 Pathe offers what is conceded to be the most thrilling and realistic wild west picture ever confined in one thousand feet of film It is en- titled Orphans of the Wild" and a feature of the same is a scene that shows an attack on an immigrant train. It has all the realism of the earlier pioneer days It is great.

This silm tells the thrilling story in six reels. and was produced using not less than 600 people in the making.

The Red Cross workers are doing much
to help in the present European war.
1t was founded in Geneva, Switzerland.
They train dogs to help in the ambu-
lance work. The dogs hunt under debris
and I'm trenches. st. Bernard and collie
dogs are the best for this training. They
have straps across their backs, coming
to the fore part, and at their necks Is a
flask holding a reviving drink for the
wounded soldier. On their backs are
bags holding antiseptic articles and
bandages If the wounded soldier is able
to use his arms. he can take the neces-
sary articles from the bag and help him
self as best he can until the ambulance
comes. The ambulance is sent for in
this way: The dog. IL in hearing dis
lance, will bark; If not he will take
some part OF the mans clothing and take
| II to the nurse or ambulance man, who
will get him. BY these means the dog
is very useful.
Many OF the noted women of Europe
are helping in this work They nurse
the wounded soldiers back to health. II
their injuries are slight they are able tc
so back to the front.

Origin of Thanksgiving.

By Lydia Bender, Aged Is, Larnor, Neh.
Blue Side.
Nearly 800 years ago a little girl came
TO this country from the other side OF
the ocean. Her name was Mary Aller-
ton and her father was one of the pill
grims The pilgrims were people who
had left their homes in England to seek
place where they might worship God
they pleased.
Mary's father learned that in Holland
a country not far away, he could wor-
ship as he pleased so he left London
with his family and crossed in a ship to
Holland.
In Holland Mary saw many strange
things. She saw the canals and great
walls called dykes.
Mary often heard her father and his
~ friends talk about Virginia, a land
across the sea. They said they could
live there under the rule of the king of
England and yet be free to worship
God as they pleased.
At last they made up their minds to go
TO Virginia, so they bought little ship
called the Mayflower and sailed away
across the ocean. At first Mary and
the other children liked to watch the
waves and to see the fish playing about
in the water. bur as the days passed by
they grew very tired of being shut up
in the ship. Then, too, they had several
storms on the way, which frightened
the children very much.
At last, after many weeks. Mary heard
a sailor cry. Land" There indeed, was
land, but It was not Virginia. The shiI
had sailed too far north and had reached
the coast OF what we call New England
The shore looked cold and bleak, but the
people had been on the sea so long thai
they We're glad to leave the ship.
How bare everything looked. Their,
were no houses, no people; only grea
forests and the gray sky stretching far

The pilgrims had to live in the shiI
until they could build houses. On Christ
mas day the work began there was M

no gifts, for her father and mother did
not believe in keeping Christmas.
