Last year a man with 14 sows raised to weaning time only 15 pigs, while hla neighbor, who used less toed, but spent every hour with his owe during the farrowing time, raised an average of over eight piga to a lit tar from a large herd of sows. "A HATE 'em!" good old Deacon Pbipps was in the habit of saying, whenever be saw an automobile. From the first moment the new invention appeared, fcunug his steady old horses almost to death, and breaking up one of his best farm wagons, Deacon I'hlpps had 90 patience with any kind of a motor chicle. ' Aa time went on. and mnny of hla elghbors bought automobiles, his horses became wonted to them and turned never a hair w hen they whizzed hy; but the good deacon did not re lent. Whenever one passed him on the road, throwing, perhaps, a shower of dust or mud upon his modest car riage, and leaving behind It a trail of Ill-odor, he would mutter (under his breath) words which no good deacon bould ever, ever use. The deacon and his wife grew old, nd their six children all married, ex cepting Khoila, the youngest, who stayed at home to take care of them. Tie four sons were prosperous, and ttu older daughter hud married a very rich man and lived one hundred or more miles away. Two. sons had be come farmers and lived qnlte near. One was a merchant in a large town perhaps fifty miles distant. The fourth ne was a minister, settled in the wne town with the merchant brother. -To the infinite disgust of Deacon fhlpps, all of these sons, excepting in minister, owned automobiles, and Thomaa, the merchant, actually sport ed three or four When his father fouid this out, he came almost to the po-.nt of breaking off relations with Thomaa In the old daya, the family bad nsi'd to gather on the day before Thanksgiving, and the large, airy chambers of the ample Phlpps home tead could accommodate them all. Now the children and the grandchll orcn had increased in number until uth gatherings were no longer pos sible. The uncles and aunts had died or had become infirm. There had fceen some pretty lonely Thanksgiv ings at the hospitable Phlpps farm. It was during the week before the great day that Deacon Phlpps waa Bit ting before the open fire In hla big. comfortable slttlngroom. and ponder ing over this melancholy fact. A JAS. C.

I wish we could net our fo ks all toRether, Susan, Just once more. Here you an I are vergin' onto eighty, an' we halt had our folks all togethe. lor goin' on ten year now. Here's this great tiouso, dinln' room nt to seat thirty, an' this room to spill over into for as many more, and countln' Sister Judy an Brother tfen. all the sister an' brother we've got left, oless 'em! exept ilt ty, an' she's tied to the house by oer broken bip, an' always will be, it's likely all put together they only count up forty-one, but we can't get 'em together. "Well." he mused on. "well try to get a dozen or bo of 'em an' call It a family party, but you an' I an' Rhody, an' the help are strong an' hearty, aa' could take care of 'em all. If they would only come. But I don't see any way." "No, there Isn't any way," sighed his good wife, "but you hadn't oughter complain. Silas Ye've got a Bight ' blessin's. an' we'd oughter think o' those we've got an' not hanker after those we can't have." Which waa good doctrine, though it could not Quite Btop the deacon's grumbling. Miss Rhoda Phipps was quite eqneJ to the task of taking care of the oM people. A Btrong woman helped her In the kitchen, and there were neigh bors near by who were ready to 4 extra work. Job, the good mlddfcv aged man who had taken care of tfte horses for many a year, was no mean hand at household aa well as stable service, and at this special Thanks giving season Miss Rhoda kept then all busy until the pantries were piled thick, with dainties. Mrs. Phlpps thought that there was too much food prepared. "Why, Rhoda. what do we waat with twenty apple pies and six tur keys and ten chicken pies and a gal lon of cranberry sauce?" she erl4. .a -Mm Deacon Phlpps Was Restlessly Peer ing Up the Road. We never in the world can eat them tip before they upt II! As near aa I run make out. there are only about ten coming, anyway." L!ut Miss Kliorta said she "woakl risk it" and laughed lur mother baek to her post beside the tire. By ten o'clock Thanksgiving mora ine tho whnlp fflrmliouHP was in speckless order. Aunt Judy and Uncle lien nan promibeu 10 come earty, aaa so had son John and his family.

Presently over the brow ot the aill. came a great touring car The deacon fccowled, but as he heard, first the sweet Gabriel horn, and then the rough roar of tho Klaxon, his face re laxed a little. Who were in the caxT It was not the family of son John. Surely It was Thomas and hla mln later brother, with several members of their families, and Mrs. I'hlpps fair ly cried with joy as she saw them. 'There is another load Just behind us," they shouted, as they drew up be fore the door. "Another load!" There were half a dozen loads before the final toll waa taken, and when two strong, big I'hlpps sons lifted out from one of the cushioned limousines poor, lame oU Aunt Betty, who could not have dreamed of coming in anything except such a softly padded vehicle, the teara were dropping all over Mother Phlpps' ne6t white lace Jabot. Huch a Thanksgiving! Every sin gle one of the Phlpps children ana grandchildren was there! The good deacon'B voice trembled with Joy aa he asked the blessing, and poured ovt his thanks before God. "Out you. know, father," said Thomas Phipps, slyly, "there are several of m who couldnt possibly have come If It hadn't been for those automobiles that you hate bo." The deacon ahemmed, and bristled a little, but In the face of the load merriment which greeted this perfect ly true reminder, bis few rather growl ing remarks could not be heard. "You know there really jRn.t' rauoh danger from automobiles nowadays father." proceeded Thomas Phipps diplomatically.
