THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear.
Tier 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. It may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note of warning, OF 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,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, it is
not undressing 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
This year 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.
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now It
was we'll it was 50, for with a 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 r 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.
duce 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 suffic 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 ch%eerfulness 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 to con-
template with satisfaction the com.
forts Of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season of unusual en-.

CASTRO FLIGHT OF LIBERTY"
Still Retains a High Opinion
of Himself.

Gen. Castro has been talking
freely with the Santander CORE
spondent Of Ell Heraldo of Madrid.
He said that he intended to pur-
chase a country house in the village
of Solares, near Santander, where
he would remain pending further
advices from Gen. Nicholas Rolando,
the chief of the Venezuelan Liberal
party, formerly his enemy but now
his champion. That the ex-presi-
dents good opinion of himself has
not in any way suffered from his re-
cent experiences is shown by the
following declaration which he made
to the interviewer:
''My smiling eountenance, my
noble aspect, my absolute tranquility
demonstrate that my conscience is
clear and that it does not accuse me
of having done harm to anybody.
When the Versailles was nearing the
French coast a severe gale sprang
up, and many of us on board feared
disaster. But I said to them: BE
not afraid; l, Cipriano de Castro,
am with you. God cannot and does
not permit Cipriano de Castro to
perish, for he has appointed him to
be the Light of Liberty; the light
which shall blaze forth on the day
when justice shall rule the world"

THE PIGEON POST.

The pigeon post is proving a val
liable adjunct of civilization, even in
these days of fast trains and steam
ships and wireless telegraphy. The
isolated lighthouse at Maatsuyker
island is IS miles southwest from
Hobart, Tasmania, in a direct line
and 90 miles by steamer, and since
January 21, 1908, IL homing
pigeons have kept up communication
with the mainland, three being regu-
larly liberated every three weeks.
The first message left the lighthouse
at ten a. m, reaching Hobart at
1 80 p. m. The service has been
generally satisfactory, though not all
messages have reached their desti-
nation; and it probably saved the
life of an assistant at the lighthouse,
as an urgent message brought much
needed medical relief from Hobart
in IL hours.
