Saddles, bridles, tin cans,’ cants, and sundry large bottles labeled “Tonic" or "Bitters," and litter of every description, were hastily removed by Bob and Bill, while the others went back to the cattle.

But Hairy Bill's declaration deemed a little premature. He did not realize what stubborn things old habits are. ■ nor how weak Is human, will to resist temptation when once we begin giving way to little things. , One autumn day the. restraint-whieh Daisy‘s influence had held over her father's cowboys was rudely broken. I‘ay-day came, and the cowboys yielded to the pressure of old habit, rode over to old Purdey’s saloon in Deer Track cunyon, and had a day of it. , - They thefi rode past the ranch, i swearing, shooting and behaving as wildly as a party of Apaches. I The wild ride soon terminated. Bob's | pony was fiery, and the bacchanalian shouts maddenyd him. As his rider was discharging his revolver into the air he tore away and leaped madly over a rough bluff, leaving Bob A badly ! bruised on the jagged rocks below. i They \vere sober enough when they picked the poor fellow up and carried him to the ranch. “IV're plumb unfltten ter be in ther house (Ivhar? that iunereent leetle gal - is," said Hairy Bill, as the cowboys ! lingered at the door while Mr. Rainey and Daisy hungover the wounded man .•We've jest naterally e.’ifo ;.7.r<i our fool i 'selves, that’s wot!" ..

though he. declared: “She’s bou'.d ter make a reg’lar dude of me.’’ Thanksgiving day dawned bright in the valley, an I Rainey's ranch was early astir. The cowboys were as eager as schoolboys to help Daisy make it a joyous occasion. It was almost' dinner-time when Hairy Bill came driving up to the ranch in the light wagon. There was a motherly-faced woman by his side, and Daisy ran, out to welcome her. " The old lady kissed the child with happy tears in her eyes, then she was lecbanto Bob's room. - "Mother!" was the one joyful word he was able to utter he clasped het in his arms. "How did you happen tri come to see me. mother?” “It's all that blessed child's doings' Robert." s'Te answered. "She wrote me such a dear letter, telling me of ypnr accident and inviting me to come to See you and take Thanksgiving at the ranch.” „ ' •“This is the happiest o' my life!" cried Rob, as, half an hour later, they were all seated around the long ranch table eating of the- good things provided for the occasion. “That blessed leetle'un has done ma more . good ,A.han er hull carload o' preachers ckuld a’-do'ne.

Gibson, in Leslie's Weekly. * A REVIEW ©F THE DAY. : This I* the Only Ciountry Where a Thank»glvlnir Day I* ’Nationally Observed. ■ | There Is no country, except our own, i which lias adopted the custom of an annual Thanksgiving day. In Europe there have been times When the people gathered In vast and . chanted 'the "Te Deum” ns for some great victory <>n the btittlefl.el’i. 1 or the recovery of a ruler from jsickj ness, but they have 110 national fes? ’ tival like that. which we keep, when j the-cr’ ps of the field and the fruits of I the tLrchard have been safely garnered, 1 when the frosts of November chill the air and bleak skies and leafless [trees are heralds of the approaching winter. The ■ onlj' thing which bears a resemblance to our festival is the : English "Harvest Home.” and that is not known or celebrated except in [rural districts. X ' In the early history of ov.r country I there were often lapses in the regular : observance of Thanksgiving, nor was' it always for the same blessings that the people expressed their gratitude. The lot of tbuJli’grim Fathers was one of toil and privation, and it was not often that good fortune came to ‘them. They were better acquainted with fasts than feasts, but when any brightness entered' into their! lives they- were at once ready to "tejoice and give thanks." . During the revolutionary war there were a number of occasions when the people w ere' asked to take part in a ■ special thanksgiving, ' and after the permanent establishment of our governmet/t the New England states kept the feast with almost unbroken regularity After the civil war had ended it became almost an annual custom [for the president to issue a proclamation appointing the last Thursday of Jifivem-befii'-a day of general thanksgiving. Gradually the governor of statea fell into line, and ndde& their command to that of the chief magistrate of the republic. until now there Is not a common wealth in *which Thanksgiving has not received official recognition. Ina number of states, too. it has also been declared a legal hcliday,! and in this respect it shares equal! honors with Christmas aud Independence day. The argument has been sotuetime* advanced that, as the day is primarily meant to be one on which to return thanks for a bountiful harvest, it ohght to occur earlier in the year. It i.s true that our crops of grain and of fruit have all been gathered before Thanksgiving day, and that even then there is a suggestion of Christmas tide at home, on the streets and in the ■stores. But with all this, it is doubtful ii there would be the same warmth, the . same glad reunions, the same uni versa! observance of the festival, were it tc occur'w hen woods are Alorfpus wi‘h ! colors wliieh rival those of the sttnset, atfd landscapes k-ok more beautiful' through the wondrous haze of the Indian summer. ■' <. “When the frost is on the pumpkin.* when footsteps ritig on the bard country road,* when the lamp has to b« lit early and the log blazes on the hearth, then uomy the time forreunion, t he hours of innocent mirth and happy . laughter. Thanksgiving is essentially a day oi . of the gathering of our own kith and kin. When the spirit ot Christmas fills us we call together all our friends, we keep open house, so to , speak.

TRADE REVIEW. A Gradual Improvement in the Situation I® Noted. New York, Nov. 34. —R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review ot trade says: “There are some changes for the better. The gain is slow, and In some directions not very distinct, but the signs of it are a little more definite than last week. The most important of them is larger employment of. labor, answering a better demand on the whole for manufactured products. Much of this is due to the unnatur- * -*1 delay of orders for; the winter which resulted from long prolonged uncertainty, but it means actual Increase in earnings and purchasing power of the millions, and so gives promise qj a larger demand’in the future.. Prices of farm products in the aggregate do . not Improve, but the prevailing hopefulness is felt in somewhat larger transactions; "A little premium on gold, for the first time since I*7B, naturally excites some comment, even though it is only the smallest fraction, and apparently due to temporary causes- Undeniably it reflects a disposition to hold gold. ! whichV answers oto the desire of the government to get gold without redeem- ; Ing its notes. About Jo.SO-JsW has been drawn from the treasury by redemption • of notes, and it is supposed that much more will be withdrawn, perhaps after the award of bonds, so that the first payment may not raise the gold reserve higher than it was a I week ago. The upward tendency of sterling exchange points the same way: the admitted need of borrowing does not increase confidence. But after the treasury reserve has been replenished greater confidence may follow. “It is expected that a syndicate will bid for the full amount of bonds at a price making the rate 3 per cent, or a liule less, and that other bids will also be large? but how nnich gold the treasurywill get or keep is pncblifmatic, “There is no improvement in the demand for commercial loans and money still drifts to ’ . this center, scarcely any goin£, south and.none west ' “The wheat market,has lost this week the eent it gained last week, western receipts be- , . inc larger and. Atlantic exports are also larger , ' —s<’7.r>t busihels'.tigainjt TQS.itM last year—but these are,of small account compared with the I great visible supply.
