THANKSGIVING IS
''0LD HOME" DAY
is well to bark back now and then
to the old days and the old ways.
Thanksgiving day in the begin


to the old days and the old ways.
Thanksgiving day in the begin
ming was New England holiday.
1t is only Of late years that it has been
domesticated in the rest Of the country
and made federal observance.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy John D.
Long in a reminiscent article told how
the Pilgrims celebrated it. He wrote:
A man must have been born in
New England village more than a gen.
GRAFTON ago to know the full old time
flavor of Thanksgiving day. Then was
the day Of the ''old home" Then fami-
lies were large. Flocks of boys and
girls were in evidence and filed the
half dozen or more scattered school
houses which since then have become
so depopulated that most of them have
been abandoned, and the vastly d.
minished number of successors Of for
mer crowds of scholars are carted back
and forth in a single omnibus to some
more pretentious structure at the vii
lage center. Then holidays We're rare.
New, Years day and Washington's
birthday and even Christmas, still un->
der the blight Of the old Puritan pro-
test, were for the most part unobserv-
ed. Fast day had no significance in
the way Of its recognition, except pos
sibly sermon or, if the snow was off
the ground, game Of ball. The
Fourth Of July was an outdoor cele-
bration, often as quiet as Sunday
after the old swivel had been fired off
at sunrise.
The browning festival of the year
was Thanksgiving-the festival Of the
freside-when the apples and pump
k1ns had been gathered, when the ear
lytssnowfakes had fallen and when
grandfather and grandmother and Un-
Gle Isaac and Aunt Betsy were invited
to dinner, and any boy who had stray
ed away to an occupation elsewhere
came back with the appetite of a
hound and burst in at the kitchen door
with shout and got the hearty home
greeting. It was, "Hello, mother''-
nobody then said "mamma"-and,
"Well, if that amt you, Sam" Then
the "beef critter'' had been killed and
his quarters stored for the winters
only supply of fresh meat. The hog
that had grunted all summer in his pen
and grown fat had gone under the
butchers knife; souse and sausage had
sent their appetzing odor through the
house, and the pork barrel was full.
Mother" and 'the girls"-there were
no servants-for days previous had
been making marvellous constructions
Of mtnce and apple and pumpkin pies
The turkey fanked one end Of the ta-
BILE and a huge chicken pie the other.

his aunt slyly asked him which kind
of pie he would have, as If he could

paused, and turned to the secretary:
II will see you later. dear"
Anita led the detective swiftly
through the wide, clean halls and up
the stairs, explaining in clear. distinct
tones the floor-plan. On the second
floor she opened the door leading into
little ante-room at the front of the
house just over the office, and when
they, were seated, she said quickly,
with rising excitement, although her
voice was carefully hushed
"Mr. Bl-Banks, have something to

She opened her bag and handed a
long envelope to him, but at first his
attention was held by what she had
said, and he frowned as he repeated
quickly:
'Authentic?' I trust you did not
show any suspicion that you doubted
for moment that it was genuine?"
"Oh, by no means, 1t was Mr. Ander-
son himself who took especial pains to

much milk in the world outside a COW
Il have heard it said that a thun-
derstorm will make milk sour, and
feel quite sure we are to have a thun-

and save it"
And then Tommy Cat put his front
feet on the greasy window sill, and it
was all over in a second
Tommie Cat slipped and slid, and
down he went right into the pail of
water with loud splash
Bonnie Dog held on to his mouth to
keep from laughing, but it was of no
use. He burst right out loud, "Ha,
ha!" he laughed
Tommie Cat was very busy scram-
bling out of the pail, but he knew that
laugh and did not stop a minute. He
sprang to the sill and out of the win
dow he went and down the road he
ran, with Bonnie Dog laughing as hard
as ne could from the window.
Tommie Cat shook himself as he
ran, but he was shivering and he had
to stop at last and lick himself dry.
I wonder if Bonnie Dog was there
all the time and saw me jump up on
the sill?' he thought.
Tommie Cat licked his. paws, What
is that? 1t tastes like butter" he said.
Tommie Cat tasted again. 1T is but
ter he said. 1T is on all my feet and
on my coat, too. Now. where did |
get butter on me like this?"
Tommie Cat thought as he licked
himself dry. and then he remembered
how quickly he slid through the pantry
window. II bet Bonnie Dog greas-

One day Bennie Dogs mother told
him she was going a long distance
with Mr.. Man on a business trip and
she would not be home until night,
and that Bonnie Dog must watch the
house, and especially the pantry win
dow, for she had two big pans of milk
with rich cream on it and she didn't
want anyone to steal them.
Bonnie Dog sat on the steps in the
sun. He had eaten a nice dinner of
bones and meat and was thinking
about taking a nap when he saw Tom
my Cat coming down the road.
Bonnie Dog thought of the pans Of
milk in his mothers pantry and how
very much Tommie Cat loved a rich
milk and cream, and then he thought
of something else. and he slid into the
house and locked the door.
Bonnie Dog went into the pantry
and put big pail of water in front of
the window Then he covered the win
dowsill with butter and put a saucer
of cream on the sill
And then Bonnie Dog hid behind
the pantry door.
Tommie Cat came down the road
and looked at Bonnie Dogs house. Il
guess no one is at home" he said.

and there is something on the sill
