Mayor Houses habit of shatterlhs

his refusal to issue Thanksgiving
day proclamation, giving as his Justl-
ffcation that every man, woman ooy
and girl in Topeka knew that today
is THANKSGIVING day. Perhaps Mayor
House is right in this conjecture. The
idea suggests itself that the mayor
may be influenced by the cost of paper
or maybe he is averse to writing

all of our poor faroi1ies had gas stoves

explains. but since gas costs so cents
and there is often not enough to cook
with even at that price, coal stoves are
getting to be a pressing need of the
Topeka poor. And the smaller the
stove, the better for the poor families.

Lydia caught the yearning glance in
his eyes as he looked thru her open
doorway at the daintily set table, and
as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
eyes at the thought of having at least
shared some of her thanksgiving with
another.
AS for the young man across the
hall, he did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner. The drift of his
thinking was discernible afterward in
his muttered remarks as he stood
with his hands in his pockets and
stared out thru the rain-rippled win
dow at the reflection of the lights in
the shiny wet street below.

Consolation for those with empty
purses is offered by the dean of Yale's
divinity school with the suggestions
that being without money makes peo-
pie cut out expensive wickedness,
starts a man looking for a job and has
an infallible power for pointing out
real friends. And there can be no
doubt about the truth of the latter oh
servation and that the empty purse
generally shows cal friends to be
scarcer than hens teeth.

Witnesses before the state utilities
commission testified that the country
faces a short coal output. 1t was also
shown that the bulk of the supply had
been sold to the railroads and steel
manufacturers in advance. The con-
tracts were made at midsummer
prices. The inadequate supply which
remains is to be sold to the consumer
at war prices-when the railroads fur
nish cars with which to deliver the
short supply.

BED TIME TALES

BY CLARA INGRAM JuDSON

AS soon as Toppy reached his home,
he sat himself down to think what he
could do for poor penned-up Mr..
Turkey And just because he didn't
happen to think of something, right
straight off, that would help Mr.
of him? And then he made the same
mistake that Mr. Turkey had made.
He tried to get somebody to help him
do the thing he might have done
alone.
all alone trying to think up some
thing?" he asked himself. I'll get
someone to help me think-let's see,
Foxy Squirrel is a good fellow at plan
ming. I'll go ask him what Mr.. Tur-
key had better do"
And away he went to find Foxy;

Shadow Wood.
Hello, Foxy" he called when he
spied Foxy at the tip, tip, top of a
big hickory tree. Come down!
want to talk to you"
Foxy knew from the way Toppy
spoke that something interesting was
a-foot and he raced down that tree,
scrambly, quick, you may be sure.
He listened carefully while Toppy
told him about poor Mr.. Turkey; how
the farmer had caught him and shut
him up in a tiny yard before killing
friends would get him out. So closely
did Foxy listen that he didn't move a
muscle-only the wiggle of his soft
little nose showed how eager he was
to hear the whole story and to be in
the fun if there was to be any.
And isn't he trying to get himself
out ?" asked Foxy when Toppy had
ended his story by saying that he was
afraid the farmyard creatures had for
gotten all about Mr.. Turkey

Foxy had his answer ready just that
quickly. I'D advise him to gnaw the
rope thru and get away" he said, with
twinkle in his eye that Toppy failed
to see.
Toppy stared. Why, of course, that
was the thing to do, Why hadn't he
thought of it himself? But it was too
late now. At least he could have the
fun of telling Mr.. Turkey. So without
even waiting to say thank you to Foxy
he started ipity, ipity, op, back to the
