Watershed Tract

The city has purchased from Coun-
Gilman Cornelius tract of land in

deemed exceedingly low. h

and individual prosperity, as 20 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,s 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 10 the
true reverence. the genuine spirit OF
thanksgiving.
But in expressing this. spirit In
Thanksgiving services, in gladpess and
feasting, it must bot 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.
Z Yet even in temporal affairs the ma,
tion as whole has cause for graft

blessed with abundance of crops. In

from any great disasters AS na
ton we are at peace with the world

growth. We face the future not only

our grandsires, but it's not 50 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 obsery-
ances. but the spirit of a new world
began to change the method of giving
thanks. The transition was gradual,
but occasionally the unexpected was

When the gray-haired New Englander
sees round his board
The old broken links of affection re-

When the care-wearied man seeks his

And the worn matron smiles where the

This was the spirit of old-time

<N ing sentiment for the
1872 splendor of good-fel-
1owship, for the charm of simplicity
and the peace that comes from con-
tented heart, that marked the old-time
Thanksgiving, there woEld be no re-
greet for the good old days that are
gone. But why can't they be con-
jured back again that we might cher
isff the generous spirit of that house
hold festival?
1t is the character of the day that
we would have back again-the after
math of the harvest, with its spirit
of joyousness; the bounteous feast
gathering together the family, making
sacred the beauty of home ties.
In old New England a 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 so elaborate as it was
bountiful and not so luxurious as
healthful, but replete with a rare
kindness and grace.
And when the feast was over, and
the long afternoon of sport and games
was spent, and the shadows of eve
ming closed round, the great assem-
blage crowded about the huge fire
place How gayly the popcorn splut-
tered. how clear was the cider passed

In convoy of the British cruiser Els

I'VE left Liverpool August and
were one day at sea when the Maure-
tania's newspaper printed the declara-
ton of war between Germany and
England. Mr. Blatz said. 1.-THE an
nOuncement caused no excitement, as
IL was expected.
IF we were chased by the kaiscr's
warships none of us knew il. Last
Thursday the vessel changed her course
and an hour later we reached Halifax
harbor. The Essex was near ms. Not
a passenger sighted warships, hostile or
friendly. In fact the only man-of-war
we saw was the Essex. Our trip was
uneventiul.
I'VE remained in Halifax until Fri
day, when we boarded trains and came
