i- GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1911

HE poems on Thanksgiving day will haunt us for a week Some of them lilt in roundelay and some in dirges speak Some of them tell in dialect of times down on the farm, And some in meter circumspect to magazines lend charm.

The man who writes in ragtime strain will tell about the moon, Which views with arrogant disdain the hunting of the 'coon.

HERE'LL be a lot of jingling verse concerning mother's pies, And then some rhyme a little worse about the "sombre skies" We'll get the "sighing of the breeze," the "dying leaves," and, oh,

For fear that these should fail to please, we'll get the

b. b. snow For all about and all around the poets seize the pen, Likewise the rhymes they last year found, and write them once again.

BILLION poems, more or less, in cadence sad or gay, Have added to the world's distress since first we had the day—The joyous day of giving thanks, and wondering for why, Except to thin the turkey's ranks and gormandize on pie. In every town from Higgins-

TJT, what's the odds? They've got to be, along with all the rest, We have to have the poetry, to know how much we're blest. The poems may not be so grand, but all our woes will cease, When we're filled with turkey and our

souls are full of ,peace. When we assimilate the pies, and other thingswell, say we'll bless the rhyming thoughts that rise about Thanksgiving day.

Too Much.

"Slave," said Abdul Hamid to his grand vizier, "have the American comic papers arrived?" "They have, O incandescent light of the world, brother of the moon and first cousin to the comets," answered that official. "Bring them hither."

It was done, and after one glance at them the Sultan kicked his best hookah out of the window, ordered his favorite dancing girl bowstrung, and threw the papers at the head of the grand vizier. "Is it not enough," he roared, "to have the foreigners coming here and collecting money through thy careless* ness, without having my majestic self and my enlightened realm mixed up in the annual Thanksgiving jokes again?"

C. O. D.

The dyspeptic guest gazed longingly at the crisp, brown turkey, the mashed potatoes, celery, cranberries, etc., and sighed, with a mournful intonation: "I'll have to pay for this tomorrow, I know."

The host took a thoughtful expression and remarked: "I wish I'd known that. They made me pay for it lyesterday."

Growing Reminiscent Now. Teacher dear, in defining the word "reminiscent" told the class: 'Reminiscent' means something that calls up memories of things and incidents that have gone before— something that brings a previous fact before us."

Yesterday she asked the class to define "reminiscent," when the little wise boy answered: "Turkey."

The Thanksgiving Turk.

At midnight, in his guarded coop, The turk sat, dreaming of the hour, When loud the dinner bell should ring

With all its most insistent power. The boarders also dreamed of him, And how, for something like two weeks, They'd be reminded of the turk

In hash, which sometimes' almost speaks. a

Two Losers.

"I lose money on every meal," complained the Landlady. "So do I," asserted the Captious Boarder.

Whereupon they glared at each otiler for some moments.

"That I may publish with the voice of Thanksgiving."—Psalm xxvi, 7.

Lord, let me thank Thee for the rains, And for the sunshine and the dew, For grass that carpets hills and plains,

For flowers that make glad the view, For snow that hides the naked trees, For all that in completeness blends They have brought comfort, all of these—

These, and my company of friends.

These are the things that make me rich My heart where faith still holds its place, My hands that have no miser-itch

To grasp the prize before the race. My soul that waits its day, serene, A hope that falters not, nor ends When life seems sordid, crude and mean—

These, and my company of friends.

As some worn pilgrim tells his beads I count today my scanty store That is sufficient for my needs

But deep within my being's core There is a truer thankfulness For this rare goodness that life sends. I would not ask for more to bless

Than this, my company of friends.

Though I might heap up gold and gear And, prideful have a ruler's sway, Without my friends, I know my year

Would not have held a happy day. Though I am grateful for what gain My simple toiling comprehends, I know my life would be in vain

Without my company of friends.

Lord, bless them all, for I am glad Because today 1 call them mine-—

would not give them up to add Unto my store of corn and wine.

thank Thee for this year of peace, But am one who now commends To Thee for blessings without cease

His goodly company of friends.

THE STOCK MARKET

LARGEST HOG RECEIPTS IN HISTORY OF MARKET.

Supply This Month Already Exceeds Previous Novembers— Prices, Therefore, Down.

Receipts, 15,000 hogs, 1,200 cattle, 300 calves and 1,000 sheep, against 15,272 hogs, 1,345 cattle, 375 calves and 596 sheep a week ago and 7,261 hogs, 921 cattle, 251 calves and 570 sheep a year ago.

Total receipts of hogs to date are a little in excess of the largest November in the history of the market. The big run also gave buyers an opportunity for dictating terms and there was a further general reduction in prices of 5c to 15c, prin-, cipally on the lighter averages. The market developed more weakness for light hogs and closed at the lowest point of the day. Most of the offerings were good enough to sell within a range of $5.90 to $6.30 and the top was $6.40.

There was only a fair Tuesday run of cattle, and in most lines there were no more than needed to meet the requirements. It was due to this almost entirely that prices wore steady. Moderate receipts the remainder of the week, in view of the Thanksgiving holiday, will be all that will probably be required. There was complaint of the market for heifers and especially for the low grade killing steers. Feeders were about steady at the recent decline in prices and there was but little change in prices for bulls or calves. _/j

There were nearly three times aS* many sheep and lambs as the daily average last week. At the close of the day the pens had been cleared at a general decline of 25c. There were many lambs good enough to sell at $4.50, but that was practically the top, and culls sold as low as $3.00. Most of the best sheep sold at $2.75, there being a few good kinds at $2.50, and culls as low as $1.00.
