ALWAYS OTHERS TO HELP
Thought for Those Who Are In Suffer

This was the sweet, consoling word
that came to woman struggling with
fresh bereavement at the Thanksgiv-
ing season. Instantly we'll 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. It set a whole nest OF singing
birds caroling in the very ruins of her
own happiness.
Does this not give US hint how to
comfort the sorrowful? "I 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 a 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 hfe'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 1t is a high form
Of happiness to know that someone is
thankful for us. ~

DAYS or PAST THANKSGIVING

Festivities.

Thanksgiving is generally believed
to have commenced with the advent o.

when the true facts in the case come
to light we find that Thanksgiving day
was first celebrated by Popham colon.

ing God thanks" for their safe arrival
and many blessings in the ritual laid
down in the Thanksgiving service of
the Church Of England prayer book. 1t
Is known with what antipathy the
early Puritans regarded any and all of
the holy days Of the English church,
and the celebration of such was stern
ly forbidden in New England.
How many Of US know that days for
giving thanks were set apart in Europe
long before the reformation and were
observed by the Church of England
many years before the Pilgrims land
ed?
The first Thanksgiving in this coun.
try was not set apart as day of re-
hgious observance, but for recreation.
On December IL, 1921, Edward Wins
low wrote home to England the follow.
Ing very quaint account of the weeks
program:
Our harvest being gotten in, our
governor sent four men out fowling SO
we might In q special manner rejoice
together after we had gathered the
fruits Of our labors. The four killed
80 much fowl that with q little help
served the company about q week.
Among other recreations were exer-
cises with our arms. Many of the In |
dams came amongst US and among |
them their greatest king Massas0it |
with some ninety men, whom we for
three days feasted and entertained.
They went out and killed Ave deer,
which they brought in and bestowed
on onr gOvSSzDr, upon the captains and
others."
so we get q good idea Of the hos
pitality offered in those days. We
learn, too. from Governor Bradford,
that wild turkeys were plentiful, 90 we
feel q reasonable assurance that the
turkey has q long and ancient lineage
and prestige not to be usurped by any

that they had five grains OF corn
apiece. In these extravagaht times b
man wouldn't be thankful II he had ten
grains Of corn-which shows conclu-
sively that we are prosperous. The
trusts are doing noble work in rem
edying this evil condition.
People have various unreasonable
reasons for being thankful on Thanks
giving day. Some men are thankful
they took wife, and some are thank
full they didn't take two. Bachelor
maids are thankful they are not "hor-
rid bachelors" and a married woman
is always thankful that her husband
has good wife. 1t is easy to be
thankful II you go about it right.
But the thing people are most thank
full for Is their money-even though
they came by 1t honestly. The more q
man has, the more thankful he is that
It isn't less, and the less a man has
The less likely he is to be thankful

INDIA HORSE BACK IN

Bombay India.-The first detach-

recalled from the Persian gulf arriv-
ed in Bombay recently. AS will be
remembered the beleaguered position
of the detachment in Shiraz was the
subject of many questions and more
than one discussion in both houses
of the British parliament. and when
the announcement was made that they
were about to leave for the coast. it
gave very general satisfaction. The
detachment arrived at Bombay on the
Royal Indian Mail troopship Duffer-
three special trains to Njjain.
Commenting on their arrival. the
Times of India remarks that the men
had lost much of the smartness with
which they left India and their git
was very much the worse for wear.
Many of them had brought back tro-
phies from the gulf and there were
some fine Persian cats to be seen on
the shoulders of quite a number of
the men. At least one goat was in
cluded among the pets that the regi-
ment had adopted. and large num-
ber of Shiraz greyhounds also came
back on the boat as mementoes of the

c. p. II. LINERS WILL BE
BUILT FOR ATLANTIC

London.-Two more vessels are to
be built for the Atlantic service of
the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany. Tenders for the construction
of the new ships. which will be larg-
er than the same company's steamers
Empress of Britain and Empress of
ireland, have been deceived. but none
of these have as yet been accepted.
The Atlantic service of the Canadian
Pacific Railway came into being in
1908. when the company bought from
Elder Dempster & Co. 5 steamships
with which they established the SER
vice from Liverpool, Bristol and Lon
don. Antwerp was included in the
following year. AS already mention
ed, a service was established few
weeks ago between Canada and Tries
te by the Canadian Pacific and the
sailngs have met with much success.
The Empress of Britain and the
Empress of Ireland were added to
the Atlantic service in 1906. Messrs
Barclay. Curle & Co. are at present
building two vessels with passenger
accommodation for $50 second-class
and 1900 third-class, and also car
go capacity of 5000 tons.
The Pacific service of the company,
established in 1887 between Vancou-
Yer and the far east, is also being ex-
tended. Two new vessels, the En-
press of Russia and the Empress OF
Asia. both vessels with a tonnage of
1880 tons and speed of 21 knots,
will shortly be added to the service.
The Empress of Russia is at pres
ent on a tour round the world before
going on the regular route and the
Empress of Asia will also make the
tour very soon.
Altogether the fleet of the Canadi-
an Pacific Railway company, includ-
ing vessels under construction, num-
bers 75 vessels. This does not include
the two vessels to be built Tor the At
lantic service. The fleet employs H.
600 men ashore and afloat and con-
sumes 5000 tons of coal daily.

of an associated press franchise in
New York was estimated by the ex-

The net result Of the inquiry thus far
seemed to be that newspapers defy
ordinary standards Of valuation.
