THANKSGIVING
WASJUSTA AN
AVERAGED DAY
Only Three Thanksgivings Out of Last
Eight Were Clear.

Thanksgiving Day this year was
warm in comparison with Thanks

was 81 degrees and the minimum was
81 degrees and the day was cloudy.

For few moments Bad Anse Havey
did not speak, and Juanita dropped al
most Imply into the chair he had
pushed forward. Havey paced the mar
row length Of the room, pausing once

dead man. At last he came and took
his place squarely before her by the
hearth, both hands thrust deep into
his coat-pockets. A long black lock
fell over his forehead and he lmpa-
tiently shook it back.

deliberate voice, we've said some

KEEP CHILDREN
OFF THE RIVER
UNTIL SAFE

Now that the cold weather has come
it would be good idea for parents to
warn their children about skating I'M
till the ice is thick enough for safety.
A prominent business man who re-
Gently returned from a business trip
in Northern Minnesota said to Re-
porter representative that there were
many cases of drowning in that part
of the state because of children VEN
turing on the ice when it was not of
sufficient thickness to be safe.
While we have not had any actual
skating as yet, still some of the child
rem have been out on the shore ice
along the river.
1t was suggested by the business
man quoted in the foregoing, that the
city authorities ought to take the mat
ter up and provide for some sort of
policy Of the river until the ice is
absolutely safe. The object being to
COMPEL children to keep off the ice
and thereby prevent accidents. Of
course, if parents allow their child
rem to go skating or sliding before the
ice is safe, the parents themselves are
responsible if accidents occur.

out OF her words. Her knees seemed
too weak to support her, and for the
first time in her life, as she looked
into the face of Anse Havey, ominous-
ly blanched with rage, she was physi-
cally afraid of a man.
His eyes seemed to pierce her with
the stabs of rapiers, and in his quiet
self-repression was something omi-
nous. For moment he did not permit
himself to speak, then he thrust a
chair forward and said in a level,
toneless sort OF voice: IF ye're all
through now, mebby ye'd better sit
down. Such eloquence as that's liable
ter tire ye out right smartly."
The girl made no move to take the
chair, and Anse Havey took one step
forward and pointed to it. This time
his voice came quick and sharp, like
the crack of a mule-whip.

Nothing More To Invent?

Someone pouring over the old files
n the United States Patent Office at
Washington the other day found a let
Ter written in 1888 that illustrates the
limitations of the human imagination.
1t was from an old employee of the
Patent Office, offering mis- resignation
% the head of the department. His
reason was that everything inveata-
would soon be discontinued and there
would be no further need of his service
Die had been invented the Patent Office
Or the services of any of his fellow
clerks. He, therefore, decided to leave
before the blow fell.
Everything inevitable had been in
vented! The writer of this letter jour
neyed an stage coach or canal boat.
He had never seen a limited train or
an ocean greyhound. He read at night
oy candle light, if read at all in the
evening; more likely he went to BED
soon after dark and did all his reading
by daylight. He had never seen a
house lighted by illuminating gas.
The arc and incandescent electric
lights were not to be invented for
nearly half century.
If he had ever heard of electricity
he thought of it as the mysterious
fluid that strikes from the clouds dur
ing a thunderstorm. That it could
be harnessed to do mans will had
aever occurred to him.
He never heard the clicking of a
telegraph sounder. The telephone
would have seemed as wonderful to
him as voyage to the moon. Motion
pictures would have reminded him of
black art. and the idea that machine
could be invented whereby man would
fly above the clouds like bird, ascend
ing and descending at will, would have
semed absurd
The modern printing press, the limo
type machine, which seems almost to
think; the X-ray, by means of which
surgeons diagnose disease and injury
and lay out their work with scientif-
ic certainty, these things were yet to
be invented long after he was dead
He could not imagine the automobile
now so common that they cover the
streets and roads of all the world
He could not dream that a canon
would be made to throw projectile
more than twenty miles, that repeat
ing rifles, revolvers, and machine guns
would be invented, that steel monsters
under the seas with the power to send
a liant ocean liner to the bottom with
in a matter Of moments.
He lacked the imagination to see all
the thousands and tens of thousands
of comparatively small inventions that
have come into being since his day,
some Of them for good and some for
evil, but all telling a story of progress
of one sort or another. Probably in
this he did not differ from most of his
fellowmen IN his day. 1t is very likely
most of his friends agreed with him
that the limit of invention had been
reached.
He seems unfortunately deficient in
imagination and optimism, as we read
of his letter Of resignation in the mus
ty files Of the Patent Office. But let US
not take too much JUNCTION to our souls
We are quite as ignorant of what the
next eighty years may bring forth as
he was of the future OF American in
ventions.

Ing at her side with both arms about
her mothers dropping shoulders.
Juanita bent and impuIsiyely kissed
the withered face, but the woman only
stirred a little, like a half-wakened
sleeper, and looked stolidly up. After
a while she spoke in the lifeIess, far
away tone of utter Iethargy.
'Ef ye'G like ter see him, jest lift
up Their sheet. He's alayin' thar "
Then once more she sank back into
the coma of her staring at the hearth
with its dead ashes.
Then the door opened, letting in two
men, and in them Juanita recognized
Je5 McNash and Bad Anse Havey.
AZ their coming Dawn looked up,
drawing away from the embrace of
the older girl, and retreated 81 -ntly
to a corner, as though ashamed OF
having been discovered in tears. For
a few moments there was silence in
the room, complete except for the rap
OF Jeb's pipe when he knocked out it's
ashes against the chimney.
Bad Anse stood with folded arms In
the dim light and gave no sign that he
had recognized the presence of the
Turin" woman.
The boy jerked his head toward the
hearth and said in a strained, hard
voice: set ye a cheer, Anse," and
after that no ore spoke jobs thin
but muscular chest rose and fell to

face was wrapped black in a scowl
that made his eyes smolder and his
lips snarl. Juanita had dropped back
to one Of the beds with Dawn's face
buried in her lap
Then, as if rousing from a long
dream, Mrs. McNash looked up, and
for the first time appeared to realize
that her son and his companion had
entered the place.
The dead Darkness left her pupils,
and into them leaped a hateful fire.
Her voice came in shrill and high
pitched questioning: wall, Jeb, hev
ye got him yit?"
The boy only shook his head and
glowered at the wall, while his moth
er's voice rose almost to a scream.
"Hain't We a goin' ter do noUhIn'?
Thar lays yore pap what nuver harmed

ye hear him a-callin' on yer ter SETTLE

Juanita felt the slender figure in her
embrace shudder at the flashing inyec-
tive that fell from the mothers lips.
She saw the boys face whiten; saw
him rise and turn to Bad Anse Havey,
half in ferocity, half in pleading.
"Maw's right, Anse," he doggedly
declared. q KANT tarry hyar no
longer. He b1ongs ter me. I've got
ter go out an kill him. Thar hain't
but one thing a-stoppin' me now" he
added helplessly. Il don't know who
did it; hain't got no notion"
He stood before the clan chief, and
the latter rose and laid one hand on
the shoulder which had begun to trem-
BILE. Man and boy looked at each
other, eye to eye, then the elder Of the
two began to speak.
"Jeb, I don't want ye to think l
don't feel for ye, but ye don't know
who the teller is, an We can't hardly
go shootin' permiscuous. Ye've got
to btde your time"
