Show us the way to se? the good
That comes into our lives each day.
The blessings dimly understood
That gjtves us cheer along the way.
Give us content, with gold and gear
Though much or little we possess ?
Let us be glad for what is here
On this, our day of thanKfulness.
But broaden, too, the soul and mind
So that our thanKs will not be found
By custom's rule and rote confined
Within this one day's narrow bound*
Let us be glad for early rain
That bids the flowers wa he and creep,
Let us be glad for snowy plain
That holds them in their winter sleep,
Give us the heart to understand
The graciousness pf spreading treesi
The changing seasons, wisely planned.
The storm and sunshine? all of these.
Fot all the brightness of the dawn,
And cheerfulness of noon and nighti
j And all that Joy is builded on ''
Give us the gface to see aright.
Let us remember each Kind word
(7 By weight of goodly feeling blest?
ILach gentle thing ye've said or heard?
And blot from memory the rest
Give us the grace to see and Know
The benefits along the way ?
The many things that help us so.
Let us be tjhanKful every day.

NATION'S DAY OF GRATITUDE!
Henry Ward Beecher Has Splendidly
Set Forth the Season of Universal
Rejoicing.
Henry Ward feeecher expressed him
self as beautifully on Thanksgiving as
any man ever has. Said he:
"Thanksgiving day is the one na
tional festival which turns on home
life. It Is not a day of ecclesiastical .
saints. It is not a national anniver
sary. It la not a day celebrating a re
ligious event It Is a day of nature. It
is a day of thanksgiving for the year's .
history. And it must pivot on the
household. It is the one great festival
of our American life that pivots on the
household. A typical Thanksgiving
dinner represents everything that has
grown in all the summer, fit to make 1
glad the heart of man. It is not a riot
ous feast. It Is a table piled high I
among the group of rollicking young
and old, with the treasures of the grow- i
ing year, accepted with rejoIclngsxand
interchange of many festivities as a
token of gratitude to Almighty Qod. ? - J
"Remember God's bounty in the |
year, . String the pearls of his favor.
Hide the dark parts ^except so far as
they are breaking out in light. Give
this one day to thanks, to joy, to grati*
tude." ? Le Row's "Pieces for , Every i
Occasion."

t - Thanksgiving day alone, of ail our
few ^pleasure-aays, is dedicated pri
marily to home; the comparatively
few who heed the advice of the presi
dent's proclamation to assemble in
their various places of worship rarely
think of any thank-offerings. . beyond
those incited by family blessings. Let
ub keep its traditions. ? Exchange1.

OLD CODGER IS REMINISCENT
Like 80 Many That Have "Had Their
Cake," Ha la Hera Sighing for
the Good Old Daya.
In youth I had an appetite that rare
ly slept except at night, and even then
I often rose and creeping on my tippy
toes stole to the pantry on the sly to
finish up a pumpkin pie.
An ordinary meal for me would aat*
isfy the needs of three stich puny chil
! dren as we raise in these degenerate
days.
1 never saw the klAd of cake that
handed me a stomachache; and as for
pie and sim'lar stuff, I never though I
had enough. There wasn't any sort of
.meat or fruit or bread I couldn't eat.
The day of days in my career cam'e
'round on time with every year.
Thanksgiving to a healthy boy express*
es all there is of joy.
'Twas then we eaw about the farm
the red and gold of autumn's charm.
The cribs were bursting with the corn;
the chestnuts strewed the ground at
morn until the little boys were out to
gather them with laugh and shout.
Uncles and aunts and cousins came to
join in jest and song and game. The
little pigs were sleek and fat; the tur*
key ne'er eusplcloned that the day of
doom was near at h&nd, but spread his
, tail with manner grand, and gobbled
1 with the sam& old pride yp to the very
1 day he' died. ?r
TheS came the climax of my story
Thanksgiving dinner in its glory. The
family table was increased to twice
its usual length at least, and graqdad
with a solemn face began the feast by
saying grace, then took tho carving
knife in hand and wo were off! My!
it was grand. The kids were seated all
around, you bet they made a joyful
sound as they beheld the good things
stored so long now heaped upon the
board.
The old folks joked, the young folks
laughed, and many a merry toast was
quaffed. ? The kids ? they just sat. still
and ate tintil they'd polished every
plate.
Thanksgiving in the real old etyle
beat modern feasts by many a mile. I
have my pig and turkey still but some*
how they don't seem to fill me with
the same delight as \yhen I was a little 1
boy of ten. And when I sit in lonely
state, taint like we used to celebrate
that happy day of mirth and joy long
since, when I was Just a boy.
