{ weather-cock," the turkeys said
Upon an autumn morning,
Keep good lookout and turn about.
And mind you give us warming.
ave haven't got a calendar
To tell us of the date;
So watch you for Thanksgiving signs
Before it is too late"
why, surely said the friendly bird,
I'll cock my weather eye
And tell you when the pumpkins come
To make the pumpkin pie"
thanksgiving morn the farmer cried:
They've gone-that horrid flock!
There's not bird to cook unless
We cook the weather-cock!"

rode on to warn other people along the
fires track
In a moment all was confusion in the
cabin There was not horse on the
farm but old lame Dan, and with the
wagon gone, what chance had they of
reaching the river?
You must borrow team and wagon"
said grandfather; and without stopping
10 ask where they should go, both Frank
and Scott started off on the run, calling
back for all to be ready when they should
return with way of escape.
Sis stood looking on hopelessly for
minute or two, and then with a look
Of resolution in his ashen face he ran to
the stable, flung the harness on old Dan,
and in few moments later he had him
1itched to the pillow in the stubble field,
where his father had left it in the furrow
the day before. Back and forth, back and
forth he went across the long field which
lay between the creek bed, now almost
empty, and the stone quarry, over which
every blade of grass had been trampled
TO death. The fire was bearing down
upon him rapidly. He could feel it's heat
almost suffocating him, but knowing that
the lives in the cabin were in danger, he
kept on until a wide swath of freshly
Flowed ground lay between the destruct-
i've demon and the little home Then he
ran along the dry stubbles, dropping
turning matches here and there, until
raging back-fire was lighted all along the
line, and the safety of the loved ones in
the cabin was insured
By this time he was exhausted and
cropped fainting in dangerous proximity
TO the fire. Grandfather and the girls
managed to drag him to a place of safety,
and the boys returning a little later, he
was carried into the house and put to
bed, where for several days he was
obliged to lie and submit to being treated
like a hero.
eve have plenty of cause for Thanks
giving to-day" said his father the next
morning, while the boys burns were be-
ing dressed.
And we don't need anything extra to
help us to be thankful, either" added
Ruth, laying her hand affectionately on
sis" head.
eve have found out that nothing is so
bad but that it might be worse, just as
grandfather said" remarked the mother.
"And we have found out, too, that in
times of real danger heroes are towards
and towards heroes" admitted Frank.
eff Philip had not acted while ran, we
would have had no house for which to
give thanks to-day"
"And worse than that-no children to
need the home" said the father. what
u glad Thanksgiving this is, after all!"-

Coward "Sis," the Hero.
By Belle V. Chisholm.

Philip Wilder was coward. At least
everybody said so, and no one, not even
Philip himself, ever thought of contra
dieting the statement From his baby
hood Philip had been afraid of his own
shadow, and as he grew older, the same
spirit of fear characterized his more ma
ture years.
On account of his weakness, the boys,
in his school days, dubbed him Sis" and
Sis Wilder he became, far and near.
There were three other boys besides
Philip in the Wilder family-Frank. two
years his senior; Scott, as many years his
junior, and little Bruce, the baby. These,
with the twin daughters, Ruth and Ruby,
comprised the family of children, and a
merry, happy family it was
Mr.. Wilder had sold his farm in the
East and moved to South Dakota Every
one, from the gray-haired grandfather
down to the three-year-old baby, was de-
lighted with the broad rolling prairie
farm. They talked of it's advantage over
the old hill farm they had left far away
toward the rising sun. The first year
proved to be one of exceptional pros
perity, but the rejoicing was cut short
by the failure of the second years crop.
The coldi late spring was followed by
long dry summer, causing such a scanty
harvest that in many places it did not
pay for the fngathering. With winter
coming ON, and the drought still I'M
broken, it seemed a hopeless investment
to lay out the last years savings for
grain to keep the stock alive until spring
But this was the only thing that could be
done, and on the day preceding Thanks
giving, Mr.. Wilder drove across the coun4
try a distance of fifteen miles, to a sta
ton where -four and feed had been ship
ped, for a supply to last through the
winter.
you must bring something extra home
for Thanksgiving" said Ruth, at the
breakfast tabe the morning before they
| started. 81 think we can always give
thanks better when we have something
specially good to eat"
! 81 don't know what we have to give
thanks for this year." said her father,
despondently.
Don't say that, William" said the old
grandfather, locking up, surprised, into
mis- sons face. Things are discouraging,
III confess, but they might be great
deal worse-a great deal worse" he re-
iteTated.
81 do not see how things could be much
worse" responded Mr.. Wilder, gloomily
IS he arose from the table and started
out to harness the team for his journey

morning was supicious, but no thoughts
Of danger troubled the Wilder children

BRYAN A PERIL TO BUSINESS.

lnasmuch as William Jennings
Bryan is about to make his farewell
political tour of the states which he
once described as the 'enemy's coun-
try" the attention of voters in these
states is invited to the following ex
tract from speech delivered by him
October %, 1896:
Il propose that the United States
shall say that the minis of this coun-
try shall be opened to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver ON equal
terms with gold, and the money
for all debts, public and private And
then | propose that we shall say to
our foreign creditors that we intend
to pay our coin obligations in eth
er gold or silver. propose to say to
those gentlemen that If they conspira
to make the silver dollar worth less
than the gold dollar we shall pay
hem in that silver dollar"
Mr.. Bryan's meaning here is un.
mistakable. His words amount to a
direct threat of reputation. His
free coinage scheme would force a
reduction CT so per cent n the value
of the American dol ar, and then by
compelling the acceptance of that
coin in the payment of all debts,
public and private, he would cheat
every creditor out of just half the
amount Of his claim.
Mr. Bryan has never acknowledge
to the creditor class. He has never
been wi ling to admit that its first
effect would be deadly blow to the
national credi nos has he ever been
able to see that one Of it's inevitable
results would be to swindle the man
who works for living.
1t Is suggested that Mr.. Bryan be
questioned with respec, to his views
on the money question during his
tour of the 'enemys country The
voters Of those states believe in an
honest dol ar. They insist that hon
est debts, whether public or private,
shall be honestly paid. and that the
politician who favors a policy Of re-
pudiation Is an enemy not only of
his fellow men but of his country as
we'll. II, -
Mr.. Bryan's record on the financial
question was written by himself, and
he should be required to face 1t. He
should be confronted with it every
time he speaks in the ''enemy's coun-
try" 1T 10 Legitimate issue in the
campaign and the people have
right to Know whether he proposes
to repudiate 1t, as he once proposed
to do with so per cent Of "all debts,
public and private"

BIRDS DESTROYING TELEGRAPH POLES
And Telegraph Poles Through out the Southwest in Large
 Numbers,

Birds are destroying the telephone and telegraph poles in the south and southwest, particularly in Texas. Ari- zona and California. In some places fifty per cent of all the poles along the .right-of-way nave been riddIed Dv innocent offenders, which belong to the woOdpecker family.
 One of the Western Union officials who has recently returned from an in- spection through the west, reported having seen twenty-five telephone poles with two or three hundred holes drilled clear through them. Some of the holes were three or four inches in diameter
 In some cases destruction of the pole takes only a few months and the weakened condition makes it danger ous for hneman to climb the stick.
 The real objects of the birds in drill ing the holes is uncertain. One tele- phone man said that the hHmping Of the wires was mistaken by the birds for insects excayating beneath the surface of the wood, and that they drilled the holes in quest of these im- aginary insects. It is very probable, however, that the holes are exoayated for an entirely different purpose. The woodpecker is a provident bird. At the proper season it stores up a sup ply of acorns and other foods for flu ture consumption In the summer these holes are often found stored with acoEns
