Alice was not given to re- pining, and yet as she began to take out the drawers of the old bureau she could not refrain from a few tears, not, you must understand, at parting with that piece of furniture. but at the dire ne- cessity which prompted the act. As she removed the first drawer her thoughts went back to the old farm- house not many miles north of Cinciuc nati, where she had passed her child- hood and received what share of Aunt Jane’s love was not given to her chick- en farm, which occupied the first place in her afiections. w â€" L-L-.. nub Lu LICL auvv uuuuuu As the second drawer was taken out and carefully dusted the little woman thought of the first meeting with Jack.

Then, as she pulled out the third drawer, Alice recalled the memorable event of the wedding, when Jack’s Odeon friends had come out to Elmville and the orchestra had given a concert in the farmyard, to the delight of the entire neighborhood and the consterna- tion of Aunt Jane’s feathered commu- nity.

Remark- nhdo Thanksgiving Incident. It may be interesting to know how members of congress from various sections of the country enjoy their Thanksgiving. In conversation with some of the genial The Hon. Benton McMillin waspeculiarly glowing in describing Thanksgiving day in Tennessee. He said that it is the most delightful of all days except Christmas. All business is suspended. In the mountains and in the valleys there are family reunions. Frequently friends are invited to the feast, “a them are happy and joyous times. Frequently friends are my and there are happy am The Tennesseeans mostly quietly and pleasantly at l with a feast, based upon 1 test and finest turkey thn forest. or the most conveni afford. ”U1“ The greatest dinner that McMilliu had ; ever enjoyed was at a log house when he 2 was a callow youth just returned from a ’ Kentucky university. A large turkey had f been secured. 0n the day before Thanks- n giving it had been carefully picked and drawn. That night, however, some ap- preciative darky had thrown the family into consternation by abstracting the bird. The theft was discovered about 10 p. m. Meantime a terrific gale arose. It almost ‘ reached the fury of a tornado. The log house stood the blast. The wooden shut- ters were closed, and the bowling wind in glee, sending a shower of sparks up the chimney. Suddenly there was a sm against the wooden shutter outside. A blood curdling sound was heard. Secur- ing a lantern, the headof the household went out and quickly returned. He had in his hand two huge turkeys, with bronzed legs and milled feathers. One was a gob- bler; the other a hen. They had been torn from their roosts in the mountains, borne miles on the gale and thrown against the rude cabin by the hand of Providence to take the place of the turkey that the negro had abstracted. They returned thanks on the spot and on the following day enjoyed as fine a Thanksgiving dinner as was ever given in Tennesseeâ€"Amos Cummings in New York Sun. .\l‘~‘i against the wooden shutter blood curdling sound was he ing a. lantern, the headof t1 went out. and quickly return in his hand two huge turkeys, legs and rufiled feathers.

I have never noted any exception to this, and, so far as my opinion goes, I think that any man who gets up in the morning. takes a bath and shaves himself with a bit of cold steel is apt to start out and be decent, whereas the whiskered man is not. I read an article by Chauncey Depew once. in which he said that the passing of the cold steel over his face in the morning always drove the fanciful ideas of the night out of his head and straightened him out for a hard and sensible day's work.

It has been shown by recent experi- ments that there is practically no dm‘er- ence in cost between cooking by elec- tricity and by coal. while the advan- of the former method in point of comfort. cleanliness and safety are con- siderable.
