that the vast majority of people
never wake up. They may think
they are awake, but if they should
pinch themselves few times they
might discover the fact that they
have never experienced thorough
awakening to realization of the
pleasures OF the fullness and rich
ness OF life, i. e., the life that
seeks to place itself more thor
oughly in accord with natural
laws, whereby we may be enabled
to get the most and best out of life.
A man who lives less than a
thousand miles from this Stillwa-
ter Industrial college recently said
that men who work from six or
seven a. m. to six p. m. have no
time for physical or mental inn
provement, while another remarked
that they would be too tired for it.
1t would be about as reasonable to
say that man who saws wood
with pillow all day has no time or
energy for learning a better and
easier way, no time or energy for
raising himself to a higher intel
lectual level, whereby he might be
enabled to demand compensation
commensurate with the services of
more efficient workman. Meta
phorically speaking, millions of
people are saving wood with plows,
giving the maximum of energy for
the minimum of achievement. IF
one of st. Peters travelling agents
should 60 to hades and offer the
people the best homes in heaven,
millions of them would be too
busy and tired to entertain the
proposition; and if Doctor Pills
Smith should 60 there and offer
them free remedies for their burns
most of the people might be too
busy feeding the flames to receive
cures. When, in the course of a
few years, William Westinghouse

THANKSGIVING.
~~~~


The ripe, rosy apples are all gathered in;
They wait for the winter in barrel and bin:
And nuts for the children, plentiful store,
Are spread out to dry on the broad attic floor;
The great golden pumpkins, that grew such size,
Are ready to make into Thanksgiving pies;
And all the good times that the children hold dear
Have come round again with the feast of the year.
Now, what shall we do in our bright happy homes?
And what do you say is the very best way
To show are grateful on Thanksgiving Day?
The best thing that hearts that are thankful can do
Is this to make thankful other hearts, too;
For lives that grateful and sunny, and glad,
To carry their sunshine to lives that are sad;
For children who have all they want and to spare.
Their good things with poor little children to SHARE
For this will bring blessing, and this is the way
To show that we are thankful on Thanksgiving Day.

Poems Of Thanksgiving and praise.
THANKSGIVING.

Of those who are glad of the goods they own.
We thank Thee. Yea, that Thou hast preferred
And blessed than the common herd.
We thank Thee, part with the hearts intention,
But most, let own, with the lips convention.
eve thank Thee" Lord what selfish prayer.
Thanks while beggar's breast is bare?
Thanks that full feast is spread
While another creature is lacking bread?
Thanks that our fulfilled blood runs warm,
While starveling baby breasts the storm?
Thanksgiving The word is goddess taunt
From the "House of Have" to the "House of Want"
Until share my uttermost crust
With sinner saint, with jailed or just,
I will not clamor to God and raise
My compacent eyes-and call it praise.
Why, what am l. that Thou givest feast
Which Thou hast not shared with Thy worst and least
I look at the world and see the yield
For all from forest and mine and field,
And because have seized share, shall
Cry out Thanksgiving only cry?
Thanks? Nay, for tho am coyed, know
The taste of the hungering want. And tho
My limbs whole, can feel the crack
OF the bloody bones the torture-rack.
have looked in the pit and have not feared,
But know the shrink of the soul it scared.
Yes, yes am even you-of those
Who can not, or will not, heal these woes.
am what am, but will not be
At one with the smug-ipped Pharisee
Who praises his God for his earthly gain,
While Misery stares thru the window-pane
