A NEW MOV Special to COLORADO STATESMAN: For the first time in history, two religious organizations in the South, the one white and the other colored, are to unite in an educational project for the Negroes. It is an event that marks the beginning of a new era in the attitude of the two races toward each other. Sutton E. Griggs, Educational Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, has issued the following statement concerning the movement to daily papers of cities directly concerned: To the Public: The Southern Baptist Convention, white, through a resolution unanimously adopted at its recent session held at St. Louis, Mo., in May, 1913, has tendered its aid, moral and financial, to the National Baptist Convention, colored, for the purpose of insuring the successful launching of a National Theological Seminary to engage in the work of furnishing a better prepared ministry to lead the Negro people. The representatives chosen by the Southern Baptist Convention to confer with representatives of the National Baptist Convention have recommended that the Southern Baptist Convention donate fifty thousand dollars as the initial contribution of the white Baptists of the South toward the founding and equipment of the School. It is the purpose of those authorized to act in the matter to locate the school in one of the following five cities: Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta, Ga., Nashville, Tenn., or Louisville, Ky. It is hoped that the philanthropic citizens of the cities named will make offers for a site for the school, and tender such other help as their generosity may dictate. The character of the offers made will have a bearing on the final decision as to the location of the school. There are stong reasons justifying activity on the part of citizens to secure the selections of their city as the home of the proposed school. 1. Beginning with the business side of the matter, attention is called to the fact that the construction and equipment of buildings, calling for material and labor, and later the feeding and clothing of teachers and students, the business transactions of the thousands who shall have occasion to visit the city because of the presence of the school, will mean ulti- mately the increase of business done in the city to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars. 2. The experience of other cities having Negro institutions of a high order is that such schools help to raise the standard of living, improve the general tone of the life of the race, and greatly reduced the need of police activity in the region affected. 3. A vital need where there is a mixed population is sympathy and understanding between the races. The co-operation of the two races in the operation of the school will furnish a point of contact that will be a standing influence for peace and good will. 4. The foregoing are incidental benefits. The cause itself for which the school is founded is great. Only through high moral purpose can the Negro race hold its own in American civilization. It is to be the mission of this school to furnish to the Negro race a ministry and a leadership rooted and grounded in the principles of righteousness, able, by life and word, to lead their people upward. At the present time the Negro minister seems to be the largest hope of the world for the effective leadership of his people. There has been but little room left for the Negro to acquire distinction in the political field, and as a consequence leadership for the race will hardly come in large measure from that quarter. In the business world competition is so keen and the white race has so much the start that considerable time must elapse before the business life of the Negro will furnish a sufficient amount of material for race leadership. With civic and business avenues furnishing leadership only here and there, the Negro minister is left to occupy the throne almost alone. All of the needs of the race press down upon his shoulders. He should be one of the wisest and most enlightened men of the times. The ability of the Negro race to fit into American civilization without affecting it for ill largely depends upon the kind of ministry it has. No work ever undertaken for the Negro race goes more nearly to the core of the whole question of Negro advancement than that of the proper training of the ministry. This hour of the practically exclusive leadership of the Negro ministry is the time of all times to grapple with the question of making true religion the basis of Negro life. 5.

Vicious crimes, which are but noxious odors arising from moral death, will serve to call forth counter crimes of a vicious order, thus complicating a situation already bad. Enlightened self-interest freedom from the danger of a life infected by the dead soul of a race, dictates that the American people help the saved element among the Negroes—those saved to lives of genuine usefulness, to go forth and save their fellows. It is hoped that this city will make a substantial offer for the school. It is requested that offers assume definite and tangible form, and be placed in the hands of the corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Educational Board on or before March 12, 1914, as shortly thereafter a final decision as to location will be made. Persons desiring further information will be cheerfully furnished the same. Very respectfully, SUTTON E. GRIGGS, Cor. Sec. Nat. Baptist Education Board, 658 So. Lauderdale St., F1RST RACE RIOT 100 YEARS AGO One hundred years ago this month occurred the first serious race riot between Negroes and whites that is recorded in the history of the United States. Curiously enough, the scene of the disturbance was Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love." The proportion of Negroes to the entire population in Philadelphia, at that time was probably larger than any other city. For some time there had been various happenings to engender ill feeling between the races. The situation reached a climax on November 8, 1813, when a Negro fired upon and wounded a white man. In the excitement and disorder that followed many Negroes were injured and one of their meeting houses, at the corner of Brown and Fourth street, was nearly torn down by the mob. Indianapolis Ledger. Lansing, Mich., Nov. 15. —There is much praise heard here for George Smith, the Michigan Agricultural college Negro footballist, who shone in the games against Michigan and Wisconsin. Smith is a graduate of the Ferris institute in Big Rapids, where he received his first football training. Governor Ferris of Michigan recently said of him: "George Smith is a mighty fine boy, and I'm glad he is making good on that M. A. C. football team and in his studies. I am going to write him a letter and express my sentiments." WHITE PEOPIE ALARMED Guthrie, Oklahoma., November 14.—This state has the honor of possessing as one of its young citizens the wealthiest colored girl in the world. She is the owner of 160 acres of oil land, which she has leased through her guardian, J. T. Porter, to the Standard Oil Company. Two wells have been sunk, one of which yields 2,000 barrels a day, while the second yields 1,800 barrels. Despite the fact that she is receiving $475 every day of her life, which amounts to $14,250 a month or $171,000 a year, she is ten years old and lives the simple life, as do her playmates. Her wealth came through laud claims. Beginning the first of the year nine more wells will soon be in operation and if so Sarah's wealth will go into the millions. This, however, has not caused her good mother and father to get the big head, but they are living a comfortable life near Muskogee. The white people have become so alarmed at the enormous wealth of this young girl that they do not like such wealth belonging to a girl of Afro-American blood. Some of the whites want to enamel her, others to use skin success so that she might pass. But the politicians are becoming so stirred up that they favor making her white by passing a law to that effect. If so it will be the first brown skin girl to be made white by law. With all the traits and characteristics of an Afro American she has too much money and must be white. It's the same old idea of the white man that whenever a Negro achieves any distinction, either in the scientific or literary world, some white men want to declare them white. When Fred Douglass began to show his master ability as an orator and great statesman white people wanted to claim him; when Booker T. Washington arose to the top of the ladder as the greatest of modern educators white men wanted to proclaim him as their own; when Prof. Du Bois wrote the "Soul of Black Folk." white men and women urged that he was white; when Prof. Scarborogh wrote Greek text books he too was announced by white people as a white man; and now comes little Sarah Rector to be made white. Little Sarah, like the above named men, will stay with her race. She is proud of her mother and father and the Afro American blood that flows in her viens. When she becomes of age she will be sent to Fisk or Howard University, where she will be given a finished education.

RACE NEWS In St. Louis, Mo., in 1900 there were 6,516 Negroes who could not read and write. In 1910, when this Negro population had increased from 7,000 to 44,000, there were 4,799 Negroes who could not read and write. Klaw and Erlanger and F. Ziegfeld, Jr. are to star Bert Williams later in the season in "Robinson Crusoe," in which the colored comedian is to appear as Friday. Williams is said to have a 25 week play-or-play contract at $1,000 a week. Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 14 Madame Anita Patti Brown and her Sing-Tell Play Company arrived here today and will give a concert tonight, and on Sunday night will render a sacred concert. Their coming had been hearlded here by cable, and the press has spoken of them most favorably. They will travel in Jamaica for the next two weeks. New Orleans, La., Nov. 12. Jakey A. Brown, colored, secretary of the supreme lodge of Negro Knights of Pythias, was killed about 10:15 o'clock Friday night by Corinne Mantley, colored, at South Franklin and Canal streets. The woman said she shot him because he had been taking her money and spending it on another woman. She was arrested and charged with murder. The treatment of the Negro in our Southern states is ideal as compared with what it is in South Africa, where the parliament has lately past a law which forbids any white man to sell or even lease any land to a Negro. It makes the African a serf; he cannot work for himself. His escape is to go on a native reserve, or on a mission reserve. In Rhodesia the Government gave the American Board Mission 30,000 acres of wild land over twenty years ago. This is being leased to natives who will send their children to school and it is planned to sell homes to proper parties. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 10.—"The Negro has made more progress in America in the past fifty years than any other race," declared Rev. P. P. Womer at Plymouth Congregational church, Summit avenue on Wabasha street, last night. "We brought the Negro into this country and he is here to NO 12 stay," continued the pastor. "The only solution of the Negro problem is to educate the Negro and make an effort to transform him into a better man." Rev. Mr. Womer's topic was "The claims of the Negro as a Citizen and a Man." The meeting was one of protest against the policy of segregating Negro and white employees of the government. Another meeting will be held in Plymouth church Friday night to organize a branch of the National Society for the Advancement of the Colored Race, Perrysburg, Ohio.—Befreer James Wilson, 79, of this place became a white man, he was a Negro. That was 20 years ago. Today Wilson is white—even light complexioned. How it happened Wilson dosen't know, neither do scientists. He has been examined at the Jeerson Hospital, Philadelphia and at the John Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. Physicians gave it up. "When I was 45 my wife noticed a white spot about the size of a nickle on my shoulder," said Wilson today. "Five years later my entire body excepting my face was white. Ten years later my face became white. "I used to be a barber here, but when the white spots appeared on my arms and hands I had to quit. People thought I had the leprosy or some disease." Proving his assertion that he was formerly a Negro of the dark brown color, Wilson produced a series of pictures showing the process of turning white. COLORED LEAGUE IS ORGANIZED Chicago, Nov. 18 — The National Colored Baseball league will be booming when the 1914 season opens, Chicago promoters announced today, with clubs in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis and possibly Kansas City. White players will be ineligible in the colored league and its Chicago backers hope to pull big crowds. Incorporation papers for the new league were granted at Pierre, S. D., with capital of $50,000. Five Chicago men were named in the articles of incorporation. More helpful than all wisdom is our draught of simple human pity, that will not forsake us.—George Eliot. Daily Thought.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- More than 5,000 persons crowded the Twelfth Regiment armory at New York some few nights ago, where the emancipation celebration is being held. The meeting was the occasion of the lawyers' congress, held under the auspices of the emancipation committee. On the stage were seated colored attorneys of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, together with others prominent in business and professional life. The speakers of the evening were Edward H. Morris of Chicago, S. O. T. Watkins of Chicago and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore. The congress was presided over by James D. Carr, a colored attorney of this city, who has for ten years been connected with the corporation counsel's office. Carr is a Baltimore by birth. Councilman Cummings said in part: "Coming as I do from dear old Maryland, the birthplace of so many distinguished representatives of our race, the birthplace of our matchless leader, Frederick Douglass, of Henry Highland Garnet, who labored so long and successfully in this city; of Benjamin Benneker, of Bishops Handy and Wayman, of Frances Ellen Harper, that saintly woman of our race, and many others, I am proud to have the honor of participating in those exercises in celebration of the 50 years of achievements of our race, and proud to know that so many men and women who first saw the light of day on Maryland soil helped largely to bring these great things to pass.

No words of mine can speak more powerfully or convincingly of the progress of our race during the past half century than can the cold statistical figures. It is not for us to say that we have reduced our illiteracy unless we can prove it. "We will rightfully fall to prove that we have made remarkable steps from poverty by mere words. Bank accounts and property of various kinds speak louder than words. Happily we have in the last 50 years demonstrated our capacity to succeed as other races and people have and along the same lines, and the fact that we have shown capacity is a most hopeful sign. But with all that we have done, marvelous though it has been; with the glorious record of the past, encouraging as it is to us all—well might we pause and ask the watchman on the wall, 'What of the night?' 'What are the signs of promise?' To me the prospect is bright." "Co-operation" was the big theme at a meeting of all the colored teachers in the public schools, held at the M Street high school, at Washington, D. C. Henry P. Blair, president of the board of education; Dr. William M. Davidson, superintendent of schools; Capt James F. Oyster, former president of the board; R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Mrs. Caroline W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs, all members of the board, were speakers. Dr. Davidson said that in the fundamental principles of education all educators were agreed and that their differences were only in the application of the details. He declared that no "esprit de corps" existed which was quite so fine as that among teachers. This, he said, was due to the responsibilities which they shared. The liquor manufactured in Malaga, Spain, called ojen, and which has begun to meet with some favor in the United States under that name, is really a sweet anisette, colorless, and containing 38 to 40 per cent. of alcohol. The ordinary anisette—the Spanish national drink, aquardiente—is dry, ojen being exactly the same liquor sweetened. In the wine region of Spain the method of treading the grapes is everywhere about the same. The grapes are well spread out in the press and barefooted men or men wearing sandals or wooden-soled shoes tread them. President Wilson received by express a few days ago a fine fat opossum. "I am an old slave-time darkey," wrote Joe Farrow of McFarlan, N. C., the sender. "I heard that some one sent you a sweet potato the other day. Here is a 'possum to go with it.'" Full stops were introduced into English literature in 1520, colons in 1580 and semicolons in 1599. East Africa has come forward with a new wood suitable for lead pencils at a time when the supply of American cedar, so largely employed for that purpose, is approaching exhaustion.

Cuba in 1912 bought $3,000,000 worth of boots and shoes from the United States. youth of this city should "give a good account of themselves," as they were given opportunities greater than those enjoyed by colored children anywhere else, he said. He assured the teachers that the policy of the board in infor- ming equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster spoke of his "continuing interest" in the schools, and reminded the teachers and officials that they would always find him ever ready to serve them. Mr. Bruce explained that the University of Chicago has allowed an advanced standing to graduates of Normal School No. 2, and added that the officials of Howard university had a similar plan under consideration. With these additional opportunities Mr. Bruce said he hoped more teachers would take the opportunity of furthering their education. Mrs. Harris emphasized the need of teachers exemplifying in themselves the things which they taught. She said they should always strive to set a good example. Dr. Marshall complimented the teachers on the progress which he says, has been made in the colored schools, and spoke of the spirit of cooperation existing. Dr. Childs emphasized the need for proper discipline and respect for authority. He also discussed the vocational schools and the department of business practice in the colored schools. An exhibition, or more properly, exposition, managed wholly by Negroes, was held in the Twelfth Regiment armory at New York, in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro race and the progress made by the race since emancipation. Hundreds of wealthy Negroes and whites all over the United States contributed financially toward the exposition. The legislature of New York state appropriated $25,000 for the project, but that was not nearly sufficient. The difference was made up by those interested in the welfare of the Negro race. One wealthy Negro, owner of thirteen plantations in the south, and said to be worth close to a million dollars, gave a large sum. Delegations were present from Santo Domingo, Hayti and Liberia, the Negro republics. Hayti's delegation received especial attention from the American Negroes because of the fact that Hayti's first president was a Negro slave. The exposition lasted four days. A series of pageants showing the progress of the race was held. The first of these showed the Negroes in Africa a thousand years ago, teaching other natives of that country, not Negroes, how to weld iron. The second pageant showed Negroes in the Valley of the Nile and their first meeting with the Egyptians. The third pageant was entitled "The Rise of Ambition," and showed the race under Mohammedan rule. Then followed the slave trade in Africa and the bringing of slaves to America. Struggles of the race in the south were shown, and then the fight for freedom that followed, Frederick Douglass working with other Negroes, and white men like John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison. The final tableau showed "The Hope and Encouragement for the Future of the Negroe Race." French scientists say dogs spread consumption. Seventy million dollars have been expended by the reclamation service since the passing of the reclamation act in 1902, and $48,000,000 is available for use in the next four years, every cent of which will in time be returned to the treasury, according to the last report of the secretary of the Nationall Irrigation congress.

HUERTA HUGS O'SHAUGHNESSY HUERTA HUGS O'SHAUGHNESSY DICTATOR DRAWS DISTINCTION BETWEEN U.S. PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT. DRINKS TO AMERICANS MEXICAN CONGRESS OPENS AND FOREIGNERS PREPARE DEFENSE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Mexico City, Nov. 20.—President Huerta publicly hugged Nelson O'Shaughnessey, the American charge d'affaires, and drank a toast to the American people. While foreign residents were preparing to defend themselves against attacks by Mexicans and five nations were mobilizing war ships in Mexican waters President Huerta yesterday afternoon was playing host to the diplomatic corps at Chapultepec palace. Mr. and Mrs. O'Shaughnessey were greeted by the President at the reception at Chapultepec effusively, General Huerta embracing the charge d'affaires. After a moment's conversation he raised his glass and called upon the other guests to join him in the toast: "Gentlemen, and you of the diplomatic corps, I ask you to drink with me to the health of the American people!" In this pointed manner General Huerta made a distinction between the American government and the Americans. The foreign colonies here are preparing to defend themselves in the event of disturbances in the city following the convening of Congress by President Huerta. Announcement that the British West Indian squadron of three cruisers has been ordered to Mexican waters to protect British subjects in case of trouble caused a sensation here. American, German and French warships are already on the scene, while Japan is rushing a cruiser to the west coast of Mexico. Speculation as to what action President Wilson intends to take in the Mexican situation was increased by the knowledge that the American charge d'affaires, Nelson O'Shaughnessey, had received new instructions from Washington to wait at his post for further instructions and that important matters were under consideration. President Huerta, in his message to Congress this afternoon, will quote Napoleon in justification of his arbitrary dissolution of the old Congress, and he serves notice that he will ask the new Congress to grant him a political bill of health. Not even a reference to international relations is made in the message which Huerta has prepared. It has been learned here that the break between Carranza and William Bayard Hale, President Wilson's envoy, was due to Carranza's refusal to answer certain questions put to him. He tried in vain to get recognition, failed, and left Nogales for Hermosillo. Hale returned to Tucson, Ariz. Hotel Worker Electrocuted. Denver.—The body of Albert Buck, porter at the Elk hotel, was found hanging in a network of electric wires in the alley in the rear of the hotel at Seventeenth and Blake streets. In the opinion of Police Surgeon McKelvey the man was electrocuted, the little finger of one hand being badly burned. 8.000WYOMINGMINERS Will Abide by Agreement with Employers, and Refuse to Join in Sympathetic Strike. Cheyenne, Wyo.—A. G. Morgan, president of the United Mine Workers of America District 22, which consists of the state of Wyoming, issued a signed statement that the union miners of Wyoming, more than 8,000 in number, will not strike in sympathy for the Colorado coal mine strikers because Wyoming coal is being shipped into Colorado. His statement, in part, follows: "The Wyoming coal miners are doing like every other part of our organization is doing, helping financially to maintain the Colorado miners; in fact we are doing more than our share in this respect. "The agreement the Wyoming coal miners have with their employers contains no provision wherein the miners' organization can restrict the sale of coal or strike sympathetically with other strikers. "The Wyoming miners are not going to violate their agreement and our organization doesn't want or expect them to do so." McAdams Admits Killing Irwin. Cripple Creek.—Marion McAdams was arraigned in the District Court on the charge of murdering Walter Irwin in June, 1911, on the Witcher ranch, west of Cripple Creek. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of first degree murder, but guilty to murder in the second degree. COLORADO PROSPEROUS REPORT SHOWS STATE BANK DE- POSITS OF $42,034,381. Figures Indicates Heavy Increase in Wealth Due to the Large Crop Harvested This Year. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The combined resources of state and private banks and trust companies in Colorado are $55,192,400.08, according to the report of State Bank Commissioner Preiffer on the condition of financial institutions under state control at the time of the last call of the comptroller of currency, October 21, 1913. An increase of $2,500,000 in the resources of the same banks has taken place since the last previous call in August. There was $42,034,381.41 in deposits in the 141 state banks, 41 private banks, 7 savings banks and 21 trust companies at the close of business on October 21. The figures in the report bear no relation to the resources of national banks in Colorado. With the final beet payments made by the sugar companies on November 15 and other crop monies that have come into the state since the last week in October, the aggregate deposits in the state banks and trust companies, it is estimated, is now considerable in excess of the $42,031,381.41 shown in the bank commissioner's report. The substantial increase in resources is especially significant of a growing prosperity in Colorado when it is known that no new state banking institutions have been opened since the final report for 1912 was made. All gains are distributed among the banks which were then doing business in Colorado. In addition to the $55,192,400.08 resources shown in the commissioner's detailed report, there are also resources of $151,068.09 belonging to former loan agents who obtained bank charters before the passage of the new banking law by the Legislature last winter. Commissioner Pfeiffer has listed these separately. State to Loan $2,000,000 on Farms. Denver.—The state will have approximately $2,000,000 to distribute in small loans to owners of unencumbered property in and around Denver after the first of the year, if Volvey T. Hoggat, registrar of the State Land Board, gets the approval of a scheme he has in view. A like amount will be ready to distribute to the other parts of the state. Only small loans of not more than $1,000 can be made of the money, and it must be made on unencumbered land. Loans ranging from $100 to $500 are preferable. For the money the state will secure six per cent interest, bringing in an additional income to the state of almost $250,000 a year. Nine Estates Pay Inheritance Tax. Denver.—A total of nine estates were paid and taxes collected by Leslie E. Hubbard, inheritance tax commissioner, under the inheritance tax law. They are: Thomas J. McCue, Denver, tax collected of $203,15; Charles T. Bates, Denver, $347,91; William C. Schultz, Denver, $382,20; Anna H. Wheeler, Denver, $42,14; Helen M. Newberry, Michigan, $587,17; George W. Quintard, New York, $59.61; William H. Hermes, Denver, $1,427.90; Carl J. Peterson, Denver, $38; Madison Davis, District of Columbia, $69.28. Sheep Industry Shows Big Gain. Denver.—A big increase in the sheep industry in Colorado this year will help to swell the state's greatest income from farms and stock raising. This year's output of sheep is estimated at 2,000,000 head as against 1,500,000 last year. The value of the sheep this year will approximate $7,000,000, an increase of $1,750,000 over last year. More sheep will be fed in northern Colorado this year than ever before. Life Term Cut to 35 Years. Denver.—A commutation of sentence was granted by the State Board of Pardons to W. C. Barager, who killed his sweetheart, Miss Alvine Bollen, in Denver on Sept. 4, 1900, after she declared she would not marry him. Barager's sentence, which was for life imprisonment, was commuted to thirty-five years. Governor Grants Requisition. Denver—Governor Ammons granted a requisition for the extradition of Chris W. Wulf to Fremont, Neb., where he must face a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. Wulf was arrested at Greeley. Jail Matron Reappointed. Denver.—Mrs. Lida A. Dunnigan, who was matron, in the county jail under Alexander Nisbet, when he was sheriff, was reappointed to the place to succeed Mrs. Annie Adams. Board Files Briefs in Tax Suit. Denver.—Briefs supporting the contentions of the state tax commission and State Board of Equalization, in their mandamus proceedings to compel Finance Commissioner Pitcher to carry out their order raising Denver property assessments $101,902,000 were filed with the Supreme Court by Attorney General Farrar in behalf of the two state boards. Anticipating what Pitcher's defense will be, Farrar denies every allegation set forth in former suits in the District Court. The Five Points Wonder Store See Our Special 5c, 10c and Counters.

Many tn unseen guidance, I or to satisfy their cost of their great luck, for remember the Source as well as the mind opportunity for a united of all of the world of the greatest words in one way to the expressions which the human he thankful and to express. Let us not miss it. Multogether necessary, helpful, and the Thank you have been afflicted, to promise, the hope or th disappointed or th so been strengthened aer effort. If you have new spread over you in modesty, rather to strengthen your secu are enjoying the fruits the sunshine that lighter the wisdom that directed and sustained you of nature over which y great or small, thrill God that He has generous reward. WHOEVER, cannot be thankful, cannot even begin to appreciate life. The privilege of living and knowing that there is a mighty universe, full of mysterious life, and that for some also mysterious, but powerful reason we form an infinitismal, but eternal part of it is a great blessing. We should be thankful for life. But the smallest favor, the most meager pleasure that we enjoy, is also a blessing, and for each and all of such blessing we should be thankful also. Llife is made up of a multitude of blessings, many of which we are not despoised to recognize as such, because of our ignorance and short-sightedness. There are some ills and some misfortunes in life, for which we ourselves are not wholly to blame, but they are very few compared with our blessings. What we often call ills and misfortunes are usually blessings in disguise. The man who has not seen what he considered some great calamity, turn into a great final blessing, is yet very young or very obstinate and dumb. The so-called calamity may have changed his whole course of life, compelling him to give up things on which his heart was set; yet in after years, through greater and unexpected successes, or perhaps through a prolonged and more useful life, made possible, only by that so called calamity, he realizes the vastness and recognizes the mystery of the blessing that was so strangely bestowed upon him. Many there are, no doubt, who take no account of such unseen guidance, preferring to credit their own personal shrewdness or to satisfy their conscience or gratify their vanity with assumptions of their great luck, for which they are not indebted. But why not remember the Source of all blessings and be thankful? For the thoughtless as well as the mindful. Thanksgiving Day comes and brings its opportunity for a united rendering of recognition and praise with the Author of all of the world's joys. Opportunity is one of the greatest words in the language of men. It is the beginning of the way to the expression of the highest thought and the deepest longings which the human heart and brain can possess. The opportunity to be thankful and to express that thankfulness is the greatest blessing of all. Let us not miss it. Of coarse, a special day for thankfulness is not altogether necessary, but the union of thought and action is in itself helpful, and the Thanksgiving festival is graciously remindful. If you have been afflicted, you have also had sympathy or pity, or the promise, the hope or the realization of healing joy. If you have been disappointed or thwarted in virtuous plans or ambitions, you have also been strengthened and made wiser and more fit for higher and greater effort. If you have seen your plans prosper, and roseate skies now spread over you in cheerful promise of the future. Let humility and modesty, rather than pompous vanity attend your actions and strengthen your security. If you have prospered and gained and are enjoying the fruits of ripe and well rounded effort. Remember the sunshine that lighted your way, the rain that nourished your seed, the wisdom that directed your course; the health and strength that supported and sustained you, and above all the ordering of the way and of nature over which you had no control. And then, whether you are great or small, thriving or striving, well or afflicted, give thanks to God that He has guided your way and knows the value of your righteous reward.

"Sirrah!" thundered her father, "were you kissing my daughter when I came in just now?" "You bet!" chirped up the unabashed suitor, "and it's up to you to apologize for butting in!"

Fire Set by Cotton Batting A citizen of Horton bought two small houses and joined them together to make one cottage. There was a small open space in the point of the roof where the two houses were fitted together. The carpenters filled the space with ordinary cotton batting and the joint of the roof was made of tin. The heat of the sun shining on the tin set fire to the cotton batting and nearly burned the house down.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Beards in Olden Times The Greeks wore their beards until the time of Alexander, but that great general, probably remembering an encounter with his wife, orderd the Macedonians to be shaved, lest their beards should give a handle to their enemies. Beards were worn by the Romans in 390 B. C. The Emperor Julian wrote a diatribe entitled "Misopogon" against the wearing of the chin appendage in 362 B. C. Education of Children. Education should be of the kind that is of use to the child as a foundation for work. Education should be so arranged that the child may take what is best for his particular case. A trained expert who studies each child and prescribes his kind of education—judging by the symptoms as does the physician—will be worth his price in guiding the youth into training. We wrong the children by omitting this form of education. Building in Constant I. There are many in New York who regard the Flatiron building not only from the standpoint of a curiosity, but from that of beauty, as the eighth wonder of the world. In the top stories of this building the pendulum if office clocks sways so far over that it cannot come back of itself, only when aided by the return movement of the great structure. Ink is spilled from the wells with this ceaseless movement, for, like the prow of a ship, the "Flatiron" sways and gives with the elements. Practical Joke Caused Death: A wealthy resident of Newburgh, N. Y., died as the result of a pleasantry perpetrated by a frolicsome friend. This friend, holding a lighted cigar near the victim's face, suddenly asked him to turn around, and as this was done the cigar lightly touched the victim's cheek. Both gentlemen enjoyed hugely the merry jest. In a few months, however, a cancerous growth appeared on the spot where the flesh had been burned and, growing rapidly, caused the man's death. IN HER BEST CLOTHES By JANE WATHY. "Auntie! Auntie! Come back and let me kiss my booful auntie," pleaded Angelica, hanging over the balustrade at the top of the stairs. Miss Creston, touched by this unwonted display of affection on the part of her small niece, ran back up the stairs to receive the embrace of two small bare arms. "Now, can I give a little weeny stroke to my booful auntie's booful plume?" asked Angelica in saccharine tones. "Well, if you'll touch it very gently," consented auntie, with misgivings, but fearful of chilling her young relative's melting mood. "There, there, dear, that will do," as she felt a none too light touch on the top of her hat and her mind was invaded by visions of disaster to her cherished plume. With a last hasty embrace Miss Creston turned away and ran down the stairs to her waiting escort. Young Coleman regarded her with the undisguised, if somewhat quizzical admiration which is the accepted masculine attitude toward the entirely up-to-date woman in her best clothes. "I'm afraid that we'll have to hurry a little," he said. "Angelica delayed the game somewhat." "Yes, I know it," said Miss Creston, "but the poor child is so perfectly impish that we always try to encourage anything like softness in her." Miss Creston was aware of creating a mild sensation when they boarded the crowded elevated train, popular interest appearing to center in her hat. "It certainly is the most becoming hat I have had for a long time," she thought, complacently sinking with a gracious bow into the seat which a polite young man yielded to her. "And the plume is a beauty, if it did cost a small fortune." Most of the people were in their seats when Miss Creston and her escort arrived at the theater. A somewhat flustered young usher seized their checks, bounded along the aisle before them and slammed down two seats. They had just settled themselves comfortably and Miss Creston was raising her hands to remove her hat when the usher reappeared, followed by another couple. "Kin I see your checks, please?" the flustered usher asked. Young Coleman fumbled through his pockets and at length was able to exhibit the checks. "They steered you down the wrong aisle," the usher informed them cheerfully. "Your seats are over on the other side." Amid smiling apologies on both sides they rose and yielded their places to the other couple, then traversed the long aisle to the back of the house, crossed over and proceeded down the opposite side. "I am so glad, thought Miss Creston, as they made their conspicuous progress through the house, "that my clothes are all right—especially my hat. People always notice hats so." When young Coleman and the usher had carefully verified the location of their places Miss Creston seated herself and raised her hands to remove her hat. She extracted four hatpins and began to fumble for the fifth. "Why—where's my other hatpin?" she murmured, groping about the crown on her hat with her fingers. "Well, what—" Her hand encountered an unfamiliar object at one side of the crown, a clammy, yielding something which caused her to give a last frantic, and this time successful, clutch at the missing hatpin. "Angelica! What has that child been doing to my hat?" was the thought that flashed through her mind as she snatched off the headgear and laid it upon her lap. Skillfully entangled in the filigree work of her hatpin was one medium-sized, slightly damp bath sponge. "Oh!" Miss Creston turned to her escort with fire in her eye. "Why didn't you tell me it was there, instead of letting me parade all over creation with that thing in my hat?" she demanded. The young man turned an injured countenance upon her. "Don't you suppose I would have told you if I hadn't thought it belonged there?" he asked. "I give you my word of honor that I supposed it was some new kind of pompon, or chou chou, or whatever you girls call them. Anyway," as the lights were lowered and the hum of voices about them died down, "you'd look prettier in a hat trimmed all over with bath sponges than any other woman would with a bird of paradise on hers!" Airman's Dream. M. Esnault Pelterie, one of the best-known aviation experts, is of the opinion that the day will come when communication between the earth and the moon and stars will be possible in aeroplanes. Providing that radium is one day found in larger quantities and that some way of harnessing its energies is discovered by scientists, he calculates that an aeroplane weighing a ton should be able to cover the 238,800 miles which separate the earth and the moon in three hours and five minutes. About 800 pounds of radium would be necessary to provide the fuel for the journey. At the current price, about $10,000,000 worth would be required.

LEWIS ON COLLEGE STANDARDS WINS BRIDE AFTER SEVEN YEARS' WOOING WINS BRIDE AFTER SEVEN YEARS' WOOING SENATOR SMOOT'S SON MASTER OF ELOQUENCE SENATOR SMOOT'S SON MASTER OF ELOQUENCE For seven days Thomas Mott Ossborne, philanthropist, author, politi clan, traveler and leading citizen of Auburn, served a self-imposed sentence in Auburn (N. Y.) prison. He wore the gray garb, ate the same fare, and was subjected to the same rules and discipline as the same rules and discipline as the real convicts. He worked in the basket shop, at coal heaving, and in various other capacities. In the morning, noon PETER H. and night he marched in the regular convict lines, side by side with thugs, thieves, slayers—the human riff-raff that makes up the greater portion of the 1,380 convicts whom the Auburn prison now holds. Some of these convicts—about 150 of them—are negroes and Mr. Osborne is said to be interested particularly in them. His announced purpose was to put himself by personal contact into the psychological convict attitude—"to turn his soul" to the soul of his down-trodden brother. The object of it all Mr. Osborne has explained to be an upheaval of the prison system. Mr. Osborne would tear up this system by the roots. He would Asked to state his opinion on educational methods, Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, said: "I will give you an example to show that a blind following of accepted college standards is not essential. "Suppose that a young man is wonderfully proficient in languages and woefully defective in mathematics. According to the accepted training of the college, it is the duty of the "I will give you an example to show that a blind following of accepted college standards is not essential. "Suppose that a young man is wonderfully proficient in languages and woefully defective in mathematics. According to the accepted training of the college, it is the duty of the instructor to im prove the young man where he is defective. Consequently, he does not develop rapidly in languages because most of his time is given over to the study of mathematics, a branch of study in which he can never achieve more than mediocrity. "Is this wise? Miss Katherine Elkins was married at Elkins, W. Va., the other day to "Billy" Hitt of Washington, who has woed her steadily for seven years, never losing faith even when the king of Italy announced that she was to marry his cousin, the duke of the Abruzzl, and become her royal highness and possess the toy kingdom of Albania for a golf links or any other purpose that might suit her fancy. P worn a fixed smile during all these seven years, being sure that even if the wonderful Miss Elkins did marry the duke—which she seemed almost certain to do—she would be happy. And what "Billy" Hitt mostly wanted was that she should be happy. He had the friendliest feeling for his royal rival. On the morning of the marriage, Miss Elkins and "Billy" Hitt called up their favorite friends and relatives by telephone and invited them all to "be sure and come for luncheon—very important." And when the mystified guests were all assembled, even the mother of the bride being among those mystified, the Rev. Frederick H. Barron, pastor of Recently Senator Reed Smoot's boy came to him with a pitiful story of a woman who needed a position. The woman's son was his playmate, the senator's son pleaded, and her husband was away in the south-west with tuberculosis. So eloquently did the young orator plead that the senator finally decided to do what he could to aid the woman. P. He asked her to call upon him. He ascertained that the story of her need and worthiness was true in all particulars, and finally got her a post- abolish the cells and batter down the grim barriers which now separate from their fellow men those who have been found guilty of infractions of the law. He would throw away the shackles, turn the transgressor from the evil of his ways by providing him diversive literature, plenty of good food and raiment, cards and mandolins and the general paraphernalia of refinement. Those who are close to Mr. Osborne and have been cognizant of his views for years say that he would go even further. They are suggesting that before many days Mr. Osborne will be giving at his own home extensive house parties to groups of convicts whose time is up. It is a luxurious mansion, filled with rich furniture, rare paintings and books and all the appurtenances of a habitation appropriate to a gentleman of taste and wealth. There are musical instruments in every room, the former mayor and public service commissioner priding himself specially on his musical accomplishments. It was whispered around the prison that in the brief interval between supper and the extinguishing of lights Mr. Osborne was uplifting his less favored brothers through the medium of mandolin recitals and that he offered to give them lessons. That could not be confirmed; but it is known that a convict occupying a cell very near to that of Mr. Osborne is an expert mandolinist. A reasonable amount of music during the period is permitted by the rules. "Should the young man who cannot be a great mathematician be driven hardest in a subject in which he fundamentally has no interest? I do not think so. On the contrary, I believe that many a young man has stopped college because he faced this tremendous, discouraging wall. "Suppose that the years which this young man devotes to the study of mathematics be given over to the pursuit of his favorite study, languages. How far might he not advance?" "What do you regard as man's greatest educational influence?" was asked. "Unquestionably the Bible," replied Senator Lewis. "The Bible from cover to cover is a mine of knowledge, of philosophy, history, English construction—and these are but a few of the educational ingredients that go to make up the Bible. My education, I believe, has been mostly influenced by this wonderful book. Today I read it with the assiduity with which I studied it twenty years ago. "The questions which it answers and the quotations remain constantly in my mind. I use them frequently in debate." the Elkins Presbyterian church, stooo up at one end of the music room and performed the ceremony with dis patch. "I will," said "Billy" Hitt, and added in an undertone, "Of course I will—who wouldn't?" And he looked at his watch. There were 22 minutes for luncheon, then a dash for waiting automobiles, a whirl to the railroad station—and Mr. and Mrs. "Billy" Hitt stepped into their private car, the Graceland, and started for "the east." When did Miss Elkins definitely give up the duke and surrender to "Billy" Hitt? People at Elkins and in Washington are trying to compute the date by reading signs. For instance, it was in April last year that Miss Elkins sent the duke a wonderful phonograph encased in specially selected woods and a mysterious collection of records made by her own voice. It was supposed then that the records were lined with love messages and tender songs. But were they souvenirs? What did those records say? Another "sign" that friends are reading now is the fact that last May for the first time in her life Miss Elkins actually asked newspaper photographers to snapshot her. She wanted all the papers to have good pictures. It is believed that the engagement has existed for one or two years. "Billy" Hitt is William F. Hitt, son of the late Representative R. R. Hitt of Illinois. Thus ends the last chapter in the romance. tion at a salary sufficient to keep her and her son from want. Some days later, in the morning mail, came a letter for young Smoot, and his father's eyes saw a five-dollar bill fall out. He demanded the reason for such an enclosure, and, taking the letter, he read a deep expression of thanks from the woman, and at the end: "Inclosed find $5, instead of the $1 which my son promised you should have if you obtained me the position." After the senator got through talking with his young son the latter understood thoroughly that government positions are not given, even to the needy, on a commission basis. Needless to add, the money was returned. That American dancer who was decorated by the kaiser did not dance either the turkey trot or the tango.

Phone Main 1461 COLORADO KING TURKEY --- Thought for Those Who Are in Suffering at This Time of General Rejoicing. This was the sweet, consoling word that came to a woman struggling with fresh bereavement at the Thanksgiving season. Instantly a well of thankfulness was unsealed in her own heart. All was not over, then! There was still something left to live for. Someone yet leaned on her. Someone turned to her for help and strength and comfort. It set a whole nest of singing birds caroling in the very ruins of her own happiness. Does this not give us a hint how to comfort the sorrowful? "I don't want to be 'poor-deared!'" cried one whose best-beloved had been taken. "All I want on earth is just once more to hear him say, 'I need you!'" That comfort, alas! was nevermore to be hers, but time showed her a helpless worldful of people always saying it. It is the true soul-tonic. The solace of helping others is within the reach of every sufferer. Added to that is sometimes vouchsafed the reward hinted at in the beginning of this paragraph. Now and then someone will feel a warm throb of thankfulness toward us, and say so. It pays a thousand times for the little we are able to do out of our weakness. It is a thousand times better than sitting by life's wayside and holding out pitiful hands for begars' alms of condolence and sympathy. Nobody wants to have anybody thankful to him, but it is a high form of happiness to know that someone is thankful for us. For the Blessings Bestowed. Thankfulness makes the ordinary and simple gifts of God shine with a morning luster, and exudes the rarest perfume. There are two ways to get rich—one is to increase the number of our dollars, the other is to increase the value of the few dollars we already have. Thankfulness raises the blessings we already have to higher degrees of worth, and thereby enriches us. If thankfulness does not create new roses, it paints a finer hue on those we have; if it does not load our table, it puts a delicious sweetness in our simple fare; if it does not clothe our bodies in costly raiment, it lends a sweetness of behavior to our bodies, so that we do not need such raiment to make us attractive. All other beautiful graces of Christian character are lacking in luster without the shining grace of gratitude to God for his abundant mercies and unceasing loving kindness to the children of men. To the Discontented. Let's be thankful, though care. May be sent us to bear, For only the foolish may never know That trouble still breeds Wherever hope leads— That the flowers of joy are watered By the cleansing tears of woe. Let's be thankful, though still There is many an ill That we long to have strength to clear away For contentment is shown By the foolish alone, By the weak who are merely waiting To return to their mother clay. —S. E. KISER. ```markdown ``` Something that rich, poor, weak, strong, young, old can give—thanks. Did you ever think of that? Just as long as you have a heart—and may it be always—you can appreciate something and be grateful. Poor indeed is that man or woman who in this life can find nothing for which thanks can be given. Reversible Thanksgiving Reversible Thanksgiving Let's be thankful for the coal that's in the cellar; If it's paid for, let's be thankful that it is; If it isn't, let's be glad the other fellow Must consider that the risk is wholly his. Let's be thankful for the jobs at which we labor; If perchance they're not exactly what we'd like We may still be better fixed than some poor neighbor Who has just been bounced or called upon to strike. Let's be thankful if our relatives are present To share the joy we have; but if they're not The case will then, of course, be still more pleasant, So either way we'll have a happy lot. Let's be thankful if the grim old money question Doesn't serve to keep our turkey off the plate— In case it does, we won't have indigestion When the rich man's taking pills and blaming Fate. — S. E. Kiser Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving day is the day when every one says he is thankful, and wants to eat turkey to prove it. If you haven't anything else to be thankful for, you can be thankful you are not a turkey. Thanksgiving day was first observed by the Pilgrims, who were thankful that they had five grains of corn apiece. In these extravagant times a man wouldn't be thankful if he had ten grains of corn—which shows conclusively that we are prosperous. The trusts are doing a noble work in remedying this evil condition. People have various unreasonable reasons for being thankful on Thanksgiving day. Some men are thankful they took a wife, and some are thankful they didn't take two. Bachelor maids are thankful they are not "horrid bachelors," and a married woman is always thankful that her husband has a good wife. It is easy to be thankful if you go about it right. But the thing people are most thankful for is their money—even though they came by it honestly. The more a man has, the more thankful he is that it isn't less, and the less a man has the less likely he is to be thankful because it isn't more. Be thankful, therefore, that you haven't too much to be thankful for. Turkey tastes all the better for coming but once a year.—Lippincott's. Time to Banish Depression. You, perhaps, have had trials of the severest kind, rebuffs, bitter disappointments, trouble that has clouded life's sky, but there is a compensation in your life. The fine balance that nature shows in her great scheme does not stop with the natural world. It is continued on through evolutionary lines and finds compelling, convincing expression in our lives! Trouble is sometimes another name for a character builder; disappointment frequently acts as a fine balance wheel. The story can be carried on in all directions of experience. TURKEY DAYS OF PAST THANKSGIVING History Proves that There Always Has Been a Time Set Apart for Festivities. Thanksgiving is generally believed to have commenced with the advent of the Pilgrim fathers, and therefore a legacy to us from New England. But when the true facts in the case come to light we find that Thanksgiving day was first celebrated by Popham colonists at Monhegan, who joined in "Giving God thanks" for their safe arrival and many blessings in the ritual laid down in the Thanksgiving service of the Church of England prayer book. It is known with what antipathy the early Puritans regarded any and all of the holy days of the English church, and the celebration of such was sternly forbidden in New England. How many of us know that days for giving thanks were set apart in Europe long before the reformation and were observed by the Church of England many years before the Pilgrims landed? ? The first Thanksgiving in this country was not set apart as a day of religious observance, but for recreation. On December 11, 1621, Edward Winslow wrote home to England the following very quaint account of the week's program: "Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men out fowling so we might in a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. The four killed so much fowl that with a little help served the company about a week. Among other recreations were exercises with our arms. Many of the Indians came amongst us and among them their greatest king Massasoit with some ninety men, whom we for three days feasted and entertained. They went out and killed five deer, which they brought in and bestowed on our governor, upon the captains and others." So we get a good idea of the hospitality offered in those days. We learn, too, from Governor Bradford, that wild turkeys were plentiful, so we feel a reasonable assurance that the turkey has a long and ancient lineage and prestige not to be usurped by any other bird on our Thanksgiving day platter. Only fifty-five English speaking people sat down to the first Thanksgay feast, but the addition of the Indians made a goodly company for whom the poor, lonely and homesick women prepared the dinner. There were only four of them, with one servant "and a few young meidekins." There is no record to be found of any religious worship during this week of feasting. In 1628 the second Thanksgiving day was ordered and observed by the Pilgrim fathers. Early Thanksgivings are not always celebrated in November nor upon Thursday, and it is not until 1677 that we find the first printed Thanksgiving proclamation, now owned by the Massachusetts Historical society. It is interesting to note that since 1862 the president of the United States has set the last Thursday in November to be observed as a day of thanksgiving. And harking back to Pilgrim days, what a vast difference. Compare the harvest then and the harvest now. Whether our forefathers were ever actually reduced to the traditional five grains of corn each, is a fact not decided by history, but it is true that they returned thanks for the most meager fare and endured the most grinding hardships without a murmur. Like our forbears we make of the day a great time for feasting and games and not so much of church going. It is a day for family reunions and a day of abundant opportunity for making a cause of Thanksgiving in the "other fellow's" heart. Happy Thanksgiving Custom. A woman who has an almost old-fashioned faith in Providence keeps what she calls her "thank offering box." Into this goes through the year, from one Thanksgiving to the middle of the following November, a sum of money for every accident escaped, calamity averted or special joy. These offerings are not confined to her own escapes but each time some member of her family bobs up from some threatened woe into the box goes the money offering of thanks. Not the same amount is given each time, and rarely large sums, for the woman is not rich, but a nice little sum is realized. This is devoted to giving some one a happy Thanksgiving day. It does not always go into regular channels. As the woman says—the poor and hospitals are usually well cared for in holiday seasons. Good Idea Is That Thanksgiving Is the Noblest Work That Man Can Do. Do You Know That- Thanksgiving: The act of rendering thanks, expressing gratitude for favors or mercies; a public celebration of divine goodness. Thanksgiving day: A day set apart for religious services in acknowledgment of the divine goodness. By nature man is religious; and Thanksgiving day is an annual reminder of this innate tendency. The very first Thanksgiving and the manner of its observance are not very well defined in history. Perhaps the following paragraph will give as succinct an epitome as is possible at this remote distance: "The fishermen were ordered to 'scour the seas for spoil,' the hunters 'to shoulder their matchlocks and bring in such game as would allow the Mayflower colony in a more special manner to rejoice together.' The result was a supply of wild turkey, deer, bear and game of every sort in such abundance as amply to feed the colony for a week. They had as guests the friendly chief, Massasoit, and 90 of his Indians. The Indians contributed to the feast five deer and a great basket of oysters.' This was the introduction of the young colony to its afterward favorite shellfish, and the women cooked them as they best knew how. The menu of that immortal dinner has not, alas been preserved, but it is known that the two dishes most fully appreciated by the Indians as well as the Americans were the 'brown roast turkey' and the 'pumpkin pie.' The great feast of the week was outdoors, for the air was balmy and the sun bright. Massasoit was there in all the bravery of a scarlet coat trimmed with lace and a copper chain, given him some time previous by Edward Winslow. In a strange medley of Indian garb and a borrowing of European costume, cementing there the bond of friendship with the white settlers which held good 41 years." IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Commercial, Fraternal Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY In 1621 Governor Bradford after the first harvest made provision for the colonists' rejoicing together with praise and prayer. In 1623 a day of fasting and prayer in the midst of drought was turned into thanksgiving by the coming of rain during the prayers; gradually the custom prevailed of appointing annually a thanksgiving day after harvest. These appointments were made by the governor's proclamations. During the Revolutionary war a day of national thanksgiving was annually recommended by congress. For many decades the president has annually appointed such a day and the governors of the various states have supplemented the same. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. "Words are but empty things." Since actions speak louder than words thanksgiving is the noblest thanksgiving. To abound in thanksgiving is a Scriptural injunction. "See that ye do this," said Paul. Bridegroom's Thanksgiving. A hundred years from now, sweetheart, We will not grieve o'er chances lost, Nor worry over meat or art, Nor care what coal or clothes may cost. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. A hundred years from now nor you Nor I will care a picayune For cold, persistent landlords who Browbeat, buldoze and importune. Then let us in this holy time Of cheer give thanks for every joy, And most of all for this, that I'm No girl and you are not a boy. -S. E. KISER Have Cause to Give Thanks. Have Cause to Give Thanks. If we remember what were the conditions, circumstances, events and incidents of the first Thanksgiving day, and allow thought to traverse even rapidly and superficially the path of blessing until this Thanksgiving day of 1913, we shall have a faint vision, at least, of that for which the land should offer praise. If we dwell only upon the great benefits that affect the general welfare, abundant reason appears why we should set a season apart, assemble in our places of worship, and lay upon the altar our united offering of praise. And this is not alone for abundant harvests, for commercial prosperity, for continued peace and increasing power; not alone for good bestowed, but thanks for evil spared; for fires of trouble from which we passed unharmed; for the floods that threatened but did not overwhelm; for the casting down that yet did not destroy; for all calamities endured and over-past Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Surely if ever land should in humility bring tribute from multitudes of grateful hearts, ours should make this a true Thanksgiving day.
