THE WINNING FIGHT.
By Herbert Hartmann

When you stop to think of what you've DONE
And ya'i count your struggles one by one
The times when you stood tho you wished to run
When it cost mighty lot to stick
And play the game without a trick
Tho all the While if you'd been slick,
You might have saved both time and chick.
When you measure yourself against the rest
And find that you stood the hardest test
And because of your code came out the best
You're well emitted to glow with pride.
Il your ways and your days have all been ri2h,
You've GAzGlG Hae cnIy yziuniI,ar fisxirt

does come and people realize what in
tensiye farming will do there will be
wonderment over the lost product and
foolish labor of the grandfathers who

November, oath, 1910, as a day for
Thanksgiving and prayer.
"The custom of naming day for
thanksgiving and prayer has been OBJ.
served for many years, and is one of
the most beautiful heritages of our ma
tional life 1t is therefore meet and
proper that, in the midst of our activi-

our dependence upon the Giver OF all
good things and to render to Him our
grateful thanks for the material and
other blessings vouchsafed unto us.
1--WE have been favored with boun-
tiful harvests and with freedom from
plague, pestilence and famine. Our
schools, libraries and educational IA
cilities have inspired our people. Our
agencies for fighting disease and pre-
serving the health of the people have
been active and efficient. But we
should recognize that, over and above
the power of man, Divine Being
shapes our destinies, and that His wise
and loving care has directed our steps
into the paths of peace, prosperity aud
happiness.
"On that day let US refrain from our
usual vocations and, meeting in our
homes, churches and places of wor-
ship, give thanks to Almighty God for
His manifold mercies and blessings.
Let us also remember to give aid and
comfort by word and deed to the sick,
the afflicted and the unfortunate.

Rail Road News.

Announcement has just been made
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany that its new station at Bristol,
Pa, on the change of line which has
just been made through that city will
be located on Prospect street near Bea-
yer Dam Road and between the latter
and Jefferson Street.
The station building itself will be
built on the street level and will con-
tain waiting rooms, ticket office and
baggage room. There will be stair
ways leading from the platforms on
the street level to the platforms on the
track level. Additional stairways will
provide access to the platforms direct
from the street. An entirely separate
building will be provided for express
business in order that passengers will
not be inconvenienced by obstruction
of the train platforms.
The elimination of grade crossings
on the Bristol improvement is in line
with the policy adopted by the Com
pany several years ago to do away
with all grade crossings on the New
York Division where the track is heav-
Ter than on any other portion of the
system. Including the Bristol I'M
provement the Company has, since
January, 1900, eliminated 6S3 grade
crossings on the lines of the system
East of Pittsburgh and Erie. Between
Jersey city and Philadelphia alone sS
grade crossings have been abolished in
the past ten years.
The completion of the Bristol work
will represent one of the most impor-
tant steps taken in the plan of the late
President Cassatt to eliminate grade
crossings in important cities between
New York and Washington. To ac-
complish this has involved the eleva-
ton or depression OF tracks in Jersey
City, Newark, Elizabeth, New Bruins
wick, Trenton, Bristol, Philadelphia,
Chester, Wilmington, Baltimore and
Washington.
1t is thought now that the entire
Bristol Improvement, including the
change of line around the city will be
completed about July of next year.
