Though why she couldn’t be content on the neatest little forty acres in all Blair county, that poor Silas slav< I no hard for and left her when he died of typhus, is. as I told Eleanor Winner, when we was talkin’ It over at the mite society, the day it met at your house.

For mv port 1 never was one o’ them rovin' kind, and there ain't a citizen in all Brownsville that has stuck any closer thauMet hetabelßrow n for the past sjxty odd years, if I can’t vote and do say it as shouldn’t. / “The Browns never was of that unstable diapoaitioa. There was my great grandfather. Ebenezer Brown: he settled on that eighty just south of the meetin’ house when there wasn’t a white man nearer than fifteen miles. He come to stay and he stayed. When he died my grandfather took the same place and I’ve heard him say be never went beyond line butwnce In thirty years, and that was in lookin’ after aome stray fiktHe* Then there was tnj father.

o’ them peaceable, home-lovin’ men, and : liked to took a fit when he was subpornied on the jury to Millersburg the | time Nat Williams stole them sheep. “As for Lindy and me, you know as well j as I do, we ain’t slept outside this house in forty year, exceptin’ the time when Cousin Emily was married, and nothin’ would do but we must go to the weddin’. . It was. all fuss and flutter. We never got to bed ’till near midnight, and I like to never closed my eyes to 1 sleep a w ink .the whole night. Lindycome home next day with a nervous headache that lasted her until Sunday mornin’, and she wouldn’t have gone out then only it was communion. But, poor girl, she’s sleepin’ quiet enough under the snow this winter,” and Miss Mehetabel drew a long sigh and brushed aside another tear. ' “As I was sayjn’. Mis’ Williams, what with all these changes, to say nothin’ of the belfry blow in’off the meetin’ house and inakin’ it look so sort o' squatty, this has ben the longest, dreariest year of all my life. To be sure I ain’t got anything to complain of so far as creature comforts is concerned,’’ glancing approvirigly around the tidy kitchen, and through the open door at the spotless dimity curtains of the best room. “But I don’t seem to 'have no livin’ soul to take an interest in; and nobody to take an interest in me. exceptin' Rover and the parrot, and they are both like to die of old age most any day. “I ain’t got no heart to eat nor ts ork. Ft Used to be so cozy like when Lindy and me w-as here together, she Bettin’ on one side of the table and me the other. I always poured the tea and she dished the sauce. Lindy wjjs good company —sort o’ cheerful like, even after she took that hackin’ cough that proved th® death o’ her, as I always said it wquld if it lasted long enough. “We was only two old maids, Lindy nnd me. but w e w as happy and comfortable. What with the weekly prayermeetin’ rollin’ round bo often: the mite society nnd the quarterly mee'tin’ cornin’ off once in three months, .and the presidin’ elder ’stoppin’ with us on account of the-preacher always happenin’ to have so many children and bein’ sca’ce o’ spare beds, we hadn't much time to be lonesome. , , “But .it’s all changed now Lindy’s I gone. I turn sort o* sick and -faint when I think of Thanksgivin’ coinin' j on, and I settin' here and eatin’ turkey an 1 cranberry sauce all by myself,” and Miss Mehetabel, under pretense of rinsing-her potatoes, walked to the sink faud dried her fast-filling eyes on the . snowy towel. “Mr. Williams anu I have thought ■ and talked it all over. Mehetabel," said the little, pastor’s wife, w ho had sat half smiling, half sweeping, but at the same time busily stitching away on a child’s apron during MisSs Mehetabei's lengthy discourse. “tVe both think you ought not to live here alone as you have been doing, when there are hundreds of destitute children who need just such , love and care as you are able to give. A child w ould be a great blessing in your i lonely home. Have you ever thought I of this, Mehetabel'?” “Strange! But do you know I was thinkin' about that very thing only yesterday.

nothin’ as far as this world’s goods go “If she could only be here by Thanksgiving. But there! I’Ve an idee. Wh A . not have ’em all over here to dinner, and you and Mr. Williams come, too? That would make—let me see—twelve besides myself. The best china wouldn’t hardly go 'round. But that doesn’t matter. I can eat off one o’ them blue plates just as well. Two turkeys ought to do, with plenty of mince pies and cranberry sauce. I’ve got ’em, too, as fat, sleek turkeys as ever was put on a platter. We could talk it over then, sort o’ quiet, while the children played. It wouldn’t be so lonesome as to look . forward to settin’ down all by myselfI feel more cheery already. But dear, dear how I have run on! It’s quarter to twelve this minute, and these potatoes only half cooked, and you settin* by starvin’ for your dinner.” Thanksgiving morning dawned dear and cold without, but within the snug home of Miss Mehetabel Brown there was warmth and comfort. This was to be a great day in her quiet, uneventful life. Preparations had been making for days. Miss Mehetabel had taken from the , upper bureau drawer in the spat® bed- ; room that very morningiundry knitted tidies and mats, together with a pair of highly-colored and embroidered pillowshams that never saw the light excepting upon state occasions. These, with i a huge beaded pincushion, purchased by Miss Mehetabei’s grandmother from i a genuine Indian princess, and which now rested primly upon the old-fash-ioned dresser, showed that the occasion : in her eyes was one of great and unusual interest. In the snug pantry all was in readiness. There were rows of mince aipd ■ pumpkin pies, tender and toothsome; dainty preserves and jellies ail ready to “set on,” while from the oven of the bright little range in the kitchen pro- I ceeded savory odors wondrously suggestive. Miss Mehetabel herself was arrayed , in her best brown hierino, carefully pro- ; fccted by a neat white apron. She had : hesitated in making her toil,et between the ordinary gold breast-pin to fasten her linen collars and a pale green ribbon bow with white lace at the ends, which had been her one piece of extrav- j ugance at Cousin Emily’s w edding. “It isn’t out of keepin' with this occasion,” she murmured softly to herself at last, as the balance turned in favor of the latter. “It brightens me up a bit,” and she carefully pinned it on and adjusted the ends. "Thanksgiving only comes once a yenr at best, and such a one as this but once or twice, in a life time.” There was a sudden at the front door. In walked the preacher and his family, followed by Mrs. Ellis and her little flock, made as presentable as their scanty means would allow. AU was excitement and merry talk, nnd soon the quiet house rang with the happy laughter of children. Dinner was «Uspatched by and by, ahd what a dinner it was, to be cure- never tc be forgotten by certain empty little stomachs. ~ * The great matter talked over after dinner,fw hen they were cozily sweated in the snug parlor.Xlt was not all news to Mrs? Ellis, for she had received a genilo bint f>k»m fl’-fl little pUBtOITS w ife a few days beforejfiid bad decided, like the brave, sensible poihan she was, to hide the pain of the parting in her own heart and think only of the best interests of her bright little girl. It was all settled at last, and the children were called in.for a parting hynvi and prayer. As they kntlt together in the gray winter twilight a deep, quiet joy stole into the desolate heart of Mehetabel Brown. She drew closer tocher the little form that knelt beside her. and whispered softly to herself amid her falling tears; “He setteth the solitary in families.” — Emma Searles Ulrich, in Union Signal A THANKSGIVING VENTURE. John Bradford’* Special lauon for Being Thankfully Thankful. There is a pretty story told in verse, with vivid illustrations, of a youth named John Bradford w ho attended a Thanksgivingdinner two hundred year* ago. This same youth was in lovewith a prim and pious Puritan maiden named Alice Fly nt, Wut fye could not gain a fair and square .answer from the maiden, w ho is described at church in this quaint and delightful fashion: “Fatr Allee Flynt had sat demure And meek the service through. The sweetest maiden ever shut In solemn, straight-backed pew. O. meek-faced Puritan, : For all your humble looks. You know a thousand, ways and wiles Not learned from spelling books!" After these goodly folks had said their prayers in Church there was a merry company invited to dine with Squire Flynt, father Os the fair Alice. The govenor was there, and John Bradford, who found more favor with the old folks than with his coquettish sweetheart. At the moment w hen the Thanksgiving dinner was served in true New England style, the governor arose and said: “Good friends, it seemeth well That each give thanks for some great gift. And special blessings telL" Two hundred years ago a more grateful spirit existed in men than now, and each guest rose, and in a spirit of pious gratitude gave his or her special reason for being thankfully thankful on Thanksgiving day. When John Bradford’s turn came, a happy conceit came to s his assistance. He was a goodly youth to look upon in his flowered waistcoat and powdered cue,, and he sac opposite the girl he loved, and who he felt pretty sure loved him. So he concluded to lay his fate on or daring chance. “I thank my God.” he said aloud. “For health, and. strength, and Ufa, But most for this: that Alice Flynt Has choae to be my wife." The daring of the deed surprised the guests into admiration of the brave youth, who sat down nearly suffocated 4 by the beating of his heart. As for the young lady; the history is not authentic in the matter, bat the ballad ends in this suggest h e and non-committal way: ••What said the pretty Puritan. And did she speak or no? Well, history salth that girls were girls Two hundred years ago." —Detroit Free Press. : A Good Suggestion. The fact is that we do not think enough of our blessings until we lose them, and that is an attitude that we should endeavor to change this Thank* firißg day.—Utidh Herold.

Grace before Meat. There’s a difference between being full of thanksgiving, and being full of Thanksgiving dainties. But the one thing generally leads to the other. How can it be helped when the turkey is so good, and the pie so enticing? Here’s a helpful hint. For that full feeling after Thanksgiving — take'a~pin. Not any pill, mind you. There are pills that won't help’ you. Take the pill that will. It's known as Ayer’s Pill — and it’s perfect. It is sugar-coated, pleasant to the palate, and its operation, like that of nature, is effective and without violence. Keep this in your mind if you want to enjoy the holiday season: Grace before meat, but a Pill after Pie.
