From a sentimental point this theory is undoubtedly correct, and would really work out beautifully were it not for certain changed conditions affecting our supply of seasonable provisions. A regulation plan of directions for getting up a proper Thanksgiving dinner even this year would suggest the providing of oysters, tuikeys, chicken for chicken pie, with vegetables, fruits, rich pastries, and delicacies in abundance. The idea is to arrange a composite meal which shall comprise as nearly as may be the various fruits and products of th earth. And a good and praiseworthy idea it is, too, if only everybody had the wherewithal to purchase these fruits; but unfortunately this must be an oysterless and a turkeyless Thanksgiving for many persons. The causes contributing to this state of things cannot be discussed here; nor does It much matter to the man who enters a meat market and sees a turkey which he longs to purchase for his family, but which he knows he cannot afford, just why the commodity, with many others, is so far beyond his tory. means.

Some of the men half rose, but sat down again when they saw that the matter was being attended to. It was a dreadful thing in those days to disturb a meeting.
