If tliero is ono virtue that we, as Americans, ought to cultivate, it is the virtue- of gratitude. Wo arc so de ficient as a nation in the practice of Thanksgiving, that our attention must annually lie called to it by proclamations issued by tho President of these United States and by the Chief Executives of the various Com monwealths. It is a stern arraign ment of our careless and slipshod mode of living, that the chief magis trates are compelled to use the great weight and dignity of theii ofllcial positions to compel us to pause, and pay to the Giver of every good ami perfect gift the meed of gratitude which is His due. Thanksgiv ing is the only natlonnl holiday which vto as a people possess. Christ mas is for the Christian; Xew Year is dedicated to the forming of new resolutions by those who have fallen into the slough of despond, and are desirous of mending their ways; Fourth of July is set aside for the creation and strengthening of the patriotic spirit, but it remains for Thanksgiving alone to invite all, for eign or native horn, high or low, rich or poor, healthy or sick, he they Hebrew, Itnliun, German, Swedish, Dutch, English, Scotch, Irish, Gieek, American or hateer their nation ality may be, to cease from their av ocations, to meditate upon their blessings, to gather about the cheer ful ilrcside, to assemble in the con gregation of the faithful, and oll'ei' to tho Almighty thanks for the in numerable benefits which He has conferred upon them. What if turkey is twenty-eight cents a pound let us be glud it isn't thirty-eight! whut if the to bacco crop is light, which it isn't, let us rejoice that we can still get a good cigar for a nickel! what if the crops did not measure up to our expectations, and we all know this has been a banner year for the farmer, let us bo glad that buck wheat cakes and sausage still grace tho breakfast table! what if the country went Democratic, let us hope and pruy and work thut at the next election the peoplo will return their best friend to lower! what if the work we are doing does not bring us the returns we think it should, let us not forget the fact that we are in the possession of health, thut wo ure getting living wages, that wo nro uhlo to lay aside for u rainy day, and that wo have been blessed with many friends, without which life is not worth the living. " 'Tink oh your murcles, chillen," suid old Aunt Chloe, and dear old "Aunty" was Just right when sho made that sage observation. Con sider how much better tho year has turned out to be than you expected on January 1. Take out your old diary, and spend an hour in going over its pages, and count your blessings of tho past twelve months. Oh yes, you were sick, wo know. Hut then, you had loving parents, affectionate children, thoughtful friends, and skilled physicians to pull you through. Oh, yes, tho fellow that borrowed Ten Dollars of you last summer hasn't paid it buck yet, but ho will if you give him tlmo enough. Oh, yes, tho little "flyer" you took in stocks, didn't perhaps pan out as well as you expected, but then better luck next tlmo! . Oh, yes, your dearest friend went back on you but there are moro good peoplo to be met, and more fust friendship to be formed. Oh, yes, you can't sleep us well us you could, and your appendix isn't working us it ought to, but then thank tho Lord that you can sleep at all, and bless His name that you haven't been obliged to have some Scruuton or Xew York surgeon remove that ex tru organ for you! Yes, there's lots to bo thankful for. You couldn't begin to count up your mercies If you wit down nil dny, Thanksgiving. Resolve then ' that you will share tho mercies that have so richly been bestow etl upon you.(J .Muko the "other fellow" hap pier. Sit. down after you have eit Jojcd your dinner, and write your dear old white-haired mother a good long letter. It may he tho last tlmo she may be on earth to enjoy it word from ou. Take home a box of chocolates to the dear wife who Is Just as loving as she was when you asked her to he your wife "for better or for worse," although her locks may be tinged with gray. Give tho little folks n good time. Let them eat all they want. wo have lots of good doctors and skilled pharmacists in Honcsdnk who will take care of tho Thanksgiving "aftcr-clTect."ir you haven't gone to church for u yenr, why "get the habit"; go to day! Don't become so taken up with the cares of this world, that you forget to give thanks to tho Lord for ail thut ho bus done for you. Begin to sny "Thank you," for small favors even, and by and by the spirit of gratitude will grow on you, and you will find that life will become sweet-, friendships grow mora mellow, and you will grow more and more unlo tho stature of a perfect man. Cultivate tho virtue of grati tude. Water it with tho dew of lov ing deeds of kindness. And when the Autumn of your life shall come you will go out into tho Great Un known, honored and loved by those who knew you on earth, and fitted for the enjoyment of whatever the Great Future may have in store for you. It is never too Into to begin to cultivate the virtue of gratitude! Why not start to-day?. MY BEST PAL. To-night as 1 sit in the glow of tho lamp, And stealing shy glances at you, Tho smoke from my pipe scattors lazily up And pictures come filtering through; Tho pictures of other-day fellows and friends Ah yes, your conjecture Is right. My "bachelor days," since you make me confess And fancy plays hob with my sight. The faces of fellows forgotten, well nigh, Who once were as dear as could be Of one who, in trouble, extended a hand And one like a brother to me; Of one with a nature that lightened tho load As only the good-natured can, Another who helped me when sorrow was near And taught me the manhood of man. Good friends, every one! In days that have passed We ranged the four ways of the earth. We tasted its good and we tasted its had And shared In its sorrow and mirth; We've jostled had fortune, we've jested with Fate. Wo'vo sampled the worst and the best; Wo've taken the world, and its ways a's they camo And trusted to Luck for the rest. Good pals, every one, hut absent for long And scattered, their various ways! Though still I am steadfast and loy ally truo To pals of my bachelor days, To-night as I watch In the smoke drifting up And the pictures come filtering through, There's none can compare with the one over there The Best Pal of All of Them you! "Oh Where, Oh Where, Is My Little Dog, "Bowser" Gone?" With tho hunting season going on in full swing, tho baggage men of many of the trains running out of this place, are having their troubles. Every train carries Its share of hunters' dogs huddled up in one end of tho baggage cars, long, lean, lanky hounds yelping and snap Ping. And back in the coach lounges tho nlmrod, dreaming of tho happy sport before him, while up in the baggage car tho baggagemaster Is valiantly wrestling with a score of dogs forever fighting. On account of his trouhlo somo of the railroads have allowed tho men in charge of tho haggago cars to re tain ten cents on each dog for every ten miles or less. For from ten to sixty miles he annexes fifteen cents, and for all distances of sixty miles or over, a rate of one-fourth of a cent Is charged after tho fifteen cents, for tho first sixty miles has been collected. Mr. Fuller on the Divining Rod. In speaking of tho divining rod Mr. Fuller, of the United States Geological Survey, says: "No appli ance, either mechanical or electri cal, has yet been devised that will detect water In piacos whero plain common sense will not show its presence just as well. Tho useless ness of tho divining rod Is indicated by the facts that it may bo worked at will by the operator, that ho falls to detect strong water currents in tunnels and other frco courses that afford no surface Indications of water, nnd that his locations In re gions whore water flows in woll-do-flned channels aro no moro success ful than mero guesses. In fact, its operators are successful only in re gions whero ground water occurs In a doflnlto sheet in porous material. In such regions few failures to find water can occur, for wellB can get water almost anywhere." "THE HOWERV, THE BOWERY WE'LL XKlHll (it) THERE ANY MORE!" Millinery Run Still Doing Business Tho Glory of Dear Uld China town Fust Disappearing Tho lionet y Quiet As n Country Lane. We were asked not long ago, If we would llko to take a walk through tho "Bowory?" Tho lady who gave tho Invitation had an er rand down there. Tho night was so beautiful we decided to walk part of tho way. We took tho Second Ave nue Elevntcd at Houston street. Down there wo found tho famous "Llttlo Hungary," which has for years been ono of tho popular eating places In New i one. Everythlng Is Hungarian, but they play tho "Star Spangled Bnnnor" with as much en thusiasm as tho Americans, and their souvenirs rend "Long Live America." Down in this section Is "Millinery Run," of which we hnd often heard, and about which wo had beon told tho women In charge would grab peoplo by the arm, and drag them In to buy a hat. This we doubted, hut "seeing Is believing." These places arc all kept by foreigners, who sit or stand outBldo looking for buyers. As n policeman was in sight all the time, wo only had ono invitation, which wo did not accept. But even hero ono notices Improvement and progress. Tho old snanties are fast being removed, and neat looking stores aro taking their places. Broom street and all through tho Bowery, was as quiet as a country lane, all the gaiety having moved up town. In fact tho only thing we saw of Interest was tho display of diamonds in the various pawn shops. Chinatown seemed asleep. Another evening wo walked from Tenth street up Broadway to Twenty-third and it cortainly was worth while. The night was perfect, and It seem ed the moon and electric display were vying with each other. Wo passed Union Square, which was at one tlmo ono of the gayest parts of the city, when the Tenderloin was in the best days, and tho Academy of Music was one of the foremost thea tres. This now has a stock company and Is comparatively forgottoh In the many new theatres up town. Tho "City Theatre," which opened last winter In this vicinity, is popular and very reasonable. Just at present tho "Horse Show" Is on, and all the window decora tions have that In view. CHARGE MINISTER LIBELED TEXER Secretary to Governor-Elect Ilns Rev. William L. Barrett, of Blairsvllle, Arrested. Indiana, Pa., Nov. 21. Rev. Wil liam L. Barrett, pastor of the Pres byterian church at Blairsvllle, was arrested on a charge of libel at his home in that place this afternoon on Information made by Walter H. Gaither, private secretary of Governor-elect John K. Tener. Mr. Barrett waived a hearing and gave bond in tho sum of $500 for his appearance here at the December term of court. The arrest was tho result Df a ser mon delivered by Mr. Barrett dur ing the campaign in which he Is al leged to have mado a libelous state ment regarding Mr. Tener s charac- 'ter. The sermon containing tho ob jectionable matter was later publish ed in the Blairsvillo Courier. Mr. uaitner visited Blairsvllle a week ago and requested a written retraction of tho statement from both the minister and the editor. Mr. Barrett declined to retract, hut Charles Kerler, Jr., editor of the Courier, made a complete retraction. saying that he believed the state ment was false. Mr. Gaither and Attorney David Martin McCloskey, of Charlerol, legal adviser for Mr. Tener, came to Indiana today and mado information against Mr. Bar rett before 'Squire James A. Cross- man. A warrant was Issued and Con stable Robert Kerr went to Blairs vllle this afternoon and made the arrest. The Information charges "that on or about the 24th day of uctouer tho said W. L. Barrett mali ciously and negligently wrote, pub- llsiied and exhibited the following defamatory words or libel referring to John K. Tener, nnd thereby ex posing him to public hatred, con tempt and ridicule: " 'One of tho most promlnont ministers of this Presbytery, a pas tor of a church of nearly six hun dred members, saw this man assist ed to his room In a hotel In a state of Intoxication, nnd the next morn ing it took two men to assist him to tho railroad.' " WHY WOMEN MARRY. Don't Go Out to Work Because They Like it, Says Suffragette. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 18. "Woman should bo able to voto, in order to protect her own sex industrially," declared Miss Maudo Younger of San Frnnclsco boforo tho American Federation ot Labor lato this after noon. The statement was greeted with enthusiasm by the delegates. Miss Younger is connected with tho San Francisco Wago-Earners' Suffragette convention and is an au thor. Her address was one of the. most Important features of tho day s cession, the other being tho address of Gov. liadley, in which he urged that one-third of tho judges and one-half of the lawyers ot the coun try wero unnecessary to the best welfare of its people. Tho working committees ot tho convention were orgnnlzod during tho day and will begin regular ses sions, tomorrow. Twenty or moro resolutions and reports wero referr ed to them by President Gotnpcrs during the afternoon session. Miss Younger was presented to tho convention by President Gomp ers after ho. had completed the reading of his annual report, and her appearanco on tho platform was tho signal for enthusiasm. "Malo wage-earners havo two methods of improving their condi tions," sho said; "by unionizing and by the ballot. Women wngo-earn ers havo but tho ono mean's by forming unions.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS IN ITS EARLY STAGES. 'rlo Physicians on tho Subject: Frequent Recovery Symptoms That Should bo Known to All Par ents of Young Children. The Erlo DIsnntch has tho follow- ing article concerning lnfnntllo par alysls, which because of its presence and Its mystery has caused great uneasiness among parents: Tho medical fraternity through out the country Is laboring to flnd a cure for tho disease. Its first np penrnnco was reported In 1840, yet the disease did not become alarming until quito recently, although every year has shown on incrcaso In tho number of cases. With regard to Erlo, Dr. Wright says: "If your child has Infantile partly sis, don't despair. There are on rec ord many cases of recovery, even from total paralysis. Four of tho five cases reported in this city have been cured. "It your child is crippled, do not allow him to think that his case Is hopeless. Drill It Into him that he is going to get bettor. That will help most of all. "If a child has symptoms of la grippe, call a physician at once. If tho child suddenly falls at play anu then complains of pain in the back and shows a slight fever, call a phy sician. You cannot afford to lost any valuable time. Doctors do not know for a certainty whether the germ of the disease is bred in dirt, but bo on the safe side and keep your premises absolutely clean. A medical expert in Cleveland has announced to the public tho follow ing: "Infantile paralysis Is communi cated to the human system through the membrane of the nose arid throat, and it is in kissing and drinking that the greatest danger lies. Don't permit your children to drink from public drinking cups Don't permit your children to be kissed by playmates or strangers or friends, and restrain your relatives. Use peroxide of hydrogen continual ly as a nasal spray and throat wash." So far as has been discovered, the germ of infnntlle paralysis enters tho system through the mouth or nose. It is thought to be both In fectious and contagious. The germ makes its way through the spinal column, eating away the tissues of the nerves. This Is the early pro cess of the disease during which time the patient suffers Intense pain. No victim has been known to have been attacked a second time, but It Is thought that persons who have re covered can communicate tho dis ease to others. Erlo R. R. Holds Record For Through Freight Trains. A factor which has been largely Instrumental In building up tho ton nage of the Erie is tho promptness of its through freight service at the present time. It ib claimed that the company today makes better time on its through freight from Chicago to New York than any other line operating between those two centres. The average number of loaded cars hauled by the company on its through freight business between Chicago and New York Is said to be from 40 to 45, and during tho past threo months over 00 of such trains have reported In New York on schedule tlmo. It should be stated that many of tho company's trains handling heavy freight contain as high as 100 loaded and empty cars. A factor which has contributed liberally toward producing tho ex cellent operating results that are now being shown by tho Erie is the com pletion of the Bergen Cut, so that two of the company's tracks In Jer sey City may be used exclusively by freight trains. Owing to this fact, there Is hardly ever any delay caused In freight reaching Its destination as a result of congestion of passenger and freight trains having to enter tho Jersey terminal over tho same tracks. It Is stated that at least 30 is saved In the cost of handling freight alone with tho added facili ties now available. According to those In a position to speak with authority, tho outlook for the Erlo Is favorable from tho view point of earnings and It is confident ly expected that the company will enjoy a liberal volume of tonnago during tho coming winter. Should this be tho case, it Is an absolute cer tainty that tho road will be in good condition physically to tako caro of It in an expeditious and economical manner. Financial America.
