"Don't watch tho clock," was Mr.
Edison's advice to a young man who
recently asked him how to succeed.
Profoundly significant is that old Joke
about the laborer who left his pickax

emblen for a confirmed clock-watcher
and the pickax hangs always in tho
air, never digs out a path for him to

has sat forty-four years In tho house
of lords and received his training as a
parliamentarian In tho house of com

ago as a young man of 22. Tho earl,
who is activo in spite of his great ago,
has been for somo years tho oldest of
tho Knights of tho Garter, which dec
oration ho received from Lord Palmer
ston early in tho '60s, and ho Is also
In years tho oldest knight companion,

When Is a cigarette not a cigarette?
When It Is a pipe. . Tho answer to tho
conundrum ' was given by English
magistrates. Tho taking of a tobacco
pipe Into a certain mine was prohib
ited. A partly smoked cigarette was
found In a workman's pocket. The
man was arraigned and fined. Tho
judges held that a paper charged with
tobacco was a pipe within the mean
ing of tho rule. It was an Instance o(f
applied common sense. Human life
is of moro valuo than literal construc
tion. Tho potty court was meroly il
lustrating a working principle observ
ed in tribunals ot a moro. august or
ganization and a larger jurisdiction.
Tho Amorlcun boy la ahead of the
English boy, In tho Judgmont of Sir
Thomas Ltpton, because ho gets abet
ter chance to show what is In him. In
America tho managers of largo con-j
coruB aro often very youthful. In Eng
land their youth would be a disqualifi
cation, since thcro a man must look old
beforo ho Is thought to look wlso, Sir
Thomas believes that to bo "a great
error of policy In tho affairs ot n na
tion, a business firm or a family." He
himself enmo to this 'country when ho
was fifteen years old. He declares his
oxpcrlenco here "tho bent commercial
training I ever had," and holds that "It
would uo good thing to send every
English hey to America when ho 1b
seventeen, and to keep him there for
a couplo of years." This Is generous
and even flattering to us, but Sir
Thomas' countrymen may find a Haw
in tho argument, reasoning from their
point ot viow thnt after tho English
boy had been hero two years they
might not bo nblo to get htm back.

in their homo at Downey, twelve miles
from Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. All tho

Wilcox and his family had been shot

Tho crime was discovered when n

SENTENCED TO DEATH
An fimirffrnt Mnjor Orriorpil lU.IHpnnUli
I'rltmirr Mnnmirrril.
'tlw records of a score or more of
court martial trials of Filipinos
charged with murder iiiitfotlict crimes,
have lieen received at the wnr depart
ment of the Philippines. Probably
the most interesting enso Is Fran
cisco Ilnigaii7.li, major in the insurgent
army, who ordered the massacre of 103
Spanish prisoners In Fobrunry of 1000
mid who now has lieon sentenced to
death for his crime.
General ChnlTco made nit unusually
long review of this ense, characteriz
ing thu wholesale destruction of life
as "the most barbarous and revolting
massacre of helpless prisoners known
to the modern history of war. He
calls attention to tho fact that the
chiefs of tho Insurrection did their ut
most to prevent the United States from
fulfllllpg Its obligation to employ its
best efforts to return the Spanish pris
oners in the hands of the Filipinos to
Spain. It was Umiii the approach of a
detachment of American troops that
this Filipino ollieei' tirdered tho mas
sacre of the helpless Spaniards in his
charge. "In what manner this cruel
policy could serve the cause of the In
surrection," says General Chaffee "pass
es ortllunry comprehension."
The records give ull .details of the
horrors of'tho killings.
ANOTHER LETTER.
Ml Htnne Write From Ilrr CantlT

A Sofia, Bulgaria, dispatch says:
Another letter has been received from
Miss Helen M. Stone. Her health has
been somewhat affected by continual
confinement and hard fare, but she ex
presses herself as still confident of ulti
mate release.
A letter to Mr. Dickinson, diplomat
ic agent of the United States at Sofia,
replying to his proposals concerning n
random, says the brigands will hold
out for a figure very much above the
sum at Mr. Dickinson' command.
The brigands Interpret Mr. Dickinson's
not having fixed on the sum ho is will
ing to pay nnd on a time limit ns be
ing indications that ho can get more
money. They alsti demand immunity
from prosecution. But It Is impossible
for the diplomatic agent of the United
States here to havo power to bind the
governments of llttlgaria and Turkey.
This point, however, is not likely to
bo a serious obstacle In the wny of
negotiations.

The annual report of Governor Wil
liam M. Jenkins of the territory of
Oklahoma lias been made public by tho
secretary of the Interior. Governor
Jenkins makes a strong plea for state
hood, saying that the past rapid devel
opment of tho material interests of the
territory insure the. future. Ho claims
a population of r00,000 for Oklahoma
and adds concerning lis prospects:
"In tlu little, moro thnn a decado
wlilch has elapsed since tho creation of
the territory the people have accom
plished here more than any other com
munity has accomplished In n quarter
of a century. The story of the achiev
incuts of this people, their progressive

citizenship has never been equaled."
C'iihIich Tho Chock nt Hasting.
A supposed forger is accused of
swindling a couplo of Hastings, Neb.,
business men to the amount ot 810,35.
The man first paid a visit to Knuf &

he liought some meat and gave them a
cheek for SIO.W drawn upon the First
National bank of Hastings in favor of
George Martin nnd bearing tho signa
ture of J. M. Sewnll .t Co., grain buy
ers, of Hastings. The man signed tho
name of Georgo Martin on tho check
and it was immediately taken by tho
butchers. A few minutes later ho
went to tho butcher shop of Henry &
Drelbllbls, whero ho repeated tho per
formance for tho same amount of money.-
Tho matter was not discovered
until the butchers went to tho bank,
where the checks were pronounced
forgeries. The llian who signed tho
name, of George Martin was of sandy
complexion and wns dressed like a far
mer. As yet no trneo of him lias been
found.
lllRlit Hundred Minor Are Marching.
Three hundred coal miners aro gath

wnltlng for the Baltimore and Ohio
southwestern, westbound train, to
take them to Vlucennes, whero thoy
will be joined by tlvo hundred other
miners who nro now inarching from
surrounding towns to that city. Early
in the morning they will descend on
the Prospect Hill mines there and en
deavor to persuade tho non-union men
to stop work.
The men arc divided into companies,
each of which has a captain. They
any they will tolerate no violence and
will only employ lawful methods to
gain their ends. They will not return
until they have closed the mines down
they say, or secure the union scoles of
wages.
Tho men nt Prospect Hill havo been

F the many feast days
celebrated throughout
tho world, Thanksgiving
Day, tho day set npart
by proclamation to glvo
thanks to the Giver of
all good for the mercies
and blessings of the year
Is nearest and dearest to the hearts of
the American people. Especially is
this so in historic old New England,
whoro family tics, associations and
memories, together with the dny-by-day
life of the hardy sons and daugh
ters ot this prosperous and picturesque
region, aro tempered and molded even
to this day by tho traditions ot their
Puritan ancestry, writes Rev. John
Hall.
Nearly three centuries ago -a little
band of brave, adventurous' pioneers
celebrated tho first appointed day of
Thanksgiving. Governor Bradford, at
Plymouth, Mass., in tho autumn fol
lowing tho landing of the Pilgrims, set
apart n day to be devoted to thanks
giving, prayer, prniso and Incidentally
to arious nnd sundry demonstrations
of good will, good fellowship and a
genornl good time for young and old.
It was n day ot bounty, of openhanded
ness, a day when tho latch-string was
not only altogether out, but tho door
was wide open. It is said of certain
venerable Puritans that after the feast
was over, after tho hangers-on and tho
few poor of the neighborhood had been
fed, that they gathered into baskets
the scraps and bits that remained and
went out through tho highways and
byways looking for hungry dogs nnd
eats, that they also ..might bo filled on
this blessed dny. Falling In this, they
placed the food on some rock or treo
trunk, that the birds and wild beasts
might eat thereof. There aro many
holidays around which pleasant memo
ries . cluster, but among thorn all
Thanksgiving Day presents to our view
the most kaleidoscopic pictures. This
day for family reunion, this milestone
on tho pathway of human life, this day
from which many households date i
their pleasures and their griefs, tho
red-letter days in the calendar of the
aged nnd Infirm, hoped for, wnlted for,
prayed for, because it brought once
moro tho Bmiling faces of loved ones;
becauso it furnished ono moro delight
before tho vcuerablo nnd snow-crowned
heads wero laid away in their last long
homo. There Is ono most delightful
feature of this altogether happy occa
sion: Blessed bo the roof under which
an unbrokon family circle gathers.
Then It is tnat tho day can havo Its full
significance of thanksgiving and praise.
It is hard indeed to accept tho decrees
of Providenco when they remove from
us thoso to whom our hearts aro close
ly united. Try as wo may, profess as
wo will, up from tho depths of our
souIb comes the cry for the beloved
who havo been taken from us. But
when wo come, ono and all, en unbrok-.
eu band and take our places at the ta
ble filled with the good things ot life,
then in tho fullness ot our hearts wo
can givo thanks not only for the plenty
which has been showered upon us, but
for tho presence of thoso without
wnom our lives would be incompleto
and full of sorrow.
It Is meet that beforo we enjoy" tho
delights of a tahlo ladon with tho deli
cacies and dainties with which tho sea
son has furnished us, that wo should
render our trlbuto ot praise and
thankfulness to tho great, Provider who
glveth at tho proper time tho harvest
of field, orchard, meadow, forest and
stream. It; is but common Justlco that
we would do this even to a friend who
has bestowed favors upon us. How
much more, then, to the great Creator
who gives not oniy tho simplest, but
also tho greatest, gifts of our lives!
For the gift of life! What Is lite?
Luo Is the spirit ot God Himself. When'
God made man He breathed Into his
nostrils His own breath and with It
a fragment of his own spiritual and
immortal being.
The girl who has cultivated tho
spirit of thankfulness does not gush
over at the gift of a daisy, and snap
an Indignant' Thanks!' at tho man
who haB lost a day from tho ofuco to
gratify her llttlo whim, writes Edward
L. Pell in tho Womnn's Homo Com

of ours hud their whims. ad at-

erclBed tho priceless privileges of
thoughtlessness nnd snapping' now
and then, as girls, and other than
girls, havo always done; hut I
think it cannot bo A denied that
the girl of a generation ago had a
conscience on tho subject of dobts of
gratitudo such as few bavo had since
her day.
I" have said that I am afraid that
with many of us today it is a lost art
I am sure that it is not given that
prominenco which it once had, and
that it Is not cultivated with the en
thusiasm with which It once was.
Girls aro taught what etiquette says
about It, but etlquetto deals only from
the lips outward, and tho result is
that oven our language tells tho story
of tho dccadcnco of thanksgiving. A
traveler from Mars might hear our
Thanks!' a million times and never
suspect that it wns meant as an ack
nowledgment of a favor. I am sure
that up to, say, a dozen years ago, in
those parts of our .country whero gal
lantry has held out longest, ono could
not give up a seat in a car without
being sure of a full return In nn ac
knowledgment thnt meant to ac
knowledge something, and that to
day tho average man Is utterly upset
and undono when his cars catch the
old sweet sound.
Of course this does not justify or
account for tho current lack ot gal
lantry among men, but I am not en
gaged in tho hopeless task of restoring
men to tho old paths, but in the hope
ful ono ot pointing out a neglected
talent which tho most charming pf
girls may cultivate with good results.
I am not grumbling. I do not mean to
say that tho girl of tho period is ono1
whit behind tho girl ot tho past I do
not believe In tho decadencs of women.,
I bellovo that tho girl of today Is cquall
to tho girl her mother U3cd to be; but
r do not bellovo that it is enough to
say of our girls that they aro equal
to tho girls of tho past any moro than
!t Is enough to say of a flowor that has
had tho best attention of the best
florists for a generation that It is as
beautiful today as It was thirty years
ago.-
IfjWe havo done wisely, tho girl of
today ought to havo not only some
thing which her mother lacked, but
Bho ought to havo all her mother's
graces as well. But It Is a Berlous
question whether in pressing her de
velopment wo havo not cultivated
some qualities at tho expense of
others, Just as In pressing tho devel
opment of a certain flower wo havo
increased Its slzo and beauty at tho
expense of Its fragrance.
