Some years ago boy from the reform
school was adopted by man living in the
western part of the State, who was then,
in financial manner, comfortably
situated In later years financial rcvcrscs
came with a loss of friends. His relatives
were not disposed to care for him, but the
reform school boy, who in the meantime
had gone to Massachusetts and had become
successful in business, learning of the
situation came down to Maine and said to
his old friend, "When was poor and an
outcast you were kind to me and made
me home Now | have come to take
you to my home, where you may remain

AUGUSTUS THANKSGIVING.

what the Good Folk Of the Capital City
will Do.

Thanksgiving will be observed, Thurs
day in Augusta as well as throughout the
ctate and Union. 1t is the one day of all
.ho year when people look forward to the
turkey dinner. Speaking of turkeys one
,,.rket man says he has orders booked
.,,-5 and will more than double the
,nmber before the day of roasting. So
.ot;np this case for illustration it may
10 safely said that perhaps 400 of these
torl will meet their doom Thanksgiving
day.
The first public Thanksgiving came in

February, which years after turned out
20 he the birthday of the4father of his

.bere was another Thanksgiving, and one

about every two years.
II did not always come in November, a.
II does now, and on a regular day in the
month. but skipped around, sometimes
being held in January, and sometimes in
,ugust. and sometimes in other months,
occording to the time when the colonists
thought they had most cause to be thank
ful for something.
In those earliest days you remember
there were no furnaces or steam radiators,
or stoves and all the funmaking on
THANKSGIVING day that was done indoors
had to be done in the great living room,
where the huge fireplace blazed and
cracklcd with it's great logs and piles of
undcrbrush, and the turkey roasted siz-

evening. The Howard Benevolent Union
will serve fine dinner to the poor people.
Henry &. Staples Camp, Sons of Veterans,
will hold a dance in Mconian hall the
prcyious evening. There will be turkey
rafIcs.
Pass up the street now and you will see
the markets arraycd with fowl of all
kinds. A marketman says no turkey can
be imported from any state that will equal
the native bird; that at home they are
dressed superior to any found outside.
The annual Thanksgiving service will
be held at the Free Baptist church next
Thursday morning, beginning at 1870
and closing promptly by 11.45 The ser

what the big bleached blonde, with a

REV. ]. G. scHMID.

We publish the following communica-
ton at the request of a number of citi-
sens;
Astoria, April 27, 1894
To the Editor of The Astorian: AS
there seems to be some difference of
opinion in regard to who would be a
proper candidate for superintendent of
schools, / would, with your permission,
also mention the name OF Rev. j. G.
Schmid, of Astoria. He is a man of
broad education, having been connected
with educational interests both in Eu-
rope and America, and l have no doubt
support Of our fellow-citizens of foreign
birth, as well as the good will OF all ma
tive Americans who have had the pleas
ure Of making an acquaintance with
that gentleman. He being a Swiss by
birth, and as such, we might say, a ma
live Republican, he had the privilege Of
the educational advantages Of the coun-
try which stands foremost on the Euro
pean continent in this respect and yet
thoroughly identified with American in
terests. having lived in the United
States nearly 25 years. Though engaged
IT present in missionary work among
the Germans on this Coast, the gen.
eral education and elevation OF the
masses has been his aim. As a Chris
tian you find him well disposed toward
all creeds, and as citizen tolerant
with all honest men and views. His
motto seems to be, IAN Of one Maker
and all for one country"
Some may object because Mr. Schmid
is not generally well known, but to this
would say, were not some Of the best
men at one time unknown? And some
of the very best had to be taken out of
their obscunty and put to their proper
positions, think of Cinclnnatus, who
was taken from the plow to command
an army. think of Washington, Lincoln
and Garfield. Let us as Republicans
have Republican principles, Yours very
truly, A REPUBLICAN,,

Life Among the Afshnns.

At the Royal Institution on Saturday MT. J. A. Gray gave his second lec- ture on Life Among the Afghans." MT. Gray began with an account of his journey to the Russian frontier to meet the Amir. The most striking objects he saw on the way seem to have been three colossal figures cut In the rock at Bamian. The largest of them is 173 feet in height, and their hollow in- teriors are used as storehouses for grain. At MaZar-i-Sherf he reached the Amir, stout, dark man of good presence, with a dignified and cour- teous manner. He is very accessible to his subjects, and will listen patiently to their petitions, even when tortured with gout, from which he suffers great deal. His method of dealing with murder is curious. Finding that hanging is no deterrent, he fines the family of the murderer so heavily as to ruin them, and leaves the culprit to the tender mercies of the dead mans friends.
 As surgeon to the Amir MT. Gray had to treat much malarial fever among the soldiers, many of whom were dying daily under the bleeding and low diet of the native doctors. The hospital was very large garden, and the patients were disposed on couches and rugs under the trees. MT. Gray had also to vaccinate Mohammed Omar, one of the Amir's sons. He is of royal descent on both sides, and is therefore treated rvit h al, T brother, Habbibulah, whose mother was not royal. Slaves are, as rule, treated well, and if they have beauty and abil- ity can rise to the highest positions. Their fall, however, is often very sud den. Sometimes it is due to miscon- duct, such as embezzlement when they are filling important posts, but it is often brought about by the machina- tions of enemies. Are these ups and downs the cause or the result of the moral condition of the Afghans? Does a man in office gather together riches by whatever he can because he knows his tenure is precarious, or is dishonesty inherent and ineradicable in the Af- ghan nature? The Amir thinks it is not inherent, and by pushing forward education and maintaining law and order among his people is doing his best to better their circumstances and their morals. The evils of despotism do, however, exist in the country; the poor are oppressed, and now that their at tention is not taken up with tribal wars they have time to think about their mis- fortunes. The lecture was illustrated with photographs.-Lond Times.

To be Given to the Poor To-Day.

A unique scene will probably be wit messed at Polls Wonderland to-day The immense pile of lumber, boards, scantling, sheathing and lathes that composed the interior of Wonderland and which has all been removed in view of the improvements in the build- ing will be given free gratis to the roor as kindling wood. Any needy person, through MT. Polls iberality, here has a chance of stocking up for the entire summer with kiqdling wood, to say nothing of some fine boards that may stop crevice during the winter. The distribution will commence at 8 o'clock this morning and will be con- tinued as long as a stick is left. People can carry it away as they please, in their arms, wheelbarrows, baskets or even express wagons. This immense pile of lumber is removed from Wonder land in order to give way to the vast improvements in the theater that are now under way.
