TOWER, Boston, Mass. fl ELL. my children, here Is Thanksgiviag time again, and we turn to Our turkeys with a pret­ ty joyful and a pretty hopeful heart. Bless you, though, one holi­ day treads so quickly upon another's beels in this country that the last celebration is in danger of tripping up the former one. It is a fast age, and your Un­ cle Sam will no sooner get out his memo­ randum book to sum up his causes for gratitude than foeeember shoots out "Merry Christmas!" aud the whole string of celebrations seems to break loose. It is, indeed, a fast age. my children, a fast age. 'Why, time was when it took three whole days to make a feast; one to prepare for it, one to get over it, and one to enjoy it leisurely. We rested from Christmas to Washington's birthday, and then had nothing to do but get ready for the Fourth. Then, Thanksgiving found us with long­ ing for turkey, and the holly season sharp­ ened our appetites with its savory 'odor of plum pudding. But, bless you, my children, those good old days are past and gone, along with last year's fashions. We rush and hurry from one festival to another, and fill up the spaces with flag days, and arbor days, and memorial days, and world's fairs, and soldiers' monuments, until your Uncle Sam is on a dash from one end of the country to the other, trying to fulfill his state and national engagements. And, whenever he hopes to snatch an hour's rest, bless you! some invitation arrives, and he has to scamper off to lay a corner stone, or crown an arch, or fire a salute, or respond to a toast, until his very last suit is in imminent danger of losing its buttons and fraying at the seams! But to return to our turkey and the list in the memorandum book. Thanksgiving is here, and the earth is rejoicing! The peace jubilee is over, things fixed for com­ fort, and calmness and happiness, and the football player is now monarch of the day. During his temporary sovereignty, let Uncle Sam recount the blessings of the year that has run its course through ways of peril and hardship, but, withal, of blessings. Your Uncle Sam is grateful that the war is over, and Cuba can sit down at the November table with a Thanksgiving all her own. Spain must not complain of her "cooked goose!" Time is when your Uncle Sam, getting riled, acts quicker'n a wink. It took some vessels, some guns. some of his own sure bo.vs, to teach those dons how to run, but it had to be did! The scrimmage had to be short, for all hands were due back at the home table this blessed Thanksgiving day, and, the ball set rolling, it was hustled along fast. We are thankful that the world knows how prompt we can act lor right against op­ pression, how sure we are of our mettle, and maybe tjefore many more Thanksgiv­ ing days--if things don't go n little more civilized in the far EJast--there's a Tur­ key's head we'll have to chop off before we can sit down to our plum puddiq>g table quite easy and satisfied, x Your Uncle Sam is especially grateful for the pretty girls that remain in the country. This international matrimonial market business has been giving the lords and dukes and earls n^-chance to rob us right and left. We must put a stop to this, boys! The table don't look right with so many pretty faces gone. We need all the beauty and smiles and winsomeness we can find, and if those titled foreigners must have a live, bouncing American girl, let them come over here and be American­ ized and naturalized, and sit down at the table and learn our ways. We have had some glorious shows the last year--flower shows, county fairs, a big Western exposition. We have had conventions, and the chance to view in public the men and women of the epoch, with an extra gathering to press down ;rood measure. We have had baseball and tennis and golf, and yacht races and row ing. And in them all American muscle and American brains have topped the bar­ gain and capped the climax! Let us give thanks for ail these amusements and pleasures, thanks for our blessings, thanks for our hopes. And a special hurrah for our farmers, amid all this joy of health and vigor Think of the bountiful reward for the la­ bor of the husbandman! We have been preserved as a nation, and our glory shines afar before all peoples. We have wel corned the oppressed, we have given < shelter to the homeless. We have aided suffering, and* borne the Stars and Stripes where tliey were needed the most. Once more, children, all together! wav­ ing an encouraging flag over to Hawaii and Cuba and the Philippines, a cheer for them, a cheer tot America, yourselves and Uncle Sam: My country, 'tis of thee. Sweet land of liberty. Of thee I sing.

"It was the time of the Indian summer. The soft, mellow sunlight sbone warmly through the drowsy haze, illumining the somber woodland with a rich golden light, while the gentle winds of the south, ladei^ with the sweet perfumes of the forest, came as a lingering dream of summer toA add to 'the joy and brightness of this Thanksgiving feast. Upon the balmy aip arose the hum of many voices and the merry music of laughter, as the pilgrims, with their Indian guests, partook of the feast that the Provider of all things had given them."

The choir of the little country church did not siug the beautiful words very well. The soprano's voice was unmistak­ ably "cracked" and "AL the tenor displayed surprising disregard of time and tune. But then, there were no musical critics in the Bmall congrega­ tion scattered throughout this quiet'lit­ tle country church that Thanksgiving morning. And the beauty of the words and the promise contained in them touch­ ed the hearts of many. "Wait patiently upon the Lord and he shall givte thee thy heart's desire," repeat* ed the choir. "It is not true!" The words were not spoken, but they were in the thought and heart of one old woman sitting far back near the door. She sat alone, for sheNtas alone in the world. Those who had once peopled the old pew with her--father, mother, husband, broth­ ers and sisters, and the child of her love and care, all were gone. The quiet peace­ ful beauty of that Thanksgiving morning and the spiritual atmosphere of the church had quite failed to appeal to old Margaret Hudson. Never had she felt in a more rebellious mood. It would have dazed and pained the white-haired old elder in the pulpit had he known the thoughts that were uppermost in the mind of the small, dark, keen-eyed little old woman whose head gave a little defiant toss when he rose and said: "Let us bow our heads in prayer." Margaret Hudson did not bow her head, and her heart did not respond to the sim­ ple, fervent prayer of Elder Norris. "What's the use?" she was saying an­ grily to herself. "Haven't I been bowing my head and my knees in prayer for years and years--in one prayer for one thing, for i my heart's desire, and has it been granted to me? No, it hasn't! I have 'waited patiently on the Lord' and He has not giv­ en me the desire of my heart. I don't be<- ; lieve that He ever will give it to me. I've lost faith and hope. I can't help it My ! 'heart's desire' has been denied me so long and the promise has not come true for me. I can't believe, that it is. trifle." There were educated, polished aad bril­ liant ministers in beautiful city churches who preached with less simple and tender beauty than that old elder preached that mor»ing about the joy of gratitude and praise-giving for the blessings of God, but Margaret Hudson was not touched by the words. Her faith had lost its Olivet and her love its Galilee. "When He gives me my heart's desire," •he said stubbornly. "When He sends my boy, my Jim, back to me, I will believe that His promises are true. I can't trust Him any more until He does." She did not tarry at the close of the ser­ vice for her usual greeting of old friends, but stole out alone and hurried toward her lonely home, the homeliness and desolation of which were never so hard to bear as now. "If He'd hear my prayer and send Jim back, to me it would be so," she said. Jim! Her heart's desire! Where was he at that moment? "God only knows!" his mother said be­ tween her broken sobs as she went slowly along over the country road, the bright sunlight of a glorious November day lend­ ing a radiance to the brown leaves still re­ maining on the trees. It had been twenty years since she had seen Jim. He was then a handsome, headstrong boy of 18, and the only child that had come to her. She had lavished upon him the warmest, tenderest affections of her life, and yet she never knew just why Jim had run away from home in his 18th year and she had never seen him nor 'heard from him Bince that day. CARVING THE TURKEY. Adepts Have Reduced the Art to ai} Exact Science. Something more than a shai*p knife and a tender turkey is necessary to be master of the situation, when a turkey is placed before yt>u. The adept carver has the art and she was too poor to follow him, had she known where he was. There had been vague and unfounded rumors that he had "got into trouble," but oroof of this was lacking, and her neigh bora had long ago ceased to speak of Jim to Margaret Hudson. But not for one day nor for one hour had she ceased to think of him--her heart's desire Twenty years of unanswered prayer had ended in this spirit of depression and re­ bellion, and there was no love nor grati­ tude in Margaret Hudson's heart ..that Thanksgiving morning. Presently she etime to the bars in a fence by the roadside through which she must pass on her homeward way. She leaned heavily on the bars, and then drop­ ped slowly to her knees with her head resting on one gaunt arm stretched out upon one of the bars. Her lips moved slowly in praper: "Oh, God," she said, "I have been ao sinful, so wicked. Forgive me and let the desire of heart be for perfect trust in Thee no matter what Thy will may be concern­ ing me. Make this my heart's desire." There was a smile on her brown and wrinkled old face when she rose to her feet ind went on her homeward way. AH trace!pf rebellion had tied from her face, and her eyes shone through a mist of tears. She pushed open the gate before her tiny brown house and when old Hero, the dog, came bounding forward with noisy greet­ ing she patted him kindly and said cheer­ ily: "Good old dog! Glad to see me, aren't yon. old fellow?" She looked up to see a tall, broad-shoul­ dered, brown-bearded man coming rapidly down the path toward her with outstretch­ ed arms and twinkling brown eyes. "Mother!" he said". "Why, Jim!" And they walked np the path with their arms around each other. And later Margaret Hudson went softly about her tidy, sunny diiiing room setting her tables for dinner aad singing softly, "Wait patiently upon tap Lord and He shall give thee thy heart'^desires." A Nice Prospect. m Gobbler--(Jh, you feel very tickled over Thanksgiving coming, don't you? Boy--Yea, and when it gets here you'll feel very much cut np over it. A THANKSGIVING BANQUET. The Pll|frim»' Dinner Given to In­ dian Chiefs. "The state dinner of the occasion--the real Thanksgiving dinner--took place on Saturday, the last day of the celebration," says the Ladies' Home Journal. "Not­ withstanding that the kitchens of these wilderness homes were sadly wanting in many of the most common essentials of cookery, there was no lack of good things nor of appetizing dishes at this great feast. The earth, the air and the water had yielded of their bountiful supplies; and the good dames had done honor to their skill and iffgenuity by setting before their hun­ gry guests and companion* a repast as sumptuous and tempting a* it was varied and delightful. Foremost of ail there wag roast turkey, dressed with beechnuts; then came ra»e venison pasties, savory meat stews with dumplings of barley flour; de- She knew that he had gone "oat West," jiieious oysters (the gift of the Indiana, and \ -•••' ' . . - * of separating the joints of the bird down to such an exact science that in one min^ ute they can cut the most gigantic turkey into pieces each a good size for a plate. Plant thesfork into the turkey's breast, and cut off the left wing. This is done with a downward swing that catches the joint. The fork meanwhile, with a prong on each side, of the breastbone, is held stiff and firm in the left hand. , Mrs. MADGE BABCOCK, 176 Second St., Grand Rapids, Mich., had ovarian trouble with its attendant aches and pains, now she is well. Here are her own words: "Your Vegeta­ ble Compound has made me feel like a new person. Before I be­ gan taking* it I was all run dotvn, felttired and sleepj most of the time, had pains in my back and side, and such terrible headaches all the time, andcould not , sleep well nights. I al- had ovarian trouble. Through the advice of a friend I began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound, and since taking It Sill troublesliave gone. My monthly sickness used to be so painful, but have not had the slightest paln^ince taking your medicine. I cannot praise your Vegetable Compound too much. My husband and friends see such a change in me. I look so much better and have some color in my face." Mrs. Pinkham invites women who ara ill to write to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is freely offered. He Scented Trouble. "By George, I just hate to go home /to-night." :¥; _ "What's the trouble?* y*.;": "My wife told, me when I . started away this morning that she was going to put up preserves." T Now press the blade of the knife down­ ward, and remove the leg and second joint. As these fall upon the dish they must be lifted to a small platter to be out of the carver's way. There should always be • warm platter near the carver. The third move of the carver is to slice off the breast, removing it in layers paral­ lel to the breast bone. This makes a slice of very good grain, better than if it wera cnt crosswise. '1 lie fourth stroke is upward f^om the pope's nose so as to catch the "oyster bone" on the side. This reveals the stuff* ing, which can be sliced off. The wishbone is next removed. This is done by slipping the knife under the point of the bone, after the breast is sliced off. and sweeping it downward toward the neck. A very nice portion of the meat comes with it. Follow these directions and carving a fowl will not be difficult. We Thank Thee, Lord.
