SPOILED HIS DINNER An (JnplenMnnt Tlrnnksglving Day F o r n P o l i t i c i a n . /) “ Bluest Thanksgiving I ever spent?’\ mused the fine old gentleman who has an unconquerable antipathy to prac tical politics. “ It stands out in my memory like an obelisk on a plain, anti It was not so very long ago, either. “ I had been induced that fall to run for an important public office. It was done against my better judgment and under great pressure, but when a man enters sueli a tight he wants to win. I was n a close district and determined to put up the very best fight that the circumstances would permit. I adver tised at once for an extra stenographer, and from the many who responded se lected a beautiful, bright and dashing young woman who justified my imme diate faith in her ability. She did all my private correspondence, knew as much about the inside of the campaign as 1 did, worked day and night with a willingness that was surprising, and even took from one of my shrewdest advisers the list of voters in the stron gest section with which I had to con tend, with full instructions as to how the most influential persons among them could be won to my cause. It was great work, and yet I fell several hundred short of the normal party vote. “ My successful opponent lived in n neighboring town and graciously invit ed me to be his guest on the following Thanksgiving. It would have looked surly to refuse, and I went. It was really an admirable social function, but the few hours I put in there were tor ture. The host met me with a hearty handclasp. Turning, he said, 'My wife.’ Resplendent in satin and jew els, I saw my stenographer. ‘Love and war,’ she murmured. ‘He thinks I was visiting my old home in New Eng land.’ I held my peace, but that fatted turkey tasted like cork.”—Detroit Free Press.

Parson Jarvis is cornin’ all the way from Sloatesville to preach tomorrow, and the quire’s lamed a bran* new anthem just a-pur- pose, about bein’ thankful for harvest and all that sort of thing. I’m sure I don’t know what else you’d have.” Mrs. Nisbett only answered by a sigh. “ I wonder if ’ tain’t possible Stephe ’ll be hum tonight,” she said after a pause. “ He writ not. He thought he’d drop in arly tomorrow mornin’ if he caught the train he expected. Only think, old woman; it’s five years since Stephe was hum to Thanksgivin’ !” Old Nisbett rubbed his horny hands, with a chuckle, adding: “And I s’pose, if all accounts Is true, he’s gettiu’ to be a great man out in that western country. It was kind of a hard pull when he went off and left us, but maybe the boy was in the right.” “Yes,” said Mrs. Nisbett dolorously, “but somehow I can't get reconciled to the idea of liis marryin* a strange gal out there.” Joel scratched his head. This was a phase of the subject that he scarcely felt competent to discuss. “ Maybe you’ll like her. Stephen says she’s a nice gal.” “ Stephen says! As if a man over head and ears in love wouldn’t say anything.” “ I wish he’d told us who she was.” Mrs. Nisbett groaned again. Joel went out to the woodpile, the everyday shrine whence he generally derived what little o f philosophic inspiration he had. “ Mrs. Nisbett!” It was a soft little voice, and the old lady’s face relaxed instinctively as it sounded on her ears. “ Why, Lida Tremaine—’tain’t you!” “ It is. I’ve done everything that Aunt Constance wanted, and now I’ve just run over to see if you don’t need a bit of help.” She stood in the doorway, a fair little apparition, all flushed and rosy with She November wind, while her blue eyes sparkled as if they were twin sapphires hidden away under her long, dark lashes. She was neither blond nor brunette, but a fresh cheeked girl, with nut brown hair, skin like the leaf of a damask rose, a straight, refined nose and lips as ripe as a red crabnpple, though by no means so sour. Generally she had a demure sort of gravity lin gering about her face, but when she did laugh a dimple came out upon her cheek and a row of pearly teeth glim mered instantaneously. In one hand she carried a bunch of late autumn flowers. “ See!” she cried, holding them up. “ I ransacked Aunt Constance’s garden for these. I knew that big vase on the mantel needed something, and, with a branch or so of scarlet leaves, I’ll have a royal bouquet to help you keep Thanksgiving.” Mrs. Nisbett took the fair oval face between her two hands and kissed the fresh little mouth. “ Set down, Lida,” she said. “ I wasn’t n-cnlculatin’ to have no scch fixin’s up, but you’ve secli a way, child, I can’t never say no to you.” “ But you’re going to keep Thanks giving,” cried Lida, throwing off her outer wrappings and dancing up to the looking glass like a little gale-of wind, “because you invited Aunt Constance and me to dinner and because your son Is coming home.” “ Yes, child, yes,” said Mrs. Nisbett, subsiding once more Into the mournful key from which Lida’s sudden appear ance had momentarily aroused her. “Joel’s got the turkey shut up in a coop, and the bakin’ ’s done, and I’m just a-tixliV them apples, and”— “Oh, oh,” cried Lida, who had flut tered to the window, “ what glorious red leaves speckled over with little drops of gold! May I make some wreaths for the wall? Oh, please say yes!” Mrs. Nisbett said “yes”—It would have been hard work to say “ no” to Lida—and the girl soon came in, her apron full of the sprigs of the old ma ple tree, whose shadowy boughs kept the window veiled with cool shadows through the glaring summer days and showered fading gold upon the dead grass when the autumn came. Mrs. Nisbett looked with tenderness upon tlie graceful little figure seated on the hearth rug, when the shine of the high heaped logs lost itself in her bright hair and made sparkles In her eyes, as the wreaths and trails of au tumn leaves grew rapidly beneath her deft fingers. “ Lida,” she said softly, “ Lida, my dear!” Lida looked up. “ I saw your Aunt Constance yester day, but there's somethin’ reserved about her, and I didn’t like to ask about you—whether you had decided to go out ns a governess or not; because, my dear, Joel and I were talkin' last night, and we both thought what a comfort it would be to have you here.” “To have me here?” “We’re old and we’re alone, and somehow we’ve both took a fancy to you, my child. So when your Aunt Constance goes back to the city, if you choose to come here” — Mrs. Nisbett paused abruptly and burst iuto tears. “We had a little girl once, my dear, and if she’d lived she would ha’ been nigh about your age.” Lida let the leaves drop down on the floor as she sprang up and threw both arms round the old woman’s neck. “Oh, Mrs. Nisbett,” she whispered softly, “you are so very, very kind. Believe me, I appreciate it all, but— but—I hardly know how to tell you.” Mrs. Nisbett listened intently. Lida smiled and cried a little and then whis pered so low it was scarcely audible. “ I am going to be married.” “Married!” ejaculated Mrs. Nisbett. with all a woman’s interest in this im portant piece of information. “And who to?” “ Your son lives in Iowa—in Burling ton?” “ Yes.” “ Well, did he ever mention the name of”- Lida paused, her cheeks glowing roses. Old Nisbett had come in with an armful of wood, bringing a gale with him from the frosty outer world. “ I’ll tell you by and by,” whispered Lida as she went back to her work. “Joel ’ll go out again arter awhile,\ thought Mrs. Nisbett, “and then I’ll hear about Lida’s beau.” But Joel sat down before the fire with a complacent satisfaction which boded ill for the gratification of his wife’s curiosity, and finally accompa nied Lida home, thus frustrating all his wife’s designs and cutting off her chance of hearing Lida’s story. “ Dear me!\ thought she. “ 1 don’t be lieve the man was ever born who knowed when he wasn’t wanted! How lonesome It seems when Lida’s gone' What does the girl want to get married for when I £ould ha* took such a sight o’ comfort with her? Oh, dear, dear! It does seem as if the world was all askew!” The next day, in spite of the weather prophet’s prediction of snow, dawned clear and brilliant as the dying smile of Indian summer. By 11 o’clock Mrs. Nisbett was dressed in her best silk and cap, with the turkey browning beautifully in the oven and the cran berry tarts doing credit to themselves as well as to their maker, the table set, the fire high heaped with crackling logs and the plates dressed with coro nals of autumn leaves. Aunt Con stance, a tall, prim maiden lady of un certain age, stood before the bedroom looking glass arranging her coiffure. Lida, in a blue dress with a late au tumn rose in her hair, was tripping hither aiid thither as light footed and helpful as half a dozen household fai ries merged into one, while Mrs. Nis bett stood regarding her with a loving eye, murmuring to herself: “Well, well, it seems like it was the Lord’s will to deny us o f just what we most want, but if I had a daughter I rould wish she was like Lida.” As the old kitchen clock struck 1 Mrs. Nisbett, looking from the window, gave a little cry. “There he comes—there comes Joel, and, as I live, there’s the boy with him!” Lida ran into the bedroom. When she returned, Mrs. Nisbett was clasped in the arms of a tall, handsome man of four or five and twenty. “ Lida,” said the proud matron, striv ing to disengage herself from the affec tionate clasp, “this is my son Stephen, and—why, what’s the matter?” For Stephen had dropped her hands with an exclamation of surprise and amazement, and Lida stood there glow ing crimson. “ Lida! Why, mother, this is a sur prise indeed that you have prepared for me!” “ I prepared!” echoed the astonished old lady. “ Well, that’s a good un, when I’m ten times as much surprised as you be! Lida, what does this mean?” “It means,” said Lida, with a demure smile—she was beginning to recover her scattered self possession—“it means that this is the gentleman I am to be married to!” “ Stephen!” cried Mrs. Nisbett, “is Ltda to be your wife?” “ She has given me her promise to that effect, at least,” said Stephen, looking proudly down upon his lovely little fiancee. “Well, if it don’t beat all how queer things do happen!” said Mrs. Nisbett, her face radiant. “And you’ve been livin’ neighbor to me these six weeks and I never knowed it. Lida, why didn’t you tell me?” “Because I never dreamed that Ste phen Rislnghnm, my betrothed western lover, was anything to Mrs. Nisbett,” said Lida, laughing. “There *tls, now!” ejaculated the farmer. “How was she to know that he was only my nephew, adopted when his parents died, twenty good years ago. We’ve always called him son, and he’s always been a son to us. But Lida didn’t know. Old woman, what do you say to Stephen’s wife?” Mrs. Nisbett clasped Lida to her heart \I do say,” she ejaculated, “this is the thankfullcst Thanksgivin’ I ever lived to see!”—New York Daily News.

With all of this in view a few sugges tions are offered for various goodies and savories, both hot and cold, suit able to the season. Oysters on the H a lf Shell. Oxtail Soup. Salmon Cutlets, Caper Sauce. Curried Kidney (or Escaloped Sweet breads). R o a st Turkey. Cranberry Sauce or Jelly. Mashed Potatoes. Stewed Celery with W h ite Sauce, Spinach or Peas.

Mind that your pur chase is a thorough “ black leg.” If the legs incline to paleness. Father Time has been at work. The breast must be broad and fat, the skin very white and the neck short.

In England the ordinary domestic pin had become in the fifteenth cen tury an article of sufficient importance to warrant legislative notice. An act of parliament passed in 1483 prohibit ed the importation of pins. As a ne cessity of the toilet plus were Intro duced into England in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Catherine Howard, queen of Henry VIII., who received them from France. Very good pins of brass were made at this period, but a large portion of them were made of Iron, which was blanched and sold for brass pins. In order to prevent this Imposition upon the good people of England parliament In 1543 passed an act providing that “no person shall put to sale any pins but such ns shall be double headed and have the heads soldered fast to the shanks of the pins, well smoothed, the shanks well shnpen, the points well rounded, filed, canted and sharpened.” England continued to depend upon France for Its supply of pins till the year 1620 , when John Tilsby intro duced the manufacture into Glouces tershire. In 1030 the manufacture was Introduced into Bristol and Birming ham, the latter place ultimately be coming the great center of the Indus-j She pmn gan (flxpress.

Our country has been blessed with peace, prosperity, and happiness,and our people are respected for their conserva tism, for their enlightenment and their progress. The henificent influences of our Institutions have been exerted for the advancement of civilization, and to ns have come problems which required not only patriotism in their solution, but faith in G< h 3 , who has placed upon us the re sponsibility for this advancement of His work. For all of these blessings we should render homage to Him. I, therefore, designate Thursday, No- j vember 27, 1902, as a day of thanksgiving and praise. Let ns, on that day, put aside the cares of life and in our homes and in our respective places of worship, with hearts full of thanksgiving and with a faith in our future which can only come through a firm reliance upon Almighty God, offer up prayers o f thankfulness and supplications for a continuation of divine favor.

The stuffing is made in this way: A pound of nice, tender ham cut in dice.

Oh, you needn’t strut around here as though you were the only one in this menagerie. Turkey—Oh, I don’t know. You’re not in it with me just now. I’m the most popular thing on the walk at present. Rooster—Well, madam, stretch your rubber neck up over my head all you want today, but just you wait till to morrow! When your skinny legs are being dragged to the execution block, I will look on at your gory expiration and from the bottom of my lungs will crow for victory! Turkey (taking two struts coopward and landing in the center of the stage) —Aye, aye, sir! But listen. Death hath its rewards, and to sacrifice my self at the altar of revenge is more glorious than life. What if my beau teous wings shall switch the dust from out the cracks of the kitchen stove? Wait till my nude and helpless form lies stretched upon the platter of the feast! Then shall revenge come to me, for never yet was one of our tribe sac rificed at the altar of Thanksgiving that the merciless gourmands did not so o’orstuff themselves that nothing in nil the world was worth the having for three days in advance.

The Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks ol the Progress that Has Been Made in the Treatment 01 Chronic Diseases in the Last Forty Years. Very few Doctors, who began their prac tice forty years ago are left to tell the story of the wayi sad methods of those earlier times. The old saddle-bags contained Dover’s powder, Calomel, Fink and Senna, the last given to the young to cure worms, and also to give proper rengious bent. Bleeding, even to the point of prostration, was an adjunct to the drug remedies. The Allopathic School held the fort for many years; it was finally changed and modified by the Homeopathic and Schools, and the Galvanic incubator. Taking all the different schools of icine, including those called irregulars, the Christian Scientists, Magnetic Healers, Os teopaths have tailed to give us any surety of perfect diagnosis and treatment of disease. They make lamentable failures as yet, showing their knowledge very imper fect and not to be relied upon. We still have heart disease, sugar diabetes, Bright’s disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism, paralysis and all other various ills that seem to baffle the skill ot the phys ician to rightly name the disease or perform a cure. First, we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are the result of long years ot toil and research, and that deep uown in human life the loftiest truths are born. Dr. Butterfield starts out from a different standpoint, basing his knowledge upon* spiritual insight into the causes ot you condition ana the reasons tor your suffer, ing- This spiritual insight is the incentive to all progress and Is the one method by which the right remedies can be used to suit the case. The Doctor has been coming to Penn Yan for eight years, and has cured hundreds of cases that have come to him as a last re sort, and he has cured where all others had failed and hope had gone. He uses vegetable remedies entirely, which are as natural as fruit, in the system. They can be taken by any one, no matter how delicate the stomach. The Doctor cures some of the worst cases of kidney and bladder trouble, enlarged liver and heart disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism and all other forms o f chronic diseases. All are welcome to a free examination. His long experience is worth everything to . f | 4 4 AA 9 * the chronic invalid. Dr. Butterfield will be at the Knapp House, Penn Yan, N. Y. on Wednesday.

Both in the Himalayas and in the Andes butterflies have been found at heights ranging up to 10,000 feet, and in the Alps they are quite common at 0,000 feet. The very highest elevation so far observed is 10,G2G feet, where they were found by M. Bonplnnd on the slopes of Chimborazo. Sir J. D. Hooker found butterflies on the slopes of the Himalayas at about the same height. He speaks of “the amazing quantity of superb butterflies, many large tropical swallowtails, black, with a scarlet eye 011 the wings.” The South American high flying butterflies be long to the family of Colia dimera, the Asiatic that of the Pieris callidice. The explorer, Sir Martin Conway, also found them at high altitudes In the Himalayas. JRer. I t l R . H t c k s 1 9 0 3 A l m a n a c . To say that this sp’endid work o f science and art is finer and better than ever, is stating it mildly. The demand for it ie far beyond all previous years. To say that such results, reaching through thirty years, are not based upon sonnd sense and usefulness, is an insult to the intell igence of the millions.

How many dairymen and cattle feeders question themselves in this wise: Am I feeding a milk-producing ration, or a main tenance ration? Am I encouraging the butter-prcdiicing capacity of my cows, or is the food they are eating chiefly stimu lating the laying on of fat on the body? Am I, in short, feeding for a definite pur pose, and therefore economically, or working in the dark and at random? These are pointed questions which are worthy the gravest consideration by every farm er interested in dairying and cattle feed ing. What help does the state offer farmers who are trying to solve these problems? The Experiment Station bulletins, which give the results o f feeding investigations, are available free of cost to the farmers of the state, and are invaluable. But many farmers wish to study and understand the principles of feeding. What are they to do? They cannot go to college it is true, but the Agricultural College can and does go to them. It offers them free inatruc tlon in these important matters in their own homes. Many farmers are not aware of this fact. These subjects are Included in the Cornell Farmers’ Reading Course Those who desire to learn o f the work of this correspondence bureau should write to the Farmers’ Reading-Course, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.
