Why We Should Be Thankful

Because water never makes you sick.

" you are not thankful because some
thing is. won can he thankful because
something isn't.
And this reminds us of the man who
needed shoes and was thankful because
he was not centipede.
And the bald man who was thankful
he never needed n haircut.
Which reminds us Of the man who
was broke and was thankful because he
had indigestion.
And the one with the wart on his
finger thankful for the finger.
And the man thankful because he had
tooth tn ache.
But above all comes the man who was
thankful just because he had sense
enough to be thankful
And that's that, thank goodness.

FASHION HAS AGAIN
RAIDED THE BARNYARD

PARIS. Nov. 30.-Fashion, in her
ever insistent search for novelty. -
gain has invaded the harnyard. Rooster
feathers have come back. They are the
latest things on smart Paris hats, and
even on evening gowns. All eolors are
used. and when the rooster can't sup
ply the shades. the dyer does. However,
natural white and black are the most
popular colors.
Rooster feathers are about as cheap
a material as can be found. but their
use on chic hats has not lowered the
price of bonnets. One little hat shop is
displaying these simple but smart"
things at $50 francs. while other
stores ask 500 and 600 francs.
