THE great American nation tnkes
a holiday at the bidding of the
president every November. Our
many states all unite in keeping
the beautiful festival of Thanksgiving.
Its very name is suggestive because
tile giving of thanks implies a recog
nition of One, unseen but ever-living,
who sends the world the gifts on
which its existence depends. From
Almighty Cod we receive the rain, the
sunshine, the summer's hfeat and the
winter’s cold, the bread we eat, the
fuel that warms us and the clothing
we wear. There are few so foolish or
so stupid as not to believe in the
great Creator and the kind All-Father,
from whose hand our dally blessings
come. Especially should you and I
have a thought of him when the
myriad hemes of the country are en
joying at this season the gifts that
must be traced directly to the kind
ness of heaven. The great nation
keeps Thanksgiving, but the great na
tion is composed of millions of Indi
vidual persons, among them you who
read and I who write. Suppose we
stop and ask ourselves what we like
best about this holiday and what spirit
we may most fittingly bring to its
celebration.
First. I think we like it because it
Is so genial and Jolly, so cheerful and
bright, so patriotic and stirring a day.
Thousands of families are reunited at
the Thanksgiving dinner. The trains
that come to New England or F’enn
sylvania or Illinois, from California,
Oregon and Nevada, bring home for
Thanksgiving men and women who
want to he boys and girls once more
under the old roof.
I remember watching from a train
ns it stopped at a station the delight
ed greeting of a half-dozen people who
seemed to he father, mother, sons and
daughters, as they swarmed upon a
dear little old lady who was waiting
to receive them. Her husband, a
white-haired patriarch, who might
have sat for the portrait of Santa
Claus, was holding his horses while
the children and grandchildren
thronged into the big four-seated
wagon. They had come home for
Thanksgiving. Many such scenes will
be enacted this year, as they hnve
been every year since our country was
settled
If we have been so unwise ns to let
n pessimistic spirit weave its evil spell
around us. let us break the fetters
without delay. Wherever we are, at
home or abroad, rich or poor, let us be
thsnkful that we have reached anoth
er golden milestone In life. 1 repeat
that Thanksgiving Is a genial, cheer
ful, wholesome and breezy day. Let
us make the pent out of it, and wher
ever we are he as Jolly as we ran.
Much to Be Thankful For.
If over we are tempted to nay that
though others have much to be thank
ful for. our lives are hard and our
paths are thorny, let us stop a minute
and see by what standard we are
measuring our blessings. If we look
at C, cripple plodding along with
crutches we cannot help being thank
ful that wre have feet which serve us
well and that we can walk and run
without so much as considering the
effort. If we see somebody who Is
barefooted. w*e may be thankful for
shoes. When the rain beats on the
roof at night we may be thankful for
the house that shelters us. When tbr*
dr .etc r calls next door to see an in
valid who Is tossing with fever we
may be thankful that we are well. If
there are (lowers on the door bell
t< ro«is the street we may toe that. Mu I

home
FAVORS TO PREPARE '
FOR THE GREAT DAY
Not Alone the Children of the Family,
but Alto the Grownupe May Be Fur
niehed Special Trifles to Add Zest
to the Thanksgiving Dinner.
FAVORS for the Thanksgiving din
ner table may be made of pulled
figs, raisins and nuts, held to
gether with toothpicks and topped
with marshmallow heads, the features
outlined In chocolate. Each of these
little figures should be mounted on a
fiat foundation made of u thick, firm
cookie and the toothpick Tegs made to
stand upright by embedding them In
a little mound of chocolate frosting
which should extend outward to form
the feet.
Two Inrge raisins, the ends
thrust into the toothpicks, form the
legs and two small pulled figs serve
as a dress, the figs being thrust on !
the toothpicks so that the tapering J
stem ends shall meet to form a waist j
line. Two raisins are used for each |
arm, ending In a single peanut t >r a I
hand.
The marshmallow head Is covered
with chocolate except cn one side,
where chocolate features are drawn !
with a toothpick dipped In melted j
chocolate. A peaked hat made from
half a fig should top tho grotesque
little figure.
For this work pulled figs nro nbm
lutely necessary. Ordinary layer figs
will not do. as to make the bodies
of these figures the figs must be of
natural shape. These figs come
packed In small baskets and one
basket of figs at 25 cents will make
six favors.
Another style of favor ran he fash
ioned from short, th?"k sticks of
candy. Top the stlcit v.tth a marsh
mallow head, pinching It round, and
drawing chocolate features and a lit
tle curl down the forehoi.d. Press a
couple of figs very thin and curl them
around the enndy doll, keeping them
out from the body by means cf tooth
picks held to the stick of candy with
white frosting. If the stick of candy
Is plnln white, paint chocolate but
tons down the front nnd rest the ab
surd little favor on a square of
sugared popcorn.
If these favors are chosen for tho
children of the family, the grown per
sons may have something different.
Choose paper lnrgnons for the wom
en. the eyeglass portion representing
two miniature pumpkins and the long
handle simulating their stem. Cut
the pattern of a good sized lorgnon
from cardboard, covering the handle
with dull green crepe paper.
Cut four yellow pumpkins from the
crepe paper that comes so decorated
and cover the eyeglass portion of tho
lorgnon on both sides. Cut holes for
the eyes so that these favors may
be nctually used while at the table.
A bow of bright yellow ribbon tied
half way down the handle of the
lorgnon is a pretty addition
For the men have long rolls of yel
low' paper tied at each end to simu
late snap motto papers. Instead of
the usual folded paper cap inside con
ceal a cigar.
THE THANKSGIVING GIRL
Yon may boast of the maiden of summer.
Ami brag of tho maiden of Juno,
Your winter girl may ho a hummer
To skato with and lovingly spoon.
, Toll may Jioaost of the lassie bewltf*hln*
In hobble skirt, store puff and curl.
But give me the maid of the kitchen.
The reliable Thanksgiving girl.

1 all earth's contributions to our need
through this past year: (food l^ord, we
thank thee. For our country’s shelter;

and the Joy of hearts that love; toi
1 the power of great examples; for holj
ones who lead us in the ways of lift
and love; for our powers of grovtb;

Lord, we humbly thank thee! For our
temptations, and for any victory over

blessedness of service and the power
to fit ourselves to others’ needs; for
our necessities to work; for burdens,

that brings us nearer to each other,
nearer to ourselves, near t<f thee, for
life. Wo thank thee. U our Father!

ROOSTING HIGH
GREATEST HOLIDAY
IS OF THE HOME
Especially Does the Day Upon Which
the Nation Gives Thanks for the
Many Mercies Extended Stand aa a
Revelation of Domestic Happiness.
THERE In ample cause for tho spir
it of Thanksgiving day in tho
place which the home holds In
Amerlcaxf life. It Is enough to
make any people grateful to be able
to depend upon such domestic health,
peace and hnpplness us prevail In the
United States.
Thanksgiving day brings uncounted
family reunions. It means the return
to old homes of those who have gone
far away. It reunites circles long
broken. It exalts the family Idea,
the foundation ou which humun so
ciety rests.
And every year the holiday of tho
hearth, the day dedicated, informally
but not the less certainly, to the
home principle, finds the number of
happy .louseholds In America larger
than ever before. Every November
the picture of home gatherings, in
gratitude and peace, 1b painted on a
scale more vast and impressive.
The most extreme pessimist knows
in his heart that this is true. It Is
impossible to reflect upon tho progress
of the country and the gains made
by the people of the United States,
despite all drawbacks and mishaps,
without realizing that In the broadest
sense the life of the nation ij) health
ier. sounder, safer and happier than
ever.
And the old-farfhloned cornerstone
on which this national health and san
ity of mind and spirit rests Ib the
fnmily. It takes Thanksgiving to bring
Into due prominence the enduring
foundation of the wonderfully complex
and elaborate structure of Amerlcnn
life.
When the millions of widened family
circles are formed today, around well
laden tables, the position of tho Ameri
can life is patent to every thought
ful citizen of this republic. It is al
ways clear enough to keen eyed
strangers visiting the foremost coun
try of the New World.
While the great holiday of the home
stands where it has always stood,
where it stands today, as a revelation
of domestic happiness and family loy
ulty. there* will be nothing vitally
amiss with the American nation. Tho
spirit of Thanksgiving day Is a moral
tonic and a guarantee of civic health.
The Best Thanksgiving.
Them Is one blessing which Is npver
taken away from those who want It.
It la worthier of our thanksgiving than
all other blessinga combined. And
tho more we give thanka for It, the
more wo shall see In It to give thanks
for. This blpsalng Is God hlmaelf.
Haro we learned tho Joy of thanking
God for himself? Have we practiced
this form of thanksgiving dally? To
pour out our thanksgiving to God for
what he Is has a remarkable result.
It means that In tho very act of such
thanksgiving wo rec> Ive more of him
to bo thnnkful for. It Is as though,
when we thanked a friend for a gen
erous gift of money, with every word
of our thanks that friend poured more
money Into our hands. Tho outgoing
of our praise to God means the In
coming of God. TiCt us take time
apart on this Thanksgiving day, alone
with God. to praise him and thank
him for what he la. A half-hour apent
thua with him. with perhaps the hook
of Psalms open before us, can make
the day memorable In our lives.
Moreover—let It bo said reverently—
It will make the day memorable In
God's own life; for the praise of his
children rejoices God’s heart. Shell
we not make It a day of thanksgiv
ing In heaven because of onr thanks
giving on earth*’—Sunday School
Tlmea.
Unfortunate In Their Nature.
There will he some who will not
'Ive thanks of any sort on Thanks
Ivlng day. With them tho world Is
ill wrong Justice has fled from the
earth, and all other men are untrust
worthy. Some will mall that, they
were born under an unlucky star and
loot on the dark side of every hies*
ing. Their very presence casts a
gloom on everything. Tt Is against
tbeir natures to grant a thankful word.

Of harmless thouxhta. to watch and keep
Me. while I sleep.

And yet the threshold of my door*

To be more sweet.

LET US ALL GIVE THANKS
Seaton la a Time to Be Glad, and te
Make Others Around Ua Par
take of Our Joy.
Let us make this the hest Thanks
giving of our lives. Remember our
gratitude Is not measured by the size
of tho family larder. Abundance
tends to contentment, but many a
man In llmked circumstances Is hap
pier than others of larger means.
Real wealth and worth lies not In the
abundance a man hath, but In content
ment’s gold. When the heart Is full
the whole world Is richer. Your smile
will go a long way toward making
someone else happy. A cheerful life
opens avenues to future achievement
hidden to him who sees no good
around him. Tho past Is a matter of
record, the present Is near and real,
the future Is limited only by yourself.
Make It all It can be, and history will
add a new chapter, and you will he
the hero.
Let us give thanks. The nation
needs the Inspiration of your song.
There are plenty of groans and grunts
and growls. Wo need more song.
!» hnln't no o*«* to grumble and complain;
lt’» Just as cheap and easy to rejoice.
You will feel more manly by being
glad. It adds to your self-respect and
makes you feel that you lave a place
In the world. Inspire your ago with a
new type of chivalry. Meet drone*
and kickers with a smile and you will
do much to bring In the good time
that Is to be. Wherever you are let
this he a real period of thanksgiving.
Let us see If we cannot add to the
world’s Joy by the spirit of our own
living.
Universal Day of Thanks.
About the Institution of Thanksgiv
ing as It exists today ther'e Is noth
