Let Thanksgiving day be n thankB

disposed to make 1t q day for putting

church to hear about national badness
and national dangers; to read from
the Lamentations and sing in mino,
strain. That is not well. 1t Is nil
right to be reminded OF our nation'i
sins and perils. We should face these
problems often and earnestly study
methods Of reform. But a 1hanksgiv.
ing service is hardly the place to do it.
Let us rather spend the hour In re.

is u model document and strikes . key
upon which we may sing hundred
songs of heartfelt praise. For ma.

for marvellous growth in material sub

James Smithers. an English resi-

hunting with a party OF visitors from
the old country recently. met with u
singnla adventure. which also led to
as singular discovery. A band OF
moose, the first seen this far south
for many years, had been driven
down by the scouts OF the expedition.
and lit was while in full chase OF
these that the others swept on. leav-
ing Smithers to follow. Wishing to
ovcrtake them as quickly rs possible
he took IA short cut across the coun-
try and was astonishcd all at once to
find himself sinking. He fell about
six feet. but owing to tho descent OF
the loose earth with him sustained
no injury. He was amazed to find
the bottom of the pit composed OF
solid Ice OF brnclsish taste. and
evidently Of untold age. Walking
about the pit Smithcrs made out an
object protruding from the icy foun-
dation and. with his short hunt
ing AK, cut away tho sur
rounding material until he saw
that the object was human
hand holding spear. Further exca.
walton revealed the entire figure OF q
man clad in fur garments and per-
fectly preserved by his cold bed.
Near ut hand were also tho romans
OF deer. which the hunter had doubt
lessly lost his life in pursuing to this
trcacherous spot Tho frozen man
was an Indian OF noble build and
wore chiefs amulet about his Nook.
That he died by cold was to be
plainly seen by his expression, which
WAS the placid one Of persons who
die thus. The skin OF his face and
hands was drawn like parchment.
but that protected by his clothing
WAS firm and natural as II death had
come within the hour. Whom found

TO reinter the corpse in order to pre-.

wasted away in rapid dissolution. 1t
