A WORLD THANKSGIVING.
Why Should America Have Monopoly
of the Holiday?

Why Should America Have Monopoly
of the Holiday?
This being the Thanksgiving season
it should be the proper time to ask why
the United States of America has a
monopoly on the celebration of a day
of thanks to the supreme Giver for the
blessings he has conferred.
Why is there not a day of universal
thanks, when all the civilized nations
of the earth could get together for one
day and proffer their thanks for the
blessings they have received? Every
civilized nation recognizes a supreme
Ruler and Author of all good, and Chris
tan, Jew, Mohammedan, Buddhist and
Confucian could unite for one day at
least in the brotherhood of thankful
ness.
1t would be beautiful idea if we
in America who instituted this day of
thanks could pass its spirit all around
the world and know that on this day,
when we pause while to offer thanks,
every other nation was doing the same.
That would be unity which has new
er yet been attained, but of which no
man of any faith can give any good
and sufficient reason for its noneXist-
ence.
There is absolutely no argument
against a day of universal thanks. and
If anybody-Jew or gentie-can object
to it l should like to know the nature
of his objection. The feeling of CRATE
fulness is common heritage of man
kind, and, as it is. why should man
kind hesitate to become a unit in its
acknowledgement? We can have world
expositions. world congresses. world
societies, world tribunals, so why not
world Thanksgiving day?-W. J. Lamp
ton in Letter to New York World.

TOO MUCH HONOR.
It Came With Such Rush 1t Forced
aGudden RESIGNATION.

j William Collier, the actor, has a
twelve-yeaI-oId son and Il country
home at st. James, on Long Island.
One day in the spring the youngster
came TO him and said that he had just
been elected captain-manager of his
ball club, and in view of the honor
conferred upon him he desired to show
his appreciation in a substantial man
ner. He thought it would be rather a
graceful thing if he presented his team
mates with tent. under which they
might hold their business sessions and
map out campaigns against the rival
mines Of the neighborhood.
So Collier senior donated the tent
and table and dozen camp chairs
for furnishings and provided site for
it on his lawn. After the canvas had
been pitched and the boys had assem-
bled therein the donor slipped down
to the back of the tent and hid there,
with his eye at crack, in order to
hear and see how the boys conducted
their meeting. He arrived just in time
to hear his son say:
"My father gave US this tent, so /
move we eectshim an honorary mem
ber'
This motion was carried unanimous
ly amid applause.
The first baSeman stood up.
"Mr. Manager" he said, we need
some uniforms-regula uniforms. How
are we going to get them?'
II move said the chairman, that
the honorary member be permitted to
buy the uniforms"
BY acclamation this motion also was
adopted.
"We need some new bats and dozen
balls and catcher's mask and chest
protector and a lot of gloves, too"
stated another voice.

the honorary member be allowed to
furnish those things
There was not a dissenting voice
among those present.

Great was the merriment when it
was realized that the hostess had not
contemplated parting with her cher
ished glasses. But Mr.. Field was not
yet content. Returning them to the

the butler, he took up tray of old bot

pretending to stumble, dropped it on
the floor, apparently SCATTERING the val

The feelings of the hostess may be

committed suicide. "Dyck." as his

to his master as his master was to

refusing every atom of food. The dog
was taken out one day, but he was
hardly in the street when he ran in
front of tramcar The driver was
able to stop in time, and "Dyck" es-
capped without scratch But as soon
as the vehicle moved on he repeated
the performance and was crushed.

THE TRUE THANKSGIVING.
By Rev. DR.. JOSEPH KRAUSKoPF Of
Philade lphla.

II is we'll that our fathers in
stituted the day of Thanksgiv-
ing on which to be made con-
scious of the countless blessings
that surrounded them and of
their many obligations to rem
der praise and thanksgiving to
the author Of them all. In re-
turn for Gods mercy we should
think of those in our midst not
so blessed as we and give them
also opportunity for being
thankful and for rejoicing. The
truly grateful feels that God
does not lavish his blessings
upon the earth so that a few
may enjoy a great abundance
while others live in want. IL is
wrong for one to enjoy the feast
and for another to endure the
fast.
The truest joy is that which
springs from bringing Joy to
others. The truest gratitude is
in that act which gives to others
the opportunity for being CRATE
ful. The truest wealth is that
which kindness stores up in the
heart of the sorrowing and suf-
fering. Our noblest acquisitions
live only in our charity.
