ABOUT THANKSGIVING.
How the Proclamation Is Issued by
the President-A Boys Com-
position

After Halloween is over, the next
thing to look forward to in the way of
a fete day is Thanksgiving. a few
days before Thanksgiving the pres
ident issues his annual proclamation.
There is u little form to be observed
about this.
1t is composed by the president him
SELF which, you know, is not true of all
state papers, and in most instances
written out in his own hand. When this
is done, the document goes to the state
department, where it is carefully cop
led in ornamental writing that is al
most like engraving, on the official blue
paper of that department. The next
thing needed on the document is the
great seal of the government. This
seal is kept by the clerk of pardOns and
commissions, and it is very carefully
guarded under lock and key. It's keep
cr will not get it out without special
warrant signed by the president, and
an impression of the seal is quite
ceremony in itself When the proula-
nation has been thus duly signed and
sealed, many copies are made of it by
clerks, and one is sent to the governor
of every state in the union. 1T is also
given out then to the press agents, who
telegraph it all over the United States,
and in this way the day is announced.
The governors, as they receive it, issue
one themselves for their state.
The first proclamation, issued by
President Washington in 1889, was
dated early in October. News could not
be telegraphed everywhere in an hour
then, and the word from the executive
mansion had to travel slowly, so it was
got out in plenty of time. Washing
toms example in the way of issuing a
proclamation was not followed by all
his successors. The practice stopped
with him, and was not revived until
Lincoln became president. Since then,
however, every succeeding president
has issued a proclamation.
Here is that funny composition which
a boy wrote about Thank giving, which
is worth repeating, now that it is
timely:
Thanksgiving was brought over
froSh England by the Puritan Fathers
in the year 1920. 1t has staid here ever
since. On Thanksgiving everybody
goes to church in the morning, so as
to have everything out of the way be-
fore dinner. Then you come home and
hang around Il little while and get aw-
full hungry smelling the turkey. After
dinner Thanksgiving is over."-N. Y.

lavish her affection, she turned it all
TO the old house where her family had
lived for two generations. Cousin Jim
had spent many years in Missouri, and
his wife and children she had never
seen.
The one great shadow that darkenSd
Aunt Sarah's Efe was a mortgage FOR
81 900 upon the place, the time for the
payment of which was rapidly ap-
preaching Her usually cheerful dis
position was so clouded by this trial
that for several years she had not been
able to find heart for the celebration of
any festivities. However, since "Jim's
folks" those that really cared for her
and were her own, were coming, she
must make suitable preparations for
their entertainment.
So the morning before Thanksgiving
found her up by four o'clock, and bus
Ting about with brighter face and a
brighter step than she had known in
wears. All day she mixed and stirred
and baked and tasted, regardless of the
lowering clouds and steady rain with
out. BY three o'clock in the afternoon
the last pie, steaming hot, was placed
beside many others in neat rows on the
pantry shelves, the enormous turkey,
brown and crisp, lay in regal state be-
side a spiced ham. Cakes, snowy loaves
of home made bread, jars of preserved
| fruits. iellies and marmalades and pats
of golden butter were arranged in
tempting array. Aunt Sarah gave a

with a heavy heart. The brightness and
warmsh of the sitting-room smote her
with deep sense of guilt. She tried to
put the matter from her mind; but
every time she looked into the glowing
flames she saw a host of cold, haggard
faces. Unable to bear it longer, she left
the room on the preteXt of seeing that
all was well upstairs. She passed from
one 10 another of the neat bedrooms.
Never before had the old-fashioned, +,
high-posted beds looked so inviting. She
paused in deep thought. Suddenly her
eyes rested upon a faded sampler she
had worked when a child. The long,
uneven letters in red, green and purple
silk danced before her eyes. "Inasmuch
as We have done it unto one of the least
of these, My brethren, ye have done it
unto Me-"
Done it unto Me-" the words echoed
in her ears. What if He were out in
the rain hungry and cold, would she
have treated Him thus?
She sank beside the bed and bur
led her face in her hands.
Dear Lord" she sobbed, ''it is so
hard. when it is the only pleasure I've
had since mother died, five long years
ago. l wasn't expecting it, and it all
came so sudden like, and now to have
it spoiled. But for Thy sake, Lord,

all afraid of starving in the meantime"
Although the dinner was two days
late, never was more tempting one
placed upon a board nor ever did hap
pier people gather around it. Just as
Cousin jim had finished asking bless
ing, his eldest son returned from the
village, where he had gone upon an err
rand.
"Here is letter for you, Cousin
Sarah" he said, handing her large
envelope.
"A letter." she echoed. "Who can he
writing to me?"
She broke the seal and a crisp bank
note fell upon her plate.
She read aloud:
Dear Madam:
II beg that you will pardon the liberty I
take in sending this amount. / shall never
miss it, as / am wealthy man and have
no family. One who knows how to make
much good use of a home should certainly
not lose it. Yours truly,
