THE
ZsPlDER'S
a4gREE7
49,
HoRTLY before
Thanksgiving Mr..
Slawson won q tur-
key at a rattle and
brought it home to
fatten for the coming
- festival. The entire
household followed him to the back
yard, where he tied the bird by n leg
to q clothes post and proceeded to build
4 small coopi in the fence corner, While
the rest of the family stood around
hindering Mr.. Slawson's work by max
ing suggestions and by laughing at him
when he struck his thumb with the
hammer, the two boys, Fred and Rob-
bic, were engaged in making the ac-
q~uaintance of the turkey. Robbie, the
younger, was for naming him Dan, aft
er the g~rocer.s boy who took him for
rides, but Fred stoutly maintained that
the honor would better beft Uncle
George, who had red Whiskers. Mr..
Slawson settled the matter by saying,
with a wink at his wife. that the tur-
keys name was Dennis.
During the soft. summary days which
followed-for in Savannah the Novem-
4 bersun shines warmly-Fred and Rob-
bic spent most of their time at the
coop, feeding Dennis with whatever
came to their hands, and soon the ac-
.quaintance ripened into comradeship.
The turkey became as n OF them-a
playfellow. Then the next door neigh
boris boy climbed upon the fence and
asked:
When you going to kill him T.
xiii who??n
THE turkey"
What'd we kill him for.
For Thanksgiving. Amt you going
to eat him?'
The idea! Eat Dennis!
But after Fred and Robbie had gone
to bed the night before Thanksgiving
they their mother call out softly
over the banister:
.Sam, are you going to kill the tur-
key tonight?"
No." Mr.. Slawson's answer came
from below. I'll do it in the morn
ing.
Then there was a. lot Of tremulous
whispering under the bedclothes In
the up stairs back room. and when all
b lights had been put out two little
figures ia white scrept from the win
dow to the shed roof and clambered
down the treI1is Dennis was soon tied
securely by one leg under the broad
front porch and the two little figures
ID white c1ambered up the trellis and
crept stealthiiy in ut the window.
The next morning Mr.. slaWson went
TO the back yard with the Ratchet in his
haad. But he SOC came back. saying
unprintable things about the g
ace IN general and about turkey
stealing niggers' In particular. And
the worst of it was Mrs. Slawson add
ed Ia her mild, resigned way:
" I knew you ought to Eill it
last night
But il was thought Thanksgiving
could not be duly celebrated without
turkey. SO after much OF the morning
had been spent otherwise than In Civ
ing thanks, Fred was posted OFF to the
market with Instructions to make all
possible haste. Robbie, who feared to
be left at home alone with the dreadful
secret cried to go, too, but Mrs. Slaw-
son knew her boys.
No" said she, sif you both went,
there's no telling when you'd he back

ing down the back street-for he really

PRIVATE aUALLs REMOVED.
Commissioners Act on the RccOm-
mendntiOn of the Superintendent.

The case of Private Qualls, of the Met
ropolitan police force, charged with con-
duct unbecoming an officer, and found
guilty of the charge as preferred at the
examination before the trial officer, ex-
cept in one count of the charges, has been
before the Commissioners for several days
past for consideration.
In reporting CI:,n the case to the Com
missioners the Superintendent OF Police
stated that the testimony before the trial
officer showed that the actions Of Private
Qualls were such as to bring disgrace upon
the police force and cause good citizens
to mistrust him. The Superintendent fur
ther says that he is satisfied that the Off
GERS usefulness has ceased, and circum-
stances show that he would be an unsafe
man to retain in his present position. Con-
tinuing. Major Sylvester says:
During his connection with the force
Private Qualls has been given every con-
sideration and afforded every opportunity
to mako himself a useful employe. and, in
my opinion, the several warnings given
him have not had the good effect expected.
His actions on the occasion referred 10
caused comment and gossip derogatory to
the good name of the force, and when con-
sdered in conn ection with his record,
think, furnish good and sufficient grounds
for his removal from the force. which |
recommend to take effect June 90. 1900"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation of the Superintendent. and
an order will be issued in accordance

A MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL.
Woman Writes to the Comm issior

A Woman Writes to the COmmis sion.
ers Concerning the Need of II.
Under date of June IS. Mrs. H. H. Har-
ris. of 81 H Street northwest, writes to thu
Commissioners relative to the need of q
municipal hospital. She says her atter tior
was called to the matter by report pub
lished in The Times OF the way In which
a woman was treated by the hospitals, in
being refused admission TO two of them
and finding refuge In a third. Mrs. Harris
states that she was treated in a similar
manner during an illness from which she
suffered.
After paying out all her money and hav-
ing no relatives to go to. and not beirg
able TO work, the nature of her malady
forcing her TO take the step, she applied
she says. to every hospital in Washington
except the Freedmen's. Continuing, she
writes:
Il could not gain admittance to any OF
them. and as my case was getting desper-
ate ] sent for the physician TO the poor and
stated the case to him. He drove in h s
carriage to the Garfield Memorial Hosp tai,
told them my case, and informed them that
] must be taken in. The result was that /
was admitted, and in about three weeks
was able TO leave and go to work.
nave iO 10 WUdl e
poor Of this city suffer, many Of them be-
ing people who are worthy, and If they
could have attention when they are first
taken i'll, would soon be able to resume
work
Mrs. Harris then explains to the Commits
sioners that she has sister epsndent
upon Ter who is i'll with an incurable NAL
ady. who would be left helpless if she
should die or be discharged from her pres
ent position. Mrs. Harris states that she
would be able to enter her sister at some
hospital and pay a small sum each week
for her care, but that she is not able to
meet the requirements along this line Of
any hospital in Washington. She is forced
by the necessities OF the case to care for
her sick relative as best she can, without
the aid of skilled treatment, because she
Is unable 10 pay the cost of it. Mrs. Harris
thinks her ease another proof OF the need
Of municipal hospital to afford care for
the poor people of Washington. She urges
the Commissioners to use everT means in
their power to establish the ins; itut on
which she thinks is sorely needed.

structiOn in Florida Avenue.
]. C. Ellis, NJ. D., of 1917 X Street north
west. has written to the Commissioners to
say that he was granted permission a few
days ago by the Health Department to
rope off X Street, between Eighteenth and
Nineteenth Streets. He states that since
this was done expressmen continually re-
move the ropes, drive in to deliver goods,
etc, keeping up such noises as to disturb
the patient for whom the permit was
granted. DR.. Ellis then asks that the po-
lice at No. precinct be notified and given
instructions to see that the ropes are not
further disturbed.
In reporting upon the matter to the
Commissioners DR.. Woodward. the Health
Officer, says that in view of the fact that
the obstruction to the street referred to
is without authority in law, he knows of
no means by which persons can be pre-
vented from removing the same at pleas
ure.
The Commissioners have approved the
report of the Health Officer and il is ex-
pected that DR.. Ellis will be informed in
accordance Herewith.
