of nice things you have to be thankful for.
It's surprising how few boys remember
their many blessings. We ara a bad, IN
grateful lot, guess After the praise
service you go with your ma and pa and
sister to somebody's house for dinner. It's
always at the home OF some friend Of your

So the days passed by and formed
themselves into weeks, and the Knapp
household lay under a gloom that was
scarcely penetrable. Each day the lonely
and anxious parents looked hopefully for
a letter from their absent son, but each
day brought only disappointment. Thus
the time dragged by and ushered in
Thanksgiving Day. Almost every home
in the town boosted its turkey dinner and
accompanying merrymaking. Those who
did not entertain friends at dinner were
being entertained by friends, and all was
festivity and good cheer.
But in one house there was no prepare
ton for the usual Thanksgiving feast, the
home made desolate by the absence and
continued silence of Snisk, the thought
less runaway. In the morning Mr.. and
Mrs Knapp had not the heart to go to
church Sally also begged to remain at
home with her parents, saying that she
could not enjoy the service without the
entire family was with her. After break
fast Mr. Knapp went into the sitting
room and tried to read the morning pa
per Sally busted herself about the house
assisting the maid of all work, while
Mrs Knapp went above stairs to tidy up
the bedrooms. But the poor woman did
not get past ner boys vacant room. Go
ing in, she threw herself on the bed and
gave utteranee to her pent-up grief.

Then, becoming calmer, she knelt beside
the bed and prayed-prayed that her boy
would return to her soon. Even while
she poured out her duplication a quick
step was heard on the back stairs and,
before Mrs. Knapp could rise from her
knees, a tall form had dashed into the
room and . pair OF strong young arms
were thrown about her shoulders.
''Oh, my boy, my own child!'' cried the
of her runaway Snick-Snick who had
come with the holiday. "Oh, praise and
Thanksgiving for this!"
Hearing the commotion and mingling
of voices upstairs, Mr.. Knapp put aside
his paper and ran up two steps ut a
bound. At the door leading into Snick's
room the happy man saw mother and son
locked in each others embrace. Here,
let me have a share in this" he cried,
with the enthusiasm and Joy Of a boy, as
he ran and grasped his sons two hands
All, welcome home, son, welcome homer
And, for all the world like a woman, the
good man wept for very joy.
Then Snick stood up, dropping his head
slightly through confusion and shame
Can you forgive me, pap and mama p
he asked, his voice full Of penetance.
For truly l did not realize what It meant
my going of like that But it all came
to me after I'd got too far away to help

On Thanksgiving Day.

There are many things throughout the
year
That 60 wrong with the most Of us,
And cause Us to IVORY, fret and pout
nd make a terrible fuss
For dolls get broken,
And noses, too;
Cross words are spoken
By me-and by you.
We find long lessons so hard TO learn
That sometimes we feel despair:
We think our friends more blest than we:
And often we do declare
That life Is too full
OF troubles chat ray.
And the problem we'd solve
Ia sadly compiler.
But once q year a time rolls round
II IS called Thanksgiving Day.
When the blessings we've had bestowed
on us
Roll back along the way.
Ger memory's road.
And show us quite plain
That we've had much pleasure,
But so little pain.
Ills then we know that the days OF rain
Make clearer the days that are bright;
And the glorious morn Is lovelier still
By following tn gloom Of night.
Thus the many blessings
We receive long the way
mountain make
On Thanksgiving Day.
