THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.
Bobby. "We should always be thankful for blessings, shouldn't we, mamma?"
Mamma. "Yes, Bobby."
Bobby. "But blessings are not like arithmetic, are they?"
Mamma. "Of course not. Why should you be thankful for arithmetic?"
Bobby. "Because I knew my arithmetic to-day, and wasn't kept in."
TOMMY'S THANKS.
I'm thankful for the nice red drum
Aunt Mary gave to me;
I'm thankful for the glossy pug
That frisks about my knee.
I'm thankful that our orchard old
Is full of rosy fruit;
I'm very thankful that I have
A canvas football suit.
I'm thankful for the fading tree
That shakes the chestnuts down;
But most of all I'm thankful for
The turkey crisp and brown.
