After this came a mental exercise

Kindred thought. Then the family
descended to the garden, where
they went through gymnastics and
dances for an hour. After this they
breakfasted and the duties of the
day began.
Mrs. Boynton, who failed to sug-
gest the equivalent of these dis
fractions to be practiced in the
New York flat, went on to say:
You are cursing your children,
damning them and booming them
to hell on earth by sending them to
ill-smelling schools. The child
needs foods for the soul-the stars
and the ocean and music"
To leave the body free and I'M
trammelled. she declared, was the
only way to keep young. Women
of eighty could thus keep beautiful.
"You will never be fat without
corsets," said Mrs. Boynton. 1t was

had gathered. The great organ sent
forth its melody as the high sal.
aried choir, surrounded by floral
I decorations, chanted the offertory.
Prominent city pastors graced the
platform. and In short addresses
showed their good will. The pastor
of the new church stepped forward.
He assumed an impressive attitude.
The audience waited. Then he be-
gan:
Brothers and Sisters: This Is a
great occasion. 1t has only been
rendered possible by the magnifi.
cent gift of our departed brother.
We all knew him. While he was one
of our first citizens and a promi-
nent business man. he was also a
philanthropist. Success never
turned his head. He realized that
life meant more than the accumu-
lation of dollars. He knew that he
owed a duty to mankind. Even in
his will be provided for the future
welfare of our church. l wish to
call your attention to the beautiful
memorial window which will ever
stand as a monument to his men,
DRY. We're he with us now, my
words would be out of place, for
am sure he could address you bet
ter than /. The window yonder"-
and here the pastor pointed to the
beautiful stained glass memorial
lis an expression Of his feeling to-
ward u.s."
The eyes of the congregation in
stinctively turned to the beautiful
ly tinted work Of art. While they
gazed in admiration, the sun burst
from behind cloud and the light
shone full upon the stained glass.
The window had been peculiarly
constructed. and as a card held to
the light may reveal another design
within, so the window now flashed
a different story. Clearly outlined
upon the beautiful network of glass
was the lifelike figure of the old
janitor. Roughly clad. and standing
on step-ladder, with cleaning-clotn
in hand. the image of John Broom
smiled in at them, as they had
known him in the years gone by.
While to others he had changed. In
his own mind he was still John
Broom, the janitor, and wished to
be so remembered.

PLAYING 'POSSUM

1t was a cool. frosty morning,
and shaggy Shep was out in the
yard amusing himself chasing
chickens and watching them run
clucking away, and teasing the
geese and setting them all to
quacking.
One old goose thought Shep was
too impudent for just puppy dog,
so, wildly flapping her wings and
quacking loudly, she drove him off
toward the barn.
Huh" shifted Shep, 81 wonder
who's here. Smells to me like one
of those furry animals from the
woods. 1t went right in here"
And Shep went through the partly
open barn door.
Then what noise, and how
Shep barked and yelped in glee,
There was sound of upsetting
buckets and boxes, a stamping of
frightened horses and out the door
darted a 'possum closely followed
by Shep.
"Woof, wool" barked Shep.

The 'possum finally ran into a
corner where it couldn't get out.
Then Mr.. 'Possum, being exhaust
ed. played his old trick of pretend
ing to be dead. There he lay,
rolled into little ball-never mov-
ing while Shep n0sed him over.
"Humph." growled the pup. Its
no fun now. He's dead and can't
run"
So away he raced back to the
chickens.
No sooner had he left than Mr..
'Possum opened his bright eyes,
and seeing that his enemy had
gone. he quickly and slyly made
off for his home in the nearby
field.

Because we married for love and

me thus: "All you have to do is
to meet me, get acquainted and

sing through a machine having two
blunt scrapers, and the fbers are freed
from moisture and made less adherent
by being wrapped in a cloth and
pounded with hammer, after which
they are pulled apart and spun into
threads for weaving. The process is
quite similar to that used for separat-
ing ramie fbers. The ultimate fiber

cloth is exceedingly tough and pro-
misses to be very durable. Made in

In preparing flour from sugar
beets, at the establishment of AL
phonse Huillard, French manu-
facturer the roots are first chopped,
and most of the Y per cent of water
is removed by evaporation in a
special dryer. From 357 pounds OF
fresh roots 100 pounds of dry mater

tains more than 70 pounds of sugar
and about 81 pounds of nutritive sub

suitable precautions, and supplies
sweet flour that is a highly efficient
food quite germ-free, and that has
great present and respective useful

Methodist Services

An appropriate and very interesting
thanksgiving sermon was delivered by
Rev. j. C. Duncan at the Methodist
church. Jackson, last Sunday evening.
The theme of Rev. Duncan's discus
sion, was upon the gratitude we owe
to our neighbor and Creator for the
blessings we have received under the
existing conditions of affairs
The clergyman is an able and fear
less speaker, and his lecture which at
various parts touched the open Sunday
evening saloon question, gave his
hearers to understand that he would
combat the proposition, with a view of
having the saloons close their places
of business on the Sabbath evening.

Thanksgiving Sermon
At Episcopal Church

At st. Augustine's church last Sum
day evening, Rev. Shea prefaced his
sermon from the text "And Elijah
came unto all the people and said, How
long halt We between two opinions; If
the Lord be God, follow him, but If
Baal, then follow him. But the
people answered not word. " That
thanksgiving is an institution peculiar
to the church, and that while one day
is set apart every year for special
thanksgiving, still we must not over
look the fact that every service of the
church morning and evening prayers.
and especially the service of the altar
the sacrifice of the mass, the encharis-
tic sacrifice, holy communion, or what
ever else you may choose to call it
contains leading note of thanks
giving. Any service to God void Of
this great essential feature, expresses
a wrong Interpretation of mans true
relationship to God. Thanksgiving and
advent most fittingly come together,
as they are co-relative in their teach
ing. Both should be an inspiration
for us to look backward over the
past year, to seriously consider the
blessings received, and our ingratitude
to the giver of all good. Both are an
incentive and an exortation to prepare
fittingly for the future. But the season
of advent, am sorry to say, is little
known, so at best not recognized by
many protesting christian bodies to-
day. Even thanksgiving itself has
degenerated into mere ceremonial
observance, in which a heart touch
