Thanksgiving the Day Of All Days on

On Thanksgiving day most Of US.
with deliberate intention and perhaps
no little effort, close the door BY
which srumbles enter and open wide
the other door that lets in praise. For
once gratitude has the right OF way
and We are Just = little bit ashamed
to be found in tho dull company OF
complaint. At the Thanksgiving serv-
Ice. II we attend II we give ourselves
to 4 deliberate enumeration Of our
blessings and remember. perhaps. how
many there are less favored than on.
selves. There IL not time for = com
plete and permanent smoothing out Of
the wrinkles OF care and perplertty
before wo sit down at the bountifully
laden table. but on the whole we arc
ready to enter into the spirit OF tho
time. Il Thanksgiving. then. q rover
sal OF an occasional accentuation Of
the proper habit Of . CHRISTIANS lifee
II there must DO rusty hinges, should
they DO upon the doors Of praise.
while the other door Of Crumolinr
works with constant ease! The un-
disputed right Of way IN tho Thanks
giving season ought to Be the right Of
way for all the year.

TEXAS RANGERS COMING.

On next Saturday, Nov. 96th, the
patrons of the Opera House will be
accorded a real treat in the product
ion of "A Texas Ranger" which has
been, and which is considered today
by critics, the most realistic and true
to life and character of any Western
drama v e produced and offered to
the public. The scenes and Incl
dents are laid upon the Western bor-
der of Texas, during the siege, short
ly the secession. The leading figure
in the story is that of a famous U. S.
army officer whose name is very
prominently associated with history
of early frontier days-captain Jack,
as he was familiarly called-whose
exploits and deeds of daring drove
terror into the hearts of the invaders
in those days Of unrest. The author
of "A Texas Ranger has bent his
utmost endeayors to staging this
thrilling story in a realistic manner,
thus lending enchantment to the
pretty romance that is entwined
about the play. The cast has been
selected with the utmost care, only
those being chosen for the various
parts who are thoroughly capable of
interpreting their respective charac-
tiers. The scenic equipment is novel,
and upon the rise of the curtain its
completeness and reality transports
one to the land of the sage brush
and cactus.
