LEFUS GIVE THANKS.

The president OF the Unitid States
recommends it.
The governor OF the State OF Ore
yOu so advises.
National custom sanctions it, and
the human heart at its best prompts
it,
Let Us give thanks for our individ-
ual mercies: We have all passed
through experiences during the year,
some OF them too sacred to narrate,
in which the goodness OF Almighty
God has been revealed to us. He has
provided not only for our material
wants, but has fed us with that
bread that has satisfied the hunger
of our hearts. He has delivered us
from evil He has given us homes,
the sweet companionship of loved
ones, and the sacred friendships
Which'have enriched our lives. He
strengthened us in our weakness,
healed our sickness, given us rest
from our WEAKNESS. and sent the
bright angel Of Hope to sing to us its
songs of cheer in the time OF advers-
ity and troubles.
Let us give thanks for our National
blessings; for the bountifu harvests
that have been garnered: for free
doom from famine, pestilence and
war the three great scOurges of
mankind.
For the awakening conscience of
the nation in relation to political
corruption, industrial injustice, inc
quality OF rights and privileges, com
mercial greed, the obligations of the
strong to the weak, and national |
righteousness as the only basis for
national prosperity and perpet-
uity.
For the infuerce of our national |
life in fostering the spirit of democ-
racy throughout the world, as wit |
messed by the uprising in China, and
the demand for greater freedom and
power on the part of the people
throughout the world.
For the growth OF the spirit of
peace among all nations and for the
International arbitration treaties
proposed by our own chief executive
which have met with such favorable
consideration among the leading
civilized nations OF the world. This
would mean national disarmament
and the lifting Of an oppressive bur
den from the shoulders OF the tOiling
people OF all nations.
Let us be thankful that our own
nation, strongest OF all nations, has
taken the leading part in substitut-
ing arbitration for war, and pray
that no backward step may be taken
on a question which means so much
for the progress OF mankind.
Finally let US give thanks to AL
mighty God for the privilege OF living
at a time like this, when so many /
great movements are in progress for {
the betterment OF the world. That (
it is our privilege as it is our duty, {
to share in the labor and inspiration s
of these mighty movements, which 1
look to the unificatiOn of the race in
a Kingdom Of righteousness and
everlasting peace
Let us give thanks.

Mr.. Kegap Paul in his "Reminis-
censes" tells many good story OF
his life as an Anglican vicar. He
speaks, in one case, of his bishop as
IAN astute and insincere man, CIV
tpg the following instance Of his in

At a meeting of the clergy at
Chaplain his chaplain told him that
old DR. who had been many
years in the diocese, was vexed at
having been forgotten.
"Yes - said the bishop, Il have not
the smallest recollection OF him, but
I will make it all right, and will go
and speak to him. Which is he?'
He was pointed out, and the
bishop raade his way to him,

a moment for real conversation
with you. ! need not ask you how
you are after ali these years. Do
you still ride your gray mafe?
Yes, my lord. How good of you
to rememb Der her!" ETC., etc.
The chaplain, who was within ear
shot, said when he again came near
the bishop Then you did remem-
Der DR. after all?"

The various rulings of the commits

PLAIN TALK ABOUT SUNDAY
RECREATION.

The War and Navy Departments
showed both common sense and
Christian spirit not long ago in meet
ing this very question Of Sunday, d.
version. Some religionists at Kansas
City organized a committee and pro-
ceeded on to Washington, where they
presented TO the Secretary Of War and
the Secretary of the Navy a manifesto
protesting against the Departments
permitting Sunday baseball playing
on the part of the soldiers and sail
ors."
That Kansas City, which does not
come into immediate contact with
either sailors Or soldiers, should take
upon itself to regulate the habits OF
enlisted men is somewhat illustrative
Of these prOpagandists.
The authorities at Washington in,
formed the committee from Kansas
City that enlisted men have little op-
pOrtnnity for relaxation. and that after
the usual hours of Sunday worship il
will be entirely proper to allow them
to play baseball Oh the naval and mil
itary reservations where such con.
tests do not interfere with other peo-
pies observance of the Sabbath"
The maddening feature of these
changing religionist connections is
their unWisdom from an economic
polite Or humane viewpoint. Take
for example the Army canteen agita-
ton which shook the country few
years ago. The howlers were toe
many for Washington and the canteer
was abolished. If you will write now
to the Secretary Of War he will tell
vow that it was a harmful action, anG
that cases Of drunkenness have doub.
led since the canteen was taken from
the enlisted men.
The people that suffer most through
the prejudices Of the religionists are
the poorest of the working classes
whose six days of the week, from sun.
rise until dark. are spent in toll, ant
to whom Sunday brings relief from
labor and a leisure that permits OF
dressing up and going out for recrea'
ton TO deny such people the oppor.
tunity Of harmless diversion on Sun
day is to darken even more their
already none too lightsome existence
It. is to deprive them of the physical
relaxation they require; and still more
important in its effect upon the child
rem of this class For such reason is
the playground SO invaluable a mis-
sionary for cleanliness lin mind anc
body and wholesome living among the
growing generation of these peoples
and to the children of these Sunday
recreation is vital
Let any one of you under whose eye
this paragraph happens to fall take
| your next Sunday walk in the park OF
| your city and note the grateful enjoy
ment and the eagerness of the young
| sters who romp and roll upon the
srass.-The Outing Magazine.

LOSS FROM TUBERCULOSIS
What Other States Do and How
Wisconsin Fails

What Other States Do and How
Wisconsin Fails
Pamphlets for circulation among
members of the assembly and senate
at Madison this week are being pre-
pared by the Wisconsin Anti Tuberculo-
sis association.
Startling comparisons showing steps
taken in Wisconsin and in other states
are given. The comparison of public
measures in New York and Wisconsin
is shown in the following table:
One year ago New York had
5,476 beds for consumptives.
One bed to every 1,27S population.
One bed to every IL consumptives.
Today Wisconsin has
262 beds for consumptives.
One bed to every $500 population.
One bed to every SO consumptives.
Another interesting feature of the
pamphlets is the following:
Last year in Wisconsin
$500 persons died from tuberculosis.
IL, 900 suffered from the disease.
$40, 100000 was lost as result of
tuberculosis.
One year from today
$500 persons now living will be dead.
Thousands of persons now healthy will
be tubercular.
At least $40, 900, 900 more will be lost.
These arguments are being present
ed in favor of the Youmans Bill, 500
A., which if enacted, will give to coun-
ty boards the authority to erect and
maintain sanatoria for the care of
tuberculosis patients, and will appro-
pirate $4,000 year to be given to
counties having such institutions at
the rate of So per week per patient.
The counties of the state are unable,
under the present law, to erect such
institutions, although La Crosse, Doug
las, Eau Claire, Winnebago, Marathon,
Racine and Kenosha counties are anx-
ious to make such provision for their
consumptives.
New York, New Jersey, Illinois and
Massachusetts, states in which the
greatest progress in the white plague
fight has been made, have such law.
Connecticut built, with state money,
three county institutions and contem-
plates the erection of two more.
Reports received from Madison are
to the effect that many senators and
assemblymen are receiving large num-
bers of requests that they support the
bill. Interest in the measure is state
wide, and all friends of the white
plague war are being urged to write to
their representatives in the legislature.

The Ghost of a Famous Town

The Ghost of a Famous Town.
Virginia City is indeed a strange
town-a living skeleton. In the height
of its opulence it boosted population
Of thirty thousand. To-day there are
less than one-tenth than many, dllap-
idation and ruin are seen on every
hand The chief~streets terrace along
a great hillside. Farther up the slope
are wastes of sagebrush growing in
stunted clumps that half hide the
earth with their gray tWlgS and foil
age. Down below is a valley where
the mines have dumped vast heaps of
waste. The entire region is wild
upheaval of hills, and around the
horizon are seen ranges Of snoWy-top-
ped mountains The only trees are an
occasional gnarled scrub pine or
dwarf ccdar few feet high. Former
ly scrub pines Of fair size were plentl-
full on the hills; but they were practl-
cally all used for firewood long years
ago. After they were gone some
Cinnamon ran a woodward and sold
pine roots. Probably one hundred and
fifty donkeys were engaged in tolllng
about the uplands and bringing in the
stumps and roots Of the old scrub
pines. This material, too, was ex-
hausted presently, and now the fuel
comes by train.
The town streets are rough and
dirty. and as I walked about | was
constantly encountering old tin cans
and getting my feet tangled up IN
wires from the baled hay. Buildings
in good repair are rarities. There are
lettering fences and ragged walls and
broken roofs and smashed glass, and
MANY windows and doors are boarded
up.
The search for gold has resulted in
tearing the country all to pieces.
Everywhere the hills are dotted with
prospectors' holes. From any height
Won can see dozens-perhaps hundreds
They suggest the burrowing of wood
ehucks or prairie dogs. The region
along the Comstock lode abounds too
in deserted shafts. Usually the spots
where had been the buildings and the
machinery for working the abandoned
mines are now only marked by great
dumps of waste, with possibly few
immense foundation stones and IRONS.
Two miles from Virginia City is the
village of Gold Hill, which, if any
thing. is deader than its neighbor.
| There is the same dilaDidation and
| wreckage, and the same cantlng walls
and neglect of repairs. On the Dor
ders of this hamlet l met Scotch
man who affirmed that his cabin was
| the Oldest dwelling in the region. The
main part contained single room
but there was a lean-to at the rear
and a little cave ran back under the
hill The owner invited me III to resi-
myself and, as We entered, a gray cal
departed through a missing WINDOW
pane.-The Outing Magazine.
