Thanksgiving day was observed at the
Catholic Orphan asylum by a general all
day holiday. The children enjoyed their
usual everyday palatable dinner, and
the morning and afternoon were devoted
to the little ones having good time,
which they did with all their merry
hearts. The playground rang with laugh
tor and shouts OF glee, and books and
routine duty were relegated to the back
ground. Children having relations were
allowed to visit them at their different
homes, but those who remained behind
seemed not to feel the want of change.

Through the efforts of Jailer Siewekie
the prisoners in the city Jail were
treated to a. Thanksgiving dinner yester-
day. 1t was a spread that would have
done credit to professional caterer, and
the inmates of the prison did entire JUS
tioe to what as set before them.
Every body was fed, from the old time
who are serving 300 days to the fellows
who were thrown in over night Tor being
drunk. AS usual thing the man who
is gathered in by the vigilant officer a nd
bundled into the patrol wagon and from
there locked up in the drunk cell, think s
that he has been playing in hard luck,
and he is generally correct. But those
who we're in Jail yesterday for this often Sc
felt that fort une had not smiled so darkly
on them after all. In fact when they sat
down to the table and saw the many
good things that hospitabie Captain
Sewekle had provided they were rather
glad they had come, even though it had
been against their original desire.
Mr.. Siewekie's big heart has long since
become immortal to those who know him,
and the treat OF yesterday with which he
provided his lambs proved this to many
strangers. 1t was au illustration of the
popular saying that you can't keep
good thing down, ana as a result OF the
captains efforts TO please the boys his
fame will be scattered broadcast over the
land, for there is a Free Masonry among
hobos when it comes to the best places to
get something TO eat
In the first place the long table was
tatste1ully decorated with smany flowers
provided by Captain Slewekie's pretty
vile, and as q Centerplece was mon

Then there was the more solid thing
in the shape OF the menu. 1t was as fol-

saLce, celery, mashed potatoes, apple
sauce. vegetables cake, nuts, fruit, bread
butter and small black or Il big cup of
coffee, az the diner desired. In addition
TO this each OF the men wasproyided with
q cigar after the meal TO remind them OF
better days when they were in luck and
things were coming their way. Mr.. ker-
kow OF the Vienna buffet gave the cigars.
The table sea ted twenty four at a time,
and as no less than llO men were to be
fed, the meal was long drawn ont and the
si.tines held III crews Those who went
first were the men doing the heaviest sen

them came the thirty day men, ana then
