DAISY'S THANKSGIVING.

NOW, k1tten-cat Daisy, just hear me,
And tend to each word that l say.
And don't frisk around so bout nothing
tomorrow ii be Thanksgiving Day;
AND IL you don't chew up your ribbon,
Nor dabble it round in the snow.
But behave all the time, just as pretty,
You'll have something splendid. you
know.
There's another thing, Daisy, I'll tell
you:
Aunt Mary is coming to-day
10 show us sweet, darling baby
That's named just like me-Allie May.
And If it should happen to squeeze you,
Or pull your long tail the least mite,
You are not to scratch her nor bite her.
For that wouldn't be just polite.
We must do all we can that'll please her.
She being our company so;
Besides, such a new little baby
Amt had time to learn better, you
know.
So if she does tease you, dear Daisy,
Though, of course, 1 don't say it is
right,
Please just get away from her easy,
Not scratching the least little mite.
l s'pose you don't know bout Thanks
giving,
Cause you haven't had one before;
I'll tell you: there'll be big turkey.
And pie made of chickens, and more;
And buildings all full of sweet raisins,
And jelly and jam-such a treat!
And If you're good kitten, Daisy,
You'll get big plateful to eat

THANKSGIVING IN FARMER MAR
STALLS BARN.
By Alice May Douglas.

There were really too many passing
their winter quarters in Farmer Mar
shalPs barn, yet it could not be helped
Farmer Marshall had but one barn, so
into that barn all of his live stock must
go. By the way, he never spoke of those
belonging to his farm as his live stock;
they would have felt insulted if he had.
He always spoke of them as the COWS
and oxen, the sheep and the pigs.
1t was Thanksgiving and the animals
in the barn were having their usual morn
ing chat. Molly, one of the COWS, was
the first to speak, as she generally was.
II suppose there will be lots of company
here today" she began. cit is Farmer
Marshall's turn to entertain his brothers
and sisters this year.
$50 it is" said Ned, the black driving
horse, as he turned about in his stall to
obtain a better view Of Molly. people
everywhere will be having fine time to-
day, since it is Thanksgiving. 1 wish
that we could have Thanksgiving, too"
"Why can't we asked Dinah, the work
horse.
1--WE can" grunted Pig Wig from his
pen under the floor, a board of which
having been removed that he might look
out and see his neighbors whenever he
chose.
FIG Wig sald we can IN Sucn coml-
cal fashion that all Of the others laughed.
Then he went hunting round his pen for
something to eat, although he knew as
well as did all OF the others that there
had not been a single mOuthful there
since last night. AS if a pig would allow
a mouthful a-near him to remain uneaten
so long.
eff we have Thanksgiving, I hope that
we will have a good feast" observed
Romulus, one Of the oxen.

| feast?" inquired Remus, who was the
mate of Romulus and had never been
yoked to any other.
Then the cows mooed and the horses
neighed and the pig grunted and the
sheep in their pen at the further end Of
the barn bleated and the hens from their
pen just opposite cackled, and what do
you suppose all were saying? Why, it
was just this: Farmer Marshall always
gives us good feast"
Well, just then Farmer Marshall came
into the barn, and it was indeed a good
feast that he gave this part of his family.
you dear old fellows, you shall have the
best breakfast you ever had, since it is
Thanksgiving, he said cheerily.
He fed Pig Wig first just to stop his
teasing, for when Pig Wig was hungry
and that was all of the time-you could
never hear a single word from any one
of the others, and it really was generous
basket that Pig Wig received, whole pail
full of rosy apple Feelings that had been
left from the Thanksgiving cooking OF
the previous day. He then gave the hens
more corn than they could possibly eat,
which was saying a great deal, but 1t kept
them from cackling so loud, and that was
something. He then went to the cows
and oxen and horses and gave them their
hay, and the sheep theirs, and at last he
went in to his own breakfast
After the tenants of the barn had eaten
theirs in remarkable quiet, Iightfoot,
the red COW, observed in a cheerful moo
ing tone, "Now that we've celebrated
Thanksgiving with such good break
fast, what shall we do next?"
Pig Wigs head popped up through the
floor, and Pig Wig snorted out, "Pd like
another breakfast, I would"
20, yes, we'd have known that without
your telling u.s." retorted Whiteheece, the
largest sheep of her family Whereupon
Pig Wig retreated into his pen again,
but not to hide his face in shame. o, no;
Pig Wig never was ashamed Of his appe-
tite, and why, indeed, should he be, or
anyone else, whether person or animal.
should think that the thing to be asham-
ed of would be that one took such i'll care
of ones self that one did not have a good
appetite.

proposed Dinah "and tell over all tho
things that we have to be thankful for
to-day"
$50 we might" said the others.
eve may as we'll begin now" observed
Remus, as he used a bit of straw from
his breakfast for toothpick at the table
Yes, and begin at the beginning! So
will say that I am thankful because I
have Thanksgiving day at ALL"
What l am most thankful for" oh.
served Lightfoot, 'is that Farmer Mar
shall has not sold any Of us lie had lots
of chances to make a big penny on some
of us last fall, and 1 was as frightened
as could be for fear he would, and not
one of us would have got so good a mas
ter as he is"
"Of course we wouldn't" said Ned.
And if I should ever be sold I'd run
right back here as quick as 1 could"
so would l." added Dinah. CAS- to

said her fattered hostess, giving a
feeble pull at the tip end, herself.
"There, it's broke and you've got the

"To-to make a centennial bed-quilt.'
You did? Well, 1 guess 1 can help

selves to Luella when Alvina gathered

Clareen had vague remembrance Of

renovation as it received in the next
week. Sweeping and scrubbing, digging

 Perry, Aug. At S:3o o'clock Sunday night the postoffice build ing was discovered to be on fire. The fire spread to the adjoining property and besides the postoffice building three store houses were destroyed before the flames were brought under control.
 It developed later that the post office had been entered and the safe robbed of So7 in money and stamps, and the theory is either that the robbers accidently fired the postoffice by dropping lighted match or else set fire to the place with the intention of covering up the burglary and robbery. w. M. Lewis is the postmaster.
 The following stores, with most of their contents, were destroyed Tom Jones' barber shop, E. A. Davis meat market and Moseley Bros. dry goods store. The loss is estimated at S. 900.
 No arrests have been made. The officers suspect certain parties and are Investigating. An arrest may be made at any time. It was only by hard work that the fire was checked with the destruction of the four buildings.
