those which contained a member of

year ago the boys spent their Thanks

contrast with that experienced here
Thursday, being fair. bright and warm.
The memories of Company H members
were drawn back to their nksgivins
of a year ago and the contrasts noted.
Yesterday they We're with their loved
ones at home, and year ago among
strangers in almost foreign country.
Their Thanksgiving dinners of a year

BUSTED THE DEVIL.

The devil once bargained for
the soul Of q young man, the
devil agreeing to furnish all the
money the young man could
spend, and if he didn't spend it
as it came in his soul was to be
forfeited. For several years the
young man managed to keep
ahead Of the game by wine, wo-
man, and fast horses, but finally
the devil sent him a tremendous
sum which seemed impossible to
spend, the young man as q last
resort, started a newspaper. AT
the end Of the first three months
the devil began to howl, ct the
end Of six months he was savage,
at the end Of nine months he was
furious. and at the end Of the
year he owned up that he was
broke. The paper went up, but
the soul Of the young man was
saved. Exchange.

TO RID THE BARN OF RATS.

Take a tight barrel or keg, fill
it a foot or 80 deep with water,
tie a stout paper over the barrel
and place any bait that will at.
tract them to the place. Place a
board from floor to top of barrel,
let them have free access to bait
for a few nights, then cut across
it in middle of paper large enough
to admit a rat; then suspend a
boiled meat skin, potato, or any
bait, by a string to within one OF
two inches of center of cross. In
attempting to get bait the rat will
fall through and be drowned. To
get rid of cut worms, take pieces
of newspaper 6 inches square,
cut slit to center and slip around
plants and place dirt or pebbles
on corners to hold them down.

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds OF men en-.
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings weekly profit Of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling Of daily papers. Hun.
dreds Of families live comfortably
on the profits Of the sale Of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with tho boys is the Post.
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies Of the
daily Post. Dispatch than the
combined sales of the two other
English evening papers.
One Of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and go when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way Of "crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite differen
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six O'Clock the boys and mon are
out in search Of buyers.
There are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 300
papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all
he can do to get over the ground.
