THANKSGIVING.

To the popular mind tho word
Thanksgiving" stands for = day OF
festivity. But they who lose It's sub
iective meaning In mere creature en-
joyment suffer misfortune and miss
an opportunity.
To our fathers. Thanksgiving was a
sacrament. 1t was one of their acts
of religion to set apart for It an an
nual day. Heaven had blessed their
harvests, and they wished to express
In special way appreciation of Its
favors.
Nothing In their example was more
sane and sensible than the creation Of
this November family custom, now be-
come national. There have been
changes Of our social life since the
old time. These have made 1t less easy
to observe the day SO generally with
public rites of worship. but the ordi
nance holds its place with pleasing flt-
ness. and with ample reason.
We have thousandfold more to be
devoutly glad for than our fathers
had; and the feeling and the faith
they carried with them to the Solemn
assembly" we can radiate In brighter
homes and wider activities Of kind
ness.
The unfolding Christian age has
given us the larger thought OF the
meaning and mission of freedom and
of civilization: the grander type and
idea of bensvolence: the tenderer be.
liefs that sweeten life and death with
hope, For all these let us thank God.
Gratitude is not only "a natural
function of the healthy SOUL; 1t is
Its wealth. Invest 1t. Its interest will
enrich the character. and uplift the
whole life.

Seated by the glowing embers In the
gloomy old firelit hall, watching the
flame retreat, advance, flare up In
splendor. and then die into dull
glow, was Jack Long. Thirty-hve
years had elapsed since Jack first saw
the light of day, and his life had been
as full of joy and misery. of light and
shadows, as the ordinary life OF man
kind.
Typical of the ever-burning glow
was love within has heart which ten
years had not smothered.
, Like the fire flame leaping high and
sinking low. was the hope in his
breast.
As Jack sat there alone, gazing into
the fire, thoughts Of bygone days came
over him, trooping at his memory's
call.

He lived to return to America, was
honorably discharged, and resolved to
pass another Thanksgiving In the old
neighborhood where his young days
had been spent. So he returned, after
an absence of nearly ten years. and
was at the house of his rather on this
evening, gazing sadly into the fire
which seemed to reflect his own ach-
ing heart.
What was life to him now?
That chief charm, that only light
to his soul, had gone out, leaving all
gloom and darkness.
He was like an old man.
His hair, once dark as the ravens
wing, showed traces of silver In 1t,
and his face, SO handsome. clear and
fresh, now had the lines of care upon
1t.
Though he sometimes smiled and as
sumed an appearance OF gayety his
mother knew that his heart was sad.
But that mother had hope that
happiness would yet dawn on her son.
She had a piece Of intelligence she
had not broken to him. Queenie Gra-
ham, after an absence Of ten years,
had returned to visit an aunt.
There was to be great Thanksgiv-
ing party at sack's grandmothers, the
Oldest lady in the neighborhood, at
which she was to invite all the young
folks, for Grandma Goodwin" took

and she determined that Jack should
meet her. The mother knew that her
sons pride would keep him away II
he knew Queenie vas to be there, SO
she kept that surprise a secret from
him.
She little knew how love had hum
bled Jacks pride.
In the vest pocket of the veteran, he
carried the self same ring which
Queenie had thrust back on him ten
years before. 1t was next his heart
when he stormed San Juan hill. and
he hoped II he was slain the bullet
would pass within the golden circle
of his youthful love. and that he might
die with her name on his lips
But fate destined Jack to live. He
was once more home, among friends
who had crowded about to hear him
tell OF the wild charge and the storm
OF death.
Would he go to grandmother's next
day to the Thanksgiving dinner! Yes,
he would.
The mother was happy.
The old carriage was loaded with
jolly young folks and middle-aged peo-
pie. and among them the veteran of
San Juan:

But what was far more precious to
the ex-rough rider was a radiant face
he had loved so long before.
He thought she had suffered as well
as he. They were too much surprised
at meeting that neither would tell
what emotions were being stirred In
the others heart.
Queenic's beauty was matured and
seemed more heightened by time. She
was far more lovely than before. Aft
er the first moments shock OF surprise
pride assumed control. and placed each
other on the guard.
They longed to break the Ice, but
neither wanted to make the advance.
After the feasting was over the

parlor to talk over pleasant reminis-

He was about to speak when tho

Gents to places-all promenade"
1t gave him an opportunity to re-
cover himself. and when next they
glided across the room he whispered:
Say, Queenie, will you keep that old
promise you made long ago?"
She looked up at him, smiling
through her tears.
Ten years Of misery and suffering
had passed since he held that hand.
Oh, 1t was reward for all that suffer-
ing!
"Queenie, have 1t yet" he whis-
pered, taking from his vest pocket the
betrothal ring which he had carried
all these ears.

Punctuation.

The use of the comma In punctua-
tion is one about which there is a
great difference of opinion, but the
better method is to omit the comma,
except in those cases where its inser-
ton would prevent ambiguity. The
general rule In sentence like man
ufacturers of crackers candy and mac
aroni," is to place comma after
crackers" and avoid a comma before
and" The fact that one grammar
says that In such a sentence there
ought to- be comma before the word
"and" Is no proof OF Its correctness.
as there are any number OF grammars
and works on punctuation that hold
the other way. II any number OF VOL
umes are examined with reference to
placing comma before "and" when
three or more words placed before In
the same category are connected there
