THANKSGIVING 1924.
The whole world is beginning
to emerge from the smoke and
wreckage of the Grdat War, a
more hopeful spirit is pervading
all nations, the world is growing
better with signs of health and
peace and prosperity, and these
are grounds for thanksgiving on
fhe part of $11 peoples,
This general outlook’ upon the
world is one cause why we should
join in thanksgiving unto the God
of nations that in His goodness
is leading the great human fam
Jly to become increasingly con
scious of its common life and
needs and is rolling it through
the shadow of the globe into a
bet t er da y .--- —
The year has been one of un
measured prosperity and goodness.
The hnrvests have reaped bound
less fields of golden grain and
our hams are full.
Employment has been general
business has run at full tide.
Peace has prevailed throughout
all our borders, and no pestilence
or great calamity has befallen us.
It is of these material condi
tions and goods that we first
think in connection with this day
as it was originally observed with
these things in view. t
But there are deeper grounds
for thanksgiving in the social and
moral and spiritual life of our
people.
It need not be said that there
ore wide shadows of evil and
some very black spots in our na
tional life, but these are mostly
such as are common to men.
Really, America is sound to the
core on the essentials of integ
rity and truth in our civil and
moral life.
There is no cleaner spot or
more decent people on earth, and
this is something to be thank
ful for, however much we have of
which to be ashamed.
PERILOUS HUNTING
Matching wits with a rabbit
aounds like small stuff to the
hunters of big game.
Men who have hunted lions and
tigers scoff at the throng of in
trepid gunners who go forth in
the civilized rural sections to bag
rabbits and squirrels.
'ffe lover bf animals who be
lieves that all killing for sport
is wrong, or at worst, foolish,
have much to say about the un
fairness of hunting in which all
the risk is on the side of the
frightened animals and birds.
Current statistics show another
side to the hunting season.
Hunters themselves experience
many perils.
In the state of Ohio for exam
Pie. the nuhiber of hunters kill
ed in the brief open season, in :mv
year, is said to exceed the num
ber of white hunters killed by
wild beasts of all kinds in any
equal area in Africa in a full
year.
Other states have their bad rec
ords.
Perhaps it is a sort of divine
aatice that hunters of such help-
less and harmless creatures as
small (rame animals and birds
should themselves meet Injury or
death while hunting.
Hunters kill themselves and one
another in .all sorts of accidents.
Guns are set off by tangled
brush or careless handling.
One hunter, moving slowly
through the woods, is mistaken
for game by another.
H>e result is an .appalling num
ber of deaths.
This needless waste of human
life hardly furnishes an attrac
tive additional element to the du
bious sport of killing the little
creatures of the woods.
Don’t be distressed because a
New York man has invented a
self-playing saxophone. Now you
can stop the blamed thing without
committing murder.
It’s ail right about Prof. Ein
steiirsat last. Capt. See of the
U. S. Navy has proved him all
wrong, and now we don’t have to
understand him.
Advice to jumpy hunters: Don’t
shoot until you can see the whites
of their eyes.
Fortunately for most of us, it
takes all kinds of people to make
a public.
A London lawyer, examining a
Lanarkshire farmer, said; "You’ll
affirm that when this happened
Vou were going home to a meal.
Let us be quite certain on this
point, because it is a very impor
tant one, and be good enough to
tell me, sir, with as little prevari
cation as possible, what meal it
was you were going home to.”
a You would like to know what
meal it was?" said the Scotsman.
Yes, s ir, I s hould like to
know,” replied the counsel, stern
ly and impressively, “and be sure
you tell the truth*
Well, then,” said the Scotsman,
"it was just oatmeal;”
The young man and the girl
were standing outside the front
door having a final chat before
be took his leave. He was lean
ing against the door post, talking
in low tones. Presently the young
lady looked round to discover her
father in the doorway clad in a
dressing gown.
“Why, father, what in the world
is the matter?” she inquired.
i. John,” said the father, address
ing himself to the young man,
“you know I have never complain
ed about your staying late, and I
am not going to complain of that
now; but for goodness sake stop
leaning against the bell -push and
let the rest of the family get
some sleep. >»
Some one asked Professor
Steinach of Vienna (whose rejuvi
nation experiments are more or
less, well known) if there wasn’t
considerable danger in the pro
cess.
Of course, the thing can be
overdone," he replied with a smile.
.. I am told that n woman met a
friend of hers on ie
wheeling a perambulator in which
sat a chubby infant.”

baby,’ said the first woman fn
