Mrs. Ward had let Carl send, She sat
down on her trunk and cried again. 1t
seemed all so dismal mistake, such Q
waste Of her life so far. She did not
look forward TO the future with any
degree Of hnpefulness Il seansad as d
all her high ambitions were destroyed
and all of her ideals swept out of her
life.
The next two days she spent in help
ing her mother with some sewing and
in little duties about the house. In
every moment of leisure from these
duties her thought at once went back
to her ambition to serve, and the more
she dwelt upon it the more hopeless
she grew.
In the morning of the third day after
she had left Mrs. Ward, and she was at
work washing the breakfast dishes,
when note was brought to her. The
reading of it stirred her pulses as she
stood in the kitchen and read:
my Dear Barbara: Carl has been taken
III and is very sick child He calls for
you constantly. Can YOU come and see
him? do not dare ask II you will come
to stay again. after my unkind words to
you. But I am sure you will be willing
to please Carl by coming to see him. The
dear child is very i'll indeed
MRS RICHARD WARD"
Barbara went out to the sitting
room at once and showed the note to
her mother.
"Of course, I will go right over
there" Barbara said, as she put on her
hat.
"Wnl you stay If Mrs. Ward asks you
tor her mother asked. with tone
which conveyed curiosity mingled with
discussion.
II don't know" Barbara hesitated.
~ don't think she will ask me to come
back"
VI think she will" replied Mrs. Clark.
"And my advice, Barbara, is that you
say no. Ican't bear to think Of you az
finally becoming nothing but serv-
ant"
Barbara did not answer. She said
good-by to her mother and started for
the Wards. On the way her mothers
last words smote her again and again.
"Nothing but servant"
Was it, then, SO low place
for Q human being to fill = a
place of service where the help
rendered was necessity to FAM
lily? Was this place in society so in
significant or SO contemplate that it
could be characterized as nothing
but service? What was worth while,

dressing up for parties as SO many

did all the time? We're these things
more eseful than the work she had
been doing of caring for the physical
needs of home SO that h could desei

Mrs, Ward met her at the door as
she was about to ring the bell. She had
evidently been looking for her ou6 %

said, and in few words she explained

all these things The corn binder cuts
and binds the corn stalks into bundles
the corn shredder husks the corn and
tears the stalks up into feed superior to
hay. The last disagreeable task of the
farm is gone. The government carrier
brings the mail and the daily paper t.,
his door every day. The rural tele-
phone keeps him in touch with his
neighbors and markets and his wife
and children now enjoy the pleasures OF
the society of others which heretofore
had been denied them. The change for
the better in life on the farm during
the last twelve months has been little
short of marvellous and for all this the
farmer should be thankful In fact
there has never been year in the his
tory of this nation when all its people
could unite in greater cause for Thanks
giving than have they done today. We
are all thankful, thankful because we
are living.

clylL RUE EoR PHILIPPINES.

There is a well-grounded belief in
Washington that President Roosevelt
will urge the establishment OF civil
government in the Philippines, similar
to that provided for Porto Rico by the
last congress, and under which the lat
Ter island is making substantial and
reaceful progress The report OF the
secretary of war shows that formal ana
omen resistance to American authority
in the Philippines had practically ter
minated year ago and that 1t was sup
planted by guerrilla warfare closely ap-
preaching brigandage. The efforts OF
the army to suppress this was renewed
with vigor, fifty insurgent officers and
leaders were deported to Guam. and In
fact the concerted movement was car
ried forward with such telling results
that, with the exception of Lukban in
Samar and Malvar in southern Luzon.
all prominent insurgent leaders and
their commands were captured or sur
rnedered.
It is true that the army is required to
be on it's guard and occasionally finds
work to do, yet IL it were understood
that civil government was to be imme-
eiately established it might have a
wholesome and encouraging effect

plete civil government, but full details

ance on account Of the incorporation in
the army reorganization act last winter
of the amendment by Senator Hoar for
bidding the granting of any franchises.
Another feature contemplated in har-
mony with the recent investigations
made is to establish complete none
tary and commercial system for the
islands It is further understood to be
the policy Of the administration to ask
for the ratification Of such acts of legis-
lative character as have been put in
force by the Taft commission, and to
use every endeavor to hasten the pa
cification and thorough development of
the Philippines.
Many are not yet convinced that it
should be the permanent policy of our
government to retain the Philippines,
snd il an effort is made to supplant mill
itary control with civil government and
it proves to be successful and beneficial
to the islands and our nation, as 1t GER
tainly will In time, reason for such OPP
position will cease to exist. Besides. 1t

THANKS OF THE DAY.

This is the day that seventy-nine mil
ions OF people In the United States are
giving thanks for the generous abund-
ance Of Natures gifts in their beauti-
full land. It is the nations annual har-
vest festival, the Thanksgiving Day.
The mere fact that the custom pre-
walls in this country of observing sucf
day bespeaks national appreciation Of
soil and cline productive beyond the
ordinary and the custom. tho ancient
almost as is the Oldest white settlement
In North America, is not an unwar-
ranted one. since within the brief period
OF 200 years from the day the generous
woods OF New England yielded up the
Thanksgiving bird to the starving coll
ony of Puritans. the wilderness of for
est. lake and prairie travsrsing the
garden spot of continent has become
the home Of a. great nation of civilized
people, who till the soil OF almost every
acre Of the 5000 miles from sea to sea
and contribute OF their surplus grains
cloths, meats and machinery to feed and
clothe. in greater part. the nations of
the earth.
Seventy-nine millions of people give
thanks today because out OF an abund-
ance of material things they have
prospered greatly in things spiritual
and intellectual. The president, himsel
typical American in that he has al
ways enjoyed material prosperity and
has used it to acquire intellectual and
spiritual benefits, was moved in his
Thanksgiving proclamation to suggest
that the best way in which to prove our
thankfulness is for each to do his duty
to his fellow men. This is the spirit of
the age. the moving impulse of moo
ern religion. The ideas of the Puritan OF
the first thanksgiving day that mans
obeisance hurnbly and rigldly to the AL
mighty and to break the other fellow
neck If he didn't do the same, has given
way to the religion that mans duty to
God is mans duty to man and never

contemplate putting Cedar and Jones
into the Second district and dropping off

to kill off Congressman Cousins. The
Herald would have no objections to this
plan. for Cousins would be nominated

SECRETARY ROOT AND THE ARMY.

Root, synopsis of which was printed
in the Times Republican yesterday. is
not the least important of public docu-
ments now being considered. The Sc
quels of the Spanish war are still alb
sorbing attention, and as Secretary
Roots department has had much to do
with our military occupation and con-
troll of important points the report can
&c, fail to interest the people.
1t has been part of his duty, also to
muster out a large part of the volun-
teer force and to direct movements for
the act of February 2, 1901. The mus
ter out was quiet, orderly and without
incident, and it is noteworthy that 81
per cent of the men mustered out pro-
ceeded without delay to their respective
homes.
The aim in recognizing and enlarg-
ing the army has been to secure the
very best material for the rank and file,
and the men thus far obtained have
been of the best type. About three
fourths of the total number OF appli-
cants have been rejected and about
one-fourth accepted. OF those about 90
per cent are native born and about IL
per cent naturalized citizens. The re-
quirements that the applicant should be
in perfect health, Of good character, and
able to read and write have been rigidly
enforced.
1t Is essential not only for the disci-
pline and efficiency but for the health of
the army that this policy be pursued.
The solicitude of the department. Tor the
welfare of the soldiers is noteworthy.
The reports show that the food and
clothing furnished to the army during
the year have been satisfactory, that
the health of our troops has been good
and the death rate low. The death rate
per thousand OF troops IN the United
States during the past year was 1914;
in Cuba, 972; in Porto Rico, 7.90, and
among the troops serving In the Philip
pines and China it was reduced from
1881 during the previous year to 1916
during the past year. This covered per
iods OF very active service In the field
by considerable portions of the force in
the Philippines, and will doubtless be
much further reduced as the troops
come to be stationed in more permanent
quarters In the opinion of the medical
department. when permanent arrange
ments have been made and proper SAN
itary regulations can be enforced, the
health Of the troops stationed in the
tropics will be quite as good as if sta
toned In our own gulf states.
The secretary has endeayored to en-
large the opportunities for securing a
military education. as one of the essen
tial needs of the present times, and a
number of important schools of instruc-
ton in addition to West Point, have
been provided Cor at army points
It is evidently the laudable aim of
Secretary Root to bring the army up
to the highest point of efficiency and
vigorous oversight is given to various
details to bring it about.
