CAUSES FOR THANKFuLNEss.

All those who recognize in any manner
an Overruling Power cannot fail to realize
when they contemplate life that they have
something for which they should be thank
full Even those who claim that what they
have more than others IS due to their pru-
dence, foresight and self-denial must when
they think of it, suspect that the qualities
which make their situation more favorable
than others are the best gifts of Provi-
dence.
As q people. though constitutional grum-
blers, we have more to be thankful for than
has any other. Life in the same sphere is
more abundant. Whole masses of people in
Europe barely subsist upon the coarsest
and most unpalatabIe food Compared with
the whole, the number of persons in want
of decent food is insignificant. In all States
like Indiana food is abundant. The same is
true of other necessaries of life. Admitting
an overruling hand in the affairs of nations.
our better condition should be cause for
sense of thankfulness.
At the present time we need not dwell
upon generalities to find cause for thanks
giving. In this country we have special
cause for thankfulness which we did not
have a year ago. Tens of thousands of men
and women who were without regular en-
ployment a year ago now have it. The ar
mics of enforced idleness have been grad
ually absorbed by the revived industries of
the land. In thousands of homes there is
abundance and the content which it brings,
where, a year ago, want and anxiety were
uEbidden guests. Many are not better off
than year ago, but the fact that many
thousands who We're badly off year ago
can enjoy thanksgiving to-day is greater
cause for a feeling of thankfulness by all
thoughtful and well-disposed people.
There seems to be one thing which is
cause for special thankfulness, and that is
the discovery that during the hard times
of past years the people were not so dis
tressed and in so hopeless a condition as
they had been led by professional dema-
gogues and calamityites to believe they
were We should be thankful for this dis
covery, since, if it should prove salutary
lesson, we shall not again appear as
thankless people

well-to-do widow of Dowagiac, Mich, of the
second part. These two, being of suitable
age. thereunto inclined and legally entitled
to do SO, fell in love. Possibly instead of
falling in love they deliberately walked in.
At all events. they got in love. A tender
correspondence ensued, and they became en-
gagged to be married. The course of true
love ran smoothly enough until in an evil
hour. the mayor began to mix business with
it. Being somewhat of a speculator and
largely in real estate, he sometimes needed
money In one of these emergencies, un-
Fortunately. the idea occurred to him to bor-
of the widow. There is no evidence
that he made any Misrepresentation to her
regarding his business or financial response
bility. In fact, he says expressly that he
did not. II did not make any misrepre-
sentations to her, he says. II told her I
was always hard up and though 1 was
worth about $4,000 / was in debt about
$4,000 The total amount borrowed of her
was $1,000" A great deal less than this
would have been sufficient to bring the love
affair to grief. From this fatal beginning
the business between them continued to in
crease until the mayor actually became the
widows business agent in NoblesvilIe. He
invested her mony for her, and such hor-
rible things as promissory notes, deeds and
mortgages passed between them. OF course,
there could be only one end to this. Love
and business will not mix any more than
powder and fire. The explosion may not
come as soon in one case as in the other,
but it is sure to come. 1t did in this case
Things came to a point when the widow
thought the mayor was cheating her There
is no reason to think that he was but she
thought so. She consulted an attorney, who
encouraged her belief, and no explanation
the mayor could make would convince her
that she was mistaken Widows are often
this way. Of course, this was an end of the
love affair. The engagement was broken
beyond repair, blown all to pieces, as it
were by business, and from having been
prospective husband and wife, the mayor
and the widow have become open enemies.
The case should be a warning to all lovers.
whether mayors or private citizens. maids
or widows. not to mingle business with love.
It is a dangerous mixture.
The Indianapolis journal., 1897-11-25
A DANGEROUS MIXTURE.

1t is pretty we'll established principle
among men that business and pleasure do
not mix well together The principle is en-
bodied in the common saying Business be-
fore pleasure which means that if one
wishes really to enjoy a pleasure he must
first get business off his hands and mind
Another proverb says, Short payments
make long friendships" This is intended
to express the danger of mixing business
with pleasure by loaning or borrowing
money between friends. a practice that has
doubtless broken up thousands of friend
ships which had stood or would have stood
almost everything else. Shakespeare makes
Polonius say to Laertes:
Neither a borrower nor a lender ts;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend
And borrowing dulis the edge of husbandry.
1t is very apt to duh the edge of friend
ship, too And if of friendship how much
more of love. BY as much as love is O.
greater pleasure than friendship. more
spiritual, more ethereal, more sensitive to
disturbing influences, by so much is it more
apt to be marred or destroyed by the inter-
mingllng of business.
These somewhat abstract remarks find a
concrete Illustration in the case of the
mayor of our neighboring city Of Mobiles

Some Things to Be Thankful For.

If YOU cannot think of any other cause
for being thankful, how would one OF these
do?
That YOU were born in the nineteenth GEN.
tury instead of in medieval times.
That you live in a time and under a gov
ernment that secures an equal chance to
every person according to his or her abil-
ity, ambition and desert.
That even if things were as bad as the
croakers represent them they might still
be a great deal worse.
That notwithstanding early predictions
the peach crop this year was not failure,
and there are enough turkeys to go around.
That Bryan was not elected President
last fall and that the advance agent of
prosperity is at the helm.
That business has improved very percept-
IDLY during the last year, with a prospect
of much greater Improvement next year.
That bull-fighting is not a national amuse-
ment and that there is no law requiring
everybody to serve time at football.
That you have been able to lay up enough
to buy your wife a handsome Christmas
present and that she has agreed not to
order one for you to be paid for by your
self.
That while your hair is decidedly grayer
than it was ten years ago there has been
no perceptible change in the last year.
That with little extra exertion you can
still run up stairs two steps at a time.
That fortune still shows a disposition to
meet you half way and that she gives you
all you fairly earn and deserve.
That you were able to wear your fall
wrap quite late into the season.
That you do not own any real estate on
streets that are still unimproved.
That you have been able to unload some
of that you owned on improved streets.
That this is a city of churches, and you
can attend Thanksgiving service to-day if
you want to.
That it is also city of homes, and you
can stay at home if you want to.
That, generally you can do as you please
unless the law or your wife intervenes.
That you are alive.
