THE VlItTUK OF GRATITUDE.
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.

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

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

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.
Don't place on the road any ditch
washings or other similar wornout
material.
Don't lntorfero with supervisors
in keeping ditches open on both
sides ot the road, as the Interests
of the roadway demand that drain
age bo maintained on both sides.
