A WelI.known Remedy.

One of the Oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

THE FESTIVAL OF HOME.
Thanksgiving Pre-eminentIy the Day
of Family Gatherings.

The good old New England festival
of Thanksgiving is one that age does
not wither nor custom stale. Original
ly, and still nominally, distinctly
religious festival, it appeals to all,
whether old or young, whether pro-
fessedly religious or not, and what
ever may be their religious belief or
convictions.
To college boyg and football teams
the day may seem to be of special sig
nificance in reference to triumphs or
disasters on the gridiron field, but
even to these it carries another and
deeper significance which will grow
with the years. And to those of ma
ture years, men and women past 40,
for example, this gracious, timehon-
ored festival serves to punctuate their

WHEN CUBA WAS FOR SALE.
Offered to France for $6,ooo,ooo In
time of Louis Philippe.

1t is not generally known that
Cuba very nearly became a French
Colony in the reign of Louis Philippe,
for Spain, being without means OF
raising money, Queen Christina Of
fered some of the principal Spanish
colonies for sale.
Secret negotiations were carried ON
at the Tulleries between Senor Cam
puzano, the Spanish ambassador;
Senor Aguado, the banker; Prince de
Talleyrand, and King Louis Philippe,
and the first article of the treaty, ~
which Spain was to sell Cuba to
France for 30,OO0,000 francs, or So
900, 900, was quickly agreed to.
But the second article, relating to
Porto Rico and the Philippines, broke
off the negotiations, for Spain asked
So. .000, 900, whereas France would Of
fer only $1,400,000, King Louis Phil
ippe asserting that the acquisition OF
the Philippines might very easily in
volve him in a war with England.
1t is significant that in those days
neigther party paid the slightest at
tention to what the United States
might think but the Spaniards must
now regret that they did not accept
for it would have saved them many
millions in the ensuing go years.

THE GREAT SANDTOWN TURKEY THEFT
A Story of a Mean Man and a Mean Deed That Was
its OlUn ReUord

Noah Wamskittle was mean man;
Dne of those mean people who hate to
zee others prosperous, even though it
does not interfere with them at all.
He lived in Sandtown and raised
turkeys, like everybody else. He
earned lot of money, because he fat
tened his turkeys well. 1t was his
only generous deed, for he begrud ged
even the food that he gave himself,
and as for others! Well, Deacon Van
dertassel once said that Noah Wam-
skittle was so mean that he would
walk three miles to borrow match
rather than use one of his own to
light hia fire in the morning
Noah Wamskittle did not like Dea-
con Vandertassel at all, and he liked
him even less after he heard this.
So some days before Thanksgiving
day, he went to a poor man in Sand
town and said to him:
you know that we will all have to
ship our turkeys tomorrow. Now,
you have only so and if you do not
get a good price for them you will be
hard pressed for money this winter
Well, know way to make the
prices higher for you. If you will go

Four-Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de.
tect the thief. though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under e
counter solved the problem. He
found bits of paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of. They had entered the till
through hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dis
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

lives, so to speak, and marks the pass
age of years perhaps even more dis.
tinctly than New Years day or birth,
days. For Thanksgiving is pre-emi.
nently the festival of home, the day OF
all others when home ties and associa,
tions assert their sway the strongest,
linking the present with the past and
binding all to the future. All who are
happy enough to have home and
hearth turn gladly to it for rest and
refreshment of body and mind, and,
whether present or absent from the
home circle, that is the center and in.
spiration of their thoughts.
Perhaps to none is the day more full
of associations and memories than to
those who cannot thus join the home
circle. The toiler in the city or in the
country, unable even for a day to quit
his duties, still takes pleasure in
thinking of those at home, and in i'm
agination, at least, takes his place at
the annual home gathering and shares
the pleasure of the day.

twisting and turning, till Noah was
nearly dead and only his great mean
ness kept him going.
AT last, scratched and bruised and
full of mud, weary and suffering, he
fell into a deep mudhole, which,
strangely enough, had been avoided
cleverly by poor but honest Bill.
Never mind" whispered Bill, help
ing him up, I'VE have arrived"
Noah looked through the under
brush, but he could see nothing ex-
cept a black mass of something in the
darkness.
Those are the barns" said Bill.
Here, take this saw and saw holes
into the walls there and l will creep
around the other way and scare the
turkeys so they will come out"
Noah, madder and meaner than
ever, worked hard and sawed big
holes, out of which the turkeys scut-
tied. Then, as Bill scared them up,
off they flew into the woods until the
whole big flock had vanished.
AS soon as the last one had gone,
poor but honest Bill seized Noah and
said: I'VE must hurry back and we
must go the same way we came"
"Oh, dear, oh, DEAR" groaned Noah.

The poor man, whose name was
with the mean man. But really he did
not agree with him at all, for he
came of poor but honest parents, and
was very much like them himself. So
he devised a cunning plan.
That night he went to Noah's house
and said to him: Let us go to do this
deed. But we will have to go into the
woods just behind your house and
work around through them for sew
eral miles, so as to approach the dea-
cons place through the underbrush in
the back. 1t would never do for us
to be SEEN"
THAT is a good idea," said Noah.
But | do not know the way through
the woods"
Il will guide you," said poor but
honest Bill. 81 fear, however, that
you will find it rough going, for we
cannot dare to carry lantern"
He took hold of Noah's arm and off
they went, up and down and in and
out. through thick and thin and thorn
and swamp, this way and that way

At last they emerged on a road and

The next morning he could hardly

While no woman is entirety free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
