The Chum Club Corner

Hello little Chums: What are you going to be thankful for this yearT I'll tell you what I heard one little girl being thankful for. She had been listening to her older sister reading stories of old English times, when they were going to punish one man by putting out his eyes with red hot pokers, and so with her own eyes as big as saucers she came to her sympathetic grandmother and leaning against her knee she said, "Well grandma, I'm just glad I didn't come down in those , awful times. I'm glad I came down here in America." And so are we. We're glad we can go to sleep without being afraid of bombs dropping on us at night, and glad our fathers and brothers aren't out killing other folks. We're glad there aren't Indians whooping around and shooting at us from behind treesand that no more bears and wolves ' come sniffing around our doors, as a hundred years ago. We're glad our ancestors have made for us the country we have, but gladder still we have our problems to solve to make our country greater and better. We're glad for good fresh air and sunshine, but most of all, ' we're glad for friends and homefolks, aren't we? And so, no matter what kind of a dinner we have next Thursday, ' let's eat every UERY CORNER The editor will try to answer questions readers of the Junior submit to her.

DELBERT CAIN Mice Enjoy One time many years ago, there lived a family named Cooper who bad a boy who was then ten years old, whose name was Tommy. One day mother said to Tommy, "Son, you must be a good boy after this because grandma and grandpa have invited us to Thanksgiving dinner." Oh, how Tommy clapped his hands because it was only two days until Thanksgiving. At last the time came to go, they were ready and riding away through the snow to grandma's house. Grandma stood In the door with a white apron on and waved a white handkerchief at them. When they were near she said, "Here are my babies; how glad I am to see you, I thought you weren't coming." They all went in and took off their coats and caps and Tommy went riding out back of the house on his sled that he had brought with him. Tommy had a grand time. After a while he got tired riding and came in and grandma said, "Let's go sleigh riding before dinner so we can eat more dinner. I will put the things in the oven till we get back." Tommy wanted to ride on his sled and grandpa tied, his Bled on the sleigh with a rope. I had forgot to tell you that a family of mice whose mistress was Mrs. Minnie Tiddlewink, lived in this house. Mrs. Minnie had friends to dinner. Grandma had left the oven door open and the mice helped themselves till at last they were full and went home. When the family came back from the ride grandma saw what the mice had done. Those naughty mice!" said she. "Oh, Mary,- she called to Mrs. Cooper, "Can you

Girl Chased

A True Thanksgiving Story. We took a trip in the country. We playedfter we got there. I became scared of the turkey and ran. He became angry because I ran. He said "Gobble, gobble, gobble." He ran after me and I hollowed, "Here comes the turkey." I told- my grandma and grandpa and they laughed. After while they went out and killed him. I laughed and said, "The turkey is dead, we will eat him." And we had a fine dinner. We had peaches, walnuts, apples and the old fat turkey. Some of my friends took a sleigh ride. We came back to my grandma's house and they took us to the station. We went home and that was the end of my Thanksgiving day. FAY LEPHART. 5A Warner School.

How Pumpkin Scared Billy

One Thanksgiving day Billy Johnson's grandpa came in a sleigh. Billy's mother wrapped him up and put him in the sleigh with his grand pa. They made old Dobin gallop away. Billy's nose and cheeks got red but he always thought of the big dinner that his grandma and several other ladies were getting for him and the other children. After while they drove up to the big camp fire where everybody was sitting around eating apples nuts and telling stories. Billy got out and ran around the pre, then he saw a jack-o-lantern. He ran to his grandpa and told him all about it. Then his grandpa told him what it was. After the women had the turkey, gravy, dumplings, corn bread, applejack, cake and coffee ready they all sat down, to the table. They sat on benches and stools. After the dinner they sat around the fire; some ran races and wrestled. After the sun went down everybody went around saying goodbye to the funny faced men in the dark. Billy got scared and ran back to Big Spread cook?" "Of course I can." Soon the two had more dinner ready than before. After all had eaten and" dishes washed they popped corn and grandma told stories of her time when the war was on, and how her little son (Mr. Cooper) had got frightened at the soldiers. She told many more. At last it was time for Coopers to go home. After many farewells and "come back again." The next day dawned on a very sick boy named Tommy. He had eaten too much dinner yesterday. His mother gave him castor oil and Tommy vowed never again to eat too much Thanksgiving dinner, but I am afraid Tommy forgot because he . ate more next Thanksgiving than ever. Tommy is a grown up man now and is married and has a boy and girl, and he never forget3 to tell them of the first Thanksgiving dinner he had at grandma's. THELMA I. DARLEY PRIZE COMPOSITION Last Thanksgiving we had a turkey. I know what we're going to have this Thanksgiving. We're going to have two chickens for dinner. And we're going to have orange and ice cream and apples too. And after dinner my brothers and I will play hide and go seek and when night comes we will go to bed.

the fire, for the jack-o-lanterns looked very angry. When he got warm, he and his grandfather got in the sleigh and rode away to Billy's house. His mother was very glad to see him. He told her all about the Thanksgiving dinner and then lie went to bed. RALPH KENNEDY 6th grade Economy School Notes About "Y 99 All Boy Scouts and Y. M. C. A, boys will take a hike Friday, December first Mr. Schwann and Mr. Brammer will go with the boys. All are urged to sign up as soon as possible at the Boys' department. V. D. B. . " Mr. Somerville, former boys' secretary, is now on the way to hia new position in Petrograd. He sailed from New York last Saturday, the eighteenth, and will be on the sea for two weeks. Because of submarines he is sailing as far north as possible and is expected to land in Archangel, going from there hundreds of miles by rail until he finally reaches Petrograd. Now, one of the most precious things Mr. Somerville possesses is his pass-port. It was a most interesting looking document, and told precisely every move he was to make. The work Mr. Somerville will take up is not called Y. M. C. A. work because the Russians object to that name, but it is practically the same in purpose. Still he will probably have some rather queer experiences and his letters will be most interesting to all the boys.
