WHY THEY LAUGHED. ESSIB opened her eyes first on ‘Yhanksgiving morn and pulled her sis- ter Sophy’s sleeve to waken her. “Sophy,” she whispered, “‘is it so o>" very wrong not to “-—— feel thankful on 64. a Thanksgiving Day?” ‘I suppose so,” said Sophy. : “Well, I ean’t be,” said Bessie, “cause papa and mamma are away, and they've been away so long, and I don’t know when they'll come back. And the ceean is so wide, and some- times there are storms, and if they should get drowned 1 could never be thankful again.” “I couldn’t either,” said Sophy. “Come, eome, don’t you mean to get ap at all this morning?” asked a cheery voice. Aunt Rosy had come in- to the room and was looking over the headboard. “Don’t you know it is Thanksgiving Day?” “Yes,” said Bessie, “but we’re not thankful, ‘cause papa and mamma are away.” “My! my! But you'll be glad when they come back,” said Aunt Rosy. “But get up now and have your bath and your breakfast, and then I'll tell you something nice—a surprise.” “I wonder what Aunt is going to do?” Sophy whispered. “Let us make aod taffy, maybe,” said Bessie. “That is fun, or maybe she has new dresses for our dolls.” “I don’t care for taffy, or dolls or anything,” said Sophy. “I’m home- sick. Well, of course I am at home, but it isnt home without mamma and papa.” They went down stairs with long faces, and neither of the children had much appetite for their nice milk-toast and baked apples. e “Well, now, how solemn you look!” said Aunt Rosy. “Thanksgiving Day, when you ought to be thinking of all your blessings; and you don’t even ask me what the surprise is. We're going to grandma’s to spend the day; there, now.” “But papa and mamma won't be there,” said Bessie. “And we can’t be happy even there,” said Sophy, sobbing. Really, it was dreadful for Aunt Rosy to laugh at them just then, but she did. “T don’t believe she loves us one bit,” said Sophy, in a whisper. “I don’t, either; she’s dreadful,” said Bessie. And all through the journey to grandpa’s house not a smile did they give. And when the train reached grandpa’s place, and Uncle Jeff came in the wagon to meet them, and said, “WELL, NOW, DARLINGS.” “Hullo, chickens! How are you?” they both answered together: “We know it’s wicked, but we can’t help it. Though it is Thanksgiving Day we can’t be thankful, for we don’t know that we'll ever see papa and mamma again.” Then Aunt Rosy looked at Uncle Jeff, and both laughed ha! ha! ha! and ho! ho! ho! And then those grownups laughed again in that cruel way. “Nasty things,” whispered Bessie. “I think so, too,” whispered Sophy. But here they were at last at grand- pa’s house, and out came grandpa and grandme and Aunt Jennie and Aunt Eliza and Uncle William, Aunt Eliza’s husband, and their boy. “Well, now, darlings,” cried grandma, | holding out her arms, “how do you do?” “They are not a bit thankful, ma,” said Aunt Rosy. ‘They won’t even smile.” “Because away,” said Uncle Jeff. © all about the turkey and pie, and the candy and magic-lantern in the even- ing, but they don’t chirk up a bit.” “No, indeed,” said Bessie, “we don’t mean to. It’s.so dreadful for papa and mamma to be away Thanksgiving Day.” “So it is, darling,” said grandma. But. she did not look a bit solemn, and grandpa winked at Uncle William, and Aunt Jennie pinched Aunt Eliza, and black Lueinda, the cook, who had come out to say “Howdy,” showed all her white teeth, and laughed “ki, yi, yi,” and Uncte Jeff roared “ha, ha, ha,” papa and mamma are and all the aunis laughed “tee, tee, hee,” and grandpa gave a great “ho, ho, ho,” and the poor children felt as if their hearts would break to be laughed at like that. “None of them love us,” they whis- pered to each other. “And we won't love any of them.” Oh, what a dreadful thing to feel and say on Thanksgiving Day! And then, all of a sudden, some one back in the hall began to laugh also. “Company laughing at us, too,” sob- bed Bessie. “We want to go home.” Then the unseen person cried out: “Don’t tease them any more!” and some one came running and took them both in her arms. Some one, indeed! It was their own mamma, and behind her came their papa; and it was so won- derful they could not believe it. “My darlings, no one was laughing at you,” said mamma. “Every one knew we were here but you. I asked them not to tell you in order to give you a happy surprise; and when you said you did not know when you would see us, how could they help laughing when they knew you would eat dinner with us at grandpa’s house?” “Then they did love us all the time?” said Bessie. “That was the reason they laughed,” said Sophy, “because it was going to be our very thankfulest Thanksgiving af- ter all!” And then every one laughed again, and Bessie and Sophy laughed with them this time. ; A Thanksgiving Proclamation, Know all men by these presents that We turkeys do protest Against an annual outrage which Brings sorrow to the nest. We think it most becoming for A nation to give thanks, But we object in firm tones when It cuts into our ranks.

Up to the present year the great pro- vince of Siberia, covering an area con- siderably larger than all Europe, has been without organized courts, the whole country having been subject to the arbitrary administration of officials “What cruel creatures!” said Bessie to Sophy. “I don’t love them-a bit. But grandpa and grandma won’t laugh at “Oh,” said Uncle Jeff, “I bet you'll be jolly and thankful this evening.” “Indeed, we shan’t,” said Bessie, “We won't have papa and mamma.” | appointed by the tsar. On the first of August a modern and uniform system of public justice was instituted, and law courts were opened in each of the “I told them | THANKSGIVING AS AN ART. 4m Accomplishment in Which Our Mothers Excelled the Girls of Today. ja an article entitled “An Old-Time Accomplishment,” in the Woman's Home Companion, Edward L. Peil says:. “The girl who has cultivated the spirit of thankfulness does not gush over at the gift of a daisy, and snap an indifferent ‘Thanks!’ at the man who, has lost a day from the office to gratify her little whim. Of course, | those mothers of ours had their whims, | and exercised the priceless privileges of thoughtlessness and snapping now and then, as girls, and other than girls, have always done; but I think it can- not be denied that the girl of a gener- | ation ago had a conscience on the subject of debts of gratitude such as few have had since her day. “I have said that I am afraid that with maay of us today it is a lost art. | I am sure that it is not given that | prominence which it once had, and that it iy not cultivated with the enthusiasm with which it once was. Girls are taught what etiquette says about it, but etiquette deals only from the lips out+ ward, and the result is that even our language tells the story of the deca- dence of thanksgiving. A traveler from Mars might hear our ‘Thanks!’ | a million times and never suspect that it was meant as an acknowledgment | of a favor. I am sure that up to, say | a dozen years ago, in those parts of | our country where gallantry has held out longest, one could not give up a seat in a car without being sure of a full return in an acknowledgment that meant to acknowledge something; and that today the average man is utterly the old sweet sound. does not justify nor account for but I am not engaged in the hopeless task of restoring men to the old paths, but in the hopeful one of pointing out a neglected talent which the most charming of girls may cultivate with good results. I am not grumbling. I do not mean to say that the girl of the period is one whit behind the girl of the past. I do not believe in the decadence of women. I believe that the girl of today is equal to the girl her mother used to be; but I do not believe that it is enough to say of our girls that they are equal to the girls of the past, any more than it is enough to say of a flower that has had the best attention of the best florists for a generation, that it is as beautiful today as it was thirty years ago. * * * If we have done wisely, the girl of today ought to have not only something which her mother lacked, but she ought to have all her mother’s graces as well. But it is a serious question whether, in pressing her development, we have not cultivated some qualities at the expense of others, just as in pressing the development of a certain flower we have increased its size and beauty at the expense of its fragrance.” A Nice Prospect.
