The Knightstown Banner is vigorously kicking because that burg is not successful in securing manufacturing industries, while all her sister towns are making strides in that direction. Well, poor old Kuightstown has ample cause to kick. She has been trying many years to make something out of herself, but it seems as though she can't do it.
ONE of the most unique Thanksgiving dinners we have seen illustrated was that of Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia. They were sitting one on each side of the table Uncle Sam in a big chair made from Michigau lumber and just as happy as happy could be. The table was covered with a snowy white American cloth and the delicacies of all the land were there. Tennessee turkey, Maryland chicken, West Virginia cranberry sauce, Missouri game pie, Delaware bread, Jersey celery, Indiana pickles, Illinois potatoes, Louisiana sugar,Connecticut crullers, Ohio jam, Wisconsin pudding, Pennsylvania pumpkin pie, Massachusetts mince pie, California claret, Kentucky whiskey, New York (lowers labeled pure politics. It was indeed a glorious feast and thoroughly American.

The Would*Be Burglars Escape but Leave a Trail of Blood. Los ANGELES, NOV. 30.—Shortly before daylight a band of robbers attempted to raid Hazard's exposition building, in which the international exposition is being held. Many valuables were on exhibition there, including fully s. million dollars' worth oi foreign goods exhibited in bond.
The exposition company's watchman and a customs inspector were tiie only persona in the building. The burglars gained an entrance to the building and made their presence known by tiring upon the watchman and extinguishing the bullseye lantern which the inspector carried. The watchmen returned the fire, placid by standing their ground, and succeeded in driving their adversaries i'rom the building. The burglars escaped, a trail of blood being left behind, showing that some of them were badly wounded. It is not known how many there were. The watchmen escaped unhurt.

A Child.
Old signs are written in thy tender face, Desires, regrets that thou hast never known Thou art the heir of thy aspiring race,
Heir of a troubled throne.
Of hope, that hardly dost portend tho morn, And sadness, that hast scarcely guessed at pain, God takes the characters of fate outworn
And writes them fair again.
Thoso little feet, that scarce the light turf press, Those little hands, so brown with wind and sun, God grant they tremble not for weariness
Before thy course bo done.
And thou shalt love, and learn what love Is worth, And thou shalt trust and learn to value men, And all the sudden mysteries of earth
Shall open to thy ken.
What, wilt be flying? Am I then too staid? Can I not smooth the meditative brow, Flash through the sun and flutter through tho shade,
As birds from bough to bough? What, dost thou linger? Ah, my dear, how much
Thou givest couldst thou only understand The kiss of childish pity and the touch Of thine absolvi'v: hand. —Arthur Christopher Bcii.-son.
POLITICS IN TOWN GOVERNMENT.
A Public Officer Should Be Chosen Because of Fitness For the Position. The town in which the government is vested in one political party or another is certain to suffer. The best interests of a community are best conserved by the election of officers who owe no allegianco to any party, and who are chosen becauso of their known integrity and fitness for the position. Burton H. Albee in Good Roads says of politics in town government: Politics in town governments leads unskilled and bungling boards of supervisors to assume the Authority and arrogantly direct a skilled superintendent what to do, even when that superintendent has spent years in learning the art of .constructing proper streets. Politics will cause these same supervisors to improve some side street which ends against a bank, and upon which scarcely a dozen teams pass a day, while main arteries, connecting important parts of the city, are loft beds of mud or banks of sand. Politics will cause such boards of supervisors to allow ono lmui on a street to violate city ordinances and oven state laws and make a walk a different width, and then these same politics will lead those supervisors to say that they will investigate, and if anything .is. wrong it shall be corrected.
One can tell thoso towns in which politics rules the street department. There aro occasional stretches of good streets, but they aro quite as likely to be in one part of tho town as another. There has never been any comprehensive scheme of improvements adopted. A street has been paved here and part of one there. Gravel is used because some ward heeler has it to sell, where macadam is tho only proper material. Crushed stone is brought In by a certain railroad company at a higher price than an oth or would ask for the same service because, perforce, the first railroad company assisted in the election of supervisors, superintendent or mayor.
Nothing is ever done as it should be. Nothing ever will bo dono as it should be until politics aud town government go in different directions and a plain, straightforward business policy pruvaiL

HUMILITY OF CHRIST.
IT TEACHES US THAT WE SHOULD
SERVE OTHERS.
Good Done to Others Benefits Ourselves Moet, Says Rev. Madison O. Peters—What to Do With God's Gifts—Rov«?nge Is
Sweet Only to the Narrow Mind.
Is ow, if any man have not tho spirit of Christ, he is none of his.—Romans viii, 9. 'ino work of Christ is the foundation of a sinner's hope. Christ must be kuown as Saviour before he can be stud.'l a. .-•xamr-Inr. Eufc /re are not simply to profess Christianity. We must possess it. Conduct is the best profession. Creeds and churches are not Christianity. Christ is Christianity, and he is a Christian who has the spirit of Christ.
Christ's was an humble spirit. What a mntehloss view of his huiiiility v/e havo in St. John xii, when ho rose from his suppor, laid aside his garments and took a towel, girded himself, poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples'feet! Christ is on earth as ono that pprvoth. Humility followed him from his birth in the manger to his borrowed grave. Ws have just as much of Christianity as we have humility.
Tho lesson of Christ's humility is that we shqpld be willing to take the humblest placo to serve others. We need the John the Baptist spirit, not envious of the success of another, saying, with our eye on the Lord, "Ho must increase, but I must decrease." A Christian minister said, "I was never of n:':_y use until I found out that God did not make me for a great man." High trees are commonly fruitless, and what grows on them bangs above our reach. So we have more good of the humble servant of God, who is willing to communicato what he has. The proud servant looks so high that even if ho boro fruit it could not be reached by God's poor people. Give me the lowest place, not that I daro
Ask for that lowest place, but thou hast died That I might live and share Thy glory by thy side. Give me the lowest placo, or, if for me
That lowest place too high, make one more low, That I may sit and see
My God and love thee
BO.
Are your ears open to tho cries of woe worn humanity? You pity the sorrows of the suffering. That is not enough. Your hand must be taught to heed the pleadings of your-pitying heart.
Tho goods that God has given you are to be laid out for the good of others, sacred trusts not to be greedily hoarded, lavishly squandered nor selfishly to be enjoyed, but generously to be employed for the £lory of God. To be good is noble. To do good is nobler. The paramount aim of religion is not to prepare for heaven, but to make this world better, wiser, happier and holier. Heaven will not be a place of white robes and golden harps and psalm singing only, but it will also be a place for living, loving and doing. Bo not simply good be good for something, make your life comfortable, yftnir happy, your funeral sad, yoirr ao^ glorious and your eternity blessed.
How sweet 'twill be at evening If you nnd I can say: "Good Shepherd, we've been seeking'
The lambs that went astray. Heurtsore and faint with hunger Wo heard them making moan, And, lo! we come at nightfall
Bearing them safely home!" Christ's was au unselfish spirit. "He pleased not himself." His entire life was a beautiful embodiment of that "love which seeketh not her own." Are you daily dying unto self as unto sin? If you should dip today, could men, women and children look upon your quiet face, lay snow white flowers against your hair, smooth it down with tearful tenderness and fold your bands with lingering caress? Could friends call to mind with loving thought some gentle word the frozen lips had said or some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought? Would you be mourned? A dry eyed funeral is a sad eight. Oh, man, forget not thou earth's honored priest,
Its tongue, its soul, its life, its pulse, its heart, In earth's great chorus to sustain thy part. Chiofest cf guests at lore's iingrudsiiig feast, Play not 'tho r.i'ggafd, spurn thy nativo clod
And self disown. Livo to thy neighbor, live unto thy God, Not to thy self alone.
Christ's was a forgiving spirit. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. With sublimo sweetness of soul, while treading,, th" viro press alone the 'Vvine Saviour gathered his expiring breath to plead for his foes. What a chaplet of forgiveness he twined together in tho hours of his darkness and agony and left behind as a legacy of loving patience to blush and breatho upon our unforgiving spirits and unrelenting words 1 Can you as a Christian, on account of somo petty grievanco unworthy of a calm thought, indulge the look of cold estrangement? "If any man havo a quarrel against any, even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." "Revenge is sweet" only to a little, weak and narrow mind.
The little things which aro So Ofteb done to us on the spur of the moment in an outburst of passion—how small they are even at tho worst! They do not kill us. Tho Koran says that two angels guard every man on earth, one watching on each sido of him, and when at night he sloops they fly up to heaven with a written report of all his words and actions during tho day. Evtry good thing he does is recorded at c.n*e and repeated ton times lest some item :y bo omitted or lost from tho account. Cut when they come to a sinful tiling the angel on the right says to the angel on the left: "Forbear to record that for seven hours. IVradventuro a'-, he values and thinl.s in the quiet hours he may be sony for it. and repent and pvav and obtain forgiveness."
Tins is a true picture of the way in which God regards our lives. Ho is slow to write down our sins against us. We, as his children, aro to repeat in our lives something of his forgiveuefis. Good ii.-i.1nrn and good souse must ever join. To err is luunai' to toruive. divine.
