Used Don for Fur.

No dogs are allowed to ride in the
New York subway unless they are con-
cealed in bakets so that the guards
may not discover them. but recently a
young woman put it over on one of
those persons who tell you to "step
lively" Passengers noticed that she
had a beautiful dark fur coiled about
her hands, and also noticed that she
snuggled it to her cheek occasionally,
as if the very possession brought her
delight. Even the guard noticed the
careful affection for the pur-and
that's why she had to leave the train
before she reached her destination.
The guard had noticed that the fur
suddenly became animated and from
its mass there emerged two tiny, beady
eyes and the almost indiStinguishable
snout of a toy Pomeranian. BY the
ruse that almost succeeded the young
woman had both avoided the necessity
of purchasing piece of fur and had
also evaded the subway ruling that for
bids the carrying of uncaged animals
on the cars.

three months their number was almost
One-half of the entire company. But
with the spring time life looked more
kindly upon the e1iles; summer smiled
on their corn fields, and autumn
brought abundant harvest. A few little
dwellings had been built, and prepa-
rations had been made for others, max
ing tiny oasis of homes on the desert
of the New World. Then it was that
Governor Bradford issued his first
proclamation, and the Pilgrims and
their Indian guests partook of that

CLOSE TO HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
Particular Reason Why Thanks
giving Day Should Be Gen.
orally Celebrated Here.

NNE of the oldest and best beloved
holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week-oldest in
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated 1t when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because it is a holiday all our own,
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the world
celebrate Christmas, New Years and
Easter. Even our Independence day
has it's echo in the French July IA, but
Thanksgiving day is the entire proper
" of the American people, and per-
haps this adds the extra luster which
makes it day apart in the heart of
every citizen.
It's origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with a
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. In real
ity it is national harvest festival, but
its meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday is accorded US for
the rendition of thanks for the bless
ings of the entire year.
We find that during the Revolution
the observance of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year
Thanksgiving day. This was an an
nual occurrence until the end of the
war, when a day was set aside in
1884, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn of peace. Again in 1889 Wash
