Proper Spirit Of the Season.

The prOclamations OF those who
hold high station as the representa-
tives of the people very properly be-
speak the spirit the nation should
manifest. The manifestation Of that
spirit Is. however, not alone in feast
ing and the joyous acclaim of thou
sands on the field Of sport. The con-
seriousness of blessing and the re-
turning of thanks therefor by every
man according as he is blessed, no
less than the voicing Of a prayer that
he be made ever more sensible of all
his blessings. will make the day for
all the holy day IL should be. Graft
tude for the guidance thus far
strength 10 meet the trials still to
come.

CAUSES FOR THANKS
Season is a Time for All to Re-
member the Blessings of
the Year.

WY HAT does Thanksgiving mean
M to you? Does it mean only
w day of special feastingf
Does it bring to you only the
pleasure of rich foods and elaborate
meals? Or do you remember in the
midst of feasting that it is day for
giving thanks? We should all take
the time from this day, filled with
pleasures, to look back over the past
year and remember all the blessings
for which we have to be thankful.
No mater how much sorrow and
trouble may have to come to us in
the past II months, there have been
many blessings as we'll if we will stop
to consider them. Perhaps at the
time of trouble we were blinded to the
blessings, but now, if we look back
with clearer judgment, we can see that
they were there all the time, some
times blessings in disguise, but bless
ings none the less.
We can surely afford to spare from
this whole day of pleasure couple OF
| hours for silent retroSpection and APP
probation. Let us each slip away
from the crowd for just small part
of the day and give ourselves up to
a mental review of the past year, with
q special eye to the benefits we have
received. 1t will come as q surprise
to many to see how many the blessings
have been and how comparatively few
| the misfortunes.
There is first Of all, health. Those
who have sound health never stop to
be grateful for 1t, it seems so much
a part of them. And yet were these
healthy ones laid on q sick bed fol-
months ut a time they would soon
realize how much of a blessing health
really is. The chronic invalidS in their
beds and wheeled chairs appreciate to
the full the blessings of good health
Let those of us, then, who are vel
and strong be thankful for our health
Then there Is love. Those Of us whC
have the devoted love Of a mother oil
father, of a sister or brother. of 6
child or a husband, will do well to sent
up an extra pean of thanksgiving fo
the blessing OF this love. Only toe
often, the only ones who appreciate
the full blessing of love are thos'
who have lost all earthly ties.
If the family circle about the fes
tive board is unbroken is not that
reason for full rejoicing? When s.
many fathers, husbands, brothers an,
sons are falling on every side in Ell
ropes inhuman war we should Civ
thanks with all our hearts that on
own dear ones go unframed.
So each OF us will find If we scare
our minds, that we have many bless
lngs TO be thankful for. 1t is only tn
hardened heart which feels no graf
tude. And we should all fill our mind
with love and appreciation on Thank:
giving day, of the great good we hav
received in the past and the hope
be more worthy of ii in the future.

IN NEW England the saying is
christmas to the young, Thanks
giving 10 the Old"
The saying, like most bits of
folk lore, says the DelineatOr, has its
roots in d common fact of living. Youth
does not tend toward gratitude. 1t does
not tend toward introspection. 1t does
not tend toward a sense of proportion.
And it Is these tendencies that must
unite to make the thankful heart
Not that young people do not love
Thanksgiving. They do. And country
children love 1t more than city chill
dreu, and children of servantless fam
lilies love ii more than those of the
well-to-do. The reason is obvious.
Thanksgiving day to child is feast
day, and half the joy of a feast is in
its preparation.
What simply reared, country bred
grown-up would give up the memory
of Thanksgiving day at home, for all
the present comfort of n French cook
and an elaborate menage?
First, there was the business of the
turkey. A turkey was no ordinary,
every Sunday in the winter bird in
those days. Turkey twice a year was
the rule, on Thanksgiving day and
Christmas; on New Years day, goose
or duck.
The turkey was chosen anxiouSly,
while mother poked its breastbone, ia

color of the pinfeathers. The after

the bread crusts carefully saved for
weeks. Mother stuffed the turkey. Sis
ter threaded the darning needle thai
sewed in the stuffing, brother carried
the bird TO the cellar to await tomor
rows oven.
Then there were the first cranber
ries of the season, the first nuts, tn,
first pumpkin pies.

during the year. and one noticed
more than ever ut the ThankSgivin
dinner.
After dinner all the women folks an
the girls gathered in the kitchen [
wash dishes, and the men folks an
the boys went out TO look ut IN

1t is for memories like these tina

and other blessings. For the simpl,
homely facts of living: for the oppol
tunity TO serve with hand and min
those that we love; for happy yestel
days spent with those who loved u
and are gone: for strength TO see an
hear and think and work, ana for a
occasional bit of leisure in which I
dream; these make our older Thank

True Spirit Of the Festival.

In recent years there has been a
broadening conception of the spirit of
Thanksgiving day. Besides acknowl-
edging Gods manifold blessings ac-
coriing to religious formulas, the true
spirit of the festival will manifest it
self in deeds of benevolence. The poor
will be remembered and the needs OF
humane institutions Will be supplied.

The lobster became indignant when
n paw struck his shell. The big claw
was landed on the cats tail. Emitting
ear-splitting walls, the cat raced up
stairs and into the dining room.
Miss Eva Seidler had brought her
Boston terrier, Gus, into the restau-
rant with her. He was tied 10 her
chair. When the terrier saw the cat
and the lobster he got busy. So did
the lobster. The dog made for the cat.
