IIANKSGIVIfca DAY.
. Humph! It's ^eauy
enough tor the Presi
dent to give thanks on
$50,000 u year, but
what about the rest of
ua?"
Can't you see her
fling down the morning
paper with the Thanks
giving proclamation in
mg type on tno front page?
In imagination, can't you hear the
Scornful, embittered accent of hejp:
care-rasped tones?
And don't you know her sort??
drab-colored frock, draft-colored hair,
-draft-Colored corapiertrannrfr drat) cut*
ored views of life? Just one of "the
rest of us," to whom the presidential
salary of $60,000 a year represents a
sum on which she thinks ahe could
live comfortably t6 the end of her
days.
She Is one of the thousands, tqo,
who think that every man, woman or
"chlHtsayo themselves has cause for
g'vlnyMf ftks.
Yet wriy^s she so pessimistic? . She
has a position which pays a fair sal
ary. She likes her work, or rather
takes pride In the results of her
labors.
She has reasonably good health and
would have better if she would only
learn to walk on. the sunny side of
life's broad street
She is able to lay aside a small sum
each week toward the inevitable rainy
day and she could wear much more
becoming clothes if she knew how and
tool; pleasure In choosing them. No
one Insists upon her wearing dull col
ors, which mako her look old and
faded..
Every night she goee home to a tidy
little apartment, presided over by a
tidy little mother and supported in
part by a cheerful younger sister.
Here she finds the order she loves and
the cooking which she enjoys.
For pleasure she has her church
and its Societies, a free library juot
around the corner, a weekly visit to
the theatre, where she manages to see
' all the better productions, an Occa
sional concert, as many Invitations to
evening card parties as she cares to
accept; and yet she has no reason for
giving thanks!
Why?
Because she must earn all these
things. She must pay part of the rent
drthe ttdy ltttleapaTt??nt. She must
pay her own dressmaking and milli
nery bills from her wages. Often she
must pay for her own theatre tickets
and concert admissions.
She thinks the girls who have cause
for thanksgiving are those whose fath
ers, mothers, brothers and sweet
hearts strew the pathway at home and
abroad with rosea and theatre tickets.
She belongs to the large clapa of
working girls who believe that only
the girl of leisure has any real pleas
ures in life.
She does not know that the roses
cast at the feet of the girl who Is de
pendent upon parents and relatives
are thick with thorns.
She has never heard a mother up
braid her daughter for extravagance
one minute and then load the girl
with new frocks, hata and gloves of
he^own choosing the next,?
She never dreams that the girl who
must look to mother and father for
every penny la often afraid to ask for
the one thing she most wants, be
cause her parents prefer to think and
plan for her . ^
This girl never knows the Joy of^lo
lng just what she wanta just when she
likes?which the dun-colored lady
doea-aavoa days-in tlx? week.
There are stout girls who weep be
cause their mothers insist upon buy
ing plaid silk frocks or blouses for
them, and -thin girls whose misguided
mothers dress them In severely plain,
unnoftcned tailored suits.
The dun-colored lady may wear
wtiaf she will. It ia her own fault If
her life as well as her clothing Is
drab.
She has made of duty a fetish, on
whose altar she la sacrificing her
youth and her pleasure.
She thlnka that becauae ahe must
work for her living, she cannot enjoy
thepleasures allotted to the girl of
leisure.
What that dun-colored little lady
needa more than anything elae la con
tact, physical and spiritual, with nor
mal, healthy, happy, wage-earning
girls of whom there are millions all
over the United States.
Above all, she ought to knds?*?j|;
beautiful character who recently came
into my own business life.
< rfere waa a woman close to 60,
whose husband deserted her for a
younger but certainly not more at
tractive wpman. She had lived the
absolutely' sheltered life, never wor
rying as to where the next month's
rent and the next week's meat bill
muat come'from, .always assured of
her weekly. allow an op. nnti. r.rmtftiti.
her dally routine of home-making.
Then "suddenly all waa swept from
her?husband, funds, aense of aecur
lty, protection and privacy.
8on>* one tpid her the was wonder*1
fully well preserved for her year?,
The oompllment gave her an Idea. Hh4
?eld: ,'wp ' , .. \/W
"I've kept down wrinkles. manicured
m Made, >M e?f relasd jpjr figure
to good condition, nil for myself. I
wonder If I could show other women
how?" /.
She took a few lessons from expert
manicurists and facial masseurs, bad
some cards printed, rented a liny flat,
moved In what wan left of her old
home-fittings, established her mother
and picked op her new life with a
?mile.
I asked her today why she was
thankful. She smiled her radiant, hon
est smile and answered: "Oh, for so
much! First, to think that a way
was opened for me to earn my living
and thus he Independent.
"Second, for my health- I feel so
strong and capable again.
"Third, for my mother. She makes
home for me now.
"Fourth, for the fact that I do not
owe a dollar. Debt Is such a terrible
thing to face on Thanksgiving morn
ing."
How the dun-colored little lady
would have stared at our new-found
friend. y.
"What's the use of being healthy
and good-looking," she would ask. "If
the man you had loved for years Is
not around to admire you?
"And what Is the use of being thank-,
ful for just a mother. Every one has
a mother?and then this woman must
support her mother from #er slender
earnings. That looks more like a cause
for worry than for tha^ui.
"Then one deserves no credit for be
ing out of debt when you ^have so
small an Income that you do not dart>
have anything charged."
Dun-colored little ladles always have
their*-own arguments with which to
flght any unruly feelings of thanks*
giving and happiness.
But of a truth the wage earning
woman today has much for,which to
be thankful. I recently met a white
haired woman, who ranked among the
.pioneer, business women of New
York. L
She said that when she first opened
her shop, .the curlous-mlnded, boys,
men and women, used to hang round
the door for a peek at her and often
followed her on the street.
The American girl In business fs_
particularly fortunate, according to
the light of an Englishman, who has
been studying sociological conditions
lnxAmerlca. y
lie found himself one noon at a
great white and gold restaurant In
?the financial district of New York
City. All around him at other tables
were well-groomed, yell-dressed, well
behaVed young women. He said to
his host:
"And who are these young womenT
Do they buy rfnd sell stocks?"
His host smiled.
"Not at all. They are our stenogra
phers, clerks and private secrtarles."
"Ah?" said the bewildered English*
man, "but?er?they look so like la
dles."
Yes, we have reached the point
where we may work for our living and
still be regarded as ladles In the
broadest sense of the word.
Breadwlnnlng Is today a badge of
honor," and the woman who earns her
own living Is not a social outcast. So
much snobbery has America lost
through the womanliness and Intelli
gence of Its business girls.
So much have the little dun-colored
ladles to be grateful for?Indepen
dence, and honor and happiness In In
dependence, If only they will follow
the girls who have learned to walk on
the sunny side of life's broad street.
All happiness is comparative. All
causes for Thanksgiving are compara

nings, a negro, was found guilty by
a Jury In the criminal court oPthe
murder of Clarence A. Hlller on the
night of September 19, and sentenced
to hang.
Judge Kavanaugh, who presided at
tho Jennings trial, declared when obr
Jectlon was first mad? to the evidence
presented by the state that in his
opinion the murderer of Hlller wrote
his signature when ho rested his hand
upon a freshly painted porch railing
at the Hlller home.
This porch ratling was sawed off
and photographs were made of the fln
ger prints in the paint. Following Jen
nings' arrest three photographs were
compared with new Imprints of his

Nevertheless, he was not unmindful

W. J. Clay* who live on a farm in

The death of Senator Clay, who for

A man of unswerving honesty, of in

representative of a proud and Inde
pendent people In the nation's highest
lawmaking body.
If there is one trait in his charac
ter which deserves to be emphasized
above all the rest, It was his absolute
imnoBty. This quality was recognized
by his colleagues on the floor, as well -
ad by tho occupants of the press gal
elry. There was never any taint of
suspicion about any vote that Sena

Mr. clay was first named senator
on October 7, 1890, to succeed Hon.

exciting contests for that office ever

constitution, and Gov. W. Y. Atkin- '?
aon. There were other contestants In
the beginning, but the race soon nar
rowed down to these three. For ft '
long while the outcomo hung in the
balance, with the Indications favoring
Atkinson, Howell and Clay alternating
for second place. Finally, through the
action of Captain liowell in throwing
his support to Clay, the latter waa
elected. *
Mr. Clay was re-elected in 1903 and
again in 1909, and his third term
would have expired on Maroh 3, 1915. '
