idea of an elopement, and was no
longer playing with fire, while Castro
was on his way home to wreak re-
venge on his foolish. if not faithless
wife. Thus matters stood one even

room with rage and jealousy gnawing
at her heart-the rage because she
had been scorned-jealousy because
the officer had admitted that he had
sweetheart to whom he would be
faithful. She knew that her conduct
had been open to censure, and that
word had gone to her husband, and
she would be held to account. She sat
in the darkness for an hour, brood

passed into another room and took
a box from the cupboard. In the box
were four tarantulas, which had been
caught and imprisoned to be shipped

THANKSGIVING DINNER.
Feasting Has Been Sign of Joy and
Happiness Since the Worlds
Beginning,

breaking bread from house to
house they did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart,
praising God and having favor with
all the people" Thus did the early
disciples. Feasting has always been
a concomitant of joy. A humorous
touch appears in Nansen's story of his
fearful journey across the ice. When
anything favorable occurred they
would take chocolate caramel out of
their little store and celebrate the
event. When friends long parted meet,
they feast. At every wedding that we
know anything about, since time be-
gan, there was marriage supper. The
table is spread with the snowiest linen
and heaped with the choicest from the
hive, orchard, field, garden and stall.
Not the things that are eaten give the
joy-the bachelor can have as good in
his attic and sulk over it. It is an ex-
preston that has come down to us
from time immemorial. The Morse,
Greek and all the other mythologies
ascribe the joy-festival to their gods.
This traces it far back OF history, to q
misty and somber period which is PEN
etrated by few rays of light.
The Thanksgiving feast is the per.
feet Towering of aeons of growth. 1t
is a feast of love that takes in God.
It is a family reunion. The lowering
mother once more gathers her brood
under her wings. They come like doves
from every point in the sky. The old

SOCIETY NOW HAS A NEW
AND EXPENSIVE DRINK
1t Is Seductive Cordial Called coil Of
Roses Imported From Amsterdam.

Many New York women who substi-.
tute ''fiZzes," balls" and cocktails for
inoeuous tea as an afternoon beverage
are approaching new and superla-
lively seductive drink" called oil of
roses. A cordial in name only, it has
none of the sticky, syrupy compenents
of the other insipid cordials, but has
peculiar, almost biting taste that APP
peals to the feminine palate. This
cordial Is favored with bridesmaids
roses, and is the invention of firm in
Amsterdam that was organized in 1876.
A bushel Of selected roses are crushed
into press and the essence is extract
ed by a complicated system. This dis
tillation is enlivened by alcohol and
other spirits, but naturally the favor
of roses is responsible for the increas-
ing popularity of the drink.
The cordial tastes like a rose smells.
The color is pale pink, and as the dis
tillation Of .Huile de Roses" requires
an enormous amount of roses and great
care, this is the most expensive cordial
o nthe market. A mere tablespoonful
retails at 25 cents. The firm in Am
sterdam exports this liquor in genuine
Delft jugs that the purchaser retains
and the average woman derives much
pleasure taking home the tiny jug from
which she has quaffed the delightful
cordial. Encouraged by the success of
their rose drink, Ferdinand Bols has
devised similar concoction favored
with violets. This is named "Parfait
Amour" (perfect love-, and the first
consignment of the violet cordial reach

Setting a Wolf Trap.

The depredations of wolves on their
f1ocks and herds continues to be serious
proposition to many Western stockmen.
Seton Thompson says wolves are increas-
ing all over the country, and they are
harder to kill than ever before They
seem to be gaining more shrewdness every
generation. correspondent IN Farm
and Ranch gives the following plan for
setting the ordinary steel trap which, it
Is claimed has proven effective and may
contain some new suggestions for some Of
our readers. If anyone has better plan,
we would be glad to hear from him
If no tree or saplfng is growing at the
desired point, a post must be set beside
the trail to afford secure anchorage for
the trap. A piece of tough beef is wired
to the post a couple of feet from the
ground, and the trap is set beneath it. A
pile of brush behind and at the sides of
the post will compel the wolf to approach
the bait via the trap, the latter being
carefully concealed by leaves and grass.
Small bits of meat strewn along the trail
In each direction attract attention. wnet
his appetite and throw him off his guard,
main bait, and into the trap.
