Truly, we bare much to be thankful (or. In tfce past and present of achievements In our wonderful country. We rejoice In the fact that the first touch of civilisation to the West era world came through Roman Catholic Influence, and the first foot of civilized man to touch our shores was that of a devout follower of the tenets ot the church of Rome. "Religious toleration," so well exemplified in the present condition of affairs in our country, began In Catholic Maryland, and at a time when New England felt the necessity of burning witches. The great West, as geographical designations so well attest, was opened up by monk and priest, in spreading the light of civilization and the Gospel of the Crucifix in the wilderness.

But let us remember that all the actual evil and suffering in the world is. In actual experience, only such of It as each individual feels. For each individual life how largely irs blessings outmeasure its sorrows! We realize the great weight of sorrow and sin that the vttrftl knows, but we never realize the great volume of its happiness. Of the misery of the world, no one has experienced more than you or I might have done. If you can by faith solve the problem of your own life you have solved it for everybody.

And who does not prize his life even as it is, nd may we not see in it by and by, even in its sorrows, a larger blessing than we can see now? "But on the higher shelves we may see the many blessings of the social relations, sympathies and affections. No one can sufficiently estimate the great, value to him, for instance, of his home life. When one of the accustomed faces tins gone wo miss it sorely, and realize what a great blessing the guest existence of that one life has been to us. These too little valued blessings 'brighten as they take their ami then we realize something of what they really were to us when we regarded them so lightly. For a hearth stone whose embers are unscattcred we cannot too deeply thank God to day.

His mother told Magistrate Howe that the boy was thoroughly unmanageable and ask him to commit him to some institution for a couple of years, but this it was not in ths magistrate's power to do, and he directed the woman as to what steps she should take to bring his commitment about.

Just as women are crowding men's avenues of work so are motor cars competing with the horse. Tho lineman atop a 60 foot pole has always felt his post free from woman's Invasion and the pack mule has likewise feared no opposition. Both of them had better have a care. L. L.

Patrick, a mining engineer of Tonopah, has recently returned from San Francisco where ho bought a Columbia 4 cylinder car to replace a mule team equipment making two daily trips between Qoldfleld and Tonopah, a distance of 80 miles over exceedingly rough and difficult roads. George Sykes, a prominent young American motorist, member of the Automobile Club of America, has just received his car from abroad. Sykes went to Europe last spring, taking with him a Columbia 4 eyllndcr car with which he made the tour described In the charming book of travel, "The Lightning Conductor." except that he reversed the Itinerary. Since returning Sykes has had smaller sprockets fitted' to his car for American use.

These "rites of the dead" are performed for nil over ten years of age, with the hope of delivering them from hades or of improving their condition there. They lust for periods that vary according to the age and wealth of the deceased for children and young people from seven days to a month, for a middle aged man of ordinary means from a month to forty nine days.
