Tad Lincoln Secured
Reprieue for Turkey

One year, Il few weeks before
Thanksgiving, friend sent IL fine live
turkey to the White House. with the
request that it be served for Presi-
dent Lincoln's dinner Tad. the Presi-
dents son, who was the life of the
White House, took great fancy to
the bird, naming it Jack and feeding
and petting it. He even taught it to
follow him about.
JUST before Thanksgiving, while the
President was discussing important
business with a cabinet officer. Tad
rushed into the room, sobbing with
anger. The turkey was about to be
killed! And Tad had flown to the
President TO lay the case before him
and save Jack.
"But," said the President. Jack
was sent here to be killed and eaten"
Il can't help it," blubbered Tad be-
tween sobs. He is good turkey and
l don't want him killed." 10.
The President Of the United States
listened gravely, and then taking a
card wrote an order of reprieve. Tad
seized the card, rushed away. And
the turkeys life was saved.-Our

TIMELY THOUGHT
FOR THIS SEASON
Con Years Ledger
for Cause for
Gratitude.

BY careful and painstaking appli-
cation of those methods which have
been found to be best adapted to the
particular needs of the enterprise con-
cerned, an annual appraisal or inven-
tory of both assets and liabilities Is
made by every properly conducted
business. Account is taken of all tan
gible and intangible resources, includ-
ing stocks, accounts and bills receiv-
able, and of what is written down in
the ledger as good will. The occasion
is not one observed merely as an op-
portunity for surveying what has been
accomplished during the year just
passed, or during many years of vary
ing successes or disappointments, but
more specially for the purpose of
shaping the policies and activities to
be followed and pursued in the imme.
diate future.
The wise and prudent individual
who realizes the Importance of look
ing carefully to the management and
conduct of his affairs knows from day
to day the approximate value of his
tangible assets. But perhaps he does
not as continually keep before HIM
self the realization of the true value
of that protection which is vouch-
safed by what, despite all that may
be said or charged to the contrary, is
common regard for and obedience
to that higher law which conscience
and true brotherhood dictate. Per-
haps he is prone also to forget that
among these more or less intangible
assets there may be found intangible
but binding liabilities in the form of
due bills payable in kind. There is
an unacceptable obligation for this
service rendered, based upon the bind
ing consideration of value received"
though that has not been formally or
legally expressed in the contract.
Blessings Taken for Granted.
1t is well, therefore, that all of us,
no matter what our station or occu-
patton, at this season set apart for
national thanksgiving. while express
ing appreciation for bountiful tempo
raj blessings bestowed, pause while
thought is given to what might be the
condition, individually and nationally,
were we deprived of the continuing
assurance of that benign protection
the source of which we seem some
times to forget. From year to year
we read the profound announcement
that during the twelve months past
the American nation has been the
grateful recipient of bounty liberal
Iy bestowed. The form, though not
the words. has become almost stereo-
typed. The people of the United

Believe That Stolen Articles Bring Luck

An extraordinary example of the
survival of foolish superstition was
disclosed in the case of Hampshire
(England) farmer who was convicted
of stealing turnips from neighbor.
He explained to the magistrate that
he could easily afford to pay for them.
and that. moreover. he had plenty of
turnips OF his own. but he wanted
stolen ones to make connection for
a COW which had fallen sick. for he
firmly believed no other could be so
efficacious.
A similar belief is held in many
parts of Germany, where practically
everyone buys ticket for one or
other of the state lotteries. Many IN

are sure of winning IL the ticket they

States would regard with amazement
statement to the effect that for
some unexpected reason the full
measure of their blessings had not
been forthcoming. They could not
easily be convinced that while they
are prepared to observe Thanksgiving
day and once a year acknowledge
their gratitude, at least specifically.
they have not paid their obligation in
full.
@s Balance Private Ledoers.
The truly receptive attitude of a
people or nation is determined by
its attitude of thought. 1t has been
truthfully observed that it is only by
giving that room is made for that
which we desire and which we should
receive. This is as true in the realm
of government under social democ-
racy as in individual affairs. Stand
ards which have been established and
which are accounted desirable can be
maintained and protected only as
they are fostered and supported by
an overwhelming weight of popular
thought or sentiment. All loyal and
patriotic citizens profess, while civ
ing thanks for material blessings re-
ceived, to be thankful that their lot
has been cast among law abiding
and justice-loving people. On this day
of annual thanksgiving, as we take
account of all that has been bestowed,
it would be we'll for all alike to ex-
anime our own private ledgers to dis
cover just how much. in cheerful
obedience to the rules and standards
which we have voluntarily set up, has
been ungrudgingly given to our own
and our neighbors' cause.-Christian
Science Monitor.
