He ro re the day arrived, however, their long expected lion: lime In Hlgltt and the day sot aside for fasting and praying wax transformed into one of cheer: good dinners and hearty thanksgivings prevailed. This was the first general Thnnkxglvlng of whleh we have any record: It was b no mean the last: from thai day to this sticeojwdve Cnvernors and Presidents have set apart many different days for special Thanksgiving for s'ome propitious event In State or county. .rtor the Itevoliillotinry War was sueceHSfiilly ended Washington ap pointed a Thankxglvlng day that was universally observed with tho greatest lojoielng, a we may well believe, and after our own sad Civil War wis almost ended President Lincoln proclaimed another of similar sort. .Many heart were full of grief then, yet there was mueli to be thankful for. I'or over a century now tho States of New England have set apart a day in the autumn for Hiving thanks to (Sod for th my blessings of the year. It gradually came to seem a very pleasant, appropriate custom, and one Stale afler another adopted It. until now.

"Whatever shall we doV" Mrs. heeler asked Martha despairingly. "We must have the doctor, and how to get the milk to town is a problem. And Thanksgiving Day, too!" "Oh, 1 11 go," volunteered Martha, cheerfully. "1 H tell Dr. Prown to come right up, and then I II peddle the milk. I've been with father so many times that I know all the customers. Martha bundled herself up, put on her mother's rubber boots, and two pairs of mittens, and set out. "Old Hilly must think I'm pretty heavy," she laughed, as she drove, out of the yard with the milk cart (ettiiig to the village, two miles away, was not an easy matter tor a girl not vet sixteen. The roads were not broken out, and badly drifted. The milk cans bumped into each other with great force, and Martha had several narrow escapes from an upsetting. Hut finally, drafton was reached, and Martha drove through the almost deserted streets to Dr. Hrown's hous' rest.

In nearly every instance she was voluntarily paid oxtrA for the milk. "I'll bless you to the last day 1 live," cried Mrs. Morton, when Martha clumped into her kitchen with the milk can. "The baby's been crying for milk all morning and 1 didn't have a mite to give him." When Martha came to the house where her last customer. Miss Webster, a maid on lady, lived alone on a side street, she was surprised to see, that snow had not yet been removed from the doorstep. All was very quiet, and Miss Webster could lie neither seen nor heard. Martha bang ed the door, stamped her feet and rattled the milk can to attract attention. Then she felt sure something must be wrong, and net out to investigate. She oiK-ned the door lending from the sittiug room into the hall. There lay Miss Webster unconscious, with a look of agony on her face. Martha felt u strong impulse to run. She conquered the feeling, got her milk can and dashed some of the icy cold liquid over Miss Webster's face, and at length she opened her eyes. The poor lady was too dazed to talk, hut only moan ed about her foot. Martha tried her best to assist her up. but found it impossible. So she made her a comfortable as she could, and started for help. In the next house an Irish family lived. Mrs. Muleuliy caught sight of the milk cart. "And is it milk ye've got';" she asked joyously. "The saints be good to ye, child, for bringing it. I'll qiko. three quarts, if ye please." "She's a foine lady." said Mrs. Mill enhy when Martha stated her errand. "and faith, darling, it's meself would he glad to do something, but Timniy's got the measles, and my man ain't home, neither, so what kin 1 do, at all. at all?" Martha concluded to go directly for the doctor. Fortunately Dr. Krown had just returned from the Wheeler farm. Leaving the milk cart at the barn. Mar tha got into the doctor's sleigh, and they drove back to Miss Webster's. I lor ankle was broken, as Martha had guessed, and she assisted the doctor while he set the fracture. When he had linished, he said : "Now. little girl, just stay here a while longer till I can get somebody to come UNCLE SAM'S BOUNTEOUS THANKSGIVING. mid tske ear or our pattmt, and thou we'll go home and thankfully eat onr din ner." No TbHiikstvitig dinner had evr tast ed so good to Martha before, though she missed her parents. The doctor insisted upon heaping her plate at every oppor tunity. Lnte in th? afternoon Martha drove home, tired but hippy. Her father was comfortable, r.ud was quite as much in terested ns h: mother in listening to the narrative of her experietie. Hut Martha's Thanksgiving surprises were not all ended. A few days later her father, who had nearly recovered, enme home one morning and gave her a hugd bundle. "Miss Webster told me to give that to you," he said. "It's good and heavy, whatever it is." The bundle proved to contain a mammoth turkey. Around its neck was tied a blue ribbon to which a card was attached bearing the words: "For Miss Marlha Wheeler, with the compliment of those whom she made happy on Tlmnksciviiig. Look nt my heart." Martha was nearly overcome iy this gift, but she proceeded to investigate tho meaning of the card's last sentence. The inside of the turkey proved to be neatly lined with white paper and contained a dainty box, inside which reposed a beau tiful watch, suitably inscribed. "Why, mamma,'.' exclaimed Martha, "we'll have n second Thanksgiving day now. won't we? That wind and snow brought me good fortune, though I didn't think It was very nice then."

Place the turkey on a rack over a pan containing two cups of hot water. It is well to have for busting also a pint of hot water on tho stove In which are three level table spoons of butter.
