FOR LITTLE MEN AND LITTLE WOMEN
A COLONIAL THANKSGIVING.

At last Thanksgiving. with all its pleasant home
associations and known to every w-EugIander
dawned as the sun from behind the hiltops cast
its welcoming rays a typical New-EnGland
scene. Here and there We're scattered hamets con-
sisting of several rude hats. which the Pilgrims
found very difficult to construct. they had no
tools with which to work.
Richard and Ruth awakened at o'clock
by the joyous peaIng of the meeting-house bell
and. after partaking of some breakfast they pre-
pared for service
II was a solemn procession that wendell its way
toward the quaint meeting house to give thanks
for the great harvest. When at last they reached
the church a long sermon awaited them for the

among the children, evidently wide awake like the
rest. for Thanksgiving Day no time TO doze
After several hours had passed the serIuon came

cook. opened the door. and they were greeted by
a smell OF savory turkey
Soon the guests arrived ana took their places at
the table, where spread before them were the best
products a New England farm could produce. for
the stuffed" turkey cranberry sauce and home
made pumpkin and mnce pies were all there.
Very little conversation carried on during
the meal and good part Of the afternoon was
spent before the guests finally arose from their
seats ne parlor was given to Richard his
sister and several young friends whom they had

glow of the burning wood the hearth.

EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY.

The old saying that every dog has its day seems
to be well exemplihed in canine high society, for
the fashion in small dogs changes every year or
two, SO that during the last few decades almost
every breed has had its turn. woman whose
family has always been dog lovers was enumerat-

is because they have real lattced windows under
