tuuu. a ven or magic beauty covers
fence and road, the yard so brown and
ugly but yesterday, hides now under
a mantle Of snowy swansdown. All
night it fell, noiselessly, stealthily.
mysteriously, this first coming snow
of the year, and made Of this common
earth a bit Of fairyland, a transforma-
ton scene.
Like a Thriee-Told Tale.
The Thanksgiving dinner Of the
country's earlier days has been de-
scribed so frequently that it is like
"thrice-told tale, signifying sound and
nonsense" SO vividly that one can al
most taste the dainties. Modern kit
chens could not cook those incompar-
able dishes. Such a feast could not
be served in courses, or brought on
in piecemeal. In those days the table
literally ''groaned with its burden" and
glowed with the beauty of the assem-
bled dishes. Merely to recite their
names would tempt the most pitiful
dyspeptic.
Roast pig, hot and brown, roast
spare ribs, pink and cold; roast tur-
key, juicy and tender, full to bursting
with perfect stuffing; potatoes, snow
white and mealy; boiled onions, like
shining pearls: stewed tomatoes, Of
deepest red coldslaw, that pale green
dainty. Perhaps there would be
pOt-pie of chicken, or squirrel, or
quail dish of hominy, or turnips, or
corn. Celery in bouquets Of bleached
plumes; beets, cut in scarlet roses;
spiced pickles, sweet and sour; cram
berries; glowing like heapedup rubies,
and pies, of all sorts and sizes. apple
and custard and cherry and mince-
but, best Of all, because most appro-
pirate, the Old-fashioned pumpkin pie,
a lost delight, and, like Poe's heroine
-"vanished now for evermore."
In the days Of real Thanksgiving,
there was no ice cream, no barbecue,
no cremede-menthe, no pousse-cafe, no
treacherous cocktail nor subtle pick
me-up. For dessert there were dough-
nuts and cheese, gingerbread and beat
en- biscuit and honey; apples and nuts
and popcorn, and cider from the home
press, made for the occasion and with
just the right twang to its bubbles.
Royal Feasts and Feasters.
Such royal feasts needed royal feast
ers, the keen winter air and long SER
mon combined to make the only true
sauce, the simple, honest hunger OF
simple, honest people. Nowadays we
hear of "the keen, sharp pangs Of the
morning after" Nobody ever heard of
a sickness the day after this Thanks
giving dinner. Nobody was in a hurry
to get off to the theater or card party.
for 1 o'clock was the dinner hour, and
the sleigh ride home through clear
winter sunlight was the best of all
digestants, if such thing were need
ed.
! In some neighborhoods the day would
end in a Thanksgiving dance, but this
was not prevailing custom. Perhaps
the visitors would spend the night.
would gather round the fire and tell
with tale Of adventure or deeds Of
daring. And there was always music
some one would play on violin or bass
viol, perchance little piano or quaint
melOdeon. People sang ballads in
those days.
"On the Banks Of Allan Water"
"Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes,"
"Fly Away to My Native Land" and
others so long unsung, are like dreams
of far-off Joy to the old folks.

GENERAL WOOD THINKS
100000 MEN ENOUGH
FOR OUR ARMY NEEDS

Washington, Sept l1.-Maj Gen.
Leonard Wood took flat issue with war
department recommendations for the
army before the senate military com.
mittee, contending that there was no
present Justification for maintaining a
regular army of more than 100000 Off
GERS and men at most, as against the
100000 limit proposed in the war de
partments bill.
Il can find no reason whatever for
the larger army recommended in the
war department bill" said General
Wood, unless we are to undertake new
responsibilities of which | know moth
ing"
Universal military training should be
embarked upon Immediately as the ma
tional policy, he thought; but he IA
vored the system proposed in the bill
introduced by Senator Chamberlain as
opposed to that provided in the war de.
partment plan.
An efficient regular army backed up
by reserve equipment for 1000 900 men
and an officers reserve corps of 120, 900
men, General Wood said, should meet
all present requirements of the ma.
tion. As the universal military train.
ing system developed, he added the size
of the regular army probably could be
decreased.
Control Of the Pacific, he said, was
largely a naval problem" and there
was no reason for increasing overseas
garrlsons.
