THE PASSING OF GHOSTS.

Gradually stories of ghosts are becoming al
ways in the past tense. Most grown persons will
remember how when they were children there
stories about some haunted house or other
spooky place spot IN their town or neigh
borhood, and the place could always be pointed
out and was always exhibited to newcomers and
strangers
Possibly our belief that ghost stories are now
told only in the past tense is to some extent &C
counted for on the ground that we are no longer
young. But it also is true that continued intellec-
tual and scientific progress has contributed its part
toward the punishment of spectral wraiths and
grewsome visions OF the night
Many years ago before electricity was made
practical and even before matches came into com
mon use. it was brave man who got up in the
night and went down stairs to satisfy his wife there
were no burglars around. He had to go in the
dark Today he presses button and the whole
house is flooded with light
II there is any thing ghosts and wraiths
and their near relatives despise it is light And
the coming of instant easy. always accessible light
has done more to relegate ghosts to history than
anything in human nature-Joplin Globe.

A LAY SERMON.

\ prominent capitalist testified before a con
gressional investigating committee few days ago
that large sums which he had contributed to the
campaign fund of political party had been given
solely in the interests Of the Government and the
people" \ contribution really made for this pur-
pose is mertorious and the donor deserves com
mendaton. because money spent in the interests Of
good government and in the interests OF the people
is a righteous investment; but, unfortunately there
are many who give money for political purposes
with the purpose of promoting the success of par
tcular man or an especial measure most advan-
tageous to the giver, and those entrusted with the
spending Of campaign funds are not always ac-
tuated by motives patriotic as they are selfish.
II is the duty of every citizen to support such
measures and such men as may be best calculated
to advance the interests Of the country. and the
Creator has imposed on every human being the
duty Of benefi,ing mankind and OF making this
world better place to live in. There Is no incon-
ss,ency between the duty We owe to God and the
duty owe to our country; the contrary. We
cannot faithfully serve God unless We devote par
OF the time to the welfare OF the country and IN,

Plymouth, Mass, Nov. 81. 1621-
(By Wurst Service) .-Thanksgiving
Day was duly and heartily observed
here yesterday by the sturdy inhabit-
ants of this thriving city. The day
passed without any overt happening
other than the repulse of three at
tacks by hostile Indians, Several din
ners got cold and several Indians be-
came the same way forever on this
account.
The usual observances Of the happy
occasion were eaten and the regular
quota of ensuing indigestion has been
reported. Doctors Of the vicinity ex-
pect to work for twenty-five hours a

of Massachusetts, distributed baskets
of food to the needy. Owing to the
sparseness Of the inhabitants, there
was only one needy person standing
in line for the occasion. It is hoped
that by the time a couple Of more
ships arrive there will be a thriving
poor section of the city for the good
wives to care for. It has been con-
slant source of worry to some that
they could not exercise as much
charity as they would wish on account
Of this scarcity Of consumers.
After the poor-his name is with
held from publication for obvious rea-
sons-had been given all he could
carry, the rest Of the baskets were
taken over to the Indian settlement
three miles west Of town. There they
were handed out to the copper color

An eloquent and fattering compli'
ment to the craftsmanship Of the
male citizens.
After the sun had pulled down the
shades OF evening. an informal hor
was held on the after deck of the
Mayfower, the two-master on which
the colony arrived at this port before
1t became a port. Wilbur Sprint
chief Of police. attended in uniform
to see that none Of the new rescue
dances were INDUCED In. On account
of the day being what 1t was, he was
doubly afraid that the turkey trot
would be down several times on the
program. No arrests were made. The
Mayfower sails from here next Tues
day at 2 P. M. with full cargo OF
wooden nutmegs.
Now that the day Is over there~is a
good deal Of complaint heard about
the busy marts of trade concerning
the cost of items on yesterdays menu.
It is but another and violent outbreak
Of the High Cost of Living. There
was an unusually indignant TRADE
against the price of the November
bird and its side partner, the cram
berry.
when we landed last year on
the large cobblestone down by the
harbor," West End housewife said
this morning, such necessary luxuries
could be INDUCED in once every year
without inviting a mortgage on the
home place. The Indians who sell
the birds and berries are becoming too
arrogant to be tolerated.. Last year
could get a gallon of A No. cram
berries and a forty-pound turkey-on
the hoof-for ten glass beads. And
they thanked me for it.
But this year! To get decent
turkey and enough cram
berries to make it presentable I had
to come through with 20 fine colored
beads. Nor was that all--the buck
Indian I bought from insisted on
long pull at my husbands demijohn
before he would close the DEAL"
The Redskins themselves admit the
tendencies Of Thanksgiv-
ing necessities, but Indignantly deny
that there Is any combination In re-
straint of trade. They say that the
cranberry mines Of this region are al
most exhausted and that apparently
the local turkeys have embraced the
rigid practice Of race suicide.
OF course the citizens are not hob
bled, or anything like that, and could
go out with their own pop guns for
the growers of the light and dark.
But the woods are swarming at this
season with hostile Indians, and as a
usual thing three or four Of these
have to be turned into good ones be-
fore a turkey is bagged. The hunt
ers as a usual thing have their fire.

the charge has to be withdrawn and

Is very annoying and the extra ex-

keys would amount to even at the
high prices in vogue.
