Smith Block, Corner Third and Oak Phone 175 The Tramp's Thanksgiving Br MARJOR1E CLOUCH m yrlsht. l'.10. by American l'res .Vnnoctat Ion Kvelyu Holt, used thirty, was pre paring for Thanksgiving. She had Fluffed the turkey, made the cranberry sauce, baked the pumpkin pies, and there was nothing to do till it was time to cook the dinner. The cold was increasing, the wind was blowing, and the clouds were spitting snow. Miss Holt, seeing a few pieces of tho week's washing still on the clothesline In the yard, fearing they would be torn by the wind, went out to briu? them in. While doing so a tramp put his hand on the gate to open It. Paus ing, ho looked at Evelyn, then, opeu ing the gate, entered the yard. Lift ing his hat, bo respectfully said: "I'm sorry, miss, on this Thanksgiv ing day to throw anything unpleasant In the way of any one, but I'm a tramp, with a tramp's home, which is nowhere, and there's something I'm longlug for. I'd like to enter some family for the day where I can see others harpy about me. I've been working occasionally lately and earned some money; therefore I can contrib ute to the expense of the dinner. If you'll Just take me in, miss, for the few hours that remain before the day is ended you will confer an everlasting favor." There was something in the manner, the voice, the expression, of the man that touched a chord in Evelyn's heart. She did not reply for a few moments. She was thinking that she would like to give this pleasure to the poor wan derer, who spoke too sincerely to be Imposing upon her. Presently she said: "Come in and I'll give you some thing to eat, anyway. We're not much better off than you in this house, but we've got a good dinner. We al ways have that on Thanksgiving, even if we have to pinch in some other way." "You needn't pinch this year. I've got enough to pay for it all. And money doesn't do a tramp any good. Money is only fit for those who haven't the wandering fever." He entered the house with Evelyn, who offered him something to eat, but he declined, saying that he could buy what he needed. lie longed to be one of a family Thanksgiving party, and if he couldn't be admitted to their cir cle he would go away. As the different members came in Evelyn communi cated to them what he wished, and since no one seriously objected and he asked to be permitted to leave with them an amount to pay for the whole dinner he was suffered to remain. Shortly before the dinner hour he went away, saying that he would re turn, rie did return, and much im proved in appearance, nis stubble beard had been shaved, his hair cut, and he had evidently bought and put on a clean shirt. Besides, he had had a bath. When the family were seated at dinner he asked permission to say grace and when suffered to do so gave thanks not only for the bountiful pro vision, but also that It had pleased Ood to bestow upon this deserving family every comfort No one under stood what he meant by "every com fort." since they were all very much cramped for tbelr dally expenses. Grace had hardly been said when a grocer's wacon drove up and left a bottle of wine. Evelyn went to the door, received It and returned with a blank expression on her face. "It's one of the 'comforts,' " said the tramp. "Oh, I see,' Fa id Evelyn. "You sent It." "Yes. I told you I had enough to give us all a good time." Under the Influence of the dinner and the wine the company waxed genial, the tramp took on a mood far more pleasing than one who was a homeless wanderer, and all were glad they had taken him in. Finally, when the dinner was ended and they were all eating nuts and raisins, the tramp took a little book out of bis pocket, wrote something, tore it out and handed it to Evelyn. "Is that enough?" he said. "If not there's plenty more." "Evelyn saw before her a check for $10,000." "I don't know what It means," she said. "It tneans, Evelyn, that I'm Jim Scarborough. I went away fifteen years ago and have been a wanderer and a speculator ever since. You railed rne a dreamer, and so I was. I finally struck some luck and came back to let my story tell Itself. If I had come as myself you wouldn't have believed rne. That's n check for IIOKO, payable to you for you to dis tribute among this fnrnlly. I've got a I' it more for you In rase you're willing lo redeem your promise. If I would settle down and make money enough to support a wife." Every one at the table save Evelyn lookel st the man, wondering if he was mad. She simply gazed on him, wondering If all this were true or If she were dreaming. "This Isn't the place for private af fairs." he continued, "but I prefer to have It all out at once. I'm a rich man. but In one sense a trsmp. I have no home unless this Is to lie my home In the future." "This Is your home. Jim," said Eve lyn. puttlDg out her hand, and In the presence of all present be took br la hi arms STATE BAR ASSO. TO CAN SHYSTERS Editor Hood Klver News: I have recently arrived h jine from the uunuul session of the Oregou State liar Association and U'llcve that action taken at Its various sex sioiis will lie of Interest to the citi zens o( Hood Klver. On Tuesday. Nov. 1.1th, a business session whh helil In the forenoon, and after the ordinary routine work was transacted a committee was appointed on application to mem bership. The committee comprised Kx l'nlted States Senator ('. V. Ful ton, .). W. Morton and Mr. I.oun don. Six new members were put oil the roll. lu the afternoon Pres. Frederick V. Iloltnin delivered an address on the Initiative and referendum, which was of special Interest and very In structive. Mr. Holmau was fol lowed by Attorney Veazle with an address on the single tax proposi tion. Mr. Veazle bundled the subject lu an able manner. During the first day there was a lively discussion as to the disposal of the delinquent members and It was found u very dltlicult subject to han dle. For Instance, If a momlirr should collect for his client several hum! red dollars and appropriate these funds to bis own use for six months or more, and theu, after a complaint made to the grievance committee, he should, before the an nual session of the liar Association, "make good" to his client and the client should then disappear, It would seem that the grievance com mittee had no grounds on which to prosecute said delinquent inemlier, for lack of sntficient evidence. This subject was put over until the uext day by special order and brought up agalu Wednesday morning, and caused a lively discussion. Finally It was decided to appoint a special committee to formulate rules and regulations and also to devise tntnus by which there will be funds appro priated to prosecute delinquent mem bers of the Bar. At 1' o'clock In the afternoon on the ltith, Hon. Judge Huueke, of Spokane, delivered a very lutereslng address on "Criticisms of the Court," and was followed by Mr. (lelsler, who delivered an address on "Non-partli-an Jtidlclar.t ." On Wednes day evening, the last day of the ses sion, u banquet was tendered the association at the Commercial Club of Portland, at which there were a number of Invited guests. Among the latter was Hon. Oliver P. Mor ton, who has churge of the Tutted States reclamation service of Oregon, j California aud Idaho.
