COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says Little relief has been at
torded the leading manufacturing indus
try in the matter of transporting facili-
ties. In fact the situation on the whole
is less satisfactory since inability to Sc
cure coke has brought about the banking
of some furnaces. This in turn tends to
harden the market for pig iron, though
no actual alteration in prices has oc-
cured, except at Philadelphia, where as
cents more ton is readily paid.
"As this industry is considered the
best business barometer, present condi-
tions and future prospects are certainly
most encouraging.
Low temperature in grain growing
States brought higher level of quota
tions, corn rising 23 cents above the
fgure ruling at the corresponding date
last year, and 20 cents over 1900.
Wheat is moving out freely at both
coasts, shipments from the United States
for the week amounting to s,65I,47z
bushels, against 3,2Io,I64 bushels in the
same week OF 1000, and 1897 ,2o3 in 1909.
Vigorous milling and foreign demands
caused fair advance in price TO about

in output
Failures for the week numbered 243
in the United States, against 2o1 last
year. and SO in Canada, against I8 last

earn $50 at a dollar and half a
week."
The days went by, as days will, even
TO lonely old people, and Wednesday
dawned clear and bright. At 10
o'clock Grandpa Decker brought in
the plucked body of the great bronze
turkey, and with eyes little dimmed
by teardrops, his wife bent over the
table preparing it for the oven. In
the midst of her work a familiar step
sounded on the walk and detected
little figure came up to the door, while
the old man sprang from his chair,
saying, Jess! It's Jess come home
for Thanksgiving, after alln'
The pitiful little story was soon
told. Mrs. Howland, rendered irrita-
Bile by over-eXertion, had that morn
ing discharged her for some trifiing
fault, and the two dollars tied closely
In one corner of her poor, damp hand
kerchief was such little toward the
twenty that must be paid!
"Never mind, DEAR" said grandma,
going back to her work. I'VE can
sell old Red. She doesn't give milk,
anyhow, on account of the pumpkins
being frozen. It's good to have you
with us, and money is not everything"
But her fingers trQmbled a little as
the sharp knife did its work.
Suddenly it slipped. There was an
unintentional cutting of membrane
and out upon the table rolled bits of
earthenware. stones, gravel and four
shining pieces of gold, with which
the bronze turkey had been grinding
his food since that momentous day
when he picked them from Grandpa
Decker's paper.
How carefully each was washed and
dried and admired! Even Jess for
getting the humiliation that lies In
being discharged, now that the taxes
were to be paid by the very money
first intended for that purpose, hustled
about the kitchen, baking spicy cake
and dainty cookies. until the shadows
fell.
On Thanksgiving Day, as she helped
her grandfather to his second plate
of stuffing, he said, Remember, Jess,
and always keep Thanksgiving, for in
the keeping may lie the cause for 1t,
after ALL" And Jess promised to do
so as she filled the dishes with ounce
preserves and set the first one by his
plate.

a Century of enecIalists.

The yCung man who would attain
success in this century must be rro.
pared for 1t by special training and
such practical education as has never
before been demanded In the history
of the world. The tendency in every
line of endeavor Is toward centralizn-
tlon, toward great combinations of in,
terests. and the men who would climb
up to the head Of affairs, or to respon
sible positions. must be specialists.
There will be little hope in this coun
try for the jack of all-trades. A young
man must know how to do some one
thing effectually or he will not rise.
On the other hand. the prizes were
never before so great, nor the oppor
tunIties so promising, for the men who
have been trained to do one thing well
Those who know little Of everything,
but have not been trained to do ono
thing effectively, will be relegated to

THE BILLBOARD NUISANCE.
Buffalo wins the Right to Regulate Thess
Eyesores.

After legal battle extending over
n period Of six months, the city au-
thorities of Buffalo have scored
most decisive victory over the bill.
board barons. who have been making
the streets of the town hideous for
long time past
The particular point settled is that
the city has the power to regulate the
signboard nuisance. This. however,
was disputed by the Cunning System,
billboard operators, and when the
city authorities, acting under a local
ordinance. toppled over some of the
unslghtly boards, the concern succeed
ca In getting n restraining order from
the court preventing further opera.
tions in this direction.
At this juncture Governor Odell
came to the rescue, designated a spe-
cial term of the Supreme Court, and
named Justice Kruse to hear the case,
instead Of allowing the appeal taken
by the city to drag along for months
until it could be heard by the Appel
late Court.
1t was shown on the argument OF
the case that the boards, which are
more than seven feet high, increase
the danger from fire. that they are
liable to be blown down, that the
gaudy colors In which they are painted
make them unslghtly, and that they
are n menace to the health and morals
of the city by reason Of what they
screen from public gaze.
Several days were spent in taking
testimony. The Cunning System
fought every inch of the ground, re-
allzlng that an adverse decision in this
case would result in spiking their
guns throughout the State. 1t was Of
no avail. The facts were plain. The
billboard operators had been riding
rough shod over the rights of the peo-
pie, and the time had come when it
was no longer to be endured.
The decision rendered by Justice
Kruse is based on common sense. 1t
is held first that the great signs dis
tributed throughout the fair city OF
Buffalo are billboards within the
meaning of the law, that they are
nuisance for the several reasons given
above, and therefore should and
must come under the regulations of
the city authorities.
1t goes without saying that the city
authorities will now insist upon the
removal of these hideous eyesores.
If the Cunning System declines to act
in the matter the remedy is simple.
All that is necessary is to turn the
Fire Department into an axe brigade,
and 1t will do the rest.
A similar decision was rendered not
long ago in Chicago, and it is only
necessary to prod up the authorities
in the big cities of all the States to
forever wipe out nuisance which has
been permitted to exist altogether too
long. Then. perhaps, in time, the
State authorities may pass such regu-
lations as will relieve the districts out
side of the big cities.
Buffalo and Chicago have good rea-
son to rejoice, and it may be that even
New York will yet have similar rea-
son for jolliflcation some day or other.
In any event we have hcpes.-Fourth
Estate.

God that His blessings are not meas

Gods blessings are showered upon
us every day throughout the year; are
our praises for them and recognition

Selections
An easy thing, o power divine,
To thank thee for these gifts of thine!
For summers sunshine winters snow,
For hearts that kindle, thoughts that
glow,
But when shall | attain to this,
To thank thee for the things | miss?
The blessings of adversity seldom
awaken songs of thanksgiving. This
is in part because we often fail to
recognize adversely as blessing
Many a life is ruined by prosperity
"Adversity is sometimes hard upon n
man." said Carlyle. but for one man
who can stand prosperity there are a
hundred that will stand adversely"
Give us, o thou whose gifts are free,
The grace to heed thy call,
That in thy gifts we may find thee,
The sweetest gift of all.
1t is these daily blessings that make
our lives to be what they are. Is pure
water a mercy? Then in New York
there are ten millions of people who
should be grateful for this every day.
Is sleep, undisturbed and refreshing,
a good gift? Then for every unbro.
ken nights rest | should thank God.
If at any time | miss my Sleep and
the weary hours drag on, then | real
ize how great is the benedction of
slumber. These may seem small
things for which to give thanks, but
they are not. If we were deprived OF
them for good and ALL we should at
once show by our bitter complaints
that we do not think them small at
all.
Suggested Hymns.
I've learned to sing a glad new song.
We praise thee, we bless thee.

CARVING THE TURKEY,


NOW 10 liuuuic COlu steel on IhnnkS-
giving Day
The first move of the carver is to
insert the fork astride the breastbone,
at the point, plunging it deep enough
to secure firm hold. Then remove
the drumstlck with one stroke of the
knife, first cutting through the skin
down to the joint, hitting it squarely.
1t is n little difficult to locate this
joint, but by pressing the leg away
from the side of the turkey it is readi-
ly found.
1t is claimed that the expert carver
does not remove the fork from the
breast until he has quite finished. Be
that as it may 1t is quite necessary
to use the fork in separating the thigh
from the "drumstick."
