THANKSGIVING HOT.
■A few days after tho Pilgrims
Fathers Instituted the Thanksgiving
occasion, the newspapers of the per
iod began sawing off a lot of rot
about the things for which they
were thankful and why They have
kept it up even until this day. and
of all the rotien rot that was ever
inflicted upon the bosom of n
God-fearing public, the average
Thanksgiving editorial is under the
wire before anything else on the
tracK reaches the uarter post. As
a literary production in ninety-nine
crises out of the jtossible hundred
it is a blighting, withering, decimal
ing frost. As far a.; anything else
In concerned, if a man has nt sense
to know what he has a right to be
thankful for, it is a lo r of energy
to attempt to tell him. It's better
to tell him to go chase himseli
around a block. butt his head
against a stone fence or a brick
vail or leno'.ate hU belfry of bats.
To say that the ordinary person,
male or female, feels any more
thankful on Thanksgiving than ar>>
other day, except of course for the
feed, is to state aa untruth. We
would not decry the institution. It's
all right, but we should be thank
ful every day for the Nlasslngs we
have received or escaped The mau
point about Thank giving is that i.
is a holiday, and a day off with a
square meal la the bargain is good
for most folks.
Hut suj»pose we were to start out
to tell the dear people the things
f'r which we are thankful, we
would inflict a lot of silly doj.e if
we generalized, and personally It Is
a private matter. The deepest emo
tion^ of huma,] life are not for pub
parade. The sweetest song was
probably never expressed In words
or mu 1c, and demonstration should
not be tanen for real feeling
