The Jews Thanksgiving.

At the reading of the Governors proc

day, the preacher, Rev. P. B. Fisk, took
occasion to say that Thanksgiving day
would be celebrated by the Jews in Ameri'

ton from the prosecutions of the despotic
governments of Europe. At different
times in the middle ages the Jews had
been expelled from one country and
another and they finally came to Ameri-
ca, the first party coming from Jamaica
In 1865. Five years before Cromwell
had emancipated them, and from that
day until the present time they have
lived at peace with the rest OF the world
in England, America and most of TIE
European countries. By their industry,
which has been one of their inherent
traits, they have become the money
power of the world, and it can be truth
fully said that they preserve the peace OF
Europe, for no nation can declare war
without first consulting the great bank
ing firm of the Rothschild and
affiliated Jewish houses.
The only sad feature of their celebra-
ton is the continued persecution OF their
race in Russia, and the dispersed race in
all parts OF the world are sending funds
to their comrades in distress in the
empire OF the Car. Let US hope that

but, alas, have not the boys appetite as
a measure of appreciation. When
Thanksgiving day dawned, the great
turkey, stuffed to bursting with oyster
or sage dressing and surrounded by PC
tatoes. was placed in the old brick oven
no, sir, no ranges for grandmother
and then all the aunts, uncles, cousins,
brothers and sisters piled into the great
wagon and with grandmother and grand
father in the seat of honor and with even
"old dog fray" sedately following, away
they would go to the white meeting
house on the hill, there to give thanks
for the bounteous barvests that were
safely slowed away for the winter. Did
MT anybody stay to watch the turkey!
Not for minute. That old brick oven
knew its business and when the wagon
returned with its jolly load of human
freight, Master Turkey was taken from
the oven, brown and sizzling hot, done
just to turn, a fit center forthe feast that
was to follow. Nowadays mother can't
go to church because she has to keep her
eye on that "pesky" old range; father is
tired from his business, so ensconces him.

to the "Yalevard" foot ball game and
Sister Anne is invited to attend the
theatre at Springfield, so must leave
before church would be over. The meet
ing house still stands and the faithful
shepherd of the flock is offering his
prayer of thanks just as was done in the
Puritan days OF Gov. Bradford, but those
present are few and are becoming fewer
and fewer as the years roll on, while the
trolley car and train and automobile is
each packed with it's crowd OF restless
pleasure seekers. But are they as happy
as the family in the long ago that found
its pleasure in the morning service and in
the happy family circle around the fire

Thanksgiving to Pass Away.

Is the old.fashioned Thanksgiving Day
passing away? Many OF us on FIRST i'm
pulse will say mo-" but our judgment
will no doubt be biased by thoughts of
the table on that day creaking beneath a
load of good things to tempt the appe-
tite and fill the stomach. From a mate.
rial standpoint thanksgiving is the same
now as in the days of our great grand
fathers. In early times the feast was
probably not so varied because trans
portation was more difficult, consequent
ly the dinner was of necessity confined
more strictly to the products of the farm.
But our modern Thanksgiving repast
differs little in it's general make up from
that OF rs or 100 years ago. Our query,
however, is not prompted by the materi-
al aspects OF the day so much as by the
spiritual meaning that should underlie
our one national holiday that is religious
in its origin.
The query that headed this letter was
suggested to us by considerati ton OF the
above decision of the churches The or
iginal significance of Thanksgiving day
as handed down from our Puritan an.
cestors was day Of thanksgiving and
prayer, and from it's very nature presup.

observance but many Of our citizens mot
Oldest inhabitants) have seen rapid
change in recent years and instead of the
white meeting house being filled to over
flowing on Thanksgiving morning, the
audiences each year grow less and it
would seem but few years more must
pass when the church service will cease
to be part of the day, and material
things only will govern. 1t is not our
purpose topreach sermon, but we have
striven to arrive at conclusion as to
why this should be so and the concensus
I OF opinion is that modern transportation
has had much to do with it. So many
things to do and so many easy ways OF
doing them. Forty years ago the men,
bers OF the family would look forward
to the family reunion and for days
before the holiday, grandmother would
be busy making mince meat, such as she
only could make, cranberry sauce, dark
red In color and jelly like in its delicious
ness, plum pudding and so many things

THANKSGIVING.

The following poem written by well
known St. Johnsbury, lady, which ap-
peared in the calendar of St. Andrews
church last Sunday, is deserving of a
wider reading, and we are glad to re.
print it in our columns.
In beautiful pictures the shadows deep
Blend with the lights and true harmony keep
Rounded and softened by sunlight and shade
Strong are the pign ents by master laid.
If wild torrents surge or landscape be gray
Yet the sunlit peaks are not far away;
Dazzled by sunlight, or misty and calm,
Variable moods are natures chief charm.
NV he ,rt, today. in rapture is holding
These truths of natures kindl' unfolding;
Calming and soothing with subtlest balm,
Even her silence triumphant psalm.
Althou Oh lifes pathway be filled with pain
Beauty and kindness and love we retain;
Thankfully, humbly grateful are we
That the all-wise Master made us see

Football Reform.

The demand for reform in the game
OF football is accentuated by the incidents
of Saturdays games and it is expected
that the college presidents will take
action at an early date. Before the
Harvard-Yale game Harvard's captain
was severely injured and for time it
was thought it would prove fatal. At
the Cambridge game the Yale men were
so rough that an eye witness tells us his
companion could hardly be restrained
from leaving his seat and demanding fair
play. A Harvard player had his nose
broken and Union college player was
killed the same day. There were pro-
badly other fatalities yet to be reported.
Walter Camps promise that the Yale
Harvard contest would be an open game
was not fulfilled and never will be under
the present methods Of a game that al
lows mass plays, interference and tend.
ency to the use of fists under the strain
of temper. II we are to have football
and the colleges could live and prosper
without it, let us have an open gam,
that will eliminate the brutal features O
the prize ring and arena and have in it
place gentleman's game. The reform
must come or else the game should b
dropped.

Reporting on the inspection by Ia

writes:
l have just received the report of
Inspector Hunt who visited your school
on April 18th, The report shows the
school to be we'll graded and organized.
The school building out-buildings and
surroundings are in good condition.
In order to maintain strong school
next year and carry the advanced
branches, it will be necessary to have
another teacher. | trust that arrange
ments may be made for this at your
annual meeting. With four teachers
you could have a very strong school.
The equipment of the school seems
to be about complete at the present
time. Probably some more books will
be necessary before the beginning of
another year.

Rhinelander.

Rhinelander, May 16-Mayor Matt
Stapleton has the following to say in
the columns of the local papers:
About fifty thousand cigars are con-
sumed in Rhinelander each week and
about twenty-five million each year.
Of this fifty thousand consumed here
each week but about seven thousand
are made in Rhinelander. The total
output per week is about twelve thou
sand and four thousand of these are
sold out of town. There are now some
twelve men employed in manufacturing
cigars. They earn and put in circula-
ton about $125 weekly and about $4,000
per year. If home made goods were
purchased to the exclusion of the for
eign products nearly sixty men might
be given steady employment. The sum
of $500 paid in wages and put in circu-
lstion weekly and the sum of about
$35, 900 yearly, the added wealth accru-
ing to Rhinelander would amount to
500, 900.
On another subject the mayor says:
Now this is the time of year for orr
people to build sidewalks and set out
shade trees. This is something that
should have been done years ago.
Shade trees and plenty of good side
walks make a city much more homelike
and attractive. By all means let us
have plenty of good shade trees and
sidewalks.

QUARTET AT CHETEK
Mendelssohn Quartet at Lake Chetek
July Is to 81.


Without any question there is no
Chautauqua attraction in the field
today more popular, widely known
and deserving than the Mendelssohn
Quartet. Six years of constant work
with Lyceum audiences has given them
an experience, which combined with
true talent, temperament and training,
enables them to touch the responsive
chord in every audience. This year
finds DR.. w. Del Harta, late member
of the Metropolitan Opera Company OF
New York, in the role Of first tenor,
and Mr.. Richard E. Yardley as baritone
and 'cellist. It is safe to say that this
superb combination will easily repre-
sent the best effort presented by the
Memberships. AS heretofore the
quartet will be supported by Marguerite
Smith, originator of the famous child
representations and greatest living ex-
ponent of that art. This great company
combines two entertainers in one.
The personnel of the group is as
follows: Urban Leo Alkire, basso;
DR.. w. Del Harta, first tenor; VIM.
C. Smith, second tenor; Richard E.
Yardley, cello soloist This illustrious
company Of artists is only one Of the
many refined and worthy entertainers,
which will greet Lake Chetek Assem-
bly, patrons during the session July II to
