HARBOUR. 9f Mtt rrjIIEY did not pay much attention Mlto Thanksgiving In the country V school district in which I taught In the West a good many years ago. Christ- mas win the chief holiday of the winter, and It was celebrated without any apeciul demonstration, for most of the people were poor and there waa not much sent I ment in their general make-up. Old Han nan uorton, wittrwnom I bonnied, waa of New England birth, and she had not come to the West until some years after her mart-Inge. She waa woman ot a good deal ot force ot character, and no OM In the neighborhood hud a nimbler tongue. One evening about two weeks before Thanksgiving I said to her: "Do the people observe Thanksgiving very generally in this neighborhood Y "No, they do not," replied the old ludy with considerable emphasis, "And it haa always been a good deal ot a trial to me that ao little attention was paid to a day that we made ao much ot back there In dear old New England, It was the great est holiday ot the year to us, and bow we did e&joy It J" "Why do they pay so little attention to it here?" "Well, I guess It Is Just because they bave never got In the way of paying any attention to It. They never celebrated the Fourth ot July as It ought to be cele brated until my husband got them atarted to doing it ten years before he died, and now - we have a tug celebration every year." "Some one ought to start them to cele brating Thanksgiving," "So they ought. Hut who Is to do It?" T reflected for a tew moments, and then I said: "Suppose we start them off In that di rectlon." she married John Watters against the squire's wishes. There was nothing against John, excepting that he was poor, and he had a brother that had been In Jnll, but John couldn't help that, and ne nas done splendidly ever since be mar j i. i , . neu, ana u is my opinion tnat the squire wonia line to make up with John and Nellie, only he is too proud to make any advances, and they won't either. Then there is Kate Whiting and her sister, Lucy Patch, who had a falling out years ago, and ain't spoke to each other since, and before that one was the very shadder or tne other. Kcuben Hoopes and his brother Silas and their, families fell out over the property after old man Hoopes died, and they ain't ever spoke since. Then the Anderson and Kobey families had a fulling out five years ago, and they don't speak, and before that they were as thick as flics around a molasses bar'l. Then there are other families In the dis trict that ain't as friendly as they ought to be, so your Thnnksirlviiig dinner miirht end in a. riot if all these people come to gether In the school house." Not with a womnn of your tact at the head of It." I said. "Well, yon go ahead and cot it tin. and I will aid and abet you all I cuu. It will be a break in the monotony of things here even it there Is a fight." I spent all of my time before and nftne school during the next ten dura in cull- I Ing at all of the homes in the iu.IlMii- noon, anu inviting tne people to come to tne school house on Ihuukiwiyiiig day with well-filled baskets. The school house was unusually large, and there would be room for all if we took out a part of the seats. Three days before inanksgivlng old airs. Dorton said: "I guess you'll have the house full Thanksgiving. Nancy Ross was in here to-day, and she says that the whole dis trict Is coming, and Nancy knows if any one does, for she spends most of her time trotting about picking up gossip and re tailing it out aagin. She is as good ns the local columns of a newspaper for giv ing news about whot folks are saying and doing, and she says that the Idea of the Thanksgiving dinner In the school house was taught like wildfire. Nnn says she wouldn't miss it for" a party." The larger boys and girls of the school mot me at the school bouse the evening iieiore.inanKSRiving, ana we decorated tne room beautifully with evergreens aud "WB WILI, KOW MSO." several flags we had been able to borrow. Provision bad been made for two long tables to run almost the entire leucth r the room with some Smaller tables in the corners. 'I suppose that we will have to he careful how we seat the people at the ta bles," I said to Mrs. Dorton. "You just leave that mostly to me " said the old lady. "I kuow the neonle two children are to set at this table over In this corner. Come right along." Anc when they were seated the old lady bus tled up to Mrs. Patch and said: "Now, Lucy, you and your husbnnd and the children are to sit here at this table." "And if she didn't plump them right down with the Whitings that they hadu't spoken to for years," said the voluble Nancy Ross afterward. Indeed Nancy was so fond of telling .about that Thanksgiving dinner afterward that I think I will let her tell about it now. "Then," she said, "if that Hanner Dor ton didn't set old Squire Bent down at the head of one table with his daughter Nellie at his right hand and his son-in-law, John Watters, at his left, an' their baby in a high chair at Its grnn'pa's side, an' it wa'n't three minutes before the old Squire had that baby in his arms and he et his whole dinner with the little thing in his lap.. I heard his daughter any to him, 'bhan't I take the baby. father, so that yon can eat your dinner in greater comfort?" But he held right on to it, and there he sat taikin' to Nellie and John same as if there'd never been any trouble at all. And he had that baby in his arms the whole afternoon, nu' went around ns proud, sayin' to folks, 'See my grandson. Ain't he a mighty fine boy?'

Their wives hnve nl ways wanted to make up, an' I tell you tney round their tongues mighty soon, an 'fore that meal was over they was taikin' away as if there had never been any row over property or anything else. An' before they knew it the Anderson and Itobey families found themselves nt the same table with Ilnnner snjin' to 'em, 'Now it don't make no diff'rence about the past.

"Then If she didn't np an' set old Ruth Norse an' old Betty Underwood down side by side, an' they hadn't spoke to each other for years, an' before they knowed it them two old bodies was chat tin away together as if they had never had a fallin' out in the world. Then when she had got all the people thnt were enemies set down side by side she seated every one else, and then she said, " 'We will now sing.' "'Blest be the tie that biuds."' An' ev'rybody sung It. nu' then Elder Sharpe asked a blessin' an the dinner was begun.

I tell yon we'd good reason to stand up as we did before wa started ror home an sing How Boms Popular Phrases Came Into the English Langniage Many Came From the Hooting Field-Origin of the Term Bankrupt. Words, like men, bave histories, while others embody history. To the latter ; clas belongs the word "rigmarole." Everybody understands It as signifying a confused and meaningless Jumble I but few recall the fact that It com; from ragman's roll. Now, the ragman roll was a crown document of no small Importance. It Is a real roll of ancien parchment aud records categorically the Instruments aud deeds by which Scotland's nob.lity and gentry gave in their adhesion aud swore allegiance to Edward I. of England toward the close of the thirteenth century. Naturally, it Is a somewhat confused document, but possibly not quite so much con fused as confusing to the good people of its own era. It must have been upsetting In those days to discover that the lords and gen tlemen thought to be stanchest for the old order bad gone ovef to the invadin king. Yet there is something to be said for the lords and gentlemen they loved not Scotland's Independence less, but their heads and their estates rather more. Most of us are fond of venison that Is to say, deer's flesh. Formerly, how ever, that word had a wider meaning, being used for any flesh bunted-that Is, meat of venery, Venery Is the old word for hunting thus foxes and wolves and badgers furnish "venison' no less than the lordly stag. Cur, the synonym for a worthless dog, nas somewhat the same derivation. In feudal England the dogs of the villein age, no doubt mostly starving inon grcls, were by law required to be cur-talled-that is, have their tails cut short, so that they might be readily dis tinguished from the stag and boar hounds of the lords and gentlemen. The stag hounds ran true upon the scent, the mongrels would confuse and draw them off from it. Sometimes the'vil lein-dogs had likewise to suffer "hom bllug" that la, cutting away the two middle toes from each foot, so they could not run with the hounds. A cur- tail-dog, or curtle-dog. In time became simply a cur. His owners, the villeins, who lived In clustered 'hovels outside the castle walls, Jn like manner gave rise to the word village. Another wonderfully expressive phrase "to run riot" also comes from the hunting field. Foxhounds run riot when they leave the drag of the fox and go racing and chasing off upon the seent of hares and rabbits, whose com pany the fox seeks when he finds him self pursued. Indeed, In fox-hunting parlance, hare scent is known as "riot." The familiar phrase "on the pad," as signifying going hither and yon, also throws back to Reynard the fox. His feet are known technically as pads when he gets up and begins to move about sportsmen say he Is "on the pad." Strange as It may seem, the word "tallyho!" In a manner connects the bunting field .with the coach. Tallis hors, pronounced tallyho Norman French for "out of the thicket"-was the proper cry when the fox broke cov er. The huntsman and the master of the foxhounds answered the cry with long blasts of the horn. Then when public coaches began to run their horns blew the tallyho blasts; further, as lux ury progressed, finer coaches of teu took to the meet, and the throwing off. fine people who did not Intend to follow the hounds, but to see them sneetacularlv Between use and luxury the conch with seats on top crystallized as the tallvho The tallyho It Is likely to remain, unless all the world should go automobile mad Though the bankrupt Is so common among us nowadays, few know whence ne derived his unenviable eoirnomen It Is among the most Interesting of worus wiiu Histories.

Him to Be IH Long-Lost Brother. During the Macon (Ga.) street fair one of the attractions was a wild man, who ate raw meat and was bound In chains. The wild man has been at his business so long that be understands it quite thoroughly, and now be thinks he ought to have better wages. To the public he never says a word, but be talked some good plain English to his employers the other day. He Intimated that he would form a wild man's union If necessary to get higher wages. His employers undertook to tell him who he was and to remind blrn that he was In their pow er, but he swore In all the oaths pe culiar to the wild man's vernacular, de claring that he would quit being wild and become civilized before he would continue to eat raw meat and wallow around at the end of steel chains In a hot pit for $1.50 a day. It was finally! agreed that be could have $2 a day, and' he went back down Into the pit and is now wilder than ever. This particular wild man has a broth er who has for some time been wander ing about In civilization, and a roinnn tlc meeting occurred between the two. They didn't fall on each other's necks and weep. The civilized brother pnid his dime to see the wild man, not dreaming that he was to see his own long-lost brother. After gazing into the pit for a few minutes, his eyes resting on the raw meat and huge steel chains rather than on the creature so securely bound, he looked at the well-advertised wild man. He started as if about to scream. Then he caught the wild man's eyes, and they recognized each other. They both broke out In a big ha ! ha! the wild man laughing Just like his civil ized brother. The management did not allow the two to get together, but hurriedly eject ed the civilized brother. As the wild man had just received a raise of 50 cents a day, he was satisfied to let his brother continue to wander In the walks of civilization. THE COLD WEATHER r Increasing Demand for ;:nic.
