THANKSGIVING ON THE FARM Oh! the farm was bright. Thanksgiving morn. With its stacks of hay and shocks of corn. Its pumpkin heaps in the rambling shed. And its apples brown and green and red. And In its cellar its winter store In bins that were filled and running o'er With all the things that a farm could keep. In barrel and bin and goodly heap. Hung to the rafters and hid away— Oh! the farm was a goodly sight that day! > And here and there were the Jersey stock, The sheep and horses—old Prince and Jock— The turkeys and geese and awkward calf. v And the goat that made the children laugh, A pair of mules that a friend had sent Out to the farm on experiment, Pigeons and fowls and a guinea-pig. Hogs that were small and dogs that were big. Chickens that were white and black and gray— Oh! the farm was a pleasant place to stay! Out back of the house tl.» orchard stood. Then came the brook and the chestnut wood, Tl,» sawmill where the children play, ”"’e fodder barn with its piies of hay. The walnut grove and the cranbetry bog. The woodchuck hole and the barking dog. The wintergreen and t'*e robber’s cave (Wherein who entered was counted brave). The skating pond with its fringe of bay— Oh! the farm was a pleasant sight that day! The big home-barn - was a place of joy For the romping girl and the climbing boy. With beams and mows and ladders to mount. Horses and oxen and sheep to count; Hunting of nests of sly old hens. Tunneling hay and fashioning dens. Helping the men to do up the chores. Shutting windows and locking the doors. Letting some work come in with the play— Oh! the farm was a Jolly place to stay! Oh! the pantry shelves were loaded down With cakes that were plump and rich and brown. With apple pies and pumpkin and mince. And jcdlies and jams and preserved quince, Cranberry sauce and puddings and rice. The dessert dishes that look so nice. Vegetables, breads and bonbons sweet. A great brown turkey and plates of meat. Sauces fixed in the daintiest way— Oh! ’twas a glorious sight that day! Oh. the farm was bright Thanksgiving morn. The sun shone clear on the hay and corn The guests came early with laugh and shout. And the boys and girls scattered about. Seeking the pets they had Known before. Climbing through window instead of door. Racing from barn to corn-crib or mill. Shouting and laughing with glee, until The dinner horn sounded. Oh. I say ‘Twas pleasant upon the farm that day! * I I Uncle Isaac’s Matchmaking < “Well, I declare!” said Aunt Nancy Winders, “I never did see a turkey fat ■p nicer’n that one! I tell you. Pa, It's too good for jest you an’ me to ■et down to. Hadn't we ought to in vite somebody to help eat Thanksgiv In* dinner?” Aunt Nancy paused in her task of stripping the feathers from the turkey in question, and beamed placidly upon Uncle Isaac through her gold-bowed “specs.” Uncle Isaac Winters rubbed his hands together gleefully, and a genial smile overspread his face. “Jest like you, Nancy, to think about somebody sharin’ your blessin’s. To be sure, to be sure, have somebody in to help dis-,., pose of that feller. Who’ll you in vite?” “Well,” said Aunt Nancy, reflective ly. “I’ve a notion to ask Marieil/ Pea body, poor, lonesome old maid! 1 don’t khow as there’s a soul in the village that would enjoy a nice piece of breast meat an’ sage stuffin’ an’ Hubbard squash an’ mashed potaters an’ gravy an’ mince pie an’ pumpkin pie better’n she would. 1 do believe she lives pretty slim sometimes.” Aunt NaDcy sighed a motherly sigh, and looked thoughtfully at the big turkey lying across her lap. “ 'Pears to me Marietty done a foolish thing when she give Silas Plummer the mit ten the way she did years ago. I wish she was married an’ settled down in a home of her own. Silas would b<? a good provider an’ Marietty she’s a neat housekeeper—neat as wax—an’ seems to me they could be real happy together.” Uncle Isaac sat down on tfie edge of the wood box and looked at Aunt Nancy’s kind old face. “S’pose we try an’ make a match betwixt ’em,” he suggested. “It’s high time that old spat of their’n was cleared up. Let’s see—it’s as much as ten year, ain't it, since they quit speakin’ to each ©Cher? I say let’s ask ’em both here to dinner to-morrow an’ see how it’ll turn out.” Aunt Nancy stared at him in amaze ment. “Isaac Winters,” she said, “be you clean gone crazy? Why, the very Idee! A pretty Thanksgivin’ it would ke, wouldn’t it, with them two glar fcT at each other an’ never savin’ a prordr • My! mv! you don’t know- Ma lietty Peabody, I guess, or Silas Plum tier either, if you think you could facify ’em at this late day.” “Well,” said Uncle Isaac, meekly, fyou know best, Nancy! you always know best. I thought mebby it would work all right, but that’s all a fool man knows about sech things. Think I’d best hitch up an’ drive down to invite Marietty? Jest as soon if you want I should.” Aunt Nancy turned the big ..urkey over laboriously. “Why, yes, Pa,” she said, “you better go. Give Marietty my compliments an’ ask her to spend Thanksgivin’ with us. If she’s goin’ to meetin’ to-morrow she’ll Hke.y ride home with you in the cutter.” When Uncle Isaac returned, an hour later, he remarked: “Marietty seemed awful tickled about your in vite, Nancy, an’ she said she wa’n’t goin’ to meetin’—she hadn’t a new filing to wear—an’ she’d come over early an’ help fix things for dinner an’ then you an’ her could visit long er. she said.” "Well," said Aunt Nancy, “that's real good of Marietty. There’ll be quite a lot of work fixin’ the vege tables an’ such, an’ I guess she can help me quite a little. I’m real glad she’s cornin’, poor sonl!” The next morning when Uncle Isaac, in his Sunday clothes, came into the kitchen and lifted his chin high so Aunt Nancy could adjust his collar buttoif and necktie, the dear old lady said: “If I was you. Pa, l d look all over the meetin'-ho^se an' pick out the lonesomest-lookin’ per son there—anybody you think ain't invited nowhere to Thankspivin’ din i ncr—an’ ask ’em to come along home with you.” “Anybody.” asked Uncle Isaac. "Did you say anybody, Nancy?” Aunt Nancy started swiftly toward the oven door. “Land sakes! 1 be lieve that turkey’s boilin’ dry.” she said, as she opened the oven door with a clang and poured hot water into the sizzling roasting-pan. Her rosy face peered into the big, savory '.melling oven. “Yes,” she said, “ask anybody you think looks lonesome.” Uncle Isaac drove off to meeting with a merry jingling of sleigh bells. He chuckled to himself as he drove along. "I shouldn't wonder if Silas Plummer would be lookin’ kind of lonesome to-day,” be said. “Great guns! Who’d ever think I’d take to matchmakin’ at my time o’ life?” When the Thanksgiving sermon had been preached and the last hymn sung, the congregation mo\ed toward the doors. Silas Plummer buttoned his overcoat and prepared to go bis lor.ely way. But Uncie Isaac, unhitch ing the old white horse, called to him. “Hold on, Silas,” he said, “don’t you want to ride along with me? An’, say, by the way, Nancy said she’d like first-rate to have you eat Tlianks givin’ dinner with us.” Silas Plummer hesitated—and was lost. “Much obliged, Uncle Isaac,” he said: “you and Aunt Nancy are very kind, but I was calculatin’ on goin’ to the restaurant for my din ner.” “Restaurant nothin’!” cried Uncle Isaac, Jovially. “Come, pile in here an’ te’ll be goin’. Nancy’ll be jest tickled to death!” But privately Uncle Isaac wasn’t so sure of that. “Merciful Moses!” he thought, “raebby I’ve gone an’ put my foot in it. But we’ll wrait an’ see how it turns out. If Nancy scolds, I’ll tell her the poor fellow looked lonesome, an’ sure enough he did.” The cutter stopped at the side door with a jingle of hells. Aunt Nancy came to the window and looked out. “Of all things!” she said to herself, “what in the world possessed Pa to go an’ do that! My land! what shall I do? Here’s Marietty an’ there’s Silas, an’ they won’t speak—I know they won’t!” Marietta was in the kitchen (hop ping cabbage, and did not see the newcomer, who was ushered into the sitting room by Aunt Nancy, whose hospitable soul was filled with con flicting emotions. She resolved upon a desperate move. “Marietty,” she said when she returned to the kitch en. “I guess that cabbage is chopped fine enough now. Won’t vou jest step into the settin'-room an' put some wood in the stove.” Marietta stopped chopping cabbage and filled her arms with wood from the wood box. She looked very nice in her best black dress and lace trimmed apron. The warm kitchen had given a flush to her cheeks and the pink ribbon at her throat was very becoming. She went through the dining-room and into the sitting-room. Aunt Nan cy, listening intently in the kitchen, heard the sudden dropping of the armful of wood. ‘‘My sakes alive!” -he said, “whatever shall I do. They’ll both get mad an’ go home most like ly. Dear, dear, what did Pa go an’ ask him for?” In the sitting-room the wood lay on the rag carpet at Marietta’s feet. She stooped to pick it up, but Silas was already gathering the sticks to gether. In some awkward way their hands touched, and they looked at each other. ‘ Marietty.” he said, “can’t we over look the past? Can’t we be lriends again?” His earnest dark eyes were looking into hers with the old look. Marietta held out her hands, an 1 he caught them in his. The next mo ment his arm was around her and she was crying softly upon his shoulder. He was smiling at her in the old way which used to be so pleasant to her until that misunderstanding came between them. He took her hand and led her into the sunny kitchen where Aunt Nancy was about to take Uncle Isaac to task. The good old people started in as tonishment as Marietta and Silas en tered hand in hand. The lovers look ed ten years younger. “Aunt Nancy,” said Silas Plummer, you an’ Uncle Isaac have made a real Thanksgiving for me.” “An’ me too!” chimed in Marietta, with blushing cheeks. “Oh. Aunt Nancy, we've made it up an' we’re as good friends as ever!” She looked proudly up at the tall figure at her side. Love was in her eyes—love and pride. And in the lace of Silas Plummer was a look of happiness which had long been a stranger there. The dinner was a great success. The big turkey was roasted to a de licious brown, the cranberry sauce was rich crimson, the mashed pota toes white as snowdrifts, and the Hubbard squash a golden yellow. The mince pie was Aunt Nancy’s best, and the coffee was of her famous brewing. It was a glorious dinner, and Uncle Isaac said so after the guests were gone. “But land, Nancy! I believe them 1 two wouldn’t have known the differ ence if it had been plain salt pork an’ johnny-cake. My! my! to think what a good matchmaker I am. It’s just amazin’, ain’t it?” And Aunt Nancy smiled serenely and said it was. A Give-Away. Luschman—“My wife wanted to know all about what I had been doing when I got home last night. Klubman—“Why didn't you put her off?” Luschman—“I did, but my condi tion put her on.” DO MEN KNOW WOMENf To What Extent the Sexes Are Able to Understand One Another. Edward Eennett has some witty re jections in his "The Passing Hour” notes in the English Illustrated Maga zine. He says: "Solomon, the wisest of men,” de clared woman to be an enigma. He ippears to have studied the sex in batches and to have struck an aver age. He had scarcely time to study the individual. "But many an honest Darby who possessed a heart has un ’erstood more tnan one Joan. If it :s possible to lay down a general prin ciple in such a matter, I should say that where men have failed to under stand women it was owing to war.t ol heart, and that where women have not understood men it was due to want of intelligence.” As a matter of fact, it is only in rare moments of self-abasement and devotion to another that anybody cares to admit he or she is under stood. “ ‘You don’t understand me hne little bit’ is often the last despair ing cry of a woman’s injured pride ‘o the man who is revealing to her the fact that ne knows everything, even that this cry is a patent insin cerity.” The man who laments that a wom en cannot see how strong is his devo tion, that she perverts and twists al! his assurances into something quite foreign to their original meaning, will idmit some day that she understood iim only too well, that his was a na ture which required opposition to stir :t into activity, and what was mis taken in the business was that he himself was so easily comprehended When a man says that the motives of a certain woman are unintelli gible to him the explanation often is that she has wounded his pride by showing too plainly that she under 3tands him and acts accordingly. "In other words, her Intelligence prompts her to act differently from vhat is expected of the average woman in similar circumstances, and this exr.i bition of intelligence is labeled by the man as incomprehensible. It is his nasty pride which is at fault all the time. And this applies just as much in the case of a woman as in that of a man. Men and women have beer, deliberately throwing dust in one an other’s eyes for centuries, and the wonderful thing is that thfcy under stand each other so well.” BROUGHT JAY GOULD TO TIME. Woman Made Financier Pay for He* “Watermillions.” While Jay Gould was superintend ing the building of the old Rutland &, Washington railroad, between Rut land, Vt, and Eagle Bridge, N. Y., in the late summer of 1852, it became necessary to cross a large farm in the town of Castleton, belonging to Mrs. Ann Dineen, so a strip of her property was obtained. A fine patch of water melons on the place was too strong a temptation for the one hundred or more men in the construction gang, and in a day or two the patch was melonless. Mrs. Dineen complained to Gould, but he disclaimed any responsibility for the acts of*the workmen and re fused to recompense her for her loss. A day or two later Mr. Gould and one or two of his engineers were ob taining relief from the effects of the hot weather by taking a swim in the Castleton river, when suddenly Mrs. Dineed appeared on the bank. Gath ering up all the clothes of the bathers, the woman made a motion as though to throw’ them into the water and shouted: ‘Will yez pay me for thim water millions now, Mr. Gould?” The promoter's trousers contained a timepiece worth a large sum and oth er valuables which immersion would not have benefited, so he agreed to set tie for the stolen fruit if she would go to his office the next day. The promise was satisfactory, and Mrs. Dineen re treated in triumph. “English” in England. “Phonetic laziness” in the mattei of place names is notorious in the north of England, writes a correspond ent of the London Chronicle. Lanca shire has a curt way of dealing with troublesome names. “After all,’ writes a correspondent, “there is an excuse for saying ‘Oost’n’ instead of Ulverstone in these days of stress and hustle, and life is too short to say ‘Little Urswick’ when you can make yourself understood more easily by ‘Lilosik.’ In Cumberland I once asked the way to Aspatria. The native did not understand for some time, when it suddenly dawned upon him that I meant ‘Spethry.’ Difficulties of pro nunciation, however, present them selves to the Londoner much* nearer home than Cumberland. In Essex, for instance, I once asked a laborer if he could give me some rough idea as co how far St. Osyth was from any known outpost of civilization. He was a most intelligent fellow, for he scratched his head only four minutes when he exclaimed: ‘Oh, you mean Toosy!’ I supposed I did.”—New York Tribune. Aunty Not in Leading Role. Denman Thompson is beloved by the young members of his company, especially the little tots that figure in the scenes of “The Old Homestead.” During a recent New York engage ment he wanted to compliment a little fairy en her work and said: “You’ve done so well I’d like to give you a big kiss.” “Oh, Mister Thompson.” answered the fairy, horrified, “you mustn’t, really. Aunty doesn’t believe in kiss ing.” “Never mind, dear,” replied Mr. Thompson, “I’m not kissing aunty.” And the little fairy got the smack. —New York Times. Telegraph Across Sahara. The French government has decided to erect an electric telegraph line across the Great Sahara, from South Algeria to the west coast. It is to be laid from In-Salah, via Tidekalt and Tageneut, to Timbuctoo, a distance of about 620 miles. The. work is to be completed in about twelve months.— London Engineer. NEWS IN NEBRASKA THE STATE AT LARGE, The repiklican majority in the leg islature. it is said, will be 110. Mrs. B. C. Marshall, a prominent woman of Arlington, died last week. Theodore Johnson, a 19-year-old boy of Lincoln, i3 under arrest for forgery. The Northwestern running through northern Nebraska, will extend its line to Casper, Wyoming. Plans are being perfected for an im mense grain elevator at Omaha. Its capacity will be 100,000 bushels. Peter Kruger Nelson, a well known resident of Blair township, fell into a ditch near the town hall and suffered a compound fracture of the knee. The ditch was seven feet deep and the in jury is serious. Webster Sutherland, who was buried in Schuyler last week, was killed in Oklahoma. In a difficulty that he was trying to pacify he was shot, whether accidentally or other wise is rot known. L. D. Stillman, the fork county farmers’ institute lecturer, has con cluded his work at St. Louis World’s lair, where he had charge of the Ne braska dairy exhibit, which was in spected and highly complimented. The state dental board met and is sued certificates to the following: Joseph H. Moreau, Gage county; C. G. Manlove, Douglas county; Joseph W. Beiser, Cass county; Shelby A. Seal, Htuchison county, Kansas; W. J. Gal braith, Suffolk county, Virginia; J. E. Hawthorne. Dawson county; J. E. Buckiey, Douglas; J. A. Mamphrey, Fillmore county. A merry fight has been waged in Holt county for sometime on a prop osition to divide Holt county on a line directly in the center, running north ar.d south, and to name the west half Meadow county, and then to cut off twenty-four mills square in the south east corner, to be named Elkhorn county. The voters at the recent elec tion decided against the proposition. Frank Todd, one of the men con fined in the county jail at Nebraska City, on a charge of attempting to rob the bank at Palmyra, made an unsuc cessful attempt to escape. He has been confined in the steel cell and broke a heavy chair that was in his cel! and with the pieces managed to , break open a small door in the main i cell door. When discovered he was j working on the cell door lock. Suit for damages amounting to I $5,000 hes been filed against the city of Lincoln by Margaret E. Stewart. Last September she fell over some skids, which were obstructing the sidewalk near Nineteenth and O streets, one night and broke her arm at the elbow. She claims that the skids were placed there by the con sent of the city of I incoln and were negligently allowed to remain. The Burlington railroad is still op posed to the workings of the new revenue law as interpreted by the taxing authorite3 of York county. Tax Commissioner Pollard of the Burling ton tendered a payment of the road's taxes to the treasurer of York coun ty, a sum that he thought w-as about right, but which did cot amount to what had been assessed against the road. The treasurer refused to ac cept the tender and it is supposed a suit will be started. The Burlington & Missouri railroad, by its representative, called upon the county treasurer of Butler county for the purpose of tendering to him the amount of its taxes less $2,581.57, which the railroad company refuses to pay on account of alleged excessive valuation of its property in that coun ty. The company made a tender of the money to the treasurer of the amount it was willing to pay, with the assurance that if this amount is not accepted the matter will be taken to the supreme court. i At a business meeting of the mem bers of the Teeumseh Baptist church a call to the pastorate was extended to Rev. F. M. Studevant of Ashland, Neb. It is believed he will accept. The ; church has been without a pastor for several weeks. A rate of $15 has been established by the Burlington from Missouri river points to Denver for the Epworth League convention on July 19. A rate of $10.75 has been made for the G. A. R. convention which occurs at the same place in September. Some time since the land owners along the Nemaha river in Otoe coun ty filed a petition with the county commissioners, asking that they create a drainage ditch along that stream so as to prevent its overflow’ on their lands every year. Shortly afterwrard a protest wras filed against granting the prayer of the petitioners. The matter was taken up by the com missioners and they decided that they would not grant the request. The peti tioners threatened to go into court and mandamus the board and compel it to create the district and issue bonds for the work. The postoffice at Benson, Douglas county, was looted a few days ago of $75. The money was taken during the temporary absence of the postmaster, and a young man who had been fre quently seen about the establishment is supposed to be the guilty party. The rate into Omaha from all points of Nebraska for the state teachers’ association has been fixed by the Bur lington at on fare plus 50 cents and will be effective December 26 to 28. vor points outside the 100-mile limit the tickets will be good until January 2, 1905. A carrier pigeon belonging to Vjjfflt & Co., of Fremont, which was •purchased by them from a gentleman in Blair, escaped from his coop and wont back to Blair. A Red Cloud dispatch says: Ex Oovernor Garber pleased republicans, democrats and populists by coming to *he polls ard voting. Of course, It Is assumed that the old governor voted ♦he republican ticket straight, but oopulists and democrats alike with re i nuhlicans were glad to greet the old governor as a fellow citizen and fel low voter again FREE RIDE FOR SAVING A TRAIN Trainmen Also Contribute Small Sum , in Cash to Tramp Hero. HASTINGS—Charitably disposed i persons in Hastings raised a small col lection for a man who, according to history, had saved the fs~t Chicago Denver passenger train on the Burl ington from a bad wreck and had been rewarded by the railroad com pany with a free ride for a few miles. Tho man was in destitute circum stances and was on his way from Sut ton to Grand Island, where he hoped to enter a charitable institution. As he was wralking along the Burlington tracks two miles east of Saronville he saw a broken rail. The fast Chi eago-Denver passenger was overdue I and the man conjectured that shoud | the train run over the broken rail a wreck would be probable. He re traced his steps eastward and flagged and halted the train a few rods from the defective rail. Section men were sent for, who repaired the breach and the train proceeded. He was taken aboard and brought to this city and provided with transportation to Grand Island. He showed the transporta tion to many people here in confirma tion of his story and was loud In pro testing that a collection taken aboard tbe train bad amounted to only $1.50 J given by the trainmen. Some be lieved his tale and another collection was taken here which netted him $15.40 and sent him on his way re jolcing. INDIAN LAND TROUBLE. ! Various Rulings Made and Law Suit Likely. HUMBOLDT—Once more the little tract of Indian land near Preston has sprung into prominence and a second effort is to be made to land it. This is the piece upon which Dr. Wells re cently filed homestead papers, claim ing that it had never been taken up and was open for settlement. Later it will be remembered an Indian agent came up from Kansas and informed the parties interested that the land belonged to the Indians and was not to be considered a part of the reser vation thrown open to homesteaders many years ago. As the strip con tained about twenty acres, the market value of which was nearly $100 ptr acre, the doctor released his claim reluctantly and now' it is understood other parties have information direct from the department of the interior to the effect that the ruling 'of the Indian agent is wrong, that the land belongs to the government and is open to homestead entry, although w’hy It has been overlooked all these years remains something of a mystery. James Powell, another resident of Falls City, at once filed, on the piece and announces his intention of moving upon it and holdin- it despite the claims of the agent. Polk County Farm Sells Well. OSCEOLA—Colonel Henry C. Hughes, who came into this county quite a number of years ago and set tled down in the sand hills of Platte valley and whose land had been as sessed at about $2.50 an acre before the new revenue law went into opera tion, has just sold his quarter-section and received for it the nice little sum of $10,000. Capture Alleged Forger. BEATRICE—Peter Kuhn, wanted here on a charge of forgery, was ar rested at Kansas City. Sheriff Trude left for that place after his man. Kuhn came to Beatrice recently from Den ver and after passing a number of forged checks on the business men of Beatrice, he disappeared. The offi cers have been hot on his trail ever since his departure. More Land for Homesteaders. NORTH PLATTE—All the land In the tract which was withdrawn from entry within the jurisdiction of the North Platte United States land of fice. except a narrow strip along ffie North Platte river, has been thrown men to entry under the Kinkaid act t rovlding for one section homesters. r':ie date fixed for this land to be ■brown open is Feb. 14, 1905. This t act was originally withdrawn under 'he clause in the Kinkaid act which • rovides for the withdrawal from en try of lands which are irrigable. Fremont Cadets Are Recognized. FREMONT—The school board re cognized the newly organized cadet corps by allowing a credit for two years’ service in the company. Inas much as a previous board practically turned them down this action pleases the boys. The question of deportment as affecting the general standing of the scholars was discussed at some length and Superintendent Gardner was instructed to see that credits for scholarship standing were not reduced by bad deportment. Aoole Trees in Full Bloom. NEBRASKA CITY—The apple trees in a number of orchards near this city are in full bloom. Most of the trees here yielded a large crop of apples this season. Lilac bushes are leaf ing out for the second time this year. Aria Cattle Company. LINCOLN—The articles of incorpo ration of the Aria Cattle company of Box Butte county have been amended. By tile amendment the capital stock of the company is increased to $115, 000. Recovers Stolen Horse. NEBRASKA CITY—Sheriff Charles E.

NEW YORK—Judge Parker came to this city from Esopus Thursday. He is quoted as saying to friends: “Of course I am going to return to the law business. I have several engage ments under consideration, but I have made no decision yet. It may be that I shall first take a holiday trip; not for myself, for I do not feel the need of any, but for the benefit of Mrs. Parker.” On his arrival Judge Parker went to the Manhattan club for a chat with friends.
