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-
sible to extngush 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
broadsde against coral reef and was
smashed like an eggshell. The mate alone sue
ceeded In reaching land. all the others being
dashed to death on the jagged recipients or
drowned in the boiling surf
Daylight showed the survivor that he was
marooned on little island that was not
much more than cluster of rocks rising above
the waves. 1t was half mile wide at the wild
est part and about a mile in circumference,
and was surrounded by bristling chevaux de
frise of reefs, over which the pillows spouted
in foam and thunder. Beyond the glittering
walls of spray the desolate expanse of the
Indian ocean, with not sail or a smudge of
smoke anywhere in sight. The shipwrecked

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 it. They may be enjoying the very
best of health, but they will not admit it. They
eternally predicting disaster. They are
chronic grumblers;
They grumble at board they grumble in bed.
From the soes of their feet to the crown Of
their head.
Such spirit is a crime in this world and
age. This is beautiful world. This is the
best age of history. Every "a hours the sun
is shining upon a better, brighter, happier
earth. I'VE 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 easy and infinitely better to cul-
uvate 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 it in speech and conduct is to
enjoy life and make it blessing to the world.

and is celebrated royalty. The commissary
puts forth of its best, and the dinner is even
better than that given the soldiers on Christ
mas day Perhaps the reason is that the prop
err 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.

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
bv good luck able to kill one of the
birds with a we'll aimed stone. Being
a bit of a dandy, he carried 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
great improvement to this Thanksgiv-
ing dinner alone on a rocky islet In
the lonely Indian ocean, but the sauce
