HV4 "tt ' 4 ' - "tjft-1 The raw experiment of a jt nation framed from the skcl--r-JkJ eton colonies of the eastern iccboard has proved the greatest suc cess In government the world has ever known. Democracy sits at the tables of the land today. Brotherhood asks Its .helping from the amply filled hnnrris of the American home. These twn nttrllmtes of the American people fully express the secret of America's j nitAn rfl, , miwMi fit t success us u uauuu . the nation lias been In accord with the extension of these ideas. They ere both home ideas, and therefore they are both Ideas that express the Inner spirit of the day of thanksgiving. The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man these were the leading conceptions of the, Pilgrim Fa thers. They are the leading concep tions of the sons of those father? to day. They are the conceptions that can never be made hackneyed by hypo critical use or by designing abuse. They will stand forth In the genius and action of the Araerlcnn people un til each year shall add praise to praise In the measure of tho fullness of rea sons for the giving of thanks. Peace, provision, protection these are the prized possessions of a na tion whose one aim Is to exalt the ends of human liberty, to extend hu man democracy and to exalt the Ideals of human equality. As this nation touches the world at large It does so through Its leading national concep tions, and only when these are vitally assailed can It lake up arms for Its own defense. It has the obligation resting upon It to conserve the true needs of liberty, and this can be done only by Insisting upon the sacredness of human rights and human opportu nities. Hence the day set aside for thanks Is a day of pure and unadul terated Americanism. Into which no alien sentiment can possibly enter. j Hence- it is that every head of the j tmily In acting in his capacity at i e head of the family board becomes & nrlnst of the thlncs made nreclous a the life of the country and of which nentlon is made as thanksgiving fiemes of the day. No more can the notion depart from its lofty mission and progressive Ideals than can tho earth swing away from the solar at traction. The day of home happiness, the day of praise, the day of felicity is a sacred and singular day in the annals of American progress and Amer ican world Influence.

"William Gazukesr the millionaire, who seemed , t be renewing his youth, sat chnttlng , excitedly with the Inventor nnd a I party of friends. It seems that the i Hon. Gazukes had recently been forced, ' through a practical Joke on himself, to become Interested In this sounu ai sorber and to realize that It had a va riety of nosslbllltles. for his friend. , Faxon, the Inventor, had Iain In wnlt for him one dny by the side of n build I Ing. He had seen the millionaire com i Ing townrd him, earnestly engaged (n j conversation, and wishing to demon . Mrate his invention, he had quickly sprung upon a barrel nnd, as quickly, : he had set the absorber In rapid vl- hratlon, so as to disturb the atmo- sphere before the faces of the gentle men. Tfelther was ahie to near tne other and after much consternation Faxon, with a twinkle in his eye, con fronted them. Tho millionaire then became anxious to try It on a crowd, and had secured featg m m frlends ,n mtIe grou,)S , flbout th(J stajanl nu or them being Had Lain In Walt for Him. rlato was to catch vibrations, which ure carried In waves to their ears tl.-rough the Atmosphere around them.

For, as the Inventor argued, wo cannot prevent tho creation, of noises, but we can in a great measure stdp them from annoying us. Not caring to attract attention, the men had hooked the plates across their inner coats at the chest, hanging thrm from the front edges of their overcoat sleeve holes, and allowing tho tlaps of their conts to hang out and' hide tiiem from the side view. The batteries which were to set the fans In motion were in nn Inner pocket ot each coat . . Harvard rooters were busy, alfer nntely,wlth Yalels. The g.jne stood 0-0 for Harvard at the first half. Bands were plnylng and college songs had .nn ciinc Tdxl mil liiun lines and j1inncrs were WuVed in the spirit of nm of tne season. The women, wn0se costumes displayed predom inantly the colors of their respective teams, lent a gaycty to the scene. Tho Crimson had emitted In one I roar "Itah rah rah I Rah rah rah 1 Rah rah rah! Har-vardl" and l'nio was get ting ready. Young men, swinging their arms to gel the Ells to yell together, looked In surprise that there was no response. Again they tried, but could not hear themselves. Everyone was wondering what was the matter. Plainly the leaders had reen heard In the first place, but thefe was no response. No one had Amazement on Every Face. sense enough to close his mouth, not withstanding It had apparently become hrpIprs. for there was only an occasion al sound, as though half articulated, where some voice had not come witn in the ranee of the sound atisoroers distributed through the crowd. "Snv. I shrill bust." eroaned the in ventor. "We .will raise the devil. "We must shut these things off." for amaze ment was evident on every face. "Am I tereft of my senses?" one man muttered. Harvard, from her side, was shout Inc: "What's the matter with the Elis? They've lost their wind!" Kvnrvono was keved to a great ten ion, especially the Gnzukcs men, and all of them wero greatly relieved when, on tho third attempt, they heard the leaders of tho Blues call: "Now, to gether. Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Ynin! Hoo-rav! We're all right!" Afp. finznkoH knew It would not do o interrupt the cheering again, nnd exhilarated with tho nrst experiment, It was with much uneasiness thut ho waited fqr a further test at the thea ni- lntor. As tho game proceeded, tho Invrntor was . whispering to tho inniipnairn; "Wouldn't it be more fun thnn a bar rel of monkeys to take It into tho enllery of the stock exchange when Ki(b wont hpliicr miido7 Orders "would be given and, not being heard, would forever fall to he carncu our. vnni past year.
