astonished to receive q letter by re-
turn mail, running about as follows:
"Dear Sir-We regret to advise you
that four of the turkeys in your con-
signment of November reached here
dead. Please make deduction for
same, and return correct amount.
Yours truly" The poultryman COM
muned with himself and replied thus:
Dear Sir-I am sorry to say that 1
find it impossible to make concession
requested. 1 have established q rule
requiring all customers who desire
live dressed turkeys to notify us in
advance, so we can send them in
heated cars. Turkeys without feath-
ers and insides are liable to catch cold
if shipped in the ordinary manner.
The mortality among dressed turkeys
was very large this year. Yours

Mrs. Garth saw neither the sunset
nor the leafless trees which stood be-
tween her and it; she was looking
upon her handsome, willful boy, COM
ing, with his gay whistle, across the
meadow, driving the cows, always at
this hour. How many time she
had looked out in pride on him-the
light of their homeland now, how
changed, how desolate everything had
become!
A hot tear wclled up from the moth
er's heart, and rolled down her cheek.
Mother" and Mary's arms were
around her neck.
Mrs. Garths head fell upon her
daughters shoulder, and they shed to-
gether the tears which had been so
long restrained.
Mr. Garth was astonished, on COM
ing in, to witness this scene; but his
wife held out her hand, and said,

That word explained it all, and in
that instant tl e poor, yearning father

heart grew light.

Mrs. Garth, too, felt uncommonly
cheerful, and flew around next day,
with her cap-border flying with her,
from stufiing turkeys to making mince
pies and cranberry jelly, and all the
good things she was famous for.
Mary, too, had caught the infection,
and seemed inspired with her moth
er's zeal in cooking. They did not
stop minute till tea-time came, and
then Mrs. Garth, leaning back in her
chair, and tanning herself with n
newspaper while she slipped her tea,
said:
"Well, I'm almost beat out, and am
glad TO have restin' spell. Do you
know, father, it's been runnin' in my
bones all day that Lukes a-comin'

Articles Found in the Presidents Pocl1-
OTIS Day of Assass nation.
The presidents clothes, which were
removed at the Exposition hospital,
were sent to the Milburn residence,
where the pockets were emptied. In
his right-hand trousers pocket was
$1.S0 in currency. With these coins
was a small silver nugget. well worn,
as if the president had carried it for
pocket piece for a long time. Three
small penknives, pearl handled, were in
the pockets of his trousers. Evidently
they were gifts that he priced and was
in the habit of carrying all three of
them. They were simple knives with
no ornamentation. Another battered
coin, presumably a pocket piece, was
in the left hand pocket.
The presidents wallet is well worn
black leather one, about four inches by
five and half inches in size. 1t was
not marked with his name or other
Identification. In this wallet were some
bills, amounting to s45. A number OF
cards, which evidently had rested in
the wallet for some time. were in one
OF the compartments. They were not
examined
In a vest pocket was silver shell
lead pencil. Three cigars were found.
They we're not the black perfectos
which the president likes, but short
size, and were recognized as some that
had been given to him at Niagara
Falls that day. On two of them he had
chewed, much as General Grant used
cigar. The other he had not touched.
The presidents watch was an open
faced gold case American made time
keeper. Attached to it was the gold
chain which the president always wore.
No letters. kilograms or papers were
found. There was not on the presi-
dents person single clew to his iden-
tlty, unless it was to be found in the
cards in his wallet-Philadelph Rec

Turkeyless.

1t was the morning after Thanks
giving.
Laughing gayly, swapping" nuts
and raisins saved from the dinners of
the day before, the merry children
romped into school and took their seats
at the sound of the bell.
"And now, Children" said the sweet
faced teacher, "who had turkey for
their Thanksgiving dinners"
81! 1! Me! Me! l did, teacher"
came the shrill replies from scores
of little throats.
But one little boy sat silent.
Little Johnny Jones, for it was he,
sat silent.
He had had no turkey for his
Thanksgiving dinner.
Seeing him, the kind teacher called
him to her desk.
Poor little johnny she said.
"And so you had no turkey"
"Naw," was his reply, 'nuthin' but

or not. hope it won't storm so as to
hinder John from gettip' here; but, la!
he'd come, rain OF shine"
There were three silent prayers for
absent Luke Garth, offered that night;
and all the next morning there were
three pairs of eyes keeping watch
for him, but he came not.
The oldest son came early, with his
family with him; the great dinner was
set on the stove, and the Garths went
to hear the Thanksgiving sermon.
In half an hour after they got home,
the brown fowls We're smoking on the
| table, and the little ones chattering
| gaily in anticipation Of coveted wish
| bones.
Poor Luker' said Mrs. Garth. g!
wish he was here to eat some Of his
favorite chicken pie"
| "I'll take n piece, motherw
They all screamed and looked to-
ward the door, and there stood the
wanderer.
| With five or six pairs of arms
around his neck and the children
shouting and baby crying, Luke Garth
| felt he was, indeed, welcome.
When at last they released him, and
| after wiping their eyes, crowded
around him to get good look, they
saw how much older and handsomer
he had grown.
"Now. my son." sobbed Mrs. Garth,
"tell us all about where you've been"
I'm afraid the dinner will get cold,
mother; so, if you please, Wen eat and
talk together"
So the tale was told how, after be-
ing forbidden again and again to
think of entertaining his desire to &C
to sea, Luke ran off and shipped in
the navy. He had just got back, witt
six hundred and forty-three dollars
prize. money, and felt like a rich man
But above all, mother, I'm hearth!

father, and my happy home, once
more, and never again will leave 1t.
"Amen" said Mr.. Garth; and they
all echoed it; and spent happy day
and lifetime together.

KinIey and Roosevelt.
Fate is peculiar. 1t knows better
than we do what is best for US. 1t
fxes our destiny without our knowl-
edge, and often against our will, says
Leslies Weekly. William McKinley's
most vigorous battle was his contest
tor the speakership with Thomas B.
Reed, in 1890, which Reed won. Ac-
cording to custom, Mr.. Reed made his
distinguished opponent chairman OF
the ways and means committee, and
thus it was that the protective tariff
measure drafted by that committee,
largely through the influence OF Mr..
Mckinley, came to be popularity known
as "the Mckinley bill" This made
Mckinley the champion OF the work
ing masses, the candidate Of his party
Cor president, and finally gave him Il
triumphant election and reelection fer
the Office OF chief magistrate. At the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia, a little over year ago
the party leaders of New York insisted
that Governor Roosevelt must accept
the tender Of the vice presidency. He
resolutcly declined. insisting that he
was entitled to recollection to the gov
ernorship. The party leaders nj New
York, aided by those Of Pennsylvania
and ecveral other states, forced thu
nomination Of Roosevelt, and thol
compelled his reluctant acceptance

A friend of mine who has a genius
for thinking up pretty ideas Of enter
tanning has planned such charming
surprise for her family party. She has
been obliged to take some of the
young people into her confidence, but
none of the older relatives will be let
into the secret. She has an ordinary
city house, with the dining-room di-
vided by portieres from the parlor,
and, after dinner is over, it will nat
urally happen that the portieres VIII
be tightly drawn for the table to be
cleared; none will suspect what a
hurry and scurry is going on behind
the curtains, and it won't be long be-
fore at signal they are pulled back
and an impromptu stage is seen.
A series of tableauX will now take
place, each representing some scene
that has happened in the life of some
one present. Children will be able to
represent their parents, and n pretty
picture may be made of a mothers
and fathers first meeting by their
son and daughter. A marriage in the
family may be reproduced; parting
and reunion, and other events
which have been epoch-making to
those who took part in them. | am

delightful surprise to the on-lookers;
and what a quaint idea it is.-Anna

now and get EN-" rising from his seat
by the kitchen fire, and going out.
He returned in a few moments, with
q couple Of splendid golden beauties,
which he laid on the table, and was
about to sit down, when Mrs. Garth
again spoke:
"Where did you put them apples ~
ooh! 1 forgot" he replied, apollo
getically, and he turned to go down
into the cellar.
"Pick out some of the choice pip
pins, and jest fetch up a jug of cider
while you're there" sang out his wife.
The old man sighed as he shut the
door, and Mrs. Garth sighed too, but
in Il different way.
"That's jest like your father" she
remarked to her rosy daughter,
Mary, who was busy chopping meat.
HE alters acts low-speerited, as sure
as Thanksgiving comes, and don't
seem to recollec' there's heaps Of work
TO do. I've been at him all the week
to have them pumpkins and apples
fetched in, and the cider drawed, all
ready, and you see how he's forgot it.
'Taint no use frettin' after Luke. Eff
he wants 10 see us, he'll come home
eff he don't, lie won't"
"How long is it, mother, since Luke
went away"
-Four years last week, and that's
what makes your father think of it
alters at this time. 1t come so sudden,
Luke's goln' off, that he hain't been
the same man since"
"E"th@r ] was very fond Of Luke"
said Mary, softly.
"No fonder of him than I was, I
reckon" answered her mother, quick
ly; "but there's no use in frettin and
cryin' over a son, who thought so lit,
tie Of you as to run away
Mrs. Garth shut her mouth hard,
but Mary, who never before had heard
her mother say so much on the sub
iect, ventured on another remark,
which had been lowering on her
tongue: = ~
Mother, nobody ever was loved
I, more by Il child than you were by
Luke. He has lain in bed many a
night when lie was q child, crying fol
: fear you might die and leave him; and
l don't believe that anything keeps
him back now but fear that you nc
longer care for him."
Mary stood looking at her mother
for a sign OF relenting from former
hardness toward the erring son.
The last rays of the setting SUI
streamed in through the western win
dows, and lit up the old kitchen a!
if it were a good omen.

The Washington Star says that the
fact that our language is spreading
over the world at an amazing rate
emphasizes regret for its numberless
defects and increases the desire for
needed reforms. One OF the worst de-
fects is that we have many words
which, while differing in photography
and meaning, are alike in sound. For
example, 'rowed," rode" ''road;"
write" "rite," fright" wright" Is
it not surprising that foreigners some
times acquire pretty good knowledge
of English?

poultryman of the Northwest sent
several barrels of fat, dressed turkeys

who is an extremely "close buyer"
and never fails when he receives a
consignment to CLAIM an allowance for
something alleged to have spoiled on
the way Heretofore, he had dealt
exclusively in live fowls, and probably

The belief entertained by many per-
sons that arsenic is used in dangerous
quantities In the coloring of dress
goods and wall paper, is not well
founded. according to the MassRchu-
getts Board of Health. The Bay State
has a stringent law on the subject,
providing that there shall not be in
dress goods or other articles of dress
more than one -hundledth of q
grain to the square yard or in other
materials or articles more than one
tenth of a grain to the square yard.
The board. after an investigation,
finds little il any ground for invoking
the power of this law, only one piece
of cloth being found to contain more
than the statutory allowance of ar
senic. AS compared with conditions
existing ten years ago, there is very
little complaint regarding the use OF
arsenic in dyeing or in coloring wall
