Some EventfuI Thanksgiving.

Among the days set apart for thanks giving which in reality have been days of national sorrow may be numbered that of 1875, when the entire country was mourning over the death of Vice President Henry Wilson, whose re- mains on the Thanksgiving day of that year were lying in state at Washing ton; that of 1878. when the German steamer Pomerania. from New York. crowded with passengers. sank or Folkestone, England, carrying to a wa tery grave fifty souls: that of 1881. the morning of which found the conn try grleving over the death of Presi- dent Garfield; that of 1882, when an- other terrible loss at sea set the coun- try mourning. the steamer Ocean Grove striking on the rocks of Cape Canso and proving coffin ship to many on board; that of 1885, when the country mourned over the death of Vice President Thomas Hendricks, sleeping his last sleep at his Indian apolis home.

Thanksgiving at
 Lonesome Hollow
By FRANCIS A. MILLER

"~ EEMS awfully forlorn to eat a
 Thanksgiving dinner all alone" O said Milly soberly, looking over
 at the young fellow. who sat mending a harness strap beside the blazing hearth. "I haven't the heart to get up big dinner for just us two"
 'I don't see what else we can do. No neighbors to invite except old Pete Sprat, and he wouldn't come. We might send him something by way of being neighborly."
 And be turned away for our pains" {" the woman laughed.
 You can't even go out on the high ways and hedges and gather in strag- glers like the ancient host of Bible fame. Maybe it is just as well not to have all the work of getting up a Thanksgiving dinner. for it seems to me that you look tired. Milly. Whats the matter?"
 Nothing, Jim: guess need little outing. I'll take a run across tue hollow and be back before supper"
 Milly put on her cloak and went out into the crisp autumn afternoon. The woods were bare except for a few torchlike flames of red which marked the presence of an occasional gum tree. The sky was clear. cold and pallid. tinged with greenish glow where the dark forests trimmed the far horizon. Not a sign of human habitation was visible. and not a sound broke the vast stiffness save the steady tap-tap of a woodpecker. The loneliness oppressed Milly strangely. For two years she had endured 1t in cheerful silence, working patiently at whatever her hand found to do in the rough little shack. which had gradually assumed
Connecticut western news., 1913-11-27

a cozy, homelike appearance. They had left the busy. grinding east in quest of health for her young husband. who was slowly regainlng his lost strength and vigor in the bracing eli mate of Colorado. which alone kept Milly's heart light and hopeful. but in spite of that joyful fact she could not dispel a shiver of loneliness when she thought of the long. dreary winter be- fore them.
 'I'm getting morbid simply for the want of little company" she said as she walked down the untraveled road in the face of the crisp north wind. ''That will never do for you, Milly Ben net. For Jim's sake. you mustn't give way to such fooIishness."
 Suddenly Milly's ear caught the sound of chopping. which seemed to come from the hollow beyond the di. vide. She turned and made her way easily through the leafless thicket walking briskly over the hill and down the opposite descent until she distinct ly heard voices. Farther on. at the edge of a natural clearing, she came upon a party of travellers camped be- side newly kindled fire. where a lean. gaunt appearing fellow busted himself with preparations for the evening meal. They were eight in ala rough. un- kempt lot. in leathern jackets and rusty boots. Beside the cook lay a bag of flour, a side of bacon and two jugs stoppered with eorncobs.
 Milly stopped abruptly when she found herself observed by the curious eyes of the eight strangers. then chang ed her mind and crossed the icy little brook and made her way toward the fire.
 A big. black whiskered man dropped her piercingIy. ''Lost?" he asked brusquely.
 No. live two miles up the divide. I happened to hear you chopping and stopped out of curiosity"
 The mans insistent gaze annoyed her. but the forlorn, gaunt appearance of The little group melted a little throb of pity and made her think gratefully of her own cOzy, cheerful little shack. with Jim waiting for her beside the glowing hearth.
 ''I suppose you are simply camping here for the night" she ventured. look. ing about at the meager comforts of the camp.

 5 THE YEAR ROUND

A WOMAN who has m almost old N fashioned faith in Providence keeps what she calls her
 thank offering box" Into this goes through the year. from ono Thanksgiving to the middle of the fol- lowing November, a sum of money for every accident escaped. calamity avert ed or special joy.
 These offerings are not confined to her own escapes, but each time some member of her family bobs up from some threatened woe Into the box goes the money offering of thanks.
 Not the same amount is given each time. and rarely large sums, for the woman is not rich, but nice little sum is realized.
 This Is devoted to giving some one a happy Thanksgiving day. It does not always go into the regular channels. As the woman says, the poor and hos. pitals are usually we'll cared for In holiday seasons.
 Sometimes a homesIck girl In strange city is given car fare home for the Thanksgiving gathering she would otherwise miss. Once music lover was given Il season ticket to the sym phony concerts. Again a doctors blll that had worried n young stenOgra. pher who had her mother to support was quietly paid.
 In speaking of her pretty custom the owner of the thank offering box said. Never have known what thankful. ness really meant until l started my box and saw the Joy my thankfulness brings to others"
 Such a box. besides cultivating ones bump of gratitude and making others equally grateful, cannot but afford great pleasure and interest In the spending. It is gracious thought ono more woman could prontably put into practice.

SAYS QUANTRELL DIED
ONLY FIVE YEARS AGO.

Ada, Okla, July THAT all of
the accounts of Quantrell's disap-
pearance and death after the war
are erroneous is the statement by
Rev. B. F. Garrett, 95 years old,
who was a member Of Quantrell's
band. He says the chieftain died
only about five years ago in Ange-
lima county, Texas, where he had
lived since the fall of the confeder-
acy. He visited ouantrell there
about ten years ago.
Mr.. Garrett says he was the only
preacher with the ouantrell band
and that he took part In most Of
the daring exploits Of the famous
guerilla leader, including the raid
on Lawrence, Kan.

sERvIAN ARMY ANNIHLATED.
Eleven Thousand offIcsrs and Men
Killed.

Vienna, July S.-Eleven thousand
officers and men OF the Servian
Timok division were killed during
the battle with the Bulgarians. in
which the division was defeated,
according TO the Sofia correspond
emit OF the Reichspost The division
consisted OF 1900 men who were
surrounded by a Bulgarian army
which had outflanked them. Only
1000 OF the Servians survived and
these were taken prisoners.
According to other newspaper
reports, a Bulgarian column OF
$4,000 men has succeeded in reach
ing the Servian town of Vranya and
is threatening the line Of retreat OF
the servian army. The Bulgarians
presumably were pushed forward
from Egri Palanka.
The mobilization of the Rumah-
ian army will be completed by Thurs
day or Friday, according to dis
patches from Bucharest. The Ru-
manian troops are expected to cross
the Danube into Bulgaria imme-
diately and as a result of this step
1t is assumed that Bulgaria will be
compelled either to agree to the
Rumanian demands and permit Ru-
mania to occupy the territory she
desires or to engage in war.

MAKES PROTEST ON
AUTO REGISTRATION

Salina, July Il. w. Leach OF
this city is arranging to test the
new automobile tax law, and in
making application for motor tax
tag, he attached protest to the
payment.
Mr.. Leach went over the matter
with County Treasurer Quinn and
the latter told him that If he filed
protest with his application, that
If the law was found to be uncon-
stitutional, he would have his license
money refunded. Mr.. Leech then
consulted Attorney Frank Knittle
and had him draw up a form of
protest which he filed with the
county treasurer at the same time
he made application for tax.
