 PSYCHOLOGY AND SLICK WALKS
 The longer I stay in New York the more this great city fascinates and repels me It is so suspicious, so heartless in its attitude toward oth- CTS. I was walking along Fifth ave- nue at a crowded hour of the after noon recently when a girl in front of me slipped and fell on the icy pave- ment. Nobody paid any attention to her. They walked round her so that they could get out of her way, but not one held out a helping hand eX- cept myself and a soldier. Between us we lifted the poor girl from the ground and helped her into a shop. She was badly bruised and suffering severely. I did what I could to ease her and the soldier saluted and went off. Then she began to thank me and tell me how grateful she was-"but what would have happened if the sol- dier and I hadn't looked after your" asked. "Oh, I don't know" was the reply, "someone might have told the policeman on duty at the corner that I needed assistance, but I don't think anyone would have helped me up."
 I was telling of my experience later and I inquired what was the psychol- ogy of such a situation "Oh, well, you never know; she might have been a pickpocket or a fake of some kind It's dangerous to help people lilSs that"

THE OLD NEW ENGLAND
THANKSGIVING

The king and high priest of all
festivals was the autumn Thanks
giving. When the apples were all
gathered ard the cider was all made,
and the yellow pumpkins were roll
ed in from many a hill in pillows OF
gold. and the corn was husked, ard
the labors Of the season were done,
and the warm. late days of Indian
summer came in dreamy and cain
and still, with just enough frost to
crisp the ground of a morning. but
with warm traces of benignant sunny
l.ours at noon there came over the
community a sort of genial repose
of spirit-a sense of something ac-
complishcd, and of a new golden
mark made in advance, an! the deac-
on began to say to- the minister, Of
a Sunday: 81 suppose it's about time
for the Thanksgiving proclamation"

WHEN THE FROST is ON THE
PUNKIN.

When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock, .
And you hear the kyouck and gobble
Of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' OF the guineys and
the cluckin' Of the hens,
And the rooster's hallylooyer as he
tiptoes or the fence;
o, it's then's the times a Teller is a
feelin' at his best,
With the risin' sun to greet him from
a night of peaceful rest,
AS he leaves the house bareheaded
and goes out to feed the stock,
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
They's something kindo' hearty like
about the atmusfere
When the heat of summers over and
the coolin' fall is here
OF course we miss the flowers and
the blossoms on the trees,
And the humble of the hummin'-birds
and buzzin' of the bees;
But the airs so appetizin'; and the
landscape through the haze
OF a crisp and sunny morning of the
early autumn days
Is a pictur' that no painter has the
colorin' to mock
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.
The husky rusty rustic of the tossels
of the corn,
And the raspin' of the tangled leaves
as golden as the morn;
The stubble in the furries kindo'
lonesome-like, but still
A-preachin' m to us Of the
barns they growed to fill;
The strawstack in the medder, and
the reaper in the shed;
The bosses in their stalls b%elow-the
clover overhead
o. it sets my heart a clickin' like the
tickin' of a clock,
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shocki
Then your apples all is gethered. and
the ones a Teller keeps
Is poured around the cellar floor in
red and yeller heaps;
And your cider-makin's over, and
your wimmern-folks in through
With theyr mince and appel-butter
and theyr souse and sausage,
too!
| don't know how to tell it-but ef
sig ha thing could be
As the angels wantin' boardin', and
they'd call around on me-
I'd want to 'commodate email the
whole-indurin' flock
When the frost is on the punkin and
the folders in the shock.

THE STORY OF THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING.

MANY years ago" began the
teacher, there were no white peo-
pie in this country. Only the In
dians lived here. There were nc
towns. no gardens. no farms. There
were only great forests and noun
tains and prairies, over which wild
animals and Indians roamed.
after a while. however, there
came a little band of brave men with
their wives and children to make
homes in this new land. They were
called Pilgrims. These people had
been almost driven away from their
homes in England, because they
wished to worship the Lord in a diff
ferent way from other people there.
The Pilgrims wanted to live in a
land where they could be free. so
they came to America. sailing over
the ocean in the good ship May
flower.
"One cold day in December. just
before Christmas, they landed here.
They did not have much to eat nor
much to wear, and there were no
houses built to shelter them from
the But they thanked the
Lord for bringing them safely over
the stormy sea and they went brave
iy to work to make their log cabins.
Of curse they suffered a great deal
from cold and hunger and manv of
them grew i'll and died. When
spring came not more than half of
them were left.
"The Indians did not harm the
poor Pilgrims. One of these red
men, Squanto, came often to visit
the white men and to teach them
how to plant their corn. After a
while Chief Massasoit also came
with his warriors. He, too, treated
the white people kindly.
"The Pilgrims worked hard all
that summer, and when autumn
came their gardens and fields gave
them a good harvest of corn, pump
kins, beans and other things to eat.

EARLY THANKSGIVING DAYS,

as to the amount of the loan in COM

ton outfit beyond the mercy of pur-
chased feeds. Sam says that a silo
doubles his profits; he produces the
silage himself, and reaps a greater
profit than is possible when feeding
mill feeds.
Then the farm home is being brush
ed up. A small gasoline engine, to
which is hitched an electric light
ing outfit, makes the homework
easy. 1t does the washing, separ-
atcs the milk, churns and runs ma

The lawn is nicely seeded and
planted with Towering plants and

farm a factory because he has ample
capital. He says his boys have al
ways wanted to work in a factory,
and that they nov can do it and

"A Good Living and 1917" awaits
the farmer who gets into debt for
things worth while, but failure faces
the man who will borrow money
just to buy a tin lizzie to chase to

difference between spending your
borrowed money for luxuries, ION
essentials, time-absorbers, instead Of
for essentials, time-savers and pro-
fit-paying assets, is the difference
between profit and loss.
Sam is happy in the thought that
he has t~hirty-five years to pay off
his mortgage, at the rate of SOS for
each $1,000 borrowed; that he need
not pay more than this at any time,
but that after the fifth year he pay
as much more as he wishes. He will
never gain go on Bonded knees be-
fore a misery lender of money, ask
ing that his head be saved for an
other year. He will calmly walk up
to the bank and pay his obligation
as it comes due, knowing that the
holder Of his mortgage wishes him
every success, and that his indebted
ness, instead of being a milestone
about his neck, is an elevator lift
ing him higher and higher toward
the clouds of profits.
