But he followed, and once more he
was dragged through mudholes and
creeks and over stumps and rocks
until his shins and nose were skinned
and every part of him was sore.
At last they emerged on road and
in few moments they were at No
abs front gate and the mean man hur-
ried to bed.
The next morning he could hardly
get up, because he was so sore. But
he crawled out to feed his turkeys

heart nearly stood still. There was
not single, solitary turkey in the
place.
He stood with his mouth open, won

picion entered his mind He limped
as fast as he could to the back, and,
sure enough, there he found great
holes in the walls of the houses.

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 a home and
hearth turn gladly to 1t for rest and
refreshment of body and mind, and,
whether present or absent from the
home circle, that is the center and in.
SEPARATION 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.

The poor man, whose name was
Bill Lego, made believe to agree
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

But l do not know the way through

THE FESTIVAL OF HOME.
Thanksgiving Pre-eminently 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, 1t 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 boys 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

ored festival serves to punctuate their
