by young ladies' and young men and

Their eyes languidly observe every
man and boy In the plaza, and they

AFTER THE TEMPEST.
The Genial Calm That Settled Over The
Pretty Schoolma'am.

A pretty schoolma'am once taught

the young fellows for miles around
were mad about her. but the school,
ma'am was proud. and none of the
boys seemed to stand the ghost Of a
chance.
Young Jim Brown. the judges son.
was the best looking chap In the
town, and Jim probably loved the
schoOlma'am more than any of her
other SWANS, but he never hard the
pluck to declare himself He felt too
small and mean before the beauty and
learning of the schoolma'am But one
day. the schoolma'am being away on
visit In New Fork state. Jim asked
advice OF the editor. The editor said:
Take the bull by the horns and In.
sert an announcement of your forth.

So Jim inserted an announcement to
the effect that the schoolma'am and
he would be married the next month
and would spend their honeymoon at

fare for the November holiday have been
greatly increased in number or variety. Your
hearty diner demands on Thanksgiving the es-
sentials such as turkey and celery and cram
berry sauce and pumpkin pie, which were the
stand-bys Of the feast In the days of his father
and his grandfather before him. The point is
that some of the eatables are unquestionably
more favory than were their counterparts OF
several decades ago, and-with all due respect
to the kind that mother used to make-some
Of the modern recipes seem to put it all over
the old-timers In garnishes and the prepare
ton of buildings and pastry. etc.
And, speaking OF the changes that have
come about, take the case of the toothsome
turkey, headliner of the whole holiday menu.
It would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who revels in
his milk-fed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode
Island or the middle west, that his forefathers
ever enjoyed anything so delicious. Certainly
turkeys have increased in size, too, judging
by the average weight those that find their
way to market. However. this latter develop
ment is clearly traceable to the tendency or
turkey raisers to devote themselves almost
exclusively to the Bronze. the largest Of the
six standard varieties of turkeys.
However, there are two sides to this turkey
story, and the housewives who preside over
small families are the ones who have had
brought home to them the Instantaneous
side of this boom in the size of turkeys. With
the big bronze birds weighing from 16 to SO
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former figure-crowding the market
it is becoming every year more difficult for
the buyer of a family of two or three people
tn find a satisfactory six, seven or eight pound
turkey. 1t really begins to look as though the
small families would be driven to hotels on
Thanksgiving or else be compelled to take IN
hoarders or entertain all their friends at the
holiday dinner.
Turkey buying, too, is the phase OF the
Thanksgiving marketing where the increased
cost of living most severely pinches the man
with the stationary income. A dweller In any

What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being FOL
lowed today on the Thanksgiving dinner
menus.
We know that some things were lacking that
they must have greatly missed There could
have been no butter, cream, milk, cheese. or
any dish that is principally made with milk
because there were no COWS in New England
until 1923, when John Winthrop, later their
worshipful governor, brought over four COWS
from England. The butter and cheese tnat
they took with them on the MayhoWer were
long since consumed. | hardly think they mao
chicken pie for the feast, for the fowls were
served as a rare delicacy for the sick. Ihey
could have had eggs for their pies and puo.
dings. Since they raised pumpkins they mlgh'
have had pumpkin pies, if they made them
with water.

Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EN
HIBiT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload Of grain in straw, grasses
and other of the products Of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one OF
the best displays Of the agricultural
products of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
a great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and ~caulifower are shown.
1t is true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken III and h
bulk of that now to be had lies north
Of the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is a large guam
tity of open prairie i~nterspersed by
beautiful groves of poplar n willow.
Water is in abundance, hay is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage Of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie prope feel
that they have the advantage Of their
brother, who is not able to secure fuel
and the other conVeniences of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good, and some won
derful crop yields of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these will not be ready for
distribution at the land show com
mencing on the 18th of November
and closing on Dec. 9Th, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to
you as soon as thew are published.

Menu of First Thanksgiving Feast

mouth, and the Indians went out and shot a
large number of them, and made them their
contribution to the feast. Governor BRADFORD
says in his history that they were delicious
to eat. How fitting it is that the bird that Is
the crowning glory of our Thanksgiving board
should have been the favorite meat of that MIS-
toric first Thanksgiving dinner!
There we're, doubtless, onions, beets, pars-
nips, cabbage or colewort. squash, and perhaps
other vegetables, for a good variety OF seeds
were brought over from Holland. perhaps
there was succotash, and the Indians must
have made it, for it was something that the
Pilgrim cooks had never heard of before, ana
we know that they learned later from the In
dams how to make it. Now, what did they
have for dessert, I wonder? | think they may
have had some sort of pudding with buckle
berries for plums. | doubt If they had much
sweetening for their pudding and pumpkin
pies. as their stock of sugar and molasses was
very limited. Perhaps they had a substitute.
There were fine wild grapes in the woods. and
they had doubtless dried a store of wild straw
berries, cherries and plums. They surely dld
not have any mince pies, since the Pilgrims
thought mince pies were very wicked, ana
savored of Romanism. So they condemned
those who afterward made and ate them

The Cats Thanks
giving Soliloquy

I'm just about tired Of waiting
For my Thanksgiving treat;

And they eat, and eat, and eat.
They do not think Of poor pussy.
Who has had so long to wait;
Why doesn't some one remember
That it's growing very late.
And haven't l smelt that turkey
Since into the oven 1t went?
If they'd give just one drumstick,
Why, then I'd be content.
But no, they sit there talking
And laughing aloud with glee;

Would throw down a bone to me.
There's that greedy little Teddy.

And that turkeys growing smaller
At a very rapid rate.
And see Jacks face! IT'S shining
With gravy up to his eyes.

When they hear my hungry cries.
Oh. dear! There's dessert to follow,
The buildings and pumpkin pies
And the fruits and nuts II candy.
And oh, how fast times flies!

And a grateful cat she'll find.
