PIT AWAY TUE HAMMElt
Pu» away the mighty hammer
tV't wo used to swing of vore. It
has lost is former glamour, .tad
we Jo not need it more, for the
towu *s full of bustle, aud its watch
word uow is "boom!" uud the way
*o m:'ke it hustle is the hammer's
knocks to doom. Put away the
husky hammer that the foolish
used to use, fOT it always was a
shammer, aud it3 sole result was
blues. Now the ss^od old town is
booming, and the hammer's struck
with bligat, so, to keep the booui
le* booming, hide the knocker out
of s'ght. Put away the drafted
hammer, for it now is out of date,
and 'he knocker with lii3
"Damu'er!V should be hurried to
his fate. Ah, we lack the will
for knocking if in step with life we
ke-'p; so, the kicker's method
Hocking, hide the hammer fathoms
deep.--Steramento Union.
LIVING AND DYING
truest Crosby
So he died for his faith? That is
fiue—
More than most of us do.
But, say, can you add to that liue
That he lived for it, too?
Iu his deail- he bore witness at
last
As a martyr to Truth.
Did his life do the same in the
past.
From the days of his youth?
!• is easy to die. Men have died
For a wish or a whim—
From bravado, passiou or pride:
Was it harder for him?
But io live! Every day to live
out
All the truth that he dreampt.
While his friends met his conduct
with doubt,
And the world, with contempt!
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk of the life that
he lived—
Never niind how he died!

The annual observauce of a day
of thanksgiving in the United
States having become a fixed cus

recurrence of this event, and to ask
their co-operation to the end that
i»s significance may be duly and
fittingly acknowledged; and, there

clamation of the President of the

THANKSGIVING
And il is recommended that on
| tha' day the people of Alaska do
rerraiu from labor, so far as pos
sible, and unite in a general ob
servance of the day. As a people,
w-i should be thankful for many
blessings. Oirr country continues
I to be at peace with the world; it
| stands out pre-eminently as the
sanest of nations in the midst of
the war conflict that engulfs the
people of Europe, and which shocks
| tho world. Through the many per
plexing situations that have arisen
during tho year, and the many prob
leu.s that have developed and de
manded solution, this nation has
been enabled to preserve and main
tain peace without sacrificing prin
ciples; the continuation of this
colossal war, involving, as it does,
the clash of fundamental political
idras, makes this especially a time
for the searching of hearts for tak
ing account of our stewardship as
guardians of those principles which
are the foundation stones of the
Lmtfcm.
We have had bountiful crops, we
have had opportunities for service,
for public enlightenment, and these
have bstn used for the uplift and
beuefit of humanity; we have been
favorc-d beyond all precedent, and,
while there is still much to be done
for the betterment of conditions
among our own people, there has
been substantial progress along
li'ies that make for the well-being,
[ anU greater economic, freedom and
happiness of all the people of this
republic.

Kind words do not cost much.
They never blister the tongue or

Though they do not cost much, yet
they accomplish much. They make
