BY MARION A. LONG.
"Oh, Bob, just look at these two pump
kins! Aren't they monsters? 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

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

TWO THANKSGIVINGS.
And now.
THANKSGIVING IN 1795.
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.

PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OF OREGON.
Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. 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.
