A NEW THANKSGIVING DAY.
Another Thanksgiving is upon us, with its share of blessing and glad-
tm nf David where he says "Sing unto the Lora wuu man
eivine" oueM. on the eve of this approaching national holiday, be the motif
of the coming day. Thanksgiving and thanksliving to be genuine must embody the Nazarene's life, labor and love. The natural man needs to be educated into selfless living, self-sacrificing, doing good to others first, being loyally altruistic; then and notill then, shall the world be brought to thankfullness and blessedness. Let us be happy tomorrow and let us be cheerful. Cheerfulness is the measure of the worth of your life to yourself and the worth of it to others. Every day should bring its benedictions. If there is sorrow, a bright light in the cloud; if the day brings difficulties, handicaps, heavy burdens, sharp struggles, life's best things come in just this kind of experience and not in the easy ways. The thanksgiving heart finds treasure and good everywhere. Life's true concert pitch is praise. Tomorrow, may it be the keynote of a new year of happiness and new hopes. It Is not necessary to enumerate why you should be thankful, why your city, your county, your state or your nation should be thankful. Even as we Join in thankfulness to the fountain of all good and perfect things, we echo the aspirations of those less fortunate throughout the world who are turning their eyes toward the sunlight and the morning of freedom and the responsibilities which freedom brings. It is our Thanksgiving that we have led the way in the path illuminated by the sun of liberty. And to be happy yourself and thankful tomorrow, do not forget those who have less reason than yourself to be thankful. Though wan skies show no rift, And every breeze be frore, lioth prayer and praise let us upli 'T And such a generous store From shore to shore! And let our clear acclaim , lit - .'" More than lip-service he, " . While rivers and while mountains frame With us Thanksgiving to His name, Swelling the jubilee From sea to sea! WHICH IS A PROPER SPIRIT.
WHAT MONEY WILL BUY. A certain man, reputed to be from Chicago, went down Broadway, New York city, a few days ago distributing fire and ten dollar bills to the people. The man was arrested and adjudged Insane. It was taken for granted that any man who would voluntarily give away what everybody was trying to hare and hold must necessarily be crazy. However The man might have been merely drunk. v Or his conscience may have troubled him because of the way in which he got the money. Or he may have been prompted by philanthropic feelings. But, to dismiss motives, i3 the mere fact that a man gives away good money on the street evidence that be la Insane? If so, why do we eay that men who are immersed in money getting, who do nothing and think nothing but moneywhy do we say that these men are "money mad?" Is It not true that when a man gets the insane notion into his head that money Is the only thing worth while in this world he is mentally unbalanced? Then why conclude that only the man who gives money away is mad?
Will money buy the best things-
love, joy, peace? Certainly not. They are not for sale
on any counter. They are the fruits of
a man's spirit They spring up In hi9 oul and ripen there. Then why put so much value on money? Money can buy many things, neces
sities, comforts, luxuries, ease, power. And so men go over seas and conti
nents and die for the sake of money,
They will -en sell their souls to get
money and then bask themselves in
the sunshine of their self made pros
perity, hoping for happiness.
Are they not as insane as the man
who was reckless with his bills?
Because all they can buy with money
are OUTSIDE THINGS, while the true satisfactions of life spring from WITHIN. If man were only dust, the
golden dust of earth might satisfy But he is more than dust
John L. Sullivan and he spoke from personal experience put this truth
tersely the other day when he said:
"MONEY WILL. BUY EVERY
THING BUT HAPPINESS."
Think It over. Is it not possible the "crazy man'
was about the only sane person on
Broadway?
Everything that benefits Gary, benefits Lake county indirectly, so that the good wishes of the Calumet region and Lake county in general will go with the Gary Commercial club members on their advertising junket to South Bend and other interurban cities. The enterprising and indomitable members of the Gary Commercial club have set a splendid example to the business men of other cities and one which they could follow with much profit to themselves and glory to their own municipalities. If the cities in the Calumet region followed Gary's example in energy and hustling there is not a district in the whole world could begin to compare with this region. It is time to recognize this fact and look it squarely in the face. Gary, as a pioneer in this region, is getting all there is out of a thing and not letting any of it go to waste. THE DANGER OF PRACTICAL JOKING.
From the number of peopl? who have been killed and maimed because some fool friends have played practical jokes on them, it would seem as if these enthusiastic meddlers whose idea of something clever and funny is to play a joke that may be eonducive to physical injury, would sometime acquire at least a modicum of sense. A young Spanish-American war veteran is in St. Margaret's hospital in a critical condition because a fellow workman threw something at his face, causing him to dodge violently and loosen a silver plate in his head, put there to repair a bullet wound. It isn't necessary to turn around more than twice before meeting with someone who has been the physical victim of practical joking. It is carried to extreme lengths and
many people have been the sadder and wiser for it, while trie Instruments of their questionable cleverness are in the Land Beyond. Perhaps it might be well to hesitate in the future before trying a practical joke that might
hurt some one.
HAMMOND'S PRETTY playhouse, the Princess, owned by T. W. Engle-
hart of Gary, is doing a splendid business. The theatre is a credit to Ham
mond and its description, published in the Times last Saturday, brought crowds of people out to see it. The features of the dainty little playhouse, as advertised daily, ia the Times, make its owner confident that it will fill
a long felt want in the amusement world of the Calumet region.
THE LABADIE eight million dollar lawsuit, whose interesting details were fully described in a story in these columns last week, has been copied
and copied by various papers over the country. It came back to Hammond last night, however, large and smiling as life and was cheerfully recognized
by a number of people who had read all about it in the Times over a week ago

THIS IS MY 50TH BIRTHDAY. Paul Haupt.
Paul Haupt, professor of Semitic
language and director of the Oriental
seminary in Johns Hopkins university
was born in Gorlitz, Germany, Nov. 25
858. He graduated from the Univer ity of Leipzig and the University o
Glasgow and subsequently continued
his studies at Berlin university and at
the British museum. He taught for a time in Germany. In the early 80's he
came to the United States and in 1883
he became connected with Johns Hop
kins university. Professor Haupt has
written a number of books and is regarded as an authority on Biblical and Assyrian philology, history and arch
aeology. At the International historical congress held In London last summer Professor Haupt provoked a storm of discussion by his address on "The History of Galilee," In which he stated that Jesus was born at Nazareth rather
than Bethlehem, and probably not a
descendant of David.
