With grateful hearts let all give thanks.
All lands. all stations and all ranks.

For what shall we give thanks today?
For peace and plenty, busy mills,
"The cattle on a thousand hills"
For bursting barns. wherein Is stored
The golden grain, a precious hoard:
Give thanks.
For orchards bearing rosy fruit,
For yielding pod and toothsome root
And all that Goo declared was good
In hill or dale or field or wood,
Give thanks.
For water bright and sweet and clear,
A million fountains far and near:
For gracious streamlets, lakes and rills
That flow from everlasting hills;
Give thanks.
For summer dews and timely frost,
The SUMS bright beams, not one ray lost;
For willing hands to SOW the seed
And reap the harvest, great indeed:

bits make their winter home under low
scrub bushes of hard wood and hunt
for food under the dead leaves which
have been blown from the trees during
the fall frosts. These mounds of

used as snares, and it is indeed a wise
rabbit who can escape the trap.
A liberal supply of whole corn and
oats is used as bait for the rabbits,
being scattered under the leaves in

provisions for the evacuation of Adri-
anopIe, nor do they mention the mat
