would have brought anything but
thoughts of real thanksgiving. There
have been occasions, indeed, when the
result actually did cast a cloud Of gloom
over a large part of the population. The
decision of the quadrangular contest of
1860 settled the fact in the minds of
thousands of good American citizens on
both sides of Mason and Dixon's line
that the long dreaded war. between the
two great sections was inevitable. The
first partisan revolution after the war;
when the Democrats came back into
power in 1884, after a long period of
Republican supremacy, filled the hearts
of protectionists everywhere with fore
bodings of disaster to the manufactur-
ing industries of the United States. But
these conditions did not prevent the
mass of the people from assembling to
give thanks for such blessings as they
felt that they still enjoyed, and turning
their backs for a brief space upon the
darker side of the picture.
The collocation of election day and
Thanksgiving day is a happy one, for
the very reason that 1t forces upon all,
so soon after the violent clash of opin
ions and interests at the ballot box,
at least an outward recognition of the
fact that the rational life is a thing of
cheer and not of depression. 1t may
seem like trying to lift ones self by
ones own bootstraps to dissipate the
sense of disappointment by an exercise
of will power. but the observation of all
thoughtful persons is that this process
is effective, no matter how illogical it
may seem at a first glance.

TIE FIGHT AND THE FEAST
THAT FOLLOWS.
TFrom the washington Post

From the Washington PoSt1
It is an interesting coincidence that
we should hold. in this country, our ma
tional elections and our national
Thanksgiving day in the same month.
Quite as noteworthy is the practice,
doubtless due to the fact that in our
early history as a republic the distances
were great and the means of commune
cation slow. of having the presidents
proclamation issued some weeks before
the election comes on. The effect of
this is to make the president summon
to q special season of gratitude and re-
joicing a people of whom nearly one
half will be suffering the pangs of a
bitter disappointment when the time
for formal gladness arrives.
Perhaps this is a beneficent provision.
If the proclamation were put forth af-
ter election. it would appeal only to
that fraction of our populace who had
been successful at the polls. Fore
stalling, as It does. the discovery of
which party has a majority of votes,
everybody makes the same preparation
for the feast, and. this done, ne nat
lrally is the more inclined to make the
best of what he may have at first re-
garded as a bad matter. The existing
arrangement is in this sense promotive
or q wise Philosophy moreover, the
gathering together of families the
bringing into the domestic circle of
strangers who have no kindred near
enough at hand to entertain them, and
the festal spirit which seems to per-
wade the atmosphere at this time, all
tend to raise the emotional tone of the
and prevent the regrets of
the defeated from turning to sourness.

negerated selfishness toward which a
hard-won triumph tends.

suit at the polls in a national election

But this setback did not for a mo-
ment stop the wonderful career of e.
H. Hartman. There still remained two
other transcOntinental routes beside the
Great Northern. One Senator Clark was
building. The other was the Santa F'e.
This latter J. P. Morgan had reOrganiz-
ed. He had set it up strong and indie
pendent. He intended it to stand alone,
uncontrolled, foe and curb to all
monopolists. He had boosted that the
road could not be controlled.
Nothing like this stopped the ambi-
ton and the daring of E. H. Hartman.
He sent his men into the open market
and gathered a host of stock of this
great road. Control he could not buy,
but he could and did buy enough stock
to make him the putative master of
Santa Fe. BY agreement with the old
control, he became the practical master
of this Morgan road. He does not open

would precipitate the antagonism that
he is now sure he will meet. Hartman
owns the Santa Fe. His policy is para

Proper Seeing Of a Picture.


The first necessity for the proper
seeing of a picture is to try to see it
through the eyes of the artist who
painted it. This Is not a usual meth
cd. Generally people look only through
their own eyes, and like or dislike a
picture according as it does or does
not suit their particular fancy. These
people will tell you: ooh. don't know
anything about painting. but I know
what I like which is their way Of
saying: IF + don't like 1t right off I
don't care to be bothered to like it at
ALL" Such an attitude Of mind cuts
one off from growth and development,
fir it is as much as to say: It am
very we'll satisfied with myself and
quite Indifferent to the experiences
and feelings of other men," Yet it is
just this feeling and experience OF an
other man which a picture gives u.s.
If you consider moment you will un-
derstand why. The world itself is a
vast panorama. and from it the pain
ter selects his subject-not, the copy
Of it exactly, since it would be impos-
sible, each blade of grass, each leaf
upon a tree? So what he does is to
represent the subject as he sees it. as
It appeals to his sympathy or inter-
est; and if twelve artists painted the
same landscape the result would be
twelve different pictures, differing ac-
cording to tn way in which each man
had been impressed by the scene; in
1I, according to his separate point
of view or separate way of seeing it.,
Influenced by his Individual experience
and feeling.

DIVIDING THE TIPS.

From the chicago Chronicle.
Tipping has been reduced to a very

laughed. Fritz, bring the book he said.
The book was opened upon the table,
and disclosed columns and rows Of figures
opposite the names of walters. Between
them the manager and Fritz explained
the system.
Every penny given in tips was cast

er elected by his fellows. At the end Of
the week the sum was distributed. Three
classes were arranged by the manager,
according to efficiency, and the shares
were In corresponding proportions, so that

"Waiters keep a jealous eye on their fel
lows, and the man suspected Of pocketng
a tip finds his position untenable. The
system is good for the public, since it
aiminishes the unpleasing personality OF
a charitable action. 1t is good, too. for
the walters, since that record Of the
weekly gratuties showed that the best
walters made about $4,000 year in tips"

It is the belief of the men interested

rowing money from everybody whether
they are in need Of cash or not A

Habituai Touchers.
The anti-touch club proposes to put
quietus on all such plausible graft
ers and to place in the hands Of the
members both shield and weapon with
which to ward off the approaches of
the merry TOUGHER. A button worn on
the vest lapel above the heart will
prove membership. A printed copy of

defensive one to explain the direful
consequences that must befall him If

money but he certainly will have a
good excuse.
Thus far the steps taken to estab-
lish Chicago anti-touch society have
been more or less secret, and the en-
terprise will be pushed in such a. man
| ner as to avoid publicity. 1T is feared
that the announcement that such q
project is afoot might stimulate the
regular touchers to make last and
strenuous effort to "realize'' on every
accessible touchee before they become
participants in the scheme to put an
end to such injustices as they have
endured in this way. Something Of Sc

meetings and activities of the society
