PIES FUR THE KING.
Ancient Customs That Arc Still Kept

Ancient Customs That Are Still Kept
Alive In England.
The city of Gloucester. In England,
annually presents the king with a pie.
Almost from time immemorial Glouces-
ter until the year 1894 followed the
custom of expressing its loyalty to the
throne by sending to the sovereign a
Iamprey pie. In 1884 the custom was
suspended. but 1t was revived in 1893
and has since continued.
1t was felt that the year OF the dia-
mond jubilee required some special eff
fort, and therefore the 1897 pie. which
was in May dispatched to Balmoral
upon a gold dish, was Of a more than
usually elaborate character. This pie
weighed twenty pounds and was
adorned with truffies, fine prawns on
gold skewers and aspic jelly. On the
top was a representation Of the royal
crown and cushion. with a scepter TO
which were attached strea mers Of royal
blue, and at the base were four golden
lions.

SHE'LL WEEP NO MORE
the supreme court of New Ye

In the supreme court OF New Y ork
on Tuesday, Miss Henrietta French,
we'll known in this city, was given a
Judgment in the sum of S14 900,
against Davis H. Decker, as heart
balm. During the year 1868 and Il
part of 1909, Miss French and Mr..
Decker were neighhors residing on
the banks of the Minneconjou creek,
in northern Stanley county, each was
holding down claim near Angus.
Mr. Decker was of friendly turn
of mind and thought it a duty
to frequently call upon the lady
"soddies" for miles around, and, if
we are to believe Miss French, he
called at her ','shack" both going
and returning, and on a very hot day
in July, Davis proposed, and she
forthwith accepted. A few months
later Mr.. Decker offered final proof
OF holdings and went to his former
home in New York, where he was
united in marriage to his first love.
Miss French went to New York in
June aud began suit for q f & ma sss !,
fixing the same at $50 900, alleging
breach of promise. She is no doubt
pleased at the decision of the court.

o.-We read in Hasgsi Ii, g, that the Lord>, says-"The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the for rner." Is this the house" or Temple that was rebuilt by Zerubbabel, or what "housey is here referred tor (N. L. ID
 Answer.-The third verse of this chapter shows that the Lord did not refer to the Temple that was rebuilt by Zeruhbabel, because it was inferior to the Temple that was erected by Solomon. The term house" is some times used in the Scriptures in the sense of household" or family ar- rangement It is with this meaning that the Apostle refers to the nation of Israel as a "house of servants" and to the followers of our Lord Jesus as a '.house of sons'' (Hebrews iii, s, e.

SWEET -SMILE-OF-THEWOOD
A Thanksgiving Story, By Paul Woitt

he felt so different and his heart beat with a wonderful joy
 Afar off he heard the beautiful little voice again.
 Blix-it was good of you to come" he heard.
 Then slowly he opened his eyes. He rubbed them, for he was staring straight up at a soft roof of waving green,
 He sat up straight.
 rOh. Little Sweet Smile, Little Sweet Smile," he cried.
 Then he saw her just as beautiful as ever and he marveled at her pretty garb of fringed skins and the f1arine red feather that grew like a shaft of poppy petals out from her black hair
 They were sitting on the bank of a swiftly flowing river, with trees, trees everywhere about them A pretty lit tie birch canoe was tethered to a tree on slope by their feet.
 Would you like to paddle away on the water?" asked little Sweet Smile
 Are there no white people living about here?' asked Billy. hardly no- ticing the question she had asked.

 "Of course,' answered Billy. per plexed.
 No, there are no white people in this land,'' she said slowly You are the first one I ever saw
 T like you very much, though" she added, her smile once again brighten ing her face
 And like you, too, answered Billy Blk, forgetting the mystery 'of it all.
 And they shouted and laughed as they jumped into the bobbing canoe, md They seemed to fly through the wa ter.
 '.Sh--sh," suddenly warned the little opposite bank, and Billy. wondering what was going to happen. let his pad- dle trail in the water while he sat very still
 Little Sweet Smile had stopped padding, and now she reached quietly for bow and arrow which lay at her feet in the canoe
 And then Billy Blk saw. for straight ahead among the lower growing things he saw the heads of wild tur- heys-there were score of thefn
 Whizz went an arrow and one of the birds fell.
 Again did Billy Blk marvel when little et-Smile kindled a fire with the speed of the wind and the great turkey, already stripped of feathers, was sizzling on the spit.
 It was feast fit tor a king there in the sweet smiling forest and when IL was over Little Sweet-SmiIe-in the Wood leaned over and touched her soft warm lips to Billy's cheek.

LINCOLN RECOGNIZED A WoMAN's
 ENDEAVOR.

It ls not generally known that the country owes the establishment of the national Thanksgiving to the able and persistent efforts of a woman and the chIvalric action Of Abraham Lincoln in recognizing the value of her consci- entious endeavor.
 The first national Thanksgiving days were turkeyless and were held in July and May. the first in July, 1775, and the second in May. 17T6. both of which were days of devotion without thought of feasts and games
 Two years of our history saw two Thanksgiving days each, and both were wartime years In 1776, May IT and December Il were both desig- mated while in 1883 Jincoln designated Thursday, August 6. as a special Thanksgiving day. in advance of the sutumnal feast of the last Thursday Tn November. The summer holiday was special thanksgiving for vic tory. as had been, in fact, the only national Thanksgiving day Of 1862.
 From Madiscn-s time to Lincoln's there were no national Thanksgiving proclamations by presidents. although the festival was observed annually in New England and in New York, as also in the scattered Episcopal con gregations, whose Book Of Common A-a- S- SAuNc 1toS 4idu OcS1Stiettcu tue first Thursday in each November for giving thanks in the churches, unless civil authority should designate am other date for this purpose
 In New England. where it had been an institution since 1621, Thanksgiving day continued all the while to out rank even Christmas as a festival of joy. feasting and family reunion
 r. was the persistent advocacy for an established national day of Thanks giving by Mrs Sarah Josepha Hale, in the publications which she repre- sented and the letters she sent to presidents and governors for twenty years. which at last secured for the day through the. kindly offices of President Lincoln its regular observ- snce as been kept up for half cen tury-
