HEIR LOVE NOT WANTED

Dear Miss LAbbey;
 love a young man very much and would like to know how to win his affection. He is in business very close Ito our grocery, and is always around during the day time when he's not busy speaking to me, but never about love. He is twenty-one years old, never drinks liquor. but has a habit of staying out nights very late. am told that am too young to think about him. am eighteen years old and talli far nay age, I would like very much to see my answer in your interesting columns. GRACIE.
 It is not wise to fall in love or think about this young man, who has not given you the least encouragement to imagine he cares for you He prob ably has another sweetheart. or he may be bethrothed to her. A young girl should never give her heart un- asked. Never indulge in day dreams over a young man if you cannot find out where he spends his evenings.

A FAINr-HEAFTED wooER

Dear Miss Idbbey:
 I would like to get your advice about B. certain matter. Five years ago moved away from a town in an ether states where there was a girl who had been my playmate during my childhood. was very fond Of her and she seemed so of me. Once in church, before I moved away, she had a song-boolk and offered to let n1e look on and sing with her. but was too modest and tirntd to accept her of- fer. Her mother often asked my mother to let me come to see her. These two things seem to indicate that she had some affection for me. After moving to New Orleans I became ab- sorbed in my work and never thought to write her until e few mon ths ago. when [ wrote her ana received a very niee letter in reply She is now & stu
 dent at college wrote her another letter, but have not heard from her since would you advise me to write her again and do you think that she cares for nne7
 No doubt the young lady Is too busy with her studies to give your letter the amount of time in the answering of 1t which she thinks 1t deserves and I is intending to write you a nice, long letter at her rst opportunity. Many a young man writes a dozen letters to the girl of his heart ere she deigns to reply. He considers himself lucky i to get that nneager one. Write regu- iiarly. rememebering it is the persist ent wooef who wins out.

TO-DAY'S POEM
THE CALL OF THE WILD.

I know a place where the fern is deep, And the giant frs wave high- And a rocky ledge hangs dark and
 steep, And a Iau ghing brook leaps by. And it's there to be with a soul that's
 free
 From the streets discordant jar. With a blanket spread on a cedar bed. And the voice of the world afar. I know pool in a. 1eafy dell That the wary trout love best, And g. tirnid trail to the chaperrel Where the red deer lie at rest. A night-bird's call when the shadows
 fall
 And a cougars eerie cry. A silence deep and a drearn1ess sleep Under the open sky.

 Of some loves were not ffclzle, this world would be paradise. It is no uncommon thing for a man to woo and win woman's heart, then, hweary1ng of the treasure, seek to cast it from him. Betrotha1s which last too long are very apt to pail upon a man. Love has frittered into friend ship. and friendship at last into toler- ance
 Tn the first flush of their engage ment he was anxious that all the world should know of it-that she was soon to be his bride He IS repentAnt sees his affection for her pefer1ng out. The square thing to dos the only hon. orab1e courses would be to have a candid talk with the girl and ask her to reltase him. There are men too cowardly to take this step She may have strong-armed brothers and fa- ther whom he would dread to submit this proposition to. If she were a strong minded, determined young wo- man, shc might decline to be played fast -and-loose with; drag him and his passionate bfiletdoux before a titter- ing jury.

The up- shot of the whole story is that a girl should be reconciled to the loss of a lover when she tfnds she has lost his heart AS for a man, he should re- fuse to marry when he realizes that his heart could not go with his hand !

A WORLD THANKSGIVING.
Why Should America Have Monopoly
of the HOLIDAY

of the Holiday
This being the Thanksgiving season.
1t 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 n day al
least In the brotherhood of thankful'
ness.
1t would be a beautiful idea if W.
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 a while to offer thanks
every other nation was doing the same
That would be a unity which has new
er yet been attained, but of which nc
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 gentile-can object
to it / should like to know the nature
of his objection. The feeling of CRATE
fitness is a common heritage of man
kind, and, as it is, why should man

her ~forefathers, and none but the old
est inhabitants could recall the times
when the family consisted of Judge
Joel Semple, his wife Elizabeth and
their children. Richard, Penelope and
Martha. The son vas a bitter disap-
pointment to the judge, because he re-
fused to study law and succeed his
father in that honorable profession.
Nature had endowed him with a talent
for reproducing her beauties. and he
wOrshiped before the shrine of Apollo
in preference to that of the wise Ath-
enc. AS a result be quarreled with the
judge and departed for Europe. For
several years he communicated with
Penelope, but finally his letters ceased
to arrive.
The gentle mother succumbed to an
attack of pneumonia and was followed
a year later by her younger daughter.
Shortly afterward the judge was dis
covered dead in his Office, a victim Of
apoplexy, and Penelope vas left to face
life alone in the large white house. She
exerted every effort to locate her
brother. only to experience failure.
In the days when there were many
branches to the family tree it was the
custom for the Semples to assemble at
the home of the judge for Thanksgiv-
ing. Since the death of her parents
Miss Penelope continued to throw open
the h%ospitable doors OF the white house
for Thanksgiving celebration.
For the twentieth time she waited in
happy anticipation the arrival of the
advance guest. Her eyes swept with
an appreciative glance the candlesticks
ly acquired brightness, the cut glass
decanters and the dustless mahogany
furniture ready for the morrow's feast.
The knocker summoned her to the
door, and. throwing it open. Penelope
greeted her cousin and his wife. From
that time on until late evening the
Semples continued to gather about tho
h~earthstone of the white house. The
evening was happily spent, the younger
generation dancing. while their elders
exchanged "reminiscences. and at mid
night they retired to await the dawn
Of Thanksgiving day.
Dinner time came in due season next
day, Miss Penelope seated her guests,
and the radiant circle was complete.
Then the various dishes were placed
upon the board-roasts. broiled fish.
vegetables. pastries and sweetmeats.
and each We'd with the other in quality
and toothsomeness. They crunched the
celery. reveled in the Drowned sweet
potatoes and nodded approval at the
pumpkin pies. There stole oyer every
one a sense of peace and contentment,
which comes when love and kindness
permeate the atmosphere.

his chair and. holding aloft a slender
