OltMiON. NOVEMBER- 84. THANKSGIVING DAY. The founders of this country believed that God is managing human destiny, and that if faithfully obeyed He would guard and preserve those of His children who ventured across the stormy sea's into this unknown wilderness. And even before they had gained a real foothold, and while their future looked ominous, they appointed a day of thanksgiving to God. Now there is the same danger that. our people will forget the God who led the fathers, as that some men who pray with all their hearts while in some bodily peril, will forget God when they recover and life seems smiling. But if this republic is to endure and be worth preserving, it must not lose that reliance upon the divine force that heartened our forefathers in their hard struggle. Many na tions that forgot God and His laws in the past have gone down into the dust, and nothing is left of their greatness but decaying ruins. The American people in their thoughtless way appoint a holiday of thanksgiving to God and then use it for football games and sporting life. They mean no harm and they need the relaxa tion. But it would not hurt them a bit to spend some part of the day in Thanksgiving devotions. Many people, no matter how difficult their lot, can see some brighter side of their life for which in common decency they ought to give thanks. And as for the nation, it has abundant reason for thankfulness, that it passed through a world shaking catastrophe with less suffering than other peoples. And the real thanksgiving day is no mere thing of personal feeling, but iT seeks out the poor and needy and makes them share in the general well being. A Thanksgiving day observance that does nothing for those who are in doubt whether they have reason for thankfulness, observes the letter rather than the spirit of the occasion. o Don't try to get clear around that Thanksgiving turkey otherwise you may not be able to be around tomorrow. o Today is the day we should all be thankful for the many blessings bestowed upon us during the past year.

An Interesting history attaches to small packet about two and half Inches square wbicb recently arrived U Loudon. It weighed two aud a half pounds and was eagerly bought by an Amerlcau linn for about $0,000. The packet contained osmlrldlum (osmium aud Its alloy, Iridium), used for the tipping of fountain pen points and for delicate bearing of Due machinery. The discovery of osmlrldlum, wbicb Is a member of the platinum group of metals, constitutes an Interesting ro mance, the Detroit News states. To ward the end of the last year a small group of prospectors were washing for ,cold in one of the river beds In Papua, British New Guinea. In their euger ness to find the precious metal they threw away from their pans bluish gray, fluxy substance as worthless. This was osmlrldlum, snd It Is eight times more vuluable than gold and worth at the present time about $200 an ounce. ' When the men got back to the set tlement they mentioned the occurrence to a mining engineer, who Immediately asked them what they did with the substance. They replied that they left It on the river bank, and the en gineer exclaimed, "It must be osmlrld lum." The next morning the whole party started for the spot, only to find on their arrived that the tropical rains and the swollen river had washed away most of the precious stuff. What remained was carefully raked together, refined and dispatched to London, where It arrived safely a short while ago, having been heavily Insured for the voyage. Osmlrldlum Is one of the hardest metals known and prospectors are eagerly searching for It In Papua. SEE STARS IN GREAT FLOCK Latest Group Discovered Believed to Contain Equivalent of Quarter Million of Our Suns. Every new Invention of the as tronomer's observatory enlarges the distance he can peer Into space sod measure Its receding boundaries, so that one can never say which Is the farthest star. But we can say which Is at the farthv est distance measured. This honor It at present borne by a tiny blur of llghl which has no name and a few years ago was not noticed, but which is now Identified in the new general catalogue of stars as No. 7008 or, more pre clsely, N. Q. C. 7008. It Is not really one star, bnt great flock of stars, probably containing more than the equivalent of a quarter of a million of our suns, and It Is so far away that If some unkown ss tronoimr could flash' a light signs! at us from one of the suns or planets there it would be nearly a quarter of a million years before that message could reach us. There Is good reason to believe that this flock of stars Is moving toward as. It Is hardly necessary to say, that !t will take a long time coming. An Elastic Metal. The most remarkable thing about vanadium steels is their almost mirac ulous elasticity. Today the metal va nadium is comparatively cheap. Yet only 30 years ago It .sold at $450 a pound, and was hardly more than curiosity of the chemical laboratory. When a use Is found for a rare metal, sources from which It may be obtained In quantity are sure to be discovered. Thus, when the value of vanadium for steel alloys was ascer tained, the fact was soon disclosed tlirt vast ore beds containing It ex isted In Colorado. It Is from these beds that the demand Is now supplied. The ores are sandstone. Impregnated with vanadium, and are dug out In enormous quantities. A by-product of vanadium mining Is uranium, from which radium Is obtained. Mythology. Hebe was the goddess of youth, who poured ont the nectar with which the gods pledged each other. One day, upon a solemn occasion, she tripped and fell, snd was forced to resign her offlce. Her father, Jupiter, secured as her successor the besuttful youth Ganymede. Heb retained the power of restoring the bloom of youth and beauty to the aged and, according to some accounts, it was only after she became the wife of Hercules that she gsve up her ofllce of cupbearer.

I am deeply In love with a beautiful girl and wish to marry her, but I can't get up enough-nerve to ask the fatal question which will mean my future happiness How would yon ask the question, and take the answer If it were negative? A LOVE SICK YOUTH. Aos. It Is natural that you should feel timid about asking her, but you cannot keep putting It off forever. The next time you are alone and you think the moment is auspicious, simply tell her that you love her and ask her if she will marry you. That is all that is necessary. If she refuses you, and you feel that her answer is final, the best thing for you to do is to forget all about her as quickly as possible. It will do you no good to brood about It. . Dear Mrs. Ellsbury: I am giving a dinner and theater party on Thanksgiving. The dinner Is at 6, and the theater party will probably be about 9.
