MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Mothers Practically Devote Entire
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows No Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less a condition as are human beings.
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time in being nurscd, in
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound or
movement eXcites her immediate nU-
tlce, and, with her baby in her arms,
she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by tile most adroit maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
but always under its mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach it to do for itself, but never for
gets her sollcitudc for its safety and
at the earliest intimatiOn Of danger
seizes ii in her arms and seeks place
Of refuge. When about six weeks old
the baby begins to need more substan-
tial nourishmcnt than milk and is
taught to provide for itself The moth
er's fondnesS for her offspring con
tinucs; she dcvotes All her time 20 its
comfort and education, ana, should II
meet with an untimely end, her grief
IS so intense as frequently to cause her
own death.

IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men of Affairs Ar.
range Their Business on PunctU-
ality as Safe Guide.

A young Kentuckian lost a big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing a business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many a bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But it also is the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. lie may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but it
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit
Men Of great affairs, whose time is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value Of time and the importance of
saving it by being prompt.

This is the harvest time for thanks.
True, there have been trials, calami-
ties in some places, homes destroyed,
losses and sorrows, but taking the
country over our blessings have been
very many and far outnumbered the
dark, appalling things of life. In spite
of many evils there has been as much
of true sympathy, of genuine benevo'
lence. of a cordial spirit, of brother
ly love and good fellowship. we can
keep our thanksgiving in the spirit
Of the scriptural admonition, BE yc
also thankful"

"It cannot be that earth is man S
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is a bubble cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float moment
upon it's waves and sink into nothing
ness. Else, why is it the high and
glorious aspirations which leap like
angels from the temple of our hearts
are forever wandering unsatisded?
Why is it the rainbow and cloud come
over us with beauty that pass Off
and leave us to muse of their lowell
ness? Why is it that the stars which
hold their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp of our
limited faculties, forever hooking US
with their unapproachable glory? And
finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented
to our view and taken from us, leav
ing the thousand streams Of our atfec-
tions to flow back in an Alpine torrent
upon our hearts? We are born for
higher destiny than that of earth.
There is a realm, where the rainbow
never fades, where the stars will be
spread out before US like the islands
that slumber on the ocean and where
the beautiful beings which pass before
us like shadows will stay forever in
our presence" In these beautiful
thoughts we can all find much to be
thankful for, even If a vacant chair is
in our home and the dark side Of life
seems turned towards us. They will
place a silver lining back of any cloud.
As matter of fact we AL have much
to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving day means much in
the larger sense, and it we're well
for the country if we added to our
present happy domestic and churchly
custom of observing it by some dis
tinctly public ceremonial that would
associate more directly our we'll being

The pious, hard driven, worn.out, but
thankful puritans who sat down at
their tables one November, few cen
turtles ago and made the first Thanks
giving Day, never knew to what lenght
they were to drive the ingenuity of
their poor descendants. But it wasn't
their fault after all, that the preparer
of the Thanksgiving feast today has
to attend Just as much to the turkey
surroundings as to the turkey Itself.
1t was good enough for them to have
well stocked larder from which could
come the turkey, the celery, the pump
kin pie, the cranberries and all the
other goodies which history puts down
to their credit. Even the compare
lively recent New Englanders were
content with all these as long as they
looked tempting and tasted good. But
today, even the important fowl itself
is hardly more important than the
ribbons, the candies, the flavors, the
adornments of all kinds, which must
appear on the Thanksgiving table.

The first recorded instance Of any
thing in the nature of thanksgiving
in the history of our country is the
following entry in an old Bible be-
longing to one of the first pilgrims;
"Sonne born to Susanna White, De.

ing. Next day we meet for prayer
and thanksgiving" This, however, is
not generally accepted as the first OBJ.
server OF that nature, since it hardly
partook of the character of general
thanksgiving. But fifteen months af-
ter the pilgrims sailed from Holland
they held harvest festival which last
ed a week. This is generally spoken
of as the first Thanksgiving in New
England. but it was not a day set apart
by the governor, nor was it attended
by any religious observance.
