the poor man, whose name was
BIZ Leggo, made believe to agree
with the mean man. But really he did
not agree with him at all, for he
came of poor but honest parents, and
was very much like them himself So
he devised cunning plan.
That night he went to Noah's house
aad said to him: LET us go to do this
deed. But we will have to go into the
woods just behind your house and
work around through them for sew
eral miles, so as to approach the dea-
cons place through the underbrush in
the back. 1t would never do for us
TO be seen"
"That is a good idea," said Noah.
''But l do not know the way through
the woods"
II will guide you" said poor but
honest Bill 81 fear, however, that
you will find it rough going, for we
cannot dare to carry lantern"
He took hold of Noah's arm and off
they went, up and down and in and
out, through thick and thin and thorn
and swamp, this way and that way,
twisting and turning, till Noah was
nearly dead and only his great mean.

At last, scratched and bruised and
full of mud, weary and suffering, he
fell into a deep mudhole, which,
strangely enough, had been avoided
cleverly by poor but honest Bill.
Never mind" whispered Bill, help.

Touches Of GOLD and silver.

Little touches of gold and silver
another marked feature of new styles
ARE on many costumes. But, like
the prettiest of the party dresses
Paris has ever sent over, both gold
and silver are used with the highest
possible touch; the suggestion of met
al must be there, but the hard, bright
look must be kept away from. Often
the only touch of metal is in the rimE
of buttons This quieter use Of gold
and silver is in keeping with the ten
dency toward more somber effects.

Thanksgiving Day the
Oldest of Our Holidays.
First Enjoined as Religious as Well az
Civic Obligation, the Spirit of
the Season Remains.

1t is season of gladstone tradi-
tions. Far away as are our lives from
those of the little band of colonists OF
Massachusetts, Bay who reverently es-
tablished Gay of thanksgiving for
mercies which to us seem no more
than the commonplaces of a meagre
existence, the spirit of the occasion
survives.
Through all the vicissitudes Of our
national development, Thanksgiving
day has been preserved as peculiarly
the New England memorial. For gen.
erations it had sectional observance
and a limited significance. It was not
until the white heat of the civil war
fused our people of all sections into
a nation homogeneous, that the New
England Thanksgiving was made that
of the whole country.
Since the first proclamation by the
president, calling for the observance
of a day of thanks for the preserva-
ton of the union of the states, the Gus
tom has been maintained; the genera
ton of to-day knows it in this char
acter alone.
This is the Oldest of our holidays.
In the early times of sectarian intol-
erance, when church and state were
Joined in the rule of Massachusetts,
there was no Christmas under the
law. Observance of the natal day of
the Prince of Peace was discouraged,
if not absolutely prohibited, by harsh
enactments. But the recognition of
the daysof thanksgiving was enjoined
as a religious as well as a civic obi
cation.
All this is changed in the growth of
our people, our commonwealth, our
nation, to the stature which we see to-
day. Our whole people unite in the CIV
ing of thanks; and if the religious ele-
ment is given less prominence in the
forms with which the day is observed,
in the hearts of all there is no less
reverent gratitude for the benefac-
tons with which the Power which
rules the universe has crowned the
life of people and of individuals in
this happy age.
We must be glad, every one of us,
LudL we i've IO-Qdy. ne COuultlOu
of humanity is not perfect; there are
cruel exceptions to universal human
felicity; but the advance has not only
been great but steady and full of mar
velous promise for the race. And as
for the immediate present, we have
only to compare existing conditions OF
physical comfort, of intellectual i'm
provement, of moral and social uplift-
ing, with those enjoyed by our prede-
cessors, to feel a wave of congratula-
ton surge over our hearts.
Personally, many of us may feel
that fortune, or providence, has dealt
harshly with us during the past year.
There have been disappointments.
perhaps grievous Affections, whose
pain is not yet dulled. Let such sum-
mon up the resources of the faith that
sustained the men of the first Thanks
giving days, who felt as we'll as be-
lieved that whom the Lord loveth,
them he chasteneth;" and let all look
forward straight into the future where
the sun shines with glory and a
gracious warmth unknown to the race
of mankind at any period before this
favored century

A Wonderful Discovery

1t has been the aim of scientists for
years to find some liquid preparation
which would possess anodyne, astrin-

be of such consistency that it would
penetrate, first, through the skin, then
through the muscles and finally to the
very bones, exerting on it's way down,
healing and pain destroying proper

The Pessimists.-There are people
who are patterns ofgood morals and
yet steal away the enjoyment which
other people have In their surround
ings and possessions. A mans happi-
ness is one of his richest possessions
and there is no greater menace to so
ciety than the cynics, pessimists, and
those gloomy morbid persons who
make business of robbing other peo-
pie of the music and sunshine Of life.
