With rare presence of mind.
Miss Ida Michael, four miles west

bic death from the sting of huge
centipede recently.
She was just ready to sart on a
drive. and took a laprobe from the
house to put in the carriage. As
she did SO a large cent;pede es-
capped from the folds on to her
bare arm, which she held perfectly
still until the insect crawled off.
The laprobe lay on the lawn the
night before, and it is supposed
the creature got into it at that
time.

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is as old as the
ages, and is one of the noblest
qualities enshrined in the human
breast, Noah Built an alter and
thanked God for the preservation
of himself and his family from
the flood. And all through the
history Of our race we read Of
thanksgiving for victory in battle,
for salvation from festilence or
famine or danger, for haryests
and for peace. ttseems as though
the universal heart recognizes in
herently a great Giver Of all good
and naturally looks up to him and
gives thanks, -
But it is over our American
thanksgiving in which we are
most interested now-the thing
which seems to sail down to us
through the years, since the Pill,
grims first gave thanks when, af-
ter their Xtst harvest in 1921,
Governor Brad ford sent four men
sgt fowling that they might af-
ter a more special manner rejoice
together" What a contrast be-
tween then and now, and how
little it would seem they had to
be thankful for compared with
what we have, but they thanked
God for it and for the hope Of
the future. N-''
This great feast Of Thanksgiv-
ing, 50 peculiarly American in its
genius, was not made to order.
It was a gradual growth. Not
every year did the New England
colonists observe it until 1880,
and in the country at large it was
only occasionally kept, and that
fop special causes, until Presi--
dent Lincoln established it as an
annual feast,
Thanksgiving is peculiarly a
home feast, a gathering Of the
families together again. Let
America preserve her thanksgiv-
ing Day for ever, a shrine before
which the fires never go out,
And as we gather around our
own good table, let us remember
some homeless or poor or unbe-
friended one. It will brighten
our own as we'll as their Thanks
giving.

All Ocean Records

New York, Oct. 1.-The Gu
harder Lusitania with practically
all the transatlantic records to
her credit arrived abeam the
Sandy Hook lightship at 1:25 a.
m. Ike time for the trip from
Daunt's Rock to the Sandy Hook
Light, the official course over
which speed trials were made,
was four days, 20 hours. The
last days run was apparently the
fastest of the trip, the giant liner
hitting up her speed to rs knots
an hour over a smooth e with
little wind to interfere with her.
With the Lusitania's trip, the
Cunard line of England captures
from Germany the eagerly sought
record for possessing the fieetes'
ship on the Atlantic. The Ham
burg-American liner Deutschland
has held the record for a number
of years.

Hines Acquitted at GOldf8ld

John Hines, charged with the
murder ofCount Constantine Pod
horsky, whom he shot and killed
in a restaurant in Goldfeld in
March, was acquitted after the
jury had deliberated for two
hours. The defense pleaded tenn
porary insanity.
On the stand Mrs. Hines told
of her illicit relations with the
Count claiming, that he had ruin
ed her while she was under the
influence of wine which he had
insisted on her drinking. After
this he held her through the
threat that if she left him he
would kill her husband.
Later she returned to her home
In Nome and joined her husband.
She told him about her relations
with the Count. After this it
was claimed Hines had been tenn
porarily insane and it was under
this claim that the defense made
their plea.
1t is the general impression in
Goldfeld that the defendant was
not acquitted alone OF the insan-
ity plea, but the fact that he had
killed the despoiler of his home.
gained him his freedom.

The New Nevada

"The Awakened Nevada" is the
title of an article by W. p. De-
Wolf in the first number Of "Op-
portunities of To-Day" a new
monthly magazine now appearing
on the news-stands.
"In Nevada" the author says,
"every man is measured by the
standard of his deeds, and action
is the chief requisite to success.
"The aristocracy of Nevada is
the aristocracy of labor" writes
Mr.. DeWolf, ''and its doors
stand Hospitality open to the
workers of the world. Pre-emi-
hence comes alone to him who
tolls, and the leaders are those
who have prospered by individu-
al effort. Each person moves
upon the broad plane of equality
and manhood, and solely.upon
himself depends success or fail
ure the price for which the labor
is well worth while, for the win
ming includes that for which men
most strive-wealth and happi-
ness"
