Weather Man Promises Good Breeze

New York, oct. MONDAY was a
foggy day around the Horseshoe.
Everything was quiet on fleet there ex-
cept the decks Of the Columbia. where
the crew was cutting and reftting sails.
This is taken ID yachting circles to in
dictate nervotsness. The reason for
making changes is that the English

Off was set, the Shamrock was in the

worse than on even terms. Add to
this her time allowance Of six seconds

CHARACTER READING.
How an Observing Person May Tell
Something of His NeighbOr's
Disposition.

If all the signs that are talked of and
published whereby character may be
read and studied should be mastered,
nearly everyone would become an adept
in discerning that which is apparently
hidden in human nature.
One of the singular things given as
a means of judging character Is the
manner of ringing a doorbell. 1t is
said that a person will pull every bell
in nearly uniform way, which will
not tell the color of eyes or hair, but
win speak of the quality of temper
which the puller of the bell may be ex-
pected to show. 1t will tell whether
he is phlegmatic or nervous in manner,
whether he is amiable or irritable, i'm
patient and intolerant, or calm and rea-
sonable. The mere jerk of the knob
gives evidence for or against in the
mind of discriminating person.
The electric bell cannot tell SO many
tales, it is said, but when time has
given it chance to become more indi-
vidual than it now is, the touching of
the little button will indicate as many
grades of disposition as the jingling of
the bell wire now does.
Another thing that indicates char
acter is the gait at which a person
walks. The manner in which he will
step about is also to be taken into ac-
count in passing judgment on anyone.
A careless, slovenly walk will show a
corresponding carelessness in manner
and dress. Nothing reveals the incli-
nation to laziness more certainly than
the walk.
An uneven step will as certainly dis
close a vacillating mind and behavior
to correspond. Everyone knows the
trial it is to household when one of
its members walks with sharp, punctu-
ating digs of the heels at every step.
These people always step quickly, SO
that the sound of their walking is like
a great tattoo, and acts on nervous peo-
pie with disastrous consequences.
Those who have made a study of the
subject say that men are quite as care
less as women in their manner of walk
ing. A graceful carriage and a good
walk, If dependent upon the character,
is, according to that rule, not to be
cultivated. but must be, as it were, to
the manor born. a heavy tread set
down by person who throws himself
well back may indicate excessive pride
or trife of Incidence, with really good
nature at heart.
The sprightly sort Of people who can
not refrain from skipping as they walk
may be set down as amiable and bright,
but are somewhat Of trial from over
A good deal has been said in novels
against the woman who moves with
a ''catlike tread" that is, without noise.
Such step is, however, considered
most desirable. and it is declared that
It does not indicate treacherous ma
ture, but as often as not has been cuI-
Livated to prevent giving distress to
sick people or drawing undue attention
to the owner of the feet.-N. Y. Trib-
lne.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Tomorrow, November 3Oth, il
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day is a day set apar
by this government for universe
thanksgiving throughout the United
States. 1t is strictly home festiv
ity, though other countries have day
set apart for praise and feastint
which are similar to this.
Thanksgiving day is supposed t.
be the last day of harvest, or rather
the day when the seasons work il
ended, and when the laborers car
give thanks for the fruits of the past
season.
This country has the Pilgrim
fathers to thank for this great day
The Puritans landed at Plymouth in
the midst of a vigorous New England
winter. 1t is difficult to conceive the
horrors of that year of our forefathers
on strange soil. The winter was the
severest that they had known, and
the sturdy Englishmen had no food
to bring to his wife and children in
his rude cabin, which lie had hastily
constructed on their arrival, but what
his trusty rife killed in the dark pine
forests. Added to these horrors was
sickness, and when spring came over
half of that little band was dead.
The summer was better, but they
still had to fight want. When fall
arrived they had good snug log cab
ms to live in, furs to keep them warm
through the winter and enough food
to permit them to live with economy
through the winter. The Pilgrims
were likewise in good health and
spirits, and the joy in their hearts
that they had conquered the wilder
ness, overlooked in universal thanks
giving to the good Father who had
given them those blessings.
1t is not known who was the
father of Thanksgiving day. 1t is
likely, as above stated, that it was
the natural outpourings Of all the
Pilgrim Fathers. Governor Brad
ford, of the Plymouth colony, APP
pointed the day for public praise and
prayer. This was in 1921. The
observance OF this day spread to the
other England colonies, and during
the war for independence was intro
duced in several of the middle states.
Since then it has extended to nearly
all the states. In 1868 it was made
a national institution. The day,
which is usually the fourth Thursday
in November, is designated by a
proclamation, signed by the governor
or president.
Everyone knows in what manner
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated-at
least the festivities connected with it.
When mention is made of this day
visions always come up before ones
eye of host of good things to eat,
in the midst of which is turkey,
cranberry sauce and mince pie.
These three delicacies are always
visible.

In the forenoon of life, says the
Orange Observer, man has an idea
that it would take mighty big
church to hold his friends, if they
should be drawn to the sanctuary at
the same time. but ere the dentist
has put 10 his second set of teeth he
has about come to the conclusion
that one Of the short pews near the
stove would not be crowded if they
should all sit down together to warm
their feet.
