EACON SILAS LAPIIAM wid
ower had been paying atten
tions to Aunt Sarah Hender
son widow for two years
Each heard that the other was stub
born and each was watching and wait
ing for the other to exhibit the trait
Thanksgiving brought the crisis - The
widow invited the deacon to dinner
There was no question about tliy dea
con taking the head of the table but
when the matter of carving came up
the widow took knife and fork in hand
and said
I can do it so much better than you
you know
I fall to see how or why ho re
plied
Because I have always carved It
was an eccentricity of mine even when
I was a girl No doubt you can slice
ham or pork but when it comes to
carving a turkey
I have carved thousands of them

as you must know interrupted tin
deacon with considerable asperity
Dont jab the fork into the bird like
that Thats like a hired man jabbing
a pitchfork into a heap of hay
I was not jabbing -In order to
start carving you must get a firm hoKi
of the bird
Then take it by a leg
Never How would you look hold
ing the bird with one hand while you
sliced away with the knife If you
have always carved that way
I have and its the only way to
carve There you are jabbing again
One would think you were a soldier
bayoneting an enemy
Deacon Silas Lapkam you are talk
ing like a child When I think I need
to be told how to carve a turkey I will
call on you for advice I simply get a
firm hold with the fork and then
And then jab jab jab A woman
has no business with the carving knie
and fork when there is a man present
I will carve this turkey
I beg your pardon but you will sit
there and see me carve it Dont for
get that I am in my own house and
that I am still my own boss
You invite me to dinner and then
humiliate me do you shouted the
deacon as he shoved back his chair
Now dont be a schoolboy chideu
the widow as she flourisipd the kivfo
around Having got a 1rm hold with
the fork I now proceed to cut around
the thigh joint thus
But you are sawing Instead of cut
ting
No Im not
Widow Henderson
Deacon Lapham
If I was a swearing man
Youd get off a swear word on this
occasion Yes you look as if you were
swearing to yourself this minute
I haint sworn a single swear but
when a man has to sit here and seo a
Thanksgiving turkey jabbed and poked
and stabbed and sawed and butchered
the Lord would surely forgive him for
one or two swear words
Deacon Silas Lapham she replied
as she rested from her labors I said
I could carve a fowl
Then why dont you
I am doing it and if you would
keep quiet for five minutes I
This is too much widow too
much said the deacon as he started
for his overcoat and hat You invite
me here and then insult me I heard
about your obstinacy
And I heard about yours
And your wretched temper
Same to you
But I thought it a slander Now
however I can no longer doubt
Neither can I
It was ray place to carve that tur
key In your obstinacy you continued
to saw and jab and butcher without
regard to my feelings My only re
course is to bid you good day and
take my hat and leave
If you will act like a boy I cant
help it
And never come again finished
the deacon as he got on his over
coat
The widow ate her Thanksgiving
dinner alone but that turkey was
never carved to form a part of It
After the deacons departure she re
turned to the carving knife and even
tually managed to saw off a piece of
the meat but she had no sooner tasted
it than she started for the kitchen to
interview the hired girl
It was throe or four days before the
mystery was solved for there was u
mystery The turkey which had been
killed three or four days ahead of time
and hung up to freeze had been cut
down and devoured by cats and to
save himself from reproof the hired
man had killed a peacock and hung it
In its place
And so you see I had to saw and
jab explained the widow as the wid
ower was sent for
I see

And you would also have had to
saw and iab
And though you went away you
didnt miss your turkey
N o
And all things considered
Yes all things considered
The deacons fur had to be rubbed
the right way for a time but he purred
at last and on this Thanksgiving day
he will do the carving and his wife
will pass the cranberry sauce
Our Thankfuiest Thanks
By ROBERTUS LOVE
Copyright 190S by American Press Association
H we are thankful for manifold
blessings
Thankful for life and for home and
for health
Thankful for turkeys with savory dress
ings
Thankful for progress and wisdom and
wealth
Thankful for corn and alfalfa and clover
Thankful for money and faith in the
banks
Thankful so thankful election is over
That is the source of our thankfuiest
thanks
One year in four is a leap year remember
This is one of em and many a man
Sworn to stay single if this were Decem
ber
Now would give thanks to be freed of
the ban
Yet theres a bother thats still more dis
tressing
One year in four all the rest it out
ranks
Namely election which keeps us
Now that its over our thankfuiest
thanks
Man can escape from the maiden pursu
ing
Man can resist the Importunate miss
Simply a system of shunting and shoo
ing
That will avoid matrimonial bliss
But there is never a man so evasive
He can escape the political tanks
Always a drip with ralaver persuasive
Now that theyre quiet our thankfuiest
thanks
Season of roaring and ranting and raving
Period when it is perfectly plain
Every mans uppermost duty is saving
Washingtons country from bondages
chain
Time when your friend or your father or
brother
For his opinions you class with the
cranks
Now for four years we cannot have an
other
So let us offer our thankfuiest thanks
Maybe twas tariff and maybe twas labor
Maybe twas courts that so split us
apart
Maybe the trusts so affected your neigh
bor
That he dissevered himself from your
heart
Maybe injunctions or guaranteed banking
Any or all of the partisan planks
v7ell it Is over so now for the thanking
Now for reunion our thankfuiest thanks
Oh we are thankful the nation is living
Thankful the dear old republic is still
Sure of a hand to proclaim a Thanksgiv
ing
Thankful so thankful his front name Is
Bill
Thankful are we that Columbia Is leaping
Four years away from political pranks
Such a relief is occasion for heaping
Thus on Thanksgiving our thankfuiest
thanks
