THANKSGIVING has rolled around and
IL Captain Turkey knew his business
he'd hoist his wings and sail TO other
parts, or he might as the tabled "frog'
remind us that what is pleasure to us is
death to him, but we were told TO slay
and eat and we might as well feast ON
his turkeyship as other things. A gener-
al thanksgiving from the nations heart
must be acceptable, but we hope, little
readers, you will not imagine that its the
only day in the year which thanks are
due. Thousands offer daily thanks for
benefits and perhaps there are thousands
who know nothing of gratitude whose
lives are as mass of impudence so to
speak, in the eyes of the Infinite. Doubt
less the greater part of blessings come
to us in disguise, the heart revol;s and
wesometimes to our sorrow have our own
way. Why, we once read of little
child that was calmly passing away
the angels were waiting and watching
to wing its spirit to the land of eternal
bliss-the unfortunate mothers heart
was touched and she asked for any other
affiictiou that the child might be spared.
The child recovered. and the result, met
his fate upon the gallows tree reproach-
ing the mother in his last words. And
there is such thing, little readers, rs
losing what we SO much desire after it
is obtained, which often turns to advan-
tage. We have further read of q little
fellow whose greatest ambition was to
possess dollar of his own He thought
il he had that much to call his own he'd
be as rich as Croesus, and would feel
about as big. At length his wish was
gratified by some kind friend, but for
lack of precaution his wealth soon DIS
appeared in game with his playmates.
He searched in vain for his lost treasure;
seized with fit of despair, he exclaim-
ed: Oh, wish had not wanted the
dollar and there'd be none of it. 1t was
blessing in disguise for the boy, made
him prudent and careful man. Some
WnCIG uONu Au O0htuCEu mar I1tauu tuht
man is located, has means and knows
how TO take care of it. Put that in your
pipe, little readers, ard smoke it. We
won't advocate smoking for the danes
but we would advise resignation.
Well, what's the news? Bouquets to
burn. Thanks to the giver. Xmas goods
on the way. Craddock On top. Teach
ers awaiting Joy amidst the Public
schools. One horse race on Saturday
last-McKay winner. A few meteors

Well, little friends, this is about as
near shorthand as know how to get

Blanche Moore, fifteen years old, who
ran away from her parents house, No.
7l5 9TH street, southeast, Washington,
d. c., two weeks ago, was caught at
Charlotte Hall, st. Mary's county, Nd,
Friday, and restored to her parents Sat-
urday. The little girl was found with
the Reh Specially Company, which has
been giving vaudeville shows at the small
towns in Southern Maryland.
Several months ago Blanche made up
her mind to leave the city and join a the
atrical company, but she was prevented
by her parents Two weeks ago she
managed to get away before they knew
of her intention.
Inspector Boardman was asked TO find
her, and Friday he sent kilograms to
Prince Georges, Charles and st. Mary's
counties, asking the authorities to look
out for her.
Deputy Sheriff William w. Ware was
at La Plata when the telegram was re-
ceived. and knowing the company was
to play at Chaptico, Friday night, he
drove twenty-five miles to investigate,
and, as stated. found Blanche with the
troupe. When he placed her under ar
rest she objected TO returning home, and
told the officer she would kill herself
rather than come with him. A number
of men at Charlotte Hall also objected
TO the action of the deputy sheriff, and
threatened TO take her from him. They
finally permitted him to leave, and he
drove back TO La Plata with the girl,
where she was kept over night. They
came here on the morning train. and the
girl was restored to her parents. Her
father, John G. Moore. is employed in
the navy yard = Washington Star.
