The next thing In order is the Christ- mas trade and it can be done in the most orderly way if buyers give their attention to business early and shop continuously for the next month. It is the early advertiser who at- tracts desirable and discriminating trade and it is the early trader who gets first choice of fine goods. We all know that the goods now on the shelves are clean and undisturbed. A month from today they will have been overhauled and mussed and the best selections will have been made. Three weeks from today the shops will be thronged, clerks will be tired out, ev- erything will be topsy-turvy, and the shopper will have to fight for a chance to buy something he has no time to examine, and he will have no time to eompare values of goods offered in va- rlous places. Quiet shopping is always the most pleasing and satisfying. The rush sea- %on is always trying to the patience and temper of both patrons and clerks. The Christmas season is not made merry for everybody, but it can be very much Improved if these who shop will move early and take away tie £00ds which they, now have time to ex- amine at their leisure. A BOLD PROPOSITION. A Massachusetts editor has ventured to suggest that.the observance of Thanksgiving be held the last Satur- day in November, instead of the last Thursday, that it may be followed by a day of rest instead of a day of ac- tivity, which would Increase rather than diminish the pleasures of the fes- tival by prolonging visitations and taking out of it the hurry and scurry which under present conditions marks the return to business. Personal con- venience might be the better met by the proposed change, but a custom that has been kept up for nearly three centuries is hard to change—it is not easy to depart from the customs of the fathers, as {s witnessed in the endeavor to advance the date of In- anguration day from bleak and windy March to balmy April, This new plan is likely to find favor with the few, but the people become so easily wedded to old ways that they are prejudiced against new inno- wvations, whatever may be said in fa- vor of them. To the schools and to many businesses, Thanksgiving as cel- ebrated today means a four days' vag tion—studies and business are not resumed until the following Monday. These pupils and workmen would hardly be willing to glve up a half week’s visjtation and recreation for two days, which would mean so much less to them. The change suggested is mot likely to be brought about right away. THE LORDS OF THE LAND. The horny-handed farmer in his blus jeans and rawhide boots represents both the energy and the wealth of the nation. Collectively he comes very near being the whole republic. Count- ed he is one of 30,000,000 who work six million farms, worth all equipped $30,- AN EVIDENCE PARCELS POST WOULD PAY. The dividends paid by the express companies of the United States furnish evidence that the, ~government an greatly relieve and accommodate the mm: as well as reduce the department deficit by the establish- ment of a parcels post. It is alleged that these companies are now carry- ing 100,000,000 packages of merchan- dise and 20,000,000 packages of money each year. The statement is made that the Ad- ams earns 22 per cent., the American 19 per cent., Wells-Fargo §8 per cent. and other companies in proportion. If more evidénce of high express rates is nmeeded, it might be stated that the ‘Wells-Fargo has been paying 10 per cent. on stock, yet it declared an extra dividend of $300 a share, or enough to pay 6 per cent. on capital stock for fifty years, and all this profit has been accumulated in a short period of time. Concerning the - Wells-Fargo com- pany, the Milwaukee Journal say: “The declaration of a $300 cash div- idend by the Wells-Fargo company and the increase of the stock from $8,000,000 to $24,000,000, the new stock to b¢ issued at par to old stockhold- ers, means the cutting of one of the most juicy and gigantic melons. value of the ‘hand out’ s expressed not only in the $300 cash bonanza, but each share of the old stock is now worth about $56 “With $8,000,000 of capital the com- pany has earned nearly $5,000,000 a vear net or §8.3 per cent. Gross earn- ings of more than $25,000,000 a year are equivalent to an annual income triple the size of capital. Even with these enormous earnings, the company has repeatedly threatehed in Tllinois and elsewhere to raise its rates when they were already absurdly exorbi- tant.” AN EXPERIMENT. The Erie road has decided to have a fresh-alr car on every train, with open ventilators and windows, to meet the requirements of travelers who be- lieve in the wholesomeness of fresh air; and those who like warm and close cars—who are afraid of draughts —have the remainder of the train to themselves. It must be admitted that travelers who believe fresh air is necessary for their well-being are as entitled to a car by themselves as travelers ad- dicted to smoking or playing cards, and will appreciate the favor as much. The problem will be how to keep the two classes separate—to have each enjoy the privileges open to them unm- der the new rule: Passengers who complain of conditions are often siow to accept better conditions if to do so they are required to change cars— they seem to prefer to stay and kick rather than to move and rejoice in more acceptable conditions.

Prosperity is getting ready to stop and spread itself, and nothing on earth is likely to stop it Great Britain must feel lonely when she finds that there is not a threaten- ing cloud in the sky.

A western minister, intent upon booming the matrimonial market, an- nounces that he will perform mar- riages at $1 each. It is not strange that President Taft persisted in taking a walk before he attacked the Vose turkey, for it was worth making room for. Attention is being called to the fact that croquet has never caused any fatalities.

Pope's “whatever is is right” fits nature much better than it does the conduct or achievemerts of men. This Tndian summer of 1909 which excites both wonder and comment is only a repetition of other Indian summers, Droduced shirtsleeve weather for New Year's day. The open-window Thanks- giving, the green Christmas and the shirtsleeve New_ Year's are offset by the Fourth of July when it snowed. These conditions seem to appear at irregular intervals, but the probability is that they are more regular than we think—just as in alternating periods of five years we have either three wet to two ‘dry years, or three dry to two wet years. We do not make the notes of time and climatic conditions to gen- erally know these things. One of the ablest writers it was ever my ot to know said to me in my boy- hood: “Be on the lookout for ideas in this world, for every idea is worth a dollar; and you are as likely to find them among workaday people as among the learned.” I had up to that time never thought of ideas as treas- ures, or that there was money in them. I took the cue and have since learned that there is more than dollars in ideas, for there is mastery and achievement. Some men who have ideas do not know their worth, and they drop them as they would any old worthless scraps; and other men just drop them into memory and treasure them and use them for the good of others as well as for the good of themselves. “Be on the lookout for ideas—every idea is worth a dol- lar!” Do not forget it and you will have treasures later on which dollars cannot buy. The unreasonableness of some men In their anticipations is past fathom- ing. Not a few have really expected St. Peter to pass them through the pearly gates because they once naid 10 cents for a 15 cent supper at a church social. This is as pious as they ever become, and they think there is merit in it—aye, they count it as saving grace. This is because men have the po ver to put their own es- timate upon their doings, and to hal- lucinate themselves with trifling con- ceits. There are people who would not care to feast in Paradise if they were not to have napkins and finger bowls; and others say they have no use for heaven if oid Jed Prouty is going there. We're queer folks, and it is not surprising that only the Lord can fathom our folly. for it is too deep for the human inteilect to sound, No doubt many children have this year pulled the turkey's wishbone for luck. From the uses made of this arched bone of fowl it came to be known first as the pulling bone, and later as the “merry thought.” There has been a great deal of fun gotten out of it. Here, at the north, the one who holds the longest piece will have his or her wish; but in_the south it Is pulled to settle which of the young people In a party will be first married—the girl holding the shortest plece places it over a door and the first marriageable man who passes beneath it is to be the future husband of the owner. There was never a tur- key who would admit that such a use of the bone was a _“merry thought”; but many a party of young girls have ever since the early pioneer days had merry times over the divinations of this pulling-bone, which as an omen of good luck has been gilded and at- tached to Christmas presents. There was a time when most every- one wore a plug hat, and no one knew | its helght. It was an_ everyday hat then, and a fine suit of broadcloth was not considered necessary to go with it. The silk hat was the thing, and it was often the only source of amusement. A silk hat was a popular election bet and when a lot of young men got to- gether they had lots of fun betting on the height of the hat, and no one ever did chalk it exactly. Thousands of dimes have paissed in this little diver. sion of marking the height of a silk hat, and while they were thought to | be from a foot to a foot and a quarter | the standard height was just| The | asj Tow an overworked organ as the heart was ¢ “Mr. Wallaby,” sald Wallaby's superior half as she m an extra in her battery of chins, “I want to is | with you for a few moments on a never saw you om parents’ roof In my ‘22. sald vinuu‘:‘.g with perity. . more _t you owed any inclination to to the roof 'hen you saw me coming.

The cheerful heart has made the most enduring fame, but the head is the memorialist. SUNDAY MORNING TALK WEAKNESS MADE STRONG. In common with many other persons in all parts of this land I have been reading in a popul,~ magazine suc- cessive installments of the frank re- cital by Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Den- ver, Col, of the way in which his ef forts to protect and save the young life of that city have been opposed and thwarted. It is the plain, out- spoken and apparently indisputable record of the machinations of politi- cians, the venality of state legislators, the corruption and malfeasance of city officials and the devious doings of great public service corporations, as they have sought; year after year, to profit through franchises and other special privileges at the expense of the people, We have had in recent years many fearless exposures of the shame and rottenness of great cities, but no revelations hitherto made sur- pass those of Judge Lindsey in what they disclose of the seamy side of American municipal life. OUT OF But Denver is not the worst city in the union. Nor are those who have enriched themselves the through graft and other devices known to the cunning and unscrupulous, the mean- est men in the world. They tried to quiet the remnants of their conscience by saying, “Oh, everybody does more or less of this sort of thing.” And while their crimes are not to be con- doned, the general apathy of the cit- izens is quite as inexcusable. For American communities can have just as good municipal government as they want to have. In no city do thieves and the sharks outnumber the decent people or begin to approach them in number or caliber. The trouble lies in the lack of cour- age on the part of the average citi- zen. And just at this point Judge Lindsey becomes a striking object les- son. What has most impressed me in reading his articles is not so much the vast good he has already accom- plished as the fact that Denver owes its civic awakening to just this pe- culiar type of man. For what was he at the beginning? A timid, shrinking boy, obliged to make his own way, & lawyer's clerk for a time, and, when admitted to the bar, not in any way 2 commanding figure. Even when he entered politics he was unschooled in the arts and schemes that are the stock in trade of the average bo “ward heeler.,” But one da saw Theodore Roosevelt face a mat. hostile, sullen throng of men in a Den- ver auditorlum and heard him chal- lenge their political views by his open- ing sentence, “We are for the gold standard.” From that moment Lind- sey has the courage of a lion. It is no discredit to you, my friend, if you feel weak and inadequate to vour task. But it Is to your discredit if you do mot aspire for greater strength and expect to get it. Some of the greatest heroes of history, Moses, Isaiah, Paul, shrank from the tasks devolved upon them. But the command had come to them and in due season they girded themselves and went bravely forward. My word to timid people today is, “Do not underrate your capacities.” My message is not now to those who rush in where angels fear to tread, but to the far larger number who draw back where men—not angels— ought to tread. The very fact that a plain duty is laid upon you in the state, the church, the neighborhood, the home, is primary evidence that you are able to accomplish it. And if you | go forward trusting in yourself and your God, you will be able to say that I heard a modest but courageous mother of a large family once say, “I has done what I thought I couldn’t.

Joe Weber, whose burlesque of “The Merry Widow and The Devil” is now on tour, is a dapper little man, who has such small feet that he has to wear ladies’ shoes. Another conspicu- ous feature of Mr. Weber's permanent r.ake-up Is the thespian appearance of his slightly gray locks.

Why Sour Milk? ‘The Storrs experiment station issues bulletin No. 68 for the purpose of proving that sour milk is a more di- gestible and healthful food than sweet mill. The writer succeeds admirably. ‘What he fails to prove is that sour milk tastes as good as sweet milk. Perhaps the taste could be acquired by anyone who cared to work hard at it, but most of us have just acquired with infinite pains a taste for olives, and ars not ready yet for any further heroism. Prof. Metchnihoff has been quoted as saying that anyone who cared to live exclusively on sour milk could easily live to be one hundred, but why should anyone want to live to be one hundred in order to live on an exclu- sive diet of sour milk?

That the Maine woods still yleld the greatest supply of lumber on the east- ern side of the continent, s indlcated in a report by the Lewiston Journal, which figures that about 130,000,000 feet of logs have come down the Pe- nobscot and its tributaries this sea- includes 9,000,000 feet which was cut last year, but, even with this deduction, the net amount is vastly greater than that of any previous season within recent years.
