Su.bb-n'y Milly's ear canp;ht the

come from the Hollow beyond the di

easily through the leafless thicket,
walking briskly over the hill and
down the opposite descent until she
distinctly heard voices. Further on.
at the edj;e of a natural clearing, she
came upon a party of travelers camped
beside a newly kindled fire, where a
lean, tja-int appearins follow busied
himself with preparations for the

A big. black-whiskered man dropped
his nrmful of horseteed and looked at
her pie'ciiifaly. "Lost?" he asked
brusquely.
"No. I live two miles up the cMvide.
I happened to hear you chopping, and
stopped out of curiosity."
The man's insistent saze annoyed
her, but the forlorn, gaunt appearance
of the little group incited a little
throb of pity and made her think
gratefully of her own cozy, cheerful
little shack, with Jim waiting for her
beside the glowing hearth.
"I suppose you are simply camping
here for the night." she ventured,
looking about at the meager comforts
of th camp.
'Well, no." answered the black

r.Iilly returned in grat good spiritf.
Jirii looked dubious at first, but he. was
loth to damp the ardor of his good
little helpmeet by voicing his doubts
as to the wisdom of inviting eight
strangers to their homo.
"You don't mind, do you, Jim?"
Milly asked, anxiously.
"Not a bit. If it pleappa you let's
have them by all means."
"You should have seen them! Great,
gaunt. hugr-Iookir?g fellows who
probably haven't had a good dinner
lor a year. I do believe lTovideuce

to give them a treat."
"I hope we have enough stuff on
hand," said cautious Jim. "It will take
heaps to satisfy eight hungry men,
you know."
"Of coarse we have plenty. We'll
kill both turkeys and I'll make four
pies instead of one, and two boiled
puddings besides. We'll have potatoes
and turnips and the canned corn I put
up myself, and as much cider as they
can drink. For dessert we'll have real
good coffee and ice cake. Oh, we ll
have enough, you may be sure. Jim,
you must rig up a table big enough to
seat them all."
They worked till bedtime that
night, peeling apples, seeding raisins,
and picking the turkeys. The next
morning Milly rose long before dawn
and set about her baking and brewing,
while Jim put up a big deal table that
stretched almost the length of the
room, and by roon it was set with all
the luscious viands of an eastern
Thanksgiving dinner, set with homely
platters and dishes to be sure, but not
rougher in appearance than the men
who finally seated themselves about
the steaming board. Jim beamed hos

the table and tried dutifully to "act as

looking about the walls with their

I THE KING'S THANKSGIVING TART j
By HOLMAN F. DAY
There ;nce was a kiutf. so minstrels sinff. who ruled with a kindly sway,
AnJ his subjects true were allowed to pursue their own sweet, easy way.
He g'.iid.'d them, of course.
Eut by no dspkiy of force
Did ho arrogate, but was wont to state from thorn was his power's source.
Now it chanced one time, so runs the rhyme, "bis subjects fancied tarts,
X other food seemed half as good on tarts they set their hearts.
Tht-y ate them early, they ate them late just tarts for all their meals,
Unti! they grew all cold and blue, anaemic from head to heels.
Now. the pooilly king had a war on hand and he wanted his men to fight,
And lie used to wish they would drop that dish that was making them thin and
white.
He frequently would implore
That they'd tough meat and gore.
But thry husped to their hearts their love for tarts, and ate them more and more.
Now. the gracious kinsj of whom they sing wag a king who was very wise.
And he issued decree that his folks should be indulged in their vagaries;
He wished to steer as his people dear preferred that he hold' the helm.
So he ordered a. poll of every soul that occupied his realm.
And the count was made eftsoon.
All the people sang one tur.e.
And H3 still their hearts were turned to tarts' their king vouchsafed a boon.
".Since all have shown," spoke he from the throne, "that tarts are all they wish,
1 here proclaim that very same shall be the nation's dish.
My job as your king is nice, smooth thing I've had a real good year.
And 'tv. ill please me much to set 'em up. as Thanksgiving day ia here.
So. r - subjects dear. 1 now and here do issue my decree,
Aul invite you al!, belli great and small, to have a tart on me."
So he issued commands and summoned his bands, and called a multitude
Of baker mn. who there and then contrived and mixed and stewed.
And with skill ar.d art they built a tart that was big as half-outdoor.
With crust so high that it hid the sky, amnuntain of je-li Its core.
They built an oven tight.
They baked a day and night:
Then there it stood, all fresh and good, an appetizing sight.
Tbeii the king gave forth command, and thereto set his hand,
'IhJi nuiie might eat ef fish or meat in all that loyal land.
Ho placed his royal lock
On granary bin and flock,
And he let them start on the public tart at exactly twelve o'clock.
His subject1? cheered tii! their throats were seared, then each backed up his cart.
And, gracious my' how all did vie in loading up with tart.
Thev ate ono week, they ate one month, as much as they did like.
And voted their king the smoothest thing that ever came down the pike.
They rendered praise and blessed his days, but the second month, alaa!
They all agreed on a change of fed, If 'twas nothing else but grass.
So they sought the kindly king.
To him explained the thing.
Allowed his tart Just reached the heart, as he'd heard them often ping.
Kut they humbly begged he would lift the ban he had placed on things to eat.
And grant each grace to stuff his face with 'tatt-rs, corn and meat.
With a twinkle in his eye.
Their good king made reply
That the tart had cost a lot of cash and could not be thrown by.
"So it's up to you. my subjects true; you know I've a kindly heart.
But so long's it's there I'll tell you fair, you just must eat that tart!"
They ate for a week, but I must not speak of the scenes that did ensue,
So like the scenes on a storm-tossed ship on the breast of the ocean blue.
And at last they tore to the king once more, and beat their breasts and wept.
And groveled and groaned, and writhed and moaned, end on their stomachs crept.
With sighs and sobs of woe
They asked if they might, oh.
Please burn the part of the dratted tart they really couldn't "go."
With a kindly look their king he took compassion on their plight.
And passed decree that the tart should be blown galley-west that night.
Then his subjects carved some good, thick steaks, and chawr.ktd on rare, red meat.
And they loudly swore that nevermore would they tackle a tart to eat.
And the good wise guy, their king.
Made a moral from the thing,
A-S he used to do whenever he knew they felt contrition's sting.
And the moral holds to-day:
If A Good Thing comts your way,
I brg you'll go discreetly slow ere the deuce and all's to pay.
Or else your plight may be like that of the folks of whom they sing.
Those chaps of old who tried to hold too much of a Heal Good Thing.
The True Spirit.
"There's food to eat. Melissa; we have
apples in the tin.
And plenty in the cellar, till the pleasant
days begin.
Our barns are packed with oats and hay,
we've fodder in the stark:
Let's thar.k our Heavenly l-'ather for our
crowding family.
Who cares for wealth, with health like
ours: who lo.igs for .?tyle and fu?s?
There's many a millionaire, my dar,
who's poor, compared with us!
Almighty Got. to thee we lift our glad
and grateful fupg.
Thy mercies are to us renewed and con
stant all dav long.

The First Pumpkin Pic
Once upon a time a long while ago,
children, there lived a wise old man
who was always trying to see what he
couid discover.
Having made several perpetual mo
tion machines and one or two air
ships, he was walking through the
fields to avoid his creditors, when he
came upon a pumpkin.
"This," he said to himself, bending
down and feeling of thi yellow orb,

Iy. "Why, it doesn't amount to that. '
said she with a snap of her brow a
fingers. "All the money in the world
would be worthless to mo if I didn't
have Jim."
"I've heard a saying about a 'good
wife being a treasure,' " Blaisedale
remarked. "Your wife proves the
truth of it."
The dinner was a great success.
Blaisedale, who seemed to exert a
mysterious influence over his fellows,
grew very talkative ami entertaining.
He told stories of queer places and
queerer people which savored of fam
lliarity w ith lawlessness and lawbreak
ers, but which kept Jim breathlessly
interested until the eight strange
guests made their adieus. When the
company had filed out of the little
cabin door Blai::ed.ile, who war. last to
go turned at the threshold and hM
out his hand to Milly.
"You remind me of : ome one I on:"
knew." he said, simply, "and for her
sake I'd like to shake hands with you.
Thank you for your hospitality. You
won't regret your kindness, by the
way."

"is a vegetable growth; but I firmly
believe that it ECQuires its hue from
small particles of gold which it ex
tracts from the earth."
So he took the pumpkin on his
shoulder and took it home, telling all
anxious inquirers that he was going
to discover how to extract the gold
from it.
But bless you! when the pumpkin
and the dough came out of the oven
it was not a solid sheet of gold ar all.
but a rich, golden, tantalizing section
of goodness.
And the poor inventor was hungry,
so he bit into it.
A few moments later several of his
creditors broke into the house and
came upon him, cpying: "Look here!
Where is all that gold you were g
ing to get fcr us?"
"And he never even looked un at
them, but kept right on eating, saying,
"Who cares f'r geld ? (Bite. bite.
O-o-o-oh!) Who cares f'r gold? :.Ie:i,
I have discovered pumpkin pie!"
And the creditors sat down also and
ate, and they, too, were happy ever
after. Judfre.

The Use of Tobacco.
One of the most difficult things in
the world is to set any authoritative
conclusion about the effe'ts of using
tobacco. . Literature is filled with
peans in its praise and maledictions
in equal measure. Some things, how
ever, tve do not know about tobacco:
It costs a vast sum of money, is one
of the most inipoitant industries in
the world, and an important source
of revenue to all nations. Americans
consume 7.edu..(iOtoiM ei.nars annually,
and the yearly increase in the con
sumption is nearly (i.mT.iVio.oOO. Smok
ers use 3.oo;i,0(i0,00'i cigarettes :ni.u
a!ly. and cons time in other forms, as
in muff, ping and smoking tobacco.

tobacco exported end that used in
