Among all the women of European
royalty none enjoys a greater measure
of popularity among all classes than
does Queen Maud of Norway, who
reaches her 50th birthday today. The
queen is a member of the British royal
family. being daughter of the late
King Edward VII. and sister of King
George. Her childhood was spent at
Sandringham, the favorite home of her
parents. It was during a visit of Prin-
cess Maud and her sister to their grand
parents at Copenhagen that she first
met Prince Charles of Denmark, her
future husband. There was great oppo-
sition to the marriage, as Maude was
the daughter of the future King OF
England and Charles was only Danish
prince. The wedding took place. how
ever, in 1895, in Buckingham Palace
chapel. Ten years later. on the separ,
alton of Norway from Sweden, Prince
Charles was selected to become king
of Norway. and assembled the throne a.
King Haakon VII The couple have
one son, the Crown Prince Olaf, hand

Tomorrow comes the annual observ
ance of Thanksgiving Day with no new
features in its observance The church
es will hold union services in the yari-
Gus towns and cities with the usual slim
attendance, some of the colleges viii
fight their annual football battles wit
messed by thousands and family reun-
ions will be held in many homes at
which the heavy laden table will be
The prominent feature.
There will be some beneficial renew
ing of the family ties, a little strength
ening of the influence of home, some
stimulation of better thoughts from the
pulpits but far too little of the most
beneficial exercise of the day-the en-
joyment of the real spirit of thanksgiv-
ing. Perhaps the people of America
have enjoyed the indulgences of wealth
and prosperity SO long they have lost
the spirit of gratitude; blessings have
become so common they have lost the
charm of novelty and attract too little
attention If this be true, it is un.
fortunate because it reveals weakness
in the American characterize lack
of gratitude
The strength of thanksgiving and
gratitude is great. Thankfulness will
tighten any burden, vitalize a purpose
and satisfy the best desires. Gratitude
is the highest reward of human effort
One can fight evil or endure hardship
if he is assured of the gratitude of hi,
fellow beings when the struggle is over
he will persist in well doing if he. fecl
it will be appreciated.
There is no more unattractive ser
vice than service for the ungrateful; NJ
more exhaustive effort than the effor
of an unthankful spirit; and Ameri
cans would serve themselves well, il
tomorrow they cultivate a spirit o
thankfulness for their health, abilit,
and opportunity, if they show som
gratitude to the Giver of the best thing
they enjoy. Plans for the-day hav
been completed but they might well
changed enough to give time for It'll
reflection, a brief recounting of til
blessings of the individual, the HON,
the community and the friendships
and slight renewal of the strength @
thankfulness and gratitude to increas
our powers for good in the DAYS tina
