PERKINS.
Did you ever feel as if no one
loved you? Of course you know
your mother does, because she
loves you even if you are red
headed and three of your front
teeth are gone.
Well, one day Anthony, every
body called him Tony" for
short, felt just this way, because
Velma wouldn't let him carry
her ooks for her and then that
';ttle old Clarence Edwards
same along and with that aggra-
yating lisp of his, asked Velma
might he carry her books. Gee!
it was tough enough without
that. When girls get mad, they
go off and cry, bat Tony filled

Of his anger.
He grabbed his bat and ball
then called his younger brother,
and set off to a vacaE5 lot to play
ball, there a crowd of boys had
already gathered and were wait
ing for Tony. An exciting game
followed.
When the game was over, Tony
fingered for a little more practic-
ing and partly because he saw
Velma coming down the street,
thought probably she would
smile a5 him. Gracious, what a
wonderful smile that girl had
and such dimples, and then may
be she would say she was sOr
ry she did him so mean, because
she knew Tony liked her better
than any other girl but then
that's a way girls have of doing.
Put way down the street he
saw something, and heard the
cry" Maddog, Mad dog Oh.
Heavens! here it comes, foam
dripping from Its jaws and right
straight toward Velma it came,
he would rather see any BODY
hurt than Velma and then his
mother had taught him to always
protect ladies. Anyway here
was a chance to show his
superiority over Clarence, so he
grasped his bat firmly in both
hands ard ran for the street.
The dog was almost IN reach OF
him. Now it was his chance,
he came down on it's head with
a mighty whack and down fell
the dog. A few struggles and
all was over with the dog:
and Tony had proved himself a
hero.

Gratitude is a virtue too often inadequately expressed. How
ever, 1t does not follow that we are wholly or even seriously de-
fcent in appreciation because of failure to be continually openly
acknowledging indebtedness for a multitude of blessings, An in
dlvldual too quick or too profuse in expressions of thanks runs
the risk OF being regarded with a bit of suspicion.
In it's inner tabernacle the humble soul may daily sing prais-
es for a continuance of blessings and by a predominance of such
thoughts develop a beauty and richness which will thrill and in
spre when occasion demands that 1T should be heard. The nobility
Of our thoughts and not the multitude of our words determines our
character. Thanksgiving is more a matter of attitude than Of
speaking. 1t is spiritual.
This does not mean that we should be dumb in the presence
OF an abundance of good things showered upon us by Providence
and by friends. Out of the abundance of a grateful heart the
mouth should speak. A virtue wel-developed cannot be stifed-
true character speaks through every act, when words are scant.
Thanksgiving should be a daily devotion unmarried by mock
cry of insincerity. Such devotion was more predominant among
our pious New England forebears that with us today. Compare
lively scant as were their blessings and grievous as were their
privatons, they sincerely professed to find much occasion for
daily thanksgiving: Even with these devotions a day of special
Thanksgiving and praise was deemed meet. And thus was born the
beautiful custom of our annual Thanksgiving.

There has been . large increase this

Chicago. Dec 1S.-Continued mild
weather that promised increasing re-
ceipts gave a little advantage today to
the bears in corn. The fact, however,
that as yet decided enlargement OF
the number of arrivals had taken place
tended to make sellers cautious. Mean
while the embargo on eastbound ship
ments from Chicago remained in an
effectual check on bulls. Opening
prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to y cent lower. with January
at s12Ole and May at s1.1S1e to s1.1Sas,
were followed by slight general
downturn.
The government orders which
stopped the manufacture Of industrial
alcohol from any kind Of corn except
sample grades was construed as bear
ish, but the market rallied on account
of a falling off of country advices of
shipments and because Of announce
ments Of a sharp decrease in the North
American available supply Of oats. The
close was firm, 4 to = net higher.
with January at s1.9lA and May at
s1.19B TO s1.19A.
Oats declined as result Of sales to
go in store. Besides, nothing was
heard Of any export bids.
Provisions.
Much more abundant receipts of hogs
than had been expected broke the pro-
vision market.
