" - y- Old Uncle Jake bad wound the dock and turned the cat out­ doors, And long before had finished up his winter evening chores; And his good wtte had ceased to knit with yarn of whit* and blue. And cone to bed to dream such dreams as women often do. The hlck'ry fire was burning low--outside the night was drear-- The ground was white with falling snow, and dying as the year; Anon there came a harder gust to make the windows shake. And send a shiver creeping up the spine of Uncle Jake. "By gum!" he said, as he sat down in his old rocking-chair, And drew it up before the fire--"I swan and do declare I'd most forgot Thanksgivln' Day, which will be here to-moxrer. With Joys fur lots of people, and, fur others lots of sorrer. "Now let me see, what I kin do to make a day of cheer Fur them that's wurser off than me, and llvin' fur and near; t Because I've got a principle that's guided purty true, y And that is do to other folks as they should do to yeu. "There's Wldder Parks and her two boys--her corn was poor this fall, A And as fur 'taters, 'twas too wet to git a crop at all; c^ I'll load a bag upon the sled, and add a squash ot two. Together with a fat young goose, and bid her hewdy-do. "There's Anson Jones, whose leg was broke by his old spotted cow, I can't exactly understand the whyfore nor the how; But broke It was and he's in bed a-feelin'. mighty bad. But I'll purceed to-morrer morn to make .him mighty glad. "There's W'irtder Schemer horn, who lives a-top o" Lampson's hill-- I heard from Hiram Crane last night her youngest gal was ill; I never spoke to her but once, and mebber shouldn't care. But all along «' other things a dollar 1 will spare. "There's Captin Carter, poor eld ntan, who's older f«r than me. And who's bin havln* tarnal luck since he come home from sea; And Moses Flint he went and climbed upon his wagon shed. And took a fall that hurt him so the nayburs thought him dead. "And Henry Jed he broke his arm a-workin' on the road. And I'll chip in along o' them that's helpin' bear his load; And I'll arrive at nine o'clock to shake Joe Taylor's hand. And let him know he's got a friend a-livin in this land. "I'll wring a dosen pullets' necks, and half a dosen geese-- Six turkeys I'll pick out to kill, Thanksgivln' Day to grease; I'll bag a lot of pippins up, and cider not furgit. And make the folks around here feel that there are Christians yit. "A dozen squashes T kin spare, and pumpkins quite a score. And Martha'U add the cake and Jell, as she has done before; And drat my hide about the snow--It may be three feet deep. But ril be out by eight o'clock, unless--I--go--to--sleep." • • • • • • Old Uncle Jake had shut his eyes and leaned back In his chair. And gone Into the land of dreams to greet his neighbors there; When some one came and pulled his ear and gave him quite a poke. And some one grinned and laughed aloud and then beside him spoke: "See here, my man. It's twelve o'clock, and so, unless you're dead. You'd better git a hustle on and come along to bed; For when the mornin' comes agin' 'twill be Thanksgivln' Day, And you have got to load the sled and hump yourself r.way." GOOD GAMES FOR THE AFTERNOON. After the big Thanksgiving dinner has been disposed of, the young folks will want to be entertained In some other way. Let the fun begin with a rousing game called the Turk-he. For this a huge turban is made of newspa­ per, and lots are cast to decide who will first wear it. The person to whom the chance falls then dons the cap, and is known as his sublime highness the great Turk-he The Turk-he mar­ shals all the company into a half cir- de before him. He begins at once to put questions to hie subjects. The rule of the game decrees that if the Turk-he asks a question in which the words "and," "if," "why," "will" or "don't." one or all of them figure, the •abject remains silent. If the sen­ tence contains none of these words, the subject is obliged to answer im­ mediately. The excitement of the game consists in the rapidity in which the questions are put, and the neces­ sity of answering without much re­ flection. Any player who fails to an­ swer when he should, or who answers when he should not, Is obliged to per­ form some ludicrous feat by order of the Turk-he. Spelling "Turkey." Get a box of anagram letters and you are ready for still another mirth- proVoking game. Pour the chips into a paper or cloth bag. and shake up well. In order to break up all former combinations. Each person In turn puts his hand Into the bag and takes out one chip. This continues until no chips remain. Great secrecy mudt be observed, no player allowing any oth­ er player a glimpse of his chips. When all the chips have been dis­ tributed the players sit or stand In a circle, and the object of the game is explained. Everyone Is to try to be first in forming the word "turkey" with the letters. This can be done through the passing of the chips from one person to another. Bach player passes to his lefthand neighbor the letter which he thinks he is less likely to need. This passing must be continuous. A player Is not allowed to retain a letter because he thinks he may require it by and by. If it is not already in sequence for building tbe word he is obliged to pass it along-- that, of course, unless his hand con­ tains another with which he would .prefer to part For example. If the required "t" and Mu" are already in his hand, he is not obliged to pass on the "r," but if he holds the "t," "u" and "r," but not the Old Customs Pass, As the years go on the regulation Thanksgiving menu is not closely ad­ here to, and if one or two of the time- honored viands are served it is deemed enough. An acceptable menu consists of oavler, oysters on the half shell, tira- bale of flsh with lobster sauce, vol- au-vent in lieu of a chicken pie, roest ham, spinach, potato croquettes, apple and celery salad served with cream cheese, pumpkin and mi nee pie--- Caviar can be served in two ways. Foreigners universally serve it from ^tSe original package, which is a tin ;can, placed in a bowl of finely chopped Ice. With it Is passed small squares of dry toast, also quarters of lemon. Oysters served on the half shell .should always be opened on the deep, aa tbe shell will then retain the Kquor, which is a delicious portion of the oyster. Six oysters should be served to each person, and they should be placed on a bed of cracked ice aad lainon and horsera<Usb served with "k," then the "e" must be passed, unless he has another irrelevant let­ ter to throw away instead. Ten min­ utes, if the game is played rapidly, as it" should be, will decide the winning of the prize. A box of sweetmeats would be fetching as a reward of good work in the game. In th« Tropics. Think of fanning yourself with one hand while you pass the "sapodillas" on the "dia de gracias." Then spend the afternoon trying to get cool in the shade of a palm Do all this and Imagine it is Thanks­ giving day--if you can! Yet that is what Uncle Sam's proc­ lamation has brought to thousands of his children. Without the silver treble of a single sleigh bell, or the glory of a football fight, Thanksgiving remains Thanks­ giving stilly if but the noble bird is spared to us. feare as the attic may be, if the charitable visitor send but a neatly plucked bird and kindling wood, heaven will provide the match, and Thanksgiving day is a reality. No wonder tha Porto Ricans and the Filipinos were suspicious--as they were, at first--of this feast day. They bad no childish memories of long snug rides tucked down under a buffalo robe along with the foot warmer and a basket of oranges; of the delicious snow-padded bumps over uneven roads in the journey to grandpa's. They had never grown hoarse with yelling on the side lines, nor roasted chestnuts with their cousins--or someone else's --while the dial Indexed nearer and nearer to the Friday that meant "no more Thanksgiving for another year." Filipinos, accustomed to the empty holidays of (.he Spanish calendar, found It hard at first to believe in the good intentions of a "fiesta" that real­ ly meant a "feast." The glorious Fourth, the "Cuatro de Julio," as they call It, with its firecrackers and half day of idleness, its "danza" and its surreptitious cockfight in the evening, had introduced no novelty. They took to it as a duck to Its hereditary mill pond. It will require as many moons for them to develop a Thanksgiving tradition, as to learn how to wear a frock coat without its sagging. And when they do, it will have to be a tra­ dition of yams and baked banana and guava instead of cranberries, and palm-leaf fans instead of bufTalo robes. It will always be, la short, the dreamy "fiesta" of tbe tropics at 90 degrees in the shade, instead of the brisk en­ thusiasm of tbe Northern Thanksgiv­ ing. Fish timbale can be made of cod, halibut or white fish. It is essential that the meat of the flsh should be perfectly white. Cut one pound of very fresh uncooked flsh into small pieces, put it into a mortar and pound until the fiber is well settled in the meat; then press it through a puree sieve; to every cupful of fish add one tablespoonful of bread crumbs soaked in milk or cream until soft, and then press through a sieve; add also the beaten yolk of one egg, ten drops of onion juice, one teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper a dash of nutmeg. Beat all well together and for some time to make it light. Then for ev­ ery cupful of pulp beat in lightly the whites of two eggs whipped very stiff. Put the mixture into a well-buttered mold, filling it only three-quarters full; set it into a pan of warm water, covering three-quarters of the mold; cover the mold with greased pape* and place in a moderate oven twenty minutes. Do net let the water boil Turn the tlmbate onto a hot <Usfc poor over it a lobster saace.- VA9CLINK. Everybody knows the great valne of this remedy in the hf»usehal<l. but everybody does not know that the imitations of it, which some second class drug-gists dishon­ orably palm off on their customers, have little or no value. What should be under­ stood by the public is, that it is not a mere question of comparative value between "Vaseline" and the imitations, but that the imitations do not effect the wonderful heal­ ing results of the world renowned "Vase­ line," and that they are not the same thing nor made in the same way. Besides this, many of the imitations are hannful.irri- tant and not safe to use, while true vase­ line is perfectly harmless. Perfect safety therefore lies in buying enlv original bottles and other packages put up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co. Attention is called to their Capsicum Vas®- tine advertised in another column. "Renovating" Butter. Butter that does not taste quite as fresh as it. should may be greatly im­ proved by putting in a wooden chop­ ping bowl with salt water and thor­ oughly working it over and over with a butter worker or even a potato masher.. Pour off the salt water and substitute sweet milk, working it into the butter In the same way. Finally wasji well with clear, cold water. Effective Way to Clean Bottle. A water bottle that has become stained and dirty should have a few tea leaves and a tablespoonful of vin­ egar put into it-aad should then be well shaken. Riase out thoroughly with clear water. If tbe bottle be stained it will be wall to let the tea leaves and vinegar remain in it for some hours, and it may be necessary to use a bottle brush.

A woman who has used Poetam Food Coffee since it came upon the market eight years ago knows from experience tbe necessity of using Pos- tum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At tbe time Postum was first put on the market I was suffer- lng from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I de­ cided to take his advice and try Poe- tum and got a sample and had it care­ fully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects con­ vinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness aBd dyspepsia. "My husband bad been drinking cof­ fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily aad boa- estly strengthens the nerves aad the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Pos­ tum for eifht years with completely satisfying results as skown in eur fine coadttien of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improve­ ment in brain and nerve power."

Baron -Hermann Von Stengel, Em* peror Williams' new chancellor ef the exchequer, is confronted by one of the knottiest financial problems with which modern Germany has ever had to wrestle--how to meet increasing national expenditure with a corre- BAP0N VONSTlNOti spondingly decreasing revenue. The solution of the question will involve a practical revolution in the system of government finance--new arrange­ ments with the various Independent states of the empire with reference to pro rata contributions to the imperial treasury, new schemes of internal and external taxation, a possible reorgani­ zation of the national currency and a score of other vexing propositions. WHERE DEATH IS PLEASANT. Many Tramps Who Take Their Last Sleep on Burning Culm Bsnks. Death comes in many forms in the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania, but only one form is painless and pleas­ ant, and to only one the victims go unconsciously. It is the death of the burning culm bank. Many times during the year is such a death recorded when one of these great culm banks Is burning. The fire is not seen in the daytime, and at nigh£ it shines only with a faint glow through the layers of ashes which separates the live coals from the out­ er air. To these burning banks tramps and other unfortunates, forced to spend a night in the open air, go when the nights grow chilly. The warm breath of the culm lures them on with a promise of & warm bed for the night, and they lie down to sleep in the com= fortable atmosphere of the bank and never open their eyes again. The noxious gases emanating from the bank waft over them so softly that they are soon asleep, and In many cases they never awaken, being suffo­ cated during the night. TAKES REFUQE IN SUICIDE. Charged With Corrupt Deals, Italian Csbinet Minister Takes Hie Life. Pietro Rosana, Italy's leading law­ yer and for a short time a member of the cabinet as minister of finance, committed suicide at his home in A PJLTRQ R0SANQ- Naples. Rosano was charged by the socialists with having during his ca­ reer been mixed up in corrupt deals. He left a note for his wife saying that these charges were more tLan he could bear. Pastor Pute Ban on Dancing. Rev. Dr. Hubbard, pastor of the Bed­ ford Heights Baptist church, Brooklyn, has jarred the young people of his church into his way of thinking by putting his pastoral fopt down heavily. These young people of both sexes planned a benefit dance for the raising of funds for a church organ. Dr. Hub­ bard suggested some other form of enterprise. The projectors ignored the hint and went ahead. Then the doctor said: "No, you shall not dance any­ where in the official name of this church." All the old people ef the church backed him up and the dance has been called off. Profits from Wagner's Operas. Frau Oosima Wagner, widow of the great composer, is believed to be draw­ ing about $120,000 a year in royalties from her late husband's operas, in spite of the fact that he squandered his copyrights in many cities. From the Paris grand opera alone her an­ nual receipts are about $20,000, and the Baireuth .profits are close to $50,- 000 every yeir. Strauss to Edit Musical Magazine. Richard Strauss--now, since his re­ cent degree in philosophy from the University of Heidelberg, "Dr." Rich­ ard Etrauss--is to be the editor of a new maga&ine soon to make its ap­ pearance in Berlin under the title ef Die Musik. It will be devoted to musical aesthetics and biography. Senator Quay's Indian Blood. Seaator Quay's, receatly expressed idea about an Indian senator from oae of the proposed new states recalls the tact that a strain of Indian bleed flows through his own veins. It is of Dela­ ware origin and these of that tribe even sow regard him as oae ei thiai selves. THE REAL CHINESE MINISTER. Ambassador's Dsughter In the Place ef Power. It is a very smaH foot that Miss Liang puts down, but it means busi­ ness. She is the charming and high- spirited little daughter of the new Chinese minister at Washington. Her will is law where her father is con­ cerned, and it must be to anyone who sees her. When she was on her way to Washington she made a stop of several days In San Francisco, and she was besieged with invitations, of which she accepted very few. Pho­ tographers tried every means to gain her consent to pose for them, but she positively refused. Her father begged her to grant some of the requests, but In vain. "When she won't she won't." he said in despair, "and what can I do? I don't like to use force." So the young lady had her way, and it was a perverse one. "I can prophesy who the Chinese minister will be," said one disgruntled pursuer; "she isn't five feet tall, and she wears a little round black bang. But she's going to run the affairs of China in America." • It's a wise worm that stays under cover and deprives the early bird ef his breakfast. • f;S, The Doctor's Statement. St. John. Kan., Nov. 16.--This town has a genuine sensation in the case of a little boy, tbe son of Mr. and Mrs. William McBride. Dr. Limes, the at­ tending physician, says: "Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type brought this child very near to death and when the fever left him he was semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear, and his mind was much affected. "His parents tried another treat­ ment for a time and when I was re­ called I found that he was having spells very like Epilepsy and was very bad and gradually growing worse. 1 advised the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in a short time the child began to improve. Inside of a week the nerv­ ous spasms or epileptic seizures ceased altogether." Mr. and lVirs. McBride have made a sworn statement of the facts and Dr. Jesse I* Limes has added hie sworn statement saying that Dodd's Kidney Pills and Bothing else cured the fits. Revarnishing Furniture. Sandpapering furniture is a tedious job, and the woman who wishes to re- varnish or paint a chair or table will find her hands and patience saved if she will use one third of a cupful of common washing soda to a pint of warm water, with a good scrubbing brush, to remove Ihe old finish. Rinse off with clear water and do not at­ tempt to put on the new coat until the piece is thoroughly dry. Fixing Broom Handles. To fix a broom handle first bore a hole sideways through the handle and into the head of the broom. Then take a long nail, dip it in water and hammer tt well Into the bole. The wet nail will soon become rusty and the rust will make it extra firm in Its hold. How's This ? We offer One Hundred Dollar* Reward for *ny cue Of 0«l*rrh lh»t cannot l>e cured by C»tt*rh Cure. r.
