THE VACANT CHAIR.
T seemed to Aunt
Huldah Simmons
that the pumpkin
hud nevorlooked so
- pale and waxy , the
apples so weaxoned ,
even the turkey itself -
" self so lifelessly
dismal , as on that
especial Thanksgiv
ing morning.
"It's going to be
a failure ! " she said
snappishly. "For
twenty years the cheeriest , the brightest ,
the happiest celebration under this roof
-over was and now ! "
Aunt Huldah plunged her arms < o the
lbows into the Hour barrel , and choked
with the dust she raised , and was glad of
an excuse to smother a kind of a sob.
.lust then the grocerynuui from town
drove np , brought in his basket of "extrys
find fixin's , " and for a moment stopped to
Kioam his snow-crusted shoes at the blaz-
i n s fireplace.
"Well , muni ! well , mum ! " he said briskly -
ly , "on hand , as I see ? Why. it's getting
to bo a milestone in my life , mum ! "
"What is ? " demanded Aunt Huldah
-tartly. Poor soul , she did not feel over-
-eoinpanionablo.
'Hjoming bore at this hour , on this day.
"Think of it , Mis ? Simmons ! For twenty
year , every Thanksgiving day. I've deliv
ered the ordered basket of raisins , and
nil-rants , and mace , and citron , and nuts ,
and every Thank-.giving morning for
twenty year your blessed face has smiled

I'd go home , shut up shop , and begin to

"You'll miss , next time ! " almost gruni-
Med , Aunt Huldah.
"Don" ! toll. Miss Simmons oh , shorcly
not. ! " and the grocer looked anxious.
"Yos. 'twill ! " affirmed Huldah , half
i-ryhig , half mad.
"And what's the matter , mum ? "
"The charm is gone , the circle is brok-
! . anddon't pester me , man ! I'm that

FIRST THANKSGIVING.
[ ndiari Chiefs \Ver Hospitably Kn-
tertr > ; - " ' ' ' * y Pilgrims.
VEH since the year
following tbe land
ing of the Pilgrims
we have been ob
serving Thanksgiv
ing day. The first
i thanksgiving was
appointed by ( Joy.
Bradford at Ply
mouth , * 'Jas ? . , in
1021 , in 1,13er that
the colonists in a
more special way
could rejoice together at having all things
in good and plenty , writes Clifford How
ard in the Ladies' Home Journal. In pre
paration for the feast "gunners were sent
into the woods for wild turkeys , which
abounded there in great numbers ; kitch
ens were made ready for preparing the
feast especially the large one in Dame
Brewster's house , which was under the
immediate direction and charge of Pris-
cilla Molines , sh * > who afterward became
the wife of John Alden while a messen
ger was dispatched to invite Massasoit ,
the chief of the friendly tribe , to attend
the celebration.
"Early on the morning of the appointed
Thursday about the first of November
Massasoit aud ninety of his warriors ar
rived on the outskirts of the village , and
with wild yells announced their readiness
1o enjoy the hospitality of their white
brethren. The little settlement , which
now consisted of seven dwellings and four
public buildings , was soon astir with men ,
women and children , who gave the Indians
a hearly welcome as they filed into tlie
large square in front of the Governor's
house. Soon the roll of a drum announc
ed the hour of prayer , for no day was be
gun without this religious service. Then
followed a holiday of feasting ami recrea
tion , which continued not only during that
day but during the two succeeding days.
The usual routine of duties was suspend
ed ; the children romped about in merry
play ; the young men indulged in athletic
sports and games in friendly rivalry with
the Indians ; the little American army of
twenty men , under the leadership of Miles
Standish. went through its drill and man
ual of arms , to the great delight and as
tonishment of the natives , while the wom
en busied themselves in. the careful pre
paration of the excellent meals , which
were eaten in the open air.

"Why. my dear , "
replied he , "yoi

"I have you , have I ? " replied Mrs. BHm
mer. "And that is something for me to b <
thankful for. is it ? Well , not that I kuov

greatest mistake of my life in marrying

It was all right to marry me , so far as
you were concerned. It was quite a feath
er in your cap to marry one of the Joneses
girls , but I think I must have been clear
out of ir/ mind when I said yes , and 1
think all my folks must have been pluml
crazy over to think of letting me marrj
you. I had an idea that I loved you , bul
I see now that I didn't know what an idea
was , and if I had it to do over again I'd
marry any man in the whole wide world
before I'd come to you , Frederick Blim
mer. And you needn't try to interrupt me ,
as you always do when I have a word to
say , for I'll not listen to you. It isn't as
- though I had no chance to marry any oth
er man. either , that I took you. I could
have married Joe Simpson , as line a man
as ever walked on two legs , and he treats
his present wife like as if she was an
angel from heaven , and she not Rs first
choice , either. Then , Jack Dukes i\as
fairly pining away for me , but I didn't
have sense enough to marry him , although
I knew he was only waiting for a little
encouragement , but I was that indepen
dent I never would encourage a man the
least bit. Besides those two t'liere was
Frank Palmer , who fairly worshiped the
ground I walked on , but I wouldn't have
anything to do with him because his hair
was red , but it's a mighty One-looking
man bo's got to be , and they do say his
wife doesn't want for a. thing , and she's as
proud of him as if he was a king , and
Frederick Blimmer. w-hat are you putting
on your overcoat for ? Didn't you say
that you had a holiday to-day , and that
we would spend a happy Thanksgiving
day together , like we did when we were
lirst married ? Oh , well , go out if you
want to , but if you are not homo by 1
o'clock sharp not a bit of Thanksgiving
dinner do you get. "

A THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
Here Is a Stuffing from a Famous
Cliof 9 Notebook.
Thorp is a chef in one of the large hotels
of Now York who is famous for his roast
turkey. Turkey under his hands conies
out not only a beautiful brown , but of a
delicious llavor quite different from any
other turkey that over was seen. The
turkey meat is positively rich , and even
the white meat that is generally dry has
a moist , spicy taste.
This is his recipe for roast turkey , which
he- kindly consented to give the household
department :
Clean the furkey with as little handling
as possible and rinse with water in which
a little baking soda has been dissolved.
Now break up about half a pint of bread
crumbs and into the crumbs chop two links
of pork sausage. Stuff the turkey with
this mixture and just before putting into
the oven bind salt pork on the breast of
the turkey. Remove the pork just before
the turkey is taken from the oven.
When the meat is carved its flavor will
be found very superior. This is particu
larly to be recommended for the Thanks
giving turkey , which , with so many other
dainties rivaling it , must be very appotiz *
ing to be enjoyed.

What the rotation of crops should '

of many failures. A farmer will fn
that plowing under clover or peas i

him a soil on which he raises a fine en

with this result he must needs put tl

anything to it. The result is that whi

its fertility considerable more must I

Use and Coat of Land Plaster.
Land plaster is sold very cheaply in
rock suitable for
places where the
grinding it from is abundant. It is
there , too , that it appears to do most
good , probably in part because the
gypsum rock has always enough holes
through it to make good drainage. Its
best effect is always found on light and
dry soils , for one of the properties of
poster is to attract moisture , which
such soil usually needs. Plaster has
been sold at the mills as low as $2 per
ton in winter when most of the rock
grinding Is done. Ten or fifteen miles
away and in summer , when farmers
wanted to use it on crops , the price
would jump up to $4.50 and even $3 per
ton. So those who used much plaster
generally went with sleighs during a
rim of good sleighing , when they would
sometimes draw two tons or more on
a. load. A half bushel of plaster weighs
pretty near 100 pounds , so that a good
deal can be put in an ordinary sleigii
box.
Ripe Tomatoes for Christmas.
Before frost comes pick all sound
green fruit from the vines , and careful
ly wrap each one in a Gx9-inch sheet of
white wax paper , taking care not to
twist as in packing oranges. Spread
out in a single layer on trays or in
shallow boxes , and place in a partial
light in a cellar. To hasten ripening
they may occasionally be exposed to
the sun half an hour at a time. Once
a week examine and pick out the rod
ones and those that may decay. This
may be done easily , as the transpar
ency of the paper does not necessitate
unwrapping. Thus one may have a
constant supplj * of plump , palatable
and beautiful tomatoes till Christinas ,
with tritling expense or trouble. Amer
ican Agriculturist.
Pruning.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the proper time to prune an orchard. ,
but n good time is when the knife is-
sharp. Visit the orchard often and cut
off all water sprouts and superfluous
limbs that interfere with their neigh-
bors. Ilead the trees low. It will be ?
more convenient to gather the fruit and
storms vire not so hard on a low tree as
N. high one.

When a farmer's slock seems to be

Coard's Dairyman.
Very many people are fond of a good
arden , but think they can not keep
liickens and have a garden , too. The
lalne farmer tells of a poultryman who
; noted for success in producing vege-
ibles. He grows twice as much
i-re as formerly. Ho keeps 100 fowls ,
iid has two lots of ground , one being-"Y
iven up to fowls , while the other is *
sed for garden , the lots being about
ae and a quarter acres each. The next
3ar he turns the fowls on the garden
at and uses for a garden the plat then
icated by the fowls. By thus giving
I ) the garden plat to poultry every
ternate year he keeps the soil verv
rtile.
Cream left to itself will spontaneous-
become sour ; this is the result of the-
owth of lactic acid bacteria , which

ocess convert it into a lactic acid.
ther forms of bacteria are always

feet in the ripening process , while
hers , if allowed to develop , product *
idesirable and often obnoxious fla-

vild" germs is called "spontaneous"
peniug , and is often attended with un-

Carbolic salve should always be kept
ady for use at the cow luirn. Bruits

ent for such cases. This may be
pur-

ire it for himself by simply takin-
