To the Harvest Lord.
Reap high ths hoard with plenteous cheer
and gather to the feast.
And toast the sturdy Pilgrim bend whose
courage never ceaeed:
Give praise to that AU-Gracloua One by
whom their steps were led.
And thanks unto the Harvest Lord who
sends our daily bread.
--Alice Williams Brotherton.
Fortunate Americans.
When the American citizen looks
abroad he feels inclined to give thanka
for the possession of a system of gov
ernment which, aespite partisan dif
ferences. commauds universal respect
and confidence. The exceptionally
high standard of Intelligence which
here prevalla is a guaranty against
sudden movements in opposition to
the established order. The vast ma
jority of the American people are
capable of analyzing conditions. They
keep in close touch with the affairs
of the world and with the circum
stances of their own land. They are
growing steadily in political acumen
and are becoming more and more effi
ciently Independent In their determin
ations. With every peaceful political
revolution they strengthen the nation
al foundations by providing outlets for !
sentiments and dissatisfactions.
Mistake Teo Many Make.
If. on this Thanksgiving season, you
feal n great melancholy, a lack, afl
sense of lose or of life's injustices,
take this to heart: The cure for every
ioea aad lack is In your qwa power.*'

It is dangerous to carry money in your pocket
any time; especially so just now when cotton is
moving freely. The highway robber, the "fire
bug, and the fakir avoid people known to bank
their money. Because you may not have suffered
losses at the hands of any of these three is no
reason why your time may not come next If
