Tomorrow is Thanksgiving l**v I
In the I'nttxtl States Thanksgiv
ing l>ay dates from the Plymouth
Colony where the first celebration
was publicly given In lt?2l; but the
principle of Thanksgivings Is as old
as humanltj Wherever mankind
has become advanced enough to
observe that the material universe Is
governed by law, such law has im
l"vssed itself upon human under
standing s.s a governing intelligence,

ing \? hen misfortunes came and
the Una was ahuncer with famine,
then the people tried to propitiate
the gods I>> offering sacrifices and
gifts; but when the harvest was
bountiful they rejoiced and made
merry in the autumn, out of which
grew the modern Thanksgiving Day
- and it Is a pretty and wholesome
custom.
The true, spiritual thanksgiving
has but little in common with eat-1
ing roast turke> and driuking "Tom j
and Jerry." Whenever a new
thought is born that is good, that
should be a day of thanksgiving to
you. It is a gift from God.
That Turkey will soon, very soon, i
be driven trom Kurope, seems to
be the couclusion drawn from the
present trouble with the Balkan
states Gradually the districts and
countries lormerly under Turkish
rule have achieved independence or
been *K?rtitioned off until the once
powerful empire is being shoved off
the map
Greece achieved her independence
in 1S2H. says the Vancouver Sun
In the fifties Russia got Bessarabia
and a large section of Armenia. Rou
mania, having enjoyed autonomy un
?ler Turkish suterainty from the
time of the Crimean war. became a
kingdom, also In 1875.
What were known as the Turkish
atrocities In Bulgaria followed on a
revolt which had its rise in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Then followed
the Russian invasion of Turkey,
which gave autonomy to the larger
part of Bulgaria In 1S7S; and at
the time of the Young Turk revolu
tion in 1J0S Bulgaria declared her
independence.
Bosnia and Herzegovina. which at
the former date came under Aus
trian protection, were seized by Aus
tria in 1?'"> The French invaded
Algiers In 182? and were eighteen
years conquering it. They took five
years to get no further than Italy
has now got In Tripoli I.ater
France added Tunis, and she is now
adding Morocco, while Italy has set
the heather on fire by commencing
the same process of forced regener
ation in Tripoli

ARE YOU GOAo TO LAW?

Important ca*cs fr.-m the (kvkets of

?on* who think they have a 'oca I griev
ance ahouM consult a rt.vtor, not a law
yer In effect he says that PO per
ceot of tha cases brought Into court are
the result of an unhealthy liver
Mr Duane said that lawyers should
advise most of their clients to fro to a
doctor before going to court Then
there wookl be very little litigation. It
wouM be better for the pobttc. prob
ably, but not so good for the lawyers.
Aa a matter of fact. however, law
yers are tending more an.1 more toward
?vtttlng cases ont of court In some
countries tn the f*r east It Is the prac
tice to pay doctors for keeping their
clieats In go>*1 health. As soon aa the
patient grows sick the doctor's pay
ceases It Is to his interest to harry 1
tbe patient ba k to health. The people
of the United States have not yet reach- '
?d that point, but they are a caring it '
Corporations todky no longer hire law
yers to grt thorn out of trouble. They
hire lawyer* by the year to keep them
.?nit of trouble. The lawyers who now
receive the highest fees are those who
do not fight their battle* In court but
who keep their client* oat of court
After awhile Individuals will try to
keep out of court too. and will pay
bigger fees for prevention than for
cure. Probably it Is an exaggeration to
say that 90 per cent of the litigants
should consult a doctor Instead of a
lawyer, but It is certatn that most liti
gants need a doctor when they pet the
lawyer's bill, anyhow, so they might as
well consult the family physician In the
first place. If he Is a man of common
sense be will advise his patient to set
tle his grievances outside of court

BRIDGING THE GANGES.
A Massive Steel Structure to Span the
Sacred River.
The task of bringing the Ganges, the
great river of northern India which

This bridge, which Is over a mile In
length. Is to carry the Eastern Bengal
State railway over the Ganges from
Damukella to Sara Ghat the place of
pilgrimage to which hundreds of thou
sanda of devout U Indus repair once a
year to wash away their sins tn the
sscred river.
Spanning the river, the bridge will
be carried on steel trestles. which In
turn will be supported on massive steel
grilles in granite piers. The contract
oonslsts of fifteen main spans, each
359 feet long and K2 feet high and
weighing 1.900 tons.
The Ganges Is essentially a river of
great cities. Calcutta, Patna. Benares
and Allahabad all lie on its course,
and the ancient capitals of Agra and
Pelhi are on the Jnmna. higher up.
Great changes take place from time to
time In the river bed of the Ganges,
which considerably alter the face of
the conn try. Extensive Islands are
then thrown np, and many decayed
ami ruined cities that are then discov
ered attest the changes In the river
