A THANKSGIVING STORY
Midy Barrv and Josie King serv
edat opposite couuters of a great
i ry goods aud millinery empori
um j hat was bow they made ac
quain lance in ihe first piace—nod
ding and suidiing at each other in
luieiva's of serviug customers,
when ihev came to peaking, and
at easy stages to the irnocent con
lidonc'-of , Loir age found they
wore companions in so many ways
-each being orphaned poor, lone
jy and veiy sociable—it wah naiur
nl fliai they should presently ex
change Viiws of e/ernal friend
>hip.
They then hired a little room to
gether, paid equal parts of it hum
Ihe rent, and went partners in ibeir
frugal housekeeping expenses
and when they drank their coffee
their Vienna roll opposite
<ach oiher, across a dainty ii tie
table they felt a, if ihey had
a home once more.
.Miliy was a fair pleasant look
ing girl with soft blue eyes, brown
hair, and a fresh red and white
complexion ; Josi was tall, dark
ind pale, with glossy black hrir
and large dark brown eyes—a very
handsome girl, a* was often re
marked by ladies when sne served
diem with a rather queenly air.
7 he gills were a direct contrast
in pels<jmile appehranee- —another
reason for their attraction toward
each -o'her.
Miliy and los e had not large
salaries —the firm which employed
hem was nci remarkable for gen
<-r sity ; quick sales small profit
and very small salaries was the
rule, in the ‘Vre.it emporium,’’
However, by dint of incessant
economy ami by leason of sharing
(!xpeues,*ilidy ana Josie contrived
o put aiide a small sum weekly
toward a little fund fora great
Thanksgiving clebration.
'1 hey were both New Englann
girls, and in their childhood's dav B
that day had ever been one of
great rejoicing aud much merry
making iu ihe homes tha‘ remain
ed row only as a beautiful memo
‘7-
‘,But for once they determined
to make i 1 as much as much of a
joyous reality as he Right ofyears
and loss of friends and rela/ives
would allow. They iaid oui in im
uagiuation qui e a sumpious en
tertainment ; and on counting up
i.teir savings a few day before the
festive occasion, aud tiuding that
they amounted to the magnificent
sum of ten dollars, both girls felt
justified in inviting a few friends
to help them eat their turkey.
Airs. Hobson, their landlady,
promised to roast the noble bird
ind asked permission to contrib
ute a m ; nee and a omnpkm pie
while the girls themselves under
t. iok the cooking of the cranberry
since and vcg< tables on their own
tiny gas stove —for each felt 'hat
half the fun of toe entertaiummt
would be lost unless they ptrson
aiy superintended a p°’t:on of
the cooking.
The great day approached, and
ii was Thanksgiving nve, and of
c Jinse the r marketing had tu tie
d lie after store hours, for neith
er had hue" able to get leave of
i secce du-ing the anytime. Tue
emporium beiug more than usual
ly thronged because of he Cuming
holiday.
‘•Come Ju»ie !’’ calle 1 Miliy,
frern iho door of their room, as
he drew on her neat ; 1 -vis, Jos •
having stepped across the hail
o a moment to ask their rheu
m-tie neighbor, just opposite
whether ihey could do her any
service .'bile they were out shop
ping.
“Yes dear,’’ said ’Josie. *Go
on Miily,l will overtake yon ai th«
door.”
Miliy wen! on, as directed, very
le surely, and buttoning Le.
gloves as sle defended /he
s airs.
When she reached the lower
hall, she wailed for Jooie befo' e
q e: i ig the uoor.
Minute after miuu e pa sed and
,lowing impatient, she umused
her es by druming with the tips
of hei ti gers on the banisters.
F,e minutes pasted, and. with
u slight exclamation, she ran half

way up stalls again.
‘ Come,Josie—i. is getting late!”
she ca ! led out, as she retraced her
steps. “We will find nothing
worth l)!.iv n" v
» O '
"Oh dear, detr, !” responded Jo
sie. in distress and per
plexity.
M lly hurried np the remain
ing stair, and haste ied into their
room.
Josie was wildly searching
about the apartment, moving ta
ble chairs, bureau—even the
bed in a state of niter despiar ami
bewilderment.
“I\ hat in the wcrld is the mat
ter. Have you iosi anything !”
“Any i Ling ? Everything !’’was
‘he iragic reply, wi'h an appropi
ate tone and gesture. The mon
ey ! Our ten dollars is gone !”
“Good gracious !—but is it pos
sible.
“J/i!!y gasped for Lreaih, and
eank in'c the nearest chair, with
even grea/er ileßpiur writien on
lier countenance ihau had jubt
given rise to her merriment when
she saw it depicted on her friends
fice. But Josie didn’t laugh.
The situation was far too serious
for her to »ej any comic ph ise in
it.
“So I thought, to j when I first
misled it ; bui I have hearcLed
every coi net c f the room, every
inch of the carpet, every impos
sible and possible place, and the
appalling fact becomes more con
vincming—the money is gone
Again and again every article
in die room was moved out of its
place, and every likely and unlike
ly nook and crevice searched, but
without success.
Occasionally a remark wss made
by one or the other of the girls,
and absently replied to ; and B.ill
the search went on, until, tired
out, they both sat down and dis
pairingly removea bonnet, jacket
imd gloves.
There was now nc occasion for
going out ; the marketing to
to which they bail looked forward
with bo much pleasure, was no
lengir possible.
lustead /hey must find some
way sending word to their invited
guesis that inforeseericircumstan
ces had interposed to prevent
their little festiviiy.
Josie waj quite heart broken,
blaming nereelf lor her careless
ness ; and though Miliy tried to
conduit her, she could not help
thiuking that she would have b«en
more careful of the treasu re they
had so long favhfuGy striven
for.
Aud, to mika everyihiny worse
an unrni slekablc, though indes
scribale, coldness sprang up these
warm friends.
“You aud Josie King are not
such frit nds as you nse.l to be,”
remarLed a second acquaintance
to JUilly Barry, some weeks la/
er.
The speaker was Kale Weeks,
ous of the patty who hud been in
vited to the Thanksgiving dinner
which iieoer look place; aud the
youug git’e cham ed to be 'alking
ogether for a few moments dur
iag the brief noontime.
“No, wo are not —though I
ove ./nsie King d< a Iy, and al
ways shftM,” returned MiHy “The

unfortunate feu dollars. You
-ee, no one also was in the room
from /he time she laid the money
on ibe bureau umil it was missed
except ourse ves. And where
could it got lam sure tLe sane
thought is iu loth our minds —not
that ei.her of us rearly suspects
.he othor of taking the rnoiey
wou'd be impossible—but we are
both miserable from feariLg Hut
we SUspeci ench O'her, aud we
have neither of us the courage to
come to an explanation. The idea
o' such a thing 6eems so unuttor-
Hble mean! Ob, dear! I nad ratt
er have lost ten thousand dollars
than have given way to ihe wick
id thoughis aud douots forceu
ou ae by the loss of that wretched
ten,”
A youug man, who was passing
along ihe crowded aisle of the
em lurium at that moment, chauc
ei io overhear these words; for
Hi her txci ement, Miliy raised her
voice, ai d spoke with great dislin
ctness.
This young man looked at her
with malted attention, and before
he left the s/ore he had, by m ic!
perseverance, and by : s-uming liik
most engaging manners adipidy'
managed to asceriwiii Milly’s name
find also her place of residf-noo,"
without e./btr giving oflense
subjecting himself to a snubbing
for his curiosity.
/’hat evening, Josie aud Millju,
were much startled by tAe receit
of u card sent up) by a gentleman
who had asked for them both, and
was now waitiug in the p irlor.
“Swy we will come down,” said
Josie to ihe griping niaiil-of-nIT
work, who evidently shared their
timrzetnen l , for neilher Miss B:u-.
ry nor Miss King had ever reieiv
ed a masculine visitor hi fore since
taking up their abode in those lots”
gins.
"Albert Merton,” Josie read
Iroin the card, ns the d'or closed
behind iho seryan'. ‘I knew < f
no such person. It must be some
friend of yours Miliy.”
“No indeed! I m ver heard the
the gentlemans tame Ik lore.
But it’s a very pretty name. Sup*
prose we go and s-.e if the owner
is worthy of his name.”
Both girls hastened to the par
lor, and a tall, good looking, ele
gant young man, "quite as pretty
as his name, Miliy snb.-equeutly
remarked, rose to meet /. em.
“Miss Barry,” he. bowed to Mil
ls ‘ and Miss King,” he bowed to
Josie “I trust you will not cor.sid
er this an intrusion when I explain
that 1 come to return something
be'onging to you both, which
has chanced to get into my posses
siou.”
“lmposßiole, I think! We
hi»V6 lost nothing— at leas' I have
not.”
And Josh looked toward Mil
iy-
Nor I!’ replied ibaS young la
dy, emphatically’
“Am you quite sent” smiled,
ihe visiior: “A certain ten-dollar
bill was biown in my face by a
stray gust ot wind last Thanks
giving Eve, just as I was piassitig
tins house, end I imvebeen on the
lookout for the owNer ever since
Something I c' anced to overhear
to day led me he»-e.”
“A ten dollar bill?” b-th gills
ex Gained at once.
And Miliy added, in self re
pioaeb.
“The window was open, Josie,
I stepped across <he room to
close it, and I never remembered
V. afterward. How wrong of
me! It would have explained every
thing.”
Aud without a word more both
girls rushed toward eacli other
and exchanged a fervent embrace.
Mr. Merton smiled anti seemed
to unders'ant. although neither of
th* girls lemeinbeied his piresence
just then.
‘ But it may not be our len dol
lars Mfter all.”
“That is easily tested,’’ said !o
sie. “x exchanged our money for
the hi 1 at the bture ihat day; and
having my pencil iu Land ut ihe
lime, I wrote on the back of it our
initials,‘M. and J.’, inclosed in a
circle.’
“/ind here it is!” langbed young
Merton, taking a crisp nMe fro u
his packet and smoothing it out,
so that the maik was p ainly visi
ble on the reverse side
“So like you Josie,” said Miliy
taking possession of the money.
“I shall take care of ii this time.”
Josie made no answer, but her
quick, nr is/ic eye, noted the
sfrorg. white, well shaped hand on
which the bi)/ had res ed; and some
how, ‘he iook of admiration was
caught by the dark, blue eyes of
the owner of that hand.
Josie King blushed violently,
and looked so handsome that t -
belt Mertou instinctively uttered
an exclamation.
•■Oh, Miss King, you will for
give me, I know! ’ he explained.
“Bui lam mi Hilist, and ai iLu/
rrome it the turn of your bead aid
the expression of your free, jus/
realized the ideal I have been en
gaged on. It’s a charming sub
ject—if you would o»dy gram me
iho piivilege of a sitting to sketch
your head. ’
Miliy discreetly withdrew to a
distance, aud pretended to ex
amine the recovered ten dohar
bil/. Josie uid not grant the
young artist’s request immediate-
ly, but Let refusal w..s not of a
character to rendot him hopeless.
She subsequently repented of her
lack of amability so far that she
granted Albert Mer ou inumerahle
sittings: and, in the course of ihe
nex six months, his s'ndio taeined
with sketches as Josie King s beau

and on the wedding day, Miliy,
who officia'ed as bridesmaid, slip
pied the identical ten dollar bill
into Josis’s hand, and whispiered.
“Have it flamed and put in a
glass case dear, You see our loss
was a great gain in the end.”
Hules for duller .Mukiug
An experienced dairy man of
Central New York has issued a
piamphlet describing his methods
of making butler. A few brief
rules from tnis pamphlet are given
below :
Feed liberally ; have pure water
alwuys accessible, and keep a rnixt
ore of equal parts of salt, ashes
and sulphur within reach of Die
cows.
Besure yom '..b e■; are ihor
owghly ventilate 1 r> move all drop)
piing immediut.i , h 1 freely use
übsorbeuts and Deo i rizers—such
us sawdust, dr' n- h, or cut straw
never omitting a jiueral use i f
pilaster.
When milk is kepit over night
to be carried to a factory, the ii m
pHuature should be reduced as low
as 60 degrees.
If milk is set at home for cream
the sooner it can tie set after milk
ing and the higher the tempera
ture tile bet er, ns cream rises
best and almost wholly while the
tempieittture is falling.
Never reduce the tempieraiure
be dw lot ly degrees, as a lower
temperature h>s a tendency to
chill the product and injure its
keeping quality, and it also ex
pands the water, rendering its rel
a iveiy greater den si y less in
stead of increasing it. To go 5
degress below 40 degites would
have practically Lhe same effect as
raising the temperature 5 degrees
and to that extent retard the ris
ing of the ere an.
Skim as soon as the cream is ail
up, or so much of it as yon wait
to take from tbe milk.
-Keep your cream, if not churn
til immediately, at a tempieraiure
of 64 degiees or below, but not be
low 40 dtgie, s.
Churn a' tueh a temptrature be
• ween 56 and 64 degrees, as expe
rience sbowf you is be«t. Condi
liona vary the tempieia'ure for
churning.
Step the churing when the but
ter is in granges about Die size
of wheat kernels.
Draw off the bnttermik and
wa.-h iu clean water btfote gather
ing tbe bu'tor until ihe water is
clear. If one wushii gis in brine,
it is all the belter, ab brine t" agu
la'es ibe cheesy mailer, which de
solves and then is washed out.
Salt to suit customers, using
none but rtfined salt made for dap
ry purposes. The best American
sa’t is as go d as any.
Pu' upi in such packages as are
demanded by your market. If fo r
long keeping, pack in tiik ns, set
in a cool, sv ect pilace, and keep
the butter cuvereu witii brine.

Iho other day a little cherub of
but b very few summets, sat at
the window of her residence on
East Fourth Street, wluu a genu
mo dude walked weari y by. His
legs were phantom like, his slio* s
long and pointed, his drees fo 4 -
pish, he wore a single eye glass
and carried a diminutive rattan
cane. As lie stated about idioea -
iy the little one said:
“Mama, d d Dod make’at mar ?
“Yes, my darling.’’
Tbe litile one looked again and
giggled, and with a merry twinkle
in her eye said :
“Mama, Dod likes have fun des’
as much as anybody, don’t he."

“ I bet's what 1 like to see—a

"I suppose, 1 ' remarked the bar
keeper, “that I must ireat, but

"Oh, let up ou that stuff,’’growl
ed the tramp. "You never could
put anything in yonr month to
steal away your brains. Just
shut off the morality lecfure and
produce the old stuff.”
The barkeeper did. With all
liisfauhshe was goed imtured
and he admired the nerve of the
trampr. When the tramp} had dis
posed of the poison, tie said -.
“It makes me tir6d to hanr a loi

“Where can ilioy get ’em ?" ask
ed the barkeeper
“Why, R t 'em go to a pdiiloso -

the ma ter with/hat ? WhDe on
th road I wrote a lot myself.—
Talk about proverbs and old say
ings, you ought to heai mine.”
“let’s hear ’em,” said the bar-
keeper.
“For nothing ?" snid the tiampi
indignantly. “Not much. Just

“These things I have written,”

Colonel Johnson, commanding
the lOOSzli Reg't, 111 Vo!. Inl’iy
during the lata war up to Die
time he fairly earned mid secured
his “Single Star,” was a strict dis
ciplinarian. Si rag ling and forag
ing were espiecially tabooned by
him; certain and severe was the
punishment of the culprit who
was caugh/ awiiy from bis com
mand without autloiiiy, ai d if
any foraged provisions found on
the scoundrel ihey were at once
confisca'ed. As it was not piracii
cable to return the provisions to
the lawful owner, /he Col. would
have /hem served up> at his own
Mess I able, to “keej them fiorn
going to waste ’’
Asa consequence, the Col. was
cors'ially bn ted by many of his
men, nnd many were die plans
laid down by tuern “to get even’
aud circumvent him, but owing to
his astuteness, they generally
come to grief.
One day a soldier of the regi
men i, who had the reputation of
being a “firs! class, single handed
forager J’ but who had neverthe
l&ts been repeatedly compelled to
disgorge his irregu arly procured
supply of fresh meat, and as re
peate lly to paHs nn interval of his
valuable time in ihe Regimental
Bull Pen, slipped awniy from
camp aud, after an absence of sev
eral hours, returned with a loaded
haversack and tried to get to his
tent without at/racting any atten
don. Hb was noticed, however
airested. and escoried to Regimen
tal Headquarters.
“Omar, yotiinferial scoundrel,
you Lave been foraging again,’’said
the Colonel.
“No, I haven’t.”
“Haventeh! I.e's see what’s
in your hawrsack. Leg o’ mut
ton, eli! Killed some person's
slieepi,” said the Colonel. Omar
ivns sent to the O' utird House as
usu il, and tfie forugen property
to Die Colonel’s cook.
The regimental Mess, consisting
of most of the Field and Staff offi
3ers, had fresh meat for supiper
and breakfasi. During the latter
mea 1 , toe Colonel hap p ened to
look out fro'» under the tent fly.
that was in use as a Mess room,
and noticed Omar, who was under
gnard dealing iip> nroutid head

“Will, pirisoner, what is it?’
“Noll in", Col i el,” replied
Oman “except 1 was just wonder

CuDstei nation blazed the party
at the tahie. With an exclama
