They are just, alike, too. I'll bet they're twins. I never saw such big ones, did you?" "My eyes, Roy, but they are whop pers! I wonder if we can have them for lanterns; We'll ask mother."' ' "Mother!" called Bob and Koy from the back yard, "can we have these two pumpkins for lanterns?" "Oh, what large ones. Yes, boys, you may have them. They are too big for pies," answered Mrs. Phillips from the doorway. The boys continued their work of gath ering pumpkins, and only one was found to match "the twirls" in size. "We'll make a laaitern to-night out of this one, Bob, and save the twins till Thanksgiving eve. Then we'll have some fun," said iioy. "I say, Roy, let's go and scare those people down in the hollow. Hold it up to the window and then run. Thp boy who lives there hit me with a snowball and nearly knocked out my front tooth, and I've never had a chance to pay him back." "All right. Bob, we'll do it." Early in the evening the boys worked industriously at their lantern, cutting eyes, nose and mouth. Then little pieces of caudle were placed insiue, and it was truly a hideous-looking thing. Mrs. Phillips, who was busy preparing the Thanksgiving dainties for that glad day, did not notice the boys stealthily leave the house. She despised a mean action, and Bob and Iioy knew she- would not approve of their unkind sport. They qnickly crossed the fields and walked down a hill into a lonely, damp hollow. lUht before them stood a small, tumble down house with a feeble light shining from one tiny window. The boys crept to, this side, and crouched beneath it Jdst as Bob was about to raise the lan- FILLING THE rrMr-KINS. jeru alter he had lighted the candles, a child's voice asked'auxiously: 1 "Sfother, aren't we going to have any pumpkin pies or turkey r anything nice on Thanksgiving? We had such a lo.vely dinner last time. Is it because we aren't thaokf ul that we can't have any Thanks- 'giving dinner?" 1 Theve was a ot ,ass bpoken out "No, , darling,' the reason is that we haven't any money to buy Bach things. Since father died, deary, it has been very hard for mother to even buy bread for Then a boyish voice with a brave note In ft spoke; "Never mind, mother. We'll get along.

Won't ;tat U ukt, Betslal" vm THANKSGIVING DAY When the citizens will be independent of market News. Roy pinched Bob and they both crept up the hill and into , the pumpkin field. Seeing the twin pumpkins gleaming in the moonlight, both sat down on them. "I say, Roy," said Bob, "that's pret ty hard not to have any Thanksgiving dinner, and that boy's a brick. Did you hear him comforting his mother? I like him even if he did nearly knock out my front tooth. Let's tell mother all about It. It makes me squirm, though, to think what she'll say about us scaring people. I'm glad we didn't do it, any way.?. ' , But Roy did not answer. He was thinking. Suddenly he jumped two feet iu the air and said: "Hurrah, Bob, hurrah! I have It now!" "What have you, Roy? Tell me quick!" The boy resumed his seat on the pump kin and unfolded his plan. "We'll tell mother all about it," he began, "and ask her to sell us a lot of pies, cakes, jelly, tarts and a turkey. and we can pay for them with our chick' en money. Then we'll scoop out all the insides of these twin pumpkins and fill 'em with the nice things, and the night before Thanksgiving we'll carry them down to that old house and kick the door and run. Won't that be fun? A hundred times better than making a lan tern." - Bob heartily agreed to the plan, and both boys harried home. "Mother! mother! we've got something to tell you," called Bob, breathlessly. Mrs. Phillips sat down and listened while the boys shamefacedly told about their Intention of scaring the people iu the hollow, at which she looked very grave.' Then they excitedly told her their plans. "Take all our chicken money, mother. and jrive us piles of good things," said Roy. "And if there isn t enough money you can have some of our chickens to pay for the stuff," added Bob. Mrs. Phillips entered gladly into the scheme and promised to have everything read; by Thanksgiving eve. She allow ed the boys to pay for part of the feast, as she thought it would be a good lesson for them. The boys were much excited and early pn the appointed night brought in the twin pumpkins, nicely cleaned inside, and each with a small cap cut off at the top. It was a very important part of the plan that the pumpkins should look as if just carried from the field. Mrs. Phillips carefully filled them with tarts, jellies, cakes, celery and delicious mince pies, a great pat of fresh butter shaped like a pumpkin, two loaves of currant bread and a pair of chickens. The boys added a big bag of oranges and a box of candy especially for Bessie. Then the pump kins were so full that not another thing could be crammed into them. Mr. Phil lips now appeared to assist with, hearty good will and brought a great basket of potatoes, turnips, apples, and, last but not least, a huge turkey, all ready for roasting. These things, together with the pumpkins, were carried with much smothered laughter to the .door of the little old tumble-down house. The golden balls filled with goodies held the place of honor and were stationed directly be fore the door. The boys had the pleas ure of kicking on the door and then dived into the darkness. The door flew open and a young voice called, "Mother, oh, come and see these immense pumpkins! And oh, there's a turkey and a big basket of things." The surprised little woman hurried to the door and, after gazing at the gifts in astonishment, said, "Let's carry them in. I wonder who has been so kind to us?" They dragged the basket and pumpkins into the house, and suddenly the boy cried out, "Oh! oh! these big pumpkins are full of lovely things. Don't cry, mother, dear. I know who left these things. It was those Phillips boys, Bob and Roy. I'm sure it was, because I heard them ask their mother if they could have those big pumpkins. Twins, they called 'em. To-morrow I'll go and ask Bob Phillips' forgiveness for hitting him- and tell him I didn't mean to." Bob and Roy walked slowly home, kissed their parents good night and went to bed. The last thing Bob said was, "The boy's a brick. He needn't beg my forgiveness. And we'll be friends after this." : Then he sank into a sound and -happy sleep. Detroit Free Press.

How Washington's Proclamation Dif fered from Those of Later Days. ' Nowadays, the Thanksgiving .proclama' tion of the State and national executives are brief compared to what they were in the early days of our republic, says a writer in the Boston Herald. In the case of the latter he doesn't foreshadow his forthcoming annual message as was somewhat the vogue in President Wash ington's time. This is seen in the. Thanks giving proclamations issued by our great and good first President in the early part of the year 1795, in which he appointed' Feb. 19 as a day of public thanksgiv ing and prayer." The "Father of His Country" was then 63 years of age and was serving his sixth year as President. It was a long document and covered quite a number of points. . Of these, will advert very briefly to only three or four which are peculiarly slgnficant. In the preamble he mentions, as the first subject, "demanding the public at tention on this solemn occasion, our ex eruption from a foreign war" and next proposes, as "an object of gratitude,1 the "increasing prospect of the continu ance of our exemptions from a foreign war." Which propositions evidently re late to the settlement, through special envoy, John Jay, of our serious trou bles with Great Britain, growing out of the continued occupation by the British of the western forts on Lake Brie, con trary to the treaty of 1783; and the seiz ure of American vessels bound for French ports by British ships and the imprisonment of American seamen. Another cause for thanksgiving, ac cording to the same high authority, is "the great degree of internal tranquillity we have enjoyed." To which is added "our cause for thankfulness for the re- ceut confirmation of that tranquillity by the suppression of an insurrection which so wantonly threatened it." And in another place the President re peats this idea, asking his people "to render a tribute of praise and gratitude to the Great Disposer of all events, for the seasonable control which has been given in a spirit of disorder In the sup pression of the late Insurrection." What the President had in mind in this allu sion was the "great whisky insurrection" in Pensylvania in 1794, caused by the passage by Congress of acts imposing duties upon spirits distilled and upon stills. It was finally suppressed by Gov. Lee of Maryland, with 15,000 troops. acting under orders of the President. Turkey Gobbler Time.

Letters of congratula tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh . rem edy are pouring in from every , state in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. , All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor ar tisan, the clerk, the editor, the states man, the preacher all agree that Pe runa ia the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and loetrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are es pecially enthusiastic in then praise and testimony. Any man who wjshes perfect health must be entirely fiee from catarrh. Catairh is well nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Peruna is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of ca tarrh. To prevent cold?, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh of its victims. Peruna not only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The ex-governor of Oregon is an ard ent admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continually in the house.
