ALWAYS OTHERS TO HELP
Thought for Those Who Are in Suffer.
Ing at This Time Of General
Rejoicing.

This was the sweet, consoling word
that came to woman struggling with
fresh bereavement at the Thanksgiv-
ing season. Instantly a well of thank
fulness was unsealed in her own heart.
All was not over, then! There was
still something left to live for. Some
one yet leaned on her. Someone turned
to her for help and strength and COM
fort. 1t set whole nest OF singing
birds carolng in the very ruins of her
own happiness.
Does this not give us hint how to
comfort the sorrowful? don't want
to be 'poor-deared!'" cried one whose
best-beloved had been taken. "All |
want on earth is just once more to
hear him say, i need you!" That
comfort, alas! was nevermore to be
hers, but time showed her helpless
worldful of people always saying 1t. 1t
Is the true soul-tonic. The solace OF
helping others is within the reach OF
every sufferer. Added to that Is some
times vouchsafed the reward limited at
in the beginning of this paragraph.
Now and then someone will feel a
warm throb of thankfulness toward US,
and say so. 1t pays a thousand times
for the little we are able to do out of
our weakness. 1t is a thousand times
better than sitting by life's wayside
and holding out pitiful hands for beg
gars' aims of coincidence and sympa'
thy. Nobody wants to have anybody
thankful to him, but it is high form
of happiness to know that someone Is
thankful for us.

Bridegroom's Thanksgiving.

A hundred years from now. sweetheart
We vii. not Sricve Ger chances lost,
Nor worry over meat or art,
Nor care what coal or clothes may cost

OF cheer give thanks for every joy,
And most of all for this, that I'm

Some Appropriate Thoughts.

SS'hS HPP' SH'' 'dtS iSdShIos
The general idea is that when we
have an abundance of material good
We should be thankful. OF course, the
converse is equally true. And as this
is matter of Interpretation for each
individual, and as he sees many OF
his fellows who have prospered better
than he, it disnclines him to give
thanks. Another theory is that al.
though we have meager possessions
others have less, therefore we should
be thankful. This is mighty mean
way to do. It's one way of Growing
over your unfortunate neighbor, and Is
the quintessence of littleness. Anoth.
er way is to thank God that your neigh.
bors are no better off than yourself
This was the case of the old lady when
the frost caught her garden truck
Still another is to take advantage OF
your neighbor and then return thanks
that you are self-made and successful.
And yet another way Is to do your
neighbor ere he does you and theI
give thanks, as David Harum w0f
say. And there are those who pro
thankfulness because matters
be worse. And that brings
query whether matters ever an
but that they might not be worse. II
not, then one might find an endless
chain of thanksgiving If one could
really be thankful to a being who
would so dispose or order events as to
produce so much misery All these
notions or conceits are more or less
crooked.

To the Discontinued.

Let's be thankful, though care
May be sent us to bear,
For only the foolish may never know
That trouble still breeds
Wherever hope leads
That the flowers of Joy are watered
BY the cleansing tears Of woe.
Let's be thankful though still
There is many an III
That we long to have strength to clear
away.
For contentment Is shown
By the foolish alone,
By the weak who are merely waiting
To return to their mother clay.

No One Too Poor to Give.

Something that rich. poor, weak,
strong, young, old can give-thanks.
Did you ever think Of that?
Just as long as you have heart
and may it be always-you can appre-
ciate something and be grateful. Poor
indeed is that man or woman who in
this life can find nothing for which
thanks can be given.

Pinklets viii Clear
the Complexion.

Pinklets. the new laxative pills, do
not wear out their effect before accom-
plishing their work of correcting consti-
patton. You have heard it said so often
of other laXatives that they were fine at
the start but that they have no effect
now. Pnklcts do not lose their effect
because they do not stimulate the bowels
to over-exertion. They assist nature so
gently that he action is regular and
thorough, yet without giiping. Plnklets
put the liver stomach and bowels in
harmonious, perfect working order.
They are the laxative you should use
to clear the complexion, arouse the
sluggish liver and Danish biiiousness.
a short trial of Finklets Will convince
you that they are the ideal laxative
Every druggist in Augusta and vicinity
can now supply you with Pinklets at :,
cents per bottle.

was just above the fideplaee in old
Grcuchy's room. There he paused
long enough to make sure of the flat

| Aloysius Grouchy saw the completion
of his new house and moved into il
with more pleasure than he had known
for years. Aloysius hated agents with
a passion that bcgot genius. For years
the tribe had. as he saw it. prosecuted

The second day in the new residence
saw all the furniture satisfactorily dis
posed. Early on the third day Aloysi-
us took his place by the front window.

was an array of levers and buttons.
Grouchy loked them over and smiled
happily. A young man. dapperer in a

cane swinging in his hand, came down

At noon a slender person, dressed IL

figure was of height exactly that of
the dapper young man who had been
at the house that morning; it moved
with a peculiar step, swinging and
purposeful, a motion quite permissible
in a man, but sure to be counted un-

Aloysius watched shrewdly, then
grinned again, and poised his hands
above the levers.
The supposed widow started up;
