There once did live a turkey cock.
And he was very proud;
And walking with hie little flock
He gobbled very loud.
Perhaps It may your feelings shock—
He lived beneath a cloud.
"Think and Thank”
Suggested Motto
for Nation Today
“Think and Thank” was the motto
upon the family crest of the great He­
brew philanthropist Sir Moses Monte-
flore. It would be an appropriate
armorial motto for America today.
These two little English words, differ­
ing In a single vowel, were originally
identical. In the Anglo-Saxon tongue,
a ’ thank" was a “think.” Thanking
comes from thinking, and thankful­
ness from thoughtfulness and thanks
giving from thought-giving. This will
be a season of unusual thanksgiving—
for we are made to think as we have
not been wont to think. It will be
a very selfish soul that this season
fails to think of the sorrows and the
sufferings of others.
Look hack at that first American
Thanksgiving. Strange skies, sparse
settlements, sparse larder, savage en­
emy, but thankful spirit I What makes
the memory of the Pilgrim so pre-
clous? His thankfulness I As Howell
puts It:
“It Is no Improper comparison that
a thankful heart is like a box of pre­
cious ointment which keeps the smell
long after the thing is spent.”

He could not speak of cranberry,
Nor mention pumpkin pie
Without a painful reverie,
While tears stood In his eye.
And sage, and summer savory,
They always mads him sigh.
And though in June he spread hie tall,
And looked Hike Henry Eight,
November always found him pale,
Sans Delsarte In his gait.
If anyone would eee him quail,
Just say “decapitate."

on a “rock-bound wintry strand," but
they thanked God and took courage.
They found no gold, but they did find
the golden grain of a first harvest and
they thanked God and took courage.
They round a rude wilderness, but
they thnnked God and took courage,
and furrows were turned and towns
were built and cities grew and facto­
ries flourished and culture developed
and Instead of a wilderness a garden
blossomed and the fragrance of their
memory still survives and the spirit
of their grace still Inspires.

Frequently the great man Is some­

Daudet exaggerated a trifle when he
wrote the following of Gambetta, the
great French statesman: “I can still
see him entering the dining room, his
back bent, his shoulders swaying, bls
face aflame and one-eyed also. As soon
as he appeared all the other equine
heads around the table were raised and
he was greeted with loud neighs of
