Thanksgiving comes tomorrow,
and we hope all our good, paid.up
subscribers have o nice fat turkey
ready for the oven, with cranberry
sauce and celery and pumpkin pie and

what's left over from dinner, chop it
into hash for supper.

an earthquake. The doors and vii
dows ratified as though struck by
sudden gust OF wind, while building
seemed to sway quite perceptibly. {
course these sensations were notice
