GIVE THANKS.

Americans have their faults, but In.
gratitude is not one of them. We who
live in cities are apt often times to be-
come Indifferent and cynical in our
view OF life. We are apt to lay too
much stress on our acts themselves
and not enough on the spirit that
prompts them. The vast majority OF
the people plain. farmers and dwellers
in small towns, have wider spiritual
horizon, aud see beyond the end OF the
street on which they live. At such a
season as this something stirs within
them, and they are moved to ponder on
the things that are, and to express
their gratitude where that is due.
There remains among us yet large
degree of the old puritan simplicity OF
religious belief, and the rugged and
strong SIN God We Trust" on the
back of all of our coins, has still
hearty ring to it, howbeit 1t has diff
ferent meaning to every Individual.
We may try to rebel sometimes, and
break away in our petty independence
from the universal rule, but there is
feeling within almost all of US that,
call it by what name we will, there is
q guiding and directing spirit in the
universe, spirit to which we
Americans, as q nation, somehow owe
gratitude. Thus Thanksgiving day
has q perpetual reason for being.
This feeling expresses itself in diff
ferent ways. It is.not at all necessary
to enter into q discussion of religious
belief, or to touch upon the matters
that are within the distinctive pro-
vince of the churches. Considered In
it's purely secular aspect, Thanks
giving Day has a use which will, let US
hope, slways set aside this brief season
as time when men shall cease from
toll and engage in reflection.
Every shrewd business man VIII al
ways make his calculations little less
than he has q right to expect.
He will always keep on the cafe side,
and If the result is more favorable he
is grateful, while If his calculations
are not exceeded, he is not disappoint-
ed. In life it is the same. We school
ourselves to expect a little less than
we hope for. We keep within the
bounds. and to save possible disap-
pointment we think and act. upon a
narrow margin of expectation.
But there comes each year a great
settling day. The clearing house
machinery is set in motion. We bring
out all our account books and find out
how Wa stand Almost inyariahlu we
find that our increase-as individuals
families, communities, nations-has
been greater than was anticipated.
Tbenscomes our Thanksgiving Day.
1t is our day of reckoning and a new
start.
We have indeed reason to feel tn at
the Great Spirit has peculiarly blessed
us this year. The harvests are the
richest for many years. Victory has

THE Louisville Courier-Journal de-
clares there is good reason to believe
that the plug tobacco combine has seen
it's best days. Louisville has one large
factory, just established with abundant
capital, and twenty or more small ones,
all active competitors of the trust. An
immense antitrust concern will begin
operations, in St. Louis with the new
year and two smaller ones are about
ready for business. All these estab-
lishments are laying in large stocks of
leaf and are making glad the hearts OF
Kentucky tobacco planters, who had
abo ut concluded to curtail their pro-
duct because of their fear that the
trust would hammer prices down to an
Improbable basis. Tobacco growers
will be greatly benefited by the estab
lishment of Independent plants and
have promised to help them in all pos
sible ways. They have signified their
intention of refusing to cell to tho
country agents of the trust, but will
ship their crops to the auction mar
kets, where there will be Independent
buyers. The tobacco growers of Tex
as, it is said, are considering the adj

LIFE is REAL

MEN whose only knowledge of the
sdven turous life of the world is gained
from books have little conception of
what it means to take an active part in
winning from the earth its treasures.
Eastern people who sit at desks all day
end at night read Wister or Reming-
ton or Kipling or Dumas little think
that out here on our broad plains ami
in our rugged mountains the daily life
of our people would make the fiction OF
those men seem tame by COMPARE
son.
The HERALD is proud that it has
been able to gather 80 able corps OF
special correspondents. Most OF them
are quick and ready news, gatherers
aud writer's, and the reader who fol-
low their letters closely will nearly
every day come upon some new Phase
of the fresh and breezy and plctur-
esuue life of the west, sometimes
amusing, sometimes deeply thrill
ing.
OF the latter sort is letter that was
printed in yesterdays HERALD, from
our Separ, New Mexico, correspond
ent. Told as commonplace tale OF
not extraordinary adventure. the story
vet has the elements of a thrilling
narrative, ana is striking for that very
elemental character. The story, as
written, follows:
SEPAR, N. NJ, Nov. 25.-L. B. Mi
lam, cow boy in the employ OF the
Victoria Land and Cattle CO., met
with q most serious and painful &C
cident near the Mexican line on the
afternoon of the 23rd. BE was sink
inc a we'll and upon coming to the sur
face observed large grey wolf at
some distance from him. He had
crept to within short distance OF the
wolf and in endeavOring to draw his
six shooter the hammer in some man
ner was released and the weapon dis
charged, the bullet striking him In the
thigh, shsttering the bone and lodg-
ing near the knee.
Being alone at the time of the acct
dent Milan was compelled to abandon
his weapon and coat in order to drag
himself along in q backward direction
in an attempt to reach a road where
he was in hopes some one would pass
and render him assistance. At the
approach of night the wolves became
bold aud caused him great alarm lest
they should attack him. The whole OF
the night was passed in dragging him
self around to keep from freezing and
to keep the wolves away.
A chance hunter found him next
morning in nearly exhausted con-
dition faint from loss of blood and his
exertions during the night. A mes
senger was at once dispatched for as
sistance and the wounded man was
brought in. A doctor having been sent
for met him on the road and rendered
what aid was possible.
Under the conditions it Is wonder
full what fortitude was displayed. The
sufferer has been removed to the hos
pital at Deming. The nature OF the
wound and exposure make it q very
serious case.
A simple narrative. quietly told, and
yet in the hands of Dumas there
might be made of it q story of i'm
perishable fiber, worldwide in interest,
human and heroic. Yet it is only an
incident in the daily life of the west.
Yes, life is real. and the men of the
west, to quote Kipling, are "doing
things, always doing things."
