Tried It on Miss Schneider.

Miss Josefa Schneider, n Turkish subject, resident in Constantinople, has brought suit for damages against the state which throws a vivid light on conditions in Turkey under Abdul Ha- mid II. According to the Paris Eclair one of Abdurs daughters fell seriously i'll in the days when he was still padi- shah and the court physicians recon mended an operation for appendicitis. Abdul refused to give his consent un- til the operation had been performed on some one else, to prove that it was not dangerous to life. Miss Schneider, who had recently spent some time fin q Constantinople hospital, was handy, so she was forcibly taken from her house and deprived of her appendix. Abdul Hamid was convinced, his daughter was cured, and now Miss Schneider's suit is part of his successors troubles.

Thanksoivino rsbI. Decorations.

Thanksgiving Table Decorations.
 Here are some suggestions for the decoration of the Thanksgiving dinner table: '-t. .
 Instead of the costly flowers for the central ornament of the table make a centerpiece that will delight every one by its novel appropriateness. On a mirror plateau place a pumpkin. the yellowest 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 defes 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 full 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 a low. round wicker basket and pile it high with rosy checked ap- pies, 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 run and frilled paper cap and sketch with ink a comic face on the smooth skin. 1t will 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 of yellow chrysan- themums anu put them either in an old blue ginger jar or a brown earth enware pitcher. Failing these. 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 tablecloth near it.
 A basket piled full of yellow ears of corn is a unique centerpieee. With this should be placed at each plate three grains of corn-to commemorate the time in 1923 when the crops fail ed and the colonists were threatened with starvation, being put on rations of a few kernels of corn a day. 4 day of fasting and prayer was appointed then. and directly after. as if in an swer. there was a long continued rain. sim. and q vessel arrived laden with provisions. Then in gratitude day of thanksgiving was appointed about the middle of July. This was observed for some ftty years. when the day was changed to harvest time -- Boston Herald.

They thought the forests were going

They thought the forests were going to grow without care. They thought there would still be forests some where else, even if they did cut down all the forest near them. But, to the amaze ment of the people, wood began to get scarce. The business men had to hunt for wood. The wagon maker couldn't get the wood he wanted. Everybody was looking for wood. Some wanted white pine, others wanted hickory and so on.
 Now the people are seeing their mis- take in cutting the forest when 1t isn't needed. The man who is after white pine is the first to find out how they can better the forests. He says that you can cut your forest and still have forest. He says he has been studying it laseiy and he has found out that this is true, The other men won't believe. But he is convinced that he is in the right. so he says he will explain to them. He then tells them that when they cut the forests they must cut out ali the poor trees. They must also leave enough large mother trees to protect the younR trees from the sunlight. Young trees need sunlight but not too much. These men tried this plan and found it was true. They also learned that insects | were very harmful to trees.
 Fire is very harmful to trees also. Eve if the ba k is only scorched it stops fire can do in little while, I will tell you the story of the Miramichi forest Ill New Brunswick.

Nansen and "Thirteen."

The thirteen" superstition is not universal. pr. Nansen can afford to laugh at it. The crew of the Fran on its memorable north pole expedition consisted of thirteen men, who, after an absence of three years, all returned to their homes in perfect health, de- spite the trials they had gone through. Then on Dec. 13, 1893, the doctor rec ords the birth of litter of pups. ''There were thirteen-a curious coin cidence-thirteen pups for thirteen men. Further, Dr. Nansen arrived at Yardo, in Norway, on Aug 13, 1896, and on the self same day the Fram emerged from her long drift in the leo into the open sea.

 About seven o'clock i'll the evening the wind began to blow. This of course made the fire burn faster All of sud- den it began to grow light. But the light was worse than the darkness had been. Still the people did not realize the danger until, with a mighty roar the fire burst into sight. Then they realized the danger. Their only cry was 'the river" There was great confusion They thought they would be safe on the other side of the river, but the fire was on the other side, too

as pJ NhC hA@hCA of an eyelash did he betray his aston ishment as his master stepped from the car and. immaculate in frock coat. gray trousers, silk hat, soft gray gloves and boutonniere, stalked through the gloom and crowd into the brilliantly lighted station. .
 Christy had private car in one of the uptown yards, but he gave 1t no thought. He bought ticket for Tru- mansburg. He was going home for Thanksgiving with mother"
 Years had passed over his head since he had left Trumansburg. He had often thought of going back for visit. but the second thought was better than the first. It always ended In his send ing for his mother to visit him instead.
 Christy was not Napoleon of finance. Tn all these years he had made no meteoric rise. but he had climbed patch of gray over each ear and trifing stoop of the shoulders, he had turned over his fifth million.
 Eminent nerve specialists had warn ed him that he must cease his endeav- ors or lose his health. but Christy laughed at them.
 Neither urgings of friends nor orders of physicians had any effect. Yet he now yielded to the note of joy in a girls voice and was going home.
 The girls voice had brought home and mother back to him. and as the train dashed on he smiled softly to himself and planned his arrival at home.
 He had taken the fiier because 1t was the first train out. A word to the amiable conductor, and the engineer was instructed to stop at Trumans- burg.
 The station was dark when, little after midnight. the train paused just long enough for the single passenger to drop to the platform.
 But there was a light in the post office across the road from the depot. and presently a man came out to take the mail bag flung off by the messen- gers.
 That train stop hereT he asked in- credulously of Christy.
 "For a moment" was the amused re- sponse. Do you know where I can get bed this time of night?''
 The mail carrier regarded him with disdain. "Of course" he said loftily. This town ain't so small that it does not have hotels. You can always get into the liberty House-if you ring loud enough. It's two blocks north. one east"
 Tn the morning he hunted up the residence of one of the clothing store proprietors and induced him to open his store. Here he selected an outfit less conspicuous than his wedding guest attire and of the sort he had once regarded as the last word of ele- gance.
 He lighted a cigar and strolled over to the church. He knew that the fam

TREES AND FORESTRY
Compositions by High School Pupils
 on lnteres sting Topics.
EI.N2


 The pupils in the eighth grade, (Miss Cleveland's room) of the High school have recently taken up the useful, in- structive and interesting subject of trees and forestry as topic for compositions, and some creditable productions have been the result.
 There was discussion of the subject as class room work in school, but the pupils had the privilege of using any other information they could obtain and wrote the compositions outside of school The one by Laura Goodwin, aged 12, was chosen as best Nelson Parsons, age 13, second, and Keith Adam, age IA, as third. .
 The News herewith prints the con- position by Miss Goodwin, and those by Masters Parsons and Adams will appear entitled Forests, and is as follows
 Many years ago, when the Pilgrims first came to America, there were 8 great many forests. All they could see were forests. They had to cut trees to get a space large enough to build 8 house. .|.
 These Pilgrims were very careful of the forests at first, but when thel e SC m d to be no end to the forest, they began to cut them down. Instead of cutting them down as they should, they cut down tine best ones and left the Door oues The poor pues were cisll d weed trees.
