THANKSGIVING DAY.
(By Theo. Field.)

(by lneO. lelu.
Now upon Thanksgiving Day,
To grandmother's house we must 60;
There's room for all in the big old
sleigh,
And we glide swiftly over the snow.
2
Faster and faster the horses go
AS through the woods we glide;
Our cheeks are red with the wintry
cold,
And we all enjoy the ride.
Now our journey is nearly over,
Grandmothers house is not far away,
Just one more hill we have to go over,
And in front of the door we stop the
sleigh.
We all get out at granny's door,
And when we look around,
We see turkey and nuts and fruit
galore,
And pies and cakes done nice and
brown.

C. C. sPEAS SUCCUMBS TO DIS
EASE.

At 2:30 this morning, G. c. Speas
died at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. A. Anderson, 874 Sixth avenue,
after a lingering illness. Mr.. Speas
was 32 years of age and came here
about a year ago from Freeman, Mo-,
town about forty miles south of
Kansas City, to visit his sister, Mrs.
Anderson, and try the effects of the
climate for tuberculosis.
For some years he was member
of the fire department of Kansas City,
and while belonging to the team the
disease developed from the effects of
exposure when on duty. The city doc
tors recommended that Mr.. Speas try
the Colorado climate and he took their
advice.
He seemed to improve somewhat
at first, and late last fall went to
Pueblo for a change, but grew so
much worse that he returned to Du-
range, and since Christmas night fail
ed rapidly. He passed away peace
fully at 2:3O this morning.
Mr.. Speas leaves to mourn his loss
his father, four brothers and a sister
Mrs. Sadie Anderson, of this city
With the exception of one brother at
Leadville, the others are residents Of
Kansas City. A little son, z years
of age, is also in Kansas City with
his relatives.
The remains are now at the Good
man undertaking parlors being pre-
pared for shipment to Freeman, the
deceased's old home, and on Satur-
day morning Mrs. Anderson will start
on her. sad journey with all that is
mortal of her late brother. In times
of sorrow it is comforting to remem-
Der that the things for which We love
our friends the most, are eternal.
Death has no power over unselfish-
ness, courage. tenderness, or patience.
Their memory is ever green and the
thought of these and similar qualities
which our departed friends have mani
Tested is always dear to those who
are left behind.
1t was John Ruskin who said that
the words of the Sacred Book were
understood to be immortal when they
were proved by the lives of those
who read them. So brave or un-
selfish act proves the Immortality of
the qualities manifested, since it lives
on in memory long after the doer has
forgotten the deed or has, perhaps, be-
come dust.

Herald man was afraid to tackle the

within twenty-four hours, was follow
ed by an order, from both the city

of them is run out of town, if it can
be done. We may over estimate our
capability but we know to certainty
that we can make things mighty live
ly for a few of them. We have no
personal knowledge of the business
but we think we can get some mighty
interesting testimony and right here
we invite anyone who can give us
some definite information to give it

abuses of the institution, and yet
these abuses continue. With the
most horrible" examples before
them, people go on year after year
and decade after decade making the
same old mistakes that have been
made since time began.
1t follows therefore that any sub
ject which involves such fundamental
instincts of the race cannot be de-
cided by anybody's airy ipse dixit.
1t does not lie in the mouth of any
human being to declare reasonably
that there is no such thing as love
at first sight or that this or that
phase of equal suffrage or any other
sociological problem has a dominat-
ing effect upon conditions which exist
at this time or existed at any previ-
GUS time.
But notwithstanding this fact, DR..
George H. Combs has, in magazine
article, contributed a number of ex-
cellent and valuable suggestions to
the voluminous literature of the sub
ject. He advised against woman
marrying a man simply because he
was handsome or rich, or to reform
him. He suggested various legis-
lative measures tending to lengthen
the acquaintance of young people be-
fore their marriage. He pointed out
the need of greater publicity and
many precautions which seem dictat-
ed by the plainest common sense. He
declared against the marriage of
miners, and for medical examinations
that will establish the physical fit
ness of the contracting parties.
All of these suggestions are timely
and none of them is without value.
There is too prevalent tendency
among public speakers and reformers
to pose as experts whose dictum is
the final word in the matter. The
temptation to make epigrams is one
which few public speakers can resist
and somehow or other preachers are
particularly weak in this respect. But
with it all, not many young women
would contract unsuitable and unhap-
py alliances if they would follow DR..
Combs advice to the letter-or the
advice of any other mature and SEN
sible man or woman, for that matter.
