HE household year, like the year of tho nation, has its red-letter days and its Joy ous anniversaries. Around Thanksgiving the sweetest associations of the home and the tenderest memo ries of the nation meet and cluster. Do you ever stop to think how new this country is? Should you go to Rome you would find more old walls and monuments and buildings that have been standing for centuries, and ttill testify to the past splendor of the once imperial city. Crossing the At lantic and setting foot on the shores of England, the past greets you on every hand. You are immediately made aware that our friends across the water are living among old tradl tlons, while in their ceremonials, as when a king was crowned with his queen at his side, they are keeping up the customs and recalling the gran deur that have been theirs for a thou sand years. Overlrere, in comparison with other nations on the globs, we are still in our childhood and can hardly be said to have, more than reached the begin ning of our maturity. Yet we have eight million people, and we Jostle when we walk on the street people who have sought us from the far east, from the islands of the ocean, from northern and southern Europe, and. Indeed, from everywhere beneath the sun. To my, mind there is something wonderful and significant and heart stirring in the thought that a man of our choice in Washington In the White House presides as our chief ex ecutive over our vast territory and our mighty mass of citizens. He sends out word in November, and lo! tho whole commonwealth listens and obeys. By one consent Americans, native-born and adopted into our ranks from abroad, cease from busi ness, observe a holiday and thank God on the last Thursday of Novem ber. Everyone does not go to church, but the churches are open. There are services, there is exquisite music and eloquent sermons are preached, and the nation is thus up lifted to a higher plane, and there is an obvious reminder that we owe thanks to our Creator and praise to our Father In heaven. Another charming feature of this peculiarly popular and wholly Amer ican holiday is the assembling of fam ilies around the Thanksgiving dinner table. Again look back, not over a thousand years, but over very nearly three hundred, and you wil! see how significant was the origin of this annual Jubilee. In 1621 Governor' BradfQrd of Massachusetts issued a proclamation to tho little colony set ting apart a day of Thanksgiving for the first in-gathering* harvests. Should you ever go to Plymouth, Mass., and stroll through the old graveyard there, tears would spring to your eyes even now when you saw by the records on tne stones that Death was very busy In reaping the first harvest of life in New England. These hardy pioneers who came to our bleak Atlantic coast that they might have freedom to wor ship God as they chose, were made of ■tuff too strong to be daunted by illness, want, famine or death. The attacks of hostile Indians in the night did not turn them from their purpose of settling in tjie new country, and women and men alike were heroic in their scorn of peril and their determin ation to snatch success from apparent defeat The first harvest was scanty, but they assembled In church and thanked God for it, and in their homes they sat down to the best dinner they could provide. The wild turkey fur nished the meat (or the feast. This KEEPING DOWN HUMAN SUPPLY For some time the doctors hare been skirmishing about the idea of creating life artificially, Life remarks. The latest reports from Europe in dicate that this is now an assured fact and the manafacture of life will doubtlesß soon be placed upon a com mercial basis. We cannot but regard thla as a great calamity. The tariff, the in crease in gold and many other causes American bird is always the piece de resistance at a Thanksgiving din ner. The domestic bird retains some traits of primitive wildness and, as every farmer's wife knows, is prone to wander away, and travels, by pref erence. in a flock. Still looking back, .we discover that after 1621 other colonies followed the example of Massachusetts. After the Revolution the governors of various sta' l issued proclamations aB Gov ernor Bradford had done. But it was not until 1863 that tho day became na tional. It was then that the president proclaimed a general thanksgiving, and this good custom has been fol lowed until the present year. Tho old homestead is the rallying rlace for its sons and daughters. If they have been scattered far afield In pursuit of business or pleasure. They make an efTort to return to the loved ones therfr and no triumph of a Paris ian chef or art of the finest cookery has quite the taste of mother's putnp- I kin pie. Thanksgiving dinners may bo eaten in hotels and boarding houses and on shipboard by enthusi astic Americans, and In city homes where cousins, aunts and uncles shake hands and Bit together at the meal, but they are best when they are given beneath the roof where oncq the chil dren played. In comparlaon with that first har vest and that first Thanksgiving, let us glance, Bhall we say, at the inar | kets of America in 1911. Fruits have been gathered from the orchards of Oregon. Michigan, California, Connec ticut, Florida, and from too many lo calities and states for enumeration here. Think of the peaches, grapes, apples, plums, cherries, pears, or anges and bananas that the great country produces. We are learning how to assist nature by scientific proc esses in farming so that annually our orchards and vineyards are compet lng with our mines of coal, silver and | Home Influence Upon Child i Thought From Jane Addams Which Demonstrates Its Lasting Effect Is Worth Consideration. A mother croons an old tlmo pong as she toils. A father speaks kindly as home from work he crosses the threshold which leads to wife and rest | from labor. The clUld —the stepping j ctone between mother and father, the | connecting link —hears both so;:g and j gentle word. .The father, still toil stained, wheth j er he comes from field or shop, stoops j to kiss the mother, also toil stained. He speaks softly, mayhap: "Howdy, sweetheart; glad to be j home again." She turns a sweat-marked face up j to his, In farmhouse or tenement, and answers: • "I'm glad to have you home." Of all this the child Is the witness. Things of the world are yet new and strange to it Mysteries still confront it. Guiding stars it Is searching for, and 10. In the *ery greetings of mother and father, In their own loving atti tude toward each other, this unde veloped life finds a star. Such is the Influence of environ ment of two personalities—that of father and mother —upon the ques tioning child, blood of their blood and have been assigned. The real cause, however, is that there are too many people. There Is an overproduction In human beings. Until we can cut this down we shall be Increasingly embarrassed by the cost of living. Instead of adding to the possibility of creating life, therefore, wfc should seek some means to curtail it. Be sides, everybody that is born now wants to be of some consequence! copper as sources of wealth. Our grains, wheat, oats, rye, rlco and In dian corn yield us enough to feed our own people and replenish the exhaus tion of other lands. When the crops aro abundant there Is rejoicing from coast to coast. The farmers have many things to contend with. Some- | times there is a plague of grasshop- j pers or of locusts, sometimes there is J drought, and again there are floods, j but, on the whole, from year's end to year's end, the soil gives back in Di vine multiplication the seed which the human hand has sown. We cannot sit down at the simplest Thanksgiving din ner without seeing upon it contribu tions from every section of our big re- j public. As women and girls are the true J honiemakers, it la well for them to take a sincere and Intelligent inter est affairs of their countnr. Men seldom rise higher in goodness, frank ness and patriotism than the women whose Influence over 1 them tends to purity, bravery and truth. We ought to care about the politics of our coun try. When we thank God for peace, WJ ought to be additionally grateful that the menace of war has been swept out of sight by the wise lead ership in our councils of state. When we thank God for schools and for free dom of speech and an untrammeled press and good books that are as plentiful as autumn leaves, we should again remhid ourselves and the chil dren around us that we owe these tokens of advanced civilization to our republican government and to the J goodness and guardian care of Je hovah, who ha 3 given us "dominion ovev palm and pine." Another word may be in order. Why should we compress our Thanks giving Into one day? Why not be thankful all the time for the little things as for the great ones, and most of all for the dear ones of hearth and home? * : flesh of their flesh.

In the earlier part of the nineteenth century many even of those who had j been up Alpine peaks themselves de nounced the sport. Regarding the as- I cent of Mount Blanc, Murray's Hand book In the year 1838 stated that "all who hare succeeded hare advised no one to attempt It," and nearly 20 , Vears later noted the "remarkable j fact that a large proportion of those who have made this ascent have been persons of unsound mind."
