nHANKSGIYING.

Roasted chestnuts, well-cooked
turkey, the tawny pumpkin pie, and
the swollen larder are playful sym
bols of the holy day, the purpose of
which Is to bid defiance to oncoming
winter. Men make them a fire, and
heap the table and gather their
friends that they may voice their un-
concern for the sullen months just
ahead Thanksgiving Day is the stir
rup-cup to the long journey. We
rejoice that we may rise and march
again. Thanksgiving Day is the scar
let banner that we throw out to the
November winds. We accept the
challenge OF winter. the rigors of un-
lovely climate, the gathering of snow
drifts. Frozen and wind-whipped
and driven 10 cover, we make of
mans natural enemies the orchestral

and listen to the north wind driving
down the street as to stringed instru-

AN APPRECIATION

II Is only when public attention is
directed by a venal and corrupt press
to an official like Judge Thomas p.
Cook, of the Third judicial district,
and he is seen in contrast with those
around him, that his true nobility is
appreciated. When the Louisville
Herald dared to criticize his methods
Of pursuing criminals in the Black
Patch, 1t was not aware of aspersing
the character OF the only circuit
court in Kentucky that is opened
with prayer.
II may be true that the smoke
from smouldering tobacco hangs like
. pail above the red glare of burn
Ing cabins and barns in the counties
OF the Third judicial district; but the
action Of the Galloway county grand
Jury in iniicting the Herald, to para
phrase the national anthem, "gives
proof through the night that our
court Is still there"
Arson and murder may be having
their day; Kentuckians' backs may
be striped with hickory club; hui
man liberty may be curtailed and or
ganized outlaws may dwell secure in
every community; but their conduct
only emphasizes by comparison the
Christian piety that marks the de-
meanor of Judge Cook. He has not
done any Of these things. The CAL
loway and Lyon county grand juries.
TO which ne himself referred rumors
Of his alleged sympathy with the
night riders, failed to return indict
ments, and the Galloway grand
Jurors even went so far as to declare
they did not believe a word OF the
rumors. While many of his neigh
bors in the district have been riding
the pixies at night, whipping limo
cent citizens. shooting into their
homes add burning their property,
Judge Cook has sat virtuously upon
the bench. an example in well doing.

ties of his district than in any other

blame, because he happened to be

community that harbors 20 many
lawless characters? In his charge to
the juries he has been unbridled in
his denunciation of all forms of
wrong-doing. If there have been
night riders on the juries, he did not
pace them there. II is true he Sc
lected the jury commissioners. and
he has been criticised unjust,y in

THE GREATEST OF THESE.

Perhaps, without consideration,
the average citizen thinks the city's
duty has been performed when il has
provided a warm. well equipped hos
pital with a competent medical stan
for the sick poor OF the city. But the
doctors know how much sick people
need kindly ministration, cheerful
surroundings and interest TO take
their thoughts away from themselves.
All of these things are. included in the
term nursing, and yet they are
things a hospital, not endowed, can
not hope to give the patients.
None need these little attentions
more than the poor. They have not
the kind friends to minister to them.
Their families are not able to pro-
vide comforts and delicacies. People
removed from familiar surroundings
to a bare hospital ward sometimes
are oppressed by their environments
and the uncompromisingly profess
sional atmosphere of the place.
Flowers, books and a pretty view
outside; a light. airy, sunny room in
which to lounge away the days of
hasten the time of full
recovery and more--they stimulate
the mental and moral faculties, they
impress on the mind OF the invalid
the true relationship between beauty,
cleanliness, and right living at an
hour when his mind Is receptive and
responsive.
People OF Paducah could support
no humanitarian project that would
be more beneficial than the Hospital
league proposed by the good women
of the city There are many projects
launched nowadays that are futile
and the laughing stock OF those who
understand the circumstances; but in
this project the hospital board and
the physicians are in hearty sympathy
and the league will never attempt to
interfere. with the vested authority
or act without its sanction.
To touch human soul with kind
ness; to show those poor people.
lonely in their isolation and wretched
in the knowledge that their illness
is depriving someone dependent on
them of sustenance. that there is
in this great world besides
the pitiless charity that heals thel
physical man and wounds him deeper
than any surgeons probe can ever
sound, is the mission of this society.
Riverside hospital is an institution
that never has fallen under the bale
ful influence of politics. II is con-
iucted chiefly by the physicians Of d.
the city, who give their time to the
charity wards, and it will be made an
still more deserving OF the
public's pride by this new movement. :
Its grounds and surroundings need
much improvement. There Is a hol-
ow back OF it that eventually must !,
be constructed into a park. This is
another feature the women can look
after.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, Nov. ar. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says;
Gains are now almost universal,
each week SURPRISING its predecessor
in volume of trade, while manufactur
Ing plants increase active capacity
and confidence is finding expression
in extensive plans for the future. AT
many points seasonable weather has
stimulated demand for winter goods
and there Is a gratifying change for
the better in regard to the prompt-
ness of collections. Some sections
are backward. however, either be-
cause the temperature continues TOO
high or on account of the failure to
make the crops promptly. Frequen'
evidence of depleted stocks in the
hands of dealers are noted, especially
when shipping departments work ove-
time in order to make sufficiently
prompt deliveries.
Moderate advances in prices OF pig
iron and coke indicate the trend of
conditions In the steel industry. Bes-
semere pig has risen to SIG at valley
furnace, which is still 81 below the
position at this time last year. One
of the best features is the disposition
to contract for requirements mp to
July /, 1909. although somewhat bet
ter terms are asked on these forward
deliveries than for spot or early ship
ment. Thus for there is little inquiry
for standard steel rails. although the
mills expect to close the year with
some good orders on hand.
Further improvement Is recorded
in the primary market for textiles
sales increasing and prices hardening
On the normal basis OF supply and
demand II Is becoming possible to
Justify moderate advances in quota
tons because production has been cur
tailed so long that deliveries are hard
TO obtain. Export trade has been
benefited by a substantial sale o.
standard drills to India at 6Ac the
same price that has prevailed for
some time.
Mems wear AGENTS report good
demand for heavy weight woolens TO-
immediate delivery, indicating the
healthy depletion Of stocks that was
anticipated. II Is evident that scar
city OF woolens and worsteds will be-
come more OF a feature as the season
progresses.
Shoe manufacturers exhibited mucn
Intelligence by anticipating future
needs. operating freely in the leather
market. Demand for spring shoes Is
well maintained.
Local jobbing trade expands. al
though holiday goods are not yet TAX
ing to any extent. All grades OF
leather have advanced this week
from 1c per pound for sole to &c in
betting butts The betting manufact-
urers' meeting on Tuesday agreed on
an advance of 10 per cent in prices
OF all finished belts. Hides are also
stronger. but the upward tendency Of
packer stock may be checked by the
increasing receipts of cattle.

to be filled by the lowest winds OF po-

such positions as superintendent OF

unworthy OF men OF education and
social standing. whereas they should
be regarded as positions which should
demand abilities of the highest order

II have grown to feel the same way
about the positions our women are
filling. Instead OF being regarded as
only fitted for women or ordinary po-
sition and intellect, all positions such
as experimenting reformatories, ma
irons, and women factory inspectors
work should be offered TO women OF
position, education, refinement, and
independent means. Then they are
above the tempeation OF graft or the
fear of losing thei~ position. Again,

manufacturers, and no mill or factory
