AN AMERICAN HOLIDAY

Thursday of this week Americans
all over this land celebrated a truly
typical American Thanks,
giving Typical, did we sayt Yes,
typical of American freedom, Ameli
can independence, American prosperi
ty and American optimism and, above
and beyond all the American spirit
of reverence which acknow lodges one
God, the maker and creator of the un-
iverse and, acknowledging Him as the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
of celebrating in holiday spirit and
singing hymns of praise to Him in
gratitude for His mercies and His
manifold blessings to the children of
men.
No other country under the sun
makes this national recognition of di.
vine favor. Perhaps it may be said
that in no other country has the divine
favor rested so generously upon the
people. But ere this thought crowds
upon your mind, let US not lose
sight of the attitude of the American
people in this regard. Truly, we
have been blessed with plenty. Truly
we have prospered beyond the most
extravagant dreams of any nation on
the face of the earth, but let MS not
lose sight of the fact that with all our
blunders, all our mistakes and all our
shortcomings, we have not as nation
forgotte that the Lord He is God.
This is time also when the hearts
of those who aIe we'll provided with
the comforts of life go out to those less
fortunate. We are made to see the
truth of that striptural saying that
"No man liveth to himself and none
dietb to himself. We are made to
feel our obligations to those in need
II we are imbued with the true
Thanksgiving spirit we are forced
to ask that old but pertinent question,
Am | my brother 5 keeper and
then answer it in the affirmative
Thanksgiving time in its true sense
and meaning is not epitomized in
roast turkey and pumpkin pie. These
are only the legendary symbols of our
own creation, but as in the early days
the pilgrims feasted on the good
things which had been vouchsafed to
them and rendered thanks to Him
who had blessed them with rich har.
vests and brought them victory over
their enemies so we today cherish the
custom and traditions viii ch initiated
and has ever maintained this strictly
American holiday.

DEMOCRATIC papers all over

judice resorted to. the republicans
carried everything in that state just

The department of the Seine-which

cussing the construction of mammoth
boulevard or avenue from the gates Of
Paris to st. German, a distance Of
about ten miles, says the London Stand
ard. The avenue would be prolonga-
ton of the Champs Elysees and the Ave
nue. de la Grande Armee and the COM
pletion of the scheme projected by Ma
poleon when he planned these fine ave-
nues. The road would not go to the
town of st. German, but would end in
the middle of the forest, about mile
and a half away. In the 2ehter it is
proposed to have an electric railway
which would travel underground as far
as Neuilly. A carriage drive would be
on one side and motor car track on
the other. There would also be two
cycling tracks and two footpaths. The
whole would be fifty yards wide. The
estimated cost is 100000 ($2,000,00O.

YOUNG MARTYR TO MOOESTY

After fifteen hours in the water be-

Dixon of Mckinney street, Brooklyn,
fifteen years old and naked, was fished
out feeling like bunch of seaweed.
After he had been rugged out in a pair
of overalls and nickel for car fare
had been thrust in his puckered hand
he was sent home not much the worse
for his adventure.
Johnny reached COney Island about
2:3O in the afternoon and buried his
clothes in the sand while he took a
swim. When he went to get them a
great hole yawned ominously. Johnny
waded a long distance down the
beach and was not far from the

of Johnnys attire, alarmed the boy.

tide rose and fell mechanically hitched
his body up and down the post. He be-
came numb to sounds and after awhile
ceased to feel cold. He just hung on,
waiting not for day, but for death, and
in that manner came through the hour
of black darkness up to dawn.
When the first rays Of the sun danced
from the horizon over the waves the
boy hardly could believe the truth,
That he had actually chung to that
post the whole night through was to
him incredible. But with returning
light he piucked up hope, swan to a
nearby Spite, then to another and be-
gan to wonder how he was going to
account for his absence overnight if
he ever got back to Mckinney street
1t was a little before 6 when Temp
kins, an engineer on the pier, came to
work. The boy gave wild shout and
that time he was heard. In ten min
utes he was being hauled up with a
rope fastened beneath his armpits.
The engineers overalls came nearly up
to Johnny's neck, and his legs seemed
to be in bags, but by holding them up
with his hands he managed to walk,
and. as he said. anything was good
enough to get home in.

THE CHILEAN "YAPPA."
1t Is Similar to the "Lagniappe" OF
New Orleans.

Residents of New Orleans and north
ern readers of Cables stories of the
city are familiar with the interesting
and gracious custom of small trades
men of giving lagniappe. The word,
commonly pronounced 'lanyap," refers
to the small present which the dealers
make to their customers as a sort OF
inducement to call again. The custoiu
is so firmly established that the people
are in the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases. and children ask for
it. Mrs. Hort in her book THE Garden
of the Pacific" describes a similar Gus
tom in Valparaiso. The Chileans, how
ever, call the gift 'yappa," which one
readily sees is kindred to the word
used in New Orleans.

He was positive that any programme

"SPENT MONEY LIKE KINGS"
THINKING STATE WAS STANDING
THE EXPENSE.

Soldiers Home investigating Commit
tee Found They Were Entitled
to Only to 81 Per Day.
After living in Atlanta for a week
and spending money like kings" as
one member of the committee put it,
on the idea that the State is footing
the bills, it naturally jars man some
what to find out that he is entitled to
collect only 81 day.
That was the experience with which
the members of the legislative COM
mittee, appointed to investigate the at-
fairs and management of the Confed-
crate Soldiers Home met when they
went to collect what they thought the
State owed them When they finished
their work each of them made out
his bill for expenses incurred, includ-
ing railroad fare and hotel bills, and
then added 81 a day, which is the us
ual allowance made to member of
the legislature while on duty.
Gov. Terrell Immediately dug up the
resolution under which the committee
was serving. Let me see about this
he said, and when he had got through
with the resolution he found that 1t
authorized the payment of only 81
day, with no expenses of any kind.
The Governor therefore drew a war
rant for the 81 a day for each member
of the committee. BY way of consoa-
ton he remarked, as he handed them
the warrants: "I'll refer the matter
of expenses to the attorney general,
