asked If he knew the land.
"Yes , " he replied , "I know every
foot of It. "
"What do you think It Is worth , Mr.
Potter ? " was the next question.
Thu old man paused a moment and
then said , slowly : "If I had as many

French Canals.
The greatest era of canal building
In Franco has been the present pe
riod. The aim In building them has
been to unify , to complete , to cheap
en. Another great work done by the
republic has been the unifying of all
the waterways ; depth , breadth of the
canals , distance between the locks
have been made uniform throughout
the country , so that the 30x40 canals ,
built at different periods In the course
of centuries , arc now as ono single
canal conveying goods to till parts of
Franco and to all her principal sea
ports. The canals are under state su
pervision. They are built and kept
up by state engineers. The Invest
ment for building canals Is valuable ,
because of what It yields , of what It
helps , and also of what It prevents.
The canals act as a kind of rate bill ,
an automatic , self-regulating ono. In
the regions ( northeast of Franco ) al
though canals are Improved nnd In
creased In great number , are still In
adequate , trnlllc Increasing more and
tuore. In those parts you will often
see the water covered with flat-bot
tom bouts of 300 tons , loaded with
goods to the brim. M. Jussorand ,

The School Lunch and Dyspepsia.
It Is very Important that the meal
oaten at recess be a warm ono , nnd
whenever possible It should be prepared -
pared nnd eaten at home. Until a
child Is 10 or 12 years old It must
have Its dinner or principal meal of
the day at noon. The rest of the
household may dlno In the evening ,
but for the youngster so heavy a re
past near bedtime Is certain to bo
deleterious. A bundle of cold sand
wiches will not serve as a substitute
for the midday dinner , for the child
needs not only warm , home-cooked
food , but also the walk homo , the bit
of play on the way nnd the hour's
forgetfulness of lessons. Leonard

Not long ago n llttlo girl was asked
by another llttlo girl what she usually
did on Thanksgiving day. "I cat all
I can hold of good things , " was her
quick reply. "That's u pity , " re
marked her questioner , "for It doubt-
lotm makes you ill , and does nobody
good. Now , I oujoy a good dinner ,
( no , but I cat In moderation. And I
carry a basket of nice things to some
poor sick person who otherwise
might not get any Thanksgiving din
ner. "
If every child who has a good home
and plenty to eat on Thanksgiving
day would remember the words of
the thoughtful and kind-hearted llttlo
girl quoted above there would be
cause for much rejoicing and tlmnk-
fulness on the day that wo all look
forward to with so much anticipation.
But It Is a fact , sad to relate , that
too many persons not merely chil
dren , but grown-ups as well think of
Thanksgiving merely as a day of
feasting I might nay of gorging. Par
ents make the mistake of not remind
ing their children of the needy poor
whose tables nro without the good
things to eat on that day of all days
when plenty Is supposed to bo la or-
cry home. If the children of ovary well-
to-do family would take it upon them
selves to ask their mother for a basket
of well-prepared and wholesome food
to carry to some poor family where
otherwise there might bo no Thanks
giving cheer the day would Indeed
be ono deserving of the name given
it. And on the same day they might
carry to some poor sick person a bou
quet of flowers and a nice warm garment - ,
ment or a pair of slippers. Any little
deed of kindness to the unfortunate
will enrich your own pleasures for
the day and make you feel more de
serving of the plenty that has fallen
to your lot.
Remember the poor , the unhappy ,
the sick , Is a good motto for every
child to pin over his dresser mirror a
few days before Thanksgiving. And
when the day arrives he'll find such
Joy In the knowledge that he Is mak
ing some ono soul the happier by his
kindness. Just try It , boys and girls.

"A true happening was the Inspira

"In July n Brooklyn wonjan set out
for Ocean Grove , and on her arrival
discovered that her watch , a small af
fair , was missing. She thought il j
had probably dropped on the thick ,
soft dining-room rug , so she wired to
the maid at home :
" 'Let mo know If you find anything
on rug In dining-room. '
"A few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying :
" 'Dear Madam : I was to let you
know if I found anything on the din
Ing-room rug. This Is what I found
this morning : Three champagne corks
18 cigar butts , five cigarette ends , four
blue chips , 36 burnt matches and one
