Mr.. and Mrs J. H. Mead had an old.
fashioned Thanksgiving yesterday at
their home in West Rutland. When the
large brick house was erected 10 years
ago, there were several freplaces built
in the walls OF the house and brick
oven in the kitchen So far as can be
learned by the surviving members Of
the family, these had not been in use for
about 70 years, 50 il was decided to pre-
pare Yesterdays dinner, as far as pos
sible, in the old fashioned oven and to
open up the freplaces.

The Life Of aCow.

At any minute the girls are
just as sapt not to swoop down
upon a calf and say they want
to have their pictures taken do
in g the branding act. That settles
it. Poor little cal6e is thrown
and held down while the irons
are applied and the picture TAX
en-, and the sorrowing "Bossie"
mother COW stands by helplessly
pleading for her baby. When it is
released and goes running to her
side it is really pitiful to see the
way the maternalinstinct shows
itself when she licks it and tries
to soothe the place thai hurts,
1t makes you wish that you had
bought a bottle of liniment;
bundle of bandages, ice bag and
hot water bottle. But that is
what COWS and calves get for
being what they are. 1t is plain
" evident their lives were never
intended to be all a bed of roses.
If it is not one kind of trouble
with them 1t is sure to be some
thing else and if they are not
finally knocked in the head and
killed for the market they are
pretty apt to die in the bog or
from starvation, thirst or cold.
So let us save our tears and
sympathy for something not
predestined for such a life of
hardships and try to assist in the
work of the Salvation Army or
the campaign against child labor
and white slavery and prohibi-
ton and things.
AS the sun goes to bed he sheds
his last rays upon the lowing
herd in the distance and on the
cowboys and girls galloping
over the hills to town.
Next day when you ask your
self if it hurts a calf to be brand
ed just take look at your own
reflection in the mirror and gaze
on your sunburnt countenance
and ask yourself if it hurts to be
"listered.

AN ARIZONA ROUNDUP BY

"Rena, you and Glad let me

Cora" she exclaimed.
"All right they chorused, and
before she could focus the instru-
ment they were all three stand
ing straight up in their saddles,

Everybody and everything was
kodaked; even Mrs. Marley
posed eating a bowl of salad
from under her sun bonnett.
Chydi, the Indian cowpuncher,
was not so easily pursuaded to
face the kodak, for there is very
strong superstition in his mind
against such antics. But even a
stalwart Navajo IS helpless with
three such sirens as Glad, Rena
and Cora to fight, so the groop
was snapped, the cowgirls with
their arms around the Indian to
hold him in place.
How can a girl expect to be
asked to be led to the altar when
she deliberately interferes with a
mans good cup of coffee? But
reckless Rena never let that
thought stop her when she took
a notion to put salt in young

ly a chase ensued in which he

A Chuck Wagon Dinner.

ne forenoon IS all QeVOC6Q TO
"outting the herd" as the cow
punchers term it, and getting all
the cows with calves to brand in
one bunch and those which have
already been through the ordeal
in another.
After this piece ofartistic work
has been accomplished and the
Hon w. has o. K. ed it, all
ears are strained to catch the
glad tidings when he announces:
Lets all go have some dinner"
With a loud burst of enthusi-
asm the hungry band makes a
wild dashfor the "chuck wagon,
and Charlie, the Swede cook, is
soon swamped with a rushing
ing business. He selects pictur-
esque spot with a background
of overhanging rocks and pre-
pares a most satisfying repast.
No French chef could have orca-
sion to put on a broader grin OF
triumph than this illustrous
Charles, when he sees the result
of his labors so rapidly disap-
pearing.
He cooks in Dutch ovens over
a real campfire and arranges the
articlts of his menu in a straight
line, beginning with the coffee
pot Next comes the roast meat,
once eaten never to beforgotten;
potatoes that can not be imita-
ted, good gravy, which never
gees begging for attention; stew
I'd corn, tomato es and beans
that disappear like magic, and
last, but not least, the biscuit.

IF the staff of lite is amply suffici-
ant to appease an ordinary sized
appetite, but everybody partici-
Lating in the dinner usually
takes another one and several
more.
Each individual is given a tin
plate and cup, a black iron knife
and fork. and told to help him
self, cafetera style He goes down
the line ae often as he is able to
make it and get back to his seat
on rock, ard stops at the back
of the "chuck wagon" where a
temporary buffet has been inau
gurated. Here Mrs. Marley. a
very important member of the
family, with heart correspond
ing in size to her 800 pounds
avoirdupois. deals out in large
shares pies. cakes, salads, her
donation to the dinner.
Her presence means a success
ful roundup. for the boys anc
girls are always provided with E

that where she is other gooc
things are sure to follow; anC
her carriageful OF friends, neigh
bors and interesting looking
packages starts a grin of salts

Gle whenever she appears.
After the first crowd has beer
fed until it can't stand the smel
of anything to eat, some of it
members go back to the herd tt
relieve the first watchers so th'
latter can taste of Charles vi
ands.
This is the play hour of tn
day. Everybody has been feet
enough to be cooingly happy
and they all get frisky. Of cours
there are always some kodal

fun they do have taking picture

The Branding.

With enough of the gang
mounted to hold the herd, the
others build a fire near by, and
the real excitment begins when
the irons get hot. The men ride
into the herd of unsuspecting
cattle. rope the poor little help
less baby calves and drag them
heller skel+er to their torture.
Visitors and others unacus-
toned to this mode of putting
the trademark on property be-
gin with their "Ohs," Abs"
"Poor thing and similar excla-
nations, and frequently remark
II wonder if it hurts"
Needless to say, they are al
ways assured it does not by those
who seeeit more often. But when
the calves bah, kick and buck
more appealingly, even the old
timers acknowledge it does hurt
them a little. But when you, see
the blood dripping where their
poor little silken ears are cut,
and smell the HAIR and hide burn
ing when the redhot irons are
applied, you soon begin to wish
it were, all over.
More than one individual pre-
fers to be as far away from this
part of the game as is possible
and still not be called a "piker, -
and the farther side of the herd
is quite a popular resort for the
chicken hearted helpers.
Heck" is married now and
settled, down into a model hus-
band, and does not think any
mere of branding cattle than the
florist does of plucking a little
nosegay for one ofhis customers.
But the sporting spirit of the
cowpuncher's life asserts itself ut
times and he can not resist the
temptation of riding an occa.
sional calf backward when he is
through initiating it into the
Marley herd.
