THE Thanksgiving season is with us
again. Thanksgiving, Fourth of July,
Christmas and the bill collector are
the only reliable sure things In this
country, with the possible exception OF
death and taxes. The origin and OBJ
servance of Thanksgiving dates back
to the time when this country was still
in its swaddling clothes, and didn't
have such an extremely large ward
robe at that. There were not so many
people contracting optical affections by
looking for the best of it, those days.
The people could sit down and
figure out what they had to be thank
full for without calling in the assistance
of an expert accountant. 1t is a mat
ter of history that men could trade
horses then without remaining enemies
for life after the deal was closed.
There were many things to be thank
full for then. The father of a family
was luckysif he did MOI return from his
daily toll with his brisket so full Of
arrows that he looked like the fretful
porcupine. frequently men had their
systems filed with lead by the more
advanced red brethren, who are gen.
orally referred to as $40, the poor
Indian" The 10 family is not SO
umerou now as 1t used to be. In
fact. the Los have been pushed back
further and further until they are
beginning to feel as If they must go to
work, as all Of them cannot travel with
patent medicine companies.

SAFE OPENING AN ART.

Overcnme Them.

An Expert Who Met Many Obstacles end
Overcame Them.
Opening refractory vaults, safes and
burglar proof chests is science in itself
and Is surrounded by the utmost secrecy
by those who make u living out of it.
In talk to the Chicago Post Il man who
has been i'll the business 40 years said:
Tho essential qualification which a
successful safo opener must possess is an
Intimate and instructive knowledge of
the mechanism and workings of every
variety of combination lock. Ho must
be born to the profession and possess
acute mechanical perception.
Nearly every obstinate safe which
am called upon to open presents unique
conditions demanding new and individ-
ual treutment The nature of the diff
Guilty must TO correctly diagnosed in ad-
vance or tho lock will remain 'obdurate,
Tor machinery does not move by chance
The biggest bait ever held out to me
came i'll the form Of proposal from q
detective with whom l was we'll ac-
quainted. 1t had been supposed that the
locks made by certain firm of safe
manufacturers were proof against the
manipulutions Of burglars and experts,
but few days before was approached
by tho detective had been called upon
to open one of these safes and had sue
ceedcd. The incident gave rise to much
comment.
AS was sitting alone in my Office
the detective entered and asked mo if |
did not wish to make some money.
replied that l was i'll business for lust
that purpose. He then questioned mo
closely rs to my ability to open the par
ticular kind of lock III question. When
satisfied that 1 was easily able to do SO,
he said:
I'll tell you how you can grab off
500, 600 without the least trouble. Tho
boys know where there is a safe of this
kind which contains 5000, 900 in pa
per currency. 1t is easy to get Mt, and
all you'll have to do IS to walk in, after
they have opened thu way, unlock the
safe, take out 800, 900 and leave the re-
mainder for them. It's tho easiest kind
Of money
by the boys the detective meant a
notorious gang of burglars which had
been conducting series of daring oper-
ations. told the detective that had
been much given to card playing in my
youth, thus acquiring'a strong prefer
enco for lone hand, and that this pre-
objection had become too firmly fixed to
be changed He took tho hint and left

OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.

In Many Respects They Are Doing BETTER
Work Than tho Larger institutions.
There arc few striking facts about
tho small American college," writes
Edward w. Box in The Ladies' Home
journal. Zone striking fact is that GO
per cent of the brainicst Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
arc graduates Of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. 1t is fact also that during the
past ten years the majority of the new
and best methods Of learning have en-
anated from tho smaller colleges and
have been adopted later by the larger
ones. Because college happens to bo
unknown 900 miles from the place of
its location does not always mean that
tho college is not worthy of wider re-
pute. Tho fact cannot be disputed that
the most direct teaching and ncces-
sarily the teaching most productive of
good results is being done in tho small
er American colleges.
Tho names Of these colleges may not
be familiar to the majority of people,
but that makes them none tho less wor-
thy places of learning. Tho larger col
legcs arc unquestionably good but
there are smaller colleges just as good
and i'll some respects better Some of
the finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
lions of learning. Young girls or young
men who arc being educated at one of
the smaller colleges need never feel
that the fact of tho college being Il
small ono places them Mt disadvantage
i'll comparison with the friend or com
panlon who has been sent to Il larger
and better known college. 1t is not the
college; it is tho student"
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-09-03

The other day pupil in ono of tho
public schools asked the teacher to do a
little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be simple
problem has had the serious considera-
ton OF all tho pedagogues in tho com
munity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule III grammar
to cover the point raised. Tho young
ster's proposition was this:
1t IS two miles to WoOdfords. Now,
please write under that sentence,
There arc two twos i'll tho above sen
tepce.
That is what tho boy said. He did
not submit tho problem in writing, and
when the teacher tried to follow his
injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned OH her that there were
not two twos, mother were there two
tos, and how to express i'll writing what
was easy enough to do verbally she as
certained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for tho foregoing
must be near relative to tho youth
who asked his teacher how to spell
paris green, and when she replied,
Par par, is, paris, green, green;
paris green, retorted:
mo; you wrong You can't spell
paris green, or blue, or any other color.
You can't spell it anything but paris. "

Saved Her Sons From CONSUMPTION, but
Changed tho Family Name.
A gentleman living in Boston told an
interesting story the other day about
how some of his blood relatives hap
pened to have family name different
from his own. 1t seems that during tho
prosecutions in Scotland these particu-
lar Kirkpntricks went over to Ireland
and settled in Belfast. Subsequently the
head Of the family came across the
ocean and as soon as he was established
sent for his wife to join him, bringing
with her their four sons, two of whom
wero old enough to make stripping SOL
diers had some exigency demanded such
sacrifice. The journey was undertaken
i'll slow going ship bound for New
York, and while she was somewhere in
mid-Atlantio the war Of 1919 between
England and tho United States broke
out.
The ship when nearing our seaboard
was overtal1en by n British cruiser,
which put her about and escorted her to
Halifax, Nova Scotia Tho officer in
command Of the cruiser declared his in
tention Of impressing sailors and SOL
diers from among the passengers. A
mother having more than two SONS
would have to give up all over that
number who might be available for
military or naval service. Mrs Kirk
patrick, who was quick witted wom-
an, instantly planned a russo which sho
justified i'll her own mind by calling it
ruse do gucrrc Ga trick of war; She
stood two SONS in one part of tho ship
and two in another and was accepted,
without detection, rs the mother of both
pairs, though she called herself Kinli-
patrick in ono instance and Fitzpatrick
i'll tho other.

of III the United states, but oven after
peace was restored the two Kirkpatrick,
boys found it much harder to get their
namo back than it had been to exchange
it on shipboard. III fact, they never got
it back.
Those who had como to know them
as Kilpatricks refused to know them as
kirkpatricks, and in tho course of time
the effort to reclaim the family namo
was abandoned as hopeless. Tho varia-
