God complacently for our harvests,
and our food, and our clothes, and his
love. Isn't it SOP"
YES" 1 admitted.
Well" continued the girl, "the Pill
grims did that, too, years ago. But
they did not stop there. After they
thanked God for their own blessings
they tried to pass on the Joy to folk
less fortunate than they were. They
even invited the Indians, beings that
they had every reason to be afraid of,
into their homes and gave them a lit
tie of the seasons cheer. They kept
Thanksgiving"
THEM was choosing my words
rather carefully-"then your idea is
not to be thankful yourself-only to
give someone else a chance to be
thankful"
But" asked the girl softly, isn't
that the right way to be thankful"
Isn't it?
It's very easy thing to pass along
the outside Of life without even dip
ping down into the depths, and ever so
many people do it because it is the
easiest way. Somehow it is hard to
convince folk that things that tear at
their heartstrings are the things that
they should see and know. It's mighty
easy to eat our Thanksgiving dinners
without thought of our brothers and
sisters who are starving on some other
street in the same city, and it's only
because it is so much easier, reckon,
that people do forget to pass bit Of
their plenty and peace.
But, as write, can't help thinking
OF filled-to-overfowing baskets chat
have seen in missions, Of eager chill
dren grasping fat turkeys, of mothers
crying happy tears over coal and wood
that will keep them warm and happy.
l can't help having my mind slip away
from the well-filled tables and the
happy smiles and the cheerful COM
monplaces of our own country, to the
dreary homes in Europe that are being
frightened because the people of this
land were Willingness, more than
willing-to share their blessings with
others.
Oh, friends OF mine, it's the easiest
thing in the world to look for trouble,
and it isn't very hard to find people
who are fretting and crying and count
ing their blessings in negative sort
of way instead of just being happy.
But somehow, when we stop to look
around us and think, the world seems
to be pretty nice place at Thanks
giving time.-Margaret E. Sangster,
Jr., in Christian Herald.

ZARMINSKl ExCELS IN NAVY
Won sour Navy" Belt by Defeating
Jimmy GIavin--Has Beaten Every
Man in His Class.

The United States navy now mum
bers over $1,000 men, and they are all
perfect physically, or as near so as
they can be found, for Uncle Sam has
no use for detectives or cripples. And
it would be hard to find finer lot of
men in the world, no matter where the
search might be made. Therefore,
when man is considered the best in
bunch like that, he must be pretty
husky fellow. Such fellow is George
Zarminski.
In crew Of 1000 the man who is
considered the best on the ship can
get the honor only by proving his
worth. And it is a real honor to be
counted the best man in a ship crew.
for they are Some fellows, those
fighting lads. But when it comes to
being not only the best man in a
ships crew, but the best in the whole
navy, there is no question of mans
physical supremacy.
Zarminski has beaten every man in
his class who thought he could box
in the whole United States navy. He
has in his possession the Our Navy
belt, which he won by defeating Jimmy
Glavin. Zarminski has fought such
men as George Chip, and beaten
Knockout Brown of Chicago. Though
he is not a professional fighter, he
likes to try his skill against the best
men he can meet wherever he happens
to be stationed.

RANDOM ASK CHEAPER SEATS
Indications of Extension of ascent
Accommodation - High-BroW
Patrons in Minority.

Though the major league cannot see
the ten-cent baseball idea-un1ess
there is a radical reduction in salaries
of pIayers-there are indications that
there will be an extension Of the 25-
cent accommodations.
In most of the league parks the
bleachers have been shrinking from
year to year; except in the West, 25-
cent ball has been something in name
only. The western clubs have main
tanned big bleacher capacity, and now
the eastern clubs have seen a great
light and are planning to increase
their two-bit capacity by opening more
space to size bleacherite patron.
There is a lot Of truth in the plea
that the division of seating capacity
can be improved upon. If baseball is
to be maintained as popular institu-
ton more accommodations (and better
accommodations) must be furnished
the ascent and the 50-cent fan. II
those accommodations are lacking, the
common variety of fan is likely to turn
his attention to the amateur brand Of
ball, leaving the major league mag
nate nothing but his high-brow pa
irons to depend on-and highbrows,
while necessary to life, are not in the
majority.

VITALITY IS REQUIRED
Interesting Question Furnishes
Matter for Discussion.
Water Polo and Ice Hockey Tax
Strength of Athlete Most, Says an
Expert-Running Is CIassed
as Strenuous Game.

Which sport is it that takes the
most out of the bodies of those who
participate in it? This interesting
question should furnish matter for an
endless discussion. Which is it? Sure,
ly not cricket or golf. One expert
who has played them all says that the
honor lies between water polo and
ice hockey. They're equally rough
says he. "In the, one you may be

at intervals of five or ten seconds.

essarily just bit slower than that on

Running, of course, is strenuous
game, but to those perfectly trained
Tabers, Hohlemainens, Merediths, ETC.,
the strain is not an undue one-and
it's over quickly. Tennis, in times

PASS ON The Joy
OF THANKSGIVING
Making Others Glad Should Be
Considered One of the Chief
Duties of the
Season.

RT'S the easiest thing in the world
to look for trouble and to find it
waiting, grim and terrible, for
your search. 1t isn't very hard to
count your blessings in a negative
sort of way, by saying, Eyes, it's very
nice, but it could be much nicer" It's
quite the usual thing to hear folk COM
plain-and complaining is heard more
often than praise and thankfulness.
Yet-so they tell us-a little over three
hundred years ago band of sturdy,
venturesome Christian folk were very
thankful indeed and praised their Lord
fervently over a handful of parched
corn and bit of unleavened bread.
Once year we set apart day, con-
secrated to their memory, and try to
throw aside the customs and complain
ings of the world as we know it. We
gather ogether-families of us-and
eat turkey and plum pudding; we talk
of commonplaces and sometimes we
feel bored and tired. Yet we are sup
posed to be celebrating.
We have bushels of things to be
glad for this year-hundreds; it seems
more than we ever had. AS we offer
up our blessings it won't be hard to
remember that across a dividing bit
of ocean other people are starving to
death, and that ought to make us just
a bit more thankful. AS we see our
families sitting around talking COM
mOnplaces it may help us to think of
other families in other countries that
are fighting and dying on blood-stained
battlefields. AS we hear the crisp No
vember wind banging in the trees, we
ought to be mighty thankful that it
and screams that we're hearing. Oh,
friends of mine, it won't be very hard
to be thankful this year!
