Carthage, His, Jan. 11.-Rev. John II.
Carmichael, pastor of three Methodist
churches in and near Adair, Mich, con-
fessed slayer of Gideon Browning, q
neighbour whom he slew with a Ratchet
ard crcmated last Tuesday night in
Rattle Run church, committed suicide
today in the toilet room of Miss Miriam
d. Hughes boarding house by cutting
his throat with a pocket knife.
The preacher left a letter to the
sheriff Of Adar, Mich, giving details
of the murder, Remembering and incin-
Grafton OF Browning and attributed the
act to self-defence and moral coward
ice because of the hypnotic influence
that Browning. an illiterate carpenter,
held over him.
While the confession is rather long
and on some points minute. it leaves
many questions regarding the tragedy
unsolvcd, admitting that the state
merts OF the clergyman are true. Some
portions of the letter tend to cause the
impression that the confession is real
ly the production of an unsound mind.
The preacher Goes not explain salts
factorily how he and Browning came
to Rattle Run church. or why both
seemed bent on keeping their presence
there secret except to say that Brown
ing wanted the minister to otticiate at
Brownings wedding that night. This
account does not explain the fact that
the clergyman evidently knew that
Browning already had one wife if not
two. Nothing more than Rev. Mr.. Car
michaels letter to the Michigan sher-
if has thus far been discovered in
Carthage tending to explain the mys-
FERROUS tragedy.
Carmichael died without regaining
consciousness. He had prepared to
leave Carthage this morning and went
to the toilet room in the yard before
starting for the railway station. There
several hours later, Miss Hughes dis
covered him bleeding and frozen. He

HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only In Proper Employment Can
There Be Found the Real
Joy OF Life.

The Joy of life is the joy of work
well done. Husbands love their wives
but, oh, their work. Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother
hood, or the particular kind of social
helpfulness in which women SO shine
burn incense OF affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight In
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
of their heart as much as their
strength and muscle and activity or
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
find themselves condemned to 1t.
They sweat and groan and SO add to
their unhappiness. They butt their
heads against stone walls and then
wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach a bit. II the work is
not to ones first liking try to make
it so. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
in you in the job, and it's dollars to
doughnuts that the job will pay you
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. In time a genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best of happiness.

Dinner Favors.


We are never too old to admire
things freely, and the hostess who de-
sires to give favors has a wide selec-
ton from which to choose for almost
any occasion. A clever person with
deft fingers can make charming cards
and bonbon boxes; the latter may be
round or square, six or eight sided,
heart or diamond shaped. Recently
| saw dainty pink satin boxes, oval in
shape, the cover bearing a photograph
on satin of the ship on which the
guest of honor at this dinner party
was to sail
For bridal affairs, the monogram of
the happy jair in gold on white satin
are very elegant. They may contain
wedding cake or bonbons. Small bas-
kets of various styles are lovely used
as nut or sweetmeat holders; some
times an artificial or real flower is
tied to the handle; for instance,
bunch of forget-me-nots, at farewell
luncheon; or pansies, for thoughts"
The wee jardinieres in brass or china
are very popular for favors, contain
ing one single flower; this prim,
stiff style of decoration is very effec-
tive. especially used with a round
table; each jardiniere contributes to
the circle that is formed by one at
each place.
Many of the new place cards are
made to stand upright, especially
when figure motif is used, and for
some bridal or pre-nuptial affairs, lit
tie dolls dressed as bride and groom
and maids, either form the center
piece under suspended wedding bell
or there is figure at each plate bear
ing the name card. Dealers furnish
bell-shaped boxes for weddings, in fact,
nearly every design is obtainable or
may be ordered.

DAY
canada's Day Of Thanks Month Ear
lier Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do. II may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, or It may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have 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
have 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, it 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
participated most generously in the
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 ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
on for nc tho total incraaoa In tha no,,u
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now II
was well IL was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering Of
the grain has been successfully accom-
piished. There have 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 100 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and it will pro-
6uce 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 sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
"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 land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be season of unusual en-
thusiasm."
