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 cent confirmation of that tranquillity by the suppression of an Insurrection which to wantonly threatened It." And In auother place the President re pents this Idea, asking hla people "to render a tribute of praise and gratitude to the Great Disposer of all events, for the aeasonable control which haa been given lu 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 Pensylvanla In 171)4, caused by the passage by Congress of acta imposing duties upon spirits distilled and upon stills. It waa finally suppressed by Gov. I.ee of Maryland, with 15,000 troopa, acting under orders of the President. end I've never bad a chance to pay him back." "All right. Boh. we'll do It." Knrly In the evening the boys worked Industriously at their lsntern, cutting ryes, iioae and mouth. Then little pieces of caudle were placed liisl.ie, 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 hoys atialthlly leave the house. She despised a menu action, and Hob and Roy knew she would not approve of their unkind sport. They qiiirkly crossed the fields and walked down a hill Into a lonely, damp hollow. Right before them stood a small, tumble down house with a feeble light shining from one tiny window. The boys crept tn this side and crouched beneath It. Just as Boh was about to raise the Inn- 7RASK B. KISTSEB PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Office. Patterson's Drug Store. Kenideuce with J.

We had such a lovely dinner last time. Ia it because we aren't thankful that we can't have any Thanks giving dinner?" There was a pane of glass broken nut of the window, and the boys could hear every word. Bob softly lowered the Ian tern and put out the candles, and both waited to hear the anawer. "No, darling, the reason ia that wa haven t any money to buy such tilings Blues father died, deary, It has been very hard for mother to even buy bread for ua." Then a boyish voles with a brave note In It apokai "Never nilud, mother. Wa'll get along. I don't Ilka pumpkin plea very well, my self, because they're so spicy. But I'm going to buy Best a bag of sugar cookies with that ten cents 1 earned. Won't that bs idea, Betels V carried from the field. Mrs. Phillips carefully filled them with tarts, Jell! cakes, celery and delicious nil nee pies, a great pat of fresh buttor 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 auother thing could be crammed Into them. Mr. Phil. lips now appeared to assist with hearty good will and brought a great basket of tHitntoea, turnips, apples, and, last but not least, a huge turkey, all ready for roasting. These things, together with the pumpkins, were curried 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 tee theae mmense pumpkins! And oh, there's a turkey and a big basket of tilings. The surprised uttle woman hurried to the door and, after gazing at the gifts n astonishment, said, "Let a carry them lu. I wonder who has been so kind to us?" They dragged the basket and pumpkins Into the houao, and suddenly the hoy cried ont, "Oh! oh! these big pumpkins are full of lovely things. lon't cry, mother, dear. I know who loft these things. It was those Phillips boys, Bob and Roy. I'm sure It was, because I beard them ask their mother If they could have those big pumpkins. Twins, they called 'em. To-morrow I'll go and ask Boh Phllllpt' forgiveness for hitting him and tell him I didu 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't a brick. He needn't beg my forgiveness. And we'll be friends after this." Then he sank Into a sound and happy aleep. Detroit Fret Press.
