Thanksgiving.

The gobble, gobble that has
been music in the air all over
the land for the past weeks has
ceased. Yesterday many a proud
handsome Turkey gave up its
like to tickle the palate of man.
Thousands of these choice birds
were sacrificed that we might
eat, drink and be merry around
the festive board. For these,
and thousands of other good,
thiAgs we have much to be
thankful for. To the Giver of
life and sustenance we should to-
day set apart at least an hour
in which to return thanks.

STEELTON. Pa. Aug. 3.-The Dory-

inclined to shirk his work. Therefore,
if the boy rebels against "petticoat con-
troll" what can be done about it except
possibly through the judge of the juve-

not be ideal; but it is better than no
control at all. If the father is too busy

An Everyday Tragedy.

Into one of the New York municipal
criminal courts was brought the other
day the son of one of the biggest con
tractors the metropolis has ever known;
a man who in his best days was wealthy
and envied; but a man who slipped
loose from every good catch of morals
and society for the reason that in his
youth he was not taught in the right
way how to hold on. Middle age now
finds him down and out; a vagrant,
penniless, friendless, hopeless. A term
in the house of correction will Keep him
out of harms way for few months.
Then this dismantled and abandoned
hulk of humanity will be cast adrift
again. and heaven knows what will be
the end of him.
This not uncommon tragedy serves
partly to illustrate DIR. Stanley Halls
remarks, which appear in one of the
current monthlies, on "The Awkward
Age" meaning the age during which
the boy comes out of childhood and
goes into manhood, and begins to feel
a mans feelings and think a mans
thoughts. DR.. Hall asserts that during
this transition period in the life of
every boy the father in particular has
an opportunity u impress true manh-
ness upon the son.
Does the father do it3 Generally he
does not, says Dr. Hall; and as a result
of this gradually increasing neglect the
American boy was never quite so wild
as now" and never were so many
young cubs so half-orphaned and left
to female guidance in school, home, and
church" And the psychologist asks
if this state of affairs is not due to "ths

Just beginning TO sense his virility
against the prim petticoat control t.
which he has been too much com

No Bridge Whist for Mrs. Taft;
Candidates Wife Passes 1t Up
Those Who Become Slaves to Society Craze Win Very
Few Votes, Is the Sentiment Expressed at
Hot Springs.
By JAMES Hay. IR.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. AIRS.
William Howard Taft has not sue
cumbed to the bridge whist craze. Al
most every other woman here loves the
game. but the wife Of the Republican
candidate has passed 1t by. This may
be because she knows what sort or q
game 4. is.
Bridge" is a woman's game. You
can gamble and gossip at one and the
same time when you play it. 1t is
called bridge because It is q peculiarly
constructed thing, through which every
character in the community is dragged
to be landed on the shores OF the ocean
OF disgrace Any character ttat can
pass over bridge" unscathed is nickel
plated. strong ia temptation, and full
OF goodness.
Bridge" arOuses two sensations. One
Is to lean across the table and smack
your partners veneered face with your
jeweled fan. lie other is to tear a
reputation into tatters. which tatters
you hang on neighboring bush, where
it waves in the breeze OF gossip until
the end Of the season.
Rubber" Never a Failure.
The game is scored principally accord
ing TO the ''hOnors" you can list on
your side, but the real winner is the
one who can air the dishonors OF her
neighbors. The rubber" Is never q
failure except when, inadvisedly, a per
son who does not gossip Is drawn into
the game. II this is done, the other
three get peevish and say such polite
things to each other that each one
knows all the others hate her
The worst thing that can happen Is
when an old lady carefully adjusts hel
lorgnette and scans a counting couple
under . distant tree on the lawn WheT
the scanning is over. the game IS en-,
riched by a remark about how short
the girls skirts are. or how long the
sessions under the tree last. This Is
the opening wedge. the time when al
fair-minded people kneel in silent pray
er and then kiss the regulations Of TWO
people gOod-by forever, or gOod-by until
they leave the place.
This does not mean that bridge
is any worse IN Hot Springs than 81
is in London, New York. or Paris
It's the same everywhere. but here the
opportunities for observing # are un.
limited. The women come here 10 get
the air. AS soon as they have had
their trunks unpacked, they go down
stairs in the bridge" nelghbOrho God
start the game and set a door aJar 50
as 10 get the air they came for. After
that, they play the game and use Ut
the air. with slight interruptions fOl
meals and little sleep.
Distinctly a Society Game.
Bridge" is a society game. After
a person has gotten into Society. SHE

The Handicap of Bad Roads.

Uncle Sam, as a farmer. pays out 10
gents for every mile he hauls every ton
OF his farm produce. John Bull and
Jacques dc France, less shrewd and
vastly less enterprising, pay from Z to
Is cents a mile. The difference for the
harvest of 1866 alone amounts to
Sl2,7O9,278. This Il the penalty
America pays every year for its bad
roads.
The average wagon load for the
twelve principal crops in the United
States is 1866 pounds. To haul that
load a mile on an excellent road with a
base of broken stone would cost the
producer cents; on such a road in
ordinary condition II cents; on a sandy
road when wet 1926 cents; on an earth
Ioad filed with ruts and muddy in
spots 80 centsj on a sandy road when
dry q cents.
a farmer who would deliberately
choose land handicapped cent bushel
on every seasons crop would be rated
half crazy by any institute which ever
met in an American court house. Let
some of them who grumble over pro
posed taxes for good roads 60 with
their wives to the sitting room window
and look out. Let them put this test to
themselves:
Let them note in which class be-
longs the road over which their wheat
and corn are hauled. Then let them
see whether or not they have volun-
tarily submitted TO a handicap which
amounts to more than cent a bushel
Oh every crop they raise-to imPris'
onment for the women folks of the
household three months in every year
to restricted school privileges for the
children; to a hampered church life; e
limited entertainment for the whole
family; to a doubling of the distance
between home and town.
That is the basis OF this whole
question Of good roads for America. AZ
bottom it is a matter Of eircumscribed
life for every American citizen, man OF
woman, adult or child, who lives in the
country. We have been a long time
realizing it. Even now it is the city
need for goods roads created by the
automobile rather than the country
need which has given life to the move
ment for better highways. Perhaps the
truth has not yet sunk in far enough tC
move US all to act. But pretty soon il
will be thoroughly understood by ow
women folks as well as our men
When that times comes, this blessed
land of ours will go about making good
roads as it goes about anything elst
when it is in eanest-in a way t,
make the worlds eyes bulge.
