By the aid of chains, a small bit of perseverence, and no doubt a mild and even temperament he succeeded in landing the car on safe and sound terra firma and came on his way rejoicing with no bad effects ex cept an injured eye, received by some flying missle that acidentally came his way. Where Jim gets in bad with a car the other fellow might never get out. , A If any of the readers ot tb Journal know or any social event or item of iiitrr-st i this vicinity, and will man same to this office, it will ao pear under this Leading.

It would be impossible for presi dent or governor to write a joyous Thanksgiving Day proclamation, as it is impossible for anyone to look for ward to the day as one to be observed with lightness of heart. This is ruot because we have been "-Leu wuh famine or nestilencp or "'"iVKab e riisnsror Tkn , 1.,,. n tie ntid;?j it is true hag been of than usual miQ:.. u... , . 1-nuiJ, uui us vaiue nas been more than usual. For a larei part of the people the time is nn extraordinary prosperity. It is not because the past year has not been rich in blessings to us as a people, but it is because, as the president says, "the whole face of the world has been darkened by war." The president had not written ten lines of his proclamation before that awful thought had to be expressed.! We could not have a joyous Thanks giving in 1914. VVe hoped the strug gle would be ended in another year, but it was the same in 1915. Then we did rather expect that the exhausting conflict could not last much longer, but here the last. Thursday of Novem ber in 1910 is at hand, and we are still under the pall of the direst visi tation that ever has fell upon human ity, and are less bold to predict, even indefinitely, when the end will corre. Some students of the catastrophe are telling us that it may not be half over. We cannot be glad under such ter rifying and dismaying circumstances as these, with a constant danger that ve 'Uirselves may yet be drawn into the whirlwind of fire and blood. We are indeed grateful to Divine Provi dence that ;n the ordering of the af fairs of this world we have been spared the manifold curses of war, but our gratitude, is exceedingly solemn. It is with fear and tremb ling. We beware of feeling that we are a people chosen of fortune or of Providence, or of deceiving ourselves with a sense of security founded on sentiment of self-righteousness. We hear the old voice, "Bring forth, there fore, fruits worthy of repentence," and fancy it paraphrased into, "Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of gratitude." We do not need the suggestion of the president as to how to do that, though he has expressed what the hearts of all must dictate. We do in deed know that it is our duty in this, a day of peace and abundance, "to think in deep sympathy of the stricken peoples of the world upon whom the curse and terror of war have so piti lessly fallen and to contribute out of our abundant means to the relief of their sufferings." That is the only way to make a proper Thanksgiving Day out of it. e can t observe it aright with a gratitude that is subjective and selfish Thanksgiving Day is an American in stitution, but for once, at least, our eyes must be on other lands rather than our own, our hearts must be at other tables rather than our own.
