of the day The ones who are alone Or
peculiarly situated often get their own
full share Of Thanksgiving cheer by
thought for others.
Children ought not to be defrauded Of
the helpfulness of the truly thankful
spirit Talk things over with them before
the day arrives Recall not only the ma
terial comforts which often claim the chief
thought but the love of parents and fam
lily friends, the kindnesses of teachers,
Sunday school teachers, pastor, their play
mates, the protection given us all by the
town, state and national government.
All civic and public Improvements should
be appreciated by those who share their
benefits. Why not be thankful for all
these and many other blessings?
Table oicloth has many uses. If put
on with a stiff paste it will cling to the
wall like paper. Around the sink, the
stove, and kitchen table, it will last and
look well for years. If ii cupboard is to
be built in the kitchen, before fitting in
the shelves, paste table oilcloth to the
back and side walls. The shelves them
selves may be covered in the same way,
and are easily kept clean.
All of the dress-pattern makers include
patterns for muffs and stoles, which are
readily made up at home from the hand
some woven materials so much in use and
which SO closely resemble fur.
Bow knot effects in feathers and furs
are among the latest styles in hat trim

1t is not necessary to buy an expensive
apparatus in order to improve by the very
best physical culture systems. A good
teacher is better by far. The great trou-

learned them.
All the little accessories of dress are
now to be had in the vivid shades, bows,
bags, hosiery, and wells come in bright
ptnks, puppies, greens, and blues.
4 novel idea for some would be to make
individual pies at this season. They may
be made and baked in the round muffin
tins. The effect is very pretty.
Handsome brocades are much used under
very sheer fabrics for waists.
The very popular thing in covers for
cushions, cases, etc, for the dresser is
linen, hand embroidered, which may be
removed, washed, and kept perfectly clean.
A thought for each day but more par
ticularly for next Thursday:
Not only for the earth's rich gifts,
Strewn thick along our way,
IJar Looks of InvalinasS
We thank our God today
But for the Spirits subtle growth,
The higher, better part,
The treasures gathered in the soul
The harvest of the heart. Selected.

described as priceless possessions and all
sorts of inducements are held out to at

lands. A favorite device is to set many
thousands of slips or cuttings of fruit
trees on common range lands incapable OF
producing anything better than sage
brush, and another is to offer to the I'M

Here is a rather remarkable statement,
considering that it comes from the Bur-

Mr.. Gates, who has been discussed
in connection with the governorshlp,
is being pressed by certain Franklin
county interests to state his position,
BUT HE is UNDER OBLIGATION

The Vermont Judges.
Hartford Courant. ]

Npul ditsJ
The Rutland Herald, which is not con-
WINGED that there was necessity for in
creasing to five the number of judges of
the Vermont supreme court, prints the
table prepared by the publishers of the
National Reporter, showing the average
number of opinions per judge written in
the various state supreme courts in 1908.
Kentucky heads the list with $50 decis-
ions per judge, and Mississippi comes
next with ll9. In Georgia the number
was Ill. and in Arkansas it was l03
In no other state did the average reach
the hundred mark. For some of the states
the numbers given are: Connecticut, %;
Massachusetts,, 50; Rhode Island, 81;
Maine, IL; New Hampshire, IS; Vermont,
IS; New York, "a The Herald thinks
that with 80 states whose judges hand
down more decisions per individual than
those of Vermont, it cannot be said that
the latter are overworked, but it admits
that perhaps the only comparisons fair
to Vermont are those with Connecticut
and Massachusetts,.

truthfulness

Battle-scarred he may be getting but
his candidacy goes marching on. Every
once in a while he has to stop to take a
fall out of some would-be political icono-
clast. but these delays merely serve as
breathing spells for Uncle John Abner
Mead. We hold no brief for the lieuten-
ant-governor and are not yet sure he is the
man of our choice, but it does please us
to see the progress his candidacy is max
ing in view of the fact that almost all
the machine politicians are lining up
against him. We would suggest, how
ever, that the man from Rutland place
restraining hand on those over-zealous
newspaper supporters who are trying to
make capital out of his connection with
the last legislature. 1t can't be done.

The killing of about $500 deer in Yer
mont during the open season ought to re-
lieve the assault upon the beans and cab
bages very materially. The slaughter of
over 1000 does is not thing of which to
be proud. The Journal does not believe
that conditions demanded such action and
favors the repeal of the doe law at the
earliest rtunity.-Montpelier Journal.
In other words, you think the state
would better raise deer than apples?

The Brattleboro Reformers opinion is
that Senator Gibson has made consider
able progress by securing the disapproval
of the Waterbury Record. Gibson has,
at least, something to say, something to
stand for, the proposal of direct primaries
having the right to full and sincere con-
sideration by all, not an offhand dismissal.

Not all of us will have roast turkey,
cranberry sauce, and plum pudding for
dinner Thanksgiving day. Many will sub
stitute nice large chickens. Still Others
may serve a roast. A good dressing Is
easily made from dry bread crumbs, or
crackers, seasoned with salt, pepper, sage,
and butter, chopped while pouring over
all boiling water as needed. Pack INTO
and serve with any roast. In baking IT
should be set into another baking pan and
tightly covered or covered and put into
pan of water in the oven to keep from
burning and drying too much.
