Our Laws Inadequate.

We want to say to convention ora

magnificent system Of corporation
lass that are alleged to help and
protect the agricultural interests,
that the farmers cannot use cor
poration laws in transacting the
business Of farming and the pro-
tectlge feature Of many of these
laws that are periodically heralded
as saving the country, have proved
a boomerang to the farmer. We
will mention few cases. Take
the antitrust law. That is a leg

but inadequate in application. Per-

She smiled up at the rugged, kindly

down from the mountain. HE told
me how you were his friend when he
first came to the mines, 'tenderfoot,'
he called it, and how you knocked
out Big Stoker when he tried to play

about the time you went prospecting

crawled down and found him there

you put your own coat around him to

his broken ankle and nursed him
through all the days that he was help

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 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 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.

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-
ances, but the spirit of new world
began to change the method of giving
thanks. The transition was gradual,
but occasionally the unexpected was
thrust upon them in very positive
way,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

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.

STOOD on the platform looking over at

"Be you Miss Lyleford?'
The girl looked attentively at the
shaggy face as if with view of clas-
styling it and assigning it a place in
the vast museum of human nature be-
fore admitting her identity.
Il am. You, suppose, are Mr..

''Yas; I'm Dicks pard."

Dicks my pardner," he said, quietly.

Dicks my pardner," he said, quietly.
Miss Lyleford had heard men say
he is my brother" with less of the
finality of self-surrender that was ex-
pressed in the simple statement of the
relationship of this miner with his
friend. She heard a soldier say once
He is my comrade," with something
of the deep, soft, earnest information or
her escort
A note in the sound of her voice re-
minded him of voice he used to
know away back in the years-his
boyhood years-when he used to play
with girl in the schoolhouse yard.
That voice had drifted away in ST.
lence long ago and he had not thought.
of it for years. except sometimes
when he lay awake nights and heard
soft wind sweep through the pine
trees. To his ear the wind had an
undertone of sadness, as If it might
have drifted over a grave.
A blaze of lightning lit up the noun"
tain pathway. From the narrow ledge
that wound around steep wall of
rock the girl looked down into the
depths of canyon that seemed to
open into the heart of the earth.
BALKAN will take you safe through.

She looked up into the kindly, reas-
surfing face, and smiled confidently.
II am not afraid; but it all seems

full. 1t is uplifted so far above the

Dick had told me where he come

thought mebbe you lived back where

be all he had, and then l sent the
telegram hoping you might get it and

"You and I are all he has, and we
will save him."
The man lifted his face up toward
the dark sky.
Yes, please God, we'll save him"
They had left the narrow defile and
were on high plateau.

That is our camp. We have no houses

That is his tent that has the light
in 1t. Away over there, where the
clouds have divided and there is q

They fixed their gaze on the white
tent and silence fell upon them until
they had reached the little cluster OF

1t is the character of the day that

In old New England hustle of
preparation began long before the ap-
pointed day. The turkey, strutting in
naughty disregard of his fate, was
watched with furtive eyes and fed
with liberal care. The pumpkins were
gathered and lay with faces upturned
to the sun. Vegetables, fruits, nuts,
raisins and citron were heaped in plen-
ty upon the pantry shelf. And within,
the house was aglow in joyful antici-
patton of the coming guests-a true
hospitality, not 30 elaborate as it was
bountiful and not SO luxurious as
healthful, but replete with a rare
kindness and grace.

Thanksgiving Should Find Its Best
Expression In the Doing of Some
Kindly Act.

To limit reasons for thankfulness to
mere material abundance, to national
