W. he saw an automobile.
49, From the first moment the
&EIT new invention appeared,
soaring his steady old horses almost
to death, and breaking up one of his
best farm wagons, Deacon Phipps had
no patience with any kind of a motor
vehicle.
AS time went on, and many of his
neighbors bought automobiles, his
horses became wonted to them and
turned never a hair when they whizzed
by; but the good deacon did not re-
lent. Whenever one passed him on
the road, throwing, perhaps, a shower
of dust or mud upon his modest car
riage, and leaving behind it a trail
of ill-odor, he would mutter (under his
breath) words which no good deacon
should ever, ever use.
The deacon and his wife grew old,
and their six children all married, ex-
cepting Rhoda, the youngest, who
stayed at home to take care of them.
The four sons we're prosperous, and
the older daughter had married a very
rich man and lived one hundred or
more miles away Two sons had be-
come farmers and lived quite near.
One was a merchant in a large town
perhaps fifty miles distant. The fourth
one was a minister, settled in the
same town with the merchant brother.
To the infinite disgust of Deacon
Phipps, all of these sons, excepting
the minister, owned automobiles, and
Thomas, the merchant, actually sport
ed three or four. When his father
found this out, he came almost to the
point of breaking off relations with
Thomas.
In the old days, the family had
used to gather on the day before
Thanksgiving, and the large, airy
chambers of the ample Phipps home
stead could accommodate them all.
Now the children and the ~grandchil-
dren had increased in number until
such gatherings were no longer pos
sible. The uncles and aunts had died
or had become infirm. There had
been some pretty lonely Thanksgiv-
ings at the hospitable Phipps farm.
1t was during the week before the
great day that Deacon Phipps was sit
ting before the open fire in his big,
comfortable sittingroom, and ponder
ing over this melancholy fact.
"'Tain't right" he grumbled to his
gentle wife, who sat knitting beside
him. "'Tain't right to have families
scattered so at Thanksgiving. / wish
we could get u folks all together,
Susan, just once more. Here you an

I'VE never in the world can eat them
up before they spoil! AS near as l
can make out, there are only about
ten coming, anyway"
But Miss Rhoda said she would
risk it," and laughed her mother back
to her post beside the fire.
By ten o'clock Thanksgiving morn
ing the whole farmhouse was in
speckless order. Aunt Judy and Uncle
Ben had promised to come early, and
so had son John and his family. Dea-

The Making of the Pup.

Ted and James M, who live
some distance from the city, have a
young bull dog, which they insist
needs training. The dog is by nature
ferocious, so the training is not diff
cult.
A short time ago a tramp was about
to enter their front gate, when he
spied the dog and changed his mind,
not soon enough, however, to avert
disaster.
"Sic 'em, Kid, sic 'em!" cried the
boys in delight.
Kid Immediately began to play with
the tramp's ankles in a way which
gave cause for alarm.
Take your dog off, or I'll kill him."
yelled the victim, trying to carry out
his threat.
The boy grinned. Stand it if you
can, mister. It's hard on you, but it'll

came a great touring car. The deacon
scowled, but as he heard, first the
sweet Gabriel horn, and then the
rough roar of the Klaxon, his face re-
Taxed a little. Who were in the car?
1t was not the family of son John.
Surely it was Thomas and his min

Aunt Betty, who could not have
dreamed Of coming in anything except
such a softly padded vehicle, the tears
were dropping all over Mother Phipps'
best white lace jabot.
Such a Thanksgiving! Every sim

grandchildren was there! The good
deacon's voice trembled with joy as
he asked the blessing, and poured out
his thanks before God.

automatically. "The chauffeurs are

They are inventions of the evil one

"Wait a minute, father!" laughed
Thomas, amid the eager looks of all
the others, who were evidently full OF
suppressed excitement. "We-well-
we've feel as though we all wanted
to see more of you and mother than
we have seen lately, but we don't fee
safe to have you travelling around or
the cars any more, and your horses
can't take you as far as most Of us
live, so we have dubbed together an6
have bought you the strongest and
~handsomest limousine a that We
could find. We have put a sum at in

What could the old man say?
He turned red, stammered, looke'
at his wife, who was smiling signif
cantly, and then had the grace t.
accept and thank his children for thei
munificent gift.

"Well," he unused on, well try to

his good wife, but you hadn't oughter

those we can't have" Which was good
doctrine, though it could not quite
stop the deacon's grumbling.
Miss Rhoda Phipps was quite equal
to the task of taking care of the old
people. A strong woman helped her
in the kitchen, and there were neigh
bors near by who were ready to do
extra work. Job, the good middle
aged man who had taken care of the
horses for many a year, was no mean
hand at household as we'll as stable
service, and at this special Thanks
giving Isl Miss Rhoda kept them
all busy until the pantries were piled
thick, with dainties. Mrs. Phipps
thought that there was too much food
prepared.
"Why Rhoda, what do we want
with twenty apple pies and six tur-
keys and ten chicken pies and a gal
Ion of cranberry saucer" she cried.

Little Johnna when he first came to the

able to speak word Of English and
even his native tongue he spoke SO
poorly that none but his mother was
able 10 make out his wants Little Joe,
with the help Of the other children, has
taught him English SO well that he is

wants in very good English. This has
been the case with other children. One

Baseball occupies the time of the
older boys and there is much o. the

of the children who frequent the

how to use it. 1t was necessary for
the supervisor 10 place them in the
swing and hold them there while she
showed them how the sport was en-

was necessary for them to stand out
