THANKSGIVING

In this day and generation we are more concerned with cranberries and

turkey and the stuffing thereof than

with any thought of the Puritan Fathers, stern and quite forbidding in their aspect. If the Pilgrims are given their

due in having added a mostv American

festival, they have at the same time had the same cause to turn over in

their graves that those who are respon

sible for our Glorious Fourth might

feel at the modern celebration of that memorable day. The old Virginian

Cavaliers .must smile from the cracking portraits in their country places at the discomfiture of their New England contemporaries. But if we sit around in a grumpy fashion until we can fall upon the turkey and devour it with its accompanying appetizing morsels and complain about everything in general we can scarcely destroy Thanksgiving. The impress, of the Puritans is upon us like it or not.

We have escaped the severity of the Puritan Thanksgiving we think. We have turned the solemn prayers of our predecessors out of the house. Unrepentant we fill desire for the flesh pots. But be you the possessor of listed securities or an empty pay envelope, you will give thanks. For in the afternoon of the year, with the work accomplished and put by, with the vigor born of the crisp first winter days: with the holidays just before you; there comes that comfortable feeling satisfaction that you are alive. Th Hebraic "feast of the Lord" after the "fruit of the land" is gathered in is too strongly entrenched in the subconscious part of every race to be escaped. And yet there are a few, who are like the late Jerusha Mather of the Puritan days of whom a chronicler of that generation records: "Our dear Grandmother, who is sometimes a little De

sponding of Spirit, did it her best to

make it a Day of Fasting & Prayer in

view of the Wickedness of our Friends

& the Vileness of our Enemies."

Altogether we congratulate the present generation as well as the Puritans

If we have taken the edge off their

solemn festival of thanks and made it

human; they at least have made it im

possible not to be grateful and full of

hope.

A . D. MDCXX. Arid The yellow setting sun j Melts the lazy sea to gold,

And glides the swaying galleon That toward a land of promise

Lunges hugely on. -Edward MacDowell. . Edward MacDowell wrote the above verse as an explanation of his music In honor of the sturdy men and women who came to our shores at the begining of the seventeenth century. He is accounted the best of real American composers. And is noted as an expounder of philosophy in his music. Futile as a discussion of "mere music" may seem to a public too busy with its concerns to pause, the five lines which furnish the key to the A. D. MDCXX need to sink in the minds and souls of every young man in America. We say young man, because he is the man who must change things in America tomorrow. And the spirit of Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Thanks for the Past and Hope and Optimism for the Future.

The Puritans and The Cavaliers are gone. They fought out the battles of the young land against odds. The men of Massachusetts and Virginia fought side by side in the Revolution, fighting against oppression. The Mayflowerlittle cockle ship of Hope that braved the storms of the North Atlantic, Is not a more fragile thing than is the Hope and the Ideals which are carrying the Youth of America toward the Laud of Promise the Future. The days of fighting are not over. There is another rock-bound coast. Another wilderness with dangers even greater than those which beset our forefathers. The next fight is going to be one of plain Honesty and Hard Hitting. It is going to involve a lot of things that are pretty hard to do. The Golden Sun of Optimism lights the Ship of Hope "that toward a land of promise lunges hugely on." Right now, while this Thanksgiving spirit is on you, thank God that you are honest. You will get more money if you are a crook more people will be nice to you, more people will call you a good fehow, more people will pat you on the back. But you will always know that Someone Els5 knows as you walk down the street, that you have a price.

We ask you on this day of Thanksgiving to remember that there are such things as Business, a thing called Big Business. The most "respectable" people will excuse things on "the ground of Business. There are such things as Public Service Corporations and such things as Trusts. Those are the things that you will be told are business. Common honesty and a consideration of Right and Wrong are ths things the only things which are going to save this "promised land." The Golden Galleon of Hope and Optimism must be steered on those lines, in your own town and in your own country, if we are to have a continuance of the work of the Puritans and Cavaliers of Massachusetts and Virginia.

tite by the time we had got round to them." The above extract from a New England letter a century ago shows that they had something to be thankful for.

THE CORPORATION THANKSGIVING

Can't you Imagine the Standard Oil

company saying this to a small refin

ing company today?

We are Indebted to Oliver Herford for the verse which is neither "Goops"

nor "Purple Cons."

It was a hungry pussy cat, upon

Thanksgiving morn.

And she watched a thankful little

mouse, that ate an ear of corn.

"If I ate a thankful little mouse, how

thankful he should be.

When he has made a meal himself, to

make a meal for me! Then with his thanks for having fed, and his thanks for feeding me. With all his thankfulness inside, how thankful I should be. Thus mused the hungry cat upon Thanksgiving day: But the little mouse had overheard, nd declined (with thanks) to stay.

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

Our Navy. From the Omaha Bee. One hopeful i a il i- il,A

future evolution of the navy promises to be along lines that may make for economy. The strategists having

auxiliary vessels, the navy promises to

be confined to two classes, the bat

tleships and the destroyers. Simplified batteries are promised for the dreadnoughts, and inasmuch as the naval battles of the future are likely to be confined largely to long range fighting, it is probable that fewer warships will be needed and that no exhaustive addition to our present program need be made. As far as our country is concerned, it must main

tain a navy sufficient to operate if need be, against any hostile power in either ocean, so that we have a

direct interest in every proposal to fix a limit for European fleets.

The Nicaragua Affair. From the New Orleans Picayune. The demand of the United States government upon President Zelaya for an immediate and full explanation of the

execution of two Americans captured

in the ranks of the insurgents is eminently proper. While a foreigner serving in a revolutionary force prac

tically forfeits his right to protection by his own government, international custom and justice demand that foreigners so serving who are captured

should not be summarily dealt witn. or punished in any way without due process of law. While the sentence of death by court-martial is still recognized as a legitimate punishment of

rebels caught with arms in their hands, common practice in modern times has dictated more lenient treatment, except where the circumstances

show that the conduct of rebels has

been exceptionally flagrant.

Good Times.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Trade indiciae during the past weeic showed a continuance of the previous activity. In some departments there were signs that high tide has been reached in the price movement. While

these took the form of slight reecs 6ions the active demand makes it evi

dent that the general price level will be practically maintained. Its pro

longed continuance is the more likely from the fact that the price boom has

not been carried to a point that checks

consumption and necessitates a notable recession of prices. This is said

especially of the iron and steel trade

Good Weather in Texas. From the Houston Post. The tem

perature is simply delightful and just

cool enough . for overcoats that are new, nobby and swagger. It is not

cool enough for old, frazzled over coats.

BOND RECEIVES A FII1E TEXT BOOK

Thinks Primer of Sanitation

Should Be Introduced In Schools.

IT DEALS WITH DISEASES

HEALTH OFFICER STATES HE

WILL RECOMMEND THE BOOK TO SCHOOL BOARD FOR USE IN THE LOWER GRADES.

City Health Officer Dr. Charles S. Bond today received a nook which he

believes would be a valuable addition to the text books of the public schools. The book is called "The

Primer of Sanitation" and Is published

by the World Book Company at Yonk-ers-on-tbe-Hudson, New York. It deals with the various disease germs, how diseases are contracted, how to pre

vent or ward off an attack of the dif

ferent maladies, and the care of one's body. The book is illustrated and the substance is explained in a perfectly

clear, logical and simple manner in

such a way as to be easily grasped by the children.

Views of Dr. Bond. Dr. Bond stated that he would rec

ommend the book to the school board

for use in the lower grades of the public schools of the city. He stated that more attention should be paid to the hygiene and physical care of the body and that to most children such a

thing was practically unknown. He

declared that if some of the old studies were replaced by a new and more modern study of the body and the children were taught the first rudiments of right living from a standpoint of sanitation, the benefits reaped from such a course would soon be apparent and the health of the future generations would be of a much higher standard as a result. The new study has been tried in several of the larger cities and found to be very successful. Dr. Bond recommends that it be given a try in this city at least and feels certain that the profits derived from its introduction will justify its continuance.

- THANKSGIVING The year decays, November's blast Through leafless boughs pipes shrill and drear; With warmer love the home clasps fast The bands, the heart, the friends most dear. On many seas men sail the fleet Of hopes as fruitless as the foam; They roam the world with restless feet But find no sweeter spot than home. Today with quickened hearts they hear , Old times, old voices chime and call; The dreams of many a vanished year Sit by them at this festival; Though hearts that warmed them once are cold Though heads are lioar wit'a winter frost That once were bright with tangled gold Thanks for the blessings, kept or lost. Thanks for the strong free wind of life How ever it change or veer; For the love of mother and sister and wife; Clear stars that to haven steer; For the quenchless lamps of changeless love . That burn in the night of the dead; For the life that is. the hope above Be thanks by all hearts said. ANONYMOUS.

TERRIBLE INDIGESTION L. H. Fine has a Remedy That ha Guarantees to Promptly Relieve All Stomach Distress. Aeorle go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years and imag-

! ine they have a serious disease.

They over eat or over drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work. But they never thing that the stomach needs extra help to do extra work. If these people would take a Mi-o-na tablet with or after meals it would be a great big help to the stomach in its strain of overwork. No matter what you eat or drink Mi-o-na tablets will sweeten your sour stomach and stop gas belching In 5 minutes. The heaviness disappear and the stomach is greatly aided In its work of digestion. And Mi-o-na not only promptly relieves all distress, but if taken regularly will absolutely cure indigestion by building up the flabby overworked walls of the stomach and making them strong enough to digest the niot-t hearty meal. L. H. Fihe sells and guarantees Mi-o-na. The price is 50 cents a Urge box. Leading druggists everywhere sell Mi-o-na. Test sample free from Booth's Mi-o-na. Buffalo. N. Y.

New York, Nov. 2o. Want darkens the life of the great-granddaughter of Charles Wesley, "the Singer of Methodism," who, had he chosen the world, might have left a great estate to his posterity rather than the legacy of hymns of divine love for all mankind. This woman is also the grandniece of John Wesley, who founded the Methodist Episcopal church. From London comes her appeal, through the Herald, to the American people for aid in her declining years. She is Mrs. Kate L. Wesley Gray, who, as she nears three score and ten, finds, that owing to her poor sight and her failing strength, she is no longer able to support herself by her work as an artist. Efforts have been made by Mrs. Gray to obtain an annuity from the sale of the hymbooks written by the Wesleys, but owing to the expiration of the copyrights she is unable to get any income from that source. In that England which in the eighteenth century was stirred by the songs and discourses of the great evangelists of her race, Mrs. Gray has been unable to find the assistance she now so sorely needs. She therefore writes to those who dwell in a land where Methodism numbers Its hundreds of thousands of devoted followers, and where the old hymns stir Christians of every denomination. Mrs. Gray's letter is dated October 24. No. 7 Kenilworth avenue, Wimbledon Park, S. W., London, and. omitting matter which refers to the genealogy of the family, is as follows: "In deep trouble and anxiety I have

thought to write and lay before you my

misfortunes. I should begin by tell

ing you that I am the great-niece of

John Wesley and great granddaughter of his brother Charles. My mother

was the daughter of Samuel Wesley and granddaughter of Charles Wesley, the hymn writer, and received an an

nuity from the proceeds of the sale of

those hymns. When she died I was

in a position to help myself by my profession as an artist, but now, through the continued-strain upon my eyes, I have contracted ulcers in the eye. which now occur so frequently that I am forced to lay aside my work for many months during the year. "I have applied to the Wesleyan society to grant me the annuity which my mother had. but it seems impossible for them to help me to get it, as you will see from the enclosed letter written to my daughter by the Rev. Nehemiah Curnock, who, I am sure, would help me to get it, were it in his power to do so. "I have thought that among the many rich Americans something might be done for me under these trying circumstances, for I know that there are

manv erood and Eenerous Americans

who love the memory of the good old

preachers. John and Charles Wesley, and for their sakes would lend a help

ing hand to a descendant of theirs

who could give good testimony of a

bnrrl wnrkinsr useful life, which has

extended up to the present sixty-eighth year of my age. I am sure that there could be no better medium than through the columns of your valuable paper. "I must apoliogize for the length of

this letter and for trespassing on your.

valuable time, but I feel sure mat n

you can see your way clear to helping me you will do so. I can not conjecture any reason for the present Wesleyans withholding their help from ni", unless it be that my mother's brother, the Rev. Dr. Charles Wesley, chaplain to the late Queen Victoria, was a churchman, as were also my mother

and myself, and also John and Charles Wesley, although their methods differed from the Church. Still, they were not dissenters, and i" this is the reason

it does not seem to me to be right." Mrs. Gray encloses excerpts from Dr Stephenson's "Memoirs of the Wes

leys." in which is the account of how

Charles Wesley refused to accept the temporal advantages offered by becoming the heir of Garrett Wesley, of Ireland. Richard Cowley accepted the distinction, took the name of Wesley, was made Lord Mornington and became the grandfather of Arthur, Duke of Wellington. John Wesley,- commenting upon his brother's decision, said It was "a fair escape." Had the choice been otherwise, Mrs. Gray comments. Methodism would not have had its hymnologist nor the British nation a great military hero. She endorses a letter from the Rev. Mr. Curnock explaining that, owing to the expiration of all copyrights, the Wesleyan Society Is unable to do anything for her.

Robla Rrdkrntat. The country people of England, aa well as of several other countries, have an Idea that the red of the robins breast was caused by a drop of blood which fell upon it at the crucifixion. According to the story, the robin, commiserating the condition of Christ, tried to pluck the crown of thorus from bis brow, and. In doing so, got It breast wet with the blood flowing from the wounds. The color became permanent, being transmitted from generation to generation, and thus, according to the legend, the robin is a perpetual reminder of the sufferings of Christ.
