GIVE THANKS
TOMORROW
THE MARKET REGION OF PARK
STREET IS IN HOLIDAY
ATTIRE TODAY.
TEMPTING ROWS OF
GOOD THINGS DISPLAYED.
Everything Points to a General and
Joyous Observance Of the Day
by the People Of Butte.

Tomorrow is the day celebrated by
custom as Thanksgiving, the day when
everybody should render thanks for
something or other. This is not meant
for the eye Of a turkey, because he'll get
it in the neck, and his best friends would
not lose any time trying to explain to
him that he should accept his fate with
fortitude because he shakes neck with
the AK in a good cause.
There may be some who will not be in
a humor for returning thanks tomorrow.
This is their Karma, and they'll be just
as happy in the end if they accept their
lot with fortitude and don't go around
telling everybody they meet that the day
came at the wrong time.
When our forefathers celebrated their
first Thanksgiving on the bleak shores Of
New England the sights that met their
gaze We're slightly different from that
may be seen in the same region today.
For that matter, go Down and view the
shops IN Park street and you'll see a
few things in the edible line that would
have made the mout of even a stern
Puritan water.
The market region of Park street is IN
holiday attire, a garment of m all
ready for the oven. Large, medium and
small-sized turkeys are hung In tempt
ing rows in front Of every establishment.
Some are dressed, some are half dressed
and others are exposed to the chilly at
mosphere with no dresses at all. Then
there are ducks and chickens. sides OF
beef and mutton. certain kinls of game
and nice young pigs with their fore feet
piously crossed in mutely thankful
spirit. Lucullus himself couldn't find
any faul with the selection of food
stuffs from which one nay choose tor q
Thanksgiving dinner in Butte tomorrow.
1t is said that Butte will use about
seven tons of the poultry product of
Kansas and Nebraska this week. Even
Missouri has been invaded by the hosts
of the butcher knife. AS for Missouri
pie" an excellent imitation can be OBJ
tanned right in this city. All kinds of
fruits and vegetables AVE been imported
in abundant quantities for Thanksgiv-
ing. One West Park street dealer mas
even gone 81 far Us to procure a large
number of winter muskmelons.
The game laws forbid prairie chickens,
quails and venison either to be imported
or sold. OF course, Butte is a law-abid-
ing community but If anybody should
wander into some establishment and hnd
that some law-breaker from another
state had dropped his ill-gotten Spots
and chased his feet around tine corner in
a franti effort to dodge the game war
den, he might succeed in getting quails--
wooden ones, perhaps-home for about
$3.50, or a trifie more. per dozen.
Let Jupiter smash mis- snow tank and
scatter the contents all over the state;
let Aeolus turn the north wind loose to
play pranks with populistic whiskers;
let the earth M a few solar plexus
blows On some of the Leonids that have
been lodging the telescopes of the scien-
titic observatories for more than twos
years-the residents of Butte and vicin-
ity will observe Thanksgiving properly to-
morrow. They ave much to be Thankful.
