Post Placards Demanding Peace

London, Nov. %, 3.03 A. M.-The
Copenhagen correspondent of the
Daily MALI says he learns from Ber-
lin that plaeards are posted nightly
in the suburbs of the German capital,
demanding peace and containing
threats. The police tear the posters
down, but they always appear the next
night, says the correspondent, and the
authorities do not seem anxious to catch
the offenders for fear Of drawing fur
ther attention to the peace agitation.

Each side Of me yawned a bottom
less abyss Of empty ether. and far
ahead the endless silvery road
stretched before me, a narrow rib
bon of light from which the slight
est swerve would precipitate me into
space. The cold air scared my eye
balls like fire and stopped my breath.
My spine ached as if pierced with
a million red-hot needles. my arms
stiffened with the awful strain, and
l moved the steering wheel me-
c%hanically, while the terrific clip at
which I was travelling constantly in
creased. Comets crumbled beneath
by flying wheels. a trail Of scintil-
lating star dust lowered behind me.
and l narrowly avoided collision
with the sun and 400 as l flew.
But when, sick and throbbing from
head to foot with intense WEAKNESS.
l strOve to slacken my mad pace, a
terrible voice that filled the vast
spaces of the sky and r~everberated
through unguessable deserts Of dis
lance babe me in thunder tones:
Speed on
Centuries passed like seconds in
my wild flight through eternity, and
l beheld great worlds darken and
die into masses Of cinders that still
continued to revolve in their orbits,
a constant menace to my lurching,
rocking car, and to the cars Of other
chaIffeurs that trayersed the uni
verse in different directions, each
driver bound to his wheel forever
by a sentence from which there was
no appeal.
"And the whole immense vault
was filled with the road Of count

less wheels, and the c~easeless throb-
bling Of millions Of motors Ill blend
ing in a mighty diapason Of sound
which was dominated By that aw-
full bodiless voice which from time
to time issued its grim command:

The chauffeur's dream was also
heard without comment. perhaps be-
cause there was nothing to say since
each had had a similar uncanny ex-
perience In the House Of Dreams.
But strange to relate, when the
party again entered the forest on
the return trip nc inn was to be e g
on the spot where they had passed
such a disagreeable night, only a
heap Of moldering timbers and the
remains of a fallen chimney over
which trailed wild blackberry vines
and poison ivy. the growth of many
years.

When his hoarse voice died away,
there was silence for fully five min
utes. His story, like the coquette's,
needed no comment, the lesson was
plain.
The leather-coated chauffeur was
the first to speak, slowing the car
down until it barely moved through
the murmuring yistas Of woodland.

She smiled up at the rugged, kindly
face that was dimly visible by the
flashes of light.
II shall not be afraid of anything
with you to take care of me. l re-
member how good you we're to Dick"
"Sho', now! l didn't do anything
for him.. He was mighty good to me
when hit the Stag pile; that is, when
I was down on my luck, you know"
Il know what you did," she said,
softly, and her voice was like strain
of music across the wind that drifted
down from the mountain. "He told
me how you were his friend when he
first came to the mines, a 'tenderfoot
he called it, and how you Knocked
out Big Stoker when he tried to play
pranks on him. Then he told me
about the time you went prospecting
together on the west slope. 1t seems
to me that I have gone over that trail
scores of times. have felt the desert
sun blaze down on me till every drop
of blood in my veins turned to fire.
And then the climb away up the
mountain, stumbling over rocks and
slipping on smooth slides and scaling
almost vertical slopes, and then the
top, shivering in the cold, freezing in
the sharp winds"
1T is a little coldishlike nights,
waitin fer the sun to rise; but, lordy!
amt it fine sight when she does git
up? 1t kind O. pays fer settin' round
on top O. the hill tryin' to keep warm
by a brush fire that goes out mos as
soon as it kindles."
Then that time Dick slipped on
glare of ice and fell down the side of
the mountain into a crevice, and you
crawled down and found him there
hurt so that he could not move, and
you put your own coat around him to
keep him warm and sat against the
wind to shelter him from it. You set
his broken ankle and nursed him
through all the days that he was help
less, watching him day and night
You scarcely ate anything in all the
time that Dick could not be moved,
lest the food that you had brought for
the journey should give out and Dick
might suffer. Then, when he was
able to bear the motion, you carried
him in your arms down to the plain
and to the little station and took care
of him till he was WE'LL
"Sho', now! Did Dick tell you all
that stuff"
'He would have died that time if it
had not been for you"
That's nothin' fer a man to do"
Il think it is a great thing for
man to do. 1t shows friendship, and
/ think that is not common thing
in life"

and individual prosperity, as so often
implied, is to overlook the greater
causes of gratitude Every now and
then pathetic instances bring out the
heartfelt expression that 'if one has
health he has everything" Position
and possessions count for little COM
pared to the simple retention of
health. So, if a man or woman today,
unblessed by possession of the wealth
or prosperity they think they ought
to have, will ponder upon the bless
ing of health or upon the preserva-
ton of the lives and health of those
near and dear to them throughout the
year they must find deeper cause for
thanksgiving than any mere incre
ment in material things. This is the
true reverence, the genuine spirit of
thanksgiving.
But in expressing this spirit in
Thanksgiving services, in gladness and
feasting, it must not be forgotten that
the true thanksgiving must come from
the heart, and will find its fullest ex-
preston in kindly act, in considera-
ton of those less fortunate and in as
sisting to make others equally thank
full. The thankfulness that is limited
to self is ungracious and unworthy.
Yet even in temporal affairs the ma
ton as whole has cause for graft
tude. No country has been more
blessed with abundance of crops. In
dustrial and commercial conditions
are normal. We have been spared
from any great disasters. AS a ma
ton we are at peace with the world
The census shows splendid
growth We face the future not only
with confidence but enthusiasm.

First American Thanksgiving.

We have come to look upon Thanks
giving day as one of feasting and
pleasure. 1t may differ from that of
our grandsires, but it's not so very
far from the customs of the pilgrim
fathers who first instituted the custom
in New England. Did you ever have
an account Of the first American
thanksgiving? The Puritans were ac
customed to somber religious observ-
began to change the method of giving
thanks. The transition was gradual,
but occasionally the unexpected was
thrust upon them in a very positive
way.

He assisted Miss Lyleford to mount

ney was begun, the miner leading the
burro along a narrow winding path
that ran across the foothills and along
the edge of the canyon that opened
darkly into the heart of the range. The
sun went suddenly behind the noun

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

From north and from south come the pill
grim and guest,
When the gray-haired New Highlander
sees round his board,
The old broken links of affection re-
stored,
When the care-wearied man seeks his
mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the
girl smiled before.
This was the spirit of old-time
Thanksgiving.
