the Almiehty III the numerous bles-
sings bestowed By Him during the
past year, and to render unto Him 4
hearty tribute of praise.
This is the day above all others
of the year when a true spirit Of.
thankfulness should prevail, and no
one who calls this land his home
should fail to offer up prayer Of
thanksgiving to Him from whom
all blessings flow"
We all have something to be
thankful for; no matter what the
past year has brought forth; no mat
Ter where or how we are now stu
ated, no matter how d ark and
gloomy the future looms ahead of
u.s. we still have much to be thank
fuA for. Each day has brought forth
His blessing in some form for one
and all. Deep down in our hearts
we know and must admit this. Per-
haps it was only a kind word, or a
letter, or even a friendly smile or
little deed of kindness, but it helped
to cheer us on our way and We
should be thankful for it.
No one but the cynic. the mocker,
the chronic pessimist will declare
otherwise, but even in so declaring
he fonts truth in the face, for he at
least has life, and life after all, is
the greatest of blessings. And re-
member that life, upon the whole,
is far more pleasurable than painful,
otherwise we should not feel pain
SO impatiently when it comes.
The prisoner may be inclined to
think that he, of all humanity has
the least to be thankful for. Yet
such is not the case. for he at least
has where to lay his head and food
enough to sustain life. There are
thousands upon thousands of people
in our great cities who will go sup
PEERLESS tonight, and perhaps walk
the streets to keep from freezing.
Surely the prisoner in his tiny warm
cell is better off than they.
A man who spent four or five
years in southern prison shortly
after the civil war land be it said
that prisons were prisons in the
fullest sense of the word in those
days stated that even there, in
those bull-pens of slavery, the poor
unfortunates found something to be
thankful for.
To illustrate, he related an Incl
dent which happened Oh the first
Thanksgiving Day after his incar-
ceration, and which. he said had the
effect to forever Danish from his
mind the thought that he had moth
ing to be thankful for, no matter
how dreary and bare life seemed to
be.
He, with twenty or thirty other
prisoners were engaged in the heart
breaking work of quarrying and
crushing stone for road building,
(the prisons were worked on holt
days, and even Sundays then and
they had just returned to work from
a meager and unpalitable dinner,
with everyone in bad humor and
bemoaning' their fate, when a man
passed by, carrying a large string
of fish which he had caught in a
nearby stream. After going a short
distance, he stopped, turned n d
came back, and gave his fish, to-
gether with all the money he had
some five or six dollars to the pris-
oners, stating at the same time that
everyone ought to have something
to be thankful for on that day.
Shortly afterwards the prisoners
learned that their benefactor was a
poor brickmason who supported a

Gold Reaters, skin

A cheap substitute is much desired
for godbeaters skin, which is prepar-
ed from the outside membrane of the

that goldbeaters first tried paper for
inclosing the metal, and mulberry
fiber paper is still used in China and
Japan, but animal parchment has been
mostly employed for two or three cen.

can be beaten out between paper

MURPHY TO BACK LYNCH.
Withdrawal of Opposition by Cub
Magnsto Makes Election Sure.

Chicago. H.. Dec. CHARLES w.
Murphy, owner Of the Cubs. win stand
for the recollection of Tom Lynch as
president of the National league at the
annual meeting i'm New York next
week. The west side magnate showed
his hand in the supposedly hot politi-
cal fight last night i'm reply to a report
from the east which tended to show
that Murphy was harboring a scheme
to oust the present league chief and
install Joe O'Brien OF Milwaukee, for
merly president of the American asso-
citation.
II has been supposed and quite gem
orally believed. that Murphy had unit
cd forces with Ebbets OF Brooklyn and
Fogel OF philadelphia. This trio has
been known as radically anti-Lynch
partisans. but apparently the inside
facts have leaked out through the
wrong source.
At least Murphy's statement made
last night would indicate this for the
fact that he admits having swung to
Lynch's support makes II almost a
certainty that the latter will be nam
ed again and that all will be serene at
the National league session.

TO disturb fundamentally the game
would be a mistake from any view
point save that of coaches unable TO
take advantage Of opportunities Of
fcred.
DIR. Harry Williams, OF Minnesota,
last year produced, from ancient his
torly rejuvenated formatlon-the
shift" This year no team Is so lowly
as not TO have a variation OF his sim
pie, over-rated lineup. Two seasons
have passed and this is about the on
ly new thing in formations. OF orig
iral development of the forward pass
and onside kick. as little may be said.
Bearing this in mind, it is easy to
understand why many elevens are
stronger on defense than in attack.
The loose ball bogey has been a
coach's nightmare.
Complaint is made that the rules
produce scoreless games. Against
Princeton. Yale had eight chances TO
score by field goals and realized once.
Harvard had three chances against
Yale and Yale had two, but both fail
cd to count. Princeton had one chance
against Yale and two against Harvard
and realized against both.
Is the failure of Yale and Harvard
to be charged against the rules or to
miserable execution? The rules give
opportunity to score but l do not un-
derstand they are to hand up field
goals on a platter. No team saw this
fall failed to score through fault of the
rules.
The forward pass had advanced lit
tie. Many coaches profess to think
little of il. but, in secret acknowledge
its potentialitics and are not up to it.
Used without great skill 1t has the
danger of "A looseball, but no play Of
fers more strategic value.
This year showed the penalty Of
poor play. Harvard and Yale failed
for no other reason. For the same
reason Army failed and Navy made
good. The year laid a heavy hand on
unclean handling OF the ball and blum
dering effort to turn opportunity into
points.
Princeton. Dartmouth. Navy, Car
lisle, Trinity and Chicago deserve
mention, though none showed the
quality the rules encourage.
The rules brought what football
needed. BY increasing the difficulty

local show.
Judge Clip. who has already been
secured to act i'm that capacity at the
Laurium show is an experienced poul-

The ierot and the Snake.

Every one has heard OF the remnrka-
bic combats of the Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes. in which little
rikki-tikki-tavi comes off victor. The
fact that the mongoose invariably sur
wives has led to the suggestion that it
is immune to snake poison Other ami
mails said 10 be immune are the pic
and the hedgehog. The experiments
of British naturalists show that an
animal of the dormouse family must
be added to the list of the immune,
This animal is known as the lerot and
is said to fight fiercely with vipers
Large doses OF viper's poison were in
jected into one lerot. from which in
lection no Ill effects followed. On one
occasion a lerot was bitten badly in
the eye by a viper. and no signs of
poisoning occurred. There can. II is
thought, be no doubt that the lerot is
immune TO snake poison.

LEHTo TO SEE PILAKoFF.
Well Known Copper Country Wrestler
Interested in Coming Match.


Yesterday Manager Maxi, who looks
after the interests of Pilakoff, received
letter stating that Karl Lehto would
be at the ringside when Zbyszko and
Pilakon meet next Tuesday evening
says the Duluth Herald. For a while,
Lehto was a student at Valparaiso
university. which is situated not far
from Chicago The young man took
up course in language He attended
college until two weeks ago, when he
left and went into Chicago gymna-
sium to put the finishing touches on
his training.
Lehto has never seen Pilakoff, much
less seen him wrestle. 1t is probable
that the man claiming the Finnish
championship wants TO get a peek at
the man who has been hurting chal-
lengcs at Karl for the past month.
Reports say that Lehto has grown
heavier. only youth in years, there
is reason to believe that he would gain
In weight, Possessing n sturdy and
compact frame, built on tho order OF
Fred Beell, only larger. Lehto should
be able to carry 200 pounds of sinew
and muscle with his breadth OF chest
and back.
With Lehto in Duluth 1t may be that
he will consent 10 meet Pilakoff in
match that will decide the cham
pionship Of the Finnish race. Lehto
defeated both OF the men at Helsing-
fors In the catch -as-catch-ca style
and with that prestige he believes that
he has n right TO the title he has
claimed for the past two years.
