ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. 2 "Lt.3-t : , t cma& 4 4 v 1 Uujt-" OLUA 3 0 1 OOD old Mr. Tim- mlna had Invited his ioei and daughter! and . brothera and sla ter and their fam- ) f V uies to take din- 1 f J ner with hlmselt ana vug u u Thanksgiving. They were very thankful. Good old Mrs. Timmlns had been up since 4 o'clock that morning roasting the turkey and devising the pies and getting things In readiness. The guests had arrived, and the hour or so that elapsed until dinner was spent by the older one! In talk ing of the weather. The weather Is a great topic of conversation. If It Is a nice day or it it Is not, it can be dfscuBaed. That, children,' Is where the weather has the bulge on people. If they -are nice people, we may talk about them In polite society. If they are not. It is different Remember that. The little Tim mlnses and the other children and grandchildren and nephews and nieces were mer rily whacking the hardwood floor with grandpa's . cane, and rubbing their shoeblack lng off against the upholstering of the chairs, and - tearing': the lace curtains, and oth erwise disporting themselves In the merry, merry manner of true Innocent youth when . it goes 'a visitlng., Grandpa Tim-' mins was observ ed to fidget un easily In his seat. but this had no effect upon the papas of the children. It was a relief to them to see someone else standing for the damage done. Finally ' Grandpa Timmlns said, sweetly: : "Here,- children,' bless - your little hearts, Is a box of matches. Take them and play with them, for the house is insured against fire, but not against you." Wasn't that a sassy, bump? How many little boys or-girls In the class would conduct themselves ai these children did when visiting T Of course, you say that sow, but your teacher dear will not make beta on you. v." Finally the dinner was announced, and good old 'Grandpa Timmlns took Ma place at the head of the table to carve the turkey. The turkey la a. noble; bird, chil dren. Be is worth about 40 cents a pound, dressed, but If you buy feathers, feet and all, the market man will let you have the bird for Z9M cents. If a turkey, with the feathers and feet on, weighs 10 pounds and ounces, when will the hash appear for the last time? Write the answer on your slates, Mature has ' so devlaed us that we "cannot eat feathers with any degree of comfort or satisfaction. 11 -we - could,. - we would ' probably feel down In the mouth L often er than we do. s -That - is right -Always laugh when the teacher gets .off one. It will help with your grades. ., Grandpa Timmlns took up the car . lng knife and asked each of the lit tle darlings what he - or she would Have. And each one , of them there . were 16 at the table said, he or she ' would haye the drumstick and wing . and the gizzard and plenty of stuffing, - Whereat Grandpa Timmlns smiled a saccharine smile and - politely In quired : i:V' J '': .

Nobly spoken, my fair child; always be strenuous. ""-'".', A At last Grandpa Timmlns found the weak spot in the armor of the turkey and filed off sufflclent meat to help the guests. - Then he said "Whoo!" asd mopped his brow with his napkin. He was not a foxy grandpa, or he would have made his newest son-in-law do the hard work." Then everybody fell to, and ate all the good Jelly and pie and' pudding and cake and other stuff that Grand ma Timmlns had worked so . hard . over, while she tried to look, as if her long hours of toil were amply repaid. ' And after dinner the babies cried and two of the boys were whip ped and the little girls tore their Sunday frocks playing tag be hind the curio cabinet They al so broke some of grandpa's pet rel ics, r Then he' broke his good resolu tion. Later on they all went home. And good old Grandpa and Grandma Tim mlns sat down and looked at the wreck and looked at one another and said: "Whoo!" For the company had gone. And they were very thankful. CRANBERRY SAUCE A Crisis At the Dinner. -Mr. Gooph (to the guests) Which do you prefer dark or white meat? Sight Guests (In chorus) White.
