Letter Carriers Narrow Escape.

E. L. Pond, letter carrier for the bust
ness part of the town, met with what might
have been a serious accident a few days
ago. He was on his rounds among the
mills "under the hill" attempting to pass
between a train standing on the track OF
the international Paper company and the
paper mill of Moore d Thompson, when
the train started and rolled him between
the car and the mill. He attempted to
stoop under the edge of the car, but his
pouch hindered him from that. A brake
man discovered him and signalled the en-
gneer to stop. He was bruised but not
seriously injured, and has been about his
duties.

A Game For Thanksgiving.

A potato race is a good game to aid
the digestion of the Thanksgiving din
ner. Take ten good clean potatoes, as
round as possible, two vegetable dishes
and two tablespoons. Place the pota-
toes in two parallel rows of five each,
three feet apart, leaving n broad space
between the rows. Place a vegetable
dish at the head Of each row. Divide
the company into two squads and equip
each leader with spoon. Appoint q
timekeeper to keep tally.
When time is called, each leader darts
down his respective line, the object be-
ing to gather up the potatoes, one at a
time, on the spoon, without touching
them with the hands, and to carry
them TO the dish and place them in it.
The one who finishes first wins the
prize, and the next in line gets the
spoon. BY the time that all have gone
through the experience considerable
hilarity has developed and all have a
voice in the fun.

Old Time Thanksgiving Dinners.

A Thanksgiving dinner some 80 or
40 years ago would in all probability
have consisted of the following dishes:
Roast turkey, with rich gravy or sauce:
chicken pie. cold roast pig, mashed
potatoes and turnips, boiled onions,
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie. mlnce
pie, baked Indian pudding, cider and
coffee. Sometimes oysters would be
added to the list of dishes. but in the
interior section Of the country these
were not easy to procure. and it was
the same with celery. 1t was not an
unusual thing for the boys Of the fam
lily to travel % miles to procure celery
for the Thanksgiving dinner Nuts,
raisins and fruit were generally re-
served for the evening. the midday
diners concerning themselves for the
most part with the more substantial
turkey and "fixin's" so termed.
