CO.'S SOME THOUGHTS
-
5a1 D N US GIVING DAY
u

Not long ago little girl was asked
by another little girl what she usually
did on Thanksgiving day. 81 eat all
can hold of good things" was her
quick reply. That's pity" re-
marked her questioner, for it doubt
less makes you i'll. and does nobody
good Now, enjoy a good dinner,
too, but ! eat In moderation. And
carry basket of nice things to some
poor sick person who otherwise
might not get any Thanksgiving din
ner."
II every child who has a good home
and plenty to eat on Thanksgiving
day would remember the words of
the thoughtful and kind-hearted little
girl quoted above there would be
cause for much rejoicing and thank
fulness on the day that we all look
forward to with so much anticipation.
But 1t is fact. sad to relate, that
too many persons-not merely chill
dren, but grown-ups as well-think of
Thanksgiving merely as a day OF
feasting-I might say of gorging. Par
entG make the mistake OF not remind
ing their children of the needy poor
whose tables are without the good
things to eat on that day OF all days
whom plenty is supposed to be In ey-

err on the porch and there was some-
thing more than graceful greeting In
the gesture.
Wait, good sir. II you please" she
said to the old man before he could
drive away. Tomorrow is Thanks
giving day. May l ask friend to
dine with me here? The good moth
er is willing"
The old man nodded.
your friend will be welcome for
your sake, little lady" he said. and
drove to the barn.
ut goes well. madam mother" said
the girl.
1t certainly was fine Thanksgiving
spread. The turkey was the tender
est, and all it's train of accessory
dishes the most palatable that culin-
airy art could offer And presently,
when the girl had cast final glance
at the clock and another through the
window, the old man was hidden to
the feast.
He looked at the trim young woman
inquiringly as he seated himself.
you spoke Of friend" he said.
Eyes. sir" she quickly answered.
"He will be here Seat yourself. ma
dam. Hark, he is here"
The outer door suddenly opened, q
tall young man stepped into the room
and looked quickly about him. With
swift movement he stepped to his
mothers side and kissed her cheek.
and then drew back.
John" the mother whispered, but
her eyes were on the stern face OF the
old man.
Father" she bravely said. this is
my friend. my dearest friend--wili
you bid him welcome?"
The old mans face was dark, ho
hesitated, his troubled look rested on
the girls sunny face.
Then he spoke. but his voice was
hoarse and scarcely audible.
Your friend is welcome for your
sake" he slowly said.
At that the young woman cried out
and ran around the table and put her
arm about his mock and kissed his
wrinkled cheek.
"Ah. such a Thanksgiving" she
murmured-W. r. Rose. In Cleveland

"And so because I loved John we

stole into the girls and held II close.
Then the luck changed. John is made

The mother arose.

the girl Hush, l think he is coming.

The bent form of the tall old man
appeared In the doorway.
