In all other respects Weary Willie

Impromptu Thanksgiving Dinner and
What 1t Did to His Band.

"Ughn grunted the big Navajo chief.
"White mans Thankgive; him eat
heap; Injun stay hungry; no big eat for
Injun."
Spotted Horsetail was sad and sore.
Three hundred braves were in his
camp, with many squaws and papooses
all hungry. Those who know any
thing about Indians know that Indians
are always hungry. And now it was
the white mans Thanksgiving day, as
the railroad agent the entire popula-
tom at Broken Ridge had Informed the
chief. Excepting Uncle Sans salt
pork and canned beans there was little
to eat on the reservation. Spotted
Horsetail was disgusted.
"Whoop! Hi-yi-yiw yelled three
young braves, riding in at wild gallop
from the railroad. Their faces were
smeared with what an eastern tender
foot would have called war paint, but
in truth 1t was California raspberry
Jam. orange marmalade, molasses and
other sweets.
"Heap big eatv' yelled the riders.
"White mans dinnerW
In three minutes every buck Navajo
was mounted and off toward the rail-
road, followed by the women and chill
dren afoot. Near Broken Ridge q loose
rail had thrown ten freight cars eff the
track. Each car was loaded with the
delicious fruits, fresh and canned, of
southern California, bound for the east.
When the cars rolled down the en-
bankment they broke open.
Spotted HorsetaiPs band gulped
down whole cans of strawberry pre-
serves. They fished into big tins of
sugary peaches and swallowed the
fruit whole, like large raw oysters.
They drank the maple sirup as If it
were firewater, and the raspberry jam
went the way of all sweets. Whole
bottles of olive oil added to the tur-
moil in their stomachs.
By nightfall 267 Indians were stretch
ed upon the Arizona sod, out of COM
mission. They were exceedingly sick
at the stomach. An ambulance train
from the nearest division town sum-
moned by the Broken Ridge agent by
wire brought a score of doctors.
And every day for six weeks there
after came Spotted Horsetail and a
squad of braves. who sat silently along
side the railroad track from dawn to
dusk Finally a freight train slowed
up one day, and the head brakeman
held council with the chief.

SIXTY DAY THANKSGIVING.
Spectacular Fetes of the Wine Dress

ers of Vevay.
"Our Thanksgiving day." said the
Frenchman. 1--WE don't call any of our
fetes by that name, but we might as
well. The finest Thanksgiving day
celebration | ever saw took place at
Vevay in 1899. 1t was organized by
wine dressers, and the magnificent
pageant lasted sixty days. The idea
of the fete was to reproduce all the
familiar objects and phases of local
life and work.
1.-THE festival was opened by a great
chorus singing the national hymn. The
abbot delivered an impressive speech.
Ballets were danced in the great mar
ket square-a ballet of the reapers,
ballet of the grape pickers, a ballet of
the Fauns and Bacchantes, a ballet
of the spring and dance of Ceres and
Pallas. Floats, exquisitely decorated,
represented the dairy industry, the
millers work, the grape picking and
wine making, spring and autumn. Mu-
sic, color and grace marked this glori-
fication of agriculture, labor and pa
triotism 1t all meant the same thing
as your Thanksgiving day." New

You are accustomed to associate gor-

l am afraid you will hardly believe
that In the farthest east pure simple
ity is the emblem of sanctity. Indeed,
In this sanctum sanctorum of japan
there is nothing to excite your earthly
notion of magnificence. 1t is only a rec
tangular room of no extraordinary size
under a matched roof of rice straws,
situated off the innermost wing of the
imperial palace. After passing through
halls and corridors, where the pictur-
esque arts of Japan greet you every
where, the contrast is strange, as you
enter this little shrine, with plain wood
ell floor and walls and ceilings, shorn
of any ornaments.
But stay awhile. There come in the
assistant officers of ceremony, in short
gowns and broad trousers, both of
white. and wearing square pieces Of
stainless fabric over their noses and
mouth that the human breath may not
defile the articles of sacrifice. They go
about transferring their candlelights

1t Resulted In Strained Relations
and HystericaI SObs.
"Now," said dear old Grandpa Smith
kins, I'VE are family that sort Nv
keeps in touch with our relations, and
yit we never seem to really git to-
gether Here we are all alone in this
great big homestead. What do you say,
mother, to us having big sociable
family reunion and love feast Thanks
giving dinner? Well invite all our re-
lations. old and young. What do you
say to that?"
Grandma Smithkins' cheerful face
fairly beamed. 1T will be the very
thingv' she said enthusiastically.
So the big table was set with forty
covers All the male and female
Smithkinses, cousins, uncles, aunts and
nephews, sent fraternal acceptances of
the invitation, and for a week Grandpa
and Grandma Smithkins kept their
servants working overtime.
Thanksgiving came, and SO did the
relatives-just In time for dinner.
Grandma and Grandpa Smithkins hug
ged and kissed every body, and dinner
was announced
Uncle George was placed next to
Cousin Charley, who had borrowed $50
of his uncle and had never returned it.
Aunt Emma was placed next to Cous-
In Fanny. The latter had married into
family Aunt Emma considered be-
meath her.
Brother-in-law Hardupp Smithkins
sat beside Uncle Gottmoney Smithkins,
who had foreclosed a mortgage on
! Hardnpp.
Aunt Caroline and Aunt Jane were
close together. They always quarreled
on woman's rights
Uncle Abner and Uncle John were
respectively tariff revisionist and ''stand
patter."
Cousin Mary and Cousin Matilda
were placed side by side. They had
had a property division quarrel ten
years before that still existed in law
suit.
Uncle Mumford and Nephew Henry
were table neighbors. Uncle Mumford
had allowed Nephew Henry's note to
go to protest.
Even the American boys who regard
ed face washing as q task rather than
pleasure were sandwiched between
Aunt Stuckupp Smithkins' eight Faun-
tleroy dressed sons.
Finally Uncle Bill, whom everybody
thought was in Jail and who had not
been invited, came in intoxicated and
made a few remarks apropos of those
present and their failings and in about
five minutes
"Well." said dear old Grandpa Smith

ancestor of our revered emperor de-

says the tradition.
You can well imagine what hal
lowing association arises within him as
a Japanese stands reverently looking
up into a disk of mirror shining forth
through green foliages of sakaki, which
is the symbol of sanctity. Once, there
fore, you enter into the spirit of the
place you will feel it's very simplicity
and plainness become pregnant with
air of strange sweetness. OF elabo-
rate candle frames of gold and silver
there are none, nor the heavy smokes
of incense. But the soft fragrance as it
waves out uncertainty from pillars and
posts and floorings of unstained cedar,
smoothed and polished under skillful
slide of joiner's plane until they shine
out of their own beauty, more beauti-
full than hard coats Of paints and var
nish-how agreeable And as you watch
those ancient lamps burn in serene
steadiness you imagine you are stand
ing in the lowering presence of unseen
gods.
But here comes the master officer,
with strange hat and in strange cos
tune. He proceeds to the altar in
measured steps, and there follow after
him a train of underofiicers holding up
to the eyes level wooden trays of
strange make, each heavy with a pile
of first gatherings of the season. In
this tray there is a heap of first grains
of rice from the imperial field, where
the emperor himself sowed the seed in
early summer, and In that pair OF
