TIME FOR CAUTION.
Thanksgiving Season Suggests
Thought to an Ohio Man.

with the coming of Thanksgiving" said
a representative from Ohio, Il think 1t
we'll for all of us to be careful in sizing up
and criticising the shortcomings of others.
We are liable to slip cog at almost any
time and am reminded Of a Thanksgiving
proclamation which was issued by Salmon
p Chase when he was the chief executive
of our state Governor Chase composed his
proclamat ton almost exclusively of passages
from the good book, leaving out the quota
tion marks, as he confidently believed that
every man, woman and child who could
read would recognize the passages and
know that they were taken from the Bible
TT happened that the editor Of a rank
democratic paper did not like the governor,
and believing that he was stealing some
body else's thunder to make up his Thanks
giving proclamation, he forthwith proceeded
to wade into Governor Chase in an edi-
torial leader in which he declared that the
proclamation was a piece of plagiarism
from beginning to end; that he had read the
stuff before, but could not say exactly
where; the governor ought to be ashamed
of himself for trying to impose on the
people of Ohio in this way, etc
well, the joke would have been on the
editor of the democratic paper good and
hard, but the next day the republican
paper came out with an editorial denying
in the most positive terms that the procla-
nation was made up of stolen or borrowed
timber, and he challenged any living man
to produce one single line of the proclama-
ton which had ever been in print before"

Professor Slosson of Wyoming uni
versity says: IF a boy shows talent
for culinary art or for dressmaklng
he must not be debarred from training
in these arts, for he may get a larger
salary and possibly even contribute
more to human happiness as an Oscar

lawyer. If a girl shows a taste for me-
chanics let her have the necessary OPP
portunity to develop her genius. The
world needs great inventors so much

of election is allowed, the two sexes

bury its dead. Men have died, and
worms have eaten them, but not for

sheer instinct that bids him flee from
suffering, it is greater wisdom than
that of the broken hearted little girl
who shuts out every possible CLEAN of
brightness in the present by dwelling
in the mournful twilight of memory
living backward in those dear dead
days that are gone beyond recall.
There are few so solitary but that the
shadow of the grief with which they
surround themselves will fail to dark
en- the lives of others, and only by
unselfishly sharing in the joy and hap
piness of another does a broken heart
mend and life once more grow sweet
and worth the living.
One of the best of medicines for a
broken heart is woodwork for the
sheer sake of work, but if of service

PIN MONEY.

Even nowadays one often hears of
pin money, though generally people
who use the term have little idea of its
original significance.
Long after the invention of pins in
the fourteenth century the pinmaker
was only allowed openly to sell his
wares on the 1st and I'd of January,
and then the ladies of the court and
the wives and daughters of rich mer-
chants crowded to the shops to buy
them with money provided by their
husbands and fathers for the purpose.
After pins became plentiful and cheap
pin money was still given but it was
spent on other things required in a
lady's toilet.
