''THANK YOU"

1t Is the Small Courtesies That Make Life
Worth Living.
b "On every hand one hears of the neg
:lect to say Thank you, - writes Ed
ward W. Box on 'tThe Saying Of THANK
You,'," in The Ladies Home Journal.
II wonder sometimes if some people
really know how little Of what comes
to them is their due and right and how
much Of what comes to them is by ia
vor and courtesy The vast majority Of
things which come to US come by pure
favor, by courtesy: And we should rec
ognize this. No act of kindness, how.
ever slight, should go unnoticed., A
Thank you is a simple thing to say. It
requires but few moments to write it,
but it often means much. It means ev-
erything sometimes to the person re-
ceiving it. It means renewed faith in
human nature in some cases, A word
Of thanks is never lost, never wasted.
IF it sometimes seems to be lost upon
the person to whom it is directed, it's
expression has not been lost upon some
one else who has heard it. It is certain
~ not lost upon ourselves. The most of
us are quick enough to thank some one
who does us great service But the
small courtesy, Just as great as the
large service in reality, we overlook. It
doesn't seem worth while to give thanks
for small things And yet what would
we be today and where would some of
us be but. for the small courtesies of
life? They are what make life worth
living: ..=e.s. @> ....$ .s..
1T is all very we'll to have the last
Thursday Of each November set apart
as q day Of Thanksgiving, but it would
be FAT better if q great many Of us car
ried the spirit Of the day into all the
other days Perhaps if we did SO we
might have more mercies to be thank
full for on Thanksgiving day. Do not
let the spirit of thanks stop with night
fall on Thanksgiving day: Let us ex-
tend it to all the other days Of the year,
to the people whose lives touch ours
When we receive favor at the hands
Of any one, no matter how small it may
be, let US say the words, THANK you.
If they should be written, let us write
them. Let US not delay them, but take
advantage Of the instant when our heart
is touched. Let there be more THANK
yous' said by everybody-thousand: OF
them. And the world will be better,
brighter and happier place to live in
because of them.''

ELEVEN IAN DS O POKER.

They Ought to Have won Every Time,
but Didn't.
It's the bewildering uncertainties Of
the great game Of poker that make it so
popular with most Americans Systems
and the law Of average do not Seem to
obtain as much in the play of this game
as they do in most other games Of chance
and skill This point never was more
strikingly illustrated than it was one
night not long ago in the short space Of
half an hour.
The game is regular institution on
one Of the late suburban trains out Of
New York. The first stop that is made
by this train is exactly 80 minutes after
the train leaves New York. The game
always starts on time, and the cards are
gathered up and the players jump off
usually as the train begins to get head
way after the first stop.
This explanation is necessary to fully
appreciate the array Of hands that makes
the real point of this story. One player
with a good memory held in the 80
minutes play the following hands, with
these results:
-Four aces-won, Of course.
Five full on aces-beaten. r.
One flush-beaten. ~Hss,E ~
!" One straight-beaten. =.
Three aces beaten. . ..
Four sets Of aces all beaten.
Three seveus-beaten. ...-.5
Queens up-won.
Jacks up-won- " .,.-
|" Tens up-wOn.
Mines up on fours-beaten. ..
In this really remarkable collection
Of II hands only of them were win
ners, and yet the man who held them
says that he came out even. He got
scared on his five full and on his flush
and just called He lost considerable on
his three aces, but he won more on his
queens up that he held only once than
he did on his four aces. His jacks up
Melted him more than any other hand,
for he had them pat and played them SO
on the opening of fat jack pot.
The five full was beaten by ten full
and the flush was beaten by queen
full None Of the other men in the game
thought that his hand was especially
strong or weak, and it would be expect
ed naturally that the array Of hands
given above would quit the game con-
siderably to the good if one did not
know that most Of them were beaten. -

LAST YEARS FAILURES.
They Swept Out Of the Way Great Num-
ber Of Unsound Concerns.

They Swept Out Of the Way . Great Num-
ber of Unsound Concerns.
NEW York, Jan. O. r. q. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
The year 1897 begins with one clear advan-
tage-the past year hos swept out Of the way Q
great number Of unsound concerns which In
any time OF activity would have been danger
GUS to business. OF the 1926 commercial and
banking failures In 1907, with liabilities Of
Ss7Ssi5.7i9, large share represented crippling
losses In previous years. or the violence Of
speculative storms In 1895 or the first half of
1896 while thousands moro resulted from the
fury Of the political tornado last fall Banking
failures amounting to t50.7l89l5 during the
year, averaged u 6,l5e each, and were II, per
cent larger than In 1895
Commercial returns Amounted to oe26 008 63i,
o little over go 0.o0o having been added by
the last day Of the year. but the average lis-
bilities, 3l4902. were smaller than In some
years Of great prosperity.
While banking failures have not ceased at
the west. apprehension about them has almost
wholly subsidized, and no serious influence upon
general trade Is now expected. Many sound
concerns were doubtless caught by the cpl
demic, but practically ali the important fail
ures are traced to disregard OF law and Of
banking sense at periods somewhat distant
1t Is felt at the west that all business will be
the sounder after its purging. and the return
OF money to New York has exceeded shipments
to the interior by $2 000. 900 for the week.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

A Tough Negro Adds Several More Muir.
ders to His Already Bad Record.
MAYEsvILLE, s c., Jan. s.-Simon
Cooper, the negro outlaw. who shot
and killed another negro and wounded
several others at Magnolia few days
ago, and for whom there is a reward
of 500 offered by the governor, added
more murder to his record yesterday
morning near Magnolia. Cooper en-
tered the house Of Ben Wilson about
sunrise and demanded the use of Mr..
Wilson's buggy, which was refused. He
then picked up an ak and split Mr.. Will
sons head open. He attacked Wesley
Wilson, the son, and murdered him in
like manner. Cooper then murdered
Mrs. Wesley Wilson with the same
weapon, after which he struck down q
negro, who had approached on hearing
the noise, and left the ak sticking in
the negro's head. As soon as the news
of the shocking tragedy reached Sum-
ter the sheriff organized a posse, char
tered a special car and came to Mayes-
vile, where reinforcements from this
town and the surrounding country
awaited him. Cooper has not yet been
captured, but it is almost impossible
for him to escape, as the country is be-
ing secured in every direction. II cap
tured, his fate will be q terrible one.

a dangerous condition, one has fully

Physicians have been in constant at

the lives Of at least half, and they have
hopes of seeing all but two of their pa
tients recover. Besides the above, it
is said that at least four more families
have been affected in the same way,
but their cases have not been reported
to either the police or the health de-
partment

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. n.-Thomas
G. Conklin. superintendent OF the local
Office of the Pinkerton National De.
tective agency, committed suicide IN
his private office at Seventh and Main
streets yesterday afternoon by shoot
ing himself through the head. No one
else was in the building until just be-
fore life became extinct The deed had
evidently been planned carefully and
executed with deep purpose. Despon-

and wild dissipation, was undoubtedly
what led to the act.

Georgia Has Law That 10 Driving Them
from That State.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. ga local paper
makes the sensational announcement
that every trust operating in the state
of Georgia has succumbed to the CAL
vim antitrust law enacted by the re-
cent general assembly. As result
of the operation of that measure, the
American Tobacco Co., the potash
trust, the snuff trust, the coffee trust,
the match and other trusts, that have
been operating in Georgia, have mott.
fed jobbers and merchants throughout
the state handling their goods that the
antitrust act made their existing con.
tracts unlawful, and they would,
therefore, no longer be considered by
either party. This throws the long
closed market wide open to competi-
tiOn.

papies have given notice to all agents
doing business in Nebraska that after
this month no packages will be deliv-

freight trains as largely as possible
and practically drive the express COM
panies by the boycott to again have
recourse to the convenient system.

named Fred Foulk v,as attacked and
killed by hogs yesterday In the heavy
imber, about Is mile, northeast Of At

him and chewed him to death. The
hogs had escaped from farmers living
In that locality and were virtually
wild. The surroundings betoken q
hard fight.
