In,? their appreciation of the blessings
which ithey have been receiving dur

hope that tho hand which distributes
6o liberally will not be closed during
the year which Is to come. With
many the feeling of thankfulness is
sincere while the :iope Is universal.
With others tho feeling of thankful
ness Is entirely lost, some see only
the opportunity for a b!g dinner
with turkey as the main dUh and this
coupled cWher wJth n trip to the

only tho opportunity for a Hunt, and

Entirely lost. Tho class, however,

On the day which is set apart for

According to Jacobils Damm, for
whoml his Iynlekorboe&r blood, has
lono so little, tho most demoralizing
feature of a demonstration such as
occurred ln the vicinity 'of tho groat
metropolitan newspapers on election
night is the "tickler." To nvold con
fusion, let it bo understood right hero
that tho tickler Is nn apparently In-J
nocuous devlco consisting of n tuft of
feath"rs fastened to the end of a Blon-
der stick a yard or so ln length. It la

It Is uot for tbnt reason, however,
that Jacobus Damm Is so pronounced

that It doesn't tlcklo; that it falls to
