Telepathy.
“Telepathy” is an instance of a new
fangled word for an old thing. Bacon
called it “sympathy” between two dis
tant minds. Izaak Walton similarly ex
plained Dr. Donne’s vision in Paris of
his wife and dead child, observing that
“If two lutes are strung to an exact
harmoney, and one is struck, the other
sounds.” Scottish highlanders, who
would have been puzzled by the word
“telepathy,” have long been familiar
with the idea for which it stands. An
drew Lang quoted the case of a poor
highland woman who wrote to her son
In Glasgow: “Don’t be thinking too
much of us, or I shall be seeing you
some evening in the byre.”
My father once had a curious tele
pathic experience. He was dressing
In his bedroom one morning when he
\ suddenly saw the face of a Scotch

THANKSGIVING DINNER TABLE
By ADELE MENDEL.
THANKSGIVING is a real home holiday, and It will add greatly to the success of your dinner if >ou plan tljp
table decorations as a surprise for the family reunion. , ,
Truly wonderful results can be accomplished at a slight expenditure and the decorative crepe paper In
symbolic designs. ‘ The table pictured had a Valance of crepe paper in corn design attached to the damask table
cloth, paper napkins and doilies of the same design were used.
The candle shades accentuate the harvest idea by their decoration of ears of corn cut out of the paper napkins
and appliqued on a green paper foundation. .
The central decoration is remindful of old Puritan days. Two dolls, dressed as Puritans, stand upon a mound
of green fringed paper. Little paper mache turkeys, filled with candy, are hidden in the grass. These are at
vached to ribbons which reach to each place. Priscilla is dressed in somber gray crepe paper gown, white kerchief
and cap. John Alden’s suit is similar in color to the maid’s. Other Puritan dolls are on the candy boxes. A white
card, pasted across each box, serves as a name card.
For favors paper caps are wrapped in the napkins and enclosed in napkin rings of pasteboard, covered in corn
designed paper. - - .

THANKSGIVING
By GEORGE MUNSON.
John Robinson lay on his bed in the
hall room which he occupied in the
cheap lodging house, reading a letter
from his folks up-state. It was sign
ed by his mother and his two sisters.
“We shall all be thinking of you
next Thursday when we eat our
Thanksgiving dinner,” they wrote.
“Father sends you his love and hopes
you are well. He is glad you are get
ting along so nicely. We wish you
could be with us, but, as you say,
business is business and you will
have to be at work Friday morning.”
There was much more, but Robin
son had only skimmed that part about
the doings on the farm. His heart
was in the cottage in the little ham
let A\'here he had been reared before
he went to the city, two years before,
to make his fortune. His tales of suc
cess had been lies, amiably devised
for the sake of the old people.
John Robinson was only twenty- ;
four, but he knew that if he were for- j
ty his prospects would be no brighter. |
Ho was just an ordinary, clean-mind- j
ed country boy, caught in the ma-1
chinery of the city, and just now earn- ;
ing a wage of eight dollars a tyeek as \
a grocer’s clerk. That was as well as |
he cpuld do. He might have been a !
longshoreman, if he were stronger, j
and earned a little more, or a street
car conductor, or fill any one of many
such positions. But he saw quite
clearly the exact limitation of his
prospects. He wished he were back I
on the farm again. But lie could not j
swallow his pride. He had gone off
amid the salutations of the half en- j
vious village lads of his own age,
and to go back would mean a terrible
downfall In their estimation and a
confession of failure.
A strange and yet familiar smell as
sailed his nostrils. Of a sudden he
realized that he was hungry. He hqd
intended to spend that Thanksgiving
day in his room, resting, and had
made a cheap mess of bacon and eggs
upon the little alcohol stove on which
he cooked his breakfasts. But his
starved body suddenly demanded bet
ter nourishment; it clamored desper
ately, wildly, for this now remem
bered delicacy.
He knew what it was. The girl in
the adjacent room was cooking a tur
key !
He knew' her to nod to on the i
stairs when she came home in the j
evening from the department store in j
which she worked. Fanny—that was j
the only name he knew her by—was ,
pretty and gentle and had a sort of i
frightened look in her eyes which
haunted him, since it was so like
the look which he had worn for the
first few months after his arrival. He
had never had the courage to speak to
her. . |
That odor was very tempting.. He j
opened his door a little. Then he saw
that her door was ajar also, and, as
he w'ent softly out he came face to
face with her. Her hair was dis
heveled and her face red from bend
ing over her gas stove.
“O won’t you—wouldn’t you like to
join me?” she said timidly; “It*s my j
Thanksgiving dinner,” she continued, I
with a little laugh. “I thought—l was
afraid you might be hungry. Mrs. :
Higgins said you cooked all your own I
food,” she continued.
John’s heart was beating quite vio
lently, for some reason or other, as
he followed her in. Upon the stove
was a frying pan that sent forth the
appetizing odors which he had dis
cerned; and in it lay a quarter of a
delicatessen store turkey.
“I think it’s done,” said Fanny, aud
she removed it from its resting place
and set it upon a platter. Then, open- j
ing a cupboard, she took down two j
plates from a shelf, two knives, two :
forks, two napkins, and a salt shaker. :
Out of the inside of the little stove !
she took four large and piping hot
baked potatoes.
“You weren’t going to eat four!" j
said John, with clumsy jocularity, and i
BILL TERRISS AND IRVING
former Smelled the Great Actor’s
Beefsteak and V/as Quick to
Accept the Invitation.
Of his old days at the Lyceum thea
ter in London with the late Sir Henry
Irving, Forbes-Robertson tells many
Interesting anecdotes. Among others
is one of William Terriss, physically
the handsomest actor of his day:
“Irving was very fond of Bill Terriss,
and was mightily amused by the uu-
Fanny blushed. So she had planned <
to invite him from the beginning! <
However, a healthy appetite does (
not permit of introspective analysis. 1
It was not until the plates were quite (
clean, except for turkey bones and po- ;
tato peel, and the last morsel of the j
feast was done, that they found time 1
for anything but the scrappiest frag
ments of speech. Then John looked !
at Fanny and his heart began beat- t
ing in that absurd way again. How
nice it would be to have somebody
like that —as nice as that —as pretty
as that —to cook every meal for him! j '
And how he had hated to see her
start out so early and come back so i
late from the department store! Be- i
fore he realized it he had forgotten
all his shyness and they were talk- '
ing learnedly and delightfully about j
their homes.
They thought of the free country
air and the heads and fields white ‘
with snow, and the peacefulness of
a little farm of their own; but they <
did not mention the proprietorship. ! i
Still, by a sort of telepathy, each
knew that the other was thinking of
that. And the stuffy little lodging |
house room became filled with ro- 1
mance for them and they looked won- j (
deringly upon each other and thought j
that fate was very kind.
“And it’s this way,’’ said John. “1 ]
know that I was a fool to leave the j
farm and come here. There was just
the one thing I knew all about, and
could have succeeded at, and I threw
it up to take up something I never
can succeed at.” j,
“Same here,” said Fanny briskly.
“If you knew how tired I get of try
ing on ladies’ shoes! And they have •

such dreadful tempers, some of them, \
and sometimes their feet are so out j
of shape I have hard work to keep I
from laughing at them.”
“I’m *ure they can’t any of them be
j as pretty as yours,” said John, and
|he blushed almost as deeply as she. !
j And then as they sat there side by j
side John found cqurage to draw his j
chair so close that it actually touched j
Jiers, and before he knew what he
was doing he found himself holding
her little hand in his. And she let
S him hold it —that was the astonishing
' thing!
“Fanny," he said —it was the first !
| time he had called her that —“if I j
i could save up three hundred dollars I
I could buy a little place on mortgage
and make it pay. I know I could make
it pay. But I can't save a penny and
never shall, for I 'can’t earn enough.
But if you would go into partnership
with me for just one year, and we had
one room instead of two —and two |
could live just as cheaply as one— j
and after a year we had saved up ;
three hundred dollars, do you j
I think—?”
But it was more, astonishing still |
i when she let him kiss her. .And their j
i poor little arrangement seemed like a
i financier miracle and the heavens
i were opened in her little bare hall
j room.

conscious impertinence with which
Terriss treated him. Irving had a grill
room (called the Beefsteak club) just
off the stage, near his own dressing
room. One night Terriss smelled the
savory odor of appetizing cooking.
‘Fine smell, that, guv-nor!’ he said to
Irving during a wait in the wings. ‘Yes.
very good,’ agreed Irving, and added:
‘You must come along some time and j
have supper with me, my boy!' ‘Noth- ;
ing would please me better, guv-nor,’
said Terriss, to which Irving replied: .
‘Well, when would you like to come?’ j
our home for ourselves,” he said pres
cntly. “Doesn’t it make you happy?
Can you be as happy as I am, Fanny?
Do you know, I don’t know what your
other name is. Isn’t that strange?”
“I don’t want to tell you, John.”
“But don’t you think I ought ,to
know?”
“Well, but what’s the use of telling
you when you say I’ve got to lose it
so quickly?”

Novel From a Film.
There is nothing new in the utiliza
j tion of novels for the purposes of the
! cinematograph, but the proposal that
novelists are to be commissioned to
adapt film plays for the library is a
distinct innovation. The adaptation of
a play into a novel has, however, often
1 been undertaken in recent years, and
j several dramatic successes have thus
j been given a wider audience. One
of the first, films to be made into a
novel is “A Message From Mars,”
which has the usual distinction of
going from the stage to the cinema,
and thence to the library, thus revers
ing the customary process.

Tradition has it that the bell was first
heard ringing underground on the oc
casion of the funeral of a McEnhill.
and that it was then dug up and se
cured by the family.
“Tonight,’ responded Terriss promptly.
Irving was delighted with the business
like acceptance of his invitation.”

I Filled With |
| the Spirit |
Z By REV. JAMHS M. CRAY. D. D. |>
X Dean of Moody Bible Institute <|s
<& of Chicago
TEXT—Be not drunk with wine where
in Is excess, but be filled with the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:18.
r— The Holy Spirit
is not a thing or
> ; an influence, but
a divine person,
because in the
' il||| holy scriptures
there are ascrib
ed to him the
f works, attributes
and n ames °f a ■
person. This di
vine person
dwells in true be
llevers on Jesus
W*m> Christ. He acts
upon them not
living reality with
in. “What, knew ye not that your bod
ies are the temples of the Holy Ghost,
which Is in you?” It is also true that
when he comes to dwell in the be
liever, as he does at his regeneration
and conversion, he comes to dwell in
him forever.
But it seems to be one thing to be
indwelt by the Spirit, and another to
be infilled by him, a distinction met
with again and again in the New Tes
tament.
Filled With the Spirit.
The strong figure used in this chap
ter gives an idea of what is meant
by being filled with the Spirit. A
man intoxicatetd with wine is under
control of that which has entered
into him. His countenance, his walk,
his breath, his conversation, his
thought, give evidence of it. So are
Christians to be filled with the Holy
Spirit that their very faces may de
clare that they “have seen the face of
God.” Their conduct should be gov
erned by him, their steps directed,
their thoughts controlled by his in
fluence and gracious power.
This brings us to the apostle’s prac
tical application of this truth, telling
us that when so filled we will mani
fest the spirit of submisslveness one
to another in the fear of God. Wives
will be submissive to their husbands
as unto the Lord, and husbands will
love their wives as their own bodies
an# as Christ loved the church. Let
the right spirit take possession of
husband and wife and dpmestlc In
felicity is at an end, but the right
spirit is only and always God’s Holy
Spirit.
Children and parents are next ad
dressed. The child who knows -the
Lord, and in whom his spirit dwells,
will obey his parents because it Is
right to do so. And parents In such
a case will not provoke their children
to wrath, but “bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Solution of Industrial Wars.
Employers and employes come next.
The employe who knows Jesus Christ
will serve his employer faithfully be
cause "he will be serving Christ.
There’ will be no more eye-service
there. He will not be looking at the
clock for quitting time, nor loafing
when the foreman’s back is turned.
He Is aware that another Is keeping
the record whose eye is everywhere,
and that of him he shall receive the
reward.
But the employer who knows Jesus
Christ will act toward his employe
correspondingly. He will not be a
hard, unappreciative master, knowing
that he himself has a master in heav
en who is no respecter of persons.
Here is the solution of industrial wars.
The gospel can do what unions and
amalgamations and strikes and lock
outs can never do. The truest pa
triots and philanthropists are the
men and women in our pulpits, our
mission halls, and on the street cor
ners testifying to the saving and
keeping power of the Son of God.
In other words It Is not social
service” that the world so much
needs today as It Is salvation. The
“social service” movement Is good,
and has a large constituency and
large financial support. Several well
known millionaires have each given
a larger sum within a few years, for
educational and philanthropic enter
prises than all which Is spent an
nually for the support of the whole
number of Christian churches In the
United States. Organizations and
agencies for social betterment are
multiplying today to a bewildering
extent. There Is an agency to meet
almost every kind of distress of man.
woman or child, we are glad of It,
but as a careful and wide observer
has affirmed, “the more closely the
facts are examined the more apparent
the inadequacy and Ineffectiveness of
the measure thus employed.” And
he goes on to ask, “As the limitations
of social effort thus become more
sharply defined, is it out of place to
suggest that there may be a factor
In the problem of great significance
which has been almost entirely neg
lected?” That factor, we believe, is
the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bring
men to Christ, and let his Spirit fill
them, and all our problems are solved.
Without Hope.
Without hope no man can succeed
In life, but in order to abiding
achievement. It is necessary to secure
for one’s hopes a sure and adequate
foundation. Mere poetical and senti
mental gush about hope will not serve
the purpose of a sufficient and de
pendable motive for conduct. Hope
deferred raaketh the heart sick, and a
shallow optismism which assumes
that all is right with one’s life with
out taking God into account is worse
than no hope at all, since it deludes
the soul into a false sense of securi
ty, and to that extent delays the at
tainment of a true faith in the future
which comes of a sincere faith in the
Lord and his promises. Hope In God,
and your hope will never be in vain;
trust in the Lord and do good, and
you will have an indisputable right
to be an optimist.

EFFORT TO SOFTEN THE BLOW
Possibly Things Would Have Hap
pened if Mrs. Jones Had Heard
Remark of Her Husband.
Every one has heard authentic
stories of the man who asked another,
"Who is that old frump over yonder?”
and got the reply, "She is my wife.”
But the story doesn’t go far enough.
Jones observed an old lady sitting
across the room.
“For heaven’s sake!” he remarked
to Robinson, “who is that extraordi
narily ugly woman there?”
“That,” answered Robinson, "Is my
wife.”
Jones was taken aback, but moved
up front again.
"Well,” he said persuasively, “you
just ought to see mine!” —New York
Evening Post.
Charge of the Light Brigade-
Mr. Stevens noticed that the little
daughter of the family ate her cereal
in a far from enthusiastic manner.
“Don’t you like that, my dear?” he
inquired.
“Not pertic’ly,” replied the child.
“Why do you eat it, then?” asked
the visitor.
The little girl paused with her
spoon on the edge of the bowl, and
looked at the guest with serious eyes.
“Why, it’s got to be eaten,” she an
swered gravely. “The groceryman
gives mother a rag doll for every two
packages she buys, and it’s got to be
eaten every morning.”—New York
Evening Post.
Bare Necessity.
A lecturer was discoursing on the
prodigal son. To show his audience
to what depths the wayward youth
had sunk, byway of a modern illus
tration he said:
“A lad left home with good inten
tions. but evidently got into bad com
pany. He eventually had to pawn
his overcoat in order to raise money
to keep himself. However, his coat
and waistcoat had to go the same
way. Again he needed money, and
had to pawn his trousers and likewise
his shirt and vest. Then he came to
himself.”

A Trifle Inclined That Way.
“Is Jones lazy?”
“Lazy’s no name for it. Why, he
will go into a revolving door, and
then wait for somebody to come in
and turn it around.”

“How are you on the income tax?
Against it or for it?”
“For it. I should worry.”

WORKS ALL DAY
And Studies at Night on Grape-Nuts
Food.
Some of the world’e great men have
worked during the day and studied
evenings to fit themselves for greater
things. But it requires a good consti
tution generally to do this.
A Ga. man was able to keep it up
with ease after he had learned the
sustaining power of Grape-Nuts, al
though he had failed in health before
he changed his food supply. He says;
“Three years ago I had a severe at
tack of stomach trouble which left me
unable to eat anything but bread and
water.
“The nervous strain at my office
from 6 A. M. to 6 P. M. and improper
foods caused my health to fail rapidly.
Cereal and so-called “Foods” were
tried without benefit until I saw Grape-
Nuts mentioned in the paper.
“In hopeless desperation I tried this
food and at once gained strength, flesh
and appetite. lam now able to work
all day at the office and study at night,
without the nervous exhaustion that
was usual before I tried Grape-Nuts.
“It leaves me strengthened, re
freshed, satisfied; nerves quieted and
toned up, body and brain waste re
stored. I would have been a living
skeleton, or more likely a dead one by
this time, if it had not been for Grape-
Nuts.”

A Woman Is as Old
as She Looks
But her beauty once gone is not lost for
ever. Science has come to her relief, and
she can now smooth back the wrinkles
and crow’s Met, bring back the bloom of
youth to the faded, sallow cheeks, and
clear that muddy, mottled complexion.
Here is the wonderful secret. Purchase
from your druggist two ounces of Casoster
ine nud add to four ounces of water, this will
make a massage cream which should be
used each night, also purchase two ounces
of Borosterine and add to eight ounces
of water, this will make a greaseless cream,
which should be used directly after the
massage. These preparations need not b
confined to the treatment of wrinkles
alone, their use as a cleanser is unsur
passed, they will preserve a healthy com-
Elexion, preventing or curing all blaok
eads, and pimples. If your druggist is
unable to supply you, send one dollar di
rect to the Cootes Laboratories, Norfolk,
Va., and receive these products by return mail
