she's comm, poor soul!'
The next morning when Uncle
Isaac, in his Sunday clothes, came
into the kitchen and lifted his chin
high so Aunt Nancy could adjust his
collar button and necktie, the dear
old lady said: "If was you, Pa, I'D
look all over the meetin house an
pick out the lonesomest-lookin per-
son there-anybody you think amt

Did you say anybody, Nancy"
Aunt Nancy started swiftly toward
the oven door, Land sakes! | be-
lieve that turkeys boilin' dry" she
said, as she opened the oven door
with clang and poured hot water
into the sizzling roasting.pan. Her
rosy face peered into the big, savory-
smelling oven.
Yes" she said task anybody you
think looks lonesome"
Uncle Isaac drove off to meeting
with a merry jingling of sleigh bells.
He chuckled to himself as he drove
along. 81 shouldn't wonder If Silas
Plummer would be lookin' kind of
lonesome to-day" he said. Great
guns Who'd ever think I'd take to
matchmaker at my time o. life?'
When the Thanksgiving sermon
had been preached and the last hymn
sung, the congregation moved toward
the doors Silas Plummer buttoned
his overcoat and prepared to go his
lonely way, But Uncle Isaac, unhitch-
ing the old white horse called to him.
Hold on, Silas," he said, don't
you want to ride along with me? An,
say, by the way, Nancy said she'd like
first-rate to have you eat Thanks.

Slas Plummer hesitated-and was
lost. Much obliged, Uncle Isaac"
he said; you and Aunt Nancy are
very kind, but | was calculatin' on

Restaurant nothin'!" cried Uncle
Isaac, jovially. Come, pile in here
an we'll be goln'. Nancy'll be Jest
tickled to DEATH"
But privately Uncle Isaac wasn't
SO sure of that. 'Merciful Moses!" he
thought, "mebby I've gone an put my
foot in it. But we'll wait an see
how 1t turns out, II Nancy scolds,
I'll tell her the poor fellow looked
lonesome, an sure enough he did"
The cutter stopped at the side door
with a jingle Of bells Aunt Nancy
came to the window and looked out.
"Of all things!" she said to herself,
what in the world possessed Pa to

| do? Here's Marletty an there's

from the turkey in question, and
beamed placidly upon Uncle Isaac

Uncle isaac Winters rubbed his
hands together gleefully, and a genia
smile overspread his face, "Jest like

Aunt Nancy sighed a motherly sigh,
and looked thoughtfully at the big
turkey lying across her lap. "'Pears

Uncle Isaac sat down on the edge
of the wood box and looked at Aunt
Nancy's kind old face, "S'pose we try
an make match betwixt EN-" he
suggested Its high time that old
spat of theirn was cleared up, Lets
see-it's as much as ten year, amt

a desperate move. "Marietty," she
said when she returned to the kitch.

Marietta stopped chopping cabbage
and filled her arms with wood from
the wood box. She looked very nice
in her best black dress and lace
trimmed apron. The warm kitchen
had given a flush TO her cheeks and
the pink ribbon at her throat was
very becoming.
She went through the dining.room

Marietta held out her hands, and he

with blushing cheeks. "Oh, Aunt
Nancy, we've made 1t up an we're

She looked proudly up at the tall
figure at her side. Love was in her
eyes-love and pride. And In the
face Of Silas Plummer was a look Of
happiness which had long been a
stranger there.
The dinner was great success.
The big turkey was roasted to a de.
licious brown, the cranberry sauce
was rich crimson, the mashed pota-
toes white as snowdrifts, and the
Hubbard squash golden yellow. The
mince pie was Aunt Nancy's best,
and the coffee was Of her famous

STATE FAIR DAYS
Attempt VIII be Made to Make Salem

An effort OF special nature is to be
made to endeavor to make the special

of that institution this year.
The various days are to be as
fjlIogs: Monday is opening day;
Tuesday is Woodmen's Day; Wednes-
day is to be Salem Day; Thursday is
Portland Day; Friday is Children s

Especially interesting will no doubt
be Portland Day, when the metropolis
will send thousands of visitors to the
fair. 1t is said that this will be done
by the people of Portland because they
are in expectation Of great attend
ance from Salem and the valley
towns at the Lewis and Clark Fair
next year and the people Of Portland
believe in reciprocity. Wednesday is
to be Salem Day and the mayor Of the
CITY is to be asked to issue a procla-
nation to the business men and every
body else requesting them on that day
to all lay aside their business and
other cares and all attend the fair
On Tuesday the Woodmen OF the
World will have an exhibition drill in
the interest of their order and on
Friday, which is Childrens' Day, the
little tots will be allowed the run Of
the grounds free gratis for nothing
but it is quietly whispered that theil

turn out in sufficient numbers on thai
day to make up for the largeness ot
