Two Salt Lake Capitalists
Eat Cold Sandwiches Fro
BoxCar in Nevada

Picture Frank Knox, president of the
National Bank of the Republic, and &,
S. Holmes, owner Of the Knutsford ho
tel and one Of the largest realty holders
in this city, struggling for positions Of
vantage IN front of a boXcar lunch
counter on the Nevada desert,
Also picture the aforementioned gen

This is exactly what happened Mon
day as Messrs. Holmes and Knox were
returning to Salt Lake from San Fran
cisco. 1t WASH I because of any partlc-
ular fondness for boXcar cafes nor
liking for cold ham sandwiches that the
Salt Lake capitalists took lunch IN such
an unconventional manner. Force OF CIR
cumstances-thc kid sister of invention
was alone to blame. Neither Mr.
Holmes nor Mr.. Knox would discuss the
informal repast Monday night, but fel.
low traveller broke the news to a rep
resentative Of The Tribune. Here IS
how it happened, according to the tale
of the tourist who came from San Fran
cisco to Salt Lake on the same train
with Messrs, Holmes and Knox:
The dining car on the Southern Pa
cifc train was cut off at Reno At this

hours later a wasbout was encountered
and a delay of three hours resulted. The
train resumed its journey for several
hours and then another washout hove

everybody aboard the train was decld-
edly awake and the majority extremely
hungry. Sordid drummers with pecul-
lar conceptions of humor regalcd them
selves by describing elaborate feed func-
tions of the past, all of which had n
marked effect upon the appetites of
their fellow travellers After miles Of
silence. Holmes spoke up:
Frank. what was that the governor
of North Carolina said to the governor
Of South Carolina9'
Mr.. Knox S reply was lost in the roar
Of the train.
Finally. after what had seemed a
near eternity to the hungry passengers,
n trainman announced that lunch sta

not come 10 a full stop when the pas
scngers swarmed out upon the platforms
and swung off into the snow TO begin q

Now, in his younger days, Mr..
Holmes, it is alleged, was there with
bells on the cinder path and he easily
outstripped Mr. Knox. who carried top
weight in the 'ham-and handicap.
But after Holmes had done a hundred
yards through the snow in n trllie less
than nothing, he discovered that the
hunger hospital had burned down. For
moment the desert air was burdened
with expressions of grief-and other
things.
But Holmes, who can spot live hotel

every one knows. is the always avail

"To my mind there can be no doubt

have been getting lot of new people
up there lately. and inasmuch as by
far the larger portion of these come
from Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and other
states where the farmers are largely
Republican, We figure that 70 per cent

the larger part of them by long odds,

Thanksgiving Table Decorations. Here are some suggestions for the decoration of the Thanksgiving dinner table:
 Instead of the costly flowers for the central ornament of the table make centerpiece that will delight every one by its novel appropriateness. On a mirror plateau place a pumpkin, the yeilowest and fairest that ever glowed between rows of fading corn. The top must be cut of and some of the center removed The space is then lined with smilax. asparagus fern or the hardy | dogtooth fern that every country boy knows defies the frost and can be found as fresh under the snow as when wet by summer rains. Heap the space high with lady apples. grace ful punches of grapes and yet more ferns. allowing a few of the latter to stray down the side and rest their pretty tracery on the white cloth. Or get low. round wicker basket and pile it high with rosy checked ap- ples. letting three or four of them drop from 1t on the tablecloth to signify abundance. At each plate place a red apple decorated with a ruff and frilled paper cap and sketch with ink comic face on the smooth skin. It win create no end of fun for the children.
 Or pile basket with either apples or pears and place a border of autumn leaves around it; also one around each of the plates at the table.
 Get big bunch or yellow chrysan- themums and put them either in an old blue ginger jar or a brown earth enware pitcher Failing these. a small bean pot such as is used for baking beans will prove decorative recepta- cle for them. Place two or three of the chrysanthemums on the tablecioth near it.
 A basket piled full of yellow ears Of corn is unique centerpiece. With this should be placed at each plate three grains of corn-to commemorate the time in 1923 when the crops fail with starvation. being put on rations of q few kernels of corn day. A day of fasting and prayer was appointed then. and directly after. as if in an swer. there was long continued rain storm. and a vessel arrived laden with provisions. Then in gratitude day of thanksgiving was appointed about the middle of July. This was observed for some fifty years. when the day was changed to harvest time.-Boston Herald

The First Thankscivinq.

The first Thanksgiving in New Eng land is described ia a letter written to Ia loving and old friend" and dated at Plymouth, this 11th of November. 1621." This ''loying and old friend" is supposed to have been a certain George Morton, who had married q sister of Governor Bradford and who came over 10 Plymouth in July, 1923 The letter is signed F.. w., and these are taken 10 be the initials of Edward WinSlow Of the 10I emigrants who landed on the 1lth (oId style) of De cembcr. 1920. on the bleak coast of Cape Cod. almost one-half had died and nearly all of the remainder had suffered seriously from Restitution and the pigors of the winter. for which they were ill prepared. The reward. how ever, of the industry of the few who were not disabled was so abundant as to call forth the thankfulness of this very religious colony. The letter al Iudcd to says: You shall understand that in this little time that a few of us have been here we have built seven dwelling houses and four for the ose of the plantation and have made prep aration for seven others. We net the last spring some twenty acres of bar ley and peas, and, according to the manner of the Indians. we manured our ground with herrings, or. rather, shads, which we have in great abun- dance and take with great ease at our doors. Our corn did prove we'll. and, God be praised. we had a good increase of Indian corn, and our barley indiffer- ent good, but our peas not worth the gathering"
