WALT MASON

The Poet Philosopher. I much admire that stately ship in which our fathers made the trip from England’s stormy shore; unless I've badly- crossed my wires,, there must have been ten thousand sires upon its deck, or more. It must have been a rubber craft, so it would stretch, both fore and aft, to hold so many men; the pilgrim fathers were so thick the captain couldn't heave a brick, but he’d hit eight or ten. One hundred sailed, the record claims, and some were children, some were dames, one hundred made the trip; yet there are countless families whose bold ancestors crossed the seas, on that elastic ship; I’ve traveled east, I’ve traveled west; wherever I have been a guest, the host would proudly say, “My grandsire’s grandsire’s grandsire’s dad sailed in the Mayflower, when a lad, to Massachusetts Bay.” I’Ve stopped at times in swell hotels, where all the haughty gents and belles looked on me as a wreck, because I am the only skate whose fathers didn’t pile their freight upon the Mayflower’s deck. My father’s father’s father’s sire a passage tried to book by wire ere telegraphs were known; and thus he missed that famous ship, and didn’t see the skipper skip, and I am left alone.

Some Hog Story, This.

Princeton, Ind., Nov. 18.—J. E. Toop, near Ft. Branch, says he has the most intelligent hog in Hoosierdom. Recently, in spite of tight fences, a hog bad been getting into a corn field. Mr. Toop was puzzled. The other day he arrived Jbst in time to see the hog, some distance away, start on a dead run for the fence. At the fence a big wild grapevine hung low- from a tall tree. As the hog reached the tree it leaped up and caught the vine. The momentum started it swinging and the hog continued to swing until it was going high enough to carry it over the fence on the corn field side. There it let go and dropped safely. Mr. Toop said he would not have believed the incident possible had he not witnessed it.

Round About Thanksgiving Time

OH, ths time is getting nearer when I’ll pack my grip and fly To the little home off yonder where th* meadows touch the £ky, Where the cribs are fairly bursting with the corn they’ve gathered in And the orchards now are sleeping till the days of spring begin, Where the dear old mother waits mo and the dear old dad looks wise As he views the shining turkey and the rcW of pumpkin pies, And I almost hear him chuckle: "It** Thanksgivin’ day once more! Soon a mighty hungry feller will b* knockin’ at the door.”

"WHERE THE DBAR OLD MOTHER WAITS ME.”

I can see the dear old mother in the kitchen baking things That would glad the eyes and palate* of the proudest of our kings. I can see the pumpkin glowing as she fills the snow white crust, And my soul this very minute feels the old time wanderlust. Oh, I’ll soon be treading backward o’er the paths that once I knew To the old home in the valley, to the old folks, good and true. You were right, dad, when you chuckled as you paced the kitchen floor, "Soon a mighty hungry feller will com* knockin’ at the door.” You can bet I’m mighty hungry—mighty hungry just to see The old smiles beaming brightly and to feel they're all for me. Oh, I’m hungry just to kiss you and to feel your arms again Sort of loving-like around me as you once embraced me when I was leaving for the city, and I’m hungry just to squeeze Dear old mother as I used to and to sit upon her knees. Oh, there is no use denying it’s Thanks* giving day once more. "Soon a mighty hungry feller will come knockin’at the doer.” —Detroit Free Press,

A Plain American’s Thanksgiving

Having lived more thun u half century In America, a descendant of the early settlers, and having given to my children the message of hope received .from my parents, 1 am qualified to express publicly a word of thanksgiving, says a correspondent of the New York Evening Post, inseparable in my mind are our Father, my country, my home, my neighbor. Thus apply: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not wqnt. “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. “He restoreth my soul; be leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for bis name’s sake. “Yea, though 1 walk in the valley oi the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” And America, like the good wife in Proverbs, “shall do me good and not evil all the days of my life.” My country, ’tls of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Here more than elsewhere on earth is practiced that sum of knowledge, “Love one another." America. I thank, I love, I serve thee. Thy honor Is mine. My best, my all» are thine. America’s best is yet to be.
