THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.
Valuable Suggestions for Proper Observance
of This Day.

of This Day.
From Milwaukee Journal.
All summer we have had preached
to US the doctrine of rest, of change Of
occupation and of conserving our
81 rength. Now, almost before the
summer days are fled, housekeeping
with all OF its trials to body and mind,
and its strain on nerve power and
! temper, all the discomfort to the
family consequent or, the general
upheaval of domestic arrangements
comes to the fore. housekeeping is
scarcely over when holidays loom up
in the near distance. Blessed holt
days if kept in the spirit of cementing
family affection: Of giving free play to
generous Impulses: of happiness in
doing that which We can or those
having less OF comfort and Joy than
ourselves.
But these same holidays may
become dread and burden When
one racks the brain, strains each
| nerve to its utmost tension, and
depleteS the purse to the ragged
edge" Of dishonesty, the holidays had
better not have BEEN
Busy people on hospitality bent, are
already planning for the THANKSGIVING
dinner Let us not forget in the
material provision, the souls need.
Better little palmer meal and a little
more rest for mother" and more time
for friendly intercourse. Hospitality
| is virtue, bat like other virtues, may
be OverdOne. Custom has made it
seem imperative that much more
should be provided than can by any
possible means be eaten by family and
guests. 1t is also imperative that
each should eat to the extent of his
capacity, regardless of physical needs
or consequent illness. 1t is not time
that such foolish custom should be
diSregarded? Enough is as good as
feast" Let the dinner be more a
feast Of reason and flow of soul. -
This is an old saying and some may
call it platitude, but it contains a
solid truth. Let Thanksgiving be a
time to bring scattered member of
the family together. If there have
been ill-feeling, Quarrels or any bitter
ness, now is time to make it all up,
bridge it over and be loving. Forget
old grudges. Remember all good
deeds and kindnesses. Keep in MUD
that you are of kin, and ties of blood
should be strong. Is anyone unfor-
tunate? Do not parade his misfOr-
tunes, even if they are the result Of
his own mistakes. Is anyone grieving?
Be gentle and tender. las one gone
wrong? Strive with all kindness. with
pleas from the heart, to return.
Sorrows and miSfortunes come to all
at times. Should they seem to bear
heavily, count up your mercies. :,
Think Of the MANY thinpS for which
you should be glad and thankful.
Let us forget some of the useless and
hollow conventions. Let the heart
rule. Let us be generous, genial and
genuine. Let US take joy in simple
things. Let us share of all that
makes us glad With others whom we
may reach. 1t is no day for parade Of
fnery and show. Put Alterations in
dark closet and there let them
remain. Simple, natural words aud
manner, and good will to all. is the
best entertainment for Thanksgiving
day.

in this instance its effects upon mine

spring of 1895. Working in the fields

away it left me with the ague. Several
doctors prescribed for me but their medi-

was so very nervous that every little
sound annoyed and worried me. Besides
this had very severe case of stomach
trouble, food did not nourish me and my
appetite was poor. 1t would be impossi-

A BOSTON LADY
Is Marvelously Restored to
Perfect Health.
PailG'S Celery Compound
Was Her Deliverer from Nervous
Prostration, Insomnia, Mental
Depression and Weakness
of Her Digestive
Organism.
A Special Message of Comfort
for Sick and Despondent
Women.

Mrs. F. L. Bernhard, 1882 Newbury St.,
Boston, Mass, found herself in an ex-
trenely perilous condition, of health after
a surgical operation. Her touching story,
written for the benefit of other sufferers,
is as follows: ~"
at is with feeling of extreme graft
tude and thankfulness and humane de-
sire to benefit others, that write out my
own experience in the use of Prof. Edward
E. Phelps wonderful preparation, called
Paine's Celery Compound. Owing to a fall
from a horse several years ago l became
nervous invalid. and last year I entered a
hospital where 1 was operated upon by a
famous New York surgeon.
1.-THE surgical operation was successful
but nervous prostration followed. A sum-
mer at Newport with the best medical at
tendance failed to restore my nerves to
their normal condition. I was absolutely
unable to digest any solid food, and this
weak condition of my digestive organs,
combined with insomnia, caused the deep
est depression. A constant tenderness
and soreness in the region of my stomach
with dull headache and extreme weak
ness, created feeling of helplessness
from which I was unable to rise.
ut was in this melancholy frame of
mind that CHANGED to meet Boston law
yer who said to me, I was in almost the
condition that you are now in, and after
spending hundreds of dollars without re-
ceiving any benefit, l was induced by a
| friend to give Paine's Celery Compound a
trial. which did, and it cured me COM
pletely when everything else had failed
Il was, rather skeptical about trying a
patent medicine, but I ordered a bottle
from my druggist and began to take it
according to directions Much to my sur
prise, I slept soundly at night, and did
not awake in the morning with the usual
dull headache. Then, too, developed an
appetite for solid food, and soon I was
able to digest course dinner without any
unpleasant sensations. am now COM

months use of the Compound.

cess, the superintendent who have trained
the teams and the district directors. I should
be ungrateful, indeed, did l not mention the
assistance of The Minneapolis Journal.
When the plan was preached it offered
it's assistance at once in furthering the
scheme To my mind I think. after reading
The Journal for twelve years that it
is the cleanest, highest minded and most
democratic paper in the northwest or the
west h e o ur n al deserves the sincere
thanks of educators in this state, not for this
alone, but for the aid which it gives all eff
forts of this kind. -
in behalf Of the league and / shall turn it
over to the winner.
The Debate Was Warm.
The question for debate was the same
all the teams have used in former con-
tests: "Resolved, That Capital Punish
ment Should Be Abolished in the United
States. LIE Sueur, which opened, was
represented, in order, by Alice CurreS,
Michael Doherty and Henry Currer; Glen
wood in reply by Lolita Gray, William
Padden, Viggo Johnson. Each debater
showed a surprising grasp of facts and
statistics and handled his part of the de-
tail of the debate in clear and forceful
style. An echo was found in the mind
of nearly every one present to Professor
McDermott's statement, This is the best
high school debate 1 have ever heard"
| In argument and presentation the teams
| were about even. 1t is probable that in
rebuttal the LIE Sueur team won out.
Viggo Johnson of GlenWood showed re-
| markable natural oratorical ability which
counted much, but the closing arguments
of Henry Currer for LIE Sueur evidently
| had an appreciate effect on the judges.
The young women, to whom fell the diff
fcult task of presenting opening argu-
ments, were in every way the peers of
| the young men,. rl...>.s
While the ST.. Paul Central Mandolin
club played another number, the judges
sealed and filed their votes. These were
given to Judge Jaggard for presentation.
| In presenting the. cup to the winning
| team and the gold enameled buttons to
each member of it he said:
While we were listening to the eloquent and
learned disqusitions on all Tsubjects under
the sun and especially the army quotations
from the scriptures, 1 could not help think
! that in olden times the wise men came from
the east and now the wise boys and girls come
from out of the west. And, 4 thought that in
Portia, of whom we have read, there is fore
cast of the advocate that Is to come. I no
