Old John Carey and his son stood in front of the comfort able farmhouse gazing ont upon a rolling landscape in the golden 3? lisht of the In dian summer. 'Ttell y', GeorgG, it's the best farm iu tun tuuu i v , icwiu&cu uio wcaiuer- beaten farmer. "Over three hundred acres, and y' might say all but about fifty under the best cultivation. An' even the bluff over there, with its rocks and scrubs, will be worth 'a for ft'Jine when I get that "mine down. An' Ot's all yours if y' only do as I say." "But, father " 4-I tell y' there ain't no buts about it. 'What -you want is a good, healthy, : country girl for a wife. I can't see what you admire in that school teacher, anyhow. Let her marry one of her kiud, a lawyer or doctor, or somethin." "But, father, she is a country girl, and strong and healthy, and you know mother says she is just the kind to make a good housekeeper." "Don't teH tae," snarled the old man, "She's proud as Lucifer, an '11 !ant to live in style when she mar ries, isow, I've given you an eddica- t iori, ana that s enough in one family. You don't want to hitch to a wife , smarter than you are yourself. Now, lock at me.

I don't want you to marry a wife who'll despise me an teach y' to go back on my advice. You 'do as I say an' the farm's yours. But marry that girl an' you'll never get a cent." George Carey knew his father well find was aware that to dispute with him only rendered him more pbaiin fite. Nevertheless, he was deeply " in love with pretty Nellie Thorne, the teacher of music and painting at the .academy in the' neighboring village, and he resolved to put his fate to the test. ''Father," he replied, with a quiver of feoling in his tone? "I owe- you much "and never thought to dispute you. But you have given me an education and my tastes are different from yours. You have no right to dic tate my choice of a wife, and I propose to marry the woman I love witn or without your consent." destined that their fears should com true. The workmen were engaged in tamping a new blast while the two men were intently examining the min era! vein, when a sudden shock as of an earthquake occurred. The blast had prematurely exploded, and had been followed by a considerable fall of dirt and debris into tha min a. fortunately several of the workmen were outside of the mine and other help was hastily summoned, and the injured were as speedily as possible rescued from their disagreeable posi tiou. . Two of the workmen were seri ously injured, while Eben Farley nimseu nad a broken leg and several severe contusions. As for John Carey, he ever blessed his fortune that he es caped with something like half a hun dred cuts and bruises, none of which was serious, though he was found in sensible under a wagonload of dirt and rock. The charge had fortunate ly been a small one, the workmen be ing too doubtful of their own skill to use heavy blasts, or the result might have been far more tragical. John Carey was an obstinate and self-opinionated man, as has been said, but like most men of his kind, he believed devoutedly in signs and warn ings. He was confined to his bed for several days,1 during whioh he had abundant time to reflect upon his quarrel with his son and the accident at the mine, j . "Alary," he said to his wife, as he sat in an easy, chair for the first time since the accident and gazed through the windows I over-his broad acres to where the abandoned mine could be plainly seen against the hillside, "to morrow is Thanksgiving, ain't it?" "Yes," responded the pious woman, "and I feel that we have especial cause for giving thanks this year." qne of industry, j PtiseflU'g real life was not all poetry.' There were four women, one servant, and a few maid to prepare and serve the three days' feast for the colonists and their Indi an guests. j ; New York celebrated her first Thanksgiving Day in a manner some what different. It may have been a difference in the race or in the times, for it was twenty-three years later, in 1644, that it is related that the Dutch citizens of New York killed nearly 600 Indians and then marched home and "cheerfully," ate their Thanksgiving Day dinners. i I We unfortunately do not know of what the ' dinner consisted that day, bufrit was probably .very similar to the bounteous fare of ordinary days, for Christmas and New Year's were the only great Dutch holidays. . 4 In New England, at one time, they kept the day before and the day after Thanksgiving as fast days. It was a sensible action, for hygienio reasons, if all their dishes were as elaborate as old recipes show some to have been.

A New Yorker's Thanksgiving Day dinner in 1897 may include anything and almost everything. The one familiar feature which still obtains is the turkey, which, seldom fails to form the piece de . resistance every where. Here is the menu of what claims to be a .simple, good, old-fashioned Thanksgiving Day menu, although some few concessions have been made to the times: Oyster soup. ; Bread sticks. Olives. r. Celery.

Pumpkin pie. Cider. Apples. Nuts. Baisins. Coffee. Cheese wafers. The wafers are the crisp, small, salted crackers, upon which a little good cheese is grated. They are well seasoned, cayenne pepper being used, and placed in the oven just before serving. They are then very hot and the cheese is thoroughly melted. The bright red and yellow apples, with chrysanthemums,' are the only decorations of the. table or the room. They give the appropriate fall tone. New York Times.
