Thanksgiving day was cclebra
ted in quiet, easy going sort of way
by the Osceolaites; few turkeys be.
ing slaughtered for tie occasion
In fact, that sort of fowl is some
what Of a rarity in our market,
fact, no doubt, which was overlook
cd by President Cleveland when HI
issued his proclamation. 1t shcult
have been supplemented with al
appropriation for turkey and Gran
berry sauce for everybody, then WI
could al feel thankful.
One day this week, a little bo,
attending school, was found in pos
session Of . mur,lerously loaded pis
tol. The little cherub had had u boy,
quarrel with one of his school mates
and had come thus prepared ant
equipped, not to have instil)ed int
his fresh. and expanding mind, thu
ways Of knowledge aud virtue, ant
tread the paths Of peace and happi
ness, but to wreck his vengeance ant
spatter tho walls Of the school hous,
with the Innocent blood of his schoo
mate. How came that little tottle
in possession Of that pistol? Parents
who watch over the welfare of thci
children, don't usually provide then
with such dangerous playthings! 4
$50 6ne against the parent Of boy
who are permitted to carry pistol
would no doubt have q salutary ef
feet in causing parents to guard thei
boys against the mere than useles
habit Of carrying pistol and othc
dangerous weapons. Better to breal
mp the habit now, than that the Ia,
should be resorted to to break thei
necks later in life.
