the source Of all blessings and to our
selves as the unworthy recipient of
these blessings. In word 1t is to be
of broken and contrite spirit before
Him.
This is possibly what the Psalmist
had in mind when he wrote the sixty
fifth psalm. Humility was in Isaiah $
mind when he wrote concerning the
wrong and right observance OF feasts.
Mere outward forms are not alone to
be desired. But He wanted humility
that recognized Him as the foundation
head OF all goodness.
God looks not upon Thanksgiving
of pride. For God resisteth the proud
but gives grace to the humble. II you
would find favor in the sight OF God,
humble yourself"

Thirty-sixth general assembly OF Iowa
convenes next Monday, it will be un-
der a rule Of law that will permit OF
very much more prompt start'oh
than ever before. II the regular order

day; then on Tuesday the vote Will be
canvassed and announced and the
governor and lieutenant governor be
imme diately inaugurated. The legis-
lature would then be in position to
receive bills comm encing Wednesday,
the 18th.
In former years the first week has
always been wasted, SO far as actual

There may be hitch somewhere
that will prevent the carrying out OF
the closely coupled up program pro-
yfded In the new legislation. The hrst
thing Is Organization" OF the two
houses. This might easily be delayed.
Tho house organization means cleo
ton of speaker and clerk; the senate
organization is election OF permanent
secretary. There might also be de-
Law in completing the canvass OF tho
vote on head Of the ticket, which
must be commenced on Tuesday, but
might not be finished for day or

ernor that he is expected to deliver
his message.
| ANY variation in the program as ar
ranged could be made by a conference
az leading members prior to the ses-
sion, and definite program for the
week be made UP in advance. This
may be done.
Th.aer is nothing in sight now to
Indicate any delay in getting the
work started. Or course the house

Thanksgiving is the outward man
Hesitation Of thankfulness and should
be constantly expressed, not only by
the believer but by all men, for every
man has cause for gratitude whether
he recognizes 1t or not"
Among some OF the causes for graft
tude, the speaker named the blessings
of life and the benefits OF christianity.
The believer. however. the speaker
held, had still greater reasons TOR
Thanksgiving. Some OF these were
because OF sins pardoned and forgot
ten. because redemption In christian
ity was his, because OF his relation to
God, and Gods relation to him. and
because OF the right OF access to the
Father and all that right implies. And
then there were reasons which the
individual. himself, had for thanks
giving, and which we're known to him
alone.

THE FIRST PARACHUTE

The invention of the aeropiane is
accepted today as the most significant
echlevement in the conquest of tho
air. The came attitude was held in
f1ss, when the Moutgolfers invented
she balloon. and again in 1893, when
oaSnarin demonstrated the practical
Ter of tho parachute. The latter in

interest to O degree that amounted
almost to awe. An engineering expert
Of the time describes in an interesting
manner the scenes of that memorable
event.
On beautiful day of the year 1888
q citizen of Montpelier. France, out for
his early morning walk, behel6 a
arrange spectacle. Happening to pass
BIZ the house of Sebastien Lenormand,
distinguished scientist, he saw that
eminent and respected man balancing
himself on the sill of his first-story
window. IN each hand he clasped an
apen umbrella. the points of which
were tied firmly to the handles.
The passerhy was thunderstruck by
the Arrange sight. In another moment
he was even more astounde, for LenopG
mafd suddenly jumped into space. The
masi In the street shrieked and rushed
forward; but. instead Of beholding a
body hurting through the air, he saw
the scientist ffoat gently down, and
land. smiling and unhurt, on the pave
ment The parachute had been In
vented,
The news of Lenormand's invention
spread rapidly. and 1t was not long
before several scientinc bodies had at
tempted experiments. Cats and dogs
ana other animals were tied to para
chufes and dropped from balloons. and
In every case they reached the ground
unhurt. Interest In aeronautics waned

plains. maintained q hushed silence as
the balloon slowly rose. There was

tors, who followed with q sort Of fas-

man really dare the unknown? Would
he dare to jump from the great height

The balloon, undisturhed by any
wind, rose straight in the air, 1t
seemed like a mere speck against the

were becoming hysterical under the

The Owl.

Long ago when people wanted pic
lures Of things that were wise they
nearly always made a drawing OF an
owl. It's head was so big, it's face
so solemn, and it's eyes so wide and
round that they felt sure that the owl
must be the wisest of all birds; but
when the sun shines the owl blinks
and goes to sleep in a dark hole.
Nearly every bird is a bright and
cheeFful creature. never, happier than
when the bright sun is shining; but
owls love best of all the dark and
siIent night. II is never wide awake
until the sun sets and then it flies away
to some neighboring barn or meadow
there to sit silently, with round bright
eyes wide open waiting for the COM
ing of some unlueky mouse. or some
small animal.
The barn owl, which OF all owls Is
the most often seen. seems to be the
only kind that takes any trouble to
make q nest, and even this Is only
"a little moss laid on q bare stone.
Owls have very sharp beaks and
strong taions.
