the proceedings brought before him

the reports submitted by the officers
that the concern was not in an in
solvent condition.
The Belle Pre- Bottle Company Is the
largest of the four glass factories To-
Gated here. Two months ago the plant
was closed down, IT bsing stated at
the time that this was done in order
to make extensive improvements in the
equipment. About $50 men were en-
ployed at the time, and many, believ-
ing that the plant might not reopen,
left the city.
1t is understood upon good authority
that the company may resume opera
tions within short time. Plans are
under way looking toward this at the
present time, several meetings having
been held. The concern manufactures
glass milk Jars and other dairy equip
ment..

treasury was practically empty. Grass
grew in the streets of the cities and
shipping rotted at the wharves. Busi-
ness and industry were paralyzed and
the nation tottered IN the verge OF
bankruptcy. The collapse Of the
young republic with its five or six
million people scattered ove an i'm.
mense territory, was freely predicted,
now that England's hands were loosed
by the fall of Napoleon.
Only in New England in 1914 was
Thanksgiving day observed. and even
in the ancient birthplace of the holi-
day It is safe to say that the celebra-
ton was far from being the joyous
feast OF the past. For New England
as a whole had a big, bitter crouch
and didn't care who knew 1t. The
New England states were fiercely hos
tile to the war and had been hardest
hit by it's effects. Its commerce, the
chief source OF its wealth, had been
completely destroyed by Jefferson's
embargo law and the blockade OF Its
ports by the British fleet. It's militia

secession from the Union either as an
Independent republic or as an Eng

circumstances, Thanksgiving in New
England in 1914 took a somber and

II relatives were to be invited to
Thanksgiving homegatherings | n those
old days, the invitations would have
to be dispatched weeks and perhaps
months In advance of the event, for
1t required the best part Of a week
for a letter to travel from Boston 10
New York, as long a time, in fact
as 1t now takes to cross the CONT
nent. Were 1t addressed to Chicago
a mere trading post at that time, 1t
would be sent the previous July. And
the invitation itself would be written
with a quill and blotted with sand.
for in those days there were no steel
pens, no typewriters. no blotters, no
gummed envelopes, no postage stamps.
And the son or daughter In the
city who wished to return to the old
homestead for Thanksgiving in 1914
faced an ordeal before which most OF
us today would quail. For travelling
a century ago was a hazard and a
peril. The railroad was at that time
undreamed Of, and all inland travel
was by river or road.
II a man on his way to a Thanks
giving feast at the old homestead In
the country was thrown from his
horse in the road, breaking a leg or
arm, his case was one to be pitied.
For most Of the doctors Of those days
were ignorant and careless. II ampu-
tation was necessary, the victim was
generally held dow by main strength
while saw and knife cut their agon-
izing way through the tortured flesh
and bone. For 1914 was before the
days Of a~nesthetics. Ether. chloro-
form, cocaine and morphine were as
yet unknown, and as for a~ntiseptics,
the protection against germ infection
of the wound, that vas to wait for
more than fifty years. There was
no quinine, no strychnine, no tine
ture OF iron, no carbolic acid-in fact,
there were scarcely any Of the COM
mon and familiar drugs OF today.
There was no pepsin for that Thanks
giving indigestion, and a cold OF a
toothache was a thing to be dreaded.
In literally millions Of homes on
Thursday, the Thanksgiving dinner
will be preliminary to a visit to a
football game or a theater, things
impossible to the sturdy stock Of
1914. In fact, the religious feast OF
our g~randsires has become to a large
and growing extent a part OF a sport
ing and amusement holiday in which
real Thanksgiving, in the sense Of
the origin of the day, is conspicuous
by its absence. Nevertheless, when
a person stops to think about II,
comparing the material comforts oil
today with those of a century ago,
considering the marvellous growth OF
the republic in wealth and prosperity
the wonderful advancement of educa
ton, science and knowledge-there
are many profound reasons why this
annual feast OF ours should be pre-
coded by a moment, at least, Of sol
emn and reverent thankfulness.
