lkSyA EAI don't have many real

MHH XII Jane Hamilton to Ma
YNdE Nj tilda Crawford, one Of
~ GEt2 y her neighbors. Il could
.&s count my annual pleas
- ures on one finger on
one hand, and now for this year that
is gone" -
.Why, goodness gracious, Aunt
Jane! What do you mean?' and Ma
Ailda looked the genuine sorrow which
IN her neighBorly heart she felt.
81 mean that the Lord saw Mt to
take from me my last turkey last
night, and now can't have the Ham
ilton family to the regular Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. Mighty little I'll have
to be thankful for this year, and all
my, invitations out, too. Now I've got
to go In and write letters to tell them
ali not to come"
Aunt Jane Hamilton's Thanksgiving
dinner had been the wonder OF Pnii-
ipsburg for many year. She was q
widow whose husband had paid the
penalty Of his devotion to his country
at Gettysburg. Before his marriage
John Hamilton had built big, roomy
home for his bride about half a
mile from PhilipsbQrg, and that <yas'
all that was left her when the bullet
ended his life. Here she had lived,
ever since, eking out living from
the poultry she raised, and the small
pension paid her quarterly by the gov
ernment.
Aunt Jane had never been blessed
with children, but both herself anl
John had been members of large fam
lilies. 1t was to all Of these brothers
and sisters, and to their families, that
Aunt James invitations to Thanksgiv-
ing dinner went each year. Annually
they came trooping into. Philipsburg
for the family reunion and feast; NIL
ing the big house from cellar to gar
ret, and overhowing to the yillagethos'
telry. 30 1t was that these thanks
giving dinners were looked forward
ITO, not by Aunt Jane alone, but py
the whole village Of Philipsburg.
AS Aunt Jane sat at her dining-room
table preparing the % letters that
were to stop the coming of the rela-
tiyes, Matilda Crawford was passing
from hnrso to house telling of the

that clung to his very small ami

was dearer than the little nieees from
whom she had caught this way Of a.
dressing him. Perhaps that was De'
cause her face against the pillow
looked so much like that other face
that was the lovellest in the world to
him. But how could he be a com
:orter when he was in need OF com
fort himself"
"It's too bad, Maisie, but you aren't
the only one who has had hard times"
he said. II didn't have any Thanks
giving, either, and don't feel as 4
should ever have one again"
Maisie's brown eyes opened wide.
"why, Uncle John; you went to the
dinner. Mamma said 50. And You

ror MS own use.
In the meantime that host Of rela-
tives who had grown to look upon the
ANNUAL visit to Aunt James as not
sto-be-missed pleasure, were taking ac-
ton. Her brother-in-law, Walter Ham
ilton, was prosperous lawyer in New
York city, who for 20 years had never
missed one Of these, family reunions.
He received Aunt James sorrowful
note on Saturday, and took immediate
action. His first move was 70 get

must have understood his look, for she
came softly toward him, with cheeks
as pink as her ribbons.
"Oh," cried Maisie, as It snapped.

want to get It. l have everything
want this Thanksgiving. ! meant
you to get your wish, Uncle john"
Il have everything that ! want, too'"
answered Uncle John, softly, as ne
looked at Aunt Ruth. "This has been
the best Thanksgiving ever had int

It was the old hen turken who spoke
these words In her efforts to console
her progeny, who were crying with
envy at beholding the gay plumage
Of the peacock.
But in few days. my children
we'll all be Killed to dress"

the various college departments and
buildings, the governor showing a
deep interest in the work of the in
stitution, commencing the many
evidences which which came to him
of the completeness and thorough
ness of the work done, and express
ing surprise at its magnitude and
scope.
In the evening some 600 of the
people of Pullman attended the re-
ception at Stevens hall, and extend
ed to him a welcome to the Artesian
city, Numerous visitors from other
points in the county were also pres
ent to greet the chief executive.

left for Walla Walla, where he re-
mained till yesterday, when he re-
turned again to Whitman county, a

banquet at the Hotel Whitman, at
which covers for 100 were laid. In
his after-diuner speech the governor
again voiced his appreciation of the
State College. He complimented
Whitman county upon the success
of the great college in its midst,

DESTROYING PLANT LICE.

The practical counselor for fruit and

Gently offered a large prize for the best
method of destroying plant lice, for
which tifty-eight persons competed
The prize was awarded TO the author
of the following preparation; Quassia
wool two and one-half pounds, to be
soaked over night in ten quarts of
water and well boiled, and then
strained through a cloth, and placed
with 100 quarts of water in a petro.
leum barrel, with five pounds of soft
soap. The mixture is then ready for
sprinkling on plants infested with lice
Leaves, even those of peach trees,
will not be injured in the least by the
solution, which can be kept covered
in the barrel from spring to fall with
out deterioration. AS soon as lice ap.
pear the leaves should be sprinkled
with the solution If it is repeated
several times the pests will disappear

Brain waves Are POSSIBLE.

1t seemed to the speaker possible that
two brains could be so tuned III sym
patty as to transmit and receive sub
tie TRANSMISSION OF mind without me-
diation of sense. Considering that
from an electric station waves Of en-
ergy radiated through the viewless air
to be caught up by receiver thou
sands Of miles distant, it was not in-
conceivable that the human brain
might send off still more subtle waves
to be accepted and interpreted by the
fifty tuned receiving brain. He was in
clined to think that in the treatment of
disease by regular practitioners of med
icine the influence of the mind on the
body was somewhat overlooked or that
insufficient value was attached to it,
