women and children have been at

alike. Danger seems to lurk every
where. The air is inhabited by VIC

monkeys, the fields abound with
snakes of many species, while in the
highways desperadoes and murderers
rove with ruthless abandon. No one
has been killed but narrow escapes
have been numerous. A delicate $50.

What the Markets Show

At this season the average Ameri-
can citizen feels himself called upon
to perform two duties: one to comply
with the proclamation of the President
of the United States and the Governor
of the State to- reverenty thank the
Giver of all good for the countless
blessings, and the other to meet in
family reunion and eat turkey, cram
berry sauce, etc.
Fine specimens Of the festive Ameri-
can fowl are to be found in the mar
kets today and the family that does
not have one tomorrow served IN the
good old fashioned way will not be
living up to the traditions OF the hoh-
day. The choice county raised fowl
was offered at Is cents a pound. Oi
counse others may be bought for cent
or two less a pound. but they are the
lean and dry fowls that have come
in srom the West They are in de
mand. however.
Il seems hardly natural to think Of
turkeys without cranberry sauce, ant
in spite of the reports that there vii
be only half the usual crop of berries
this year. there are plenty to be haG
for as low as 10 cents a quart Thii
price is not higher than usual. Then
is plenty OF choice celery and all thosi
other necessaries to the Thanksgiving
Day feast.

What Day Means to the Boy

Thanksglvin' is a time when every
body lets on to be thankful for what
they got and what they amt got.
Everybody lets on but boys and they
don't feel thankful for much of any
thing but holiday. 1 am thankful To
get a holiday so l can go gunnin' and
I am thankful I amt got a vaccina-
ton like the society editor. but if
had I wouldn't holler if anybody come
near me like she does. Lots of people
go to church on Thanksgivin Day and
lots more go to the Opera House and
football games. If there was no foot
ball I'd rather go to the Opera House
than to church because 1 can go to
church on Sundays. guess this is
all I know about Thanksgivin' only
wish it would come four times a year
instead of once.
