ONCE more the time has come round when for
single day requested to put aside thoughts of
the things without and the things we hope to
get and turn minds to our actual possessions
and give thanks for them. It is a fine thing, this
American institution of Thanksgiving Day. It is
of the nations most valuable heritages. It is
perhaps the holiday that appeals to all races
classes and sects in country. We are all too
prone to dwell on what we LACK what we just missed
by hairs breadth, what might have BEEN it is we'll
to be publicly reminded of the other side of the
picture at least once year. November is cheer
less month, with it's sombre browns chill greys and
bare branches supplicating leaden skies. It cor
responds to that mongrel hour "between the dark
and the daylight" precious to those surrounded
by loved faces fearsome to those among strangers
Summer is gone; winter is yet to come; and the
hardships of it's storm and cold are heightened in
imagination. 1t is well to turn from natures cheer
less face and let minds dwell on the manifold
blessings most of us possess and give thanks there
for
To some of us in here the year drawing to
it's close has been eventful one. Some have built
high hopes, only to see them vanish like smoke
before the breeze; others have been blessed with
fruitful endeavors; while still others have
pursued the tenor Of their existence expecting
little and therefore content with what came to pass
All have many reasons to be thankful today. To
enumerate few of the obvious blessings Most of
have good health and good friends while all of us
lave physical needs provided for These seem
ike little things until one is SICK friendess cold
hungry Then their magnitude becomes apparent.
And in addition to these gifts which visible to
all, it would be hard to find man. however low his
estate, who does not in his secret heart find many
things for which to be thankful.
The country at large has more than ordinary
reason to celebrate this Thanksgiving Day in the
spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers. In many ways this
has been exceptional year. Money has been
plentiful without any diminution of its purchasing
power; there have been serious epidemics of
disease; international complications have arisen
to disturb the markets or effect the commercial
equilibrium; the crops have been large and the
prices steady; by granting autonomy to Cuba we
have redeemed our pledge to the civilized world,

AT farewell dinner in Birmingham, England

explains that he intends to 60 to South Africa see
what the country needs talk with the leading citi-

needs. All this sounds very we'll but any informa-
ton Mr. Chamberlain will get in South Africa will
most likely come from uitlanders and not from the

accept the views of the latter any matter of

mand some respect Petty larceny is not his graft
He takes continent and then 'hypos" his own
nation into uphoding him while he bluffs the world
It is hard not to admire his supreme gall but when
he talks about Duty and kindred topics the with

of Joseph Chamberlain far; is the duty of looking
after the main chance. This he has pursued assidu-

ton would hesitate before going there, but Chamber

A paper called Both Sides, pub
lished in st. Paul and devoted to
the interests and defense of the
liquor traffic, says the dive and the
low groggery are the arch enemies
of the saloon and do more to
endanger it's permanence than all
the incorporate howlings of the
prohibition agitator. Could Both
Sides show where the line is
drawn between these three kinds
of resorts, or which would come
out on top if all three were put in
a bag and we'll shaken? There is
some difference in the furnishings,
but from a moral point of view it
is about half a dozen of one and
twice three of the other. The same
paper asserts that it is self-evident
that where certain building pos
sesses the right to have liquor
dispensed within it, it's rental
value is materially increased

one instance in verifcation of this
assertion any small boy could show
them a thousand instances to dis
prove it.

A number of newspaper writer's
have recently INDUCED in some
speculation as to whether a skull
found in Kansas few weeks since,
was or was not the Uranium Of
Adam. The Kansas City Star Says:
"While all of the speculations.
about the skull are purely prob
lematical, the Eden theory of Kan
sas is not in the least visionary or
far fetched. Kansas need not have
been whit fresher and lovelier in
the dawn Of creation than it is
today to have made it a paradise
fit for the occupation of the parents
of the race as they came from the
hand of God. The serpent which
tempted Eve may have been bull

of it's spots and colors and which

also asserts that Americans are un-
interesting in conversation. This
charge would have been more cor

interesting. This latter might be
said of vast numbers, not only Of
Americans. but of humankind
generally. In their desire to make

difficult to say too little, but it is

This brings us to the phrase
eff a man doesn't toot his own

him. This is certainly a mis-
taken idea. A man is much better

toots his horn long or loud in the
ear of the average stranger a great
deal of the foot is likely to find it's

every man feels that he is better
than the average it would be

NEGOTIATIONS
CONCLUDED

1t is now definitely settled that
Charles B. '!anford will visit this city
with his revival of Shakespeare THE
Tanning of the Shrew" Late last
night a telegram was received by
Manage, oridwell from the james
B. Delcher Amusement company who
direct Charles B. Hanford's tour.
The message stated that after
several changes the route of the play
had been re-arranged and this city
will positively be visited. This will
undoubtedly be welcome news to local
theatregoers.

HELEN CRANTLY'S GOWNS

One of the most attractive features
of the revival of "The Tanning of the
Shrew" is the gowns worn by Miss
Helen Grantly who plays Katherine.
The garments were specially designed
for her by Worth of Paris, and it
is said that in making them the
great dressmaker has surpassed all
of his previous efforts in stage attire.
The richness of the fabrics, the ex-
quisite patterns and the elaborate
embellishments combine to render
them models of grace and beauty.
Wherever these dresses have been
seen this season feminine theatregoers
have openly expressed their admira-
ton. Their cost is reported to be
not less than $6500. Miss Grantly
is particularly well suited by nature
to wear such artistic and costly
garments for she is of striking
personal beauty both as regards face
and figure. Last summer the cable
flashed the news from London that
her portrait had been selected by the
Photographers Convention as an ideal
of Grecian beauty.
"The Tanning of the Shrew in which
the well known Shakesperian star
Charles B. Hanford will play Pethru-
chic will be presented in this city
soon.

THIS YEARS BICYCLES

There is not much new in bicycles
this Jear, although the 1902 styles
tends to the use of inch tubing in
ste ID of inch and quarter tubing.
Strange as this may seem, the dealers
say the smaller the tube is the
stronger. The coaster brake, which
was practically new last year, is
growing in popularity and the dealers
think the invention will stimulate the
s:le of wheels. A good wheel can
be bought this year for $l5 to $25,
such as two or three years ago cost
close up to the century mark, and the
latest improved, chainless, up-to-date
machines cost only $75. This is the
of the harvest se@son for
the repair men and they are having
all they can do to get the orders out
as fast as they come in. They also
have good deal of work to do for
those who have pneumatic tired
