when they are most impressionable 1t is also I'M
fortunate that a man of the persuasive power pos
sessed by Mr. Clemens is too frequently able to per-
suade young boys that to win the respect of their
elders they must begin by being ruffans, liars and
toughs, to the limits of their talents From the
standpoint of the heroes of these books the boy who
has been well bred and trained must get rid of all
ideas of decency and decorum before he is fit to be
the associate of the ideal boys Mr. Clemens chooses
for his heroes. If father finds "Tom Sawyer"
or any book of the tom Sawyer" class in his
house. he should take it with the tongs and fling it
into the fire. 1t is more dangerous thing to have
in his house than a tarantula or a white scorpion.
Mark Twain according to the statement of the
boy murderer's father in Louisville is party to
the crime of the youth and to his probable execu-
ton. But push the inquiry further. How many

fore the throne of grace and huInbly thank GOO
that we may realize the wisdom which has guldeo
us through a wear of adversely, and has given US
strength to work on and on, bearing up under what
has seemed to us to be evil, and gaining strength
of character and terrifying us in the faith which
much forever be our guide in all earthly things
Unless we can observe Thanksgiving day IN some
thing of this spirit, the annual celebration must
necessarily lose much of its significance, devoid OF
all thought upon which the celebration was found
ed, and become formality.
1t is probably most natural that worldly pros
perity and bouneous harvests should give us cause
for thankfuness yet these are most trivial things
in comparison with the blessings which our Divine
Lord causes to be bestowed upon His children. If
we give thinks in return for blessings received care
fully gauging our thankfulness by estimate of
the value of the blessings, will surely miss all
the spiritual significance which should guide us In
celebration of the day. Such a celebration
would partake too much of commercialism, and
would be unworthy of great nation of Christian
people Rather should we strive for an under
standing of what God is to the word-the maker,
the ruler-in whose love we shall gain everlasting
life. We should be thankful for the thousands of

and spiritual influences which are at work in the
world, for the great books which record the
thoughts of men, for the great thoughts which He
inspires in us, for the many helps which come to
us in difficulties and tide us over the rough
places. And church and its glorious tradi-
tions-how can we adequately express our thanks
for these! The significance of Thanksgiving day
is in danger of being lost unless we look upon the
day as something more than day on which to re-
turn thanks for the blessings of prosperity.
And the spirit which should animate the nation

alone. Every day is rightly day of Thanksgiving.

sarlly dwarfed by lack of knowledge as to why we

USEFULNESS OF AGE.

Some time ago investigation was inaugu-
rated IN one of the departments of the government
at Washington to discover what quality and guam
| tlty OF work was performed by men of VARYING
ages 1t assumed in the beginning that the
older men in the service would suffer from such
an investigation, and that it would be discovered
that the work was done by the young blood. while
the older heads gathered in the pay. That such was
not the was the result achieved by the invest
CATION Instead, 1t was found that the older clerks
did more and better work than the younger clerks
and that the women, whose pay it is most natural
to suppose is the least, were on a par with the
older men clerks The younger clerks. it was dis
covered, could do more work under pressure thouoh
pressure is seldom applied in Washington. and
their work invariably less to be depended upon
than the work of the older men. For all-around
efficiency and good work. the older men had all the
better of the argument
Although the followers of the Osler idea find
small consolation in the results of the investioa-
tlon, the younger men of the country need not be
discouraged. There is plenty of work for both old
men and young men to be DONE and it is likely the
government will continue to employ both. The idea
that men outive their usefulness at fftv wears or
any other age, Is nonsense. In some lines of en-
deavor, where physical activity is of first impor-
lance, age is undoubtedly handicap. The posi-
lions of fremen, policemen, army officers or men.
and any others which require bodily activity. nat
urally are not filled by old men, in these lines. lust
as IN prlzetghtlng age is handicap hard to over
come. But in clerical positions or in anv posi+ion
where the work requires the Judgment of expert
ence age is no handicap; indeed, it is the expert
ence OF age which makes for efficiency. The in
vestigation at Washington seems to make an arbi
trary age limit after which effective service cannot
be rendered very poor rule. Some positions can
only be satisfactorily filed by men whose advanced
years have made them steady, and whose expert
ence has ripened their judgment until it is all but
infallible.

Harper, the Canadian poet, and not one of his

His "Battle of the Plains" completes a trilogv on
the romantic history of Quebec, and is Homeric in
its setting and vivid portrayal of pathetic and stir

his "Champlain," the poet with superb mastership
of metaphor and trope called back the life of the
ancient city and for the edification and adnira-

the stirring scenes of those fascinating days He
portrayed with startling animation the courage

the devotion and sacrifice of the Franciscan and
Jesuit missionaries, and the grace refinement
charity and gentleness of the mothers and daugh-
tiers of the noblesse and the habitant
His latest work, "The Battle of the Plains IS
a threnody in which he pictures with eloquent ami
nation the scenes and incidents coeval with the
siege of Quebec, 1859, the fight on the Plains of
Abraham, between the English and French forces
and the glorious deaths of the valiant Wolfe and
the chivalrous Montcalm.
What an example of Christian faith and resig-
nation was the death of Wolfe:
"Now God be praised" his last words came,
