THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE FOR NEWS , AT $1 PER YEAR NOW AND THEN. Thanksjjtvinir with its visions of roast turkey is upon us. While the year has held its full measure of sorrow for sonic of us , yet withal , it has been a tfood old ear. Crops have been unusually tjood and are selling at a fair > rice. The country as a whole las been wonderfully prosperous itid our national life has been greatly advanced in all that per tains to a progressive people. 2ivic virtue is becoming a fad i ml a few conspicuous examples lave made it popular to be an loncst public official. Of course every popular movement attracts nsincere men > vho attempt to get in the swim bv doing the popular thing , and who advocate lonesty , not from a sense of right ind duty , but because it is the best policy. This is true not only in national and state affairs , but is equa.ll ) ' true of ever } ' com munity however small. Falls ity has its full share of these men , but it is one thing to be thankful for that we have no more and that we are all on to their scheme. But speaking of Thanksgiving. How many there arc who do not know how to keep the day. Dickens in his Christmas Carol expressed the wish that it might be said of all of us that we knew how to keep Christmas. When one has been around the world a little , and has witnessed to what base uses Thanksgiving is given over , he wishes that all men might know how to observe the day propcrlv. t * * Have you ever been away from home on Thanksgiving , and spent the day with the few dis consolate spirits found about a city hotel ? You will be thrown in with a few traveling men who found themselves unable to get home for the day , a few actors who never get home but live the year round in hotels , and a few misguided individuals who spend their holiday shaking dice with the bar keep and drinking Tom and Jcrr } * . Of course you cannot attend to business matters be cause nobody is in his office. So you sit in the smoking room and watch the happy crowd hurrying by through the snow , all on pleasure bent. You wonder what they are doing at home and picture to yourself the games and laughter that the home folks always indulge in. You sec the impatient children snuffing hung rily the glorious odors that come from the kitchen when the door is opened. While you well , you're away from home on Thanksgiving day and that's grief enough for anybody. When the time conies you go to your lonely dinner without enthusiasm or appetite. You order roast turkey from the impulse of senti ment. Ugh , may the good Lord deliver me from hotel turkey and a lonely dinner on Thanksgiving. After your cigar is smoked you follow the crowd to the matinee because there is nothing else to do. Between acts the disappoint ment at being absent from home comes back to you. When the show is over you wander back to the hotel and watch the early night fall , and the darkness gather over the city. You see the street lights swing out and hear the signs creak as they sway in the wind. Laughing groups pass the windows hurriedly on their way home. Then comes a loneliness like which there is nothing in the world. The lone liness of the contagious holiday spirit and you alien and alone. If you want to be out of the picture altogether just try a Thanksgiving night away from home. * * * But a Thanksgiving at home. Ah , that is quite a different thing. A Thanksgiving properly celebrated , and there is but one way to observe the day , leaves a delightful memory , a good taste in the mouth and pleasant antici pations of the next one. A day when there is neither work to do nor regrets for wasted time. A day when you sleep as late in the morning as you wish. When you can gather all the absent ones to the household and talk of things which have occurred during the separation and of hopes for the future. You walk out over the brown fields and up the hills tak ing all the little fellows with you. The keen air gets into your blood and incites you to challenge the Hcctcst boy to a ace. You return to the house with red face and empty stomach i ml view the great fellow brown- tig in the oven with a delight nlmost childish. And then the linner Not a course dinner nind you , for what sane man would want fish and soup on Thanksgiving day , Take a look- it the deliciously browned turkey , ust see the rich dressing oo/.ing out of him. Was there ever such : i turkey before. Look at the pumpkin pics and the nuts and the raisins and then talk about a course dinner if you dare. No , no , you want all the room you have for the guest of honor , and there is no place in a Thanks giving stomach for anything but an old fashioned Thanksgiving linner. hen in the afternoon , when the little stomachs have stopped aching and larger stomachs are less distressed , there is so much to do and talk about. So many games for the children to play , so little time to'do it all that the darkness conies before you know it and the night sets in and the stars gleam out in the keen , clear air before the afternoon seems fairly begun. The guests , if there be guests , gather their wraps about them and start for home. The fire is replenished for the night is cold. The ghostly fingers of the snow and sleet are tapping on the windows enhanc ing by contrast the light and warmth of the house. The chil dren are in bud and tucked in for the night. Nobod ) * has thought of supper , the very suggestion would have been unpleasant. The house seems strangely still and silent. In the quietude the snow seems beating louder against the window and the gust whistles as it scurries down the chimney. You . look across the reading table to where she sits with her mending The gar ments have fallen to her lap and her hands are idle and dreaming eyes seem to searcli the future for stories of children grown to man ar.d womanhood stories yet untold. You glance at the clock ; it is late and you lay down your book. book.It It has been a nice Thanks giving , " she says. Yes , " you reply , "we have all been at home. " And that is the way to spend Thanksgiving , and is the only kind of Thanksgiving wortli while. In the Peaceful Country. Have you ever driven along a country road by moonlight ? That soft dreamy radiance which all the carefully and artistically arranged are lights in the heav ens are ! How the distance and vastness appeal ! How small one then knows himself to be ! Tired eyes rest in the soft silvery light , and high-tentioned nerves relax under the soothing rhythm of leaves swayed by soft night winds , and the soul that elusive inner "I" of every man reaches out and up to better things. Truly life is good , you will de cidegood and well worth while. Yon will scent the odor of moss , and of earth fresh by bubbling springs teat come from cool , dark recesses in the near-by groves , and there will be strange moving shadows on the white road as the oranches bend in the breeze.

When the nessetiger of an unexpected bless- ng takes you by the hand and ifts you up and bids you walk you ma } * leap and run and sing 'or jov , even as the same whom St. Peter healed skipped piously ind rejoiced aloud as he passed through the beautiful gate of the emplc. There is no virtue in solemn indifference. Joy is as nuch a duty as beneficence is. Thankfulness is the other side of nercy. Henry Van Dyke Too Late. Poor Old Bill Wright is dead it last. Died in the Brown coun ty poor house , forsaken by friends ind relatives alike. It is the iiinic old story so often told : "Whiskey did it. " It is a sad requium to sing when the last trumpet sounds for one who was once gifted with great mechani cal skill , and ambition to achieve success in this world of progress , Lt caused an otherwise good man to die neglected , and there is not i single tear to drop or a regret to be expressed over his death. The only remark heard is that old Bill is better olT dead. Ilis end is a terrible object lesson to those who think they can suppress - press the liquor traffic by drink ing it all up and quit some day , but , like thousands of others the day never came , until he was forced to the poor house without means or opportunity to procure the stuff , and then it was too late. The old , old , sad , bitter wail that speaks so much , "TooLate. " Ilorton Commercial. Market Letter. Kansas City Stock Yards , Nov.

TO EXTEND YOUR LIFE. Thinking nn Exhaustive Process and the Need the Brain Worker Una of Repair. According to tlio theories propound ed recently by Dr. Wllliolm Ostwuld , of the University of Lclpslc , in his Iccturo before the students oC Colum bia university , the length of human life depends upon the store of psychic energy which is within the body. The prolongation of life at pleasure , ac cording to his theory , should bo mere ly a question of revitalizing the body occasionally with this mystcrlotm force , which travels through the norv- oun system , autl which experiment lias shown to bo closely akin to electricity. Dr. Ostwald said in part : "Thinking Is the most exhaustive kind of work , because It consumes more of this force than nny physical process. It has often been found , upon stopping the process of thought , that this energy IB transformed Into heat In the body , and at the same time there Is less need of rconforcomont of the supply of energy. When I am en gaged In severe menial labor , as I have been since coming to America , I cat twice as much as I do when I nm not HO ( engaged. This only shows that the brain ' IB constantly using up n supply of the energy , and to keep up bralu work wo must kocp supplying the en ergy from the outside. "Most of this energy comes in through the food which wo cat , but every sense Impression , mich nn see ing i , hearing or feeling , convoys a cer \ tain amount of force Into the body. When the body once receives the en ergy , it acts Just llko any other ma- clilno ( In its transferences. The ques tion ' of long life then in simply a ques- tlon of keeping up the supply. As long j as the vital organs are nblo to assimilate i properly , thus providing the ' body with the force that Is used up In mental and physical processes , ] n person should remain young.

When my lit- tla neighbor washes blankets , It is a pleasure just to sit by and watch the pretty , soft , fluffy things blow ing on the lino. The process IB so Hlmplo that I have learned to do It myself. Cheese a warm , sunny , but windy day. This IB Important , if the best results are wished. Whllo dry , look over them carefully , and put a safety pin In the center of the spoiled spots. For ono pair of blan kets , prepare n. muls with halt a cake of any good white canp , with ono lablcspoonful each of borax and am monia. The suds must bo ns hot as you can bear the hand In. Lot tUo blankets stand In this tor an hour , and It the water Is too cold , add more hot water. Then look up the places where the pins are , rcmovo these and rub between the hands until the spots disappear. Do not ruben on ' the board , and do not soap on the blanket direct ; have ready a second ! tub , of suds , and paddle them around in this , squeezing and pressing be tween ' the hands ; rinse In not less than three waters of the same tern- peratnro , running thorn through the wringer each time. Fasten with at least a dozen pins to the line , and * shako ' frequently while drying. Storing Woolens. This is the sea son i for putting away woolen clothes and ' furs. No moth balls or other vile-smelling substance will bo needed If the garments arc hung on the line in the sun , whipped with a light switch , and In the case of clothes all the soil spots carefully cleaned. Then tie up in clean pillow coses or , better still , fold over the hems and run along on the machine.
