 We went to the famous crossroads. which Was the center of Wellngton's army. Then to the farm house of La Havr Sainte. which was held by the Allied troops and the French re- spectively.

 He quoted the old English law that private land owners were proprietors not only of the surface land they pos sessed, but the air above it to the heav- ems, in which case he contended that navigation of the air above their land would be @ trespass.
 In the case of injury to person by all airship, the evidence would indicate that | tIe injur' q party could bring action a .5ainst the owner of the ship, whether he was hit on his own land or on the land o1 someone else. He cited the instance that in one of ths Wrights flights, tho airship passed directly over the head ot the German Emperor, and 8 slight ac cident might have changed the whole history of Europe.
 In conclusion Judge Baldwin advo cated the calling of an official interna tional congress to consider international laws covering aerial navigation, and tC frame adequate international agreements on the subject.

MY PHILOSOPHY JOSEPH EMERSON TINKER

W have no title deeds to lands, No business that my care demands, No bank account, no money jar, No ships now coming ill from far, : No oil stock soaring to the sky,
 No rich relation soon to die; With resource so dlminutive
 'Tis hard to say just how l live, Net have riches i'll good health
 That I would not exchange for wealth;
 AudtI have grace to be content
 with what I have, for when lent To God by giving to the poor,
 And hung my latchstring out the door, \ took his note of promise true, That somehow he would see me through. -.And every day is wealth of air, And wealth of pictured landscape fair, And wealth of sun no gold could buy, And wealth of stars in midnight sky. The lake with all it's charm is mine;
 And wonder long horizon line Is but the boundary of lands q own, though titled by other hands. The earth is mine, the clouds are mine, And all the glorious sunsets fine; And from this store my Lord doth give, live learned that one may grandly live.

PAINLESS SURGERY

Professor Jonnesco, Dean of the Univ ersity of Bucharest, Rumania, having demonstrated the merits of his new anaesthetic, "stovaine," to British med dical men, is now on his way to this country for the purpose of interesting American physicians and surgeons ill his wonderful discovery.
 If all reports are true, stovaine is the most marvellous anaesthetic known, as operations of very serious nature can be performed by it's use with the patient fully conscious, but entirely free from pain; and better still, the use of it leaves absolutely no i'll after effects. The pro. lessor has performed hundreds of oper- ations with it, on patients ranging from 21 to 75 years of age, and in not a sin gle instance did he find the heart or respiration affected by its use.
 One thing the professor may be sure of in the United States, and that is of being given a respectful and intelligent hearing, something he came very near not getting in England. owing to the ultra conservatism of the medical fra ternity over there

THANKS SOWING

This day, which has been recognized zas a legal holiday in the New England states for more years than the Fourth ot July tor Independence Day), is HOW ob. served all over the United States, due undoubtedly to the extensive migration eof New Englanders in pioneer work throughout the whole country, but more particularly the West.
 The first recorded Thanksgiving Day -by.1egal proclamation was in Massachu- esetts Bay in 1863, and it has been ob- served, but not regularly, since that asine. President Lincoln issued National 7proclamations in 1863 and 1864. The zgoyernors of the states now issue the proclamation for their respective states, .zsnd the President issues a national pro- sslamation, the latter, however, only making the day legal holiday in the District of Columbia and in the terri ztories.
 With our ever-changing and hetero- =geneeus population the character of the day has changed. From being a day oaof religious observance in token of thanksgiving for the blessings of the year past, it has become a day almost entirely devoted to the reuniting of Eamily circles and to feasting and jollity. zand, looking at it from a secular point eof view, it would seem to be sufficient cause for Thanksgiving to be able to sshus meet with the circle unbroken
 Anyone who pauses to reflect will find occasion for being thankful. When we Hook about us and see how much worse of so many others are than ourselves, physically, mentally, or financially, we must be ungrateful for our blessings if we are not thankful. We might take a zaesson from the old lady who had suf- 2ared for years from ills of the flesh and poverty, and. in addition, had lost all her teeth except one on the upper and zone on the lower jaw. At Thanksgiving a fneighbor asked her what she had to be t9hankful for. The old lady said that while she had hard work sometimes to get food to eat, she thanked the Lord that sFaer two teeth met so that she could bite ,xhat she did get
 While we are thankful for the bless .angs vouchafed to us, let us not forget safsoSe who are less fortunate. Food and fuel from our plenty, the word of friend illness and cheer to those in sorrow and pain, and the h9nl of helpfulness to all tsn need-theso would surely be good way to show our thanks to the Maker and Father of all.
 Then. when we have done what we acouid to spread this spirit of thankful mess, may we sit down with a cheerful heart and contented spirit to oar Thanks sg{ving dinner, and may

CONGRATULATIONS

With last Sundays issue the Hartford Sunday Post began it's second year, and our old friend and former Canaanite, John Rodemeyer, celebrates the event with a fOur-verse poem of congratula. tion, of which we print below the first and fourth verses:
 It's been on earth one year to-day,
 One brief but busy year. It came, resolved to make it pay, And settled down, prepared to stay And not'be scared nor starved away,
 And, please observe, it's here. How quick the passing year is done
 How fast the weeks have flown The Post has had heap of fun; It pleases many, injures none Yes, and blocks it's making mon
 And it can stand alone.
 It IS hardly necessary to print any thing of Johns writings for people of this vicinity, as, aside from the pleasure they derive from reading his verses, it has become as much of 8 habit to do so as it is to take in the milk in the morn ing, get an armful of wood whenever one goes near the woodpile, or to turn the cat out when locking up at night be- fore winding the clock and retiring.
 Our congratulations to the Post on be. ing such a lusty yearling, and to friend John, who has been such an important factor in it's success.

A Kansas banker recently played a shrewd trick on @ farmer who was in debted to him. Thirteen years ago he loaned the farmer $1 ,000 to buy stock, taking his note therefor. The farmer failed on his stock deal and could not pay the note. Later he went farther West, made good, and returned to his old home. The note was of course out Iawed. One day the banker stopped at the farmers place and admired some fine pumpkins. The farmer presented him with two large ones. "I'll credit these on your old note, "said the banker. "All right" replied the farmer. This re- newed the obligation, the banker sued and recovered the full amount with interest.
