story of the Day.
This is the story the way my pa
Told it one night TO me and ma.

Told it one night to me and ma
Thanksgivin' day comes once a year be-
cause the Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense TO
leave their native land
And come across the sea to find a stern
and rockbound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to
bosses emmy more,
Where thieves would not break in and
steal and trusts would never try
To gobble everything and let the little
dealer die.
We celebrate Thanksgivin' day because the
Pilgrims came
In search of freedom where they knew that
they would find the same,
Where men would be as brothers, where
the strong would aid the V"sak,
Where libburty would raise hct flag on
. every cIag and peak.
Where biilionaires would never dare TO
cheat for profits sake
Or break the laws that other men were not
allowed to break.
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by
that Pilgrim band
Have all come true. because there's not an
evil in our land,
Because we have no wealthy rogues to plan
and plot and scheme
To make the libburty we claim a'vain and
empty dream,
Because our magnates so TO church and
teach IN Sunday schools,
And everywhere from sea to sea the Chris
We keep Thanksgivin' day because the man
who does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the
rest:
He may not have a snare OF slOch OF own
foot Of land,
But all our wealthy senators are Slad 10
shake his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with
all the jellus care
They ever give the interests OF any mil
lonaire
We keep the good old day because no idle
rich ignore 49,, . T.,
scratching at the door, ~,
Because we have such freedom as the Pil-
grims wished to claim,
Because we never are oppressed ana never
splotched with shame,
Recal,se we've frightened greed away and
raised our standard high
And kept the faith for which our sres
were not afraid to die.
That is the story the way my pa
Told IL one night TO me and me

what They're Thankful Fer.
I'm thankful said the blooming girl
As she combed her nut brown tresses,
Is lengthening my dresses"
"I'm thankful" said the social belle
As she waltzed in the CAV uuadrine
For men and mirrors tell me
That I'm young and pretty still"
I'm thankful" said the arrogant youth,
Whose sweetheart gave him the mitt;
But Truth crushed to earth shall rise
SO he faintly added, nit"
"Im thankful" said the bachelor.
As he smoked I'm his lonely dem
But II ] were safely married
I'd be more thankful then"
I'm thankful" said the fond mamma
OF seven girls and boys,
For find that lifes keen sOrrOws
Are cancelled by its joys
I'm thankful" said the spinster.
As she calmly wiped her eyes.
That my life has not been a race course
With man the only prize
"I'm thankful" said the farmer.
THAT turkey meat is high" .
And turk, roosting high in the tree-top,
Whispered, yes, so am !"
''we'd be thankful" said some turkeys.
ITO escape and leave no clue"

canal zone within three months. The estab-

hardly be difference as to the fact that
the spirit in which he discusses the
race issue, his speech at Chicago be-
ing characteristics, is grave hindrahce
TO any useful solution. 1t breathes
defiance, bitterness, intolerance, and
in every syllable exasperates the baser
passions which at best are hard to
deal with on such a question. Mutual
animosities are the very essence of the
race issue, but Senator Tillman, in
stead of striving to allay and remove
them, seems TO strain sll his energies

This Incompatible and arrogant at

in every way to be regretted at this
time, when there are many ominous
signs OF increasingly critical strain be-

sections where they are in closest con-

Row ~ the Giver's Feet.
The white moon peeps thru my window
As I'm sitting alone tonlCht
Thinking ct days I've left behind
In the years that have taken flight.
Aly heart is fun OF n namelcss thrill
That my life has been 50 sweet.
And / fain would hurry to lions hill
And bow 81 the Givcrs feet.
The year iust going has brought mo boon
As rich as the years gone hv;
The skies we're clear as the harvest moon
When the golden crops were dry;
The grain was garnered abuudantly then,
For the wintrv DAYS ahead,
And thank the Giver Of good TO men
For supplies Of daily bread.
No fell disease with ghsstly shrouds
Has come IN grim disguise:
No war has spread its balefUl clouds
Athwart my azure skies;
But the dove Of pcecc--the white-wingcd
Dove
Has built IN nv own roof-tree
And the breezes have ioated the banner IT

Ger all my land and sea.
So now I sing as best can
