Mother" called Bob and Roy from
the back yard, "can we have these
two pumpkins for IanternsT
"Oh. what large ones. Yes. boys
You may have them. They are toe
big for pies" answered Mrs. Phillips
from the doorway.
The boys continued their work oi
gathering pumpkins. and only one was
found TO match "the twins" I'm size.
Wen make a lantern tonight out
OF this one. Bob. and save the twins
till Thanksgiving eve. Ther WEI have
some fun" said Roy.
~ say. Roy. let's 90 and scare those
people down In the hollow. Hold II
up to the window and then run. The
boy who lives there hit me with n
front tooth, and I've never had a
chance to pay him back"
"AlI right. Bob. wen do IT."
Early in the evening the bOys worked
industriously at their lantern, cut
ting eyes nose and mouth. Then lit
tie pieces Of candle were placed inside,
and IL was truly a hldeOus-looking
thing Mrs. Phillips. who was busy
preparing the Thanksgiving dain,ies
for that glad day. did not notice the
boys stealthily leave the bOuse. She
deSpised n mean action, and Bob and
Roy knew she would not approve Of
their unkind sport They quickly
crossed the fields and walked down n
hill into Il lonely. damp hollow. Right
before them stood small, tumble
down house with n feeble light shining
from one tiny window. The boys crept
to this side and crOuched beneath II.
Just as Bob was about TO raise the
lantern after he had lighted the can
dies, n chlld's voice asked anXiously:
Mother, aren't we going TO have any
pumpkin pies or turkey or anything
nice on Thanksgiving? We had such
a lovely dinner last time. Is it be-
cause we aren't thankful that we can't
have any Thanksgiving dinner"
There was pane of glass broken
oIt OF the window, and the boys could
hear every word. Bob softly lowered
the lantern and put out the candles.
and both waited TO hear the answer.
"No. darling; the reason is that we
haven't any money TO buy such things.
Since father died, deary, II has been
very hard for mother to even buy
bread for u.s.
Then a boyish voice with brave
note in II spoke:
Never mind, mother, Wen get along.
| don't like pumpkin pies very well,
myself, because they're SO spicy But
I'm going TO buy Bess bag OF sugar
cookies with that ten cents earned.
Won't that he nice, Bcssie?"
Roy plnched Bob and they both crept
mp the hill and into the pumpkin field.
Seeing the twin pumpkins cleaning In
the moonlight both sat down on them. |

With word or two to say
After gran nav asks the blessin'.
Jest before he starts to carve.
It's Joke. We think it's funny,
If we didn't we might Starve.
It's something about Turkey
Gettin' all mixed up with Greece,
An how the combination
Means disturbance of the peace.
Every year we're all attention:
Not another word is spoke.

When our gran paw tells his Joke.

FATALLY HURT BY
 TRAIN AT WOODWARD
w. S. Greggs Seems to Have Been Lying on the Tracks When
 GtrIIrk

w. s. Greggs, an employe of the Wood ward Iron company, was run over and mortally wounded shortly after midnight by a train of the Woodward company Both of his feet were cut in two, the right leg manged, his skull fractured and he sustained bruises all over the body. An engine and three cars rolled over him, almost rolling his body into jelly. He was still living, however, when he reached the city on a Bessemer car, from which he was transferred to an am- bulance from Shaw & Co.'s establishment and rushed to St. Vincents hospital.
 Greggs is single man and boarded at Woodward, which is about one mile from the intersection with the Bessemer street car line at Brighton, where the accident happened. According to those who reached the wounded man just after the accident he had evidently been drink ing. A flask of whisky was found near him between the tracks. Flagmen on the freight train say he was stretched out in the middle of the tracks and that the cars were upon him before they saw him. They signaled the engineer but all three cars, which were being switched, passed over him before the train was brought to q stop. The engineer of the train sent for Samuel Stewart, superin tendent of the Woodward Iron company. and MT. Stewart arranged to have the mangled man brought to the city and taken to the hospital. It Is not believed he will live until daylight

IT CHARMS THE EYE. Notable Display From Parker's Green Houses at the Alabama State Fair.

One of the most pleasing as well as notable exhibits at the Alabama state falr is the display of the growth of John l.. Parkers greenhouses, on the man noor of the exposition building The vivid green and delicate foliage of the orna- mental trees and plants and the beauti- full colors of the flowers make restful spot for the eye in the wilderness of ex- hibits. The display is worthy of special mention because 1t comes from green houses which represent the most ap- proved ideas in horticulture and horicul- ture. These greenhouses are at Helena Station, adjoining the fair grounds, and and well worth visit
 John L. Parker has been recognized for years as the leading florist of Birming- ham, and the completion of these green houses will greatly enlarge his facilities for serving a patronage which extends over Alabama and adjoining states. The florists and horticulturists in the employ of Mir Parker are experts. Flowers for shipment are packed with such care that they keep fresh and fragrant for days. Parker's floral designs are always artis- tic creations mad society folk frequently request suggestions from the mass to dec oration schemes for functions. Such sug- gestions are always given cheerfuly. and this 4alacrity and good will accounts for no small part of the wide popularity which MT. Parkers enjoys as florist.
 Parker's central flower depot is in his big down town store in the Woodward haailAinR.

THOUSANDS SAW
 THE HORSE SHOW Musical Ride Was the Feature and May be Repeated A VARIETY OF CLASSES The Crowd Left Too Soon to See the Musical Ride, in Which Num-
 ber of Couples Took
 Part.

Fully 5000 people witnessed the begin ming of the horse show last night, but the crowd had faded to about l00o pefore tho best feature of the evening was pre- sented, the musical ride. In this event ten couples took part and 1t was a very pretty drill and one that might well be repeated some other night during the horse show.
 The other classes were well filled last night, several of the events having be- tween twelve and fifteen entries, and the Judges were confessedly at a loss several times when it came to deciding between the horses.
 There was more of variety in the events last night. Beside the regular events such as were shown the first night, there was a potato race for the boys riding ponies, a pony class for boys under 13 years of age, the musical ride and a class for lady riders, in which there were several entries.
 The Musical Side.
 The musical ride was participated in by nine couples nearly all of whom were in the party of w. P. Woodbridge and who live in or near Columbia, Tenn. The women were all attired in neat riding
 
 habits and the men in black coats and white duck trousers tucked in leather leggins, the combination being very ef- fectiye. Several of the couples were also entered in the lady rider class In which the lady was accompanied by gentle man on horseback.
 In the musical ride were Walter Wool dridge and Mrs. Eugene Long, Miss Long, Miss Brownie Tomlnson and Al Flemming, Miss Mamie Baugh and Mir fleet Figuers Mir. and Mrs. J. T. Harlan, Miss Eunice Lee and Bascom Began, Miss Annie Barrow and Flynn Thomas, Miss Nell Chain and Dr. Wilkes. and Mrs. Forgey and John Sowell.
 There is a movement on foot to give the ride again Friday night and include number of Birmingham couples. AL ready several couples have stated that they would take part in such a ride If one was arranged and people interested in the horse show have taken the matter up. Another effort will be made to get the members of MT. Wooldridge's party to remain in Birmingham and give the ride
