THANKSGIVING IN WAR TIMES
Soldiers in the Field Made Merry on Pork and Hard Tack, Washed
 Down With Coffee.

After the battle of Missionary Ridge" said Lieut.. Col. J. A. Wat rOus, U s. A., retired, ''the work of getting ratiOns and clothing to the needy army began
 "As the commander rode along our line there was a Hull for a mOment-a cessation of the cheers that greeted his apprOach-and he said:
 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. You shall have feast
 By daylight the ratiOns began to ar rive.
 We had thanksgiving breakfast. It was the first full meal we had had for over month. How we ground up that hardtack and those chunks of raw pork and poured down that good, black coffee,
 "But the dinner was the great meal. Nine of us clipped in to prepare it. Other parties did very much as we diG.> The ground was our table. On 8 plate made of leaves there was pile of hardtack. A barrel head was the meat plate, and it was piled high with fat pork, well boiled. One of the boys had seized a large tin pail from a colored cooks outfit at generals headquar- ters when the cook was not looking. This was full of hot coffee. We sat down like Turks, and while Bill was reaching for a cracker Sergeant Web ster said:
 Boys in my old home in New York they always gave thanks for the years blessings before beginning the feast, Shall we do so here todayY No one spoke. Bill laid down his cracker. Webster bowed his head, and so did the rest of us. can't remember all he said, but he gave thanks for the hope of an early coming of peace and that our lives might be spared to. see the country united and that we might return to our homes and loved ones.
 'We went on eating without delay when Webster raised his head. but it was some time before word was said. Bill was the first to speak:
 Sergeant, that was a nice vote of thanks you gave. 1t made me think 0f Sue and the baby. But how could you pray today when yesterday you gave Tom a push with your musket and said: ID you; keep in line "''"

DO YOUR TOES SPREAD OUT?
Mary E. 5ayley, R. N., Tells What, in an Experts Opinion. the
 Feet Should Be Like.

Does the great toe of your foot Cor the big toes of both feet) continue in a straight line from the heel? And do your other toes spread apart? If this condition exists you have good understanding feet, according to Mary E. Bayley, R. N, who tells in the De- lineator what feet should be like. Her article has been approved by Dr. Virgil ?. Gibney, surgeon in chief of the Hos pital for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled, New York, and there fore bears the stamp of authority.
 Too much care cannot be taken of the feet, Miss Bayley continues. as they are the keystone to correct body position and have much to do with cDe's health. Particular attention should be paid to shoe fitting between the ages of nine and fourteen, since this is the period of growth and ex- pansion. Stockings, too. come in for discussion, as tight-fitting ones com press the toes and interfere with the circulation.

But this Thanksgiving as we gather about our board to enjoy one of the descendants of those 4O- pound ''turkieS, which Sallied gaily past the doares" it will warm our hearts to remember only this one in- stance which will be taking place
 as usual, this year. The scene of it is in a famous street in the heart of New YOrk'S underworld.

They're Coming Home
By JOHN E. DOLsEN.

By JOHN E. DOLSEN. The years are so long now and dreaEy
 and lonely Since the children have gone into
 homes of their own. The house seems deserted, for John
 and I only Are left in it now, and we live all
 alone. It often seems strange, even yet, tc
 be sitting With no one but John through the evenings long, And I listen at times for the quick, eager fitting Of footsteps o'erhead or for snatches of song. While the children were little our work was much harder Twas often an almost impossible task To pay all the bills and keep food in the Iarder, To watch them and answer what e'er they might ask. Still I oftentimes think, though I've grown so much older And more nearly disabled than ever before, That all of the cares would willing ly shoulder If they were all with us and children once more.
 Thanksgiving We make them all promise to visit us here, And 1 sometimes tell John there'd De more joy in living, For me, if Thanksgiving came four times year. I'll begin preparations next week to receive them, And, though they've all grown to be women and men And have homes of their own, too, FIJI almost believe them To be just my own little children again. am going to have the best dinner we ever Yet had in the family Thanksgiv- ing day, And know it is we'll, too, for maybe we never Will all get together again in this way. John says l am foolish and that 'twould be better To have just plain dinner, with out frilIs or pies, But tell you last night when he read EthePs letter l noticed that he, too, had tears in his eyes.
