Granny's Pumpkin Pie.
BY ISABELLE MORTON.

At grandma's house Thanksgiving day
We have the mostest fun.
We watch her stirrin punkin pies
An bake 'em till they're done.
We're sure to see her sprinkle In
The queerest kinds of stun
Till Joey shouts, 'Oh, Granny. dear,
I'm sure that's more than 'nuff"
She makes US each a saucer pie.
An curis 'em round the edge,
An. oh, 1t most makes Janey cry
To eat a tiny wedge.
She'd like to keep her punkin pie
Forever n a day.
But for a strappin' boy like me
l know better way.
1t don't take long, you just can bet,
For me to eat my turk.
To stun myself with cranberry
An men to get to work.
Those punkin pies Of Granny's make
| tell you can't be beat.
I'D like to eat ut Grannys house

world a fellow could stand 1t all the time
he couldn't understand, Suddenly his
small nose shifted the air. and a grin
stretched almost from ear TO ear. In the
house that he was passing a turkey was
roasting. Before the eye of his imag gina
ton rose vision of his own dinner plate
that would await him on his return from
the foot ball game-heaped with his favorite
dark meat accompanied by ma shed potatoes
floating in gravy. The placid line of the
grin disconsolately dropped. Thanksgiving
without turkey! Shrimp's forehead knot
ted into a frown. Why did he persist in
thinking of such unpleasant things when
this should be one of the jolliest days of
the year. He would turn into a business
street, get away from homes whose savory
smells must remind him of Chris and the
disappointed kids.
He hurried into Market street and came
to an abrupt standstill. On the corner was
a provision store and in front of it swung
a huge placard with flashing red letters.
