IS hH.ERICE'S DAY
When Prayers Of Thanksgiving
Arise From Hearts of Crate
fui Nation.
EMORY J. HAYNES.

NID you ever see the sun rise out
of the ocean? For nearly four
hours the dawn of Thanksgiving
day has been feeling its way westward
across the sea before it breaks On
America. Half a league onward,
the gray light creeps over the un-
iuhahitable waste of waters. The
new faint light cohorts of outriders
are scouting ahead of the monarch sun.
They are seeking the coast Of Maine,
feeling for the Cape of Hatteras. For
this is to be a great day in America.
If the sun were a god, marching
over the Atlantic spaces, one would
put the words in his mouth: "You
ships on which I fash, I am not con-
tent with you alone, nor with you
lighthouses, which l now touch with
my spears Of sunbars. | seek a CON
tiBent Of grateful human dwelling, |
gild church spires, bUrnish the white
walls of great cities, CLEAN in farm
house windows, the homes Of men. 1t
is not a day Of toll but of thankful,
Joyous rest. | will march over the
vast areas Of mighty states, cross rtv.
ers and lakes, climb the Saharas and
beyond. before ! slip again into the
Pacific ocean. For this is a day set
apart to me. Men are waiting, out
of harness, for the sunbeams. ac-
knowledge their tokens. make the
American flag beautiful everywhere in
my blue sky, thousands of flags dip,
ping to give thanks. do hear the ring
ing of bells, the shouts of play, the
laughter of kinsmen greeting kinsmen,
and the voice of a nations prayer"
But the sun is no god. A day is
merely a stretch Of hours. There is
Maker Of the sun who trains it to be
but the servant of his children. There
is an All-Seeing Eye which views lis at
our grateful Offices. Let US try to
think Of it that way. Then the day
has meaning.
Thinking of it all in that way, what
sublime day it is, A whole youth
full nation with uplift hands and merry
hearts. This nation has been, al
times, in tears. Today it bursts into
laughter and the sounds of thankful
ness-the fragrance of a feast fills
the air. 1t is very festival Of char
ity, when none is proud or selfish
when the poor are not forgotten.
Have you ever watched the clouds
awaking by mists rising by the
advancing sun? What a spectacle il
would be if, from star, one coult
witness this uprising of sun-toucheC
vapor from valley to plain across {
continent. So does the nations praise
arise with incense Of thanksgiving
Remember that, by this figure, we ar
seeking to make our answering ado
ration visible to our minds.
And there is no beauty in sunse
except If there be clouds to take OF
the gliding. So may the evening be
of this glad day, for THE Lord God /
our sun and shield" When the da.
Is done may heavens blessings, ye
to be sent us, be more than the eve
ming stars for multitude. Stars O
stars, the light from many a star is S
distant that it has never yet reaches
US. But it is on the way.

A BOYS THANKFULNESS.

I'M thankful that I've got daddy

He always calls me Little Lady"
And says at I'm his hearts delight;
He often sets ME on his shoulder
And helps to fill the house VIII noise;
He's bigger than I am and older
But mother calls US her two boys.
I'm thankful that he never worries
Because my hands amt nice and white
I'm thankful that he always hurries
Back home to us when it gets night;
I'm always thankful when it's Sunday,
Cause when it's Sunday. why, you set
He doesn't haft TO work till Monday
Or do thing but play with me.
=
I'm thankful that he never scolds me
Except when I've been actin bad;
And every night almost he holds me
Tight in his arms and says he's glad;
Our blessins mother says, are many,
And, gee, but wouldn't it be fine
If every body that hasn't any
Could have daddy Just like mine?

Thlnns 10 Be Thankful For.

The sentiment of gratitude is one
that there is small risk of finding too
much in evidence. 1t is not possible
to grow from childhood to manhood
or womanhood without implicit de-
pendence upon others, without in
curing obligations and running deep
ly into debt--frst Of all to the God
who made us, then to our parents who
saHeguarded our helpless infancy, then
to the friends who assisted us on our
way. T. Is impossible for us to make
adequate repayment or return for ali
these benefits. What has been done
for us in our creation and our sus-
tenance, in all the generous provision
Of love and of sympathy that sur
rounds US, is beyond reckoning or
ysluation--it is without money and
without price. But we may at least
from time to time express our graft
tude TO the Giyer Of all good gifts. We
may occasionally voice our thankful
ness that we are alive and that our
plain duty lies before US, and that
there Is useful work to Occupy our
hearts and souls and senses. Above
all, there is the great gift of loye-the
love that transfgures life and makes
it worth while to keep on trying to
puzzle out the riddle of eyistence-the
love that fills the universe and, &C.
cording to Dante, moves the SUI and
the other stars. Philadelphia Ledg

Not Guilty.

There had been a railway collision
near a country town in Virginia, and
a shrewd lawyer had hurried from
Richmond to the scene Of the disaster.
He noticed an old colored man with a
badly injured head, and hurried up to
him where he lay moaning on the
ground
How about damages?' began the
lawyer.
But the sufferer waved him off.

Because of the chances about me,
Because in the thick Of the thrOng
l have brothers who never will doub
me-
l am thankful to have as my right
The freedom true manhood inherits;

For an honest reward Of my merits.
l am thankful that no one may weep
Because I am cunning or greedy,
Because If I sow l may reap
Without bringing grief to the needy;

On me for their freedom from sorrow;

I am glad that still may believe
That kindness is not out of fashion.

The Golden Corn.

Heap nigh the farmers wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn!
Nc richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands, exulting. CLEAN

The cluster from the vine
But let the good old corn adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us for his golden corn
Send up our thanks to God

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones

AncIents uset Gas Warfare.

The earliest use of deleteriOus gases
in siege warfare is recorded in the
history of the Peloponnesian wars
from 431 to 404 B. c. During this
struggle between the Athenians and
Spartans and their respective allies
the cities Of Platea and Delium were
besieged.
Wood saturated with pitch and sui
phur was set on, fire and burned under
the walls of these cities in order to
generate choking and poisonous fumes
which would stupefy the defenders
and render the task OF the attacking
forces less difficult.

On the right side of forty and slender

From ills that keep others complaining

A child to disturb or distress me;
I am thankful because he is glad
To labor to feed and to dress me.
