The Old Way.

We have no record of Just how the Puri-
tans' Thanksgiving tables were set, but
from contemporaneous pictures we can
judge there were few If any forks, each
guest being supplied with knife They
sat on benches and chests, ate from pewter
platters, and the table was in most cases
literally board placed ON wooden horses
They had few chairs or tables, but were
plentifully supplied with chests contain
ing their linen and wardrobes, and these
served in the place of chairs. In later CO.
lonial times chairs and tables became more
plentiful, and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on account of the dangerous sharp steel
point of the two pronged forks. The ia
bic and dishes were arranged as follows:

NOTICED THIS BEFORE.
You Probably Have and May Have Spoken
Oft.

The reader of this newspaper, if he
takes the time and trouble to look care
fully through its columns, will probably
find half dozen statements tackled onto
the foot of reading notices about medicin-
al preparations. Note this fact: In each
and every case as far as Owosso is con-
cerned, as far as the readers knowledge
of the party is concerned, one might just
as we'll live in the moon. Make another
note of this: The only. remedy on the
market which gives testimony at home,
local proof in every city and town in the
Union to back up its claims, is Doan's
Kidney Pills. They all try it, but they
cannot do it, Why they are unable do it
can safely be left with the reader to draw
his own conclusions. Here is Owosso
proof for Owosso readers:
Mr. w. HI. Richards, of Mulberry st.,
just outside the city limits, says: 81 was
afflicted with kidney complaint for some
years, and had such soreness and lame
ness through my loins and kidneys that
that was unable to walk upright, but
had to crawl vbout at times on my hands
and knees. 1 suffered from catarrhal
condition of the bladder also, and the
kidney secretions were irregular, distress
ing and annoying. If I attempted to lift
anything or to stoop over, l was repaid

children and Thanksgiving.

Gratitude is not a virtue of childhood.
1t has been defined as a lively sense of IA
vors to come and children seldom trouble
themselves to look far into the future.
They accept what is done for them or CIV
on to them as a right, natural conse-
quence of their relations to those about
them. Accustomed to be dependent, the
thought of making return for what they
receive does not readily occur to them.
1t may be suggested to them, and Thanks
giving, with all Its associations, seems to
be peculiarly fitting occasion for the at

NO TURKEY FOR THEM.
The College Athletes Denied That
Detachable Dish.

Detachable Dish.
To the students of the hundreds of
American colleges Thanksgiving is the
important day of the year.
1t is not a day for turkey and cranbert
ries. 1t is the day for athletics-the time
forNhe big gridiron game of the season.
If the game is to be played on the home
campus, there is hurry and excitement
there. In the morning the team Is being
put through light signal practice on the
athletic field. The college boy who cares
for the sport only as 'rooter" is primp-
ing in his room in the dormitory, for In
his line he is as much q "star" as a play
or. Lunch at noon Is devoured with
gulp, and usually consists of "a wafer and
q cup of chocolate prepared over student
lamp in his room. There is plenty of
time for course dinner after the game.
For days before Thanksgiving the col
lege postoffioe Is the center of attraction.
Every piece of mail, as it is sorted, is anx-
iously watched, for the Thanksgiving 're-
mittance" from home is important. 1t
means tickets for the game, chrysanthe-
NUNS for the "girl, a 'rooter's" horn and
maybe a box of chocolates to be nunched
on the tallyho or in the grand stand.
The poor boy, the "grind," who comes
to study and not for the social side of col
lege life, is not in as high spirits. He
does not take the butterfly interest in the
festivities like his richer classmate. He
takes tickets at the gate, acts as usher or
fills some other busy office, and for this
service sees the game for nothing.
Should the game be played away from
the college the arrangements for it are
different The "grind" then becomes
'lonely" and stays at home while the
others go to the game The dorhitory
seems to him never to have been so big
and lonesome before. Maybe he goes to
the depot to see the boys "off." Maybe
he plays on his guitar or talks on scientific
subjects in another 'lonely' room, but
he does not go to the game. But there is
small pleasure In the diversion, and he
usually buries his feelings in study.
Away from the college the students
Thanksgiving dinner is eaten at hotel
In true dormitory style, with the usual
bantering and noisy laughing. At home
1t is taken at the dormitory or college
boarding house, and whether or not 1t is
joyous feast depends on the result Of the
game.
For the student the day holds more of
pleasure than any other day in the year
and is looked forward to with consuming
interest.

SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID IN
CREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not he Alarmed, But Look For tho
Cause.

Heart troubles at least among Ameri-
cans are certainly increasing, and while
This may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, II is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
or. poor digestion .,,.
Int not one case in hundred OF heart

Fhe close relation between heart trou-
t,Je and moor digestion IS because both or
ysns are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the sympathetic and

In another way also the heart is af-
fecteS bv that form Of poor digestion
-rhich causes gas and fermentation from

Poor digestion also potsons the plood,

Mr.. DUFAULT's BENEFIT,
A Large Audience Attends His Last Con
cert in Pilgrim Church.

A church and a semi-sacred concert
are not perhaps the most fortunate
auspices under which one can take his
farewell of an assembly of attached
and admiring friends, but little things
like this did not prevent the farewell
concert of Mr.. p. c. w. Dufault in Pill
grim Church last night, from being the
hearty godspeed that it ought to have
been. Mr.. Dufault mas sung in Pilgrim
Church choir just a year and month,
so that it was rather a case OF Ave
atque Vale.
The audience numbered between 500
and 300 persons. AS much enthusiasm
was shown as comported with the dig
nifty of the sacred edifice, and after Mr..
Dufault's last song it reached the di-
mansions of a triple recall.
Mr.. Dufault had the assistance of
some of the most popular of Worcester
singers: Mrs. Lillian Hanson Gray,
Mrs. Dorothy Miller, Mr. Harry c.
Robinson, Mr.. Regis Cloutier, the Pill
grim Church quartet, and Miss Ruth
E. Nelson and Mr.. ]. Vernon Butler as
accompanies on the piano and organ
respectively.
Mr.. Robinson sang Gounod's melo-
dramatic Easter Eve" in particu-
larly impressive manner with violin
obligato and organ and piano accom-
paniment, Mrs. Miller sang Allitsen' s
1.-THE Lord is my light in a way to
give sincere pleasure to the audience.
Mr.. Cloutier gave a pretty reading of a
dainty, humorous fantasia by Lalo.
Mrs. Gray barely did herself justice.
Two numbers We're given by the Pill
grim Church quartet, composed of Mrs.
Mitchell Mrs. Miller Twice Mrs. Louise
Shumway Heron), Mr.. Dufault and
Mr.. Potter-the last time Mr.. nufault
will be heard in the choir, as he leaves
for New York within a few days, to
study music.
Mr. Dufault, as luck would have it,
was suffering from a cold which pre-
vented him from singing Graniers
"Hosanna," with which he was cred
tied on the program, and he substituted
for it by request Adams "HoIy CITY,
which he sang on his first Sunday at
Pilgrim Church, and also on his last
Sunday. Even a cold could not shroud
the fine qualities of his voice, its flex-
Utility, its range, its capacity for ex~
preston. For his second solo he sang
