FOR NEWS , AT $1 PER YEAR
NOW AND THEN.
Thanksjjtvinir with its visions
of roast turkey is upon us. While
the year has held its full measure
of sorrow for sonic of us , yet
withal , it has been a tfood old
ear. Crops have been unusually
tjood and are selling at a fair
> rice. The country as a whole
las been wonderfully prosperous
itid our national life has been
greatly advanced in all that per
tains to a progressive people.
2ivic virtue is becoming a fad
i ml a few conspicuous examples
lave made it popular to be an
loncst public official. Of course
every popular movement attracts
nsincere men > vho attempt to
get in the swim bv doing the
popular thing , and who advocate
lonesty , not from a sense of right
ind duty , but because it is the
best policy. This is true not
only in national and state affairs ,
but is equa.ll ) ' true of ever } ' com
munity however small. Falls
ity has its full share of these
men , but it is one thing to be
thankful for that we have no
more and that we are all on to
their scheme.
But speaking of Thanksgiving.
How many there arc who do not
know how to keep the day.
Dickens in his Christmas Carol
expressed the wish that it might
be said of all of us that we knew
how to keep Christmas. When
one has been around the world a
little , and has witnessed to what
base uses Thanksgiving is given
over , he wishes that all men
might know how to observe the
day propcrlv.
t *

Have you ever been away from
home on Thanksgiving , and
spent the day with the few dis
consolate spirits found about a
city hotel ? You will be thrown
in with a few traveling men who
found themselves unable to get
home for the day , a few actors
who never get home but live the
year round in hotels , and a few
misguided individuals who spend
their holiday shaking dice with
the bar keep and drinking Tom
and Jcrr } * . Of course you cannot
attend to business matters be
cause nobody is in his office. So
you sit in the smoking room and
watch the happy crowd hurrying
by through the snow , all on
pleasure bent. You wonder what
they are doing at home and
picture to yourself the games and
laughter that the home folks
always indulge in. You sec the
impatient children snuffing hung
rily the glorious odors that come
from the kitchen when the door
is opened. While you well ,
you're away from home on
Thanksgiving day and that's
grief enough for anybody. When
the time conies you go to your
lonely dinner without enthusiasm
or appetite. You order roast
turkey from the impulse of senti
ment. Ugh , may the good Lord
deliver me from hotel turkey and
a lonely dinner on Thanksgiving.
After your cigar is smoked you
follow the crowd to the matinee
because there is nothing else to
do. Between acts the disappoint
ment at being absent from home
comes back to you. When the
show is over you wander back to
the hotel and watch the early
night fall , and the darkness
gather over the city. You see
the street lights swing out and
hear the signs creak as they sway
in the wind. Laughing groups
pass the windows hurriedly on
their way home. Then comes a
loneliness like which there is
nothing in the world. The lone
liness of the contagious holiday
spirit and you alien and alone.
If you want to be out of the
picture altogether just try a
Thanksgiving night away from
home.
* *
*
But a Thanksgiving at home.
Ah , that is quite a different
thing. A Thanksgiving properly
celebrated , and there is but one
way to observe the day , leaves a
delightful memory , a good taste
in the mouth and pleasant antici
pations of the next one. A day
when there is neither work to do
nor regrets for wasted time. A
day when you sleep as late in the
morning as you wish. When you
can gather all the absent ones to
the household and talk of things
which have occurred during the
separation and of hopes for the
future. You walk out over the
brown fields and up the hills tak
ing all the little fellows with
you. The keen air gets into
your blood and incites you to
challenge the Hcctcst boy to a
ace. You return to the house
with red face and empty stomach
i ml view the great fellow brown-
tig in the oven with a delight
nlmost childish. And then the
linner Not a course dinner
nind you , for what sane man
would want fish and soup on
Thanksgiving day , Take a look-
it the deliciously browned turkey ,
ust see the rich dressing oo/.ing
out of him. Was there ever such
: i turkey before. Look at the
pumpkin pics and the nuts and
the raisins and then talk about a
course dinner if you dare. No ,
no , you want all the room you
have for the guest of honor , and
there is no place in a Thanks
giving stomach for anything but
an old fashioned Thanksgiving
linner.
hen in the afternoon , when
the little stomachs have stopped
aching and larger stomachs are
less distressed , there is so much
to do and talk about. So many
games for the children to play ,
so little time to'do it all that the
darkness conies before you know
it and the night sets in and
the stars gleam out in the keen ,
clear air before the afternoon
seems fairly begun. The guests ,
if there be guests , gather their
wraps about them and start for
home. The fire is replenished
for the night is cold. The ghostly
fingers of the snow and sleet are
tapping on the windows enhanc
ing by contrast the light and
warmth of the house. The chil
dren are in bud and tucked in for
the night. Nobod ) * has thought
of supper , the very suggestion
would have been unpleasant.
The house seems strangely still
and silent. In the quietude the
snow seems beating louder
against the window and the gust
whistles as it scurries down the
chimney. You . look across the
reading table to where she sits
with her mending The gar
ments have fallen to her lap and
her hands are idle and dreaming
eyes seem to searcli the future
for stories of children grown to
man ar.d womanhood stories yet
untold. You glance at the clock ;
it is late and you lay down your
book.

It has been a nice Thanks
giving , " she says.
Yes , " you reply , "we have all
been at home. "
And that is the way to spend
Thanksgiving , and is the only
kind of Thanksgiving wortli
while.
In the Peaceful Country.
Have you ever driven along a
country road by moonlight ?
That soft dreamy radiance which
all the carefully and artistically
arranged are lights in the heav
ens are ! How the distance and
vastness appeal ! How small one
then knows himself to be ! Tired
eyes rest in the soft silvery light ,
and high-tentioned nerves relax
under the soothing rhythm of
leaves swayed by soft night
winds , and the soul that elusive
inner "I" of every man reaches
out and up to better things.
Truly life is good , you will de
cidegood and well worth while.
Yon will scent the odor of moss ,
and of earth fresh by bubbling
springs teat come from cool , dark
recesses in the near-by groves ,
and there will be strange moving
shadows on the white road as
the oranches bend in the breeze.

Too Late.
Poor Old Bill Wright is dead
it last. Died in the Brown coun
ty poor house , forsaken by friends
ind relatives alike. It is the
iiinic old story so often told :
"Whiskey did it. " It is a sad
requium to sing when the last
trumpet sounds for one who was
once gifted with great mechani
cal skill , and ambition to achieve
success in this world of progress ,
Lt caused an otherwise good man
to die neglected , and there is not
i single tear to drop or a regret
to be expressed over his death.
The only remark heard is that
old Bill is better olT dead. Ilis
end is a terrible object lesson to
those who think they can suppress -
press the liquor traffic by drink
ing it all up and quit some day ,
but , like thousands of others the
day never came , until he was
forced to the poor house without
means or opportunity to procure
the stuff , and then it was too
late.
The old , old , sad , bitter wail
that speaks so much , "TooLate. "

TO EXTEND YOUR LIFE.
Thinking nn Exhaustive Process and
the Need the Brain Worker
Una of Repair.
According to tlio theories propound
ed recently by Dr. Wllliolm Ostwuld ,
of the University of Lclpslc , in his
Iccturo before the students oC Colum
bia university , the length of human
life depends upon the store of psychic
energy which is within the body. The
prolongation of life at pleasure , ac
cording to his theory , should bo mere
ly a question of revitalizing the body
occasionally with this mystcrlotm
force , which travels through the norv-
oun system , autl which experiment lias
shown to bo closely akin to electricity.
Dr. Ostwald said in part :
"Thinking Is the most exhaustive
kind of work , because It consumes
more of this force than nny physical
process. It has often been found ,
upon stopping the process of thought ,
that this energy IB transformed Into
heat In the body , and at the same time
there Is less need of rconforcomont of
the supply of energy. When I am en
gaged In severe menial labor , as I have
been since coming to America , I cat
twice as much as I do when I nm not
HO ( engaged. This only shows that the
brain ' IB constantly using up n supply
of the energy , and to keep up bralu
work wo must kocp supplying the en
ergy from the outside.
"Most of this energy comes in
through the food which wo cat , but
every sense Impression , mich nn see
ing i , hearing or feeling , convoys a cer
\ tain amount of force Into the body.
When the body once receives the en
ergy , it acts Just llko any other ma-
clilno ( In its transferences. The ques
tion ' of long life then in simply a ques-
tlon of keeping up the supply. As
long j as the vital organs are nblo to
assimilate i properly , thus providing
the ' body with the force that Is used
up In mental and physical processes ,

BLANKETS AND WOOLENS.
How to Glcanso Blankets the itlght
Way and How to Put Away
Woolens.
Washing Illiinkots. When my lit-
tla neighbor washes blankets , It is
a pleasure just to sit by and watch
the pretty , soft , fluffy things blow
ing on the lino. The process IB so
Hlmplo that I have learned to do It
myself. Cheese a warm , sunny , but
windy day. This IB Important , if the
best results are wished. Whllo dry ,
look over them carefully , and put a
safety pin In the center of the
spoiled spots. For ono pair of blan
kets , prepare n. muls with halt a cake
of any good white canp , with ono
lablcspoonful each of borax and am
monia. The suds must bo ns hot as
you can bear the hand In. Lot tUo
blankets stand In this tor an hour ,
and It the water Is too cold , add
more hot water. Then look up the
places where the pins are , rcmovo
these and rub between the hands
until the spots disappear. Do not ruben
on ' the board , and do not soap on the
blanket direct ; have ready a second !
tub , of suds , and paddle them around
in this , squeezing and pressing be
tween ' the hands ; rinse In not less
than three waters of the same tern-
peratnro , running thorn through the
wringer each time. Fasten with at
least a dozen pins to the line , and *
shako ' frequently while drying.
Storing Woolens. This is the sea
son i for putting away woolen clothes
and ' furs. No moth balls or other
vile-smelling substance will bo needed
If the garments arc hung on the line
in the sun , whipped with a light
switch , and In the case of clothes all
the soil spots carefully cleaned. Then
tie up in clean pillow coses or , better
still , fold over the hems and run
along on the machine. A chain-stitch
machine is best for this purpose , as it
is easily ripped ; but If a lock-stitch
is used , have the bottom thread loose.

To B/enew a Mirror.
Keep 1'or this purpose a piece ot
sponge , a cloth , and ailk handkerchief ,
all entirely free from dirt , as the least
grit will scratch the fine surface or
the glass. First sponge It with a llttlu
spirits of wine , or gin and water , to
clean off all spots ; then dust over it
powdered blue tied m muslin , rub It
lightly and quickly off with the cloth ,
and finish by rubbing with the silk
handkerchief. Be careful not to rub
he edges of the frame.
Moth in Carpets.
If the moths have got into a carpet
It must bo taken up , thoroughly
shaken , and pressed with a flatiron as
hot as It will bear without scorching.
Then liberally sprinkle the floor whora
It Is to lie with spirits of turpentine ,
