From the Chicago Tribune.
OF the making of automobile there

Picture of Thanksgiving Day
LOO Years Age
AND WHAT IS TO BE
world Has Changed More in Last One
Hundred Years Than In Any
One Thousand Years
Before
AND WHAT rs TO BE

Clifford Howard in November St. Nicho-
las.
A hundred years back may seem a long
while ago, but when you remember that
there are men living today whose fathers
saw General Washington, century does
not seem so long a time after all. And
up to the time of Washington 100 years
did not mean very much to the human
race. The world moved very slowly.
When Washington died, in 1799 people
were using the same sort of appliances
and doing the same things in the same
way that they did in 1893 and even in
1899. In former years, If man could
have returned to earth at the end of 100
years, he would not have been very much
surprised at any of the changes that had
taken place during his absence. But If
Washington or Franklin, or even Thomas
Jefferson, who died less than a century
ago, were to come back to earth now, he
would not know where he was. The
world has changed more in the last 100
years than In any 1000 years that have
gone before.
To get some idea of the wonderful
changes that have taken place, let us go
back to Thanksgiving day in 1910, and
note how many, many things our great
grandparents did not have which we have
today 1t will not only astonish us, but
it will also make us realize how much we
have to be thankful for.
In the first place, there was no Thanks
giving day in 1919. except in New Eng
land. 1t was only a little over 40 years
ago that the people all over the United
States began to celebrate the day. Be-
fore that IL one did not live in Boston
or very close to it he probably would
never have eaten q Thanksgiving dinner.
But even those who were fortunate
enough to live in New England did not
have anything like the variety of good
things for dinner that we have today OF
course they had turkey and pumpkin pie
and onions and cranberry sauce and po-
tatoes; but they did not have tomatoes
or corn or peas or string beansser beets
or asparagus or any of the other canned
vegetables that we are accustomed to
eating during the winter months There
were no canned goods of any kind. There
were no tin cans. Neither were there
any cars to bring fresh fruits and vege-
tables-like strawberries and tomatoes
and lettuce-from the south and from Cal
ifornia-In fact, there were then no such
places in the United States as Florida
and Texas and California. They were all
of them waste places or foreign lands.
They belonged to England and Spain and
France and Mexico.
Oranges, bananas. pineapples. grape
fruit. olives. Malaga grapes and othA
tropical fruits which are so familiar to all
of us, were never seen in the markets of
1910. Boys and girls of that day only
heard about them from travellers or read
of them in books.

Names I'm Samoa

From the New York Mail.
Travellers visiting Samoa are puzzled at
first by the fact that many boys bear
1Rminine names, while girls as frequently
learns after awhile, however, that the
confusing use of names, instead of being
due to ignorance, is In reality the result
of native custom which Is highly poetic.
Thus If girl is born soop after the death
of brother the latter's name is given to-
her, in the belief that his spirit and all
his good qualities have been transferred
to her. On the other hand, II a boy. is
born after the death of sister he takes
the. latter's name. and. as the samoans
believe, all her lovable traits become his

Sea Islanders are destitute Of the poetic

You say that for my love You sigh;
You're only happy when I'm near,
Without you would want to die.
That's very nice, L won't deny,
Your heart i do not wish to break,
But will you joke about my pie
And will you scorn the bread 1 bake:
And scOId when matters went awTy,
who keep their wives in dread and fear,
Who carp and grumbIe decry.
OF course, you know, 1 don't imply
That you're apt to take,
But how about the chops fry,
And will you scorn the bread 1 bakes
Perchance within on file citing year
You might not rate my charms high,
You might say that my cast was queer
And call it tasteless, burnt and dry.
For me all danger you'd defy,
You'd brave the galIows the stake,
But will You call sny coffee I've,
And will you the bread L bake.
