Peruna seemingly works miracles in

how much Ee.el Keller, losing her
sight at nineteen months, really retain
ed of the sense Of sight. With Laura
Bridgman, a woman Of much less in
tellect, there was evidently little or
nothing left, even as a memory. With
her taste and smell We're very feeble
so that communication with the world
was, indeed, through a narrow pas
sage. Her sensitiveness to vibration
was so fine that without any trace of
the sense of hearing she was aware OF
the tolling of bell. But her biogra-
pher, giving us in detail the record of
the slow steps Of her education, tells
us little of what idea she was able to
form Of things. 1t is Schopenhauer

want to know Of the born blind. He
says that a man blind from birth to

The Crumpet Story.

Oliver Wendell Holmes professed to-
have profound respect for the Dutch,
possibly on account Of what he used
to call ''the European aborigines of
America" being Dutch. He gave an
aspect Of slyness to his respect which
inspired the idea that it was not un-
tempered by humor, but he maintained
that the Dutch, in spite Of their stolidi-
ty, had great deal of humor them
selves. "For instance" he would say,
"the crumpet story has Dutch orf-
gin." "What Is the crumpet story p
people would ask. And he would tell
them that it. had many variants, but
the one with which he was familiar
was about a man who was going to be
hanged and was asked whether he had
any last request to make and said he
would like to have dozen hot crum-
pets, very bnttery, because he had new
er dared to eat more than one before.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con-
stituIional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally. and acts d.
rectly on the blood and no ucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
is not a uack medicine. It. was
prescribed by one Of the best
ply sicians in this country for
years and is a regular prescrip:
tion. 1t IS composed of the best
tonics known, com bined with the
best blood purifiers, acting di.
rectly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect com bination of the

such wonderful results in curing

Lumber Cut.

Minneapolis-Nearly 5O,OOO,OO0 feet
less of logs were sawed in Minneapo-
lis this year than last. The Minnea-
polls mills closed for the season, with
a total record of from 300, 900, 900 to
320, 900, 900 feet.
The falling off in the output ID due
to the fact that since last season one
mill has been abandoned, and the
others have found difficulty at times
in securing logs. Two of the mills
have not been. running nights this
season at all.
The figures for the past five years
are as follows: 1858, 947, 900 feet in 1905;
1856, eli 900 in 1904; 442, $50, 900 in 1908;

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

It is season of gladstone tradi-
tons. Far away as are our lives from
those of the little band of colonists Of
Massachusetts, Bay who reverently es-
tablished a day 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
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 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
dCICT dlOuC.
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 day Of thanksgiving was enjoined
as religious as well as a civic obli.
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 a no less
reverent gratitude for the benefac-
tions 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.
that we live to-day. The condition
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 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 afaictions, 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 well 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.
