IN THE zoo.

Not only," said the Buffalo Leader, "are there real buffaloes in this zoo, but in this park there are statues of buffaloes.
 Statues are made to look like real people who have been famous, and so when they have statues of buffaloes 1t means that buffaloes have been fa- nous.
 "They have these statues near our part of the park, too."
 "They have statues of us," said the Lion.
 Some of them are outside of our building" said the Lioness.
 'There are at least two there," add ed the Lion. Roar, roar, there are at least two"
 "How many animals there are In the park" said the Rocky Mountain Sheep. "Yes, this Is a big ZOO park, a very big zoo park. And 1t is so beautiful, too.
 "There are members of the Zebra family and of the different Deer fam flies here. and some of the Japanese Deer family. Old MT. Hippo and his brother is here.
 "There are two fine big Bactrian Camels here. They are proud, indeed, of their two humps. Each one has two humps. And they say that Is the way of their family.
 "There are Mute Swans and Trump eters, and they have a beautiful time swimming about among the leaves in the water. The leaves are beginning to fall, you see," ended the Rocky Mountain Sheep.

 "Oh, very we'll" said his mate, "Tll What other animals are here in this park zoo?'
 "There are many turtles and croco- diles, giraffes and oh, so many, many buffaloes.

THANKSGIVING.

We doubt if outside of New Eng land, people generally enjoy to it's fullest extent the day set aside for thanksgiving and prayer. Here of course we have historic pgecedent brought more fully to our minds and our conception of that first Thanks giving, through augmentation, now approaches a state which permits us to fittingly honor the anniversary of that first harvest.
 Adventurous to a degree, must have been these sturdy Pilgrims, to sail across a practically uncharted ocean to make their future homes in a land that was but little known: Their fight was much greater than that of which history tells against the savages-it was against physical collapse due to untold suffering, against the elements of New Eng land winter and practically against Nature, for the soil must be titled.
 Many books have been written of their experiences during these trying times; fiction has been added to Tact, yet the half has not been told. + we but stop to consider, letting our imaginative powers take us backeto the bleak New England shore ons winters day, we can see in our minds eye untold hardships and suffering. We can see the efforts of the leaders of that small band bent to the straining point, through ad- versity, yet through it all, we can sense the predominant thought in their minds, the thought which gave them strength to go on-that they had found a place where they could worship God, in the manner they thought best. -N TEr
 The intervening years have created a chasm which it is hard to bridge, even in our imagination, for the changes wrought have been so great. Modern conveniences have still made possible the worship of a Divine Power; they have made such worship more attractive and com fortable, in many ways. Yet when one stops to count the number of people in even a small town like this, who do not go to church regularly, the question naturally arises-what is wrong with the churches or the people?
 Does it not sometimes seem that if God was not so easily worshipped, if the church pews were not so com fortable and the music so appealing, that perhaps people would show a more devout spirit-Thanksgiving day and every day? Y '

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor of the News:
 MT. Lyles' letter in last weeks News was appreciated for the valu- able statistics therein given. The charter of the Water Company reads that the purpose for which the Com pany is chartered is to supply an abundant supply of pure water. The abundant supply" was discussed quite fully but I did not see any thing in the article about the supply of "pure" water. We all have ideas, some practical and some imprac tical of accomplishment. I want to offer the following: First: To immediately put stop to the use of that part of the Blackberry River in the village above the we'll, for the discharge of private drains; Second: To enlarge the present reservoir so that the overflow of mountain water every Spring may be preserved for use by the public; Third: To use no noun tain water for railroad purposes at any time; Fourth: To install an out fit for introducing chlorine into the we'll water whenever the reservoir supply is exhausted.
 According to their charter, the Water Company is bound to furnish pure water. A warning has already been sounded through this paper by our health officer. If a typhoid epi demic develops, the Water Company will find expensive legal proceedings confronting them fully as serious as the installation of water meters will be to the townspeople.

 "He used to live on fruit, mainly, and maybe he stHI does, for all know. I've never tccn Tn the monkey bananas he has eaten and of how he has leased some of the children who've come to visit him by throwing the skins of the bananas at them!
 "That's real joke, now, Mrs. Rocky Mountain Sheep.
 "He used to live with his family over there, anS other families used to live in the tree tops, too. Though sometimes an Orang-Utan is quite happy to be alone"

learn of his demise while still in tne

learn of his demise while still in tne prime of life.
 ,d Walter Peters was only a printer which to craftsmen means more than these few words imply. He could boast of no achievements in the fields of invention, literature or art, yet being disciple of Benjamin Franklin, he combined them all in the art preservative. Few take cogni- zance of these facts in every day life, for they have become so familiar through general usage that they are accepted with little regard for their value.
 The large majority of printers who have devoted the better part of +heir lives to the trade, are generally will ing to acknowledge that should they live much longer than the few years allotted to the average man, they would still have much to learn about their art. Thus a life of endeavor comes to a close, with the terse re- mark "that he was only a printer"
 Individually, these printers may be forgotten, but those individuals who have faithfully served the ideals of their craft, have left behind mon1- ment to their labors. A pamphlet, or book, perhaps, will be read years hence and in between the lines, one who is qualified may read and know that he who helped give birth to this okject, W-s more than only printer.

It was a good but perhaps an unnecessary practice. If a rod is we'll grounded in wet earth a bolt of lightning is not likely to leave a good conductor and enter a poor one.

At close range the arrow was as deadly as the bullet, 1t made less noise, and arrows could be discharged three or four times as rapidly as bullets from misunderstanding guns.
