she resugared the oatmeal of Maude, the
larger one of the twins.

Edith Matthews paused before reply

might have been accounted for by the fact
that Mabel, the other twin, insisted that
her oatmeal should likewise be resugared.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

DAY is peculiarly American, pecu-

day like it. probably other nation would have ever
conceived such holiday. 1t is American all the way
through-n spirit, and in the chief item of the bill of
fare to-wit: the noble American turkey.
Thanksgiving DAY originally agricultural
festival and its bration confined to the par
tcuar locality in nch it originated But to-day 1t
is national. Every true American man woman
child, loves this glad day in which a people pours
out its thanks the Almighty for the bounteous
blessings vouchsafed during the preceding twelve
month.
To-day thanks not merely for good crops
but for the peace of country among the nations
of the world, for the prosperity of every line Of
business and industry, for the freedom from pesti
lence, and the various and sundry other blessings
which q generous Providence has poured upon US.

GRANDPA's THANKSGIVING.

While the Autumn days are calling,
Calling calling sad and drear;
From the trees the leaves are falling,
Falling, falling, brown and scar;
Other days / can recall
Many a bright and happy Fall
But as Memory brings them back again with
soft and hallowed charm,
There's perhaps no thought SO dear
At this season of the year
As the thought of old Thanksgiving days at
Grandpa's on the farm.
Even tho 1t might be showing,
Showing, showing, fast and long,
And November winds be blowing,
Blowing, Neutrality-suspicious. song
Safe, at Grandpa 's-from the storm,
All was pleasant. bright and warm.
Oh, how much there for dinner; more
to eat when were through
And so good-such chicken pies!
Lips are moist as well as eyes,
As / think Of old Thanksgiving days with
Grandpa and Aunt Lou.
And the songs we then were singing,
Singing. singing long ago,
Through the glad, sad past coming ringing,
Ringing ringing, sweet and low;
These. with legends that were told
On Thanksgiving days of old,
As we gathered. bound together by loves
sweet and magic charm
These the heart shall still hold dear,
Who so much enjoyed Thanksgiving day at
Grandpa's on the farm
