Thanksgiving Day
Hf tie From

'Thanksgivin' day in 1S99," said the
company of the Fortieth infantry in u
little bamboo Luzon town about three
days hike from Manila. 1t wasn't the
snowy, log g-fire-burnin' -the-earth sort
| of Thanksgivin' weather you read
about. In fact, it was pretty burned
hot, but that didn't keep the boys from
dreamin' six hours ut night about tur-
key and cranberry sauce and those
kind of things and homesicker lot
of gugu chasers you never saw. If
we'd got chance ut the amigos you
bet we'd have taken it out on them all
right, but there wasn't nothin' doin'
except to sit around and think about
our old Kentucky homes or wherever
our homes happened to be.
"There was Il hot line Of excitement,
l can tell you, when a couple Of days
before Thanksgivin' wagon came out
from Manila with some extra grub the
old man had thought Of sendin' to us
poor guys out there on the firm line
ana box from Gods country for one
of the boys who used to live in Yer
mont before he run away to fight.
His old ma must have roasted that
turkey along about the Fourth of July
to get 1t to him by Thanksgivin', ana
1t WINS drier N burnt bone. But, just
the same. Bill was the popular gagabo
all right, and there wasn't n man in
the company that wasn't shinin' up to
him to get bid to chew on that dried
up turk. The captain dropped q few
hints about how the officers mess
would like little piece Of the bird
but Bill wouldn't take hint If house
fell on him.
"Well, Thanksgivin' day come, and
few of the fellows in Bill's platoon was
just sittin' down to the festive board
when we heard Il shot. and some one
yells 'Gugu" We all jumps for our
guns and gets out In hurry just
as the captain is detaiin' gang to
reconnoiter 1t was kind of funny
that every man in our party was in
the scoutin' squad. but we was that
excited we didn't think nothin about
II at the time We didn't get smell
of any gugu, and, thipkin about that
turk, we hiked back to camp. AS soon
as we'd reported we made for Bills
tent. but the turk had few the coop.
l don't know where 1t flew to. but l
did see wishbone hangin' up in the
captains tent the next time was on
orderly service"

1T has been quite a while since YOU
heard from us, though it is not our
fault.
"Our Society is still living; in fact,
it has taken on new life. We are few
in number and seldom have a full meet
ing. We have lost six members in the
last few years, five by death and one
by removal.
Notwithstanding all this, our pledges
are still the same $40 to Home Missions
and $40 to Foreign Missions.

in various other ways we raise the money
for 'Where there's WILL there's a
way.' We should like to hear from
other Societies. Think they could give
some information that would be of value
to US.

both meetings. Mr.. Browns subjects
were, "Our Duty to Our Pastor" and
'The Pastors Duty to His People,"
The congregation was very much
pleased with the manner in which these
two young men discharged their duties.
They are noble, promi@ing young men,
and we know of few WHO could be of
more service to our church. They both
can pray in public and when God wants
thing done He always sets men to
praying. This is ever the order of
progress in the divine kingdom. Moses
prayed and Amalek was defeated;
Samuel prayed and the Philistines fled.
There is great power in prayer.
Last, but not least, our pastor, Rev.
9. M. Boyd, is giving us some first
class preaching. 1t is 'like the dew
upon the mown grass and like showers
upon the thirsty fields" Church .nem-

condition. His whole soul seems to be
thrown into His work, and may God
accompany the Word with His Holy

This is not gentle word-but when

chase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing its great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are so
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for
severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Group and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing

is nothing like German Syrup. The 25
