SAID SISTER JANE.

Said Tom, THE days are short and
cold
And dismal altogether;
Why do they have Thanksgiving when
1t is the years worst weather."
But l, like dreary day."
Said sturdy little Will;
without a storm, and then a freeze,
How could we slide down hill?"
And then" said grown up sister Jane,
when loud the north wind roars,
The best there is of summer time
Is safe with us indoors.
The lovely waving grass of June
Makes sweet the barn with hay;
And rosy apples in the bin
Were once the flowers of May.
Its blossoms lowered over,
Sealed up in waxen cells is all
The sweetness of the clover.
And all the store of gold it caught
From summers golden sky
The jolly yellow pumpkin brings
To make Thanksgiving pie.
and so, if we with grateful hearts
Will count all things together,
Each day will be Thanksgiving Day
Whatever be the weather."
Marian Douglas.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1899-11-23

whip over the grass, still green, by
the southern side of the house
1 say" he began, how en- you eat
so much all alone?"
Il amt alone; I've got a cat n dog
n hens"
oh, them don't count"
Don't they? Well, then, if can't
eat it alone l can throw it away alone.
Is that what you came back to ask?"
NO, faint
Winsor drew his whiplash still faster
over the grass.
Wed better go in than be standin'
here with the wind BLOWN through
our bones" remarked Ruth.
20, l can't stop. Well, mebbe had
better step inside"
The two went into the kitchen. Ruth
sat down in chair and Winsor con-
tinued to stand, apparently that he
might more conveniently pull his
whiplash through his fingers. He bent
his head that he might look through
the uncurtained part of the window.
Think it's goin' to snow?" he asked
Unexpectedly.
I'm sure | don't know. You can't
tell nothin bout the weather in the
fall of the years"
"Todays Tuesday" remarked Win
sor, with still more irrelevance.
Il amt goin' to dispute that" re-
sponded Ruth, and she laughed
Winsor was now gazing intently at
his companion. He was thinking that
he had never noticed before that she
had kind, wholesome face. 1t must
have agreed with her to live alone as
she had done for the five years since
her father died.
DAY after tomorrowll be Thanks
givin', he said. His eyes twinkled.
And the day after'll be Friday" she
retorted; she laughed again.
Winsor did not laugh, but his eyes
twinkled still more.
What I'm wonderin' bout" he said.
after a silence, ''is whether it'll snow
Thanksgivin'."
IF you're askin' me, l can't tell you.
The Lord amt let me know whether
he's goin' to send snow or not"
It'll make it bad passin'."
That won't make no difference to
me, the passin' won't. There's weeks

Eyes, it's fittin', too"
Mr.. Winsor coughed.
Got your spinnin' done?"
No; somehow my sheep grew more
wool n common this year.
Folks are complainin' bout their
sheep. Dogs killed three of mine"
The speaker walked to the window
and gazed at the sky for a long time
IN silence. Ruth put more wood in the
stove then sat down and contemplated
the faded back of the army coat.
Winsor turned toward her. He be-

gan, rather nervously, to stroke the
extremely small tuft of gray hair that
he allowed TO grow just below his IN
der lip.
Il was talkin' with old Paul Dill

gan abruptly, " and he stuck to it that
it most always showed Thanksgivin'
| told him it didn't hardly ever. He
got mad n l got mad finally. You know
he's got way with him that would
make saint lose his temper n swear
like the devil. He asked me if I'd bet

Il hope you weren't silly enough, Z"
interrupted Ruth.
Il know | was-a regular built fool;
am most the time The upshot of the
matter was that if it don't snow DiITs
goin' to do a certain thing; N if it
does snow I'm going to do the same.
| thought I'd tell you"
Mr.. Winsor now went to the door
and put his hand on the latch. The
twinkle had gone from his eyes and he
was very sober.
Il don't see any call for you to tell
me, Adoniram," rather wonderingly
from Ruth.
No, | don't s'pose you do. couldn't
expect that. | guess I'll go now. I'll
bring up the turkey tomorrow night,
though what you're going to do with it
| can't guess
He opened the door and stepped out.
He looked up at the sky; there was a
thin haze over it. He went back.
81 tell you what tbs, Ruth, | hope
it'll snow" he said with great empha-
sis.
Then you'll lose your bet; it'll be
good enough for you. too
It'll be too good Ruth Avery, |
want you to remember that said |
hoped 'twould snow"
Ruth stared; she continued to stare
as Winsor's horse walked up the slope
and finally horse and cart and the man
disappeared down the other side. Fol
some time after they had gone from
sight she could hear the leisurely
humping of the cart over the hollows
and stones of the path.
She took her broom and began tc
sweep rapidly, but the next moment
she paused to say aloud to the cat il
the rocker:
IF men amt the Queerest things
that God ever made then I'll give it up!

Perhaps it was this sense of graft.

she swept, forgetting some of the
words:

A Snowy Thanksgiving.

L WISH you XIII me the heaviest
and latest one you've got"
The woman who spoke was leaning
out of her open kitchen window. She
had hastily taken her apron from it's
usual place, and now held it clutched
closely about her head, but the wind
was blowing lock of gray hair over
her eyes, and she was constantly
thrusting it back with a quick-moving
thin hand
''You don't want to go as high as an
eighteen-pounder, do you?"
The man paused as he was about to
mount one-horse tipcart. He had one
hand on the horses haunch and one
on the shaft of the cart; he put his
question over his shoulder.
Eyes, do, too; / don't care if it's a
twenty-pounder. Do you think | want
ia small turkey for Thanksgiving?
sh'd feel mean as dirt with a small
one"
What you goin to do with it? | vow
/ don't see how you're goin to make
way with it''-still speaking over his
shoulder.
1T amt no matter if you don't see
Adoniram Winsor; l en- set m eat it,
n be thankful that | amt a man, n
Ithankfuller still that l amt got one
round with laugh that rang merrily
on the chill air.
"Certain-certain. You shall have the
lunkinest Teller I've got-big 'nough
for the president"
And now the man climbed into the
cart, the horse moved and the wheels
|creaked slowly into the ruts of the lane
that led to the main road a mile dis
tant.
Ruth Avery slammed down the win
dow, went to her stove, lifted the lid,
bethought herself of something she had
meant to say, ran to the door, which
she flung open with a bang, and
shouted:
"Adoniram. Adoniram Win-sor."
Mr.. Winsor's form as he stood erect
in the wabbling cart gave no sign that
he heard but he Immediately began to
turn his horse and then to back him.
"You needn't turn round-I say, you
needn't turn round!" shouted Ruth.
But | want to. I've thought of
something" was the response.
So the horse retraced his steps and
the cart joggled behind him.
Il only wanted to say you must save
me the wings" said Ruth. There amt
anything so good for sweeping under
the stove and in corners as the right
wing of turkey"
Il ii save EN-" answered Mr.. Winsor.
He descended to the ground and
came forward. He was very tall, and
the army overcoat he wore was not
long enough for him. 1t was the coat
he had worn in the civil war. II was
patched with various colored cloths
and the bottom was somewhat fringed
The owner of it frequently announced
that he was going to wear it as long as
two threads held together. He usually
added that blue army coats were
gittin' so skearce now that this one
made him quite distinguished, and i'll
man could be distinguished as cheap
as that he was lucky" Then he winked
one keen blue eye.
Ruth Avery remained standing in
the doorway. A sharp wind came sweep
ing into the valley from the hills and
Ruth again huddled her apron about
her hesd and shoulders.
Winsor approached and leaned one
hand on the decreasing; with the
other he dragged the long lash Of his 4
