Thanksgiving Turkey as
Children Like Him Best.
Always on Thanksgiving day
We children have such fun at play.
And alter dinner's o'er, you know, -We
usually a-vislting go.
Our dinner, Joo, is fine and good,
And all the things I never could
Begin to name e'en though I'd try.
But one thing's sure there's pumpkin pie!
And turkey baked, and dressing, too
(I always love it so, don't you?);
And cranberry sauce so red and thick.
And ice cream frozen In a brick.
And sweet potatoes baked and brown.
And nicest oysters in the town.
And nuts and fruit and cider, too
We're really sorry when we're through!
Our mamma says that on that day
Each person, young and old, should pray
And thank God for his mercy dear
That's been bestowed throughout the year.
She says that's what Thanksgiving's for
The summing up of all the year,
Remembering all we owe the Lord
And thanking him by deed and word.

Thanksgiving Sentiments.
First Thanksgiving and joy cause
singing, leaping, dancing. It Is a lively
joy that fills the bosoms of those who
have it and makes them happy.
Second. Thanksgiving dwells in the
heart, not on the tongue or In the
stomach.
Third. Thankfulness is not thanks
giving.. Fourth. I borrow my thanksgiving
from my heart, not from my dinner.
Fifth. Do not wait for a special day
In which to be thankful. He who
waits for Thanksgiving day to be
thankful will not be thankful when It
comes.
Sixth. Plato said, "1 thank God 1
was born a man, not a beast; a Gre
cian, not a barbarian." but I thank
God that I .was born an American in
stead of a Hindu.
Seventh. Thanksgiving makes a
crust sweet the want of it a turkey
bitter.
Eighth. The way to get more favors
Is to be thankful for those we have.
Ninth. Thankfulness will not come
unless called. Philadelphia Ledger.

good deal of money even for the gov

pieces. But. of course, when it came to
numbers the cents lead, a3 more than
22.000.000 of them were turned out
More than 2,000.000 silver coins were
minted also.

' A Lost Diamond,
Olive Schreiner, the author of "An
African Farm," who was brought up in
Africa, said that she and her brothers
and sisters bad as one of their play
things a bright stone that they called
the candle stone. It was about the size
Of a walnut and would flash in a bright
and singular way when held up to the
light. Not until the children had grown
up, and the candle stone had been lost
for years did any of .them remember
that it must really have been a huge
diamond.

He Has she been married long?
She No; she still thinks her husband
eats cloves because he likes them.
I manifested a .taste for art when 1
was a little boy, taking more comfort
in drawing pictures on my slate than
doing sums on it As I grew oldar I
became ambitious to do something bet
ter, and asked my father to allow me
a few drawing lessons.' He refused,
saying he would not encourage me in a
task that would wreck my future if I
gave way to it
When it became time for me to choose
an occupaiton 1 wished to become an
artist but my parents made such an
ado. over the matter that I abandoned
the plan and accepted a clerkship in a
grocery house. But if I couldn't make
pictures I could at least look at pic
tures. And it so happened that I lived
In a metropolis where the best works
of art are to be seen. I read the art
Journals and was on the lookout for
any announcements of the changing
bands of th great pictures, of the
world, especially those coming to Am
erica. I made no progress at business. All
I did In a business way bored me. It
was simple drudgery, and drudgery Is
incompatible with an artistic tempera
ment Instead of doing my work I
sketched the office boys, the cat, any
thing that was sketchable. After
awhile I was Informed by my employ
ers that they bad no further need for
my services.
My father, after a scene, secured an
other place for me and on entering
upon it I promised to try to do better.
But my heart was not in my work, and
I have no faith in people being able to
-do continuously wha they take no in
terest in. If they succeed in doing it
they will not do it well. I believe that
persons only do well what they like
and are fitted to do; that eminently suc
cessful persons are successful In doing
that which other people cannot do. or
do as well.
One day after getting away from the
work I hated after business hours I
was passing a building that was being
torn down. A workman had -taken a
roll of canvas from an old bricked up
chimney and was unrolling it. I
stopped and saw him reveal a dirty
painting. I stepped up to where he
stood and looked over his shoulder. I
was astonished to see a work, which,
though dingy In the extreme, reminded
me of the work of "one of the great
masters who flourished in the latter
part of the fifteenth century. I looked
In the corner where the .name should
be, but the dirt was too thick; no
name was visible.
"What will you take for your find?"
I asked the workman.
"Oh, I don't suppose it is worth
anything," he .said. "Any loose change
you have in your pocket"
"I'm as poor as you are," I said, "but
I know some picture dealers, and if
you will let me have this one I will
see what I can sell it for and divide
with you." The man looked me in the
face, handed me the painting and re
turned to work.
"Give me your address," I said.
He did so, and I went away with his
find. Instead of taking it directly to
picture dealers I carried it to my room,
and sitting down before it, looked at it
a long while. The more I studied it
the more I was impressed with its re
semblance to the works of the artist
I have referred to. The same evening
I went to a library where engravings
of many pictures of the old masters
were kept in portfolios and familiar
ised myself anew with the style of
this particular artist. The more 1 look
ed at his pictures the more I believed
that the find was by him. Could it be
possible that it had been stolen?
I set the librarian to hunting for a
book on stolen pictures, but though he
was successful in finding such a book.
It contained no reference to the la
borer's find. I wished to clean the pic
ture, but did not know how to do so
and was afraid to leave It with any
picture dealer for the purpose lest the
name he uncovered, and If it were as 1
suspected, the painting's value would
be discovered and I be beaten out of it
One day I told my father that I had
left the place he had secured for me
and had gone to work In a picture and
frame shop. He was in despair about
me, and this move capped the climax.
In the shop where I worked I learn
ed to clean pictures. As soon as I be
came sufficiently expert to clean a pic-
-ture I took the materials for doing so
to my home and got the dirt off the
corner where the name of the artist Is
usually placed. What was my delight
to see the name of the artist who I
believed had done the work. ...
Believing the picture to have been
stolen I consulted an expert dealer,
asking him if he could find a record of
one of the artist's pictures having been
stolen. He found a book In which the
artist had been written up with other
painters and a statement that In the
early part of the nineteenth century
one of his paintings belonging to a
nobleman : In England had beeB cut
from Its frame and taken away. ?
I succeeded in time in opening a cor
respondence with the descendants of
the owner and sent them a photograph
of the painting.
This way ; beforev enormous prices
were paid! for certain paintings, but
my correspondents agreed that if the
painting was the : one they had lost
they would pay me $20,000 for it It
turned out to be the identical picture,
and I pocketed $10,000, giving" the
finder an equal amount . ;-'
I am 'now a prominent art dealer.
My find has since sold fo" : 15,1.000.
Our Imagination.
We worry a lot over troubles that
never materialize. The greater part of
our woes Jives in- our imagination. On
tlfat we wiiste our strength and nerve
force, leaving a rather weak prop on
which to lean In real adversity. Trou
ble we must meet -that is inevitable
but we do not have to live it through
twice, the first time in imagination. A
fear of what the future contains is a
clog upon our heels and prevents the
achievement of many an important
deed. "
- OUR NEIGHBORS.
- There is an idea abroad among
moral people that they must make
their neighbors good. One person
i have to make good myself. But
my duty to my neighbor is much
mor neariy expressed by the say
ing that I have to make him happy
if 1 may. Stevenson.
