the old sailor returned, because Sir

The Duke and the Admiral entered
the club together. aud went into the
big smoking-room, which at this time
of the year was almost deserted
everybody was al Cowes.
They sat together ou the great
lounge which surrounds the famous
cocoa tree itself, and locked round
with troubled eyes at all the portraits
of the famous worthless and noblemen
of the past who had been members
of London's Oldest club.

''pon my soul, it's really dreadful!

"And then the Admiral answered.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear
lier Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves thar to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, or 1t may
be that the frost on the pumpkin de-
clared itself. But whatever h reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
nave been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
nave had reasons, and good ones, too,
Tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, 1T is
not embarrassing to the friends OF
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to *
press in the most enthusiastic name
their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reaso
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This ear has surpassed all others in
so far as the total increase in the coun.
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tons were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
vas nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was well it was so, for with a demand
for labor hat could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully ccom
Piished. There haze been low gen
eral averages, but these are account.
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and it will pro-
ouce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 TO SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized suffi cient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-The whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out a message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause t. con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season of unusual en-
thusiasm."

LIKE SOME PEOPLE WE KNOW

acute obstruction of the bowels for
eleven days and was then taken to the
Chamberlain S~anitarium. The boys
condition vas so serious that an inn
mediate operation was advised. The
abdomen was opened and a portion
of the bowel was brought out and
opened. A large amount of material
was evacuated. The appendix was
found to be ruptured and a stone
about the size and shape of a date
seed was removed. The bowel was

gan to improve, and last week another
operation was performed to close this
wound and to relieve the structure of
the bowel at the junction of the small

which were carefully done and now
the boy is ~convalescing rapidly.
The surgical staff at the Chamber

four hundred consecutive operations
without a death. The careful atten.
ton to every detail, with the splendid
nursing makes this possible. Over
six hundred operations have been per

have received medical aid there in
less than three years.

WHICHBALLOON WINS
PILOT BERRY or uNTvERsITY CITY
 CLAIMS PRIZE.
Declares That He Landed at Fort Payne, Ala, and Covered the Greatest Distance of Any
 Competitors.

Indianapolis. Ind. June s.--Although many conflicting reports have been re- ceived concerning the landing of the balloon Indiana. which entered the na- tional race here Saturday, 1t is believed here that the local aeronauts, Carl Fisher and Capt. G. L. Bumbaugh, have been defeated by the balloon Univer- sity City.
 The latter balloon was originally re- ported to have sought the earth at Blanche, Tenn, about s2b miles from Indianapolis. Pilot Berry wired to- night, however, that he had landed six miles southeast of Fort Payne, Ala, near Lookout Mountain. This is about s7O miles from Indianapolis, and If proven to be the correct landing place. will probably give the long-distanee prize to Berry and Mccullough.
 A. Holland Forbes had been credited with this honor in his New York. hav- ing landed at Corinth. Miss., about 3ss miles from Indianapolis.
 Mrs. Bumbaugh tonight refused to believe that her husband had landRd |. She said 1t had been his custom to nos tifv her immediately when he landed. Neither Mrs Bumbaugh- nor members of Carl Fishers family had received word from the aeronauts up to late hour tonight.

 Not Been Head By Taft
 .. Before Delivery.
 Washington, June S.-Senate and House leaders who are directing the course of the tariff bill. and who will be members of the conference on the bill after 1t has passed the Senate, took measures today to ascertain whether there was any foundation for reports that President Taft would veto the bill.
 They have reached the conclusion that there is no basis whatever for such reports, as late this evening the Pres ident told one of the Republican lead CTS that no one had authority to sug- Eest that he had in mind the veto of the tariff measure.
 It was learned today upon the high est authority that President Taft had not read the Chicago speech of Secre- tary of the Treasury MacVeagh before the Secretary left Washington for Chi cago, and that the President was not aware of the character of the speech to be made. This does not mean that the President finds fault with MT. Mac Veagh's utterances, but merely answers the report that 1t was an official view of the tariff situation, and that 1t ex- pressed MT. Taft's opinion.
 Republican leaders were inclined to attribute to political inexperience Sec- retary MacVeagh's failure to consider that any speech delivered by him like ly would be taken as the view of the administration. Many of the leaders point to the fact that the speech was delivered to an audience which sympa- thized entirely with demands for re- vision downward, but at the same time they assert that a careful reading of the speech would indicate that 1t had been misconstrued in many quarters.
