Turkey it was of course which graced all the Thanksgiving dinner tables yesterday. The house mother in the family brought in and asked paterfamilias to carve the turkey, Just plain turkey, with sage stuffing. Cranberries shewed their delightful red on one fide of the American bird with the toothBome breast, and on the other hung the scalloped tops of long and luscious celery stalks. There was jam and preserves and grape jelly and some more preserves. There •was .mince and pumpkin pie, and angel food and choeolate cake. There was coffee and tea and milk whenever you wanted to ask lor it. And father and son and mother and daughter talked incessantly between bites about matter of mutual interest. While the son who had come from college to regale himself at the house table after two months' of monotonous boarding house diet, and the married daughter who had brought her husband back to revive on the food prepared by an experienced housewife, fed on the substantials and the dainties they told of their pleasures and their troubles.

But there Were other tables in the city where people stated themselves With a decorous bow to the other occupants and addressed themselves without ado to an elaborate Nil of fare setting forth a menu with all sorts of delicious probabilities hidden behind names as foreign to the occasion as Mexican tortillas. Some as they glanced about the room, where hundreds of others were probably doing the same thing, wondered what was happening at the old homestead just then, and how big a turkey was being carved for family and relatives. Then they picked up the "bill of fere once more and, urged by the presence of a glossy, belinened waiter at elbow, made a wild guess at the particulars for the first course, and drummed a fork or read a newspaper while waiting for the return of the dapper servant.

The hotels of Terre Haute had prepared their usual elaborate menu for the occasion. This is what the two hundred and ten guest^ who sat at the Terre Haute House tab^s yesterday saw the face of the pretty bill of fare: (For all the year's increase,

LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA.

The President Will Discuss It in His Message.

"Washington, Nov. 25.—The president will, in his message, devote more attention to (Alaska than has been given to the big territory heretofore since its purchase. It is known that the executive will recommend speedy legislation to secure the best possible government for Alaska, and that he will •160 take occasion to point out the difficulties which the people jure under and will urge that something should also be done to protect the property of the government. In this connection he will allude to the fact that the government is losing large sums because there is no way of protecting the timber from indiscriminate use. Commissioner Hermann, cf the general land office, has submitted information on this point to the president, and has also taken occasion to recommend some radical changes is the laws delating to the system for cutting timber In other sections. At present large companies and corporations are cutting timber under the permit system, supposedly for use In the mines, but the commissioner has information that train load afcer train load of lumber has been taken from the forests and (placed ia the lumber yards in various cities

and towns and never used for mining purposes at all. A better system of permits for cutting and inspection of timber, not only for the mineral states of the west, but a lea for Alaska, has been presented to the president arfd the governthent officials win endeavor to have legislation speedily enacted for the better protection of the forest.

MAURICE WELCH DEAD.

Well Known Employe of the E. & T. H.— Death of Edward Johnson. Maurice Welch, the well known former policeman and employe of the E. & T. H. railway company, died yesterday morning, after a long illness. His death had been hourly expected for a- week. He was one of the most prominent Irish-American residents of this city.

Mr. Welch was born in County Cary, Ireland, but came to this country with his parents when but two years of age. When 19 years of age he entered Company K, of the 86th Indiana volunteers, but was afterwards transferred to the Second Battalion of the Veteran Reserve Corps. He served three years until the close of the war when he received an honorable discharge.

He leaves a wife and six children, three sons and three daughters, who are as follows: Thomas, who is employed at the E. & T. H. freight house Richard, of the Terre Haute Iron and Steel company William, of Sam Goodman's clothing store Misses Margaret, Nellie and Katie.

Edward A. Johnson, a prominent farmer of Otter Creek township, died Wednesday night, aged 76 years.

William Lampton, a farmer of Fayette township, died at his home yesterday morning of heart disease, He was 68 years old.

'Death of Kdward A. .Johndon. Edward^A. Johnson, whose death occurred Wednesday evening at his home, four miles north of the city, was born in Warren county, Ohio, October 15, 1821. While he was still quite young the family moved to Indiana, where he grew to manhood, learning the harness and saddlery trade at Indianapolis. He then moved to Rushville, where he and John Carr carried on his chosen business. While in Rushville he married Miss Barscina A. Laughlin, daughter of Judge B. and Ruth Laughlin. From Rushville he moved to Laurel, Franklin county. Soon he moved to Wabash county, and then back to Rushville.

In 1849 he came to Vigo county, which has been his home ever since. During his life in this county he has been assessor for two terms and trustee of Otter Creek township for one term. 'He farmed and continued his business of saddlery. He leaves a wife, aged 74, and four children, L. L. Johnson, Ruth F. Johnson, E. M. Johnson and Anna Johnson. Funeral from the residence, four miles north of the city, at 1 o'clock, Friday afternoon, November 26, 1897. Interment at Highland Lawn cemetery.

NO STATEHOOD FOR HAWAII.

Mr. Hatch Says Territorial Government is Preferred. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Washington, Nov. 25.—The Hawaiian minister, Mr. Hatch, arrived last night, He has been on the islands for some time, promoting annexation sentiment, and getting material in hand to aid the adoption of the annexation treaty at the coming session of congress. He appears to be very confident of thfB success of *his mission and says the treaty nyill be ratified by the necessary twothirds vote. One point the minister discusses with emphasis is that the Hawaiian do not want statehood Said he: "We seek only a territorial form of government. We don't want the responsibility of governing the Islands, and prefer that the federal government of the United States should assume it."

The minister was frank to admit that the present republic was incapable of maintaining itself, and not only willing, but anxious to surrender the reins of power to somebody else. He did not appear to realize that this was a fatal admission, for it proves what has always been contended by the men who oppose annexation, that the alleged government on the islands merely wants to invoke the power and protection of the United States to advance private enterprises, in which they are engaged, and suggests what a doubtful acquisition the Hawaiian islands would be to the United States.

Minister Hatch says the smaller questions of customs regulations and immigration have been all arranged for in Hawaii, and that the threatened trouble between the local government and Japan is rapidly approaching an amicable settlement.

WANT MORRISON'S PLACE.

Many Applicants for the Interstate Commerce Commissionership. Special to the Indianaoolis News.

Washington, Nov. 25.—There is likely to be a lively fight over the vacancy on the interstate commerce commission that will occur when William R. Morrison retires. Senator Hanna wants D. K. Watson, of Ohio, appointed to the position. The vice president of the United States is urging upon the president the necessity of naming a man from his section of the country. Judge Paxson, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, has been indorsed by both Pennsylvania senators and by many influential factors, but the geographical arguments are all against Pennsylvania. New England has one commissioner, New York another, and it is not likely that the third place on the commission will be given to that section of the country. Senator Cullom will insist that the new commissioner be appointed from the state of Illinois, and has given his indorsement to David T. Littler, of Springfield.

Is Max Rosenberg a Hypnotist? Cincinnati, Nov. 25.—Max Rosenberg the theatrical manager, has been arrested and is held for the Indianapolis authorities. He is wanted on a bigamy charge made by Mrs. Blanche Rosenberg, nee Mitchell, of Chicago, who says they were married November 1st, 1896, -but after living with her parents awhile he tired of her. She says that on X* rch 1st of this year Rosenberg was married to Jessie Crawford and that he is said to have another wife in New York City. Hypnotic influences on Rosenberg's part is alleged. Rosenberg says he was married twice but divorced both times and will return to Indianapolis without requisition papers, V/

THE UNION SERVICE

CHTUBCHES OF THK CITY CNITJE IX THANKSGIVING SERVICES.

An Able Sermon By the Rev. WltmerKTMlnf Service at the German M.

It was a congregation which filled the First Methodist church yesterday moriiing to listen to the Thanksgiving services. 3Eight churches of the city had united for this service, and were represented by the following ministers on the rostrum:

Rev. Dr. Torrance, of the Central Presbyterian church Rev. John A. Blaip, of the Washington Avenue Presbyterian Rev. Charles H. Perclval, of the First Congregational Rev. W. W. Witmer, of the Central Christian church Rev. Dr. Wm. F. Harding, of the Second Congregational Rev. Dr. W. F. Griewe, of the German Methodist Rev. Worth M. Tippy, of Centenary Methodist, and Rev. D. Tillotson, of the First M. E. church. ..

Miss Steinaclier presided \t therorgan, and thj quartette choir, composed of the Misses Martin, Rose and Wilson and Mr. Wilbur Starr, rendered a number of beautiful anthems. Prayer was offered by Dr. Torrance. At the close of the sermon a collection for the charities of the city was taken. Rev. Witmer spoke as follows:

Psalms 92, 1 "It is a good Jhing to give thanks unto the Lord." -£••'. Praise is the rent we owe our God. It was the law in some of the old monasteries, that the chanting of praise should never be interrupted, and the one choir of monks should relieve another in the holy service. Praise is the one religious exercise of Heaven, angels are offering it ceaselessly, resting not, neither night nor day saints are offering it ceaslessly in paradise nature in all her different departments is offering it ceaselessly. From the Heavens which declare tie glory of God, and the firmament which showeth his handiwork, down to the dewdrop which sparkles with colors of the rainbow, and the lark which tunes her cheerful carol as she salutes the rising sun, the whole creation sends up one grand chorus of praise to the throne of God. Praise is "the only part of our duty which shall cdfitlilue forever. Our prayers shall cease wh£n oiir petitions have been answered, our faith, dhall be changed to sight and our hope (a glad fruition, but praise shall go singing

Church—Other Churches.

In to Heaven

and shall endure throughout 'tile cycles of an endless eternity. These are two reasons, why it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. 1. We must Tecegnize the true source of ail our blessings. We learn what is the true theology of the universe. IS It, Monotheism, Duelism, or Polytheism? The Persians worshiped two supposed co-eternal divinities. The Greeks worshiped their 30,000 imaginary deities, and the Hindoos, 333,000,000. It is evident that under the present sin-per-verted light of nature, the tendency of the human mind is to Polytheism. But the Bible teaches us there is but one God. "Hear O Israel, Jehovah, our God is one Jehovah.' As thelsts we, believe that we. are to give thanks to God, the maker of heaven and earth, the giver of every good and perfect gift, the maker of our bodies and the fathei of our spirits. The lines of argument idemonstration of the existence of God outside the Bible are manifold. A few we will mention: The Ontolosical^. the Cosmological, the Teleological/ ^the .Ethical and the: Intuitional. Added to these we 'have the testimony of tradition, history, philology and above all revelation. The only consistent and satisfactory account of the author of all our blessings is the one given by the Jewish and Christian scriptures. "Our Father in heaven" is the one to whom we give thanks. Not to a mythological God, or an unknown cause, or unto blind, insensate matter, or unto fate or chance, or unto a fortuitous combination of circumstances, but unto absolute intelligence, the only adequate cause for the existence of life, mind and intelligence. Our country with all our boasted institutions, our liberty, our material prosperity, our schools and churches, our hospitals and asylums, and all that is beautiful and good and the fruits of our Chrictian civilization. Macauley says that he who attacks Christianity is guilty of high trason, for he attacks the fountain head of all that is best and noblest.

II. "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord" for thus, .we learn to be grateful. Nothing more detestable does the earth produce than an t&gratful man. Among the Persians the crime of ingratitude was regarded the basest'and most unpardonable of all. If all the grumblers in the world were summoned together in some thundering calliope what an army there would be. A larger army than ever Xerxes commanded. You will find them everywhere as thick as the frogs of Egypt. No trade, calling, or profession is free from them. They were found in the days of Christ. He healed ten lepers and only one gave him thanks and he was a Samaritan. "Where are the nine" was the question then and the question now. These Ingrates are like the dead sea which receives the water from the Jordan but it has no outlet. They receive but never give. They are like the ocean which receives the fresh, waters from many rivers but never becomes fresh and sweet itself. These pessimists never see anything beautiful, pleasing or delightful. They select their Thanksgiving texts from the book of Lamentations. They prefer the dirges of Jermiah to the Psalms of David. They think Christians are hypocrite and God needs watcning. They weep over flowers because they must fade, pity childhood because it must grow old and meet with trials. They cry at feasts because they must come to an end. The English word "thankful'*' is allied to its Anglo-Saxon derivative "thinkful." To be thankful then is to be thoughtful, mindful 'of blessings received. Plato was thankful for three things: First, that he was born a man and not a brute second, that he was born a Grecian third, that he was born also a philosopher. The reason for our thankfulness are as innumerable as the stars of heaven. This union meeting is a reason for thankfulness. The happy issue of the Venezulean controversy is an event which must stir with joy the heart of every lover of peace and believer in the supremacy of An-glo-Saxon civilization. The dream of thei peace society and the prophecy of scripturemust soon be realized. "Swords will be beaten into plowshares and the spears iflto pruning hooks and nations' shall learn war no more forever."

That there is a responsive chord in the hearts of the people to the cry of those who need the gospel is illustrated by the response in the appeal of the Rev. Albert B. Simpson, of New York City, who appealed to 3,000 people in Carnegie Hall to pay the debt they owed to the world, and they gave him $122,000 with which to send missionaries to convert the heathen ofi Asia and Africa.

Eugenie, of Sweden,, sol^ her, crown jewels that she might builii, a home for 3001% poor cripples. As she sat-by the side of a poor woman one day who was dying the* woman said: "Lovely princess I bless the Lord for sending you to ibis island. But for you I never should have learned the love of Jesus." She fell back dead, but the hand of Eugenie was covered w:th tears from those dying eyes. Eugenie lifted her eyes to God and said, "Oh, my'Savior, I sold my jewels for Thee, but I see them all restored

and how much more beautiful they are than when,I formerly wore them." "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LOKL" From this we learn to be gratefuL

HERE IS MORE PROOF.

Arnold's ©ig Sale—Those Who Advertise iAre Doing the Business. "several days ago Mr. A. Arnold, the'vet-' eran Main street clothing merchant, told to the public by means of posters and through the columns of the daily papers of the city that a big sale would be inaugurated by him, the reason therefor being that much money must be raised, and to attain that end big reductions would be made in the price of every article, carried in stock. Many bargains were offered and the people responded. During the last week the store has enjoyed the most lucrative business in its history. It was the publications of the city, the dally papers that find their way into the homes of the people, that brought these customers to Mr. Arnold's doors, the space bought in their columns devoted to a recital of the values offered that compelled him to employ two extra clerks to care fdt the increase in business- And yet there are many who doubt that advertising pays.

Thfi late P. T. Barnum, the greatest advertiser this world has ever known, once said:, "If you have three bushels of apples to sell give one bushel in advertising the good qualities of the other two bushels:" Again, it is continuous effort that pays in advertising as in everything else. "Jones, he pays the freight," has been made a household phrase by the expenditure of thousands oi dollars (by- the manufacturer of heavy weighing scales.: It is continuousness in advertising that has made the word "Royal" before "Baking Powder," worth over $2,000,000. LIS 1S? SL fact that'he owner of Royal Baking Powder recently refused $12,000,000 for his business, an enterprise built-up and fostered by persistent advertising**If you are In business keep your name before the public through the columns of the'Jflaily papers.

THE CIVIL SERVICE ATTACK.

Fear That the Democrats May Prevent Action. Special to the Indianapolis News.

Washington, Nov. 25.—A caucus of the Republican "members of the house will be called soon after congress assembles to decide what action the party shall take on civil* service. Congressman Dollivar, of Iowa, is authority for the statement. He Is very much opposed to the civil service law, as it is now executed, and he speaks for that class of congressmen who want the law either modified or repealed. It is fearjd by the opponents of the civil service that the Democrats will Join with the friends of the merit system in the Republican party and defeat or prevent any action on the subject. On that account the caucus will be called and an attempt made to commit the Republicans of the house to the repial of the civil service law and to hold the solid Republican membership In line by the strict rule of the caucus.

Woman at the Bottom of It. The fight between Martin Golden and Joe Mounty Wednesday night at Thirteenth and Locust streets in which Mounty's eye was gouged out discloses the fact that there was a woman in the case. The light was the direct result of a dice game, but Mounry would not have been in the saloon shaking dice had it not been for the fact that his best girl, the woman he was engaged to marry, had jilted him. He was to have been martied to Katie Miller. The young woman recently went to Michigan and It was while there that she met a handsomer man and wrote to Mounty that she would not sign the lifetime contract to preside over his pie factory. As Mounty had already purchase:} some furniture with the view" of going to kouse keeping he naturally became nettled jjit the letter received from Katie, and to drown his troubles be went out and got $ruak. The dice game was the result and then came the fight in which he wast worsted.

I PROBLEMS FOB 1898.

SOME FINANCIAL ISSUES THAT CONCERN THE FUTURE

Matthew Marshall, th» New York Sun's Wall Street Seer, Dfseoues the Subject of Finance, Confftess and the feellnis «f the People.-

What all clear sighted observers suspected and feared has become a certainty—the victory of the gold standard ill 1896 baa ehown itself to have been tndeoieive, not Only in form, but also in the number of votes by which It was achieved. Not till the last moment indeed did the Republicall leaders oonsent in 1896 to admit the mention of gold into the party platform, and they explicitly avowed their willingness to aooept silver as a monetary standard, jointly with gold, provided the other commercial nations of the world would do the same. Fortunately the Democrats came out squarely for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 "without the aid.or oonsent of any other nation," and thus forced the voters to ohoose between the immediate adoption of the silver standard and a future adoption of it under hypothetical conditions.

By what strenuous efforts the immediate free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was defeated in 1896 will be remembered by all, and the close vote of 7,100,000 against it to 6,500,000 for it is a matter of record. That the silverites were fully justified by the result in continuing their fight the last New York city elections also prove. New York city has by an enormous majority declared itself at least indifferent In the controversy, whereas a year ago it voted by almost as large a majority against silver. New York state has, though less decisively, also exhibited a chango in ltd temper.

Ohio, which a year ago went overwhelmingly against the silver candidate, is this year doubtful, and may possibly send a silver senator to Washington next March. Kentucky has declared for the silver cause after repudiating it in 1896, and what was the leading antisilver newspaper in the state, the Louisville Journal, has been compelled by the loss of readers to abandon its hostility to silver and announces that it will hereafter support the Democratic platform without reserve. Nebraska, Bryan's state, maintains the position it took in his behalf last year, and so do all the western states which then gave him majorities. In fact, the aggregate popular voto cast on Tuesday is nearly as large for silver as that in the same territory was against it in 1896. No wonder, then, that Mr. Bryan exults and confidently predicts success for silver in 1900.

How many votes were gained for the Republican candidate in 1896 by the express promise of the party to maintain the gold standard only until an international bimetallic agreement could be obtained and by the obligation it apparently assumed to accept silver as soon as the effort to reach such an agreement definitely failed it is impossible to say, but their number must have been considerable. Now that the event in view has happened, and Europe, under the lead of Great Britain, has refused to make the agreement to promotion of which the St. Louis convention pledged itself, the Republicans must come out unequivocally either for silver or for gold, and if, as is most probable, they come out for gold, the question whether the majority of .the voters will sustain them in doing so is one which will be answered if not by the elections of 1898 then by those of 19Q0.

Silver, though the chief, is not the only financial issue before the country) A large number of our citizens, Democrats as well as Republicans, and many of them living at the west—although the majority of them reside in this' section—are desirous to bring about what they call a reform of the national currency system, the leading feature of which is the funding into interest bearing bonds of the government demand notes, now serving the purpose of money, and the substitution for them of bank notes under conditions which will make the issue of those notes more profitable to the banks than it now is. They assert that the Republican party received at the election of 1896 a mandate from the people to make this reform, but there Is not the slightest ground for the assertion, and it is based upon nothing but imagination.

That congress will comply with any reoommendation to this effect is highly improbabla Three years ago a bill based upon a similar recommendation from President Cleveland, was presented to the house of representatives, but got no further than the committee of the wholej and was then thrown out. The speaker of the present house is notoriously hostile to any currency legislation at present, and is apparently supported in this attitude by a majority of the representatives. The senate is committed against any currency scheme of which the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is not a part, while the house is equally committed against any bill containing such a provision.

More certain to arouse financial discussion in congress is the subject of revenue. At present the government's expenditures are exceeding its income at the rate of between $75,000,000 and $80,000,000 a year. Hopeful officials of the treasury predict that its receipts have reached their lowest point, and from now on will increase, especially in the item of customs duties, which have been kept down, they say, by the large Imports of dutiable goods made last summer la anticipation of the passage of the new tariff act. These goods having at last been consumed, larger imports to supply the country's wants must be made, and these imports, under the new and increased duties, it is expected, will yield in-^ creased revenue. Besides this, the oppor-c tune sale of the Union Pacific railway will in January replenish the treasury by about $29,000,000, that sum being the excess of the price which the government will receivo for the railway over and above the amount of the subsidy bonds which it hai to pay off. Making allowance, however, for relief from these sources, it is tolerably certain that either new duties on imports or new internal revenue taxes will have to be laid to prevent some part of the same impairment of the treasury reserve which nearly created a panic in 1895. The treasury, it is true, now holds over $150,000,00C in gold, and could have $50,000,000 more for the asking if it had the notes to give in exchange for it, but it has no more ol these notes than it needs for its own use, and it may before the fiscal year ends have t? make it# payments in gold. At next month's session of congress, therefore, the subject of the tariff and internal revenue is pretty sure to be debated, and the experience of last summer sufficiently indicates what the financial effect ol the debate is likely to be. Every mercantile and manufacturing interest will be disturbed and universal anxiety over the final nctiou of congress will prevail.—Matthew Marshall in New York Sun.

SHE WAS FROM THE NORTH.~~

And the Coadaotw Always JFoHowed the Adrioe of Davy Crockett. Street car conductors are full of experiences. The wonder" is that they do not take to writing sketchbooks. But BO far as is known literature has not been enriched at all by sketches from the pens of ex-street car conductors. Their highest ambition seems to be to get on the police force or serve the people as' guardians of the peace or something of that sort. All ex-street car conductor relates' this experience et his own

One evening a lady boarded his car. He was drawn to look at her the secend tune on account of superfluity of finery s^e

displayed, and t&olvcatiM tfwwafl on# of the handsomest women he had ever be* held. She was tail and was possessed of a bewildering rotundity. She wore a neat fitting black silk dress, had a gold watchguard or chain that lapped sevdral times around her neck and vanished where it attached itself to something that was hot visible to the eye, and at her throat sparklod a cluster that dazzled the eye. "I want to get off at Exchange," she informed the conductor before she had seated herself.

When the conductor came around to collect her fare, she handM him a $20 bill. He busied himself with making, the chango, which was considerable of a task. "You wouldn't break that for Scents, would you?*' she wanted to know of the conductor.' "Yes, mftdam," he replied. "That Is what we are hero for. This corporation needs every cent it can get." She looked a little piqued, but said nothing. Presently the car stopped, and the conductor, addressing his haughty passenger, said: "Here's Exchange street, madam." "Conductor," she snapped, "haven't you carried me by my street?" Her eyes sparkled revengefully. "Up north, where I came from," she continued, rolling be* r's in true Yankee fashion, "when a oar takes a lady by they usually turn back.|^ Her words were as sharp as pine. "Well, madam," replied the conductor, with a profound bow, "down south, where you are now, we never turn back. We try to follow Crockett's advice, 'Be sura you're right, then go ahead.'

She moved all her splendor off that car without uttering another word-—Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

COURTSHIP IN ZUNICAND.

XComen Do the Lovumaklng and Fop tM All Important Question. "The powers freely extended to the wom^v en of Zuni are many, being particularly favorable to them in domestic iJatters, and in everything pertaining to the home," writes Edward Page Gaston in The Woman's Home Companion. "These peculiar liberties are manifest before marriage as well as after, for the alleged priv» ilege* of leap year hold rule continuously in Zuniland. When one of the daughters of the tribe takes an amored liking for young man, she very frankly confesses it, and her parents are informed of her choice of a prospective husband. If they approve, the interesting information.is imparted in due time to his family, ind, if the as yet perhaps unsuspecting subject of the selection is suited, in turn he makes through the mutual parents an engagement to viatt his admirer at her home. He i»received somewhat formally by the maiden and her family, when something like the following laconic conversation ensues between the young people, while the father and mother, with the other members of the household, sit apart, amiably pretending not to listen: 'Thou comesfc,' she says. 'Yes. How be ye these many days?* he answers. **38 'Happy. Gather and sit,' and she motions him to a seat near her. "As a never failing hospitality en the part of a hostess, when a visitor enters a Zuni home she places food before him' and bids him'loosen his belt and lewen his hunger.'

Truly.' 'Possibly we shall see. What think you, father?' as she turns in apparent perplexity to the family group.

As you wish, my child,' her parent replies.

LIFE IN SMALL CITIES-

t\4i

RIore Comfort, Happiness and Success Than In the Big Centers. ., "The higher salaries of the larger cities is perhaps what attracts young men more potently than any other factor," writes Edward W. Bok in The Lodiee' Home Journal, pointing out "Where Success Awaits Young Men"—in the bUiftllw cities. "But, unfortunately," he eays, "as thousands of young men have found for themselves, these salaries are not so high as they were led to believe, nor will the city income buy as much in the metropolis as they bargained for. A salary of $2,000 a year in a big city will not bring a yoting man tho comfortable living which $1,000 a year means to him in the smaller community. With afar more moderate salary the rising young clerk, manager or business man in the small city lives like a king in comparison to the man of equal position in the large center. If he earns $1,000 or $2,000 a year, he has his own little home, by leaso or purchase. For $25 per month he can have his own pretty cottage, with God's pure sunshine on four sides of it. His children have their ewn grass plot for their playground. His porch is his evening pldfcsure and his Sunday delight. Trees shade his street, cool his rooms and make living a comfort. His friends live all around him. "He knows the man who lives next door. His neighbors' children are his children's playmates. His social life has a meaning to it it is a joy and an exhilaration to him. When he goes out in the evening, it is into a home gathering where every face is familiar and where he is known and welcomed. He has time to read, something which the man in the larger city, whom be envies, has not. His church is to him like a family gathering every Sunday morning. The man in the pulpit is his pastor, who perhaps has baptized him, married him and will baptize and marry his children. Respected in his circle of friends, every step of progress in his business is known to them and is the cause for congratulation. He is within easy walking distance or trolley ride of his place of business. To his wife his home is her joy and not her care. She has time for her children, her home, her social duties, her reading and her church. The blood of health rushes through the veins of his children as they sleep and play in an unpolluted atmosphere. Life means something to such a man it means happiness—the true measure of all success.''
