who was coming home to every other
family, and how the friendly eyes
watched as the train came in or the
stage coach drove into town to see
who would be the first arrival.
And such preparations as there were
going ON in the old home for days be-
core the festival! Why, the whole
country about was redolent of spices
and savory odOrs. There must be
pumpkin pies, because ''our Billy"
would never know that it was Thanks
giving if he didn't have one of moth
nr's pumpkin pies, and John would
ne terribly disappointed if he didn't
have all the mince pie he vented.
There must be custard pie for Abby,
who was in a'distant city te;Nhing
school. for she said that since she
had been away she had never t,Nted
such custard as she got at home, SO
rich and golden with eggs and cream.
And there was old-fashioned pluN
cake to be made for the little ones-p
not the rich kind that would make
everybody i'll who ate more than Il
crumb of it, but wholesome, spicy
plum cake stuffed full of raisins-and
the sugariest of cookies; for the dears
would be sure to get hungry before
dinner was ready, argued mother
'and they must have something to
stay them"
Then how the clouds were watched
for days for the promise of snow. 1t
was not Thanksgiving-a real, true
nksgiving-without q sleigh-ride.
Nowadays people think that winter
sets in early If there is snow at
Christmas, and there is very audable
grumbling if Thanksgiving finds the
ground with its covering of white.
There is as much difference in the
menu OF the new-fashioned dinner to
be served at Thanksgiving and that
which was served ON the old-fashioned
table as there is in the spirit and oh.
servance of the day itself. The pres
ant one includes soup. after the oys-
ters, and goes regularly through sew
aral courses, with salad, ice-cream and
all the new-fangled dinner notions
The other had roast turkey as the
principal dish; and besides there was
roast beef and roast pork, for fresh
beef was as great luxury as the
turkey was to the visiting children
There was cranberry sauce. mashed
potatoes, squash, boiled onions and
turnips. plenty of relishes and pickles.
.hen the plum pudding and all the ar
-ay of pies. One had to be valiant
trencherman to face all this. oh! and
[ forgot the big chicken pie, baked in
A four or six quart milk-pan, and
fairly oozing richness.
There could not be Thanksgiving
without turkey any more than there
could be an English Christmas dinner
without roast goose. Turkey has been
the national dish for the day ever
since the first Thanksgiving was kept

and right to give thanks for blessings
and mercies which had been vouch-
safed before asking an increase; and
so the first festival of Thanksgiving
was to be held. The hunters went
securing the woods for wild turkeys,
which abounded about Plymouth, and
which We're to furnish the chief dish
for the feast. Kitchens were put in
readiness for the cooking and pretty

havoc with the heart of stout Miles
Standish, and drove handsome John
Alden wild with her teasings before
she gave him that memorable bit of
encouragement, was put in charge of
the biggest one of all, that belonging
to worthy Dame Brewster.
But the dinner! What notable
feast it was, and how the good DANES
of Plymouth must have worked to set
before their hungry guests such an
array of tempting dishes! The place
of honor was held by the turkeys,
stuffed to bursting with beechnuts
and savory herbs. Then there were
oysters, brought by the Indians as
their contribution to the festival, and
the first which the white people had
ever seen, and great bowls of steam
ing clam chowder, delicious stews,
with dumplings of the -four of barley,
cakes of all descriptions, such as Pris-
ella Mullins knew well how to con-
coct with the fruits of the forest, wild
grapes, plums and nuts.

Wild Gnme Appropriate.

On the Thanksgiving table wild
game of any kind is appropriate, sug-
gesting, as 1t does, the fare of those
early Thanksgiving days in Pilgrim
and Puritan times. Except for the
game of the forests and rivers the
scant harvests which hard toll reaped
from wild land would not have been
enough to save the colonists from act
ual starvation. No heavy laden ship
bringing dainties from foreign lands

Cost of Inte1nperance.

One of our most enlightened cities re-
ports $4,000 arrests for drunkenness a
year, and 5000 imprisonments. The fines
collected amounted to less than $4,000,
while the cost of maintaining the prison
ers was more than Sl25,000. The net cost
to the taxpayers, therefore, was more
than 100000. If some one proposed to
appropriate that amount for establishing
a library or other public institution the
matter would have great deal of consid..
Grafton, lest the city might be guilty of
extravaganza.

The Crusade In Brief.

Let us continue to teach our boys ana
girls that alcohol is a poison; that the
fact of its being oxodized in the body, if
taken in small quantities, is not sufficient
to constitute it food, and that the nor
NAL man is never benefited by it in any
quantity.
Alcohol is not needed in any form as a
medicine. This fact is settled, beyond
contumely by the many thousands of pa
tients treated in the London Temperance
Hospital in recent years and in that of
Montreal and Chicago and other places.

After the Boys.

During Major Hilton's meetings at Gin
snnati he related story of a boy in Chi
cago, nine years of age, who came to
school drunk, and being taken in the arms
of an officer, his head pillowed on his
breast, he coaxed the little one to tell
him where he got the vile stuff. After
thinking a moment he got up and felt in
his pocket, which<was filed with old nails,
bits of string, top, ETC., but he could not
see the thing he wanted; he looked on the
floor, and there he saw what he had
dronped, bright picture card, on the
edge of which were small squares, and
some of these were punched. What is
this?" the officer asked. My beer card;
each boy gets a card and each hole is a
drink, and the boy that gets the most
holes in a month gets prize. There
are three prizes, a pistol, story of three
devils and a whisky cocktail
One of the Cincinnati teachers felt i'm,
pressed to relate the story to class of
fifty-five boys. The eager eyes, the dis
tressed looks will not be forgotten Then
they opened their hearts to her how men
in Cincinnati ''play pool" and the winner
receives brass checks for drinks, and gives
them to, the boys at the baseball grounad,i

the press of school duties the matter was
forgotten by the busy teacher, but not
by the boys
When school was called on Monday
morning the first question was, win you
take the checks now. Miss r." and imme-
diately four brass checks were handed to
her. each bearing the name of the saloon
keeper and five cents.

What l wish to especially emphasize in
these cases is the enormous size of the
liver, the almost complete destruction of
the kidneys, and the disorganized state of
the muscular fiber of the heart, while the
persons whose most vital organs were in
this deplorable condition were apparent

REAR ADMIRAL SCHLEY AND

nerve. He has been made the object of
an attack that any man with blood in
his veins would resent, aud, at his own
request, he will appear before a naval
board, and a quarrel that has become a
national disgrace will have public
airing.
1t will be as dry as the dust OF q

feathers, pomp and ceremony, but il

loyal and true. He did things. He
wasn'I afraid, and yet, IN the face OF his
record, other men OF national fame have
Dagged him Ikea lot of boys. Sampson
is against him. He has never lost ar
opportunity TO pus in q blow where II
would do the most harm. Tacttly he
has encouraged others to assail Sohley.
He has been betulant, jealous and un-
reasonable.
