.nually in the state of New York since 'f8l7, but as national institution it dates from 1863, when President Lin- coin, by proclamation, set apart the last Thursday in November as a day of thanksgiving. Every year since then the chief executive has issued similar proclamation. Gradually the last Thursday of November became legal holiday in the various states.
 Today will be observed with espe- cal fervor as day of thanksgi ying for the ending of the worlds most stupendous war. President Wilson asks the people to assemble in their usual places of worship and with grateful hearts render fitting praise to heaven for the return of peace. The churches will be well attended and the services will be conducted in the spirit of the Presidents proclama- ton.

A BRuMMAGEM CAESAR

From the Macon Telegraph
 He heard the far-off roar of the mob like the waves beating on a distant shore--and ran out the back door to Holland. He was just man after all. and not much of a man at that. Every soldier who gave his cheap and can non-fodder, life to his service has died nobler man than the royal master who couldn't even face his own fate. For if he is to die for his crimes now it will be on the gallows. And he might have perished at least as Saul of Israel-he had his shining sword" It would have been adequate to fall upon

 l note, not without awe, that a com position at present running a close sec- ond to the national anthem is from the fecund and versatile pen of a fellow citizen, Signor Giogio Cohanski.

The man slept in bunkhouse that was built of green oak and the boards had shrunk and left spaces, between that you could see through. It was terribly cold one night and the covers were thin and some of the men were complaining about the said the big Kentuckian, as he rolled over and prepared to pound his ear "They's one good thing about sleep in in here.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Ever notice that the maddest man in town is the practical joker who has a practical joke played on him
 It is a whole lot easier for a man to get the vote of his party than 1t Is for him to get the vote of his family
 If he is taking short little steps in order to keep ill step with her they are engaged. But if he is taking one step to her two they are married.
 Why is man said to be leading a dogs life" when he is unhappy? A dog has nothing to worry about. There are no reform dogs trying to enact "a law prohibiting the sale and use of bones. And dog isn't married, and doesn't have to buy clothes and shoes. Whaddy va mean: leading a dog's life?"
 And what has become of the old fashioned innocent wife who knew her husband didn't drink anything the night before because he was so thirsty the next mornings?
 The luckiest men-w know of are those who enjoy hard work and do not know how lucky they are.
 Another wonderful thing is how thick a woman's ankles can get after she has been married for a while.
 A. woman can't understand why her husband does physical culture stunts in the bath room for 15 minutes each morning to develop his muscles and yet hasn't half a minute to spare to get the ashes out of the cellar.
 And the reason why a cornfed girl doesn't lace her corset tightly Is be- cause her father knows that the meter 'is cheating the light company and working in his favor
 You imagine that you get more than your share of disappointment, don't you? Well. the man who isn't disap- pointed mofe than once day can re- gard himself as lucky.
 Isn't it funny how man will take u chance on getting shot trying to kiss his neighbor's wife when he can kiss his own wife any time he wants to?
 The difference between gossips anu egotists Is that gossips nevet talk about Themselves.

German Music and
 Mistaken Patriotism

|WH[ILE German T, music was not w banned in all communities or discarded by all conductors or recital artists, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beetho- ven, Mendelssohn, Wagner and Brahms were conspicuous by. their absence from concert programmes. In not a few cities every German composer was taboo.
 The new conductor of the Boston symphony orchestra, Dr. Henri Ra- baud, announced just before assum- ing the baton that no German name would appear on any of his pro- grammes; but the music-loving pub lie, including men and women noted for their patriotic work, did not ap- prove of so sweeping an interdict. They wanted to hear Beethoven and Iother great masters, and Dr. Raba1d lis now making a feature of Beetho- ven's "Ervica" symphony.
 While French music predominates on the programme of the orchestra of the Paris conservatory, Beethovens fifth symphony is being played ire quently. The two facts referred to should put quietus on the prejudice against the immortals simply because they happened to have German names. If great orchestra, made up entirely of Frcnchmen, coming direct from the French capital, with the greeting of the French republic to the people of the United States, can present Bee thoven symphony, who will be so nar- row as to insist that all German works be ignored?
 Owen Mister, author and poet, in addressing the Drama league in Phila- delphia, urged that Americans repudi- ate the mistaken patriotism" that eliminated German music from sym phony programmes in this country. Beethoven wrote no hymn of hate. He wrote a hymn of brotherhood, said Mister, land Wagner composed the greater part of his works while in exile because he was revolution ist."
 Most, of the beautiful German music was written byNmen who were dead before William Hohenzollern was born. As Mister points out, to banish this music from our pro- grammes would be like making bricks without straw.
 A shipload. more or less. of correspond ents from America will precede the Pres ident abroad, And they won't have 10 bother abdpta censor when they sit down to pouSa their typswFitsrs-
