THANKSGIVING MEMORIES.

Thanksgiving bids fair to be very qui- etly observed here. We have hardly heard, as yet, of the sale of turkey, but some of the most we'll to do may think it best to have one, but with many a family, this year,we fear it may be un- attainable, although here in New Pres ton we think the depression and lack of work has as yet been felt among the la boring class as little as in great many like places, and larger. May it continue so to be. We never felt more glad than this year to look out and see so few, in fact, not yet any, idlers on the street. The highways, the carpentering and building and the general improvements which have been going on in this village the present year has given work continu- ously to all the day laborers available. Tramps from abroad are beginning to be seen passing through here and all are looking forward to an unusually close, hard winter, but we earnestly hope no Thanksgiving day. Of all the days or holidays of the year, the most tender recOllections to us cling about Thanks giving day. We were raised that way. Father and mother had the children, and later with their wives, husbands and children, home that day. A table never can look as that did and the chat and | long evening after cannot be duplicated in after life. Saddest of all, with so many of us, it is very much a thing of the past. The circle is broken, the fac es are gone,so many of them, those that remain can scarcely bear the thought o1 trying to revive the custom for the sad vacancies seem more so as this day years sat alone for a space on this New England day and dreamed it OCT agair only to awake and find ourselves alone and regret with sad remorse we did no prize all more when we had them. Cher ish the old home, boys, girls. Be sure and visit it or have the parents with yol on Thanksgiving day. You will neve have another just like it, and in thou sands of cases that home finally is gon, so suddenly, but surely, forever, ant Thanksgiving day, though fondly cher | ished, seems different ever after.

bulkheads, without openings of any sort, into
seven water-tight compartments, insuring
perfect safety in case of accident. The main
salooon, cafe, dining-room, state-rooms and

The Comic Opera, "LtttIe Tycoon"

Comic opera without a topical song or two
would hardly be comic opera up to date, or
rather up to the liking of the many people
who are fond Of that style of entertainment.
Yielding to that plainly expressed general
desire, Mr.. Willard spenser has written a
catchy topical song which bears the taking
title of "Thats What l Think, Don't You ?"
As the name indicates, the theme of the song
is rather elastic in character and admits of
numerous aud varied hits at the latest
developments in politics social and local
doings the fashions, the ladies, the dudes and
all of the many foibles of the day. 1t will
be sung by the comedian during the second
act Of "The Little Tycoon when that opera
is done at Ferguson's theatre, on the night of
