How Thomasina Earned the Turkey
When Bob Failed the Cat Succeeded in Furnishing the Thanksgiving Dinner.

Bob had picked out the turkey he
wanted. 1t hung big n white and fat
In Mr.. Bowles' window n Mr.. Bowles
had 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 was a dollar and a half. So it
was a sad Bob who greeted his family
on the top floor of the tall tenement.
There We're 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 u cordial
welcome with waving tails and soft
"purr-r-rups.' While little lame Betty
called to him from her chat 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 it 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 ut, while
Thomasina purred a lullaby to Tod
dlekins under the little stove.

The Thankful Heart.

oliver Wendell Holmes: If one

me there were particles Of iron in it I
might lock for them with my eyes and
search for them with my clumsy fingers
and be unable TO detect them, but let
me AXE a magnet and sweep through
1t, and how it would draw to itself the
most invisible particles by the mere
power of attraction! The unthankful
heart, like my finger in the sand, dis
covers no mercies, but let the thankful

in every hour some heavenly blessings,
only the iron in Gods sand is gold.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

THE LAST NUMBER OF THE STANDARD called attention to the
fact that some steps must be taken to improve the town, its
suggests itself: What are the citizens going to do in the mat
ter?' Are they going to sit idly by and watch Fallon go to the
dogs" as it were, or are they going to set to work and correct
the mistakes which have thus far been made and prevent their
recurrence? The future of this town rests entirely with the citi-
zens. 1t is cd to them to either make or break it. After spend
ing millions of dollars III retaining thousands of acres of land,
the Government will r~ightfuly resent any attempt on the part of
heavy land owners to built up a town that seems like to be a
cess pool Of disease and distortion, devoid of all symmetry and
shape. These STATEMENTS may be hard to swallow, yet they are
facts nevertheless Fer instance, Carson street, which is rapidly
becoming a business thoroughfare, is scarce 800 yards long, its
course being interrupted and brought to a sudden termination by
the Bailey and Gill livery stable. To the real of the stable lots
are being disposed of in the Verplank addition, and in order for
one who lives there to reach Carson street, 1t Will be necessary to
take a course that would be road exercise enough for a prize
fighter in training. Several other instances might be cited, but
the one at issue is closest our observation.
Together. these items present a sorry state OF affairs toward
the building Up Of a town that, under ordinary vigilance, will be
the metropolis oil Nevada ere many years go by. If the live and
let i've policy is carried out and If those who are in a position so
to do will show that public spirit that has characterized the
growth and progress of other towns, everything will be smooth
sailing and time alone can tell the final outcome. If, on the other
hand, the greed OF Il plutton marks the getrich quick methods OF
land owners, it is a safe prediction that elsewhere in this valley
will be "A city that will fairly outclass Falon. In more than one
instance has a town been ruined by its own people. Let's hope
that such is not the case so far as Falon is concerned. Help just
a little. put yonr shoulders to the wheel, let progress and fair
treatment be your motto and before you know it Fanon will be
the Queen City of Nevada.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS SECTION annually send out a large
amount Of money for goods purchased through catalogues OF
Eastern firms. The practice should cease. When those who are
in the habit of sending outside for goods want credit they go to
the home merchant with their troubles, vet when they have some
loose change they glance at a catalogue and send their money
out of the community, into avenues from which there are no ben-
chGal returns. that's what W e call ingratitude. Wei wager
a home merchant will duplicate a catalogue order, freight added.
Try the experiment the next time you figure on a catalogue order.
