THE THANKSGIVING
 BASKET

WN OB placed the big basket be- NIX tween his feet on the floor and
 looked out of the window of
 the train.
 In Bob's basket was big Thanks giving turkey, surprise for the folks at home. There was no turkey in the basket which man who sat next to Bob placed on the floor between his feet. What was in it Bob discovered when he undertook to surprise the folks at home He surprised them all right enough, bu, he surprised himself also. for he found that he and the man had somehow changed baskets and that instead of a turkey he had brought home a bottle attached to 6 fine boy baby.
 Dire was Bob's disappointment, for the turkey his mother in his absence had provided was far inferior to the one he had unwittingly exchanged for the baby.
 Bob's mother took the baby to her arms and her heart. and, to her credit

the avenue he saw q street car pluDg- ing along, and on the rear platform stood the kidnaper with the wrapped up baby in his arms. Bob had not a cent for car fare, but he dashed after the car as if he owned the street.
 The car gained on him in spite of all effort, but the man did not seem to have observed him. At last 1t shot out of sight, but Bob did not falter. He was not far from the ferry, where tie car stopped.
 The boy got there, almost exhausted, but determined still. A ferryboat was just going out Regardless of big po- liceman and a ticket seller, he darted past them on to the pier and down blanks like bullet, with the police man behind him on an elephantine charge. and caught the boat just as 1t was beginning to move from the slip.
 Now, who should be on the boat but Mir. Ray himself, just going home aft CT Q hurried visit to police headquar- ters. Bob's desperate spring for the deck had made him an object of gen eral attention. and his cry of That mans kidnaper" diverted 1t to the man with the baby in his arms.
 Seeing himself detected, the man, still holding the child, sprang from the rear of the boat into the water. Bob unhesitatingiy sprang after him. On the deck everything was in confu- sion on the instant. and MT. Rays voice in tones of strong emotion, dom- mating the babel, had such an effect tLat the wheels were stopped, the baby and Bob rescued and the kid naper hauled on board the police boat. which appeared among crowd of others.

Her Thanksojyino,

Oh. have you got the turkey picked, And is the oven hot And ready for. the pumpkin pies? I'll have to bake a lot. And currant cakes and ginger snaps, Of each heaping tray. Our boys and girls are coming home To spend Thanksgiving day. I'll make some sugar cookies too. They used to like them so When they were little toddling things It seems so long ago! And apple tarts for daughter Jane With eyes of tender gray. She's bringing both her babies home To spend Thanksgiving day I rose before the peep of dawn, l had so much to do, But never have I felt so spry. Though 1 am sixty-two. To cook and bake and boil and brew Seems only just like play With all the dear ones coming home To spend Thanksgiving day. l thank the Lord who gives to us The sunshine and the rain That here in one unbroken band l see them once again Our children and their children, too, All hastening to obey The voice of love that calls them home To spend Thanksgiving day.

 Why, Abe Lincolm, chile, what is you talkin' about? Hab I done brung you up to ask sich fool questions! Don't de good Lord say as how we mus be thankful for our marcies ebery day?" answered the old woman, look ing up from her ironing board at her small grandson. who was pairing pota- toes by the stove.
 But. granny, you said as we be too poo for any sort O puddin', and eff we got cabbage an bakin dat's all we might 'pect, an I do Tub a puddin' mighty we'll" And Abe seemed ready to set up wall of sorrow.
 Tt am fearful sin to Tub a puddin'. De good book says you mus Tub your enemies. boy. but it don't glib us no 'couragement to keer fur tings fur our stomach" granny replied severely.
 'I ain't got no enemies to Tub 'cept dey is de boys on de nex' street dat calls me de bowlegged nigger kid an' kant Tub 'em as much as a pud- din nohow. l do so want real bad de sort Miss Gray done sent me las Kis- mus when broke my leg
 Plum puddin'. Well. you air mighty bilious to want dat. but you keep on with your potatoes. an granny will see what she kin do.' declared she more kindly as she stared at her crip- pied little grandson. the last one left of her once large family. "I'll done gib Abe Lincolm spree" she thought as with flash of joy she called to mind a pudding of the old time.
 And this is the pudding that delight ed little Abe's heart on Thanksgiving and made him feel as if he. too. par ticipated in the feasts and good things of the day:
 Cut up two cups of bread fine, half a cup of chopped suet, half a cup of molasses, one egg, one cup of raisins, one cup of sweet milk in which half a teaspoonful of soda is dissolved, half a teaspoonful of cloves. one teaspoon full of cinnamon, pinch of mace and salt. Boil two hours in tin pudding boiler. Eat with foaming sauce. which is made thus: Beat half cup of butter to cream, add one cup of granulated sugar apd stir until 1t is white and foaming.

 q must be off at once," he said to his wife. ito look for another job" ''On holiday" she exclaimed. "The sooner the better" said he, and he scarcely more than skinned his newspaper except the columns of Help Wanted-Males."
 'Nothing there." he observed, with a sigh. Never mind, mother; there's something somewhere, and I'll find it."
 Scarcely had he gone when Bob pick ed up the paper and in a moment more gave shout.
 There! You've walked the new baby" said his mother, hurrying to the rescue.
 Listen to this! It's the very baby, I do believe"
 It was short dispatch from May vile. sent out late the previous night, to the effect that Mir. Rays son and heir was missing with his nurse, and great fears were entertained that the Shllu udu Dttu SIOieu duu WAS DeIUE held for ransom.
 Then came knock on the hall door which checked Bob in a war dance. He opened 1t and was almost brushed down by the man of the railway cars, who was standing there with a big basket on his arm and who dashed into the room like wild man.
 Here's your wretched turkeyw he cried. "Oh. you're the boy who chang ed baskets with me, are you? Lucky your address was on that basket. And here's the infant. the beloved baby. If you've not treated it well I'll prose. cute you for kidnapingr'

A TURKEY DRUNK"
An Old Time Thanksgiving Custom
 Which Is Happily Now Obsolete.

An Old Time Thanksgiving Custom
 Which Is Happily Now Obsolete.
 "I remember when I was boy that one of the great features of Thanks giving time was what we called the 1 turkey drunk" says native of west err New York. "Folks didn't seem to kill their Thanksgiving turkey in those days until the forenoon of the day 1t was to be eaten, and it was the GUS tom to get the bird most gloriously drunk and kill it while 1t was in that condition. They used to say that 1t made the turkeys last moments on earth happy and made it's approach ing death a matter of unconcern to the bird. More than that, it was be- lieveG that the brandy they filled the turkey up with gave the meat flavor that no bird that died sober could ever have. I don't know whether that was so, but I do know that can't get any turkey nowadays that has the pecul- iarly delicious flavor those brandy soaked birds of my beloved boyhood had. The turkey drunk was great occasion. It was witnessed by the whole family and all tho invited guests, if there were any. Two hours before killing the turkey the head of the family would fill teacup or tin cup or sometimes a small gourd with brandy. This he would take out to the poultry yard where the turkey which was to provide the Thanksgiv- ing dinner would be cooped up by it. self in one corner and place it on the ground in front of the turkey. Those fowls appeared to be fond of brandy, and the doomed bird would gobbe up the intoxicating liquor with the relish of confirmed old toper. Sometimes a particularly large and fat turkey would drink the entire contents of the cup.
 "As soon as the bird was through drinking it would be let out of its coop, and in less than three minutes 1t would be staggering about the yard with as elegant jag on as any round CT ever enjoyed If the victim was a gobbler his efforts to maintain his dig nity under the influence of his load were as funny as circus clowns. Steadying himself by an efforr. he would throw his head up. thrust his chest out, lower his wings till they dragged on the ground and then try to strut among his hens with the domi- nnnFinn of His strut invariably ended in his fall. ing ignominiously on his nose, and his struggles to regain his equilibrium were equal to the drunken gymnastics of Toodles.
 '"The exhibition the intoxicated gob- bier made of himself created unmis- takable surprise, if not disgust, in his harem, and the hens would draw apart in groups and watch the antics of their lord in shocked silence. The turkey never failed to get drunker and drunk CT and at last would totter and fall and give up to the influence of the liquor Then was the time to kill the bird, and it's head was cut off while the turkey was in it's stupor. That | custom is fortunately obsolete now. l don't think it would be very inspir- ing sight for one to witness nowadays, but in the old times the stiffest teeto- taler didn't seem to see anything wrong in making the Thanksgiving turkey drunk. l suppose that would come under the head of cruelty to ani. mals now. At any rate, 1t should"
