THACIKSGMNG, 0UT C7UNCE
HAD A RIGHT IC7GA.
Tho TH!iiio Weenies alwuys had eeb-brated Thanksgiving day
with a 1Ik dinner, but this year ihlrigs were different. The big fin,
which destroyed (heir village, hud burned up all their supplies and
about all tho Utile folks had to oat wan corn bread and potatoes.
"A run t we even goin' to have cuke and Ice erearn?" asked the
Punce, looking anxiously at the (iencral one evening while a num
ber of tho family sat around tho tiny Hlove discussing the holiday.
"I'm Horry to nay that we are not," answered the General sadly.
"We will havo to celebrate with Just plain corn bread and potato
roup for our dinner."
"The Turk brought in a piece of apple today," said the Cook.
"I can make some apple nance, but J won't have any sugar to put
In It."
"Ah, Jimmlnlo Christmas!" exploded the Dunce, who waa mighty
fond of good thlnga to cat. "in that all we get?"
"I'm sorry, Dunce, but that's the best I can do," answered the
Cook. 'We're poor now, and wo can't have the good things we used
to have when we were rich."
All the Tienle Wecnlea were much disappointed, but the Dunce
Deemed to feel It more than any one else. Perhaps It waa because he
liked to eat more than the other Teen In Weenies, but, anyway, the
little fellow waa quite sober for aeverafdaya, which waa quite tin
uaual for 1dm.
"Say, Gogo," said the Dunce one afternoon while the two Teenle
Weenies were cutting sonic wood for the stove, "I have been thlnkln'
a lot about not havln' a Thanksgiving dinner, and I don't think I''
right. We ought to have an egg or something good."
"Pat sounds powerful sensible to me," answered the colored
Teenle Weenie. "But where wo gwine to get an egg?"
Yes, sah. We's as po' as a skecter In a Ink bottle."
"Well," cried the Dunce, "if we are )Kor, there wouldn't be any
harm In begging an egg, would there? Poor people can beg, can't
they?"
"Yes, sah. Put's de privilege mos' po' folks seem to have."
"Well, then, can't you and me dress up a little in some ol" rags and
go around to some of the chicken yards and beg an egg off some old
hen?"
"Well, as I'm powerful fond of hen's egg, I done say flat sounds
mighty reasonable," agreed the little colored fellow.
'We won't say a word about It to any one, and we'll go and get
the egg and surprise every one," said the Dunee.
That afternoon tho two Teenle Weenies dressed themselves up In
rags to look poor as possible and then aet out to beg an egg.
Tho first hen the little fellows saw Was rather surly looking, but
the Punre screwed up courage, and, walking up to her, he took off
ms nar ana uowea politely.
"Madam," he said, "we are two jxior, hungry Teenle Weenies, and I wonder If you
would be so kind as to give us an egg?"
"No!" snnppcd the hen, her red comb tundng an angry purple. "No, I don't feed
tramps."
The two Teenie Weenies lost little time In getting out of the sight of the crabby old
hen, hoping they would have better luck with the next one.
Presently they came to another chicken yard, where they soon discovered an old duck
on her nest.
"We are two poor, hungry Teenle Weenies," said the Dunce, "and we wondered If
you could spare us an egg?"
" (.'''Ye! think It's going to rain," answered the duck, who was hard of hearing.
Kes'." shouted the Dunce. "We'ro hungry. Will you give us an egg?"
"Quite likely," grinned the old duck. "That Is, If It doesn't snow."
The poor Dune climbed up on the edge of the duck's rest and fairly screamed Into
her ear, but she couldn't hear a single word. She was atone deaf, and the two little fel
lows made themselves hnnriMi Irvine tr, ninb. t.o hnol.

"No use talkin' 10 lul old i.-toy," said Gogo, who was sitting on a corncob below,
"She pretty neah as deaf aa a do'knob." So the two little fellows hunted up another hen.
Tho next hen seemed quite pleasant. She was plump and neat, and when the Pune
asked her for an egg aho promised at once to give them one.
"Why, Hess your hearts!" cried the hen, tears gathering in her big yellow eyes. "Of
course I'll give you an egg, -you poor little things. I Just laid an egg not over half an
hour ago, and you shall have it." The hen took the two little fellowa to her nest, where
i hey found a lovely fresh egg, and they lost little time in rolling It out.
After thanking tho hen for her kindness, the Teenle Weenies rolled the egg towards
home. . It took a long time to get It home; In fact, It waa quite dark when they arrived.
There waa great excitement when the Teenie Weenies saw th egg. "Now we'll have
real Thanksgiving dinner," they cried. They stood on their heads, turned handsprings
laughed, hugged each other, and did all sorts of foolish things, for everybody knew ther
would be a great feast on Thanksgiving day.

Letters from Little Folks of Happyland
(Prize.)
A Kind ;irl.
One day Florence was out watc h
ing a man with his sheep. Flor
ence noticed that he li.nl no dog
with him this time. "Why have you
left your dog al home?" she asked,
The man said, "Aly dog can never
help me with the sheep again, A
Imd boy threw a alone ut him and
broke one of his legs. I hhull kill
him tonight to put him out of ills
pain. The little girl whs very sad
when she heard this. She dhl nut
) anything In the mail, but went
w t r- -
I think he will be quite well In a
few days."
The next morning she went to see
how It was, and to bind It up again.
She took good care of the dog and
fu a few days It was well again.
This Kill took care of the sick and
wounded soldiers, and saved many
lives.
In you know the name of this
girl? It was Florence Nightengale,
don't you think It was a splendid"
mime?
