It was a brief message that the smartlooking telegraph boy delivored at the cozy house on Cleveland avenue, but it was freighted with a world of happiness tor little Mrs. Harris, to whom It whs addressed: Liverpool, Kov. 14. Home Thanksgiving. Win,. Mrs. Harris read and reread the precious line. "Dear Will, how thoughtful of him to cable! And it is nearly two weeks earlier than he expected to get through. See, Dorothy, papa is coming baoK to us again." Dorothy dropped her dolly and pat tered across the floor to her mother's side. "Papoo, tfee?" she lisped. "Yes, honey, papa dear is ooming home. Won't he be surprised to see how big you have grown, and what a good grl you are, and how many new wtrroe you can say Jae win be prouder than ever of his little girl. "Vh-huh," asserted Dorothy with the supreme confidence of her two years, as her mother tenderly swept her hand over the little one's glorious tangle of golden ourls. "Papoo turn tee mamma, Dzak, Dawsy." "Yes, darling, papa will come and see mamma and Jack and Dorothy, Brother will be home irom school presently and he will be clad, too, when he knows papa is coming so soon. Mrs, Harris counted the days after the receipt of the cable. She knew that it would take about ten days for the ocean trip at that season of the year, and she feared a little for the safety of their loved one on the treacherous bosom of the great ocean. Sturdy little Jaok was his mother's comforter through the days that dragged slowly on, and each night mamma and Jack and Dorothy knelt at the aide of Jack's bed and KS WBT CAffHOT WIl,c BE BEBE?" aalted in a fervent plua to the Good Father to watch over their dear one and bring him safely home. A week passed without special inoldent. Thero was something dono in the way of preparation of the Thanksgiving dinner, which had been a feature with them ever since they were married. Mrs. Harris cam ) of good old New England stock, and the Indian puddings, and mince pies, and "crullers" that invariably formed a part of this meal were always prepared by her own hands. Her husband insisted that no one else could make them taste so good. The Thursday before Thanksgiving when little Jack came home from school his cheeks wero flushed and he complained of his throat. Mrs. Harris, who never liked to take any chances, called the family physician, who salt that it was nothing serious, though it should be carefully watched. The next morning Jaok was worse m i eh worse and that night was very bad indeed. When the doctor came ho brought another with him, and their verdict struck a chili to the heart of the little mother. "My dear madam,' said lue old doetor, kindly, "your boy has diphtheria of the most malignant character. We will do all in our power for him, but we gravely fear for the result. In the meantime the little girl must be kept in another part of the housn." Dorothy was banished to tho upper floor, and Mrs. Harris seat for her bister to help her. Togethnr thoy watohed over the pillow upon whijh Jack's curly head tossed, and together Uiey pruned. Ah. the terror of those nights; the hopes and fears that alternate! 1 in the boi-om of that fond mother; the prayers that went up from the depth of t hat get tie woman's soul for the preservation of the life of her boy. "ih, G:d, Bpare him to us," she pleaded; "let him live to glorify Thy na.ue and bless Th;e in the days when he shall nave arrived at man's estate. Take hi it not Irom us, we pray. Thee; heal his sickness and restore him whole to the arms of those who wait for htm. Yet, if he must die, oh, our Father, we pray that ho mav be permitted to live to so his earthly I ather onoe more." So she suppiieated for the life of her 'first-born, and when bIh; rose from her knees great lieads of sweat wero on her forehead. Her eyes were dry ami hot. She stepped lightly to th Hide of ..aek's bed. He had not stirred. His lips, pan hed by the fever's horrid heat, were swollen and i-'racktrd. His faco li.ad lost the brilliant flusdi it first to:e, and was taking on the darker shade Hint ttdls the trained physician that hop is gone. "O, why cannot w il, b-ii hore to bear thin with me? Must our lit'la one go before he comas? Heavenly l ather hasten him on his way." Who can measure that poor mother's agony. one save those 'who have watched wli.le the light has faded from loving, sunny eyes, an I tiny hands dropped nerveless upon a breathless bosom. Monday's papers noted the arrival at New York of Wilt's steamer, and if there was no delay on the way he might get home in time. That night Dorothy exhibited some unfavorable evmptoms, and by Tuesday morn. rig was in tho club hes of the same (Iron I monster that was taking the lite of 11 t'o Jack. No skill could prove it a catastrophe. There was nothing to do but await the end. This was the home to which the loving husband and Indulgent lather came aftur his Ion? absoneo that Wednesday vsaiag. Jack U.ul died early In the

afternoon, and little Dorothy tvns going fait when hor father let hima. it' in with hiulatchk y. No hint of the situation had readied him. Hnrdly a inilo oi the thousands he had traveled on his liomowurd journey that was not marked by a thought of the beloved wife and little ones. How Jaok must have grown! Ana

ne was going to school now. Jto was 7, little man, nnd would have so much to say about his teacher, and his slato. nml hln reader. And Dorothy! She always wtkS her father's girl, anyway, nnd she would have many now words to say to him, and her mo: hor, Cod bless hor, would gladly welcome him, and would tell him all the odd things the little ones had said and done while he was gone Tl ey were well, of course. Had hn not humbly asked that tho Master might care for nnd kocp them in his absence? Had not this praj'er bocn sinoorelv of fered every night of the months ho had bean from home.' The house seemed' strangely quiet ns he nung ut his ovrrooat. "Hello there! Jack! Dorothy! Mam ma! Where tire you?" The color loft hla faoo when his wan HfrJe wife threw herself sobbing into hlf. arms. He learned it all in a fow minutes. His Jack was gone. Dorothy wss alive, out oould not long survive He nerved himself and tiptoed to tho tri nalebod where she lay. "Dorothy, datling," he said, gently. Slowly tho big b.ue eys opened and closed. A faint smilo touched the poor pa-chert lips. "Papoo, dee, she murmtred faintly. That was all. It wns soon over. The solemn undertaker canto with two little oankets and, accompanied by the father and mother, drove to the cemoteiT, where Jack and Dorothy sleep side by Bide. 'fhe air was crisp and quickened the warm mooa in toe cneeits or tnose wno faced it. Some of the church belle were ringing tho call to Thanksgiving service as they returned. They sat down at dinner with heavy hearts. On one sido of tho room stooi Dorothy's high choir; on the other was Jack s saiety, of which the little man was so proud. They bowed their heads reverently, es was thoir custom. Almighty God," ho began in a broken voloe. we thank we Then he stopped and, dropping his faee upon his nanas, wept liKe a little cnnci. THANKSGIVING DAY. Its Origin nnd Adoption ThrougHdtit the Country. The first Thanksgiving Pay held in America is believed to have occurred in February, I631i at which date a vessel laden with supplies arrived to succor the starv.ng colony at Charleston; Dur in a the following years frequent days of rhante wore appointed in tho New En ilana colonies. At llrst these Bp' poiatments were at different seasons of the year sometimes twice in ono year and for special reasons. Thanksgiv ing l'ny was a national institution dur ing the devolution, and was annually recommended by Congress, but after a general thanksgiving for peace m ivi, there was no national appointment till 17sa, when President Washington recommended a thanksgiving for the adoption of tho Constitution. In 1795 'Washington appointed another national thanksgiving on account of the sup pression of the insurrection of that year. In 1815 a clay of thanksgiving lor the restoration of peace was recommended by President Madison, but durinc the early part of the century Thanksgiving remained an institution pecaliarto New Knglnnd, hut was not always held either on the same day or in the same month. Tho Protestant Episcopal prayer book adopted in 1789 recommended for a day of thanksgiving tho first Thursday in November, and this day was observed by the church generally in States where there was no official thanksgiving uppolnte I. The first official iipjiolntincnt of a Thanksgiving day in the State of New Yon was made in 1817, but tho Governors of "Western one. Southern Stales did aot generally follow the custom until after 1850. Proclamations rocommending special thanksgiving for victory were issued by President Lincoln In 1462 and 1863, and in ItiiWand 1804 ho appointed tho annual Thanksgiving day by t, national proelam it Ion. Sinco that time annual thanksgh gig proclamations have bocn issued by the Presidents, the Governors of the seoral States, and the Mayors of the prir.cipal cities. Tho last Thursday of Novombor is celebrated as Thanksgiving day throughout the country. How to Select a Turkey. In tills country Oiily is the turkey fotitd in a wild staie. it is very fitting, therefore, that in-the Thanksgiving dinner it ehon'.d bo the principal dish, writes Maria Parloa it. her department in tie Ladies' Homo Journal. Tho turkey must bo wisely chosen, well cooked, and properly served. It fliould be short aad plump, tho meat white, with som j tat, the legs Mack and smooth; and if there bo spurs they should be short. The end of Iho breast-bone should be flexible, tnoro like gristle than bone. A turkey that is lor g in proportion to its si.e, and hns dark or bluiiih flesh, may bo tender, but certainly will not be finely flavored and juicy. A dry-picked turkey will be found to have a much letter flavor than a scilld'id one. All p ultry that is drypiok :d costs a few cents it pound more than tho scalded, but it is well worth 'the oxtra price. Thanksfflvln a Menu.

Snnltc-Killing Dogs. ""What sort of a dog do you call that?" inquired a reporter of a plenty-cf-timeaudnotiiing-to-do-nith-it sort of a person, who with a brace of di gs, lind overtaken him on tho Kingsbridgo road. "I reckon yo'd never guess," said the Virginian. "Ho tiin't a pointer nor a setter. Me might lie taken for n Spitz, but. he ain't j and, I reckon, the only ono m tho United States. I raised' him down yondpr in Culpepper County, Vir ginny; and talk about snakes! 'why, jest iook at him at the very mention "oi the word." The little dog certainly lind boon seized with what the reporter judged from personal experience to a gnlar Virginia chill. His ears stood erect, and every lash of his tail nearly threw him out of plumb. "Just come over yonder on the hillside," continued tho owner, "and see what he's good for." The reporter followed him over the fence, tho little black dog leading and making for a slight declivity covered with rocks. "That's a likely spot for his game," laughed the owner. In a moment the excited anininl was tearing awav at the stones, utterly short yelps, while his companion, a fine fox hound, stood by looking stolidly on. The small dog soon struck hard pan, judging from tho noise, and out writhed a goodly-sized garter-snake. The next moment tho reptile was ten feet in the air, and the

tosser, bracing himself, grabbed him by the neck asit came down. Then ensued a wrestling that defies description. He shook the snake so that ho lashed his own sides unmercifully, a proceeding which seemed only to enrage him the more. Now he was thrown off his feet, lying on his side; now he was rolling in and out among tho rocks, yelping, snorting and throwing the gravel about, while his master danced around in delight, and the fox-homid bayed in evident rapture. The snake, though a good-sized one, stood this treatment and gave out. Then the dog carefully crunched every rib and bone of the snake, down to the toil, laid tho defunct reptile at his master's feet, mado his "how d'ye," and looked again at tho heap of stones with an eager air. "Shake 'em out," said tho owner, and for half an hour tho black bnuch of dog flesh literally waltod 6iitikes in that locality, and killed six of tho reptiles that had been ar 'Used from their winter sleep. "Oh, he's a caution to snakes," said his owner, tossing the dog a lump of sugar; "but these snakes don't show him np, though. You ought so see him tacklo a moccasin. See this collar? Wattles'? Sure's yonr born. That rattle represents the lost of five rattle snakes tossed in Culpepper County; and talk of moscasins! lie's at home with a nest of them." "When did he develop the taste ? "Prom birth, I reckon; but lie knocked around my place for a year before I fairly sized him up. We considered him oi no account, but one day a circus came along with one of these yere snake charmers, and the girl 'lowed her snake hadn't eaten for six months. Tho long and short of it w&s she offered a dollar for the pup, and I made the sale, declining the invite to Feothefun, as she called the feeding; Wall," continued the Virginian with a roar of laughter, in which the little dog joined by Bhowing his teeth, "the next morning I looked out of my window tit sunrise, and there a-rushing through my simlin patch was that yere snake charmer. She came up all a-standing nnder the window, and I'm dog-goned if she didn't tongue-lash mo till I lowed I had enough. She had n dead boa-constrictor about ten feet long over her arm, which she wanted me to come down and pay for. But I didn't, though she sued me for selling her a wild dog, as she called him, but it didn't cost me a picayune. Yon see she chucked tho dog in, and, as I hear.l from a cody butcher, she hadn't loose 1 her hold before tho dog had the snake for all he was worth. He got his foreleg broke in the wrastle, but when they tore 'em apart ho started for home, an there he is." New York Hutu Ingenuity In Sign Fainting. Sign painters nowadays need not show much knowledge of drawing figures, but very much skill and experience are nec essary before one can space letters properly. A poorly spaced sign is a spoiled ono, and perhaps tho percentage of good spacers would not amount lo more than one in ton amonir sign paint ers. Tho plain lettered sign is now most In vogue here, out It otters considerable scene for the exercise of ingenuity and taste in evolving new ideas, fine cr quaint forms of lettering, proper hackgrounds to tho letters, appropriateness of appearance to the business advertised and what not besides.
