to much, 'cept to look pretty. An this
little cuss will take you safe as a
rockin' hoss."
She smiled up at the rugged, kindly
face that was dimly visible by the
flashes of light.
Il shall not be afraid of anything
with you to take care of me. l re.
member how good you were to Dick"
"Sho', now! I didn't do anything
for him. He was mighty good to me
when hit the Stag pile; that is, when
was down on my luck, you know"
Il know what you did," she said,
softly, and her voice was like a strain
of music across the wind that drifted
down from the mountain. He told
me how you were his friend when he
first came to the mines, a 'tenderfoot,
he called it, and how you knocked
out Big Stoker when he tried to play
FRANKS on him. Then he told me
about the time you went prospecting
together on the west slope. 1t seems
to me that have gone over that trail
scores of times. have felt the desert
sun blaze down on me till every drop
of blood in my veins turned to fire.
"And then the climb away up the
mountain, stumbling over rocks and
slipping on smooth slides and scaling
almost vertical slopes, and then the
top, shivering in the cold, freezing in
the sharp Winds"
1T is little coldishlike nights
waitin' fer the sun to rise; but, lordy!
amt it fine sight when she does git
up? It kind O. pays fer settin' round
on top O. the hill tryin' to keep warm
by brush fire that goes out mos as
soon as it kindles."
Then that time Dick slipped on q
glare of ice and fell down the side OF
the mountain into crevice, and you
crawled down and found him there
hurt so that he could not move, anG
you put your own coat around him tc
keep him warm and sat against the
wind to shelter him from it. You SCI
his broken ankle and nursed hin
| through all the days that he was help
You scarcely ate anything in all the
time that Dick could not be moved
lest the food that you had brought fol
the journey should give out and Dicl
might suffer. Then, when he wa.
able to bear the motion. you carried
him in your arms down to the plai,
and to the little station and took car,
of him till he was we'll"
"Sho', now! Did Dick tell you al
! that stuff"
He would have died that time if |
had not been for you"
That's nothin' fer a man to do"
Il think it is a great thing for
man to do. 1t shows friendship, an
think that is not a common thin
in life"

First American Thanksqlvinq.

We have come to look upon Thanks
giving day as one of feasting and
pleasure. 1t may differ from that of
our grandsires, but it's not so very
far from the customs of the pilgrim
fathers who first instituted the custom
in New England. Did you ever have
an account of the first American
thanksgiving? The Puritans were &C.
customed to somber religious observ-
ances. but the spirit of new world
began to change the method of giving
thanks. The transition was gradual,
but occasionally the unexpected was
thrust upon them in very positive
way.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1914-11-26

and individual prosperity, as so often
implied, is to overlook the greater
causes of gratitude. Every now and
then pathetic instances bring out the
heartfelt expression that IF one has
health he has everything" Position
and possessions count for little COM
pared to the simple retention Of
health. So, If man or woman today,
unblessed by possession of the wealth
or prosperity they think they ought
to have, will ponder upon the bless
ing of health or upon the preserya-
ton of the lives and health of those
near and dear to them throughout the
year they must find deeper cause for
thanksgiving than any mere incre.
ment in material things. This is the
true reverence, the genuine spirit OF
thanksgiving. -..--~-.,.. ..---..
But in expressing this spirit in
Thanksgiving services, in gladness and
feasting, it must not be forgotten that
the true thanksgiving must come from
the heart, and will find its fullest ex
preston in kindly act, in considera
ton of those less fortunate and in as
sisting to make others equally thank
full. The thankfulness that is limited
to self is ungracious and unworthy.
Yet even in temporal affairs the ma
ton as whole has cause for graft
tude. No country has been more
blessed with abundance of crops. In
dustrial and commercial condition.
are normal. We have been spared
from any great disasters. AS a ma
ton we are at peace with the world

with confidence but enthusiasm.

Possibly"
Then you won't mind little run

Thanksgiving in the South.

Until the middle of the past century
Thanks giving was practically I'M
known in the South. In Virginia the
first Thanksgiving proclamation was
issued by Governor Wise in 1857.

Dicks my pardner." he said, quietly.

Dicks my pardner," he said, quietly.
Miss Lyleford had heard men say
he is my brother with less of the
finality of self-surrender that was ex-
pressed in the simple statement of the
relationship of this miner with his
friend. She heard a soldier say once
"He is my comrade," with something
of the deep, soft, earnest information of
her escort.
A note in the sound of her voice re-
minded him of a voice he used to
know away back in the years-his
boyhood years-when he used to play
with girl in the schoolhouse yard.
That voice had drifted away in ST.
lence long ago and he had not thought
of it for years, except sometimes
when he lay awake nights and heard
soft wind sweep through the pine
trees. To his ear the wind had an
undertone of sadness, as If it might
have drifted over a grave.
A blaze of lightning lit up the noun
tain pathway. From the narrow ledge
that wound around a steep wall of
rock the girl looked down into the
depths of a canyon that seemed to
open into the heart of the earth.
BALKAN will take you safe through,
no matter how shaky it looks
She looked up into the kindly, reas-
surfing face, and smiled confidently.
Il am not afraid; but 1t all seems
so strange and so beautiful, and aw-
full. It is uplifted so far above the
world that do not seem to belong
to earth any more. l wonder how the
people who are used to such scenes
feel. and if they are not larger and
grander than we who live on the COM
mon levels"
II s'pose most folks are about the
same old bad pennies. no matter where
they live nor what they look at"
How do you know about me so far
away"
"Dick had told me where he come
from. and then, when he was out o.
his head. he talked about you, and I
thought mebbe you lived back where
he did. He didn't talk about anybody
else, and l thought mebbe you might
be all he had, and then sent the
telegram hoping you might get it and
come"
"You and are all he has, and we
will save him."
The man lifted his face up toward
the dark sky.
Eyes, please God, We'll save him."
They had left the narrow defile and
were on a high plateau.
There is Tent Town Just before US.
That is our camp. We have no houses
yet. Will you mind staying in a
tent?"
Il shall love it. I never saw a tent
before. 1t will be such a novel ex-
perience to live in one"
That is his tent that has the light
IN 1t. Away over there, where the
; clouds have divided and there is a
big, white star shining down onto it. u
They fixed their gaze on the white
tent and silence fell upon them until
they had reached the little cluster OF
tents and Daisy's escort led her to the
one next that on which the white star
shone.
This is yours next to his. Bills
taking care of Dick. Do you see the
pink light in the window? That
means he is better. told Bill to put
, that light in the window if he was sc
that you might see it,
She stood for moment in the
doorway and looked over toward the
east, where Thanksgiving day would
, dawn in few hours. How full o.
gladness was the deep, dark night.

wink of his voice." and his own
personally conducted train drew up
beside him. Daisy Lyleford looked
curiously at the strange little beast,
with it's pathetic expression of un-
varying patience and strict devotion
to duty.

she said.

He assisted Miss Lyleford to mount

burro along narrow winding path

o PUMPKIN PIE
BY WILBUR D. NESBIT

o pumpkin pie!
Athwart thy face
A hundred fancies may trace!
l see the CLINT OF summer sun,
And twilight, when the day is done;
The sober peace OF musing cows
Who in the meadow grasses browse;
The radiant glory OF the morn
That sweeps across the nodding corn.
A thousand happy fancies start
When thou art nesting near my heart
o pumpkin piel
hear the breeze
That whispered in the maple trees;
l see the swaying fields of wheat,
And hear the birdsongs, clear and sweet;
And, low across the land at night,
l catch the ballad Of delight
The chant the cricket sings in glee;
And summer comes again to ME.
o pumpkin pie! Thus dost thou cast
Thy joyous glamour DER the past.
o pumpkin pie!
Within thy breast
These gladstone summer fances rest;
The golden sunshine and the dew
Have paid their tribute through and
through.
The song the lark trilled in the air
Within thy form is echoed there;
For al! these things of joy to me
Were caught and firmly held by thee.
O pumpkin pie! For all thou didst
I welcome thee unto my midst!

preparation began loTg before the ap-

naughty disregard of his fate. was
watched with furtive eyes and fed
with liberal care. The pumpkins were

the house was aglow in joyful antici-

hospitality, not SO elaborate as it was

And when the feast was over, and

When the gray-haired New Highlander

This was the spirit Of old-time

SIDEWALK AT CURTIS FAC.
TORY.

The Curtis & Yale Co. viii build
a sidewalk on the south side of its
premises. The company las not been
able to do this before because of the
fact that the Wausau Telephone
company's poles, upon which its
wires were hung, and also the Wis
consin Telephone company's poles
were placed in the line Of where the
sidewalk should be laid and had to be
removed before the sidewalk could be
built. The Wausau Telephone Co. has
placed its wires under ground and the
Wis. Co. will have its wires off in a
few days and the poles will come out,
which will make great improve
ment. The Curtis & Yale Co. are in
no way TO blame because walk was
not laid on that side of the street
long ago.
