DIED giv:ng thanks.
Father Fall From Chair While Re
counting Family's Blessings.
George Douglas Keen, nu account
ant employed hy the Hush Terminal
company, sat dowu to his Thanksgiv
ing dinner at his home, i!X) Twenty
eighth street, Brooklyn, at 4 o'clock last
Thanksgiving day. Hefore him was a
large turkey, and seated about the ta
ble were his wife, Anna, and his three
children Douglas, eight years old; Al
va, five, and Gordon, three.
Great preparations had been made
for the dinner, and .Mr. Keen felt sat
isfied with the outlook across the ta
ble. It was a holiday. The wind out
side was cold, and the warmth Inside
was all the more genial.
"Well, I guess we have a little some
thing to be thankful for, Mrs. Keen,"
said the head of the house.
He helped his wife, his children and
then himself. Then he sat down and
put a piece of turkey in his mouth.
"Yes." he went on, "I guess, taking
everything altogether, we have"
Then he fell out of his chair dead.
The doctor said It was heart disease.
Italy's Thanksgiving Day.
A vintage festival Is about the near
est thing the people of Italy have to a
Thanksgiving day, but the two things
are the same In spirit If very different
In detail. At these festivals a primi
tive interchange of labor takes place.
Everybody helps everybody. Xo wage
Is given. This man's vines facing full
south are forward, another man's
vines are backward. I'rom all the hill
sides around the peasants flock to each
vineyard as needed. Occasionally an
Italian will do a lot of work In a day.
But he will not hurry. He is making
love meanwhile to the girl who works
with him.
A Polar Thanksgiving.
Robert E. Teary, U. S. X., contem
plating the coining Joys of Thanksgiv
ing "fixings," was moved to tell of the
way he spent the same day two years
ago.
"We were then within less than .WO
miles of the pole, and of course the
usual arctic weather prevailed," he
gald. "Xo, we had no turkey for our
dinner that day, but we made out very
well with n roast of musk ox ami some
canned plum pudding, which we took
along on the Roosevelt for just such
occasions. That comprised the total
of our menu."
Five Years Without Thanksgiving.
During the Revolution Thanksgiving
day was held by most of the states
every year, but after a general thanks
giving' for peace In 1784 five years
elapsed before President Washington
proclaimed a day of thanksgiving for
the adoption of the constitution.

Thanksgiving on the Continent.
Germany and Russia adopt the rath
er sensible plan of appointing Thanks
giving days when they have some spe
cial reason for so doing, though Itus
Hia hasn't had much to be thankful
for In late years. In Hungary Thanks
giving days or something analogous to
them used to be common, but have
now passed away, except on rare oc
casions of national rejoicing. Then a
horse race of a particularly exciting de
scription takes the place that football
occupies In the American observance
of the real thing In the way of Thanks
giving celebrations.
Doubles the Number of Eggs.
To be successful with poultry re
ouires a great deal more careful atten
tion than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. Tht
fowls should have plenty of exercise,
but, more than that, the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de
mands and what, if allowed free range
they could procure for themselves
"Page's Perfected Poultry Food" con
talus these ingredients in a carefullj
compounded ration. A. A. Olmsted ol
South Newbury, Vt, has the following
to say In regard to this food: "Wi
have been for some time using yout
'Perfected Poultry Food' with suet
good results that we thought It a prop
er thing to tell you. It keeps our hens
well and In good laying condition and
we think, doubles the number of eggs
Being in good condition, lice do not
trouble." :
Any one sending bis address on a
postal card to C. S. Tage, Hyde Park,
Vt, and mentioning this paper, will re
ceive by mall, free, postpaid, a sample

Found Better Place.
Once when I was going out to Tlsit
some friends. I told George, my negro
servant, to lock the house and put
the key under a certain stone near the
stepR. He agreed to do so. It was
late at night when I returned. I went
to the stone under which the key was
supposed to have been hidden. It was
gone. I hunted around for about fif
teen minutes, but still no key. i'inul
ly 1 went to George's house he roomed
outside and rappel vigorously upon
the door. A black head which I
had no difficulty In recognizing as
George's popped out of an upstairs
window.
"Where did you put that key, you
black rascal?" 1 roared. 1
"Oh, niassa." answered George, "I
found a lictter place for It!" Mark

"Ah, Robert," said the gentleman
sadly, "I'm afraid you've been drink

A Hitch In the Programme.
Senator Knox tells this story;
A delegation from Kansas visited
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
The president met them with coat and
collar off, mopping his brow.
"Ah, gentlemen," he said. "dee-Ilght-ed
to see you dee-lighted! But I'm
very busy putting in my hay just now.
Come down to the barn with me, and
we'll talk things over while I work."
Down to the barn hustled president
and delegation.
Mr. Roosevelt seized a pitchfork and
but where was the hay?
"John!" shouted the president. "John!
Where's all the hay?"
"Sorry, sir," came John's voice from
the loft, "but I ain't had time to throw
it back since you threw It up 'for
yesterday's delegation." Everybody's.
Provincialism Illustrated.
"Y'ou people out In Missouri," said a
New York man to Congressman Champ
Clark, "are all right, but you are too
provincial."
"Provincial?" snorted Clark. "Pro
vincial? Why, let me tell you, sir,
the shoe Is on the other foot Nobody
In New York knows anything. about
Missouri, but everybody iu Missouri
knows all about New York."

"I have a friend, a playwright His
wife is good and beautiful. Last New

" 'Darling, I cannot begin the new
year better than by confessing my tur
pitude to you. Know, then, that ours
was a bigamous and Illegal marriage.
My real wife, with her three children.
Is living In Denver.'
"The lady ran distractedly from the
room.
" 'Calm yourself,' the playwright
shouted as be put down his knife and
fork and hurried after her. 'That isn't
really true. It Is only a speech that the

Hard to Be Just to a Rival.
John B. McDonald, builder of New

t a direct opinion about another con

"It Is rather too much to ask of hu

High Point's Experier.c
The city of High Point? X. ( .. In
stalled an electric light plant at. a st
f $20,000. Ten years Inter th'e tre-ef-fttlng
plant was sold.' A former mem
ber of fhe electric light committee of

was done because a private company
offered to sell current at less than the
operating cost of the city's plant. He
further states that if the city had sold
Its distributing system it would be far
better off financially than it is.
