"Dlp YOU notice." said a devout Catho-
lie 10 the reporter, that we Catholics
never celebrate THANKSGIVING especially!
The day was originally started, yon know,
by the Puritans, who, considering Christ
mas a relic of popery which they despised,
introduced this day TO take us place, not
celebrating Christmas at all. For years In
New England Christmas was neglected,
but the influx Of Catholics finally brought
it into general observance, While Thanks
giving day is not nearly SO generally cele-
DRAFTED as formerly"

IO-cent cigars are made Of the livings of
high-priced cigars, and are never long
