THANKSGIVING AT TOAD HOL
LOW SCHOOL.
BYCHA9. L. MAUItRK.
The pupils of Toad Hollow
School gave a special program on
last Thanksgiving. Preparations
were made for the occasion four
weeks before tbe program was
given. All the pupils did their
very best, for their parents were
going to come to hear them recite.
Thanksgiving came, the sun shone
brightly, and not a cloud was to be
seen in the sky. The parents came
too, with baskets, boxes, and buck
ets filled with the best kind of
grub, for they were going to stay
all day. At noon tbey began to
unload their boxes anl baskets and
piled the grub in great piles on the
desks. This made tbe room look
more like an exhibition room than a
school room. Everybody wanted
to have the best things. In short,
it was a real exhibition of chickens
frizzled, stuffed and unstuffed; gal
vanized tut key, roast pig, and pot
pie; doughnuts a loot long, sky
scraper cakes with jelly in between
the stories and candy on the roof;
pumpkin pie knee deep, and apple
butter pie with cross barred lids.
In short, it was the kind of grub
that sticks to the ribs. When the
parents and children were done eat
ing, some olthe children were quite
a sight to see, for they had their
faces painted with apple butter.
After dinner the program be
gan. The pupils all having been
drilled, scoured and polished by
the teacher, marched in like kings
and queens and took their scats.
The teacher gave bis speech first,
i. e. he read his plans of teaching.
They were: Make them study;
make them recite; use the hickory
freely, and get your pay, with the
accent on the last rule. All the
pupils did well. After listening to
a number of songs and recitations,
the teacher arose and said, "We
will now have the last number on
the program, an oration by Jim
tnie Dingelbender." Then arose a
thin cross eyed young fellow dressed
in his father's new suit, which he
had bought fifty years ago. His
shoes fitted too soon and his collar
was about five sizts too big. He
came upon the stage, and thunder
ed away at his speech until he came
to the climax oi his oration, when
he thunderci out, "Give me liber
ty, or give me, give me," and then
broke down.

Pocono Ice Crop A Million Tons.
All the Homes on the Mountain Filled to the
Root, but No Dealer is Ready to Pre
dict Cheap Prices Next Summer.
The work of harvesting ico on
the Pocono Mountains U practically
finished and every icehouse in the
mountain is filled to overflowing.
The blue prophets who predicted
early in January "no ice this year"
are not saying "I told you so "
Only the sanguine ones are rearing
the smile.
With a million tons or more of
twelve to fourteen inch ice stored
in the large houses it is hard to
conceive an excuse that the Ice
Trust will be able toccncoct to bol
ster up their position to maintain
the high, and in some instances,
prohibitive prices of last Summer
for the household necessity.
With the harvest over and man
agers and workmen looking for
ward to a period of rest it is easy to
get information of the great harvest
that is likely to prove of interest to
the public. It is not likely that the
entire crop housed on the Pocono 's
will be used next summer. Ice
will be pleutiful, but too much ice
is almost as bad for the consumer
as too little. The ice men are not
going to give ice away or let it go
begging on the market and past ex
perience has taught the owners of
the plants that it is a good thing to
have plenty of ice in their houses
toward the close of the Summer
season. This year is not going to
be an exception and the indications
are strong that there will be plenty
of ice left over. The quality of ice
harvested this year is exceptionally
fine and should hold out well. In
most cases twelve-inch ice was stor
ed but lor some days back seven
teen to twenty-inch ice was taken
from the ponds which had to be
cultivated before stored. The
heavy snow storms of February al
so added no small expense to the
harvest.
The ice ' frolic" about over and
the departure of no less thau fifteen
hundred or more men engaged in
the work will make great changes
on the Poconos. The men begun
tbe work early in February and
were paid $1 .60 a day. Soon after
wards they demanded $1.75 and in
most cases they received the in
crease. There was little labor
trouble.
The Mountain Ice Company con
trols large plants at Tobyhanna,
Pocono Piues, Pocono Lake and
Gouldsboro, also two small houses
at Pocono Summit. It is estimated
that this company has stored eight
hundred thousand tonsot ice. The
plan's of the Gouldsboro Ice Com
pany, the Lackawanna and Lehigh
Company and the North Jersey
Pocono Mountain Ice Company,
having a capacity of nearly two
hundred thousand tons are tinder
the control of the Mountain Ice
Company.
