THANKSGIVING.

To- Jay in obedience to the
proclamation at the President
md Governors. the people of this
grear country observe as a day
of,Aanksgiving for the benefits
and mercies we have received as
nation aud as individuals,
which is proper and right.
1--we think a moment there
are many things the American
people ure favored with, which
no other country possesses, and
with good crops and the gradual
uplifting of the financial depres~
sion, there is cause tor thanks
aud much to hope for.

energy which he possesses and an
enthusiasm which is contagious. He
never does anything in a perfunctory
way.
He possesses great vitality and Is a
most tircless worker. During the
four political campaigns in which he
was Chairmen OF the State Commit
tee, be not only planned and directed
those campaigns, attending to all the
details at headquarters, but he took
part with other speakers on the
stump and carried his share of the
burden. However exhausted he
may have been, he never allowed
trace OF il TO show in look or word
or act. He was an inspiration to
others and, in the zeal which he In
spired, he must have found his re.
cuperatiOn. His knowledge of men
and remembrance Of faces and
names is a great gift. Probably no
man in the State can call more men
by name, locate them, and recall to
them some pleasant personal or po-
htcal experience thsR he.
Nor is he now ABOVE doing those
little services which in IN early life
made for hIm lasting friendships q
mong his neighbOrs. Nothing to him
is trihing if it concerns the welfare of
friend. 1t is the kindly interest in
: what pertains to the welfare of those
about him which has secured to him
the warm attachment Of the people
of his State.
If Senator Gallinger we're lacking
IL any of these, he would not be, as
he is now, the central figure in New
Hampshire politics. He has no
wealth to distribute in largess to
his followers. Generosity to family
and friends has prevented more than
the most moderate of Accommodations,
Long service of the public has de-
MED to him opportunities open to
men in private life.

>-t Shall a Young Man Dor

From the Elijay, Ga, sSnuoe!'
We fear that there is a growing impress
sion among our young men that 1t Is more
honorable to keep books or stand behind
the counter and sell goods than 1t Is to
plow: that there Is more honor in reading
law than there is in hammering on an
anvil in a blacksmith shop; that the man
who wears blue overalls and works in a
machine shop occupies lower position in
the world than the man who wears a white
shirt and patent leather shoes every day.
Ills is a very great blunder and has, We
fear, turned the heads of great many
young men. No doubt good plow boys
have been spoiled by young men imagining
that 1t was more honorable to practice law
or sell goods than to turn over soil or shove
the plane. The blame is not always on the
young man. either; parents are often at
fault In this matter. They let it out early
in the life of the children that William and
John must select easy places in the world.
They must not have the drudgery of farm
life, and must avoid the hard work of the
Me chanic. II is a profession, a situation as
salesman OF bookkeeper or some calling
for which mayhap the boy is totally un-
fitted. All work is honorable il it is hon
est and right.

GOOD NIGHT.
Or How Pocnhontas Bnde Farewell to
Reginald.

From the Cleveland Leader
reginald Hanscomb stopped in the hall
and nervously fumbled at the rim of his
hat, meanwhile gazing into Pocahontas
Poindexters eyes with a fondness that the
beautiful girl could not mistake.
He opened his lips as If about to speak
but the words that he sought to utter would
not come, and the fair maiden gave a low
heart with bowholes
Yet he stood there, and she stood In
front CT him, looking. and longing, and
wondering why he hesitated
once she WIS almost tempted TO take him
back into the parlor and tell him that IL
was all right: that she knew how he felt
about ii. and that she would just take it for
granted without the usual formalty. But
her maiden modesty rose in rebellion and
she said to herself:
NO; If he is too timid, too cowardly to
say the words. 1t will perhaps be better for
us both If We take diverging ways"
Then speaking aloud, she said:
We'll. good night, Mr.. Hanscomb if you
must be going"
We'll. good night" he said; II guess I
must be going"
We'll. good night" She said again, hold
Ing the door open for him.
We'll good night" he said passing out
through the vestibule.
She shut the door with a bang and sat
down upon the stairway, and buried her
face in her hands and sobbed.
But half minute later she heard him
returning. Her heart gave a glad leap and
she rushed to the door TO admit him.
He stood looking down into her sweet
expectant face for moment after the door
had swung back, and then, clearing his
throat, he said:
Some pesky kid pune tured my tire while
i was inside. l wonder if l could borrow
your mending outfit for about two min.
utes?'
NO she replied; my repairing outfit is
! up in the attic, and can't find it tonight

Then she slammed the door In his face
and he tried to think-poor fool-as HI

SHORT STORIES.

A package came west from Indiana
where Grandmother lived when she
was little girl. The family were sur
prised that it should be addressed to
Grandmother herself. Who could it be
from? There was nobody in Indiana
that they knew except GrandmotEers
sister. 1t must be from her
But Grandmother was too nervous to
have them all 60 up to her room and
watch her while she opened the box.
So they waited impatiently at the foot
Of the stairs and let Ethel carry the
box up.
She opened the door eSgerly aid
dumped her burden down in Grand
mothers lap.
Its come, for you, something she
urged breathlessly ard brought the
scissors while Grandmother's glasses
were adjusted TREMENDOUSLY.
Ethel's brisk little fingers shipped the
string and tore away the papers. Then
she emptied out into Grandmother
lap heap of delicate petals and leaves,
Indiana wildfowere, packed tenderly in
soft moss She put out her hand
eagerly over the flowers and felt some
thing hot splash down on the top Of her
thumb. She looked up in diemay.
