WILSON NOW MRS. SAYRE: EVENT WAS SPECTACULAR, Simphety of All Arrangements Adds Distinction to Ceremony Washington, D. Nov. With smiles and confident happiness other, Francis Bowes Sayre and Jessie Wood row Wilsen, daughter of President and Mrs. Wilson, were joined in marriage late today at the White House before a company of dis tinguished officials, members of the diplomatic corps and close friends and relatives.

The scene was throughout the ten minutes of ceremony with grave solemnity as the president of the United States stood beside his wife, their faces a study of deep emotion as they gave way in marriage the first of their children. It was an intensely human sight as the meaningful words of the service were softly spoken before an arbor of palms and white lilies. With a pretty double ring service, the couple were united, the assembly spoke the Lord's prayer in fervent tones, the marine band struck up the wedding march of Mendelssohn and from that moment, the whole was transformed into a scene of gaiety and joyfulness.

KING TURKEY KING TURKEY Reversible Thanksgiving let's be thankful for the coal that's in the cellar; If it's paid for, let's be thankful that it is; If it isn't, let's be glad the other fellow. Must consider that the risk is wholly his. Let's be labor; thankful for the jobs at which we If perchance they're not exactly what we'd like We may still be better fixed than some poor neighbor Who has just been bounced or called upon to strike. Let's be thankful if our relatives are present To share the joy we have; but if they're not The case will then, of course, be still more pleasant, So either way we'll have a happy lot. Let's be thankful if the grim old money question Doesn't serve to keep our turkey off the In case it does, we won't have indigestion When the rich man's taking pills and blaming Fate.

S. E. Kiser Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving day is the day when every one says he is thankful, and wants to eat turkey to prove it. If you haven't anything else to be thankful for, you can be thankful you are not a turkey.

Thanksgiving day was first observed by the Pilgrims, who were thankful that they had five grains of corn apiece. In these extravagant times a man wouldn't be thankful if he had ten grains of corn--which shows conclusively that are prosperous. The trusts are doing a noble work in rem edying this evil condition. People have various unreasonable reasons for being thankful on Thanksgiving day. Some men are thankful they took a wife, and some are thankful they didn't take two.

Bachelor maids are thankful they are not "horrid bachelors," and a married woman is always thankful that her husband has a good wife. It is easy to be thankful if you go about it right. But the thing people are most thankful for is their money--even though they came by it honestly. The more a man has, the more thankful he is that it isn't less, and the less a man has the less likely he is to be thankful because it isn't more. Be thankful.

therefore, that you haven't too much to be thankful for. Turkey tastes all the better for coming but once a year. -Lippincott's. Time to Banish Depression. You, perhaps, have had trials of the severest kind, rebuffs, bitter disappointments, trouble that has clouded life's sky, but there is a compensation in your life.

The fine balance that nature shows in her great scheme does not stop with the natural world. It is continued on through evolutionary lines and finds compelling, convincing expression in our lives! Trouble is sometimes another name for a character builder; disappointment frequently acts as a fine balance wheel. The story can be carried on in all directions of experience.

THANKSGIVING Oh not alone for the harvest field nor the acres broad with their goodly yield, and not for the wealth of mart and farm, the garnered plenty, the gifts that charm, nor yet for the meadows that stretch away, do I give my thanks on this festal day. Fair is the gold of the yellow corn, bright is the dew of the early morn, glad is the billowy green of wheat, pleasant the path to my eager feet.

I lift my voice with a note of praise for the manifold blessings that fill my days. most for the throb and the thrill of life, for strength to buffet with stress and strife, for the chance to work, and to win my way, to attain, to climb toward the better day. I'm glad for the goodly gifts that cheer; but I'm thankful most for the visions clear, for the hopes that stay and the dreams that shine, and the love that drifts to this life of Dorris G.

The game was won in the last few moments of play by a touchdown, and this was the only score of the game. The Monett boys are highly elated with their success as the visitors were much heavier. Some of Drury's regular players could not take part in the game. Monett made some excellent plays, among them being the perfect forward pass by Hopkins, the 60 and 50 yard runs by Patton and a run of 40 yards on a fake forward pass by Alderson. The Thanksgiving game will be played on the home grounds with the Peirce City team.

The Monett beys have won four games, lost three and tied one this seasoh. BRAFFORD INVESTIGATION Sheriff Brixey and Prosecuting Attorney Burgess went to the home of Newt Brafford in West Monett Tuesday morning to further inquire into the alleged attack upon him. They received but little satisfaction. Brafford claims now that four men called him out of bed and when he dressed and went to the door they knocked him down and then carried him to the septic tank, where after further beating and threatening him he was permitted to return to his home. We understand that Mrs.

Brafford knew nothing of the affair until the next day noon. Brafford worked during the forenoon, so we are informed. It is a queer mix up, ALWAYS OTHERS TO HELP Thought for Those Who Are in Suffering at This Time of General Rejoicing. This was the sweet, consoling word that came to a woman struggling with fresh bereavement at the Thanksgiving season. Instantly a well of thankfulness was unsealed in her own heart.

All was not over, then! There was still something left to live for. Someone yet leaned on her. Someone turned to her for help and strength and comfort. It set a whole nest of singing birds caroling in the very ruins of her own happiness. Does this not give us a hint how to comfort the sorrowful? I don't want to be cried one whose best-beloved had been taken.

"All I want on earth is just once more to hear him say, 'I need That comfort, alas! was nevermore to be hers, but time showed her a helpless worldful of people always saying it. It is the true soul The solace of helping others is within the reach of every sufferer. Added to that is sometimes vouchsafed the reward hinted at in the beginning of this paragraph. Now and then someone will feel a warm throb of thankfulness toward us, and say so. It pays a thousand times for the little we are able to do out of our weakness.

It is a thousand times better than sitting by life's wayside and holding out pitiful hands for beggars' alms of condolence and sympathy. Nobody wants to have anybody thankful to him, but it is a high form of happiness to know that someone is thankful for us. For the Blessings Bestowed. Thankfulness makes the ordinary and simple gifts of God shine with a morning luster, and exudes the rarest perfume. There are two ways to get rich- is to increase the number of our dollars, the other is to increase the value of the few dollars we already have.

Thankfulness raises the blessings we already have to higher degrees of worth, and thereby enriches us. If thankfulness does not create new roses, it paints a finer hue on those we have; if it does not load our table, it puts a delicious sweetness in simple fare; if it does not clothe our bodies in costly raiment, it a sweetness of behavior to our bodies, so that we do not need such raiment to make us attractive. All other beautiful graces of Christian character are lacking in luster without the shining grace of gratitude to God for his abundant mercies and unceasing loving kindness to the children of men. To the Discontented. Let's be thankful, though care May be sent us to bear, For only the foolish may never, know trouble still breeds Wherever hope leadsThat the flowers of joy are watered By cleansing tears of woe.

Let's be thankful, though still There is many an ill That we long to have strength to clear away, For contentment is shown By the foolish alone, By the weak who are merely waiting To return to their mother clay. -S. E. KISER. No One Too Poor to Give.

Something that rich, poor, strong, young, old can give- -thanks. Did you ever think of that? Just as long as you have a heartand may it be always--you can appreciate something and be grateful. Poor indeed is that man or woman who in this life can find nothing for which thanks can be given. ANOTHER SANTA FE MAN GIVEN FRISCO POSITION Springfield, Nov. 24.
