"Thanksgivinx wigwam.' -

The Puritan and Pilgrim settlers who
inaugurated celebration Of Thanksgiv-

one Of his institutions-in short. the
native American wigwam. We are
told many tales of the architecture OF
the Long House" and see examples
of tepees and other Indian huts In their

An invitation given so polite, l can't
refuse" replied the turkey man.
The turkey man was not grabbed at
all. lie was the jolliest among a jolly
crowd, and told more funny stories
than any Of them. After they had done
more than justice to the turkey and
the pies and cakes, and while they were
cracking nuts, the turkey man said:
This has been a prosperous year for
me, but I am more thankful for being
In the midst Of the happy faces which
surround me now than l am for any
thing else"
Each one around the table, excepting
Teddy. mentioned something they were
thankful for, and Teddy's mother said
she was thankful for having two such
children.

Thanksgiving Dinner.

When autumn winds again blow keen,
And frost is biting in the air.
Then eager appetites, l ween,
Turn to Thanksgiving fare.

Spread out before us piping, hot,
Our hearts make fresh and young once

Alas Our stomachs, not.
And so the meal we eat with zest,
Nor reck of Indigestion's pranks-
The sorry wag will have his jest,
And shrivel up our thanks.

that the attempt to form an opposl-
tion had failed and that the Republi-
cans would not join the Democrats In
voting the Morris differential amend
ment on the bill. The Speaker was as
sured that the sentiment among he
publicans was to stand by the Speak
er; that 1t would be impolitic to have

ginning OF the session.
