Oh, ths farm was bright, Thanksgiving tnorn, With IU stacks of bar and ihocks of corn, IU pumpkin hwrpa In ths rambling shed, Ant IU applaa brown and grn nnd red; And In tha collar, ths winter storo, In blna that were fitted and running o'er With alt ths thing that a farm could ken. tn barrel and bin and troodlr heap, Rang to ths raftera nnd hid away Oh, the farm waa m pleasant place to tayl And here and there waa the Jersey itock, Tne eheep and horses Old Prince and Jock Trie turkeys and geeae and awkward calf, And the goat that made the children laugh, A pair of mule that a friend had sent Out to the farm for experiment, Pigeons and fowls and a guinea pig, Dogs that were small and dogs that were blr. Chlokens that were white and btack and gray On, the farm was a Jolly sight that dart Out back of the house the orchard stood, Then came the brook and the chestnut wood, The old sawmill where the children plar, The fodder barn with Its pll'i of hay, The walnut grore and the cranberry bog, The woodchuck hole and the barking dog, Tfie wtntergreen and the robber's cave Wherein who entered was counted brave The skating pond with Its fringe of bar- Oto. the farm waa a right good place to stay! The big home barn was a piece of Joy For the romping girt and the ellmbtng bey, t Wttk beam, and mows and ladders to mount. Hers and oxen and eheep to count. Hunting of neets of sly old hens. Tunneling hay and fashioning dens. Helping the men to do up the chores, aThnttlng windows and locking doors, Letting some work come In with the play Oh, the farm was a Jolly place to stay! Oti, the pantry shelves were loaded down Wllk cakee that were plump and rloh and brown, With apple pte and pumpkin and mince, A Jellies and Jam and preserved quince, Oraaberry sauoe and puddings and rice, Tne dissert dlsbee that look so nice.

The sun shone clear on the hay and corn. The guests came early with laugh and shout. And the boys and girls scattered about, taking the pete they had known tfvfore, Climbing through window tnetead of door, JUcing from bam to corncrlb or mill. Shooting and laughing with glee, until Tbi dinner-ham sounded. Oh, I eay Tni pleasant upon the farm that dayl (V, till, WHlirn Hwppr Unleo.)

As wo read of old Urno Thnnksirty lntr customs, wo rcallxo that tlio world hns boon traveling fast slnco then itwny from tlio slmplo and the spiritual. Ono of tlio customs, particularly, vms quaint After tlio ThnnknglTlng dinner, while tlio family was still seated around tlio tiMo, cadi uiutnbor was askod to tell for what. In tho past year, he was par tlcularly thankful. Thoso recitals woro alwnys rovola Uons of diarsctcr. Tho small children of tho family mentioned soma material thing, & sled or a doll, for which they wero grateful. Tho older children, thoso In their teens, wuro more abstract. They were thankful for the advantages of educa tion, of family prestige, or their social position n bit Bolf-ceuterod, perhaps, as la wont with youth In Its Uons, Hut mother and fathor, In tholr ma turity of years, know that tho greatest blosslngs of Ufo were health nnd hap piness, and their recitals of thankful dels always Includod a word of thanks giving that the family had been spared Illness and poverty. No thought for themselves, but thunkful of son's suc cess In school, and daughter's Improve ment In controlling her temper. Tlio spirit of tho day calls for Just such a touch of spiritual Introspection. It keeps alive that family spirit, tho Joy of an assembled family, the partic ular sourco of Tlianksglvlng to each mcmbor, nloiiK with tho Joy of Uio old fashioned dlnnor. Old-Tlma Thanksgiving- A quaint account of a Thanksgiving dinner hack In 1770, Is given In a lot tor of ono Jullanna Smith, written to hor dear "Dear Cousin Betsey," found in an old diary: "This year It was Undo Simeon's turn to bavo tlio dlnnor at his house, but of courso we all helped them as fboy help us when It Is our turn, and thoro Is always enough for us alljo do. All the baking of pies and cakes was dono at our house, and wo had tho big oven heated and ailed twice each day for three days before It was all done, and evcrythlug was good, though wo did havo to do without some things that ought to bo used. Nelthor Lovo nor Money could buy nalslna, but our good red cherries dried without the pttse, did almost as well, and happily Uncle Simoon still bad sorao spices In store. Tho tables were set In tho Din ing Hall, and oven that big room had no space to spare when we woro all seated. The Servants had enough ado to get around the Tables and sotre us all without oversetting things. There were our two Grandmothers, side by side. They are always handsome old ladles, but now, many thought, thoy were handsomer than ever, and happy thoy were to look upon so many of their' descendants. Ths Crown of the Feast. "Ther was no Plum Pudding, but a boiled Suet Pudding, stirred thick with dried Plums and Cherries, was called by the old Name and answered the pur pose. All the other spice had been used In the Mince Pie, so for this Pud ding we used a Jar of West India pre served Dinger, which chanced to bo left of the last shipment which Uncle Simeon bad from there. We chopped the Ginger small and stirred It through with the Plums and Cherries. It was extraordinary good. The day was bit ter cold and when we got home from Meeting, which father did not keep over long by reason of the cold, we were glad of the fire In Uncle's Dining Hall, but by the time the dinner was one-half over, those of us who wero on the fire side of one table was forced to get up and carry our plates around to the far side of the other table, while those who had ut there were glad to bring their plate around to the fire aide to get warm.

EXTENDING TIME OF THANKS Each Day Might De Made a Season for Expressing OratHudo for Manifold Oleulnas. It Is human nnturo to pay moro heed to things which discomfort us than to thoso which contribute to our huppl ncss. Tho latter jo accept its a mat ter of counw nnd do not regit rd vry attentively until, perchance, we nre deprived of them, when wo promptly number them among our regrets urn! replno oror them frequently. If wo woro to doToto II vo minute a day to recalling tho things for which we, as Individuals or as citizens, havo reason to bo thankful, we should Unci oursolves much happier and tho world would bo much caster to get along with. In time, perhaps, wo should find our thankful periods extending them selves nnd our periods of worry and discontent growing correspondingly shorter. This being the Thanksgtvlug time, officially designated for n rovlow of our blessings, It might bo a good tlmo to Inaugurate a plan for being thank ful for at least a fow minutes every day.

Thanksgiving Bird, So Well and Fa vorably Known Today, Never of the Wild Species. At this tlmo of tho year when the feasting holidays nre here, almost everyone thinks of turkey, which also took nn Importnnt part In the first Thnnksgtvlng of the Puritans, tho founders of Thanksgiving as wo know it todny. Llttlo lp known of tho early history of tho domestic turkey. Writers of tho Sixteenth nnd Seventeenth cen turies seem to havo been Ignorant about It, nnd to hnvo regarded It as the gulnenfowl or plntndo of tho an cients, u mistake which wns not cleared up until tho middle of tho Inst century, says n writer In the Now York Sun. Tho nnmo It now benrs, nnd which if received In England whero It Is re puted to havo been Introduced In 1011, wns given It from tho supposition that It enmo orlglnnlly from Turkey. As far hack as 1573 wo rend of It ns having been tho Christmas faro of tho sturdy British yeomanry. Came From Mexican Fowl. Audubon, ono of tho enrly pioneers of American ornithology, supposed our common barnyard turkey to hnvo orig inated In tho wild bird so prevalent In tho eiiMtern half of the United States. Hut It has nlwnys been a mat ter of surprise to naturalists that tho latter did not assimilate, by Inter breeding and reversion, more Intimate ly In color nnd hnblts to tho domestic form. No suspicion, until recently, nppenrs to havo been entertained that the two birds might belong to differ ent opecles. Our common wild turkey, onco so plentiful In Pennsylvania and New York, Is now restricted to tho more eastern nnd southern portions of tho If Perfect Specimens. United States, whllo In tho parts of Texas, Now Mexico, Colorado and Arizona, thence stretching snuthwnn' along tho eusteni slopo of Mexico, there exists another form, ehscntlnlly different, which by way of distinction, hits been popularly called tho Mexican turkey. It Is from this spec-les, nnd not from tlio other, us has been erro neously tuipposod, that tho domestic fowl hits been derived. Many Differences 8een. Iletween tho wild bird of eastern North America and tho Mexican and typical barnyard fowls there uro dif ferences which must bu uppnrent to tho most superlklul observer. Tho extremities of the tall feathers as well ns tho feathers overlying tho base of the tall uro In tho luttor creumy or fulvous white, whllo In tho former they aro of a decldod chestnut brown color. Other characteristics exist, apparent to tho ornithologist. Tho dlttlculty uxporlencod In eiitdlh llshlng n cross between our wild and tuinu birds, shows that they are not us closely related as ono would suppose. Did n near kinship exist, Interbreed ing would more easily bo accomplished. With tho Mexican turkey, matters are otherwise, That a relationship does exist between tho domestic bird and tho luttor there can be no question, as specimens of tho naturalised species aro often met with which aro nearly tho counterpart of Its Mexican pro genitor, differing only In tho greater development of tho futty appendages of tho head and neck, differences which may bo accounted for as the effects of tho Influences to which the birds hnvo been uubjectcd by man, No well-authenticated instance of slmtlur reversions to our onco fumlllur eastern bird havo been known to oc cur, which would necessarily have been tho caso had thoy been so closely je luted us was once maintained, America's Own Day. Tlianksglvlng Is particularly our own holldny. It originated here and no other continent thun this has It. Rxcept for tho Thanksgiving days of the United .States and Canada there Is In ull tho earth no ofllclal oo cnfelon for returning thanks to Provi dence by the people as a people Irre spective of sect. Christmas and New Year's are celebrated wherever the cross has found Its way; Inde pendence und memorial days are ob served In rnuny lands; but the only natlonul Thanksgiving day Is ours.
