OF all the people who dwell be-
meath the sun, the American PEG.
Iple have the greatest cause for
THANKSGIVING and thanksgiving
not one day ont of the year, but
365 days out Of the year OF all
states which form our Union, the
Washingtonian may proudly hold
Iup his head and give thanks.
Named after the Father of our
country, we can take a deserved
pride in this big, virile, growing,
and developing child of the I'm
ion, and give thanks for home
in the Evergreen state! While
we love Yakima and Wenatchec
none the less, we love the Puget
Sound section more, and give
thanks for a home in this equab-
lie climate, where storms never
beat, nor floods come, nor winds
blow to mar and scar our happi-
ness and serenity. And narrow
ing our vision to this island
what can we say to relieve our
hearts which are already over
flowing with gratitude for the
good things that follow in every
step of the VashoniteY Material
blessings aplenty, mental benefits
to spare, spiritual benefits on ev-
cry hand, and home benefits for
any and all who will receive them.
But happiness is not measured en-
tirely by the things we get. 1t is
often measured most by the things
we give. And the things we give
need not be material things. The
Orthopedic guild brings happiness
to its island mEmber% by what
they do, in as great a degree as i.
does the crippled children who
are cared for by the supporters.
The Sunday school worker, the
Community Home booster, the
Commercial club hacker, the
School Director, and hundred
other toilers for the public good
each get as much joy out of the
reaction, as they add joy to the
cause they espouse. Be not weary
in well doing. Some people will
grumble at what you do, Others
will criticise your efforts, and
others will misunderstood youl
motives and misjudge your meth.
l9ds-but keep a thankful heart
i rejoice that you live in a free
country where your conscience
may be your guide, and with the
every-day-in the year thankful
spirit, by casting your bread
daily upon the water, it will re.
turn to You after many years a
hundred fold.

That was the happiest afternoon he

over the past, and it seemed only
day since he had been with her in the
little house in the suburbs on the night
after his arrival in Malopo.

The Uprising.

The Uprising.
It was night Winton had performed
the last offices for the dead woman.
The triple tragedy had been too stun
ming for any interchange Of words
upon their future, but at last, there
being nothing more to do, Winton was
free to speak to Sheila about their
future.
He had already gathered that Sea-
ing the past.

gin anew-yours and mine.

do you still love me- WintOn" she
asked
Il have not changed, Sheila."
''It Is not because you think you
are bound?"
"Sheila, love you just as much
always"
'"Then will be your wife, Winton,"
she answered gravely, raising her
mouth to his.
He did not urge his love-it was no
t1me for that, and the past was too
vividly with them for love-making
Some day, not very far ahead, Win
ton hoped that his dreams might come
true. For the present he was very
well content to know that Sheila was
Ids, and that nothing more could come
between them.
It would be impossible to find the
way back to Malopo that night, and
already the rain-clouds hung black in
the sky. Winton was to occupy one
Of the huts, and on the morrow they
would start for Malopo at dawn.
He was surprised that the village
was empty, and was about to question
6heila when she spoke Of it.
"They left two days ago." she said

from the dawn The stars were bril-

Far away Winton heard an inde-

Der of voices. 1t dwindled and grew
again, and suddenly swelled into a
tumult, which seemed to spread along
the ridge of the fields. There was no
mistaking its portent Somewhere a
riot had broken out.

by a column of fire that shot upward,
Illuminating a smoky cloud that

voters in small States are much

reason and for other reasons candi-

YET Mr.. Wilson in the electoral
conege got four hundred and
tnlrty-flve votes out Of a total Of
i've hundred and thirty-one.
The fact is that very large
number OF our Presidents have
been minority Presidents in ths
sense 'of having failed to receive
