DISPLEAsED G. A. r, MEN,
Boston Comrades Who Did Not Like Some
Things at Detroit.

1ntngo NJ Detroit
The Boston Post says: 1.-THE Grand Army
men Of Boston who went to Detroit to attend
the national encampment are not singing the
praises Of that city for the manner in which
they were entertained, nor for the way in
which the people turned out to see the parade.
Camp Sheridan was q very fair kind Of a place,
but it was not like what the boys got in Boston;
and there was not so much of that hearty spirit
OF welcome and hospitality, If some of the old
veterans who were there can be relied upon to
give fair description.
1.-THE men high in the ranks of the Grand
Army OF the Republic who went to the hotels
complain of the way rates were advanced upon
them: when it was agreed that they should not
be. 1t was expected that three or four people
would be put into one room, but it was not
supposed that each person would be charged
more than the regular price for the room. as
they were. This state OF things prevailed at all
the hotels. One noticeable thing was the alb
sonce of enthusiasm along the line Of march Of
the big parade and the comparatively small
number OF people that viewed it. In decora-
tons, however, Detroit exceIled Boston. and
the display was the finest ever witnessed by the
veterans. The camps also were excellent and
the arrangements frst-class. as were also the
excursions, especially that OF the Loyal L.
Rion."

To Run . Steamboat Line Through the
Mussel Shoal Canals.
A most remarkable mass meeting Of citizens
OF Chattanooga was held there yesterday after
noon at the opera house. The meeting was called
for the purpose Of giving public Endorsement
to a movement now on foot in that city to
establish a steamboat line on the Tennessee
river to ply between Chattanooga and st. Louis.
The recent completion of the government
work at Mussel Shoal canals, costing nearly
25,000,000, made such a route practical and
feasible. The movement on foot in that city
is to raise 100000 to buy, equip and run a
boat Independent of any railroad alliances.
Nearly every business house in the city was
closed by O previous arrangement during the
progress of the meeting, which lasted over two
hours. A score or more of speeches were
made by leading merchants and manufactur-
ers showing great discrimination in the matter
of railroad freight rates and demonstrating
how q boat line would adjust rates. Great en-
thusiasm prevailed, and u long series Of reso-
buttons were adopted arrsigning the railroads
and pledging financial aid and support to the
steamboat line The fund will doubtless be
raised today.

A Man Whose Hair and Beard Trail on
the Ground.
Near Point Burwell. Ont, lives an eccentric
character by the name Of John Harper, though he
is best known by the nickname of "Long Hair
Johnnie" which he has gained by the extra
ordinary length of his hair and beard. These,
he claims, he has never allowed scissors or
razor to approach for over thirty years, in
fulfllment Of a VOW, though as to what this
vow was he is persistently silent. His hair
trails several feet on the ground when loosened
from the plaits in which he braids and wears it
about his head, and his beard touches earth
when he stands erect. Both are kept in beauti-
full ordor and are = great matter Of pride to
him. Harper is an Englishman by birth and a
man Of superior intelligence and some educa-
ton. He lives alone in a small one-room house
and has not been known to leave il for nearly
twenty years. He has no family, but draws q
small income from some investment in Eng
land.

and received a severe scalp wound. The other
occupants received o severe shaking up, but
fortunately escaped any serious injury. The
explosion was loud one and its force was felt
fully ten blocks away, many windows being
broken. From all accounts the deliberate at
tempt to blow up the residence was made by
woman, as she was seen to enter and leave by
the front gate few minutes before the explo-
sion occurred.
Mr.. Juvenal, who has been twice married,
said that while he was getting a divorce from
his first wife he kept company with Miss
Pfaffman, and that when she learned he had
married again she sent him letters threatening
to blow up his residence.

Thanksgiving Day.

During the Revolution Thanksgiving
Day was held by most of the States every
year, but after general thanksgiving
for peace in 1884 five years elapsed until
President Washington proclaimed day
of thanksgiving for the adoption of the
Constitution. At odd times during the
following years general thanksgivings
were ordered, but it was chiefly
confined, to the States of New
England. The Episcopal Prayer
book of 1889 recommended Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and the churches usually held
such services about the LIST of November
in States. The Governor of New York
ordered the first Thanksgiving for the
State in 1917, and in 1864 President
Lincoln by proclamation appointed an
annual Thanksgiving Day. The last
Thursday in November is generally ap-
pointed, and after the President has made
the proclamation, the Governors of the
various States follow in his steps, and it
has come to be one of the general holi-
days of the country.
In the New England States it is gen.
orally the day for family gatherings.
Turkey and cranberries and pumpkin-pie
are the viands always eaten by every
body, and foreigners are surprised at the
widespread custom which is generally
observed. Every one has something to
be thankful for, and in all institutions
and large cities turkeys are distributed,
so that the celebration may be one grand
hymn of Thanksgiving.

How to Choose a Turkey.

Mrs. s. Il. Rorer, in Ladies Home
Journal, says: "On Thanksgiving Day
every American family makes an effort
to dine on turkey. The turkey, being a
gift for which all Americans should be
thankful, seems especially appropriate
as Thanksgiving offering. If you are
n town-dweller you must secure your bird
from poulterer; and let me whisper to
you not to rely too implicitly ON his .judg-
ment. Tastes differ, and upon this oc-
casion you wish to suit your own. Some
persons prefer gobbler to II hen turkey,
but | will advise you hen. The meat
is whittier, sweeter and more tender. The
bill and toes should be soft, and the flesh
have II blueish-white cast, twelve pounds
being an exceedingly good weight. The
fortunate country -dweller has his own
turkeys, or should have at least, and can
mould them at will. The feed can be 80
managed that the meat will be white,
tender and of delicate flavor, or the
flavor may be greatly heightened by Il
change of diet. Chopped turnips, cab
bage and parsley, varied with corn meal,
boiled rice and chopped Gallery tops, i'm
part peculiar gamey flavor, which to
many persons is very desirable. This
food may be given three or four days be-
fore killing"

s.FIVE GRAINS OF CORN.o
A New England Thanksgiving Gus
TOM

Anniversary customs have no real rea-
son for being if they do not bring to mind
some event of Importance of interest in
the history of the people. Cog and
Magog, the fabulous giants who de-
Tended England against the Romans,
still figure on the Lord Mayors day in
London; the Cherry Feast of barbarous
times is still observed on the banks OF
the Suale in Germany; and when parties
of women in Boston drink Revolutionary
Tea" together, they recall the summary
protest OF their ancestors against British
tyranny.
A very pretty custom has to some ex-
tent grown up, which is well worthy to
become universal 1t recalls the suffer
ings and sacrifices of the Pilgrim Fathers,
and associates itself with our most festal
holiday. 1t is the custom of placing on
the plate of each guest five grains OF
corn, at the beginning Of the Thanksgiv-
ing dinuer.
In the winter of 1923, when Bradford
was governor, and the Pilgrims shared
their crops in common, the people of Ply
mouth Colony wore threatened with
famine, and were reduced to such straits
that for time each person was allowed
a cereal ration of five grains of corn u
day.
Put to this test, the faith of the Fore
fathers in their great enterprise did not
falter or fail. The elders counselled
resignation, and no one of the leaders
proposed an Abandonment of their pur-
pose or return to England or other
change to more promising shores. Every
one in the colony was willing to undergo
every possible privation for the sake of
the principle which it represented. In
the prosperous years that followed, this
event was recalled at the Thanksgiving
festival by aprovincial dish called succo-
tash, which consisted of palatable mix
ture of beans and corn. After the lapse
of some two hundred years, Mrs. He
manss "Hymn of the Pilgrim Fathers"
began to be used at Thanksgiving festi-
walls. The dish called pandowdy-a kind
of apple pudding of colonial reputation
was similarly employed for like histor-
ical reasons at the dessert.
Recently, the placing of five grains of
corn on the Thanksgiving plate before
the meal has been made to recall the
hardships and heroism of the founders
of New England and the American com
monwealth.
These things are all appropriate to
Thanksgiving, the succotash, the pan
dowdy, the song, "The breaking waves
dashed high" and the five grains of corn.

Frank lighted the gas and looked
around. Was she lurking in some cor
ner? No, she had folded up her work
and "silently stole away" Yet he
seemed TO be established on a friendly
footing with her.
The mender finished to-day and I've
just paid her." Mrs. kitchell told him the
next.
Done so soon?" he said with note of
disappointment.
"She said she was pressed with other
work outside the mending line. She was
above it, I'm sure, yet she does it CHEEKY
like, as if she meant to make the best of
it. A quiet young lady she is-one you
couldn't ask questions"
Frank put on pair of mended stock
ings the next morning. He found an
obstruction in the toe of one, which
proved to be bit of paper with these
words written upon it:
Slip on your stockings
With delicate qulrk,
| lfyou would not injure
This fine lattice work.
| Evidently the mender had vein of
humor, which Mrs. Kitchell had over
looked "a rhyme, too," he muttered.
"What next | wonder?"
In the pocket of vest that had been
newly bound and pressed he found
another missive.
Gently linger when the button
Lies between your thumb and finger,
Be not hurried,
Cross or f1urred,
Take your time to dress for dinner.
"By Jove!" he thought, "she's found
out that I'm an impatient fellow, taught
by her woman's wits and my surround
ings, suppose" He glanced uneasily
at blue polka dot necktie reposing in
corner, where he had flung it the morn
ing before.
Somehow the rhymes jingled in his ears
all the evening. He heard others in his
sleep, which, us near as he could remem-
Der next morning had run something in
this wise:
Prepare, prepare, for glad Thanksgiving
For peace and JOY and a brand new wedding.
From which it may be inferred that Frank
had been one of the contracting parties
in wedding in the past, if the dream
rhymes were to be trusted.
About week before Thanksgiving he |
took up paper and the following head
lines of story stared at him:
