Daddy sBedtirne
@, Real Thanksgiving
OTOTV- Pumpkins Provide
Mays Dinner

IEs1 Yes, indeed: Jack and Evelyn liked PIES Just at bedtime they
were talking OF the pumpkin pies that Dnah was going to make for
Thanksgiving.
ITO really enjoy q pumpkin pie you must have a pumpkin vine OF
your own" said daddy Then you can pick your pumpkin right on the vine,
and you've no idea how much better It tastes
THE house vas grown over with pretty towering vines, All sorts OF nice
flowers grew in the front garden. In the back yard there were vegetables and
berries and many nice things to eat All summer The old lady worked among
her plants, her little granddaughter Mary pattenng after to help .
There raj a flock Of chickens in the little hen yard, and the little old
lady sold the eggs to buy food, for she was quite poor.
Zone year it seemed she ws really poorer than eve The bit OF money
which her sailor son sent her was smaller than usual He had been Ill in the
hospital
Poor Ben sighed the old lady; to think OF his being sick and fr from
home! And it's near Thanksgiving tool
"oh dearr sighed little Mary, And if we're sO poor we can't have a
Thanksgiving either
"'What an ideaF her grandmother answered. Then she glanced out at the
garden where the pumpkin vines were Hohng over the ground. Such a lot
Of nice golden pumpkins as there were this yearl It seemed q pity that they
should go to feed the chickens &
Just then a jolly looking fat man came by in a wagon. He stopped and
looked over the fence.
What would you take for those pumpkins he asked.
"The old lady 5okingiy named a price which she thought would end the
mans interest in her pumpkins #
ITO Der surprise ne bought them and paid the money right into her hand.
THOSE are a fine new kind OF pumpkins that few people are raising L
can sell all these a a good profit and the man drove smiIngly away with a
load Of pumpktns. t-m ~.
Wasn't the old lady peasedr She put the money away untn Thanks
giving Then she made up a hne box and sent ito her sailor son while she
Mary enjoyed one OF the most delightful dinners she had ever cooked.
And to think it was the money we got for u Thanksgiving pumpkins
that gave US all these good things! Mary said as she looked at the daintes
that they were enjoying"

THE E NEWSPAPER.

Occasionally It becomes the duty OF
a practical editor to give to the very
Intelligent people-whO are always de-
handing an ideal newspapers very
common sense reason why It will
never be published.
And the reason is based on a few
questions IKE these:
Has anybody ever Q or heard OF
an ideal minister
Has anybody ever O or heard OF
an ideal college president?
Has anybody ever seen or heard OF
an ideal doctor?
Has anybody ever seen or heard OF
an ideal banker7
Has anybody ever seen or heard OF
IN ideal lawyer?
Has anybody ever seen or heard OF
an ideal merchant?
A loud and emphatic mo" Ia the an
swer to each question. d
Why2
Because the representatives Of the
cauings named are all hunan-with
the usual number of virtues and faults.
And newspaper men, being human, are
In the same class. When the world
is peopled by angels-and the news
papers are controlled by archsngels-
there may be an ideal newspaper
but not until then.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-11-16

He realizes that everything he does
is for his own direct benefit. His
trials and struggles teach him the
value of money and ne is mor likely
to hang onto what he does receive
o only because of its intrinsic worth
but to add to his capital so he
can increase his business and infu-
ence. Even If he fails he has had
rich experience by which he can profit
in m future venture. If fortune
smiles on him he is immeasurably bet
ter off than his friend who is work
ing on a salary.
Every young man starting in life
should give the matter serious con-
sideration, Get into business for him
self should be his slogan-and he
shouldn't wait till he is gray and has
lost his ambition before he makes the
venture. Start humbly, IL necessary
but start 1t means a lot more in
dependence in thought and action
more confidence-more responsibility
and more individuality.

who will not do certain things because
it Will be bad luck" At the same
time they will tell you their posi-
ton is fooIish-and they do not really
believe in superstition.
Many Of the leading superstitions
T historical. Others are more mod
ern and most easily explained. A
great number are traceable to early
savages-while others, especially in
the south, are started by the "Tblack
nanny" who was daily in touch with
the while children.
There are a few people who have
certain little private ~superstitions of
their own and ridicule all others that
trangress their own peculiar views.
One Of the most common is in con
nection with the number IS. Few
people will take the thirteenth seat
at a table. Even those who ridicuIe
the idea will find some excuse from
participating in an affair of that kind.
The objection to making up the fatal
number seems well-nigh universal.
This superstition is so wide spread
that it must have descended through
the remote ages from savage fore
fathers.
