CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING
DR.. Eaton breaches on Over
turning of Tammany.

The Rev DIR. Charles A. Eaton. pastor
of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church'
preached yesterday the Thanksgiving
sermon at the morning service Dr.
Eaton took as his text: Thanks BE
into God for His Unspeakable Gift.
He said in part
I'VE have many things for which we
have 10 be thankful many things OF
a national nature call forth our thanks,
but / will not go into these. But in our
own community we ought to give thanks
for the overturning OF the power OF Tam
many Hall in the recent election.
II do not mean that under the new
administration we shall not have many
of the happenings of the past-there will
probably be just as many children killed
on our streets and just as many other
sad and undesirable happenings as be-
fore-but we shall have something which
we have not had, something else that is
better: a coherent opinion Of a common
ideal In civic life. and this was shown
by driving out the most powerful po.iti-
cal power and the replacing OF II by
its enemies. For this we have to be
thankful

WARNED, RIDES TO FATE
Amateur Fatally Hurt When
Motor Cycle Bucks.

By Telegraph to The Tribune
Florence. y. j., Nov. 23.-While at
tempting on his first ride on a power
full motor cycle to drive the machine
at full speed. Salvador Bartoccini,
twenty-five years of age, of Florence,
sustained probably fatal injuries this
afternoon. The cycle ran wild and,
rearing like a bucking bronco. tossed
the rider high in the air. He crushed
his head as he fell on the trolley rails
in the roadway.
The accident occurred while prophetic
words Of warning were still echoing in
the ears Of Bartoccini. \ cousin who
owned the Inflated machine had rid
den in from Trenton and Bartoccini,
admirng the motor cycle, asked per-
mission 10 ride it.
Let II alone, that machine will kill
any man who don't know how to run
it," shouted the owner
Bartoccin only laughed at the warm
ing and, declaring II looked as easy
10 ride as a bicycle. leaped into the
saddle and threw on the high gear.
The machine shot forward at speed
of fifty miles an hour, and as he at
tempted to guide II around a sharp
curve in the road at Florence Heights
Bartoccini lost control OF the steering
gear. The wheels struck the high troll
lev track beside the road skidded and.
then rearing, hurled Bartoccini high
into the air.

VALUE OF A LAUGH.

The value of a good natured
laugh may be rated low by some
people; but many writer's have at
tested it's worth in we'll defined
terms. 1t is not surprising that
Charles Lamb should have said, "A
laugh is worth a hundred groans in
any MARKET Carlyle is quoted as
saying, "No man who has once
heartily and wholly laughed can be
altogether or irreclaimably bad" 1t
was Douglas Jerrold who stated that,
What was talked of as the golden
chain of Jove was nothing more than
a succession of laughs, a chromatic
scale of merriment reaching from
the earth to Olympus"
Il am persuaded" wrote Laurence
Sterne, that every time a man
smiles-but much more so when he
laughs-it adds something to his
fragment of life And here is the
verdict of Oliver Wendell Holmes
given in own inimitable style OF
hume, ''The riotous tumult of 3
laugh, I take it, is the mob law Of
the features and propriety the magis
trate who reads the riot act.''
