How Thomasina Earned the Turkey


We'll, she can have some of the tur.
key when she comes back" said Betty
comfortably.
I'm awfully afraid we can't have
TIT turkey, Betty dear said Bob, as
ne picked up his shabby cap. IT
didn't snow after all and so there are
no paNements TO clean"
Just then the door opened and the
brass buttoned boy dropped Thomas
ma over the Threshold.
The old cat came in with her head
in the air, her tail waving. Around
her neck was a red ribbon and tied
IN the ribbon was something green.
It's a five dollar bill" said Bob, Won
deringly, as he unfolded the note.
Scrubbed on Il bit of paper was this
message:
'"Thomasina caught five mice and
they were worth a dollar apiece, for /
slept like a king. Please bring little
Betty to see me sometime and Thomas
ina and Toddlekins, for l am a lonely
old man."
oh" said Retty. breathlessly, her
little face aglow with delight; land
now we can nave the turkey, and the
McDougalls, Bob, and a real Thanks
giving
Yes" said Bob, with an affection
ate glance at the bic cat, who a gone
straight to Toddlekins and was fussing
over him after her long absence; "and
1t was Thomasina who earned it,"
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1904-11-24

Bob had picked out the turkey he
wanted. 1t hung big and white and fat
In Mr.. Bowles' window and Mr.. Bowles
a promised to keep him for Bob until
the very last minute.
Il haven't got but seventy cents, Mr..
BoWles," Bob had explained, but may
be l can make the rest tonight
But he made only thirty cents on
his papers that evening and the tur-
key vas a. dollar and a half. So it
was a sad Bob who greeted his family
on the top floor of the tall tenement.
There were four in Bob's family-little
lame Betty, Thomasina, the big cat,
and Thomasina's kitten, Toddlekins.
Thomasina and Toddlekins met Bob
at the door and gave him a cordial
welcome with fWaving tails and soft
"purr-r-rups," While little lame Betty
called to him from her chair by the
window:
Dear brother Tom, did you get the
turkey?"
Not yet" he said, trying to speak
c%heerfully, but it looks like snow and
II 1t does, I'll clear off pavements In
the morning and that will help"
I've asked poor Mrs. McDougal and
all the little McDougalls to Thanks
giving dinner" said Betty, eagerly.
They're ~dreadfully poor and never
have anything good to eat"
But If we shouldn't get the tur-
Key, Betty" said Bob, dismayed.
oh, you'll get It," said Betty, who
had wonderful faith in Bob.
But Bob was only twelve, and it
wasn't easy to make both ends meet.
That night when Betty was asleep
IN her tiny room, Bob sat in front of
the fire and thought it all out, while
Thomasina purred a lullaby to Tod
dlekins under the little stove.
Presently she jumped on the window
sill and looked into the night.
You're a good old thing" said Bob,
but you haven't an tdea in your head
But just at this moment an old gen.
tleman across the street glanced out of
the window of his handsome house

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic

lation and commentator tcstifyine
to the merits of Pernna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring ii from every State
of the Union,
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds of
such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti.
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their greatest enemy. are es,
p~ecially enthusiastic i'll their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarah. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. a cold is the beginning of ca
tarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds.
is to cheat catarrh Of its victims.
Pernna NOT only cures catarrf,, bur
prevents it, Every household should
be supplied with this great remedy for
coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Ex-Governor of Oregon is an
ardent admirer of Peruna. He keeps il
continually in the house.

From Railroad Accidents in the United

the American Monthly Review of Re

l. An extension of the block system as
rapidly as practicable. and it's strict inter-

electric staff or tablet system, as has been
done in Great Britain.
! 5. The introduction Of rigid rules gov
erning the hours of labor of railroad en-
ployes engaged in train service.
I 4. The employment of a third man on all
modern high speed locomotives.
5. An extension of the practice Of en-
lploying two conductors on heavy high
speed trains, one to look after the running
of the train exclusively and. the other &c
look after the tickets, as Is now the prac-
tees on several Of the transcontinental
lines.
6. The employment Of only experienced
men In responsible positions.
Z. An extension of second, third ant
fourth track mileage as rapidly as prac.
ticable, to accommodate the growing ne
s~essities of the traffic.

Chicago JeweIer Loses Diamonds
Worth $1,1OO.

Chicago. April 2S.-A diamond swim
die of startling holiness, in which one
of the finest residences in Chicago was
used by the swindler as a clearing
house, is being investigated by a score
OF operatives from a private detective
agency. Jewels to the value of 81, 100
were obtained by the swfndIer
The head of a jewelry firm received
q call over the telephone from a person
who gave the name and address of a
wealthy citizen, requesting that an as
sortment of diamond crescents be sent
to his residence for his wife to select
from.
The jeweler complied Immediately,
sending by special messenger a tray
containing three crescents. Opening
the package, the wife of the man whose
name had been used by the swindler
beheld the jewels and was wondering
from whom they came when she also
was summoned to the telephone.
The person at the other end of the
wire explained that he was the jeweler
and had just sent the diamond
crescents to her by mistake. One of
his clerks, he said, would call for the
gems at once.
Half an hour later a young man
called at the house, presented the firms
card and the diamonds were turned
over to him.
The denouement came when, not
having heard from the citizen who was
the jeweler concluded the crescents
had not pleased his wife and sent a
clerk with more jewels from which a
choice might be made. The diamonds
were returned at once with a curt ex-

SHOES FOR THE ARMY.
Three Improved Types of Footwear
VIII BE Introduced.

Fort Riley, Kan, April 2S-The army
IS to have a new shoe at last. The old
type that has so long been unsa tisfac-
tory is to be discarded as fast as pos
sible to make way for the new one
that is declared to be stylish and up
to date. There are to be three styles
al on the Butcher pattern. the march
ing shoe, one for dress and one for
garrison.
The first viii be of stuffed russell
leather. extra high, and with box toe
in this type, the sole will be heavy and
the heel low, as this make it easiest o
the wearer while on a march. 1t will
be waterproof. The second will be
black and of calfskin, with box toe aud
cap, with medium weight sole and heel
one inch high, and will be worn with
the blue dress uniform, which has vet
to be issued for wear. The third VIII
be of russell leather and on much the
same lines as the second, and will be
for wear on drill while in garrison. The
present type is made on the Balmoral
last and is clumsy. Several hundred
thousand pairs OF the new style will
be manufactured.
