no time for the crossing Of thin
hands, the bringing of flowers and
the saying of the tenderest words that
lips can utter. The procession would
be choked IL the grave offered no out
let. 1t is the grave that keeps the
way open for the ceaseless coming
and going. Yet the coming is asso-
ciated in the mind of fl ckerng hope
and pain with joy, and the going has
all to itself the emblems of mourn
ing. There is very little that any
body knows, except that there is for
every one here and there the touch
of love, itself mysterious, coming as
a hand out of the sky, be it radiant or
overcast, giving life ut birth and
death. What would the world do
without funerals? Who can answer
that? They mark the time when
young and old sleep well; the time
when the long way forecast is short
ened, and when the long way, with It's
bitter and it's sweet, is ended finally.
They bring to all, whose eyes reflect
the light of love, visions OF peace,
with all care gone, with all pain BAN
ished, with all the fret and worry OF
mortal life removed by last flicker
ing beat of the heart-removed from
them who lie there and put .afioat to
lodge somewhere with life remaining.
The burden is all for these who sleep
to wake; and where love has most to
plead the weight is heaviest. SO 1t is,
at the funerals, there are b1rths-a
better word, maybe, is resurrectlons.
There are the sweetIy Solemn songs,
the prayers, the feebly spoken words;
and there are the eloquence ana
pathos of unuttered and unutterable
language 1t is caught IN the pressI>
ure of hands, it is seen in the pic
lures of faces, it is seen thru the win
dows of the soul, moist as in summer
morning. At the funerals the rich and
the poor, the proud and the loWly, come
to a common level making the flowers
of any season their tokens. with the
strength and the weakness OF all unit
ing to set up again and again the
brotherhood of man. Day by day anc
hour by hour the portal opens to thou
sands who enter and come not again,
leaving multiplied Thousands behind to
wonder and to weep. The grave Is
shadowless because of its darkness
and vet out of it's depths come the
light and warmth to noulish the SYM
pathy. the gentleness. the love, OF an
mankind. What would the world be
without funerals? 1t would be parch-
ed and dry and fowerless.

occurs. In nearly all passenger cars
at this season of the year. are light
ed lamps, all ready to set fire to
wrecked train. any time from p. M,

actment we can. if we cloose, end these
two frightful causes of an enormous
loss of human life. We can compe!
railroad companies to light their cars
by electricity. and to heat their cars
by steam. We can go further and
compel every railroad company in the
United States to use only steel cars
for passenger traffic. 1t is only a mat
ter of dollars and cents for the cor
poration. only a matter of public SEN
timent on the part of the public to
compel all railroads to do obligatory
what the Pennsylvania railroad COM
nany is doing voluntarily. Six hum
dred steel passenger cars are to be
built for the Pennsylvania railroad in
the next year. Space for $50 cars has
been reserved with the American Car
and Foundry Company and fifty cars
will be constructed at the Altoona
shops of the railroad company. The
total cost is estimated at 100000.
The order to the American and Foun-
dry Company will be divided so as to
include coaches. baggage. express and
mail cars. The company has also or
dered twenty-five new freight engines.
These will be built at the company's
shops at Altoona.
OF course it is hard on the railroad
companies to compel them to build
passenger cars at a cost of $4,000

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The boys and girls are on the way
home today. Back to the old home, the
houses where they were born and
father and mother and each other. 1t
is the homecoming festival. Perhaps
that is why Thanksgiving day is the
most generally observed holiday OF all;
it embodies the homing instinct, the
attraction that brings the scattered
particles of the family together again.
Then, too, it is so wide, so catholic, SO
entirely outside of creeds and cults and
denominations, and all that make men
intolerant of each others opinions
and beliefs. It's religion touches the
one point on which all religions agree
to the Giver Of all good
gifts. It deals directly with the per-
sonaI relation of the individual with
God as a father and benefactor. When
the boys and girls turn toward the Ola
folks and the old home today they turn
also toward the Supreme Father. Few
men and women approach Thanks
giving day without sense OF their de-
pendence upon Him and OF gratitude
for blessings bestowed and punishment
earned but withheld.
H Much there is always for which TO
be thankful This years Thanksgiving
! day comes at the closing of year OF
80 r;o1 y,rncY,ar}tv and
with the promise of an unexampied
year to. follow. We are rich in produc-
ton. Prices are good. Confidence
rules. We are hopeful and happily
thankful as a people. Much remains
to be amended but we have made
grand beginning to amend much.
Abuses and graft and injustice exist
but the mighty purpose of the people
has been announced more plainly in
the past year than ever before. we
are seeing and thinking and above all
acting. Let us be thankful peo-
pie.
Let us be thankful for health, for
health is the keystone OF happiness

than, that of self-sacrifice.
III Let us be thankful that we have suf-
fered, for none who have not suffered

TO OBSERVE THANKSGIVING.
rIrnrna Herald |

i
The last Thursday in November IS
the day set apart by this great country
of ours (tiese grand and glorious IN
tied States) for Thanksgiving day.
a day wherein every man. woman AMI
child should bow the head in prayer
to our Maker for the multitude OF
blessings which He has seen fit to be-
stow upon each and every one or US,
tho wicked and sinful we may
have been all of our lives. He has
been good to the sinner as we'll as to
the saint. he has caused the rain to
fall upon the unjust as we'll as the
just, and yet how far we fall short or
our duty to our Maker. A great
many people certainly misconstrue
the object and purposes of Thanks
giving day. There are some who with
gun and dog take to the field to shooE
the innocent and unsuspecting quar-
or dove: many others, for any kind or
sport. fun or frolic, amusements OF
any nature, any thing but the real
purpose for which this day was in
tended. Some few have different
view and these will remain at home
and talk and discuss their neighbors,
their faults and habits. not for mo-
ment do they speak of the good traits
of these friends and neighbors, but
gossiping and tattleing seem to be the
ruling enjoyment of the day. Then
there is a class who well know the
object and purpose of Thanksgiving
day and this class tho small, yes,
very small will respect this good day
and spend 1T as the day should be.
A few of these good people Will
meet in their holy sanctuary and there
lift up their voices in prayer to their
Master for many blessings and COM
forts showered upon them and theirs.
This class of people are few and FAR
between, yet the good Lord will near
and answer their prayers. My dear
young men stop and reflect e'er you
desecrate this great and good day.
Celebrate it as it should be and as it
was intended to be, a day of prayer
and thanksgiving to our good Master
for his goodness and kindness to US
thru all our lives. AS the day
rolls round we oft times reflect, when
we see the youth of the country pre-
pairing for wicked and" sinful sport
that he intends to participate in, how
greatly the meaning of this good day
is misconstrued. Turn over new
leaf. young man, in life's history and
vow to do so no more. but instead as
semble with those who do know and
who will always be found doing the
right thing at your church, and there
in humble submission to His will.
offa, I'M to yo,,r pood Master n prayer
for his blessings.
Do not desecrate this good day IN
the wicked and sinful way that you
have heen doing in the past, hold
this Thanksgiving as a holy day.

AcALL FOR AMERICAN WOODS.

Wood and manufactures of wood are
forming constantly and rapidly in
creasing share of the exports of the
United States. The total value of wood
and it's manufactures exported in the
nine months ending with September,
1906 exceeded by 33 per cent those
Of the corresponding period of last
year and aggregated, for the nine
months, no less than SO million dollars.
If to this are added the shipments OF
this character to the noncontiguous
territory of the United States, not now
included in our foreign trade figures,
the total value of wood and its manu-
features leaving our ports in the nine
months in question will aggregate 6l
million dollars, or at the rate OF III
million dollars a year. A decade ago,
in the fiscal year 1896, the total value
of wood and it's manufactures ex-
ported was practically 80 million dol
lars. and in the fiscal year 1906, was,
in round terms, So millions, and If to
this are added the shipments to nom
contiguous territory the total, in round
terms. would be II millions. The in
crease in the single year 1906 over
1905, was II million dollars in the
shipments to foreign territory.
Practically the whole world is ask
ing for American wood and its prod
ucts. Even of logs and sawed and
hewn timber" the total exports for the
fiscal year 1906 were 10 1-3 million
dollars, against 1-3 millions in 1906,
and the shipments of the material in
this crude form went to not only all
of the principal European countries,
but to most of the countries of South
and Central America, Australia, Phil
ippine Islands, Japan, and even Africa
The value of this class of wood, name
ly, logs and sawed and hewn timber"
exported to the United Kingdom in
1906 was 51a million dollars against 3
millions in 1896; to Germany IL mill
ions against 1 million in 1896; to
Netherlands ] 1-3 millions against "
million in 1896; to British North
America nearly " millions; to Mexi-
co a million; to Italy practically l
million; to France y million; to Cen
trail American States u million, and
to British Australasia over 100000 in
1906 against $4,000 in 1896
The largest value of this class Of
exports is found in the two groups
designated respectively, as boards,
deals, and planks," and "joists and
scantling,' the bulk of this being
boards, deals, and planks," and there
fore, class of merchandise popularity
designated as lumber" OF this the
expectation in 1906 was over 20 mill
ion dollars, exclusive of that sent to
our noncontiguous territory, or over
80 millions in all, and it went not only
to the principal countries of Europe
but to Mexico, Central and South
America, Cuba, and the other West
Indian islands, the South American
States, China, Hongkong, Philippine
Ielands, British Australasia, British
North America, and smaller quantities
to Africa and Oceania.

These are times when a man can place

prove his worth by his income. Corn

mans worth, gagged in dollars and
cents at about $4,000. Any young
