Jack Hunters
Thanksgiving
How He Dined on Thanks
giving Day
By DELLA ELLISON

Jack Hunter, a sailor boy, having
come ashore with some companions on
the arrival of his ship after a three
years cruise, following sailor customs,
proceeded to blow in all his savings
within a few days.
Now. this was sowing the wind to
reap the whirlwind. for they had all
received permission to go to their
homes to spend Thanksgiving, and,
having spent all his money instead, he
had not the wherewithal to pay for a
ticket on the railroad to anywhere.
"What'l you do, Jack" asked Joe
Baxter, n Of his mates-"go back
aboard the ship for the ordinary
Thanksgiving dinner Of salt pork, with
plum duff thrown in for Thanksgiv-
ing. or walk where you are going!"
I'll not so to the Ship" Jack re-
piled. II don't like the railroads, any
way. They're dangerous. They swing
around the curve in a way to make
an old salt sick, and If they don't make
him sick they scare him to death,
which Is worse. There's no sea room
on a railroad. and when two trains are
comm together head on Oh the same
track there's no sheerin' off, and
there's no savin' Of life by jumpin' into
the water, for there's nothin' but hard
ground below. No. sir. l want an
open sea for my meanderin's. I'm soin'
to walk"
What you going to do for grub on
the way?"
Reckon I'll fish in the streams"
Fish! You can't eat the measly
little fish that swim in fresh water
This staggered Jack. He was born
on the ocean. his father having been
captain of a schooner. and his knowI-
edge of the land was very meager. His

with hot coffee and brandy. When he
came to the boy said that his name
was Willy Gee and hat he had just
'growed up on the beach at Port An
tonic and never knew either father or
shirt and an American button. which
was inscribed, Kiss me because I'm

to him by an American from Swamp
scott, Mass.
ION the day of the great storm he
saw the dark clouds when he was in

few minutes later, when he was hid

shrieking blast, and he was whisked

parents were both dead. and he had
no brothers or sisters: consequently he
had no reason for going to where his
mother had lived. There was no one
he cared to see, no one with whom to
eat a Thanksgiving dinner after he got
there. He was somewhat discouraged
at the information that fresh water
fish were not eatable, for he could not
think Of any way to support himself
on a journey except by grub out of the
water. He hesitated whether to try it
or go back on to the ship.
But there was one attraction that de-
cided him to 20 on. During one year
that he had lived on land he had play
ed with a little girl named Margie.
What her other name was he didn't
know. Margie was the only being liv-
ing-if. indeed, she did live-who con-
nected him with the past. He longed
to see her just once to ask her if she
remembered playing hide and seek in
the haycocks with him.
So he started out the morning of
Thanksgiving day to walk to the vii
lage where he had spent this one year.
BE didn't remember much about the
route, but had been told that he must
proceed 81 4 2estkwassez2sJ a32eet81.
Baxter had 25 cents left, which he be-
slowed upon Jack. After a discussion
as to how the money had best be
spent it was decided that Jack would
| need a compass even more than food.
So they stepped into a shop, bought a
compass, and after a farewell hand
shake Jack started on his journey.
Jack Don found that he could get ON
better by inquiring the way than by
relying on his compass, for sometimes
the compass would take him across
bay, and a he met told him how
he could go by road. About noon. get
ting hungry. he stepped into a small
restaurant and traded his compass for
a couple Of sandwiches. During the
afternoon a %glimmering Of memory
came to him as to the route he passed
over, and here and there a house, a
clump Of trees. a meadow. a bridge,
struck him Familiarity. About dusk he
came to the schoolhouse where he and
Margie had learned to spell words of
one and two syllables, had played at
recess and had gone together to their
homes after school let out.

the condition in which it appeared
when Washington made his farewell
address within it's walls.
A painStaking and thorough study Of
the building from every angle was
made and plans prepared. From that
time until 1911 efforts were put forth
to have the city of Philadelphia fur
nish funds for the work. the committee
Of architects offering to give their serv-
ices without cost. In October Of that
year the city finally undertook the
work. and a contract involving the en-
penditure of 100000 was entered into
with the architects. Their work is
now completed. The architects have
contributed the time involved in the
holding of more than IA hundred meet
lngS and professional services for
which the charges to private clients
would have been at least $780, 900.
1t is believed that the building as IT.
now stands represents one of the first
Of the important American historical
relics Of its character to be thoroughly
restored on the principle that the es-
sential thing is reproduction of flaws
and errors as we'll as Of the good de-
tails. The spirit Of the time which it
represents has been considered the
vital thing. In the case of Congress
ball. wherever a detail could not be
authenticated it has been omitted.
The restoration called for a great
deal OF research and utilization of the
sense which makes a detective success
full. The architects had to put two
and two together and draw deductions
from the evidence which they secured.
They read old letters. ransacked news
paper files and books and examined old
insurance policies. They studied the
marks uncovered when the plaster and
woodwork were removed. They studied
angles of stairways. AS a result they
believe they have made the interior
look as it did when Major l'Enfant's
hand left it.
During the progress Of the work i'm
portant details of the original building
were disclosed which in tie main con-
firmed the conclusions following the
first survey. but also brought to light
evidences of original construction that
were at the outset matters of conjec-
ture only. It is believed that Congress
hall as now restored appears ESSENTIALLY
as it was when occupied by congress
prior to 1900.

LITTLE WILLY GEE
BLOWN OUT TO SEA
But Fifty Mile Aerial Trip
Didn't Bother Him.

Willy Gee. a West Indian bow of

being carried in the center of Il hur-
ricane for fifty miles and then dropped
into the foaming brine in

and Il one eyed mongoose named
Spify. Willy seemed to be quite
happy on the ship. as he had been

mascot. Chief Officer Albert Donnelly
gave this account of how Willy Gee
was picked up:
"When the vessel was steaming
through the Windward passage in the
