A THANKFUL THANKSGIVING

B DON’T feel a# if I should enjoy thl» jbukiflTlo'/' said Mrs. Joel Nmbitti looking down into th« bankfit of dowy, red cheeked Spltzenberge as if U gr«r» a family vault and taking up an •pple aa If it had been a skull; “no, 1 goi*t M “Then, Sarepta,” observed her hueVaad, who had juet thrown a huge log «• the open fire, “you don't disarn nothtaa’ to be thankful fori Ift ae harnsome n turkey ae ever flapped, and I don t tomrw ot * ye ax when I've had nicer pompklne on that ar* corn loti “ *Teln’t tuTkey or pumpkin piee cat cranberry eats aa makes Thankaglvin',” etghod Mrs. Nikbett. “What la It. then ? Es it'a cold weaAm, I phould ha’ thought the laet froat would ha' done the business for yon protty fairly. Them artemisiaa by the front door ie scorched black, and the old tnaple la loeln’ it* leaves aa if they was rainin' down. Parson Jarvis le cornin' all the way from Sloateaville to preach to-moirow, and the quire’s larned a new anthem Juet a-purpose, about bein’ thankful for harveet and all that sort of thine. I’m ear# 1 don’t know what elae you’d have.” Mrs. Nlfbett only answered by a aigh. “I wonder If ’tain’t possible Stephe’U be hum to-night,” nhe eald after a pauao. “He writ not. He thought he’d drop In arly tomorrow mornin’ If he caught the train he expected. Only think, old woman; R’a flva yeare sine# Stepha was bum to Thankaglvin’!” Old Nlabett rubbed his horny hands, with a chuckle, adding: “And I a’poaa, if all account* ia true, bo’s gattln’ to b# a great man out In that western country. It wa* kind of a hud pull whan ha went off and loft us, bat maybe the boy was in the right” “Toa,” said Mr*. Nlsbott doloroualy, “bat somehow I can’t get reconciled to «ho idea of hie marryin’ a strange gal oat Asm.” joil scratched hi* head. Thia waa a phase of the auhject that he scarcely fait competent to diacuss. “lfaybe you'll like her. Stephen eay* she's a nice gal.” “Stephen ear#! Aa If a man over head ears In love wouldn’t say anything.” "I wtoh he’d told us who she waa." Mrs. Nlabett groaned again. Joel went out to the woodpile, the everyday alirine whence he generally derived what little of philosophic inspiration ha had. “Mm. Niebe'trt!” It we* a eoft littl* voice, and the old lady’s face relaxed? Instinctively aa It sounded on her enre. “Why, Lida Tremaine —’taln’t you!” “It I*. I’ve done everything that Aunt Constance wanted, and now I’ve Juet run to see if you don’t need a bit of help.” She stood In the doorway, a fair little apparition, all flushed nod rosy with the November wind, while her blue eye# sparkled as If they were twin sapphire* bidden away under her long, dark lashes. She waa neither blond nor brunette, but a fresh cheeked girl, with nut brown heir, skin like the leaf of a damask rone, a straight, refined noee and lip* ae ripe os a red crabapple, though by no mean# so sour. Generally she had a demur* eoet of gravity lingering about her face, but when she did laugh a dimple cam# eat upon her cheek and a row of pearly teeth glimmered instantaneously. In on* hand ah# carried a bunch of lute autumn flowers. “See!" she cried, holding them up. "I ■nnsacked Aunt Constance’s garden for •base. I knew that big vase on the mantel needed something, and, with a branch or ae of scarlet learea, I’ll have a royal bouquet to help yon keep Thanksgiving.” Mm. Nlabett. took tb* fair oval face between her two hand* and kissed the fresh Uttle mouth. “Set down, Lida,” she said. “I wasn’t • calculatin’ to have no aech fixin’a up, but yon’v# root a way, child, I can’t never say no to yon.” “But yon’r* going to keep Thankegivh»g," cried Lida, throwing off her outer wrapping* and dancing up to the looking -gloss like a little gale of wind, “because you invited Aunt Constance and me to dinner and because your eon la coming “Yes, child, yen,” said Mrs. Nlabett, sub aiding once more Into the mournful Imp fl«nn which Lida's sndden appearance had momentarily aroused her. **XeeTs got the turkey shut up in a coop, •atf the bakin’* done, end I’m Juet a-fix-kf them apples, and ” “Oh, eh,” cried Lida, who had flub •mad to Ae window, "what glorious red lane— speckled over with little drops of |pd«l May I make eoma wreaths for As wolf Oh. please aay yes” Km Nlabett said “yea’’—it weald have

been bard work to aay “no" to Lida—and Ae girl aooo cam* In, her apron full of A# spriga of Ao oM maple tree, whose shadowy boughs kept tha window veiled wIA cool Aadows through Aa glaring summer day* and showered fading gold upon tha dead graas when the autumn came. Mrs. Nlabett looked wIA tenderness upon Ae graceful little figure seated on Aa faearA rug, when A* shin* of A* high heaped logs lost Itself In her bright hair and mads sparkles in her eye#, as Aa wreathe and trails of autumn leaves grew rapidly beneaA her deft fingers. “Lida,” aha said softly, “Lida, my dearl” Lida looked up. "I saw your Aunt Constance yesterday but there's somethin' reserved about her, and I didn’t like to ask about you—whether you bad decided to go out as a governess or not; because, my dear, Joel and I were talkin’ last night, and we both Aought what a c pro fort it would ba to have you here.” “To have me here?” “We’re old and we're alone, and edn*how we’ve boA took a fancy to you, my child. So when your Aunt Constance goes back to A* city, If yon choose to come here” — Mrs. Nlabett paused abruptly and buret into tears. “We had a littl* girl once, my dear, and if she'd lived ah# would ha’ been nigh about your age.” Lida let A# leaves drop down on the floor as she sprang up and threw boA arms round Ae old woman's neck. “Oh, Mm. NiAett,” ah# whispered •oftly, “you an so very, very kind. Believe me, I appreciate It all, but —but— I hardly know how to tell you.” Mm. Nlabett listened Intently. Lida smiled and cried a littl* and then whispered so low it was scarcely audible. “I am going to be married.” “Married!” ejaculated Mrs, Nlabett, wMh all a woman's Interest In Ala important place of Information. “And who to?” "Your ton Uvea la lowa—in Partington?*’ “Yaa.” “Well, did he ever mention Ao name of ’’ Lida paused, her cheeks glowing roses. Old Nlabett bad come in with an armful of wood, bringing a gale with him from Ae frosty outer world. “I'll tall you by and by,” whispered Lida aa Ae went back to her work. “Joel’ll go out again arter awhile,” thought Mm. NiAett, “and then I’ll hear about Lida’s beau.” But Joel sat down before the fire with a complacent satisfaction which boded 111 for Ae gratification of his wife’s curiosity, and finally accompanied Lida home, thus frustrating all hie wife’s designs and cutting off her chance of hearing Llda’a story. "Dear mal” Aought Ae. “I don’t believe the man was ever born who knowed when he wasn’t wanted! How lonesome It seems when Lida’s gone! What does Ae girl want to get married for when I could ha* took such a sight o’ comfort with her? Oh, dear, dear! It does seem a* if A* world was all askew 1” The next day, In spite of the weaAer prophet’# prediction of enow, dawned clear and brilliant aa A* dying smile of Indian summer. By 11 o'clock Mm. Nisbett waa dressed la her beet allk and cap, wIA Ae turkey browning beautifully In the oven and A# cranberry tarts doing credit to themselves as well ns to Aeir maker, A* table set, Ae lire high heaped with crackling logs and Ae plates dressed wIA coronals of autumn leaves. Aunt Constance, a tall, prim maiden lady of uncertain ago, atood before Ae bedroom looking glaas arranging her coiffure. Lida, In a blua dresa wIA a late autumn rose A her hair, waa tripping hither and thlAer as light footed and helpful aa half a dozen household fairies merged Into one, while Mrs. Nlabett stood regarding her with a loving eye, murmuring to heMalf: “Well, well, It aeema like It waa Ae Lord’s will to deny ua of Just what we moat want, but If I had a daughter I could wish Ae was like Lida.” A* the old kltAon clock struck 1 Mm. Nisbett, looking from Ae window, gave a little cry, “There he cornea —Aere comes Joel, and, as 1 live, Aere’s Ae boy with him!” Lida ran Into Ae bedroom. When she returned, Mm. Nlabett waa

clasped in the arms of a tall, handsome man of four or flva and twenty. “Lida,” said Aa proud matron, Arlw lng to disengag# hemelf from A# ifil tlonat# clasp, “Ala la my ton Stephen, and—why, whafa A# matter?” For Stephen hats dropped her band* with an exclamation of aurpris# and amazement, and Lida stood Aera glowing crimson. “Lida! Why, moAer, this Is a surprise Indeed that yon have prepared for met” "I prepared 1” echoed A* astonished old lady. “Well, Aat’s a good un, when I’m ten times as much surprised aa yon bel Lida, what doe# Ala mean?*’ “It mean*,” said Lida, with a demur# smile—she waa beginning to recover bar scattered aelf-poaeeaslon—-“It mean# Aat Ais ia Ae gentleman I am to be married to!” / “Stephen!” cried Mm. Nisbett, “la Lida to be your wife?” “She has given me her promise to Aat effect, at leaet,” said Stephen, looking proudly down upon hie lovely little fiancee. “Well, if It don’t beat all how queer things do happen!” said Mm. Nisbett, her face radiant. “And you’ve been livin’ neighbor to me Aeee six weeks and I never knowed It Lida, why didn’t you tell me?” "Because I never dreamed that Stephen Risingham, my betrothed western lover, was anything to Mrs. Nisbett” said Lida, laughing. “There ’tie, now!” ejaculated Ae farmer. “How waa she to know that*he waa only my nephew, adopted when his parent# died, twenty good year* ago? Wa’v# always called him son, and he’* alwaya been a son to ua. But Lida didn’t know. Old woman, what do you aay to Stephen’* wife?” Mm. Nisbett clasped Lida to has heart. “I do say,” aha ejaculated, “this la the thankfullest Thanksgivin’ I ever lived ta see!”—New York Daily Newa.

On Thanksgiving Week.

The Leader of Ae Runaways—Don’t be alarmed, my dears; it’s nothing but a vegetarian hunting for edible fungi.

Thanksgiving Day.

Our pilgrim fathers left ua a good Example when Aey set aside a day In which to devote our thoughts to counting up the blessings of Ae year—not only to outside cauee# of prosperity, such as the abundance of our crops, th# good fruit year, pence and plenty everywhere, but we should count our personal blessings, “one by one;” even in Aos* where sorrow and trouble are svsr present—Ae blessings would outnumber the afflictions. Is it not something to see Ae blue sky and Ae green fields, to hear A* joyous song of the birds, to hsv* A* use of our limbs, and, bettor far, s clear brain and an active mind? Lot os keep our hearts tuned to praise and thanksgiving, Aen we will bring smiles to oAer faces Ast seldom smile. These are little Aings, but Ilf* is mads up of Httl# things.

OIL MAKING FARMERS RICH.

Sensational Rise In' 1 Price Censes Exploitation of Old Fields. The rapid and almost sensational increase in the price of oil during the last few months has caused Ac oil fields in Indiana and Ohio to be exploited in- a manner unprecedented except In the boom days when oil first was discovered in this territory. Operators have been stirred into activity, nud rigs have been erected to dritl for oil over p vest area contiguous to the known oil fields which hitherto hnd been left untested. The price of the crude oil In Indiana and Ohio has been advanced over 40 Ceuta a bnrrel during the past year, and ’ ft is now selling from $1.27 a bnrrel in Indiana to as high as $1.32 a barrel in some Ohio districts. That the advance in price is degtined to continue for some time is conceded by all oil men, and some of them even venture the prediction Aat it will not stop until $1.50 a barrel has been reached. • Agents of the Standard ,011 Company, who buy most of the oil produced in the Ohio and Indiana fields, are stimulating the people to drill more wells. Everywhere they are urging operators to put down “wildcat” wells, the term commonly applied in the oil conutry to test wells drilled in territory outside of the known oil belt. The sensational rise in the price of oil began little more than a mouth ago. From 8G cents, which was the ruling price in October, 1902, it gradually had risen to $1.12. Suddenly the Standard Oil Company, which makes the price iu these fields, boosted it to $1.14, nnd within three weeks was offering $1.25 and higher. Wells that have long been abandoned because their flownge was not sufficient to pay the expense of pumping when the prhy of oil was less than $1 have been started again owing to the increased price. Farmers, who own most of the oil lands, which they lease to operators for a royalty ranging frrom one-tenth to onesixth of the output, are benefiting from the renewed activity and consequent increase in their revenues. The marked and alarming decrease iu the production of oil in the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields is declared by oil men to be the cause of the--advancing price in Ae Indiana and Ohio fields. The production of crude oil in Pennsylvania has fallen, it is said, below the consumption, and the surplus stock has been decreased 6,000,000 barrels in two years.

LABOR MEN IN UPROAR.

Storm in Convention Over Socialist Resolution. An outbreak of hisses from the galleries of Fnnetiil Hall, in Boston, when socialistic resolutions were reported unfavorably in the American Federation of Labor convention Tuesday afternoon, caused President Gompers to order the galleries cleared. Amid many hostile expressions the crowd was expelled from the building. For the first time during the convention the question of whether the organization should commit itself to the doctrines of socialism came squarely before the delegates. The question was not answered, as shortly before 6 o’clock an adjournment was taken until the next day. Some nine resolutions favoring public ownership and the organization of a political party to bring about conditions the socialists seek were all reported on unfavorably by the committee on resolutions. At once the long arranged plan of the socialist delegates to fight for the adoption of their principles was put into operation by Delegate Hayes of Cleveland. He offered a substitute for the committee’s report, but was ruled out of order. At this point the demonstration from the spectators led President Gompers. to order the galleries cleared. The ejected people, numbering several hundred, assemgled outside Faneuil Hall and adopted resolutions condemning President Gompers for his action.

SUSTAINS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Ofaio Supreme Court Declares It Msjr Be Practiced in the State. The Ohio Supreme Court holds that Christian Scientists violate no Ohio statutes in practicing the teachings of Aeir creed. The matter came up on error in the case of the State versus Sylva and Leotta Bishop from Butler County. The defendants were parents of an 8-year-old daughter who was badly burned, but, being Christian Scientists, they refused to call a physician, it was alleged, and depended entirely upon their religious treatment for relief. The child died, and later the grand jury returned an indictment charging the parents with manslaughter. In the trial the judge charged the jury to bring in a verdict of ncquittal on the ground that no existing statute had been violated. The prosecutor of the county, Holmes Oard, carried the question up on exceptions, which the Supreme Court overruled without comment.

Grateful Dog Saves Boy.

Walter De Witt, 17 years old, of Brookdale, N. J., owe# his life to the gratefulness of a mongrel dog to which he tossed a bone the other day. The dog was a homeless outcast that had been kicked and beaten and shot at by the entire neighborhood. De Witt’s kindness won the cur's everlasting friendship and he followed the boy everywhere. Young De Witt had a self-made raft on which he was paddling about on Town House pond when It struck a snag and capsized. The boy could swim but little and had all he could do to keep himself afloat. The only being within reach of his voice was the mongrel, branded aa a chicken thief nnd with hide scarred from bullets, but the grateful brute swam to liis assistance and by this aid alone was Ae lad enabled to reach the shore in safety.
