A Thanksgiving Story.

well, / don't s'pose anybody ever
saw the likes o. that said Miss Polly.
The thing that nobody ever saw the
like Of was a tear. 1t had rolled down
Miss Polly's wrlnkled cheek and fallen
on her hand. While she looked at it
curiously another tear slipped down
the other cheek and dropped beside its
fellow, where it glistened as her hand
trembled.
"Well, l voww murmured Miss Polly,
in amaZement.
Words could go no further. When
Miss Polly vowed" there was moth
ing more to be said All this was be-
cause the physician had come in from
the other room and had said in his
genial way:
"She's ever so much better this morn
ing Miss Polly. / think she'll pull
through"
That was how it happened that the
two tears were glttering on Miss Pol
ly's hand. They were very inconsist-
ent tears, and Miss Polly had always
been consistent. 1t was like turning
her whole life wrong side out, and she
realized it. In the first place, Miss

and his shaggy beard and stood there,
a tall, handsome young fellow. And
then the astounded company saw him
go around and take Miss Polly In his
arms.
Here l am, mother" he said as he
kissed her. "And you are glad to see
me, after all?"
What q time IL was! He told them
after awhile how he had so longed for
a glimpse of the old home that he had
determined to disguise himself and see
the house and his mother once more.
He had been in distant city all these
years and was in business there and
prospering too.
"And to think how near / came to

YOU Are AUNT POLLY SHE SAID.
Polly had never been an attractive wo-
man. She was grim and harsh and
hardworking. She was really a Mrs.
Stephens, but she was married after
having been an ''old maid" for some
years, and her old name still clung TO
her. Her husband was a mild, quiet
man and had lived but a few years
after their marriage. People said that
Miss Polly had driven" him to death
and that he had been forced to die to
get little rest.
There had been a child, too-ah, Miss
pain when she thought of him!-a
handsome, high spirited boy, who
would not be driven" and yet she had
tried to drive him. 1t had never oc-
Cured to her that there was any other
way. The result had been that he left
home when he was 10, and she had
never heard from him since.
From that day Miss Polly had grown
more grim than ever. She made friends
with nobody. She repelled everybody.
Her black eyebrows drew nearer to-
gether In a forbidding frown. Her
voice grew harsher and colder, and
she became, as the years passed, more
gaunt and iron gray. Poor old Miss
Polly! People pitied her, but they
were wise enough to let her alone.
One day letter came from lawyer
in distant city. 1t said that her only
sister. Mrs. Mary Aston, had died.
leaving her a considerable property ''in
trust for my adopted daughter, Doro-
thy Carew."
"Fiddlesticksw exclaimed Miss Polly.
MARY always was a fool!' And she
threw the letter into the fire.
A week later she saw a carriage
drive up to her gate and deposit there
a young girl, with her trunk and boxes.
The girl paid the driver, and the car
riage went away, and then Miss Polly,
angry and amazed, went and stood In
the door, ready to warn the intruder
-oS The girl came up the walk and
looked straight into Miss Polly's face
with her pretty, frank brown eyes.

know because / have seen your pic
ture. / am Dorothy Carew."
And then, before Miss Polly could
say word, the girl took one of the
hard, wrinkled hands in both her own
and leaned forward and kissed the
withered cheek that had been unkissed
so long.
There was moments fierce struggle
in the old woman's breast. Then she
said in her own grim way:
81 reckon I'll have to help you bring
in your things. There's nobody else"
She marveled at herself when she
found herself tugging at the heavy
trunk and helping this girl, this Doro-
thy Carew, whom nobody wanted, to
get her things into the hall and from

THE PRIEST RIVER RESERVE.

Representative McBee's Memorial Passes
Both Houses of the Legislature.
Representative McBee's memoir
al to the president of the United
States, praying for the opening of
a portion of the Priest River For
est Reserve in Kootenai county,
to settlement, has passed both
houses of the Legislature and will
be forwarded to the president at
once. The memorial asks for the
opening of five full townships,
one half township and three small
fractional townships, making in all
total of 30, 900 acres.
The land mentioned in the
memorial is well adapted to sue
cessful cultivation, we'll watered
and drained by large streams,
the soil being fertile and easily re-
duced to a tillable condition, and
containing great areas of rich
meadow lands. The conditions
generally are attractive to the hus-
bandman.
About 5000 acres of the above
land was entered in good faith
under the homestead laws of the
United states prior to the presi-
ident's proclamation creating this
reserve, which was issued on Feb.
%, 1897. This is not the only
effort that is being made to induce
the president to modify the pro-
clamation of Feb. ~, 1897. Mr..
S. Lindsay, of Priest River, was
here on Tuesday and circulated a
petition which was numerously
signed by county officials and bus
ines men in general 1t IS learned

will send a delegate 10 Washing

be fully presented to our congress

influence with the president for the
