The Thanksgiving day ex- ercises at Chilocco have been duplicated by number of minor Indian schools throughout the Southwest. and all are satisfied with the results.
 The first Thanksgiving at which In- dians participated in this country, acc cording to the well known chronicier, Edward Winslow, took place in 1621, ten months after the landing of the Pil- grims, when, the crops being garnered, they felt spring up within their hearts feeling of praise and thanksgiving. They dispatched a messenger to invite Massasoit, sagamore of the Wampanoags, and ninety of his warriors to attend th0 celebration, which lasted almost a week. On the appointed Thursday Massasoit and his warriors arrived. and the little settlement gave the Indians. a hearty welcome. Soon the drum called them to religious service: then came a period of feasting and recreation. Athletic sports were indulged in, and the little army of twenty men. under the leader ship of Miles Standish, went through It's drill and manual of arms. Then followed the great feast, which was served in the open air.

Aunt Tiny Phelps and
 Her DenOminatiOnal Garden

had sprang into maturity. These she or fered for the modest sum of $10 apiece.
 I saw at once that Aunt Tiny was now devoting as much time to those "strad- dle-bug" quilts, as she laughingly called them. as to her famous garden, and that her love of nature was but one spoke in her wheel. In fact she acknowledged that this was now her only means If support-the sale of her quilts, her pho tograph and that of her garden. and her history in rhyme, which she recltes for her guests and then passes the hat.
 If one contributes to her box. marked foreign missions, or buys a photograph, then one receives a generous bouquet from the garden. Being a Louisvillian I was especially anxious to know just hoy Miss Hogan. now Mrs. Rice, found Aunt Tiny's garden.
 Well" said Aunt Tiny, there's how it happened. I was sitting on the porch one day when a strange lady came to the gate and asked me if she could come in. I showed her round the garden and told her about my denominational flower beds. and she said, would you mind if I put that in Q book% and said. No, indeed; go along. Ycu. can't hurt me" And that's the last have seen of Miss Hegdn. 1 never read the book till all my friends were talking. about 1t; and some of them being Methodtsts. like myself, came over to tell me that we were all in it-Metho- dlsts like myself and what was in my garden.
 '.'Then, after a while. some one lent me the book, and, what do you think, sine left out the Jews! And everybody knows they were first and kept the records and the Commandments for all the rest of us Why. I think it was a shame to treat my peoples, corn flowers and larkspur that way! When they are the brightest of all the flowers and are self-seeding-once planted, always planted; no trouble to raise. and you can't down them. They will monopolize garden, just like the Jews did commerce.; they 'ain't no trou- ble,' cause they stay out all winter and you can't kill them. I've hlled out. hum dreds of copies of 'Lovey Mary that have ben sent to me, by writing about the Jews on the fly leaves; but I notice that the last edition of them don't begin to have as many fly leaves as the first.

 Men working with the right hand mainly are obliged to support themselves mainly on the left leg. This leg, thus doing more than It's brother, grows big ger. and longer and stronger. It Is em- phatically the leg of the two. and on 1t therefore. the main business of the body falls"

 "To be sure have" was the rejoinder, Another proof, too. would He in the measurement of legs and feet. The left rule little longer and a little stouter than the right ones.

Where Xmas Toys Come From.

Jerome Case Bull. in Christmas Lippin-
 cott's.
 The stage to Boulder was coming down tho grade. Heaving and rocking on a grinding. scraping brake, with changing of harness chains ahead and no little pro- fanity within, the old coach was making time. for 1t was Christmas Eve and Bill had dropped precious moments along the way in greetings. It was dark, so dark that Tennessee, the only passenger with in, saw nothing anywhere save the half imagined, half-shadowed trunks of giant redwoods filling the blackness about him and filing silently up the road as the stage rolled down.
 At the foot of the grade the road turn ed out of the mountains and the darkness and crossed a level bit of country which lay clear and white in the moonlight. At the foot of the grade 1t was too that the stage came to halt. With a final shriek of torture. the brake grappled the huge wheels there was an extra jang ling of chains, then a definite cessation of all motion and absolute stiffness.
 Tennessee gathered himself together and looked out-and so continued to look exactly as the impulse of the moment directed. For the impulse of that espe- cial moment was a business-like individ- . ual, very black and sinister from the AAOOhh bps SAdAAlhS Sii SHC DeNAAAA eNAN VI dering. Certain things about the man were unpleasantly assertive. His arm. held straight out before him, seemed of abnormal length and pointed ray of moonlight threatingly at Tennessee. The voice, too, in word and tone, courted no barley, admitted of no delay-even advis- ed dispatch in compliance with its own CTS very politely suggestive desires.
 Bill, easily, slowly, as though hold up was an everyday affair, very na- tural part of his business-which. indeed, in years gone by it had been-threw off the Wells Fargo box and the mall and awaited further orders.
 ''The parcels. if you please" said the voice.
 A collection of small bundles tied to- gether with a rope tumbled into the road.
 It was to these parcels alone that the man on the bank gave his attention. He ordered the stags-driver to cut the rope and empty them into the road, then to read the addresses on the various pack ages Of some half-dozen that bore the name of Tennessee he directed that a bundle should be made and thrown up to him on the bank.

INDIAN THANKSGIVING
Poncas' Beef Issuo Day-Exercises at
 Native Schools.

New York Tribune.
 The interest in Thanksgiving day and its observance is just as intense these days among the reservation Indians as in college towns where great football games are scheduled to occur. Espec- tally is this true in the Southwest, where the Indians have had an opportunity to become thoroughly civilized of late years. The white people find no more en- joyment in this day of universal cheer than do these same dusky redskins.
 It is q day of fasting, playing and gaming, with big dance at night Such sport only comes once a year to them nowadays. when they have had to for sake the scalping knife for the plough. Their wild nature revolted at the idea of work. and it has been with much diff ficulty that the government agents have made farmers out of the young braves. A day of rest and amusement is consid- cred good for their better nature. and the government authorities are willing that Thanksgiving day shall become festal time for the reservation wards of the nation.
 The Kiowas and Comanches. who not long ago were placed on allotments. will have forsaken many of their wild plans of amusement this Thanksgiving. owing to the fact that they have been cut off the free list of beef issues. They have arranged to draw grass money on Thanks giving, and a goodly portion of this will be spent in purchasing food for a grand feast. At night they will take part In green corn dance, at which thanks will be offered to the Great Spirit for the good crops which they have had the last season. The spirit of thankfulness per vades the Indian celebrations.
 The Osages hold a big feast at Paw huska, their capital city. All members of the tribe are Invited to take part in the festivities. At the beginning and end of each meal-and there are many-the aged missionary who lives among them is invited to deliver a short prayer, thanking the Great Spirit for the good things which the agent has sent them.

New Plant Here is Now Turning Out
Product

Mr.. r. F. Sans, one of the fficials
of the Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.
former citizen of Americus and most
genial gentleman, was IN the city yes
terday. While here Mr., Sans took a
look at the company's splendid new
plant, recently completed, and was
highly pleased in every particular. The
Americas plant is one of the finest and
best equipped in the South, and under
the very efficient management of Supt,
Norman @. Pike will be maintained at
a high standard. The factory, which
has capacity of 10000 tons fertilizer
annually,is now being operated on full
time and turning out carloads of stand
ard goods. Throughout the buildings
and grounds the equipment is the best
that money could buy The company's
water supply of half million gallons
daily, and obtained from a lake on it's
property, enhances the value of the
plant no little, 1t is one of the impor-
tant industries not only of Americus
but of this portion of Georgia as we'll,
representing an expenditure of over
$3.50, 900.

WILL SETTLE WITH VETERANS
Teachers and Veterans to Receive
Their Money.

State School Commissioner Merritt
is now preparing to send out the bal
anoe of the school money for 1902
The warrants on the state treasury are
being gotten in shape, and they will
probably be signed up today or tomor
row. BY Saturday the state treasurer
will have made out checks and they
will be mailed at once.
Checks cannot be sent, however, to
those counties which have sent in no
itemized statements, and they will, of
course, have to wait.
Each county will receive in it's
check this time school money for the
last two months of 1902, and the total
to be paid out is about $60O,U00.
As soon as the treasurer gets through
with this work the payment of pen
sions will begin. Pension Commits
sioner Lindsey has been engaged for
some days in preparing the pension
vouchers, and he will be ready to dis
tribute them in few days to the or
dinaries of the 1877 counties of Georgia
who will in turn distribute the checks
among the old soldiers and widows.
It is not known yet just when the
checks for the pensioners In Americas
and Sumter will be sent, though it
will be very soon.

THIRTY CENTS TO CREDITORS,

A meeting of creditors of J. e. French

ing failed to materialiZe.
It IS understood that an offer of 30 cts

The larger majority Of those holding
claims, it is said, were disposed to &C
cept thls offer, but few would not
make such agreement and the case is
still an open one.
The firms Indebtedness, is said, Is
about $25, 900, while the stock of goods
invoices something like $16, 600 though
it would not bring that amount. There
are assets in the way of notes and &C.

WILLING TO MAKE A
LEASE OF PLANT.
Private Parties Propose Such
Step.
AND COUNCIL MAY:coNsIDER 1T.
Americas Men DESTROYS of Leasing
and Operating City's Waterworks
For Term of Years. Offer is an
Advantageous One

At the meeting of council tonight, in
all probability, a proposition will be
submitted by two or three prominent
citizens of Americas looking to lease
of the waterworks system here for a
term of years, and upon basis con-
sidered advantageous to both sides.
At least the gentlemen who will sub.
mia the proposition SO consider it,
under the circumstances.
Their terms have not been made
known and will not be except directly
to the council, and it will remain for
the solons to decide whether or not 1t
is best to accept same.
1t is known, however, that the gen.
tlemen behind the proposition are
thoroughly experienced in business of
this kind; they propose to give the
plant their personal attention, main
tain it at high standard and pay the
city more than it now makes out of it.
They believe they can do this and
make some money besides.
It is their opinion that private parties
can operate the plant more economi-
cally than can a corporation, and in
the proposed reduced expenditures will
they derive their profit.
They will suggest lease of either
| five or ten years; relieve the city of
every expense comply with every cou-
tract OF the city IN the way of free wa
ter supply; furnish free water for fire
purposes etc, and supply consumers at
the same rates now being paid
In addition, they will pay the council
good rental in cash annually, and give
ample bond for the return of the plant
in good condition at the final expiration
Of their lease.
Such was the information obtained
from excellent source
And this proposition, made by such
responsible men as will suggest il, will
doubtless receive due consideration
Whether or not it will be best to thus
lease the plant and relieve the city of
all cost of operating il, while getting
all advantages, the council is to decide
This, and other important matters,
may be discussed tonight.
