Bismarck recently stated that he
had been anti Semitic in his views
until Jewish banker lifted him out
of the hole, so to speak. This
naive confession of the ex chancellor
should be taken advantage of by the
Jews in dealing with their political
enemies and a many poor Jew

brought to change his persecution

WE present, in another column, q
paper by " Edward Atkinson, OF Bos-
ton, on the art Of subsistiug comfortably
on very little bit OF money This is
no theory with Mr.. Atkinson; it is
problem fully worked out He has had
to do with laboring people all his life
and is entirely familiar with their
troubles and trials, as we'll as their
joys. His heart is large enough to do
more than merely feel sorry for them,
he has oeen willing always TO do some
thing that would tend to put sunshine
into their lives, and the more the better.
The question begotsen of his sympathy
was this: How can the laboring man
secure the greatest possible comfort out
OF his income and still be able to lay
aside a little for the rainy day that
comes 10 us all? The matter of food
was the first element to be considered,
and to il he has given his best thoughts
for many years.

TIL ANIISGIVING DAY.

This IS Thanksgiving Day, day set
apart all over our land for special OBJ
scrvanae, an occasion intended for the
prayeslll Offering of thanks for the
blessings bestowed; for the fos-
tering care and protection by the
Heavenly Father; FOR bountiful har-
vests; FOR business successes; for
the sacred ties of home and
family ana kindred for the blessings of
government and society and all other
thing, nich go TO make this world
pleasant and hopeful and happy. Such
is the day itself. Founded as it was
way back in the early history of our
furnishing nation by that lit,lc band of
PGritans VINO had sought life and
liberty n IN almost unknown land, the
observance OF that day has spread far
from me sound OF the waves dashing
agains: The rock which became the
cornerstone Of the nation, and down
through the years which have elapsed
since sne day those first prayers of
Thanksgiving and praise wen. up TO the
GOu OF tn9 Pilgrim fathers.
Theirs was a thanksgiving uttered
after the first years harvest had been
gathered; after they had partially estab-
iished themselves and felt prepared to
Withstand the trials which had so vigor-
ously 0eset them; after their religious
faith mad overcome the misgivings Of
the flint neArted and after the first
lncipient sprouts Of freedom and liberty
ha0 developed and blossomed within
their bosoms so strongly that they could
not oc cast out. Under trials and ad.
verse circums stances were they then
living, away from their relatives and
friends, encom passed by hardship and
privatlon which only pilgrim can
know, they were then willing to give
praise and render thanks to Him for the
blessings bestowed upon them
Why then should we not initiate the
example Of these hardy foretathers and
upon this day render thanksgiving for
the blessings which surround us? True,
the past year has been a disastrous one.
