THE BOY HEARD FROM

The relatives all gather round when gran
dad carves the turk,
On this glad day it seems about the finest
kind of work,
To sit down at the table when the bird is
steaming hot;
1t makes a feller happy, for he's surely
got a lot
OF blessings to be thankful for, no mat
ter what you say.
When he sights the plate Of good things
slowly coming down his way.
A feller who is sitting near the foot with
all the kids,
When the tarnel relatives have answered
to their bids,
And come and filed the table up. It makes
It kind Of late
Before he gets to carving up the things
that's on his plate.
It's pretty slow in coming II he has. by
any chance,
Been seated far away beyond his uncleS
and his aunts.
When he has been a-saving up his appe-
tite a week
And is so 'tarnel hungry that he finds it
hard to speak,
After all. it sometimes seems it's middlins
hard work
To have so many relatives WHICH gram
dad carves the turk.
Every last one wants a leg. but grandad
pays no heed
Except to say. You kids must think this

So one of us will get the neck, another
one the part
That's always last to clear tkS fence. an
other One the heart,
And a little gizzard and the wishbone al
most bare,
Just to jolly hirI along and MAKE him
glad he's there.
But there is plenty of good stun that
travels with the bird
To make us kids feel thankful that the
dinner has occurred.

ne'er been known to shirlx.

SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE.

Little Walter and Gerald had
ceased to wonder at the arrival Of an
other baby brother after a few weeks
had elapsed since that eventful oc-
casion. Their attention was now di-
rected to an importation of baby kit
tens.
Where do you s'pose those kittens
came from?' queried four-year-old
Gerald. Did the stork bring them
Just like baby brother?"
Seven-yearold replied with ponder.
Gus precision:
"Of course, not, silly. Storks couldn't
bring kittens. God made them. God
said, Let there be kittens and there
was kittens. '"-Harper's Magazine.

These Draws.

Col. Sigismund L. Goodwin, the
well-known tactician, said at a dinner
in Lincoln:
"A good deal of the war news-that
from Berlin no less than that from
London, Paris and Petrograd-reminds
me irresistibly of little Willie.
Papa said little Willie, looking
up from the Evening Bulletin extra

"A drawn battle, my son. the IA

and feasted, and they went out and
killed fine Deere, which they brought
to the Plantation and bestowed on our
GOvernour, and upon the Captaine and
others. And although it be not always
so plentiful, as it was at this time
with us, yet by the goodness of God,
we are SO fare from want, that we
often wish you partakers of our plen-
tie"
This was the very thing they had
condemned in others in England. Yet
when once they began to mingle
sports with religion in national holi-
days it grew rapidly. It is interest
ing to note that little later some
of the men excused themselves from
work on Christmas day from con-
scientious scruples. At noon the gov
ernOr found them playing stoOle-ball.
He confiscated their implements and
remanded them to their homes, mirth-
fully justifying his claim by saying,
that it was. against his conscience
that they should play and others
work" Whatever the Justice of the

new spirit of thanksgiving. 1t re-

The Governor of New York and
the Governor of Georgia

The people of New York and of the country commend
ing the the late admirable message of Martin
Gynn the Governor of New York.
The merit of Governor Gyms message is its straghfor
ward and fearless handling Of the question of the States
finances describing the situation of the State treasury
acute demanding heroic treatment and urging drastic
economies by looping off unnecessary ooehodes and conso
dating bureaus.
We not materially increase receipts said Gov
Glynn We must decrease expenditures. The tax
must be prepared either to shoulder heavy direct tax
discourage the illusion that the best legislator he who
brings back the largest appropriation from the State treasury
to his home district
1t great pity that such message Governor Glynn
could not be from the White House the Pork Barrel
congressman at Washington who all too ready
national and patriotic necessities for the sake of ap
preparations to the districts which expected to reeect them
But what Governor Gynn has spoken to such applause in
New York to the East Governor saton spoke with equal and
impressive force his campaign for election and in his
sage to the Legislature.
The question of necessary State economy has been only
eloquent theory but consistent practice with the Governor
of Georgia.
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts, said that Southern
statesmen might justly be criticised for caressness of
expenditures in their private affairs but that their scrpuous

System of Control.

This being the condition, why
attempt to meet it by stock the
orizing? The common sense de-
mana, growing out OF ages OF
extreme intermeddling, suggests
sane and positive regulation; and
the system of control now exist
ing, with the citizen and State
parties to the contract, is by far
the best regulation of the traffic
that any State ever did work out
under prohibitive legislation.
The locker club and the beer
saloon may be driven out of Geor-
gia-but whisky and beer will re-
main. Why? Because people de-
mand it.
Bad women were stoned from
Jerusalem during the Mosaic Pc
riod. Horrible that so meek
man as Moses should have al
lowed this unjust sex discrimina-
ton. But he did. Yet this did
not make bad women good. 1t
did not even keep other bad wom-
en- from growing up in the de-
serted places.
And bad women have contin-
ued to grow up in all places.
throughout the limit of time.
Why? Because bad men demand
them.
A traffic that Christ did not
stop 1000 years ago can not be
stopped to-day through frenzied
agitation.
They have been driven out of
the segregated district in AT
lanta. But will any honest man
say that they are not still IN At

less than 100000. Here's the ac-

Eoanthropus Dawsonii, though a
man of comparatively low in
Intelligence, was still far more
gifted in the matter of brain than
any ape yet discovered; yet the
capacity of his brain was far less
than that of the famous fossil man
of Spy and La Chapelle-Aux-
Saints, who, it is to be noted, had a
brain=case larger than that of the
average modern civilized man,
showing that during the last
100000 years or so we have di-
minished rather than increased in
brain power; and the signs of the
times seem TO indicate that we are
still on the down grade"

may not have been the possessor of
