MARES THANKSGIVING.

Marie was the only little daughter
in q very poor home. She had two
brothers one older and one younger
than she was.
The Oldest worked in grocery store
and It was Marie's custom to 60 and
meet her brother. It was Just week
until Thanksgiving but Marie couldn't
think of having q nice dinner and nice
clothes to 60 to church for she was
too poor.
Her father and brother worked hard
to save little money for Christmas
gifts.
One day as Marie was going to meet
her brother she passed very beauti.
full house and when she told her
brother of it he determined to go home
that way to see it so they went that
way home.
It was about Ave thirty o'clock when
they reached this beautiful house,
They hid SO that II the mistress should
happen to come out they could see her.
Pretty soon they heard a noise and
they looked around and thief was
climbing in the window. They cried
for help and the neighbors came and
bound the thief and after the people
had gone the lady called the brother
and sister in the house and asked them
to tell her how they happened to be
there and they told her and she gave
each of them five dollar gold piece.
That made them very happy and
when they went homo they told their
parents their good fortune. The day
before Thanksgiving day a package
came and in it were some nice clothes
for Marie's mother and father and
brothers and herself and also a5.reat
big turkey and everything fit for a
nice Thanksgiving dinner. Now Marie
was very happy and Thanksgiving day
she and her parents and brothers went
to church After church she and her
Oldest brother went to thank this kind
lady and in return she adopted them
and also supplied the rest of the family
with everything they needed.

that she didn't believe she would have
any good time at all on Thanksgiv.
ing, but she was very much surprised
on Thanksgiving day for all her little
cousins, aunts and uncles and best OF
all her grandmother and grandfather
came to her house. Grandma brought
q basket full OF lovely rosy checked
apples which Nshe let Mildred and her
little cousins roast. They had plenty
Of nuts and q big turkey and pump
kin pies and everything for dinner
just like Mildred knew that grandma
always had, and when tired little Mil

to admit that she had had as good 9

The children played wood tag and
other games which we play now. Mas
sasoit, the Indian chief came early
and brought hundred red men with
him. They visited all day long from
one cabin to another playing with the
children and watching the women
cook. 1t was different from any cook
Ing they had ever seen before, but
when 1t came time to eat they showed
their approval of it by the way they
cleared the tables Of food set before
them.
The day was a joyous one. both to
the red men and to the colonists.

The Indians brought the Puritans corn
and pumpkins from their own gardens.
Miles Standish was one OF the leaders
Of the Puritans. The Pur1tans came
over in the ship called the Mayfiower.
It took them a very long time to reach

Thanksgiving day.

FIGHT FOR CHEAP FAIRvIEW
FARES IS PRACTICALLY WON


lating an ordinance providing that the
Detroit City Railway, its successors
and assigns, should furnish working
mems tickets within the city limits.
The concessions contained in this
ordinance were granted by the com.
pany In return for extensions and
other concessions by the city. The
Detroit City Railway line, 1t the time
the ordinance was passed, ended at
Mt. Elliott-ave., on Jefferson-ave. SUD
seouently franchises were granted to
different companies by the village OF
Fairyiew and the township Of Crosse
Pointe. These different companies,
In 1900. assigned their rights TO the
Detroit United Railway, az did like
wise the Detroit City Railway. The
ticket ordinance provided for the rate
of fare within the city limits on all
cars operated by the Detroit City
Railway, it's successors ana assigns.
The contention Of the ID. U. r. was
that 1t operated the lines In Fair
view under the separate franchis
granted by the village OF Fairview
and the township OF Crosse Pointe
and not by virtue Of any franchise Oh
the city Of = Detroit, and, therefore
that II was beyond the power OF the
city of Detroit to impose any regula
ton in regard to fares, that, II the
CITY attempted to do 80, II violated
the provisions OF the United States
constitution relative to the impair.
ment of contracts and the taking OF
property without compensation.
Judge Phelan held that the ID. U.
r was the successor and assign OF
all these railways, and that the or
dinance in question was a special con-
tract between the Detroit City Kali
way and the city OF Detroit, which
provided that in the event OF the De-
roit City Railway operating any cars
on any other lines within the city
limits that the new fare, that is,
eight-for-a-quarter, should apply upon
all such lines and cars. He also held
that the Detroit City Railway, in &C.
cepting the ordinance, contemplated
that the power reposed In the iegis'
lature to enlarge the city limits was
a part Of the contract, and that TINS
special contract superseded and made
void the different franchises granted
by the village of Fairview and the
township OF Crosse Pointe insofar az
they wre different or contrary to the
terms OF the special ordinance grant
ed to the Detroit City Railway, The
sndings Of Judge Phelan are affirmed
by the supreme court In every par
ticular.

This grant OF power concerns those

Not only must they obtain the

and Is to be exercised by them In a
fair and impartial manner. Whatever
the legislature could have done TO I'M
prove the public service OF these en-.
terprises or TO render less burden

domain, may now be done by the local
authorities.
both OF the telephone companies

Detroit, and under this provision II
council TO frame an ordinance for the
reasonable regulation and control OF
this business.
The proposed ordinance must In
no way interfere with the interstate
or long distance business conducted
by these corporations. and the regu-
lations must be such as will not uii-
duly hamper the enterprises or In
anywise conhscats their property but
q reasonable rate and q reasonable
regulation may be imposed.
The opinion states that there Is
contract relation with the Home Tele-
phone Co. which may complicate the
regulation of that concern, and that
the exact situation az regards that
company, must be decided In the
courts. As to the Michigan company
there IL less difficulty.
