Thanksgiving was observed at the

O'Clock, at which Rev. Juan Caballe-
ria, the pastor, preached the sermon,
saying in part:
"Let us elevate our thanksgiving
prayer to the Almighty in hymns of
glory to the divine majesty of our King
and Savior We offer thanks to God
first, for the blessings Of our faith and
Christianity; then for the blessings of
our glorious America. Her success as
a nation is indeed a grace from heaven
which fills our home and family with
holy inspirations. Patriotism and faith
give to our people religious cOnvic-
tions inspired with generosity and lib
erty. AS Catholics we offer our thanks
giving, imploring sanctification for our
people. Let us work for goodness and
grace in the hope of our future saliva
tion. Gratitude and reverence to our
church and national institutions; with
devotion and piety to our duty and
labor, will be harmonious echoes of our
Thanksgiving prayer TO the sovereign
Lord of heaven"

PRISONERS AT CITY JAIL
DANCE AND MAKE MERRY

Thanksgiving day at the city prison
was celebrated by the release of all
sobered "drunks." The prisoners lodged
there for other offenses were the guests
at Thanksgiving dinner, consisting of
turkey and cranberry sauce, with all
the popular side dishes of the more in
expensive kind.
The release of the "drunks" was a
joyous event in prison circles. So joy
Gus was it that before nightfall five of
the released prisoners found their way
back to the police station the result of
too ambitious and violent celebrations
of the kindness of the police who had
voted to thus make the day one to be
remembered and one on which they
might turn a new leaf.
AT the dinner several of the more
educated prisoners made speeches and
offered toasts to Jailor McCauley and
Matron Gilbert. The speeches stirred
those with cruder intellectual accom-
plishments to cheering and weeping.
Tales of how former Thanksgiving days
were spent were told by many of the
citys guests. A number of these in
cluded accounts of what was done at
| the city prison last year, and from
two of the prisoners detailed descrip-
tlons were given Of a Thanksgiving dim
ner held there twenty-five years ago.
Although the city had prepared a
bountiful spread for the prisoners,
many of the city's religious organiza-
| tions called at the station and left large
packages of cakes, pies and fruits. The
women of the w. G. r. L. brought vo-
calists and favorite Thanksgiving an
thems were sung.
During the evening the prisoners we're
allowed to lounge i'm the prison chapel.
Two of the inmates who boast of mu-
sical accomplishments rendered selec-
tions on the chapel organ, while the
Others formed i'm lines and danced an
