Thanksgiving.

A tear or two, prayer or two,
For the dead that have gone before us;
Pure thoughts that stray from the world
away
To the sweet heaven bending Ger us.
Strong hopes that thrill with noble will,
For the work that may choose and call
us;
Deep soul-content, that but good is meant
In whatever may befall US.
A Song, smile, and pulse the while
That throDs with the joy of living;
A kiss or so from dear lips, and 10!
This is the hearts thanksgiving.

Home Companion.

Snow in the oaks and beeches nesting,
And Jack Frost whistles through the day,
And the shy quails echo his roundelay,
For the world is gay and the woods are

Shall check the joy of the pulse that

When winter is king of the wales and hills,
And the wildwood speaks with heart

DEPENDS UPON THEMSELVES.
Chairman RRbc0ck Says That the Re.
publicans Can Win.


Chairman Babcock and Representative
Hull OF the republican congressional COM
mittee were in Washington today IN confer
ence with Representative Loudenslager who
Is in charge Of eastern headquarters. Mr..
Babcock and Mr.. Hull have recently been
in Philadelphia and New York. consulting
the party managers about conditions in the
east.
Mr.. BabcOck had nothing to add to the
interview he gave out in New York day
or two ago and published in The Star. The
contest for control of the next House of
Representatives will be close one, he said
ard the victory Is not vet In sight.
There has been practically no change in
conditions since he was here a few weeks
ago and described at length in an interview
In The Star the situation in the country at
large.
The committee has been devoting its eff
forts to awakening republicans from the
condition of apathy which they manifested,
and to convince voters of the republican
claim that the best interests OF the whole
country demanded the election Of 8 repub-
lican House.
Mr.. Babcock thinks that while the re-
publicans are not yet out of the woods, they
will win. The result depends upon the
amount of enthusiasm which republicans
put into the campaign and the extent of
the assistance which they render the con-
gressionaf committee In its work.
