OUR THANKS.

Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving and
the TIMES feels duty bound to rise
to its feet and, from the fullness Of
its heart, return thanks to whom
thanks are due for various and mul-
titudinous favors enjoyed since last
we were permitted to celebrate
this, the great North American
Holiday.
We are not like that everlasting
fault-flnder, that poor shriveled
soul, who, rearing back upon the
breeching of his dignity, proclaims
to all the world that he has naught
for which to be thankful. There is,
or should be, a tender spot in the
heart of every one Of Gods Great
ures, which, touched by pure mo-
tive, bursts forth in praise and
thanksgiving. To give vent to such
kindly emotions, Thanksgiving is
observed.
We are thankful for small favors
and do not growl savagely at Fate
because he hath not ground US out
a grist of favors of more gigantic
proportions. Full many times du.
ring the past year have we walked
the streets of Maryville, an air Of
resignation profusely manifested
with a rusty two cent piece in our
pocket-the only lien we then held
on a fat pocketbook-and no one tc
shed a tear DER our financial EN-.
barassment. How many times, after
a week of denser gloom than ever
settled ut nightfall, were we striv
ing to make both ends meet-and
one of them wouldn't-when some
conscience-stricken, delinquen,
subscriber, bursting upon us like 9
moonbeam, brought US in a dollar
and a half!
How many times, too, have WI
had occasion to rejoice when some
offended citiz"n, becoming irate .
some saying Of our innocent para
grapher, postponed his project O
raising for US a "club," and thu
neglecting to transmit our fragile
frame to the boundless realms o
space!
Again, when we hunt around TO
causes to be grateful, We remember
that this is a free country and tina
we were not compelled to become
a subscriber to the Blount Count!
Citizen.
But, in addition to these greatel
things, there are minor reasons fo
which we should publicly express
our thanks.

metrical temple of knowledge
which stands as a monument to tn

CHAPTER ".

For a time the escaped prisoner
was a thing of the past in their
minds and the retreat to the house
was precipitated with great speed.
When they arrived, the chicken had
been cooked, bread arranged in
great piles, and the kraut was
stacked up, so that when they en-
tered the door they thought, out of
generosity and pity, the old lady
had simply knocked the head out
of the barrel, upturned it, and left
the contents on the table.
H. Immediately proceeded to un-
burden that part of the table where
the kraut was placed, and scOOped
a third of it onto his large wooden
plate. It was handed to F. and he

bage.
But, one bite of the krout satis-
fed both. They could not stand it.
A little yellow dog was wistfully
gazing at H. and was doubtless en-
viOus of the luxury which he (H. J
was so much enjoying. What to do

Of cabbage to the dog, and it was

the dog ate it as eagerly as the first

both were out of kraut. "You mer

had for years. Here, have some

Bad Time for Book Agents.

A book agent entered the Office of a
man Of business on LaSalle street.
What have you ?" said he.
The agent commenced to take the
book from under his coat.
"What have your" again said the
man.
The book agent commenced to take
the paper from the book as he advanced,
but made no answer.
what have you in your hand ?"
roared the Office man.
"If you'll wait just two minutes I'll
tell yoI," said the man with the book.
1.-Two minutes be id. II you can't
tell me what you have in your hand just
get out of this" and the book agent was
forced to make double quick time
through the door, and there was no dy-
Mantle in his package either.

FARM UABORERS.

The Question of Wages rs 1t Present,
| itself to Asriculturists.
As farming is carried on, most men
who improve new farms. building their
own fences. outbuildings, ETC., using
every acre broken up for growing grain
for many of the first years of their
farming operations. get stiff in joint
and muscle at thirty-tiye, and begin to
feel old at forty-five. If their land
when taken in hand was timbered.
then the result of the added strain is
very much more pronounced. Men
starting on such an enterprise usually
do SO single handed, as the help of the
boys comes in later. Without cash capt.
tai to draw from, it can hardly be en-
pected that a new farm, started in the
way indicated, will earn any surplus out
of which wages can be paid to hired men.
No, the country has been settled and
improved, in a great measure, by wear
ing one set of men and women out. a
set that could only have a farm and
home by making this from the wild
land. through the vigor and vitality of
their own brain and Drawn.
But in later years help must be en-
ploved, and it is not with farming and
stock-growing as with certain specula-.
tive and manufacturing pursuits,
where, as it were, the turn of card
brings with it large and quick returns.
1t is a serious question when grain is
being raised without profit-and for
the purpose of selling off the farm
whether it is not best to let the land
stand over and rest rather than to till
it with hired labor at current cost.
Expenses have SO grown Of late. as
compared to former years, that when
men look back at the wages paid years
ago, the difference is seen to be start
ling. Thus. Prof. Thompson in a
lecture on labor in Harvard, states
that in 1898 an Eastern canal company
offered IS a month for laborers during
the winter months, and S6 during the
summer, with board and lodging.
About the same time United States
soldiers were paid only B month.
A proposal to raise the pay to 81 was
met by the statement that in Vermont
labor was only worth 81 month with
board and clothing. In 1897 farm
labor was employed in Rhode Island
for 80 month for the year. and for s.
during the busy season. In Connect.
cut strong boy could be hired for ?!
a month to work from daybreak until
eight or nine o'clock at night OF
course produce was low in price, and
rise in butter from eight to ten cents
turned the heads of farmers wives and
daughters. Girls hired out at twenty
five cents month and board. In 1921
the best farm hands could be had for
twenty-five cents day, and twice this
price for moving time. In 1929 men
hired out to work on the canals at sixty
to seventy-tive cents day. But the
question in our time is not can the
farmer afford to pay 31S q month for
farm hands. but can he get efficient
help at any price? And the further
question is, had he not better seed
three-fourths of his farm to grass and
let the farm beasts do the harvesting

tAlta California;
The methods that some people employ
to make living are peculiar. For In
stance, there is one man in this city who
makes a comfortable living by supplying
cats with their daily food. Almost every
business Office and Wholesale store down.
town has from one to four cats who are
necessary for the protection Of the prem.
Uses from the depredations of rats. These
cats formerly were fed by the porters or
Office boys, who often neglected them,
and a. a consequence the advent Of
tho eat-man. as he is called, was
hailed with delight. Every morning, soon
after the stores are opened, pal e-faced,
middle-aged Austrian may be seen wan
dering around California, Front and ad-
jacent streets carry ing with him q large
can Of milk and basket Of meat. All Of
the principal places arc on his list. He is
so quiet in his work that his presence is
noticed by few other than his feline
patrons, who always greet him with
every evidence of recognition and pleas
ure. He speaks a few words to the cats to
quiet their outburst Of welcome, then
fills saucer full of milk, leaves a little
meat close by, and proceeds to the next
customer. He is paid twenty five cents
q week for feeding each cat, and should
there be a litter of kittens the tax is ten
cents additional. The cat-man is sharp.
At times the cats will stray from their be-
longings and seek more congenial quar-
tiers. When the purveyor comes scound
in the morning and notices the absence of
his customer he Immediately starts on q
still hunt for her, and the wanderer Is gen.
orally found and returned to her proper
home. However, il the cat can not be
found another is soon substituted, and in
this way his list of customers is not less
ened. The cat-man uses about ten gallons
Of milk and fifty pounds Of meat each day,
and has an assistant to help him. Several
dogs are also provided with meat
