A Lonely Thanksgiving

Some years ago a sailing ship bound from
New York to Singapore with oil, took fire in
the middle of the Indian ocean the day before
Thanksgiving Realizing that It was impos-
sibe to extinguish the burning oil, the captain
ordered the men to the boats, with such pro-
visions as they could carry at short notice.
The long-boat containing the captain, second
mate and ten men, got away all right, but was
never heard of again. The cutter, with the first
mate and the rest of the crew, after drifting
about in the darkness for several hours, went
broadside against coral reef and was
smashed like an eggshell. The mate alone sue
ceeded in reaching land, all the others being
dashed to death the Jagged reefpoints
drowned In the boiling surf.
Daylight showed the survivor that he was
marooned on a little island that was not
much more than cluster of rocks rising above
the waves. II was half mile wide at the wild
est part and about a mile In circumference.
and was surrounded by a bristling chevaux de
fris0 of reefs, over which the pillows spouted
in foam and thunder. Beyond the glittering
walls of spray was the desolate expanse of the
Indian ocean. with not sail OF smudge OF
smoke anywhere In sight The shipwrecked

The Habit of 7hankfulness

We are creatures of habit and our habits
express our characters.
Too many people have formed the habit Of
chronic grumbling. Nothing suits them. No
matter how beautiful the weather, they could
improve 1t. They may be enjoying the very
best of health, but they will not admit 1t. They
are eternally predicting disaster. They are
chronic grumblers:
They grumble at board, they grumble in bed,
From the soles of their feet to the crown of
their head.
Such spirit is a crime In this world and
age. This is a beautiful world. This is the
best age of history. Every "a hours the sun
is shining upon a better, brighter, happier
earth. 1--WE are the heirs of all the ages in
the foremost files of times"
We are living, we are dwelling in grand and
awful time
In an age on ages telling, to be living is
sublime.
1t is just as easy and infinitely better to Gull
tivate the cheerful, thankful spirit Gratitude
should be the habit of every life. To look on
the bright side to carry sunshine in the
heart and reflect II in speech and conduct is to
enjoy life and make Il blessing to the world

One thing is certain, however, President Taft
gives thanks for golf.
Over at Fort Myer, across the Potomac, the
soldiers celebrate Thanksgiving with football
and big dinner. The fall festival is ceebrat-
ed at every army post in the United States,
and is celebrated royalty. The commissary
puts forth of it's best. and the dinner is even
better than that given the soldiers on Christ
mas day. Perhaps the reason is that the prop
er observance of Thanksgiving day is regarded
in the light OF an order from the commander
in-chief. The Thanksgiving proclamation has
the same binding effect on the army and navy
as an order for the two arms of the service to
go forth to fight.
1t should not be forgotten, perhaps, that one
great cause for Thanksgiving this year at the
White House dinner table Is that William
Howard Taft has returned unscathed from the
longest presidential journey ever undertaken.

De preferred to the turkey, and not infreouent
~ the 'possum is preferred to both.
thanksgiving time in Washington is still q
beautiful season. The leaves on MANY of the
trees still cling, and they retain their toucb oF
autumn color. Roses are in bloom in many
sneitered places, and flowers of other kinds
are not nfrequent in the "out-of-doors" In
Iact' there Is only about one month of the
washington year in which one cannot pick
some species of flower in the open. In ordi
nary seasons the last of the roses drop from
the stem about Christmas day.
On Connecticut avenue on Thanksgiving dav
there is always parade" of the notables of
the Official circles. Connecticut avenue is one
OF the fashionable thoroughfares of the can
ltal city, and on Sundays and holidays the side
walks are crowded with people. On Thanks
giving day morning, If it is pleasant, one can
get fairly adequate knowledge of the winter
fashions from stroll down the avenue for
on that day the women of society put on for
the first time their cold weather garb. The
connecticut avenue parade" is a Washington
institution.
Just about week after THANKSGIVING con-
gress opens Most of the members stay M
home for the holiday, and then comes the rush
TO the capital. The president halls Thanksgiv-
ing day as one of rest from his message wri-
ing labor. A presidents message always is
long and In some parts II is of necessity. dull
LOT IL must deal with things which confessed
ly have no live interest excepting to the statis
tician. President Taft is not as fond of writing
messages as was President Roosevelt, and Il is
entirely probable that there is a real thanks
giving In the present presidents heart over the
fact that on one day he has ample excuse to
drop his pen.
There are great many golf clubs In the
District of Columbia. They play golf all win
ter long In this latitude, and President Taft
never misses an opportunity to go out on the
links. Thanksgiving afternoon every Washing
tonian who can, and who knows how to play
the game, starts for the club house. The pres
ident Is member of several golf clubs but IL
may be Of interest to the American people TO
know that he seldom plays on the grounds OF
the club which is considered the most fashion
able and exclusive in the country's capital.

man remembered 1t was Thanksgiv-
ing day, and the thought of all the
good things the folk at home were en-
joying increased the pangs of hun
ger and thirst. In the forlorn hope
of finding water in some rocky crew
ice he started to explore the island,
and, much TO his delight, found pool
of sweet, If tepid, water collected in
a hollow on the top of rock which
he mounted in the hope of deserving
a ship. Further on, hidden in the
coarse grass which the sea wind
combed over it, he stumbled on sea-
fowls nest full of eggs, and was also
by good luck able to kill one of the
birds with a well-almed stone. Being
bit of a dandy, he carried a silver
match box, which had kept the
matches dry, so he was able to light
a fire of dry grass and little sticks,
over which he cooked the seafowl. He
roasted the eggs in the hot embers,
and though of an oily flavor, they
were very palatable to hungry man.
Salt and pepper would have been a
great improvement to this Thanksgiv.

and sent boat to his rescue.
