I was nnxlous
t li o society
should under
take something which would promote
tlio spirit of tins dny. Tho county
bouse, containing nlinut 2MI of the poor
and Hutu m, was located two miles
from the town, nml I conceived the
plan of having our society a-lve thorn a
tremilne Thniiksa'lvlnv treat. At the
first moot Iiik of the odety I made the
ctiKKcstiun. Of course. It interested
the young people, hut then there
came the illllieulties. How eonld
twelve or fifteen young people, poor
enos at that, with 0 burden already too
bonvy to hear, contribute to the hnppi
liess of 2? Kxpoiiso, labor, time all
U10 costly factors In such undertak
ings, loomed up, and though bright
eyes sparkled and checks glowed nt
the thought, the young people sadly
shook their heads, fearing the under
taking beyond their nblllly. I had,
however, planned the matter In' my
own mind, and having faith that we
would not lie left to our own resources
In the matter, I laid bare my plans,
and Anally, by vote, committed the so
ciety to the undertaking.
The first thing we did was to dele
gate a person to go to the village mil
ler to secure 200 eight-pound paper
bags. Instructing him to make known
to I1I111. in detail our plans and pur
pose. The miller became Interested
Immediately, and when the pay for the
bags was tendered, lie refused to ac
cept It, saying: "No: no! I want a
share In your work, and !f I were a
young person I think 1 would want to
associate myself with a society such as
yours." Next I went to the publisher
of the village newspaper and asked him
to print ftr us Umj slips of paper like
this:

him alive and he shall be blessed upon

Pa. 41:1-3.
Of course, the newspaper man was
deeply interested and glad to contri
bute the Klips, as his share toward the
benefaction. The slips were then past
ed upon the bags, and by the committee
appointed for the distribution, left at
the homes of those who had been se
lected. No consideration was given
to either the denominational or the re
ligious character of those solicited.
Roman Catholics, Jews and Infidels
were asked, and responded generous
ly. The entire population of the vil
lage felt tho generous thrill and the
happy glow. Two hundred households
were made happy for days In discuss
ing their contributions. When the
bags were gathered together it was
found thnt wo had nearly half a ton
of goodies for the poor people, and not
one of tho tings was found missing or
returned empty. And what a revela
tion of the generosity and kindly sym
pathy of the people those bags were.
Some of them were estimated as worth
not less than $3. In them were or
anges, bananas, apples, tnnlnga grapes,
figs, nuts, cakes, boxes of candles,

members of the committee were then

to them the greetings of the loving

their gratitude well-nigh broke our
hearts.
After making the rounds of the hos

parture, feeling that In addition to the
blessedness of having remembered the
poor, we bad established a red-letter
day In the history of the institution.
The keeper, In a communication to our
society many weeks afterwards, add
ed to previous expressions of gratitude,
the assurance that the event had
caused a happy divergence In the
thoughts of the inmates, and Instead of
dwelling upon their unfortunate condi

tho tboughtfulness of their friends. It
ought to be added that our contribu

Sabbath dinner till some time after

society the first spur of Inspiration
which led It out into larger and more
active spheres of altruistic endeavor.

and calmly amenable to the seductive
effects of n really attractive nml prop

An essay on the delights of eating,
therefore, which would only merit his
cynicism or contempt nt any other
time becomes nn nttractive subject
now, nnd the idea of festooning bis
stomach with n melange of succulent
dainties become n subtle and tender
ly fantastic suggestion ns Thanksgiv

It depends very much upon the ex
uberance of the fancy, the training of
the palate or tlie depth of the pocket

stretched out to suit the taste of nny

of n turkey .0 buy Is n short breasted,
plump bird, with n clear skin nnd short

n fowl that Is not over large, lnig

The clever housewife needs no tell

how to garnish the centre piece with

which may lie given n touch of color

P.o sure not to bring out the ordi

is the one occasion when nil the old

A Time For General Krjolclng.
Thanksgiving is a time when the
preacher gets into print far and wide,
and the sermons of the day often have
a strong political flavor. It is related
of a stanch Federalist pustor of Con
necticut, who Included this prayful
sentence In his Thanksgiving invoca
tion: "And oh, Lord, endow the Pres
ident (Jefferson) with a goodly por
tion of Thy grace, for Thou, 0 Lord,
knowest that ho needs It."
In those old days secular antipathies
and political prejudices were forgot
ten In the general rejoicing. It was an
occasion when old enemies made
friends, and rich and poor Indulged In
cider, mlnco pie nnd n fowl of some
kind. No tramp went unfed, nnd even
the town poorliouse had its turkey. In
the middle of the century it wns cus
tomary and fiishhmnhlo to miikn calls
after the manner of tho once popular
New Year's observance, and ns recent
ly ns 181)3 New Yorkers celebrated the
Thanksgiving occasion by purndlng

TAIITY. of fourteen of
i iroro crotnir aoifth from
A I Tort Kearney, Neb., on
I foot, with two mnlo tenms
to haul our enmp equip
ments and supplies," relates Mr. Illch-
nrds. "One afternoon we were mak
ing our wny leisurely along a ridge,
when we suddenly descried on tl
summit of nnntlier ridge a huge black
line at least a hnlfmlle in length. Those
of us who hnd not been on the plnlns
before could not mnke out whnt this
line wns, but we were Informed by the
chief of our party that It was $ herd
of buffalo.
"We could see plainly enough that
with our henvily loaded tenms we
could not get beyond it. Our chief
therefore promptly called a halt, gave
orders that the two wagons be brought
tip close together, one behind the other
nml directed that the mules bo un
hitched, placed behind the wngons on
the side opposite that from which the
buffalo were coming and securely fas
tened to tho wheels. Then one mnn
wns iletnllod to ench mule to keep It
ns quiet ns possible, while ten of us
were instructed to fill our pockets with
cartridges, form a line, go out to meet
the buffalo nnd try to split thein nnd
keep them divided uutll they pnssed
tho wngons.
"The Spencer cnrblnes with which
we were armed shot a .CO-callber bullet
with n charge of powder much too light
for that weight of load and thnt kind
of game. We went back some 300
yards from the wngons and opened
lire. The rear end of the herd hnd not
yet come up over the opposite ridge,
so thnt we were confronted by a mass
of bufTalo half a mile long on the front
nnd extending nt lenst thnt far back.
The nnlmnls were coming toward us nt
wlint wns only n fast .walk until we
opened lire, nnd then broke Into u gal
lop. To stop them wns out of the ques
tion, for those in front were urged for
ward by those behind.
"I recall distinctly thnt when I fired
my first shot, the front of the line
being about 200 yards from us, I
thought I had struck n horn, but when
I had fired several shots nnd heard
them nil strike I knew I wns hitting
something beside horns. I thought
noise might be of benefit nt this time,
so hnvlng good lungs I exerted them
to tho utmost, joined at onco by the
rest of the tiring party. And my theory
worked out all right. The noise of our
guns and of our voices, with wlint exe
cution our bullets were doing, caused
the herd to divide and pass to cuch
side of us. Hut we soon found our
selves In a precnrlous situation. When
the herd wns first split, the buffalo
could see ns well ns hear us, nnd they
veered off either way, but thoso thnt
were following crented such a noise
themselves nnd raised such a cloud of
dust tlint they could hardly seo or
hear us, nnd'soon began to crowd In on
us lu a wny exceedingly disquieting.
SITUATION EXCITING.
The nnlmnls were being forced bnck
ward and in nnd upon each other to
such an extent that It became doubt
ful whether we were going to succeed
iu our effort If we should fall It
meant thnt we should be trampled un
der foot nnd the entire party as well
as the outfit wiped off the face of the
earth. We had been forced Into a solid
lino nnd were splitting the herd, be
cause we would not be doubled up or
give way on either side. We bad been
going back foot by foot, bad few cart
ridges left and It was becoming evident
that we could not hold out much
longer when our backs ctimo in contact
with tho wagons, and almost at the
same Instant we saw daylight ahead
of us, nnd there was the cud of the
herd. Tho most remarkable thing
nbout tho whole affair was thnt wheu
the herd had passed nnd the dust had
settled there were only two dead buf
faloes lying upon the plains, while
more than iJOO shots had been fired.
"Having a small supply of water in
our wngouB, wo camped nt the place
where tho light had taken pluce, but
got llttlo sleep, as the herd stopped
within a short distance of us. Ou ac
count of the wounded buffalo and smell
of fresh blood, they wcro lu a state of
turmoil all night, while ths wolves
both coyotes and tho largo gray ani
mals kept up an Incessant howling all
night long, We moved on tho next
morning in good order with plenty of
buffalo meat, the first wo had obtained
upon the trip.
"The buffalo is, under ordinary cir
cumstunces," continued Mr. Richards,
"a docile animal, neither aggrcsslvo
nor combative, but I had some exper
ience with the animal which went to
show that when aggravated they are
dangerous. I found that ordinarily a
buffalo, liko any other wild animal
with which I havo had experience,
will run from a hunter when given an
opportunity, and that wheu wounded
It will not ordinarily c-bargo a man
from a greater distance than about
fifty yards. On one occasion I met one
which was an exception to this rule,
however. I was hunting on foot with
Henry rifle. Buffalo were not plen
tiful in the locality, but I finally sight
ed an old bull lying down on the plains.
Hunting on foot, I needed neat bad!y,
and could not afford to let this old
fellow get away. Buffalo are not wary
when lying down, and I approached to
within ISO yards, when I concluded I
was about aa close aa I cared to be,
took aim and &reA
mm
the Buffalo if

"My bullet struck the sloping sur
face of a rib, made n- slit In the hide
nml did no further dnniAge. The old
fellow Jumped up nnd started to run
nt right nnglcs to the line I wns fol
lowing, giving me a good shot nt bit
side. I fired, but having underesti
mated the distance, the bnll dropped
nnd struck him Just nbore the hoof ol
the foreleg. He then turned nnd canit
straight for me.
A I'OItTUN'ATE SHOT.
"There wns nothing for me to do but
to hold my ground nnd shoot. II
enmo on without the slightest hesita
tion, and I kept shooting ns fnst as 1
could, but after n few shots I beentne
much nlnrmed respecting the nunrhoi
of cartridges remaining In my mngiv
Bine. I had no time to look to see

every time I threw down the lever.
Just ns I wns nbout to pull tho trigger
for nnother shot he stopped. He wns
so nenr I could have thrown my hat
on his horns.
"Tho old fellow certainly presented
a most terrifying aspect. I found two
or three bullets In his foretop, flattened
on his skull, while the bnll which killed
I1I111 hnd pnssed nlong the side of his
neck nnd entered his body between the
neck nnd the shoulder blade. But for

probably would never havo been told."
