Americas Future

What about the tramp, tramp, traIIclo. the childhood and yout.: Of this nation, twenty million' in
 strength, that have made these October daJ echo to the revellle of the schUol bell, the most signv | Ificant sound of the twentieth cen- tury?
 Nations armed to the teeth have po.1.ed t) AD'crica's standing ar my and smiled in derision, but nothing but eu.ogy can they, have to this other army marching daily to the music of civilization and patriotism.
 The force of arms-what si it compared to the force Of brain and soul? Who will compare a steady trigger finger and a keen sight along g,eaming barrell to a steady hand at the throat of de- sire and a keen vision on the prob- lems Of right and wrong?
 America's future lies not in the pathway of the arsenal, but par- allel with the foot path of the lite l-e Ecu SCHOOL UOuSt.
 Americas star Of hope for right eOusness, preeminence among na- tiOnS stands there.
 Americas dead.iest foe of today turks in the still. Note what Dr. McNichol of New York said not
 long since of the child's inherh- tance from drinking parents. So to the schools of temperance hosts must look for their best recruits. From the ranks of American youth the liquor power hopes to fill up it's ranks daily dep.eted by drunk ards deaths. The tug of war is on but the school marm, God b.ess her, has strong hand in the strug g.e. Behind her is the strong arm Of the law saying that the truths about the evil effects of intoXi- icants and tobacco must be taught and behind the law is the Women's Christian Temperance Union, whose every heart beat is for the protection of innocent childhood and to make sale paths for their little untried feet.
 We are sure that the teachers of Prescott are doing their duty along this line. Oh, for MT. Dunaway or some such viri.e man at the head Of every school in the nation! The feet Of the young man and maiden would not only be keeping step to the holy principals of righteousness but their sous would be attuned to the music of the angels.

An Explanation.
decline of ThanISsgixiug

There has been for several years past
a rapid decadence in the observance in
this country of sentimental holidays, both
secular and religious. The secular OBJ
servance of Labor day, Decoration day,
the ODD of February and the Fourth of
July and the religious observance of
Thanksgiving day, Christmas and Easter
have declined constantly for long time,
but in most marked manner for the last
ten years. There has been no disposition
to abandon these days as holidays, but
they have been gradually turned into days
of recreation and sport.
Some of the elderly people regard this
change with pain. When the veterans OF
TO races, football and picnics they heave
a sigh, and when old-fashioned New Eng
land Christians see the way in which
Thanksgiving day is prostituted to the
same amusements they consider it nothing
less than desecration.
In the case of Thanksgiving day, which
has such tender social and religious asso-
Citations, who can blame the patriarchs
for shifting on their breasts when they
the year their minds wander back to the
neat little village in which they were
born. They recall not only the bounteous
feast that was spread, but the loving
family reunion, with its joyful and its
sadder notes. They hear the tolling of
the bell for the hour of worship. they see
the little church crowded with devout
worshipers and they hear the long and
earnest thanksgiving sermon. 1t has all
vanished like the baseless fabric of Wis
ion and left not a rack behind. How can
they be anything but sad?
While younger people may not be able
to regard the change in the light of sacri-
lege. nobody can well doubt that society
and human nature are the poorer for the
desuetude of these sentimental holidays
The feelings of patriotism inspired by
some of them, the filial and fraternal af-
lection kept alive by others and the relig-
ious sentiments aroused by others consti-
tute a distinct loss. The substitution of
various sports and a day of dissipation is
a bitter mockery of the elevated enjoy
ments which used to mark these occasions.

TED's STORY OF THANKSGIVING.

We had all sat down to dinner on that glad
Thanksgiving Day
There were uncles, aunts and cousins who
had come from far away
But before he carved the turkey grandpa
turned TO little Ted;
Can you tell us why we celebrate Thanks
giving Day = he said.
Now Tel was only six, but ne knew the
story WELL
And he drew himself up proudly, for twas
one he loved to tell.
The Pilgrims wished to worship God the
way that they thought best.
But the king said they must go to churcn
along with all the rest.
80 they fed across the ocean and they
came right over here;
Twas just as cold as could be@twas the
winter of the year;
And our country then diEerent, ana
OF course there was no dock,
so the whole one hundred OF EN- mad 10
land on Plymouth Rock
1T was such a hard, cold winter that they
died off thick and fast.
But finally il was over and the spring hau
come at last;
And when the Pilgrims gathered In their
harvest in the fall.
They felt so very happy, they were thank
full, one and all,
and they thought they'd set apart day in
which to praise and pray,
And they also had a feasting which they
called Thanksgiving Day.
And that Is why we keep IL when our
CROPS are gathered in,
Because We, too, are thankful to have nlled
each loft and bin.
And I'm thankful to the Pilgrims because
they made the day,
For l like a good big dinner and time to
romp and play"
And when our Ted had finished, THAT was
well told,' grandpa said,
And the aunts and dnces shouted. Here
three cheers for little Ted"

HOW TO SELECT A TURKEY.
Get a Young Bird from Vermont If
You Can-The Best Pumpkin.

Uet ~ nOung Bird from Vermont II
You Can-The Best Pumpkin.
Just because the Presidents turkey
comes from Rhode Island don't jump to
the conclusion that Little Rhody turkey
is the only kind to buy" said a Center
marketman the other day. ''Of course it
sounds well to say that your bird is
cousin to the Presidents bird, but just
as good turkeys come from Vermont and
Michigan as from Rhode Island.
ITO tell the truth. the majority of
Thanksgiving birds are raised in those
two States and are sent to Rhode Island
just before Thanksgiving to be fattened.
They could be fattened just as we'll at
home, but Rhode Island reputation is
worth 5 cents a pound more.
IF you're wise, though, you'll ask for
Vermont turkey. for then you'll get a
bird just as good, just as fat as the
Rhode Island grand, but you won't be
taxed for the Rhode Island reputation.
Another thing. Don't shy so at a
frozen turkey. 1 have eaten turkeys that
have been frozen for months, and you
could not tell but what they were fresh
turkeys.
And don't insist on your turkey being
too fat, if you want a young, tender
bird. 1t is too early in the season for a
young turkey to be fat. The proper thing
to ask for is a young tom turkey.
If the clerk is very anxious that you
take a fat turkey, get suspicious. Re-
member. too, that a pretty looking bird
is not always the tenderest. Often dis
reputable specimen is the sweetest and
tenderest. And, of all things, be sure to
get on the good side of the clerk.
IF you want the best Thanksgiving
pumpkin pie you ever tasted buy the
small pumpkin of exceedingly reddish
color. Run your hand over it to see if it
is fine grained. The big yellow pumpkins
look beautiful. but the small red ones
have them beaten a mile for flavor
Now, if this pie is made properly,
with the pumpkin about seven-eighths of
an inch thick, with little spice. and baked
so that a notified yellow and brown glaze
appears across the top, pop it into the
refrigerator as soon as it has cooled
little and let it freeze. lie. it freeze stiff,
and you'll have the most delicious pie you
ever tasted. "-Washingto Post.
