Lord, what shall our Thanksgiving
be,
This gray November of the year,
What e'er our offering to Thee,
Be it sincere!
No empty frankinsence of praise,
No sounding words trlcked out
by art,
But just some homely, simple phrase
Straight from the heart!
No music of triumphant tone
Inswelling oetayes swept along,
But lifted to Thine unseen throne,
Some low, sweet song.
Through Thee all blessings boun-

And Thou hast granted unto us

When Jimmy had finished his plea,
the Judge said: well young man
your request is granted" and he sat
down and wrote the order, and some
thing additional, signed, sealed it in
an envelope directed to the jailer,
and calling his chauffeur, said: Get
out the car and take this young man
to the jail, and if you can be any as

nice robes and all these things. For
the first time in his thirteen years
Of life Jimmy felt the shame of his

But they were at the jail, and he
forgot everything else in his JOY OF
being able for once to save his
best friend from the workhouse, and
of the nice time they two would have

While he hardly knew what the
day was for, or its significance, he
knew it was day when You were
expected to have something good to

when Jimmy had gone in Mr. Daw-

Applications for space at the automobile
shows to be held at New York and Chicago
under the auspices of the National Asso-

closed on Saturday.
The New York show will be held at the

place at Chicago, will this year manage the
show at the Grand Central Palace.
This will be the first time I'm seven years
that there has been no opposition between
two or more sections Of the trade In con-
nection with the New York show. When
the Licensed Association was formed and
took the Garden the unlicensed division
took the old Palace, and there ensued in
tense rivalry, extending over period Of
five or six years
with the defeat of the Seden patent and
the sale Of Madison Square Garden, the
situation changed. The National Assocla-
ton stepped into the field and took a lease
of the new Grand Central Palace for the
purpose of conducting show for the bene-
III of those who either from lack Of space
or ineligibilty, are unable TO get into the
Garden. This action disposed Of all posi-
b!litv of any other exhibition. The Ma
tionaI Association is working hand In hand
with the Automobile Board of Trade In all
things likely to insure the success of both
Of the New York shows.
After the demolition of the Garden there
will be one show, combining all interests
held annually at the new Grand Central
Palace. At the time Of the closing OF APP
ulications Of the National Association
shows # was found that - makers of pas
senger cars and p makers of commercial
cars had applied for space at New York.
