hint of snow,
And November's writ his name most
everywhere.
But the bright red fires a-roarin' up the
big brick chimbly flue,
And the old house kinder wears happy
grin:
What's the odds about the weather when
the loved ones git together.
And it's jolly old Thanksgiv1n' come ag' in!
There's turkey full of stuff1n' that's
pictur' fer the eye.
There's puddin' that won't hold an
other plum;
There's cePry and there's cranb'ry sass,
there's mince and punkin pie,
All settin' there a-hollrin' ter yer:
'tCome!
And here's mother, who's been countin
up the days fer weeks and weeks,
And me a-feelfn' young as twenty-four.
And there's welcome runnin' over jest like
dew drips off the clover,
For it's jolly old Thanksgivin come once
more!
Oh, it's good ter be a child ag'in, if only
once a year!
It's good ter have the children round the
place,
It brings yer back the old sweet days in
memry alters dear,
And kinder smoothes the wrinkles from
yer face.
Our boys and gals are back at home with
children of their own.
So let the fun and frolics now begin;
We old ones hearts are CHEEKY, though our
eyes, maybe, are teary,
For it's blessed old Thanksgivin' come
ag'in!

Death of Martin Irons.

Waco, Tex, Nov. 19-Martin Irons,
the famous labor leader, who conduct
ed the big Missouri Pacific strike in
1886, died Saturday at Bunceville, 20
miles south of here. He had long
suffered from broken health and spir-
it's. Irons was once a power in the
labor world, and after coming here he
tried to launch the social democratic
movement and organized a number of

country with an unwelcome compan-
ion. The companion had joined him
at YOe's ranch, where he had been
staying for a month, bracing up
degenerate lung. Titus hated
''lunger," as he opprobriously termed
the invalids who made Colorado mel
ancholy; and, anyway, Titus was a
man of prejudices. He covered more
ground than any other mail carrier in
the whole state, and the snowbound
pass that would daunt him, the height
which would make him giIdy, the
path he would not venture, the storm
he would not face he had yet t. en-
counter. His critics might have
claimed for him more bravado than
wise courage-but Titus did not care
about critics. Talking was one of the
superf1uous arts at best, according to
Bucking Titus.
why he objected to Bernard Ander-
son. his companion. Anderson would
talk. He exclaimed about the glory
of the mountains; he thought it
worth his while to make comments
upon the splendor of the autumnal
foliage, and he even went so far as
to say what he thought about the
mistS that entwined themselves
around the cruel front of the Old
Mans mountain-that grim wall of
granite whose canyons knew the
blacklist tragedies of all the noun
tains in the country round about
Anderson was stupid enough to relate
some of these tales-though they were
ancient history to Titus.
But the second reason for dislike
which Titus entertained for Ander-
son was of a more serious nature.
Anderson had been four weeks I'M
der the same roof with Claribel Yoe.
AS for Titus. though for two years
past he had ridden over the pass like
the wild huntsman, thinking only of
the face that he should see in the val
ley beyond, he had never so much as
known what it was to press her hand
or to sit opposite to her at table To
be sure, she had brought him out hot
coffee now and then or hidden him to
sit beside the fire, and ON holidays
had given him true stfrrup cup, yet
he said to himself with endless itera-
ton that she cared nothing for him
that she had never noticed him any
more than she had 20 other men.
All men were chivalrous to her.
How could they be otherwise? She
coaxed sociability out of the solitude
and made 2 home in the wilderness
and tenderness in the country of
granite rocks, and there were warmth
and light and cheer in her dwelling
among those bitter SHOWS. Perhaps
Claribel Yoe had ceased to be mere
woman and become something sym
bolic to the men who knew her-the
adventurers who passed along the
cruel road to Tin Cup.
Anderson, taking the unnecessary
|" trouble to pick the way for his horse
who was an old mountain climber
talked eheerfully to the mail carrier.
Its an experience that city man
like myself is sure to remember to
the laEs day of his life, you know.
I neve> felt such liberty in all my
life. kAith, I've seen no paper that
was not week old before I got it,
