THERE in this present "vale of tears great
many men who when misfortune overtakes them,
put the blame to this or that, the drink habit for
instance without giving thought to that power
and function within them which is the prime cause
of the effect It is a matter of common experience
natural to all to ascribe shortcomings and fail
ngs to others; phase of selfshness it were and
only by diligent study and effort by submission
to the wise dictator conscience is this defect to be
overcome.
We are the creators of our own conditions, the
dctators of our own destinies and despite all that
is said of the influence of environment of birth and
station in life, to will power must finally
concede the blame.
Will power is such that every may possess
who is willing to cultivate it. Il will make man
of myself and if I succeed in that l shall succeed
in everything else,' said Garfield. That is the
thought that should find Judgement in the mind of
every By what other thought could Columbus
ever have been induced to brave the perils incident
to his historial voyage? Washington at Valley
Forge, Lincoln during the Civil War; Hobson and
Dewey were all votaries to this trait.
There is excuse for not cultivating will

quires special effort and determination to succeed.

relates correspondent in the New

1t was on Thanksgiving morn
ing. The family we're all CON-
fortably seated about the breakfast
table. Indeed we were all very
happy, for we had planned an ex-
tensive program for the day,
and as the weather was fine we had
nothing to mar our holiday out
ing. Besides our family there was
seated at the breakfast table a
Canadian Frenchman, who had
happened along the day before
and being it was late in the even
ing he applied for a nights lodging
and breakfast, which was given MIN.
After the breakfast was over and
as we sat about the table chatter
ing, the question arose, what is the
best way to kill the Thanksgiving
turkey. Well there were num-
Der of ways explained and finally
after all had given their views
upon the subject except our French
friend, | concluded to ask him
what he had to say.
"Wall," says he, 81 am never
get only wan turkey in ma life"
[ saw Frenchy turn red in the
face and [ suspected there was
good story behind that one turkey,
so l urged him to tell it, and here
it is:
''She was long tam go, bout two

Now being that Frenchy had
had some experience in catching
turkeys before we concluded to let
him perform that duty; this he did
in reasonably short time.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

THANKSGIVING DAY has a character peculiarly
it's own. 1t is the one holiday which the national
government sets apart and most solemnly, for to
recognize dependence upon the Almighty Oliver
of all gifts It differs from Christmas in that it is
purely national holiday 1t is unlike the Fourth of
July principally in that thankfuness is largely
accredited and bestowed to Supreme Being.
The custom originated with the Purtans about
the year 1923. These colonsts were threatened
through long period of drought with every ndica-
ton of immediate famine which fortunately, was
averted just if in response to their prayers by the
coming of rain. Heaven had blessed their harvest,
they believed and they desired to show their appre-
citation. For four days, from Thursday till Sunday,
inclusive, these colonists devoted themselves to
prayer and feasting Since then with few exceptions
it became yearly custom after the harvest to set
apart day to prayer and jollifcaton, celebration
which soon was given recognition in every state in
the union.
To William Bradford, the first governor of the
New England colonies, we are indebted and to him
is the honor of initiating the custom followed by
our presidents in issuing the yearly proclamation.
During Washington's ncumbency in Office he issued
two national Thanksgiving proclamations in
1889 and the other in 1895. Madison issued such a
proclamation in 1915, after the with Great Brit
ain. Since 1862 we have had national Thanksgiv-
ing Day every year. and the governors of the states
as rule, likewise followed the precedent of the
ton by also issuing proclamation to the same
effect.
The days appointed for the purpose by the
early presidents also made occasions for render
ing thanks to God for the cessation of war or for
some signal triumph in battle
Thanksgiving Day has long been observed on
Thursday, for the evident reason that mid-week
festival convenient in primitive times,
since it enabled the members of separated families
to journey considerable distances and return home
without invading the sanctity of Sunday, import
ant consideration to the Pilgrims and no cause for
change has since arisen.
The chief feature of this annual festival now is
to bring about the reunion of scattered households
Being migratory people, this holiday to a
worthy purpose, in that it causes and creates de-
sire for the reunion of the family bringing father
mother kith and kin again around the old freside
and for day at least to enjoy the company those
most dear Memories of the Thanksgiving days in
the dear old home when we were all together we
will always cherish No other day in the whole year
is such family day as the annual Thanksgiving.
Fortunate indeed those who still 60 home
to the old homestead and gather around the table
where father and mother glorfy it with their pres
ence.

MUCH Of the misery and discomfort that posses
ses is of his own making. Be amiable, begin
your daily task with the resolution that if any mis-
hap should perchance befa you, you will not aggra-
vate it's consequence by imposing worry upon your
self. Exert yourself to be pleasant and it will
greatly tend to raise your spirits and peace of mind

"'Would it disturb you if I

comb from his hair and looking

Seeing us staring at him, he
dropped his comb into his hair

matter of fact, he was about ready.
He put down the comb, put on
his coat and hat, and picked up
his overcoat.
CHOW I'm ready, gentlemen

had now been closed up by fire.

The Chinese question continues to be the theme
of public sentiment. AS yet change in the policy
of our government toward the Chinese is contem-
plated is it probable that we shall take part in
any partition of the empire. If Germany aud Eng
land determine to cut up China and divide it among
the powers the United States will take no part fur
Their than to equal opportunities and privileges
for trade.
The important question now pending is as to
whether report from the powers be sent to the
Chinese an ultimatum. To this course the powers
disagree United States, France and Russia seek to
settle the matter by conservative method and
avoid the possibility Of war; while Great Britain and
Germany argue in favor Of summary action. Should
the difficulty end in with the Chinese it is not
probable that the United States will take part

representatives including DR.. Leyds and Messrs.
Fischer and Vessels have arrived at Marseilles and
were met by an immense crowd. From the landing
stage to the hotel they were greeted by continual
stream of people who were loud and enthusiastic in
their cheers of welcome.
Mr. Kruger greatly pleased with the warm
reception he received. Replying to addresses of
welcome by the president and others, he also took
occasion to deny the assertion of England that the
Beers vanquished. Il have fought with saw
ages added Mr.. Kruger 'but the present is even
worse. We will never surrender"

British suffer in the guerilla warfare being pur-
sued by the Beers quite large, while the Beers
seem to hold their in every attack.
