Cause For Gratitude.

If ever we are tempted to say that,
though others have much to be thank
full for, our lives are hard and our
paths are thorny let us stop a minutes
and see by what standard we are
measuring our blessings. If we look
at a cripple plodding along with
crutches we cannot help being thank
full that we have feet which serve us
well and that we can walk and rum
without so much as considering the
effort. When the rain beats on the
roof at night we may be thankful for
the house that shelters US. When the
doctor calls next door to see an In
valid who is tossing with fever we
may be thankful that we are well. II
there are flowers on the doorbell across
the street we may be thankful that
there are 40 vacant chairs in our
home.-Margaret E. Sangster.

THANKSGIVING and "Thankslivine."

To sing a song of thanks to God Isl
inspiring; to live a life Of service with
your brother is improving the world.
Were we less idealists we should view
with fine satisfaction the sight of mem
and women differing in their religious
beliefs, yet joining together in thank
ing God. What we plead for is not a
yearly thanksgiving to God, but a daily
Thanksgiving with God. Our aim is not
content to see men sit together once 2

but to befufd then. at work together.
every day In the year absolutely for
getting religious differences, ignoring
theological doctrines and judging a
man by his conduct. not prejudging
him by his creed or race. The cele-
bration of this day is highly to be COM
mended. 1t stands as the highest ex-
preston of present day religious OBJ
servance, yet it's true worth is only
achieved when we carry into the entire
year what the day symbolizes to us all.

Renovatina Oil PAINTINGS.

Often the beauty Of an oil painting
is lost because 1t is so thickly covered
with dust. To remedy this follow
these suggestions:
Brush the painting free from dust
and wash the canvas with water, using
a sponge. Now take a piece of shaving
soap and rub it wei the entire paint
ing, leaving it on a very short while.
Scrub off with a brush, and when it is
thoroughly dried rub the canvas with
a piece of linen which has been dipped
into benzine. Do not use this too free
1y, however. If the painting appears
dull a little olive oil will benefit this.
"A coat of thin, colorless varnish is
nov applied, which protects the paint
ing and keeps it bright for a long time.

Oriain of THANKSGIVING.

In colonial days it was customary to
appoint days of fasting or feasting. of
prayer or thanksgiving, when public
events seemed to warrant this recogni-
ton. In 1889 Washington ordered a
day of thanksgiving for the adoption
of the Federal constitution. Suisse
quently various days in November
were recommended by presidents and
governors until, in 1868, the regular
observance of a national Thanksgiving
day was instituted through a procla-
nation Of President Lincoln. The
presidents proclamation does not make
it a national holiday. 1t applies legal
ly only to the District Of Columbia and
the territories. 1t is the governors
proclamations that affect the states.
The day is observed in all states. but in
some it is not a statutory holiday.
Thursday was originally selected by
the Puritans probably because. being
opportunity for the scattered members
of the family to come together and to
return without Decorating the Sab
bath by travel. November was Sc
lected as the month when the fall har-
vests were all gathered. Other coun-
tries have Thanksgiving days for spe-
cial occasions. such as success in battle
or the deliverance of the people from a
national calamity. but the fixed an
nual Thanksgiving day is a custom be-
longing TO America alone.

II Day Of Days
NHIS Is the day Of all our days

~HIS Is the day Of all or days
When we in crowded cities sigh
For one sweet breath Of old time
why's
That once we passed SO needless by.
How omance clothes the stubbled meadl
What glory crowns the bare brown
hill
How sounds afar the ancient creed.
"Oh, If we could be children still"
A million roofs its echoes send;
The lonely street gives back its cry,
Its message stirs the city's end;
Its vision cheers the longing Eye.
We mount the charger of desire,
He wings us through November haze
And drops Us by the farmhouse fire
With childhood friends Of childhood
days.
How rose the turkey mountain high
And how we sighed with cough and
call
A plate on plate went passing by.
Lest aunts and uncles eat II ALL
How blazed the logs while tales were
told
And apples roasted russell brown
How fancy filled the crate with gold
And chimney ghosts came tumblini
down.
Well. welli I'D better rub my eyes.-
u have turned a hidden page
Back to the realm where memory tries
To bride US with forgotten age.
Thanksgiving? Why. It's everywhere.
Youth may not claim ii for its own.
It's just a little Joy to spare
Out of the harvest we have sown.

Harvest Home" and Thanksgiving.


The harvest home of the Saxons and
Celts, the cerealia of the Romans, the
Israelitish feast of t~abernacles and,
for all that we know to the contrary.
the first harvest celebration of pre-
adamite man were the actual pre-
cursons of our Thanksgiving. Even
among the American Indians there was
held an autumnal festival which might
not unjustly claim precedence as the
true aboriginal Thanksgiving Of the
western world. Modern o~bservances
of Thanksgiving. with their sporting
features, are denounced in certain
quarters as sadly at variance from the
ideas of the Plymouth colonists during
their first golden autumn on the coast
Of Cape Cod bay. Indications are not
altogether wanting, however, that the
name of celebrating has changed in
nonessentials only. No longer is a
whole week devoted to Thanksgiving,
as in the days of Governor Bradford.
A single day suf1ces.

ABOUT The BIRD
OF THANKSGIVING
bronze turkey. that variety

IL honor in the North American

group of turkeys, is outdone by
none when it comes to beauty or size.
Black, beautifully shaded with a rich
bronze, the breast plumage being dark
bronze illuminated with a lustrous fin
ish Of coppery gold, gives full warrant
for the name by which this bird is
known.
The full grown. healthy bird is a
beautiful picture of bronze, black, cop
per and gold and sometimes weighs
forty or more pounds. Other varieties
known in the barnyard and even rec
ognized among dealers as having dis
~tinctive markings are in reality only
highly developed fowls with preserved
p~eculiarities. Under this classification
comes the white turkey.
In the United States there are six
standard varieties recognized and
grown. These are the bronze, Nara
gansett. buff, slate, white and black.
The chief differences are in size and
color of plumage.
The bronze and Narragansett are the
LARGEST, the buff and slate medium.
- nile the white and black are the
smallest. Within late years, however.
the white variety has reached such a
point of popularity that it has increas-
ed in size until with some dealers it
occupies third place.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
nd fhror101, fai1ino ~ Cnny1po that plona
Of honor suggested for it by Benjamin
Franklin-as the national bird-it has
nevertheless found a place in the re-
gard of the American people which Is
held by no other fowl.
Time was when a turkey, or as many
as could be carried. might be had al
most for asking. Then came the period
when 80 cents would buy a plump
young fowl. Even so short a time as
ten years ago turkeys could be pur.
chased for from s to 20 cents a pound,
dressed.
Some interesting figures were at one
time compiled by the department of
agriculture in connection with the tur.
key. In 1896 the census shov. ed the
turkey population In the United States
to be 100000. -Four years later the
department found there were but $500.
600. Such a discrepancy needed inves
.tigation. 1t was made, and the answer
was soon forthcoming.
In the year 1896 the breeders had Lit.
orally counted their eggs before they
were Matched. and the consequent total
included all poults, eggs in the nest and
birds expected as well as the grown
turkeys. With the latter figure only
birds of three months or more were
included. That figure, therefore. is the
true estimate of the average annua
turkey supply at that time. while today
the supply has increased with the ris
ing demand each year.
But even with the increase that has
come with the passing years the sup
ply is not sufficient or the price low
enough for every person in this coun
try to include it in the list of Thanks
giving features. And SO the picture
which Gray painted cannot hold true
