition, conduct and demands of a
foreign power, evinced by repeated re-
fusals to receive our messengers of rec
onciliation and peace, a day was set
apart for fasting, humiliation and pray
er. Nor was this the last day which the
people of the United States were called
upon to celebrate in this humble way,
as Madison issued similar proelama-
tion in 1914, becauGo of the war with
Great Britain then in progress. The fol
lowing year, however, he called upon
all the people to rejoice on the second
Tuesday in April over the restoration
of peace.

THANKSGIVING.


Old Time has trrncd full many page
LII my dull book of life
Since ! in burning words beseeched
Fair Prue TO be my wife.
Methinks l still can hear her voice
So mournfully decline
The offer that ] made and say
She'd ne'er be wife Of mine.
The world has sped its fieeting way
Adown the paths of space
Since that faroff Thanksgiving day,
But time will ne'er efface
The mem'ry of her gentle "No"
That bade my hopes depart,
To leave ne-ah. it seemed so theni-
Narlght save broken heart.
Thanksgiving days have hurried by
Twoscore of them, guess.
The gloomy shroud that wrapped me ther
Is gone, l must confess
She's married-yes, Prue married-and
Her husband IS hair turned gray.
Mayhap that's why SO gratefully
render thanks today.

MaIne,s First Thanksgiving.

The first Thanksgiving day in Amer
lea was appointed not by the pilgrims,
as many persons mistakenly believe, but
by members of the church of England.
It was celebrated at Monhegan, off the
Maine coast, near the mouth of the
Kennebec river, as far back as 1607-13
years prior to the arrival of the May
flower i'll Plymouth harbor-and Chap
lain Seymour preached a sermon 'gyv-
ing God thanks for our happy metynge
and safe aryyail into the country. -
