Be Thankful Every Day.

The purely passive contemplation OF
all good ought TO be granted to COM
mon days on which no more has oc-
Cured than the daily round of little
pleasures and the absence Of more
than ordinary annoyances. With the
evening offering of silent thanksgiv-
ing to God we take conscious possess
sion of Simple happiness and enjoy
it once again. instead of slipping Off
past Gods best gifts as men so often
do. Thus thanksgiving involves the
recognition& All this good is from
God, and this recognition reacts on our
own mood, creating conscious joy and
humble trust In the God who win con-
tinue to bless In things both great
and small.

SLANG TOO MUCH FOR SPIES
American Ambulance Driver Succeeds
in Passing Along Some lnforms-
ton to Friend.

At a gathering of Princeton grad
yates and undergraduates in New
York one of the snappiest little sto-
ries of the war was related by a
Princeton graduate just returned from
ambulance service In France. 1t had
to DO with the difficulty In outwitting
German espionage in Belgium, and how
1t was managed through the medium Of
unrecognlzed language.
Four months ago, the narrator said.
the system of espionage had been about
seven stratas deep. Spies watched the
Belgians, spies In the ranks watched
the German officers. spies watched the
spies who were watching anybody and
1t became apparent that anyone who
might sneeze would be duly reported
in Berlin.
Just at this time one Princeton am
bulance driver heard from what
seemed to be a reliable source that a
German had attempted the life Of Pres
ident Wilson in Washington. 1t was
hut a rumor, and ne did not mention
IL to anyone or have any desire to dis
cuss II until he happened to encounter
another Princeton man whom he had
long known. When they met the driv
er who had heard the rumor looked
about and saw that ears aplenty were
set for their conversation. He talked
casually with his friend and wondered
as he talked what language he might
use to impart his information.
He knew little of the Italian tongue
and thought 0f using that. But as he
glanced about him there seemed face
for every language, To head his friend
of to a secluded place would excite
suspicion and so he finally decided to
tell him the news in American slang.
He spoke as follows:
Don't let the glittering delicatessen
fall for this noise. I'm itching to ease
you some dope and don't care to be
beaned or dipped into the Hoosgow for
chlrping Ii. When it's across can the
return chatter and remain a dumb
Isaac. I have been hepped that up
stairs over Dixie pretzel birdie has
tried to Czolgocz the former papa of
Old Nassau.
For a moment mis- friend looked ar
him with knit browS and then. even as
the spies stood with ears out at acute
angles, the listener answered:
I'm right in your pocket, Sleeve"

Season for All to
Magnify Blessings
and Forget Crosses

w re CELEBRATE that great
N| holiday, Thanksgiving, at
" " this season. In the gay
round of pleasures the day
always brings, perhaps not one of us
will stop a moment and seriously look
back over the past year, now rapidly
drawing to.a close. Many of us-in
fact, all of us-should pause a moment
and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought US
many trials, but they also brought us
many blessings. 1t is the blessings we
should itemize and magnify and for
get the crosses. We may sigh dis
contentedly and say, well, last year
had many more reasons to be thank
full than l have this year." but If we
are fair and honest with ourselves we
will have to admit that, even If
troubles came our way, the blessings
that followed them were far greater
in number.
Who has not read the story of that
first Thanksgiving Day? Fancy
woman in these times enduring the
hardships and worries those strong
hearted New England pilgrims en-
dured; and what a wonderful lesson
in unselfishness they have handed
down to us!
Argue and elaborate as we will on
our burdens, we know fate has been
good to us. Life is not all sunshine.
If it were we would very soon grow
tired of life. Disappointment, set
backs, Establishments come to every
one, and we must expect they will
come to us. Indeed, we have no voice
in the matter They will come to us
as surely as day follows night; but do
we accept them patiently2 That is
another story.
Many women look only on the dark
side of life. whats the use?" they
say dejectedly. Everything try to
do turns out failure" There is a
tiny breath of selfishness here. "I'' is
very prominent in these women's
thoughts. Perhaps If they did some
thing worth while for someone else
their work would be crowned with
success. Doing something for another
has never. yet turned out a failure.
There isn't case on record showing
where failure has followed kind deed
done for another. Perhaps this other
did not appreciate the efforts taken In
her behalf, yet the fact remains that
the. woman who put herself out to
make another woman happy expe-
rienced wonderful happiness herself.

BE THANKFUL. AT ALL TIMES
Too Few of Us Think of Gratitude In
Connection With Our Every
day MercIes.

Genuine thankfulness is one of the
sweetest, richest and hottest Of the
Christian graces; and yet we fear that
1t is one of the rarest. We take a
large portion of our daily exercises as
a matter Of course, and hardly think
of thanking God especially for them.
Other things we attribute to our own
skill, or industry, or good judgment;
we take all the credit of them. and
leave God quite out of the calculation.
For special deliverances We return
thanks to Goa, and seem to forget ut
terly that he has been taking care of
us at all other times, when our eyes
discovered no danger. How many of
us awake in the morning after riding
all night in a sleeping car, and espe-
cially render thanks that the train
did not shoot the track during the
hours of darkness? But if the train
had actually been pitched down an
embankment. and we had escaped I'M
hurt. we should throw ourselves down
on our knees and pour out our thanks
to God for wonderful preservation.
Common, everyday services that pass
wholly unnoticed, deserve as fervent
an expression of gratitude as an es-
cape from a burning house or ship
wrecked vessel would deserve. l sus-
pect that when God said "Whoso Of
fereth praise glorifieth me-" he had
reference to the habitually thankful
souls who recognize his loving kind
ness every hour. and under every kind
of providences. a graceless singer
might thank God after being dragged
M from drowning into a lifeboat;
devout and thorough Christian only
would thank him ''in whose hands our
breath Is" for every breath that he
