cheerful kitchen was scrubbed.
No sooner did Hannah appear on the
scene with scrubbing brush and go
down on her knees to polish the tioor
than Kris would hop by sort of lad
der which one of the boys had made
for her up to corner of the high
mantel over the fireplace, and there
she would sit, all bumped up and mis-
cradle. till the work was done or till
her little mistress came and took her
into the sitting room.
The place where Kris was intended
to spend the time of her baniShment
from the yard was large chamber
over the woodshed. which was kept
warm by the Kitchen chimney, and
there's where her bed. or roost, was
prepared for her and where she was
shut up every night. But she was so
lonely and unhappy and tried 50 hard
to get out and Margery was so fond
of her for playmate that she gener-
ally got down before breakfast and
did not go back until bedtime, which

Thanksqivinq Day.

Now the turkey roOstinG low
Finds his spirit full of woe:
Notes that popularity
Is not all 'tis said to be;
Wishes that he had been wise
In his corn fed paradise.
He'd by far the wiser been
Had he rested 'mongst the lean;
Had he dieted bit,
Keeping all his muscles fit,
Stead of, like a prideful fiat
Gorging until plump and fat.
See! In state at last he lies,
Thanked ABOUT by pumpkin pies.
Flanked With fresh cut celery,
Giblet sauce and cranberry;
Covered with a pail OF crisp,
Here and there parsley wisp
Lying softly on his breast:
Stuffed with spice and nuts OF chest
Poor old turkey! Victim he
OF his gobbling vanity.
Gladstone day for young and old.
Whether winds be soft or cold;
Day that gives a nation pause
For its grateful "Deo Laus;"
Day that brings us face to face
With the fount of love and grace

That we have a day so rare;
Day from others all apart
Given over to the heart.

ODE TO A GOBBLER
By II. X. Munkittrick

IL hail! All hail! Oh, rare and antique bird
That lately on the venerable tree
Rolled in a ball of sleep, the chill winds heard
Moaning in mournful gusts thine elegy!
No more the sun will gild thy red cravat
Or ripple on thy wing,
For time hath caught thee, even as the cat
Catches the gray and agile whiskered rat,
And now thy praise we sing,
Gathered about the board, serene and gay,
Upon Thanksgiving day.
With joy we see thee lying Oh thy back,
Thy chaste, lush drumsticks sticking il the air;
Thy wings in sweet peace folded and, alack,
The incense of thy stuffias, pungent rare,
Filling our souls with heavenly melody,
The while with fork and krits

For all the good things of this earth

For maidens. melody and mrth
And. most Of all. for money
This is the day when thanks are due
And should be paid with pleasure
While toolhsome turkeys yield for you
gastronomic treasure.

Thy dark meat and thy white meat fondly we
Sutfuse with gravy in our revelry
And then, with pleasure rife,
Each dainty morsel neatly tuck away
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Thou'rt nobler than the canvasback or goose,
The lordly shanghai or the ortolan
Or any other minstrel that is loose
From Tuscaloosa to Cape Mary Ann.
Compared with thee the woodcock is mere
Delusion-all in all;
The upland plover ne'er can be thy peer,
Beside thee to the epicure and seer
The prairie hen is small;
Thou art the bird of freedom anyway
Upon Thanksgiving day.

What Hoch's process or method is,
remains a secret with him. All that
is known about it is the facts that it
does not require hemlock bark, the
most important fact in the tanning
trade, and the further fact that, owing
to the short period required to treat
hide, his method will release the
vast sums tied up in hides for seven
months, while undergoing the process
of being made into sole leather and
Jersey tannery that with fifty men he
can tan 1000 hides day, whereas at
the present time to accomplish the
same result, a force of GOO men are
necessary.
In a roundabout way, in fact by
way of Hoch's German home town,
more than seven years ago two New
York capitalists of large means be
came acquainted with what Hoch was
trying to accomplish. AS his ey Jcii-
ments went on, these men, who have
unlimited means, became more and
more interested in Hoch's work am
for several years back they have
made possible his carrying on expe.
riments in tanning, and it was through
their means that Hoch was enabled
to equip his experimental plant in
New Jersey, where he hae been at
work.
With their further aid and conf
dence, Hoch now proposes to give
