A firm of San Francisco grocers
has been accustomed to put, at night,
the money from the days sale in a
sack and hide it in the oatmeal barrel.
The other morning a small boy called
early for some oatmeal, and one of the
firm served him, giving him along with
the meal about $40. Since that time
the San Francisco newspapers have
been printing advertisements Offering
aliberal reward to the boy if he would
call at the store. At last accounts the
boy hadn't called.

LITTLE PAuL's THANKSGIVING.

They tossed him and they squeezed him,
And they kissed him, one and all;
They said: "You blessed, blessed boyF'
And: Darling little PAUL."
But they didn't give him turkey,
Nor any pumpkin pie,
And when the nuts and grapes went round
They slyly passed him by.
But he didn't seem TO mind 1t,
For in the sweetest way
He sat and sucked his little thumb.
His first Thanksgiving Day.

Lehighton vs.. Catasauqua.

Lehighton played its twelfth game for
this season with the Catasauqua League
club on last Saturday on the home grounds.
After combination of errors in the first
inning by which the visitors scored, the
home nine kept them down by good all
round playing to three runs. Reichard
and Brinkman were in the points for
Lehighton and they manipulated the
leather so successfully that but few safe
hits were made and base stealing was al
most out of question. The features of the
game were Koons' home run, Richards,
Albright's and Bnnkman's Islugging and
the base stealing of Smith, Albright,
Rehigh, Garland and Yenser. The visi-
tors played poor game and were "toyed"
with by the home nine. About FIVE hun
dred people witnessed the game. Score 16
to 8. We below append the official score:
