were entertained in various ways during
Preparations Tor an elaborate pro
gramme had not been made by the .
M C A but both this organization and
the Y W C. A. entertained all who
came. The programme at the fornver
Institution did not begin until 8 o clock
last night. The leading event was the
telegraphic indoor athletic meet with the
Salem association.
Provisions for those who, on account
of sickness or a lack of employment,
were not able to buy good things for a
Thanksgiving dinner, were donated b
the Salvation Army and similar bodies,
and many a home was filled with
Thanksgiving cheer as a result lhe
women of tile Flower Mission visited the
hospitals and many Invalids, leaving
gladness behind them. And then there
were many acts of kindness and help
fulness done b friend for friend, or by
one neighbor for another, which very
rarely find their way into print, but
which go to make up the sum total ot
the world's joy.
Dinner at Hie V. V. 0. A.
About 50 young women participated in
the dinner given by the Y. W. C. A.,
nearly all being without homes in the
dry. After the repast was over, at o
j'clock. toasts became the order. Miss
Mary Day. educational and religious di
rector, toasted "Our Guests," Dr. Emma
Maki gave a toast to "The Wishbone.
Miss Madge Hill's toast was on 'Other
things," Mrs. Cole gave a toast on The
Drumstick." a toast to "The Y. W. C.
A " was given by Miss Merta Boynton.
while Miss Constance McCorkle acted as
oastmistress. The dinner was followed
ay a short programme and games.
"Miss Pearl Chambers, the new mem
bership secretary, led a musical story.
Miss Ruth McCorkle told a number of
Uncle Remus' negro stories, Miss Ber
nlce Waring led a puzzle group in which
the directors of the association figured,
and these "stunts" were followed by col
lego songs by. the girls. Miss Blanche
Robeson gave the garden scene from "if I
Were King." and the portrait scene from
Peg Wofflngton.
bout 58 children sat down to dinner
at the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, rep
resenting nearly every county in the
state. The number would have been 64
were it not tor the fact that a childless
couple asked permission to take six of
the boys to dinner with them. They
were called for promptly at 12 o'clock
and taken for an automobile ride, after
which they were taken to the home of
their generous hosts and given an excel
lent dinner.
Through the generosity of the many
friends of tlie institution, the children at
the Receiving Home were provided with
a bountiful supply of turkey, chicken,
cranberry sauce, oyster soup, pumpkin
and mince pie. celery and cocoa. After
the dinner was cleared away the chil
dren were served with nuts and apples,
and later in the evening, through the
kindness of the Hazlewood Creamery
Company, and the Pacific Coast Biscuit
Company, ice cream and cakes were
served. The remainder of the day was
spent in playing games and singing.
All Recent Arrivals.
It is somewhat Interesting to note that
out of the large number on hand there
are hut five children who were at the
Receiving Home last Thanksgiving day.
being three boys and two girls. Two of
the boys are mentally defective; the other
hoy being returned from a family home.
Of the girls, one was committed by the
Juvenile Court of Multnomah County not
to he placed out. and the other has been
returned from a family home.
Dr. Benjamin Young, pastor of the
Taylor-street Methodist Church, delivered
the Thanksgiving sermon at the White
Temple union services. Rev. E S. Muck
ley, of the First Christian Church, read
the Thanksgiving proclamation. Dr. W.
H. Heppe. of the First Congregational
Church, offered prayer, while Dr. J.
Whlteomh Brougher presided. The or
gan and choir numbers had been es
pecially selected for the occasion, and
under the direction of Choir header Jj W.
Belcher were very effective.
Dr. Young took for his text Psalms
100:4-5. ar.d said, in part:
The author of this psalm hef) the happy
facility of looking on rhe bright side of
thing H had legltlmato reasons for call
ing upon -"all the earth to make a Joyful
nolle unto the Lord." He recognized that
reunion was no Insignificant factor in man's
life. He believed that a great part of
human happiness was found In the acknowl
edgment of God His heart reflected the
sunshine and his face had the upward
look.
Advises Taking Inventory.
It Is a good thing to take an occasional
Inventory of life. Take time to cultivate
a spirit of thankfulness. "It is a good
thing to give 'thanks." Do not worry. One
Atlas Is enough, and the pillars of heaven,
we have learned to believe, stand without
our support. You have not been asked to
carry the world on your shoulders. Re
member that Invited misery will give your
friends the fidgets. It will Incapacitate your
children for the duties of life and shut
your own heart to Uia finer things.
The call to thanksgiving is particular
and personal. Each one ought to conduct
a thanksgiving service on his own account.
The past year has brought many blessings
to you The world Is not so mean a place
after all. You have opportunity for work
and for service for your fejlows. You may
place the emphasis Just where you please;
you may not be satisfied with many things
about you. yet the general truth admits
no denial. "All things come down from the
Father of Light." There are Innumerable
reasons why you should lift heart and voice
with the multitude throughout the land In
that glid pean of thanksgiving. "Bless the
Lord. O. my soul, and all that Is witrrln
me. bless His holy name."
As citizens we have many reasons fir
thankfulness. I do not mean thftt we shall
lose ourselves In mere reverie or song ,.f
xt-.i. There is work tu be done by the
I
HOMOS
true patriot. We are not In much particular
danger from external foes, but we shall have
to be on guard lest corruption, debauchery
and sin lncroach upon the stability of the
foundations of the Republic. There are
crtaln grave evils which must be ex
terminated. We shall have to see to it that
our leaders In whose hands we place In large
measure the destinies of cities, stat and
nation, are men of Integrity and purity of
life. The men who lead us must be men,
clean of thought and lofty Ideal. The
cheap -politlclan we must relegate to the
rear. Inasmuch as this is necessary to
Just and stable government, we must be
active in the battle for righteousness.
Problems Will Be Solved.
Some of our problems are serious, but they
will be solved In due time If we cleave
to that which Is Just and true and pay due
reverence to the traditions which buttress
the nation. We should thank God for the
opportunity given to us to help lift the
country a little toward the Ideal. We are
thankful for our founders and the men who
have made us great; for our freedom and
I our Institutions: for our system of govern
I ment and for our opportunities; for the
manifest senltlvfness to the Infringement of
Individual Uberty: for the Jealous guardlnj;
of legal and civil equality and for the grow
ing love of history and order among us. It
Is a magnificent record which haa been
"written since the landing on the bleak
shores of New England. We owe much to
Clod. In our problems ' and questions en
meshed by the sins and the selfishness of
men we must not forget the Divine. We
must count God In. or the ends we seek will
only serve to Intensify our discomfiture and
accentuate the depth of our degradation.
Therefore let us "'enter Into His gates with
thanksgiving, and into His courts with
praise; give thanks unto Him. and bless Hs

Dr. Foulkes' Sermon.
'At the First Presbyterian Church,
where all the Presbyterian churches of
the city held union services yesterday
morning Dr. William Herman Foulkes
preached. Pastors of other local churches
assisted in the services. A male chorus
tomposed of the following sang "The
Sands of Time are Sinking:" Rev. Harry
Pratt. Rev. Henry Marcotte. Rev. J. V.
Milllgan. William Phelps. Rev. William
Hiram Foulkes. Rev. A. D. Soper, Rev.
B. E. S. Ely. Rev. John Welch. Rev. E.
Nelson Allen and Rev. J. A. P. McGraw.
Taking as his text the Scripture, "I
will praise the name of God with a song
and will magnify him with thanks
giving," Qr. Foulkes said, in part:
To sing Is Instinctive. From the cradle
to the grave the soul sings Its way. It
listens to the lullaby of Infancy and Joins
In the merry rhymes of childhood: the ro
mantic effusions' of youth are upon its lips,
while tender songs of home and heaven
crown Its days. I ask you to join with me
In composing a Thanksgiving anthem to be
sung not from the lips,, but from the heart.
During the past year wc have looked
upon the divine wisdom and power. We
saw it In the beauty of the Spring and
the glory of the Autumn. We heard the
sound of His chariot wheels as He rode
In the thunders of the storm. We bowed
before the devastating breath of His word
of power. Yet amidst all this, the tiling
most plain has been His never-failing good
ness. At the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception and St. Mary's Cathedral sol
emn high mass was celebrated at 9
A. M., and the Thanksgiving sermon
preached.
Holy communion was held at'the Trin
ity Episcopal Church at 8 A. M., and at
10:30 o'clock In the morning the Thanks
giving service was held.
JIM HILL'S TURKEY DINNER
City's Worst Drunkard Dines as
Usuul in Jail.
Turkey with at least some of the usual
trimmings was served to prisoners in the
City Jail yesterday, and Jim Hill, the vet
eran dipsomaniac, was there, as usual,
to eat his Thanksgiving dinner. Ever
since he fell from the water wagon, 40
years ago. Hill has never failed to eat
turkey at the expense of Portland tax
payers the last Thursday In November.
When Jailer Bndicott served the turkey
dinner at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Hill was on the spot with a big smile
to receive a steaming plateful of the holi
day bird.
"Sure, 'nd who wouldn't eat at the
Hotel Cameron on a holiday?" quoth Jim.
when he caught sight of the templing
spread. "It's he.ppy 1 am to think that
I got drunk 'nd was pinched. What a
snap highballs fer me last coin; de cop
comes along and pulls me. and here I
be, a-eatin' turkey and juicy sauce fer
T'anksgivih' dinner."
Jim chuckled. It pleased him to think
how often he had worked the old trick.
Just before every holiday Jim "tanks
up." is arrested and his big dinner is
assured. Thereby he secures a Joyful
""jag" and "the big feed" for the price
of a few drinks.
However, there was a vacant chair or
two tills Thanksgiving, and Jim noticed
it. Poor old Joe Goggins. glnfiend, died
during the year, and his familiar face

was not seen behind the bars yesterday.
"How I miss him." sighed Jim Hill as
he poised a forkful of turkey medi
tatively. And Jim Casey he of the slender body
and craving for whisky. He was not
there, for this year he could not muster
the price of sufficient drings to war
rant his arrest by the police, and he
missed his turkey dinner.
"It's queer." said Jim Hill, noting
Casey's absence, "that a man cant' get
drunk enough to get grabbed In time fer
his reg'ler turkey dinner. I'd nuit me
job if I couldn't get In here and have
mine."-.
But while Jim Hill ate with great relish
the usual spread It was an unsought
novelty to some of the prisoners, whose
habits had brought about arrest and in
carceration for the first time, and al
though Jim never once felt a heart pang,
there were some wh'o did. and not a few
plates were sent hack untouched.
Upstairs In the women's ward. Matron
Simmons had several to feed. Chief
among them was Ida Williams, who, like
Jim Hill, has not failed in years and
years to be in jail on every holiday to
eat a free "spread." Liquor is the curse
of her life. too. and although times with
out number she has " sworn off." Thanks
giving day always finds her a guest of
the city.
SOME OF CITY'S BLESSINGS
Dr. Clarence True Wilson Preaches
Thanksgiving Sermon.
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of Centenary
Methodist Church, occupied the pulpit of
the .Second Baptist Church yesterday
morning at the union services. He was
Introduced by Rev. S. C. Lapham. the
pastor, and gave a brief review of the
progress of the American Nation. To
ward the close of his sermon he declared
that the American people should be
thankful that in President Roosevelt
they have an executive who ' has the
bravery to strike at the vitals of corrup
tion in high places, regardless of men
or party. Such action. he declared,
pointed to a higher standard of public
morality and an elevation of public con
science. In speaking of the American saloon.
Dr. Wilson declared that there was gath
ering a mighty public sentiment that
was steadily depriving it of its power to
ruin and spread .desolation. Of the
things for which Portlanders might be
thankful. Dr. Wilson said:
"Only a little more than three years
ago houses of 111 repute disgraced our
public streets and flaunted their shame
beside the churches of Portland, but
thanks to a Mayor elected by the Inde
pendent . voters, they have been driven
back. Gambling, king of all vices which
ruin old and young, and' that was open
and without restraint In Portland, was,
driven away by a Sheriff elected by the
Independent voters of this city. The slot
machines that taught the young boy the
first lessons of gambling have been
driven from public place. And only six
months ago, the District Attorney, feel
ing the sweep and power of public senti
ment arising, promulgated an order in
Portland that closed up on the Lord's
day more than 4S5 saloons.
"I shall say here in this pulpit, as I
have said in my own. that a man should
mix his religion with his politics, and If
he does not do this he has little re
ligion. The time has come for every
Christian man to break away from
party lines and vote for the right men
and for the right measures."
A collection was taken for the Florence
Crittenton Home.
AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME
Fifty-five Little People Revel in
Thanksgiving Dainties.
Thanksgiving day passed happily for
the little ones in the Children's Home in
South Portland. At 2 o'clock the dinner
bell signalled all to form in line and
march Into the large dining-room in
couples a boy and a girl together. The
tables were arranged to form the letter
T. and happier faces are seldom seen
than were those of the little ones as they
watched the carving of a huge 25-pound
turkey. Relays of more turkey from the
kitchen, turkey and dressing, snowy
mashed potatoes and brown gravy, cran
berry sauce and bread disappeared as by
magic. The table decorations were pink
carnations and ferns. After dinner each
child left the table grasping tightly a
big orange.
In the nurseries games and music were
enlivened by noisy chatter and peals of
merry laughter.
The entire dinner with the floral dec
orations was the gift of a generous pub
lic. Not a small portion of It came from
the school children. At present there are
55 children in the Home.

Army of the Unemployed Dines
at the Free Lunch
Counters.
SHUN BARTENDER'S EYE
Improvident Laborers Out of Work
and Short of Money Spend
Holiday Glumly in Sordid
Surroundings.
Ravenous and hurried bolting of the
plain bill of fare of a free-lunch
counter under the cold scrutiny of an
unsympathetic bartender who may de
cide to Interfere at any moment. Is not
generally recorded as a part of
Thanksgiving day convention. Yet It
was just as much such a part yester
day In Portland as were the football
games and the family reunions. Not a
dozen or a score, but several hun
dred had their feast in that manner.
Burnslde street. from First to
Fourth, did not celebrate the day, for
that matter, but rather endured It.
This gaudy thoroughfare was the
mecca of the improvident unfortunate,
whose number has three figures at
least. Every luckless laborer who is
in town "strapped" makes this his
rendezvous dally. But it is on such
a day as Thanksgiving only that the
presence of such individuals is strik
ingly manifest.
The army of the unemployed just
now is larger than in years, owing to
the reductions made in working forces
on railroads, at mills and in fac
tories. Those of the unemployed that
saved for a rainy day were not repre
sented to any extent, of course. It was
the man whose only wants are three
meals a day, a night's sleep after a
day's work, and a debauch at the
month's end when wages are paid,
that was in evidence.
Now and then one of these picks up
a job and goes back to his old routine.
Then he Is happy, for, without work,
the routine is made Impossible by the
removal of every part of it, including
the three meals. Dozens get back to
work every day In some logging camp
or railroad camp. But the Influx Is
greater than the outgo at this season,
so that a depreciation of numbers Is
not likely until Spring, when It is
warm and pleasant in the country and
there Is more work to do.
Becomes Painful Reality.
There were some 500 of them on
hand yesterday; that Is 500 of the Im
provident ones who work a Summer
through for a few hundred dollars and
spend It all in a night. Tomorrow Is
a term that has only a remote signi
ficance, at least until It has become a

AT THANKSGIVING DINNER
grim and painful reality. And it was
that yesterday: far more than on the
days preceding, for your spendthrift
is gifted with Imagination and usually
there is a world of sentiment in his
makeup. Very often he has been raised
on the farm, and the contrast of the
olden days with the present day of
Thanksgiving Is as Inevitable as un
happy. It was patent from the very aspect of
the Burnstde-street army yesterday that
the day was one of unusual significance.
Generally they find diversion enough,
standing about the corners and discussing
everything under the sun, listening to
some street faker or the hysterical rant
ings of some crank, or in spending for
beer a little more of the almost vanished
money.
But yesterday there was none of this.
For the most part they moved about
alone, moping at corners, staring vacant
ly and doubtless contrasting the day with
some happy Thanksgiving day of the
past. It is safe to say that the per capita
wealth of the 5O0 was less than 11000.
and that there were fully 100 that had
less than SI each.
With the approach of night the chill
drove them indoors, chiefly to the sa
loons, of that district. The owners of
those places had very thoughtfully and
generously provided rather an elaborate
free lunch. Otherwise those with money
might have spent the money that really
belongs to the saloonkeepers for food.
Sometimes Btrys Food.
When an Improvident la confronted
with the alternative of buying food or
drink, and has money enough for Only
one or the other, he will sometimes de
cide on food, if he is hungry enough. So
to protect their Interests from those that
are their rightful prey the liquor dealers
lay in a little to eat. thus removing the
necessity on the part of their most de
voted patrons of wasting any money at
restaurants.
- Such dinner parties were numerous in
the Burnslde-street district last night.
Every free lunch counter was surrounded
by Its hungry hosts. Some, afflicted with
either timidity or pride, would eat but
one course and pass on to another sa
loon for the next. Perhaps this was only
a precaution, though, for the man who
tarries long at a free lunch counter and
does not buy enough at the bar to pay
three or four times over for what he
eats, will presently come to enjoy the
bad opinion of the barkeeper.
As here pointed out, free lunches are
not maintained from charitable motives.
The man who comes In, treats the house
and eats a pretzel Is the model. The
man who mopes in. covertly fills up on
roast beef, crackers, potato salad and
onions and then mopes out without buy
ing is regarded as a butcher regards a
dog that makes away with a choice loin.
Whether that same man spent his Sum
mer's wages in the place last week does
not matter.
Dimes Go for Beer.
In this way the army of the improvi
dent and unfortunate spent its Thanks
giving. Those that had a few dimes left
enjoyed beer with their cold roast and
evaded the frowning bartender thereby.
By night entertainments for those that
are black-listed at saloons because of
continued visits ana persistent failure to
Invest, was afforded by a bewhiskered
singer who howled dismally about "The
Old Folks at Home" and things equally
appropriate to the occasion. His audi
tors looked on in silent appreciation and
rewarded him now and again with a few
small coins as he hobbled about on
a wooden leg passing his black campaign
hat of the '63 vintage. He said he lost
his leg at Gettysburg, which may be so
and probably isn't.
The blind fiddler and maker of extem
poraneous verse was also In evidence, He
worked hard and insisted on being better
rewarded for his efforts, but the crowd
didn't have the money. An old woman
with a mania for Bible lore, was passing
out orthodox salvation tonics in voluble
doses, but the crowd didn't seem to like
her medicine and there was only a scant
half dozen standing before her with open
mouths, doubtless in wonder at her amaz
ing volume of voice.
There were other people In town over
whelmed by plenty and confused by the
variety of bright amusement afforded
people who couldn't decide whether to
go to the ballad concert or the college
ball, to the theater or a private social
entertainment but. of course, that's quite
another matter.
TURKEYS FOR ALL EMPLOYES
Wells-Fargo Express Company Dis
tributes About 500 Birds.
Employes of the Wells-Fargo Express
Company who have been in the service
six months or more were presented with
turkeys yesterday for their Thanksgiving
dinner. The Portland headauarters of

keys because of their service with the
company number 500.
This pleasant custom of the Wells-Fargo
Company is said to have been originated
through an Oakland. Or., turkey. Colo
nel Tom Elliott, chief route agent for tne
company, Is said to have eaten one of the
famous Oakland turkeys two years ago
and then and there decided that every em
ploye of the company 1n the West should
thereafter have one ot these splendid birds
to grace his table at Thanksgiving.
During the past week there were ex
pressed five carloads of turkeys from
Oakland. Merrill, Roseburg and Medford.
A part of these went to supply the em
ployes of the Wells-Fargo Company.
The Oregon turkey Is said to reach its
best development around Oakland. There
the birds grow big and fat and bring a
large profit to the farmers.
BUTCHERS ENJOY A SMOKER
Shop Talk Barred at Gathering of
Retail Meat Dealers.
The Portland Retail Meat Dealers' As
sociation held a Thanksgiving smoker
last night at the rooms of the organiza
tion. In the Allsky building. The affair
was very successful, the trade being
well represented by leading members.
The room was comfortably filled and a
pleasant evening was passed. Card tables
were placed about the haii. and whist
and pedro were played. After the mem
bers had amused themselves with cards
to their hearts' content, refreshments
and cigars were served.
Shop talk was barred by mutual con
sent, and the butchers gave themselves
up to purely social enjoyment. Some
could not refrain, however, from asking
brother dealers how business has been
during the financial flurry. All who ex
pressed themselves on this topic said
that the past week has been very' satisfactory'-
Public Dance and Turkey Raffle.
There were no social barriers at Mer
rill's Hall, where young people of the
working classes amused themselves last
night with a public dance. About 600 In
all attended, and at the end of the
dances seven large turkeys were raffled
off. Each person passing through the
doors of the hall was given a coupon, on
which a number, corresponding to the
number on his ticket for admission, was
printed. These tickets were shaken up
in a box, and the seven large gobblers
were given to the holders of the lucky
tickets. The dance last night was one of
th,e largest ever given In the hall.
At Temple Beth Israel.
Union Thanksgiving services were held
In Temple Beth Israel yesterday morn
ing by the Unitarian, Universallst and
Jewish churches. Rev. William Eliot, Jr.,
of the First Unitarian Church, offered
the opening prayer. The Scripture les
son was read by Dr. Jonah B. Wise.
Rev. J. C. Corby, of the First Univer
sallst Church, preached the Thanksgiving
sermon. The closing prayer was offered
by Rev. T. L. Eliot. There was a large
attendance at the services.
Service at St. Vincent's Hospital.
Thanksgiving day was celebrated at
St. Vincent's Hospital by benediction
service at 4 P. M.. at which Rev. Father
Alexander Cestelli, bouse chaplain, offi
ciated. Turkey dinner, with all accom
paniments, was served to all of the
patients who were able to partake. Many
valuable gifts of edibles were received.

AFTER a thoughtful perusal of the
menu card for the Thanksgiving
day spread given in honor of disting

ing at Sheriff Stevens congenial hostelry,
such fellow operators as were unable to
attend because of Mr. Heney's Inability
to arrive in Portland sooner to provide
the necessary invitations, will regret the
eminent prosecutor's delay immensely.
Every delicacy in season was on the
table that S. A. D. Puter, the land fraud
king; Dr. Van Geener, the land fraud
Lord Chamberlain, and M. A. Biggs, the
land fraud High Chancellor, sat down to
yesterday afternoon. It Is safe to say
that no home or hotel in the city had a
more attractive menu. The menu speaks
for Itself, in the following words:
Oysters on Half-Shell. Consomme.
Celery. Shrimp Salad.
Celery Salad.
Chicken Pie. Salmon.
Roast Young Turkey Stuffed With Chestnuts.
Cranberry Sauce. Apple Sauce.
Mashed Potatoes. Baked Sweet Potatoes.
Pumpkin, Mince and Apple Pies.
Plum Pudding. Hard Sauce. Cafe Nolr.
Assorted Nuts. Cigars.
Such was the elaborate banquet . that
the County Jail aristocrats enjoyed, all
served by the matron at a table all to
themselves. The other Federal prisoners
enjoyed a like treat at Sheriff Stevens'
expense. The only drawback was the
small attendance at the land fraud board.
"But maybe there'll be more of us at
the Christmas dinner," suggested the doc
tor, hopefully.
"Wouldn't McKinley be mad with envy
If he could see us now." put In Mr. Puter.
as he helped himself to turkey and passed
It on to Mr. Biggs.

SHORT STORY
Food That (hanged fits Life.
Many level-headed business men pay
too little attention to what they eat
until faickness attacks them.
Sedentary occupation, improper food
and dally resort to drugs, coffee or
liquors to "smother" the disease lias
put many a good man away.
"For many years my labors have
been entirely Indoors." writes a N. Y.
man.
"Naturally, want of exercise, coupled
with hasty eating of lunch with more
or less greasy food and pastry told on
my digestion.
"For a long period I tried scores of
remedies without avail, and finally I
was compelled to resign my position
as secretary ot an important business
association. My weight had run down
from 145 to 118 lbs. I was unable to
sleep naturally, rose unfreshed and
without ' ambition, simply dragged
about, feeling more dead than alive.
"About a year ago, at a meeting of
the Royal Arcanum, of which I am
Orator, I was advised by a fellow
member to try Grape-Nuts. But I
had no faith In treating the matter
with such a method, and said so.
"He finally won my promise to give
