A Tribune representative called on A. S. Richardson, Supt. of the elec trical department at Missouri Pacific yards early this week and was given much information regarding the work at the yards. Among other things the water supply was spoken of. Mr. Richardson says they have plenty of splendid water. Two large wells are now in condition and will furnish abundant supply. .lust at I present a little surface alkali water j« is in the wells which flowed in be fore proper tubing was lowered. The superintendent says it will non take more than a day at the most, to pump out all that water and then there will he no more for the test wells put down around the yards give excellent water.

For the days when nothing happens, For the cares that leave no trace. For the love of little children. For each sunny dwelling place. For the altars of our fathers, And the closets where we pray, Take, O gracious God and Father, Praises this Thanksgiving Day. For our harvests safe ingathered. For our golden store of wheat. For corn lands and the vine lands. For the flowers up-springing sweet, For our coasts from want protected, For each inlet, river, bay, By Thy bounty full and flowing. Take our praise this joyful day. For our dear ones lifted higher, Through the darkness to tlie* light. Ours to love and ours to cherish In dear moemory, beyond sight; For our kindred and acquaintance, In Thy heaven who safely stay, \v'e uplifn our psalms of triumph, . ord, on this Thanksgiving Day. For hours when heaven is nearest, And the earth-mood does not cling, For the very gloom oft broken Py our looking for the King; By our thought that He is coming, For our courage on the way, Take. O Friend, unseen, eternal. Praises this Thanksgiving Day. —Margaret K. Sangster. Mayor Keeling Returns. Mayor Keeling returned Friday evening from Lincoln where he spent three days attending the State Muni cipal convention. Fifty-three towns and cities were represented by may ers and aldermen and much good was derived from this general mixing and exchanging of ideas. Mayor Keeling feels that the meeting was a rousing success and that much good can be accomplished by association with men of affairs along this line. A Shoulder Dislocated. .John Martins’ team became fright ened last Friday morning and ran away. He was thrown from his wood wagon and had his shoulder dislocated and was otherwise badly bruised up. The shoulder was set at once and he seems to be doing nicely. A Thanksgiving Menu In planning the Thanksgiving din ner remember the - main course is heavy, and the salad should be light. Never serve chicken salad with roast turkey, if you value your digestion. The following menu will make a splendid Thanksgiving dinner: Roast Turkey Oyster Dressing Cranberry Sauce Browned Sweet Potatoes Mashed Potatoes Brown Gravy Apple, Nut and Celery Salad Olives Pickles Celery Mince Pie Coffee Ran Away From Haskell. Last Thursday night Night watch Catnblin picked up two Indian boys who asked permission to sleep in the 4 “boose.” The next morning Chief Marts viewed them with suspicion and failing to get any clear account of them while they were together, he took <me of the boys into his office and after a systematic “sweating” found they had run away from Has kell Institute at Lawrence, Kansas. They iiad been sent there from' the Flathead Reservation in western Montana. The other boy seemed anxious to return to the school but the little fellow, who had run away th”ee times before seemed bent oil going home. Chief Marts Notified the school and Friday night Prof White, disci plinarian of the school came for the boys.' He said they had been gone eight days but as those who ran away usually headed for Oklahoma they had been hunting for them there He took the boys back Saturday. AIL SHOULD BEJHANKFUL THE THANKFUL INDIVIDUAL IS THE HAPPY ONE In Most Instances The Real Cause Of Not being Thankful Is Selfishness There is perhaps no fault that a person can have that is more harm ful than to be unthankful A good mother will early in life instruct her boy or girl, to say for benefits re ceived, “Thank you!” It is a sign of good breeding, and it indicates the better hom.e life and manners. At the root, of all ingrati tude lies the sin of selfishness. The person that, is selfish, is ungrateful. If you show me an ungrateful person, you show me at the same time one who is unhappy. It makes no differ ence how much the good is that they receive, they think they de serve much more, hence that feel ing of ingratitude. One of the great theologians has said: “The essence of sin is selfishness.” We add that the real cause of not being thankful is selfishness. It is there fore a duty* that we learn to culti vate the feeling of appreciation with in us. This was strongly developed in the Psalmist words when he said, “What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits to me.” This man felt his obligations to liis Cod, and the sense of appreciation was highly developed in him. It, is strange that in this age of Christian civilization where the reasons are so very many for it, that there are people utterly neglect ful and destitute of praise. The hea then philosopher had three special reasons to be'thankful The first was that he was human and not a beast, the second that lie was a philosopher and not a llar barian and thirdly that of being a Creek. Shall this man put us to shame? Should not each of us maintain a sense of gratitude that we were created in the image of God, and indowed with a rational mind? Should we not be thankful for Chris tian civilization and educational ad ■ a,rages? 'Lastly, can any of our ,‘ili/t’i'R he thankful enough for the benefits of a free government like f that of ours under whose proud flag we live? Is there a land more high ly blest? Did not the year again bring forth its . abundant, harvests and manifold other blessings? Our national Thanksgiving day is but a natural result. It is not the individuals Thanksgiving so much as that of the nation. The individual should be thankful daily, and the nation’s gratitude as a whole finds expression in our great Thanksgiv ing Day. We would make a plea for a better and more general observance of this city. We are called to this duty by the president of the United States, and by the governor of the state in which we may live. Let us not forget that the great God, our Heavenly Father, expects of us to appreciate His many blessings that he has so lavishly bestowed, is He asking in vain, were there not ten cleansed, where are the nine?" Our God is still asking, “where are the nine?” Readers are we meeting His expectations? Is there not a danger that the nation may loose the senstv of gratitude to God? Without this the worship of God becomes impossible, and all religious feeling and every sense of obligation to God will die in us. The more normal the Christians’ life the more the sense and even instinctive feel ing of grateful praise will spring up in the heart. Wherever the Scriptures shed any light on the employment of the heavenly beings, it is that of praise. Would you be happy, learn the secret. It is. “Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow.” Count His many blessings and you will find more than you can number. Thank means to think on the goodness of God makes you thankful, and the thank ful one is the happy one. Yes. readers, would you be hap pier, learn the secret. Be thank ful.—J. R. Nnnuinga. GOLDEN WEDDING A Notable Family Reunion Held In This City Last Friday. Friday November IS, 1910 proved a great day for the Bailey family. The immediate occa sion of calling together the scattered members was the celebration of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey of Broken Bow, Nebraska, the father and mother of the pastor of the First Presbyterian church here.

Cooper Dailey, fittingly character ized tin occasion a.s one of great joy and gratitude, not only to the aged parents, who fifty yijprs ago to day joined hands and hearts in a life long and happy union, but to their six children and their partners in life by marriage with the several grandchildren. Mr. .1. K. Walsh spoke in a happy and complimentary vein to the toast “ Reminiscences," while “The son I ought to have been” was humorously responded to by the second son. I)r. George Bailey.

Mr. Bailey still lias the clipping from the newspaper circulated in Durham, England, telling of his wed ding so long ago. They came to this country a little over sixteen years ago, settling in Humboldt, and after a few years spent there moved to Broken Bow where they make their permanent home, arranging to spend the win ters in the Manse with their son, Dr. R. C. Bailey. A regular shower of letters, tele grams, postal cards, and messages came from different parts of iliis country and from England congratu luting these old people and wishing for them the very best things both for tliis life and the life that is to come. Operation Successful. Word from Neal Thornton at Min neapolis states that his mother, Mrs. Ellen King was operated on at that 1 lace Monday and that it was suc cessful and she was getting along 1 icely. Sharper than a serpent's tooth is base ingratitude.—Shakespeare. ABOUT MRS. T. J.

"True, How True.” How dear to iny heart is the steady subscriber Who pays la advance at the birth of each year, Who lays down the money and does It quite gladly, Ami easts round the office a halo of cheer. He never says, "Stop it; I cannot af ford it, I'm getting more papers than now 1 can read.” Hut alwuys says, “Send it; the family likes it— in fact, we all think it a real house hold need.” How welcome he is when he steps In our sanctum, How he makes our heart throb; how he makes our heart dance. We outwardly thunk him; we inwlrd ly hleBS him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance. —Crozler. The First Lecture.
