ALL KINDS OF AMUSEMENT.

The qualification OF the instinct for
amusement is an important factor In
human economics Time spent IN recre-
alton balances Itself In renewed energy
for the struggle of life. II is 10 the
mind what relaxation Ia TO the physl-
cal body, and Is essential to growth and
strength. This statement, Of course,
applies only to that kind which tends
to moral development. There are many
| kinds Of amusement, and since the goal
| Of all efforts should be the achievement
OF something that is desirable and good,
the matter OF choice Is one or distinct
responsibility.
That one Of the most potent and pop
ular factors OF entertainment and edu-
cation Is the stage, Is a trite saying.
But the indifference with which the
average public sorts It's samples, Is one
OF the apomalies OF intelligence today.
The theatrical agent brings all kinds In
his case. Discrimination rests with the
public, but that Is rarely exercised. and
the result Is a rather unequal dlstribu-
ton OF benefit
Some kinds Of amusement are both
entertaining and inspiring. A drama
with an underlying moral lesson slim
ulates spiritually, while pleasing the
outward senses a comedy with a rip
ping run of fun and laughter is tonic
to over-wrought nerves, and serves
distinctly moral use In It's way. What
music means. either in concert or opera
form. every lover OF music knows, and
the various features OF legitimate vau-
deville type serve their purpos' A
Kaleidoscope OF human talent brought
from all kindreds, tongues and ma tons

INCREASING DEATH RATE.

In contradiction OF the general i'm
preston that people now live longer on
the average than their forefathers,
John V. Shoemaker contends, In The
Reader that the death rate is increas-
ing. He quotes figures to prove that
this is the case for all ages from 50
years and upward. Ever since 1900 the
Increase has been marked. we are told.
The figures show that, since the year
mentioned there has been the follow
entire country:
For people OF ages from 60 to g. z
per cent.
For people of ages from IS to So els
per cent
For people of ages from 70 TO "A, 16ts
per cent
For people Of ages from rs TO 10, per
cent.
For people of ages from so to "a, Is
per cent.
For people of ages from IS to 50. i2
per cent
For people of ages from 90 to "a, soh
per cent.
For people az ages from 95 and up.
2O1R per cent
If these figures tell the full truth and
nothing but the truth, they prove
that, Notwithstanding the wonderful
progress Of medical science and the
general understanding OF tho laws OF
hygiene. the death rate after the age
OF 60 is on the Increase. But It is
probable that more men and women
reach that age now than formerly. That
fact alone would account for more
deaths. tt Will be admitted, though,
that with less luxury and more nat
ural existence than modern life offers 10
the greater part OF civilized humanity,
the chances Of long life in health and
ylgor would be more favorable. Our fore
fathers We're not weakentd by steam
heated rooms and the nervous strain
OF existence that renders many in our
days unable to Withstand the attacks Of
diseases.

THE PRESIDENTS JOURNEY.

The trip OF President Roosevelt to
Porto Rico and Panama has revived
the question OF the propriety Of Unit
I'd States president leaving United
states territory during his term Of
Office. There Ia no precedent for go
doing. and II may be argued that the
present itinerary does not take the
President outside the United States.
since the canal zone is United states
territory. II is evident, though, that
this trip virtually breaks an old tradi-
ton. II a president can go as far as
Panama and stop on Mt Porto Rico.

his calling at the Cuban capital, for in

upon personal observations, there VIII

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
The President Names Thursday, Nov.
20, as Day to Give Thanks.

Washington--The president has is
sued a proclamation naming Thurs
day, Nov. 20, as a day of thanksgiving.
The text of the proclamation Is as fol-
lows:
A proclamation:
The time of year has come when, in
accordance with the wise custom of
our forefathers, it becomes my duty
TO set aside a special day of thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty be-
cause Of the blessings we have re-
'ceived, and of prayer that these bless
ings may be continued. Yet another
gear of Widespread well-being has
passed. Never before in our history
or in the history of any other nation
has people enjoyed more Astounding
material prosperity than in ours; a
prosperity so great that It should
arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride,
and, least of all, spirit of needless
disregard of our responsibilities; but
rather a sober sense of our many
blessings, and a resolute purpose, un.
der providence, not to forfeit them by
any action Of our own.
Material well-being, indispensable
Enough it is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. II we build
nothing upon this foundation, then our
national life will be as meaningless
and empty as a house where only the
foundation has been laid. Upon our
material well-being must be built a
superstructure of individual and ma.
tiOnal life, lived in accordance with
laws Of the highest morality, or else
our prosperity itself will, in the long
run, turn out a curse instead of a
ftIAessing. We should be both reverent-
ly thankful for what we have received
and earnestly bent upon turning il
into means Of grace, and not OF de-
sgtructlon.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday, the 29th day of November
next, as the day of thanksgiving and
aupplication, on which the people shall
meet In their homes or their churches
.devoutly acknowledge all that has been
given them and to pray that they may
an addition receive the power to use
these gifts Alright.
