The ci,ies are just beginning TO
realize that in handling their petty
misdemeanors in warehouses; and
similar institutions. the one point
toward which they must work 10 be
successful Is toward the re-establisI

responsibility toward society Unless
they accomplish that, their work is
useless. Penal systems I'm the past

that they must take the man and tell

THANKSGIVING"

cultivated habit Az, an expression OF
simple politebess IL Is not an innate
but an inbred trait Much more is
this tile case when We consider the
thanks that are due 10 a beneficient

counted as necessities a sense OF reple-

which makes us blind TO the every

Thanklessness is usually the result ~
thoughtlessness But We are more apt
to be thoughtless about the fayors
that come from God through the work

the material gifts that come from the
hand OF fellow man. Stevenson has
well said Keep your eyes open TO
your mercies That part OF piety Is
eternal. and the man who forgets TO
be thankful has fallen asleep in life"
Above all. the true thanksgiving is

Thanksgiving in
CrOmwelrs Day

That Thanksgiving day was 200
years ago popularity and generally OBJ
served in England is we'll shown by
the following passage:
For Hudibras who thought he 'ad won
Tie field as certain as gun
And having routed the whole troop
With victory was cock-a-hoop,
Thinking he 'ad done enough TO pur-
chase
Thanksgiving day among the churches.
Thus wrote Butler in 1861. during
Oliver Cromwelfs tenure OF power.
and il clearly proves that at time
when the observance OF the day was
but just beginning To be regularly
kept in this country. the English rec
ognized the day tery generally as one
OF JOY and feasting.

THE RETURN OF ANNABELLE.

Once upon a time there was a
girl and her name was AnnabeIle,
and she was the most popular
girl in town and she worked in
her fathers drug store, waiting
. on the customers.
Many had been the offers for
her hand but for all she had the
same reply: That her place was
with her father in his store, who
could not get around very we'll on
account OF having chilbIains.
Well, the young fellows Of the
town would always drop in and
buy a nlckel's worth Of burdock
root or nus vomica, whether they
needed ii or not, just to get
chance TO chin with Annabelle,
who would chin with them 70 help
the business along unless they
got serious.
II they got serious she would
ring up the nickel and say she
had a prescription TO fill or make
some other suitable excuse.
Well, one day travelling drum
mer came along by the name OF
Ad. n. Plaster, selling sure cure
for chllblains.
The n. in his name stood for
Hesive, after an ancient king IN
the time Of Tightwad, noted for
being very close.
Well, the result was that Anna
bellies father tried the chllblaln
cure and got cured, and Anna
belle. as she felt so thankful, and
as she would not be needed in
the store now, decided she would
marry and decided she was. as the
saying goes, stuck on Plaster.
Annabelie went 10 live In her
husbands home, in Paris, Ind. at
ter they we're married.
IL happened one day that Anna
betteis father fell off a stepladder
as he was climbing up 10 get
some insect powder for the land
lord OF the local hotel, and care
ful examination revealed that he
had sustained a sprained ankle.
Imagine the delight Of Anna
behe's old besux and imagine the
prlmping up and the boom In bus
mess at the barber shop when the
town paper came out the next
day with the following article:
druggist jeff HeImIck had the
misfortune TO fall OF stepladder
in the store yesterday and sprafn
an ankle. AS he will have no one
to help him in the store, and as
the doctors say his ankle will
