The Habit of 7hankfulness

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 1t. They may be enjoying the, very
best of health. but they will not admit It, They
eternalIy predicting disaster. They are
chronic grumblers:
They grumble at board. they grumble in bed.
From the soles of their feet to the crown OF
their head.
Such spirit is 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 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 a grand and
awful time
In an age on ages telling. to be living is
sublime.
II is just easy and infinitely batter to cub
tivate 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 1t in speech and conduct is to
enjoy life and make 1t blessing to the world
The Elbert County tribune., 1909-11-18

One thing is certain, however. President Taft
gives thanks for golf.
Over at Fort Myer, across the Potomac, the
soldiers celebrate Thanksgiving with football
and big dinner. The fall festival is celebrat-
ed at every army post in the United States.
and is celebrated royalty. The commssary
puts forth of its best, and the dinner is even
better than that given the soldiers Christ
mas day. Perhaps the reason is that the prop
er Observance of Thanksgiving day is regarded
in the light Of order from the commander
fn-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.

A Lonely Thanksgiving

Some years ago a sailin; ship bound from
New York to Singapore with oil, took fire In
the middle of the Indian ocean the day before
Thanksgiving. Realizing that 1t impos-
sible to extinguish the burning oil. the captain
ordered the nen 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
broadside against coral reef and was
smashed like eggshell The mate alone sue
ceeded in reaching land all the others being
