And yet the turkey, roasted fair,

That he could not you'd stoutly swear,

The berry sauce all radiant CLEANS
Like bushes coyly set;
The celery modest seems
As any violet
And there be pies and pud dings, too.
So finely wrought and small,
That serious harm they scarce could do

a mammoth turkey. Around it's

of the turkey proved to be neat

contained a dainty box, inside
which reposed beautiful watch,

Martha was happy. She had
been longing for watch for

Farmer Wheeler's prediction
came true, for the next morning
it was still showing, and the wind
was busily piling up great white
drifts. "Twon't be a pleasure

objected to Martha delivering the
milk, but Martha explained that
if she went for the doctor, she
might as well peddle the milk

So Martha bundled herself up.

triump phanl, drove through the
almost deserted streets to Doctor
Browns house. That jolly IN
dividual WAS more thnn amazed
to see her.
"Why, where did YOU drop

,obrrly. "IJ took lots of muscle

When she had stated her err

urged her to come in and rest.
"Oh, no. | can't" exclaimed
Martha. "l've got AL the milk

I'll tell your mother you won't

want you to get sick, too, on any

Martha promised to return, and
then set out on her rounds.
When she opened the door OF
Mrs. Juds0n, her first customer,
that lady stared as though she
saw a ghost.
"Mercy sakes, child" she
cried, catching her by the arm
ard seating her in chair by the
stove. How on earth, or the
snow, rather, did YOU get here 2"

"She didn't want me to peddle

doctor, aud | thought folks
wouldn't get along without milk
on Thanksgiving day, anyway.
How much do you want ?"
"1'll take five quarts" answer
ed Mrs. Judson, her heart aching
for tired Martha. "I'm going to

for you've earned it. You're the
only milkman's had gumption
enough TO get around, so tar"
Everywhere Martha went she
was greeted with exclamations of
surprise and delight. In nearly
every instance she was voluntari-
ly paid extra for the milk.
"I'll bless you the last day |

Martha clumped into her kitchen
with the milk can. The baby's
been crying for milk all morning
and | didn't have a mite to give
him. You'd ought to have a
medal, that's what"
When Martha came to the
house where her last customer,
Miss Webster, a maiden lady,
lived alone on side street, she
was surprised to see that the
snow had not yet been removed
from the doorstep. She waded
through, however, but when she
the kitchen door, she was
still more astonished to find some
potatoes, which had been set on
the stove to boil, burning. All
was very quiet, and Miss Web

set out to investigate. When she
opened the door leading from the
sitting room into the hall, she
had no need to search further.
There lay Miss Webster uucon,
scious, with a look of agony on
her face. Martha was seized
with fear, and felt strong i'm.
pulse to run. She onquered
the feeling, and though she had
only a vague idea of how to re-
store an unconscious person, she
got her milk can and dashed
some of the icy cold liquid over
Miss Webster's face, and at
length she opened her eyes. The
poor lady was too dazed to talk
but only moaned about her foot.
Martha tried her best to assist
her up, but found it impossible.
So she made her as comfortable
as she could, and started for help.
AT the nearest house in re-
sponse to her knock, often re-
peated, feeble old lady opened
the door.
"Is there anybody here who
can go over to Miss Webster's
till l get doctor :" inquired
Martha. "She's broken her
ankle, | think" "
The old lady peered at her,
curiosity stamped on every fea
ture. Hey ?" she cried in the
loud tones of the deaf.
Martha repeated the question
several times. She finally learn
ed that the old woman was the
only one at home, so there was
no help to be had in that quarter.
In her excitement, Martha had
actually carried the milk can to
the door AS soon as the woman
spied it, she asked eagerly "Got
any milk ?"
Martha nodded.
"Give me two quarts" said the
old lady, and though Martha was
in great haste to go, she com
piled.
In the next house an Irish
family lived. Before Martha
could ask her question, Mrs.
Mulcahy caught sight of the
milk cart.
"And is it milk we've got ?"
she asked joyously. "The saints
be good to ye, child, for bring
ing it. I'll take three quarts if
ye plase."
"She's foine lady," said Mrs.
Mulcahy when Martha stated her
errand, "and faith, darling, it's
meself would be glad to do some
thing, but Timmy's got the
measles, and my man amt home
neither, 80 what kin | do, at all,
at all ?"
Martha concluded to waste no
more time, but go directly for
the doctor. Fortunately DR..
Brown had but just returned
from the Wheeler farm. Leav
ing the milk cart at the barn,
Martha got into the DOCTORS
sleigh, and they drove back to
Miss Webster's. Her ankle was
broken, as Martha had guessed,
and she assisted the doctor while
he set the fracture When he
had finished, he said:
Now, little girl, lust stay here
while longer till | can get
somebody to come and take care
of our patient, and then, after
you're rested, we'll go home and
thankfully eat our dinner.
No Thanksgiving dinner had
ever tasted so good to Martha
before, though she missed her
parents. The doctor insisted
upon heaping her plate at every
opportunity. You must repair
the tissue you've used up today,
child" he explained.

Germanx,s Problem.

The marvellous progress of Germany
during the last quarter century rests
mainly upon the development which
has made her leading factor in the
struggle for the markets of the world.
During this brief period full many a
German town has been transformed
from hamlet of a mere handful Of
people to thriving centre of industry.
The productive power of the empire
has more than doubled. During this
period also her artisans have been fed
from the granaries OF the United
States. 1t is no reflection upon the
German people to say that this supply
of cheap food has been and still Is q
factor of paramount importance in
her industrial development. German
soil, which is not especially fertile. Is
unable tc furnish food for the rapidly
increasing population OF Germany.
When two decades ago Bismarck adj
vocated high tariff upon foodstuffs.
Germany's home supply of food was
more nearly equal to the demand than
1t is to-day or will be tomorrow. The
fact is that the expansion OF German
industries has been accompanied by
a growth in her population that has
outrun the increase In the productive
power of her soil.-Gunton's Magazine.
