The traveller in this incident is typi-
cal of the spirit of push and advance

land of ours today.
A fine spirit it is, too. for 1t means
a chance for development for the race,
but it also includes the spirit of dis
content.
There is about us perfect con-
tagion of dissatisfaction which is nee
essary to progress, but some of us
are running a fair risk OF being
swamped in the discomfort and losing
the high aims that prompted 1t, all
because our aims and demands can
not be gratifed at once.
There are few of us who, like the
fiagman, are content with our place
in life. Most of us are striving for
more blessings of one kind or another,
spiritual, mental and worldly.
Would that Thanksgiving were held
