AT THE ORPHEUM.
Thanksgiving Eve Audience Thrilled
 by Madame X.

Madame X was the superbIS pre- sented attraction offered by Manager William s. Brown at the Orpheum the ater Thanksgiving eve, the superior cast being headed by Adelaide French in the title role.
 The competency of Miss French and her supporters was strikingly manifest throughout the entire presentation of this emotion stirring drama, which is so intense in some of the climaxes, es- pecially in the court scene and final revelation, as to sway every audience.
 Many who came to the Orpheum Wednesday evening had previously seen Miss French in the title role, this being ner third appearance in Madame X in this vicinity within the past two years. She is the finished artiste, portraying in a marvellous way the remarkable character she assumes.
 High Schools Thanksgiving Exercises.
 At killingly High school Wednesday Thanksgiving exercises were held in the assembly hall. On account. of the number of students in the school, they requiring practically all of the space in the hall, the exercises, which were finely given, were not public.

Taken along with the regular mail, not many of the maximum weight | (11 pOunds) parcels post packages would be required to make difficult the going of a carrier who uses a motor | cycle, as Is done from the Danielsor and Dayvllle offices during greater part of the year, although these car riers also have the regulation wagons | for use in bad weather. If the motor | cycle cannot be longer used after the | government gets it's new department well established, there will be a slow | ing down in delivery time for people served by the routes and longer hours | of travel for the carriers, who give g | fine service with their machines

 Stories of His Experience.


 George Peterson, member of a firm doing a confectionery business in this city, has just returned from the scene of war in the domain of the Turkish sultan and has some interesting tales to tell of how rapidly important and history making episodes are transpir- ing in the fighting zone. MT. Peter son had troubles of his own in getting out of the country. MT. Petersons S old home is on the island of Mitilene, but he is a citizen of the United States. He was born under Turkish rule but is of Greek parentage. Trou- ble over his passports threatened. to make matters difficult for Mir. Peterson with the Turkish officials, who tried to prevent his departure, but upon his threat to make complaint to the Brit ish consul, there being no representa- tive of the American government at hand, he was immediately shown ev- cry consideration and came through without further trouble. MT. Peterson on his way out saw thousands of Turkish troops, which, according to press despatches, have since been rout- ed or wiped out.

LITTLE THINGS.

The memory of kindly word For long gone by, The fragrance of q fading flower Sent lovingly, The gleaming of a sudden smile Or sudden tear, The warmer pressure of the hand. The tone of cheer, The hush that means T cannot speak. But I have heard" The note that only bears a verse From Gods own Word Such tiny things we hardly count As ministry, The giver deeming they have shown Scant sympathy; But, when the heart is oyerwrought. Oh. who can tell The power of all such tiny things To make it well!

POETRY
OUR THANKSGIVING DAY.

The harvest yielded bounteous store, In spite of all our trembling fears Lest this from drought and storms,
 might be
 One of the frultless, barren years. But kindly sun and rain and dew Have ministered to all our need. The fertile earth has given full store Her countless multitudes to feed. No pestilence has stormed our shores, No wars have racked our hearts with
 fears: Strength has been given for minor Ills, And smiles have followed transient
 tears. So. let us render fervent thanks For sheltering homes, and kindred
 dear, And say with heartfelt gratitude: This year has been gOOdly year."
 Emma A I,eute.
