THE THANKSGIVING DINNER.

Place cards for the Thanksgiving
dinner are to be had this year in the
shape of miniature pigs, others are
turkeys and geese. Some of these are
hand-painted, while as silhouettes they
are very effective against a white
cloth, and may be readily manufac-
tured at home.
To make some laughter, IL is an ex-
cellent idea to take the initials Of each
persons name. and with these as mi
tial letters write a phrase descriptive
Of the person who is to occupy that
place. Thus. a mans initials are Il.
NJ, and as his hobby is well known
10 his teasing hostess, he finds a card
on which is written Everlasting Mu-
SIC" A girls initials may be- for in
stance, A. l.. F.. and amid much
laughter she rs forced TO accept a place
marked "Arrant Little Flirt," and so
on all around the table until each per-
son finds or Is assisted in finding his
or her place.
Another method Of initial treatment
Is TO write verses Qf the hostess Is
poeticaD, each line commencing with
one initial of the victims name.
A pretty idea is for each guest 70
write Thanksgiving sentiment or a
cause for thankfulness on slip of
paper. These are collected IN a bowl
and drawn forth and read one at a
time, while every one tries TO discover
the author.
For the center Of the table a basket
woven from wheat stalks and filled
with fruit Is most effective. Yellow and
red are pre-eminently the colors for

A CHILD STORY.

The New Orleans Times Democrat is
responsible for the following child story,
which, it declares, is also a true one:
A mother was prospecting in her back
yard the other day, and ordered a
fenced square. used formerly for the
confinement of puppies. but now de-
generated into a catch-all Of rather
untidy nature, torn down. 1T will
enlarge the lawn" she averred. Her
boy of 3 years put his hands I'm fold
over his breast. Mammal You are
as worse as the Russians. You are
never satisfied. You have a big lawn
on one side Of the house, and big
lawn on this side of the house, but
you must have this little Manchuria."
The boy, adds the Times-Democrat,
that is early instructed in the use Of
the morning newspaper will never be
caught mapping.

MOTHER AND HOME.

In the marriage vows the
little band of gold placed on the
BRIDES finger by the groom is the
pledge that the husba I'D has en-
dowed the wife with all his
worldly goods; that she has an
equal interest in them. Yet
with many who say, "With all
my worldly goods thee endow,"
the words mean nothing, and
every dollar spent by the wife In
personal adornments.or conven-
fences about the house is grudg-
ingly given, and we dare say if
some wives of this community
spent as much for sweetmeats
and bon bons and ice cream soda
as their husbands do for smoke
each year, there would go up a
howl you could hear for miles
from the husbands with extrava-
CANT wives; and if the wives
and daughters of this community
spent as much on chewing gum
as the husbands and brothers do
for chewing tobacco every year,
the bridge would be full of men
jumping into the river because
their wives spent SO much money
foolishly. Now we believe when
a man asks young woman to-
become his wife, and the rela-
tionship is consummated in mar
riage that the wife has an equal
share in the finances of that
home. Many wives slave and
work for life time. Where
you find one extravagant, you
will find ten careful and econo-
mical.

Flock Of Turkeys Drunk.

Soldering up after a bad night of
it the fine turkeys on the farm of
Joseph Hendrix, near this place,
are going around today showing
every indication having a bad
headache. Some one had mixed
whiskey with their food, and for
a time the actions of the whole
flock were something scandalous.
Mr.. Hendrix came to town
yesterday to make some purchases
and open negotiations for the sale
of one of the fattest flocks of
turkeys raised in this section.
When he was away some joker
fed whiskey-s soaked corn to the
turkeys. On his return Mr.. Hen
dirk found his household in great
excitement, the women having
locked themselves up in the gar
ret.
The old gobbler, they said, had
suddenly gone crazy, and the
whole flock followed suit. They
gobbled, fought, tore around the
yard and then, one by one fell
dead. If Mr.. Hendrix didn't
believe it he could look out in
the back yard. There, lying
where they had fallen in all
sorts of helpless positions, were
the turkeys, all stiffened out.
The farmer examined them, and,
finding no trace of injury, decid-
ed they had been poisoned.
Hendrix, with a heavy heart,
worked for an hour digging a
trench deep enough to hold ~
fat turkeys. He tossed few of
them in, then reached for the
gobbler, when that old fellow
opened one eye. winked at him,
then went to sleep again. In
vestigation showed every turkey
was blind drunk. Later they all
recovere d, but were in danger of
bursting from drinking too much
water in SOLDERING off .-Fayette-

Numbering Trains.

"When railroad man informs
you that when such-and-such a
person is running on train 7 or 8
now, if you knew anything about
the system of numbering trains
you would not ask in what direc-
ton he is running, for the num-
bers tell that in themselves"
said Mr.. Redmond Walsh of the
Missouri Pacific.
"All the roads on the North
American continent have an
agreement about the numbering
of trains that is never deviated
from.
con roads operating in a north
and south direction, like the
Iron Mountain for example, all
trains running south are num-
bered with odd numbers, /, 3, 5,
Z, and so forth, while the north
bound trains BEER even numbers.
2, 4, 6 and so on. The roads
operating in an casterly or
western direction number their
eastbound trains with even
numbers and the westbound
trains with the odd. Trains are
also numbered from the lowest
number up, and not at random as
many people suppose, so that if
a time card shows trains num-
bered 430 or $50 it means that
there are at least that many
trains of all kinds actually in
daily service or the road.n

THE SUNSHINE OF THE HEART.

No home is complete without
cheerfulness, order, good humor
and laughter. For every good
hearty laugh we indulge in there
is day taken off our age.
Why take life so seriously.
Can we not labor as well or bet
ter, accomplish as much, and
enjoy life more as we 60 along,
if we keep on the watch for every
possible opportunity for a good
biood-stirring, pulse tingling
laugh?
Let wives and mothers put
away all the wrinkle-producing,
skin-withering feeling of envy,
spite and hatred: let's make up
our minds to enjoy life as long
as we live, and to live as long as
we can. A good laugh is the
sunshine of the heart, and cheer
fulness and mirth bring forth
the blossoms, and their fragrance
sweetens our lives and the lives
of those around us. AS daughter
is the best of medicines" let's
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-06-16

partake of it freely and look on
the bright side of everything. If
our seat is too hard for us to sit
upon, let's stand up; if rocks
rise before us let's climb over
them. Be the Martha that is
needed in every home.
A good side-splitting laugh
will soon penetrate through the
GOODNESS of society and bring
men and women nearer together,
and makes heavy hearts forget
their burdens and be glad. 1t
might be possible for us to direct
our ways by plain reason and
support our life by tasteless food,
but God has given us wit and
flavor and laughter to enliven
our days, and to "charm our
painful steps over the burning
marl." A well regulated sensi-
BILE Martha is certainly a great
comfort in a home. She is 'tscare,
full and troubled, perhaps, but
she doesn,t make a fuss about it
She does not worry. If she
scolds, you never hear her: she
is mistress of herself, and moth
ing distracts her: she believes
there are few women who cannot
be trained to govern home il
they will be in earnest, be cheer
full and set their minds to it
How many mothers plan thei
work so as to give some time t.
the amusement of their children
How many believe that good
wholesome article of fun is es
sential to the comfort and healtl
of boys andN girls? There i
nothing wrong in wholesome fun
and it is really necessary in thu
training of children.
