Thanksgiving in Alliance 1909
This is the day to feast and pay
Our homage to the Maker;
We might first see if the proper fee
Has gone to the "butch" and baker.
And next to feel with gratitude real,
That life is worth the living;
We're blessed with health not bur
dened with wealth
Nor worried about the giving.
If debts are paid, a living made,
And we know just where we're stand
ing,
Ged pity the rest we've done our best,
No fear about the lauding.
Misfortunes will come, and we've had
some
They might have been still greater
And then the thought that we know not
The blessings they'll bring us later.
By voices raised, the Lord be praised,
Nor a single note of defiance,
By the people all both great and
- small

Handy Cars For Stockmen.
from The Omaha Heo:
Stockmen shipping to the South Om
aha market are manifesting pleasure
over the fact that the new street car
line is being built and will soon be in
operation, which will take them from
the city direct to the Exchange build
ing, where the offices of commission
men are locatedjto the South Omaha
horse market and the cattle sales divi
sion. In the past, shippers have had to
walk across the viaduct and several
blocks to reach these places, where al
most everyone selling on the South
Omaha market has to go. The ar
rangment for the service and extension
was made by the Union Stock Yards
company with the Omaha and Council
Bluffs Street Railway company, and at
some expense to the stockyards people,
who arranged it in the interest of shippers.

J2 ALL hail! All hail! Oh, rare and antique bird
uk That lately on the venerable tree
. m n-lloJ in n tioll nt til nan !in ntiill ttrtnris riflftTfl
Moaning In mournful gusts thine elegy!
No more the sun will gild thy red oravat
Or ripple on thy wing,
For time hath caught thee, even "as the cat
Catches the gray and agile whiskered rat,
And now thy praise we sing,
Gathered about the board, serene and gay,
Upon Thanksgiving day.
i
E
With io7 we see thee fry5xr on thy back,
Thy chaste, lush drumsticks stickingin the air;
Thy wings in sweet peace folded and, alack,
The incense of lHy stuffing, pungent rare,
Filling our souls with heavenly melody,
The while with fork, and lame
Thy dark meat and thy whitejmeat fondly we
Suffuse with gravy in our revelry
And then, with pleasure rife,
Each dainty morsel neatly ttfck away
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Thou'rt nobler than the canvwbaok or goose,
The lordly shanghai or theitortolan
Or any other minstrel that inloose
From Tuscaloosa to Cape Mary Ann.
Compared with thee the woodcock is a mere
Delusion all in all; 'j
The upland plover ne'er can thy peer,
Beside thee to the epicure aad seer
The prairie hen is small;
Thou art the bird of freedom "anyway
Upon Thanksgiving day.

On the Noble Art of Being Thankful

Every girl wishes she was charming.

the art of giving thanks gracefully.
Have you eer practiced It? If not.
Tlmiiksghing Is the appointed time to

people speak beautiful words of you
and young wimen envy you.
Perhaps you are going to Thanksgiv

who lives up to the good old Neto Eng

going for a long day's outing In the
