RIGHT UP TO DATE. (Benson's Plaster is Pain's Mastar.)

These are days of records and < if the beat­ing of records. Bonsou'a Porous Plaster, for quickness of action and thoroughness o: cure, has no records to beat except if? OWD.

Benson's Plaster, always the besl, s'wnva the leader, is to-day better than ever. It sticks to the skin but never sticks in its tracks. It marches on.

The people not only want to be cured but cored quickly—and Benson's Plaster does it. Coughs, colds, lnntbago, asthma, bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints, and other flls approachable by an external remedy, yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.

Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or Capsicum plasters are to be compared with Benson's. People who have once tested the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use for any other external remedy.

More than 5,000 physicians and drag-gists (and a thousand times as many non-frofessional persons) have called Benson's

'lasters one of the few (!) home remedies that can be trusted.

Fifty-five highest awards have been made to it in competition with the best known plasters of Europe and America. Better proof of its merits is inconceivable. Be •ore to get-the genuine.

THE H B S T T H A S K S a i V I H g DAY.

I t w a s t w o days before Thanksgiving, in t h e l i t t le town o f P lymouth , i n t h e year 1631. A l i t t le boy stood a t the door o f t i e l o w l o g house wh ich h e cal led h o m e and looked thoughtful ly out a t the woods. N o w a n d then i n t h e distance could be heard t h e sound o f shots , a t every one of which t h e l i t t le boy i n h i s quaint , old fashioned garments executed a e r y of joy , whi l e h i s th in , w h i t e face l ighted u p w i t h s smile .

A f e w days before Governor Bradford bad issued a proclamation designating a d a y of thanksgiv ing for the bount iful harvest and the m a n y mercies o f the past year .

On December 31 of t h e previous year the people of P lymouth had landed in a n e w and unsettled country from their ship, the Mayflower, that brought t h e m from Holland and from England t o New England. In neither of those t w o coun­tries had they been a l lowed t h e freedom of thought that they wished, and in the n e w world across t h e ocean t h e y hoped to have the right to serve God in the w a y which seemed best to them. Embarking on t h e Speedwell and the Mayflower, t w o ships that would seem smal l and mean in these days of great ocean liners, they set sail for the unknown land beyond the sea. The Speedwell proved unseaworthy and w a s compelled t o put back to En­gland, butrohe braver and stronger of the company continued their w a y t o America on board t h e Mayflower. During the voyage they encountered storm after storm and were driven far out of their course, but a t last t h e y reached America and anchored in Cape Cod bay, off the coast of what i s now Massachusetts. Some t ime was spent in selecting a place to land and build their houses, and it was well in to the winter before t h e y were all safely housed, the emigrants occupying the large general building until seven smaller ones were put up for the differ­ent families. W h e n t h e y had arrived there were 103 persons—grown folks and children—but by the first Thanksgiving day there were b u t fifty, the others hav­ing died as the result o f terrible hard­ships.

A m o n g these had been t h e father of l ittle Besolved. That summer the little boy had a good t ime. There had been plenty to eat . The stores the colonists had brought over in the Mayflower held out , and there bad been green corn and wild strawberries, with fish, lobsters, and eels from the bay, and plenty of fresh vegetables and wild grapes and nuts in the autumn. The oorn had grown abundantly, and on this the colo­nists expected to depend for their bread during the winter. The little boy was fond of the corn cakes which Squanto, the Indian friend of the colonists, had taught them to make. The barley and pea crops were small , but nevertheless Governor Bradford and his people, in spite of the m a n y graves over on Burial Hill smoothed level with the sod that the Indians might not guess how m a n y had died and how small the colony now was, felt they had much to be grateful for. Were t h e y not alive and able t o worship in the bare log meet ing bouse every Sun­day, wi th n.o fear of prison—nothing to disturb their Psalms and prayers save the occasional war whoop of a savage in the dark and mysterious forests that reached miles and miles a w a y from their l i tt le clearing?

A f ew days before, the Governor had said there would be a feast and services in the church on October 94 in order that they might show how really grateful they were. The morning of the day o n which this story opens Capt. Miles Standish had taken three m e n wi th h im and gone out to shoot what game they could in the forest. For some t ime it had been very scarce, and there was not much hope of a splendid feast. But .as the l i t t le boy heard the shots echo over the hills, .and thought of the unerring a im of h i s friend and hero. Captain Standish, be smacked his lips in joyful anticipation. That evening, tired but happy, the m e n came home laden down with wild turkeys, geese and pigeons, enough to last the colonists a week.

Bright and early the nex t morning the twelve women of Plymouth, which in­cluded seven young, unmarried women and girls and one maidservant, set to work, and much baking and brewing ensued. Besolved's mother w as one of the busiest, and h e bad al l day to look after the baby, whi le wonderful pies and pastries were made of corn and barley flour and hominy. The fowls were pre­pared for roasting, and t h e n e x t day, which was the 24th of October, the housewives were u p bright and early putt ing the fowls on t h e spits before the fire ready for cooking. Al l t h e best pewter dishes were got out and polished ready for use o n the gala day.

W h e n a rattle of musketry and the beat o f a drum were heard through the vil lage, the little boy, i n , h i s best whi te collar a n d w i t h h i s Sunday c lothes brushed spotless, grasped his mother's hand, a n d together they started for church. H e w a s not e ight years old And s a t in a straight bench w i t h the w o m e n , for he was y e t too young t o be seated on) the side of the church reserved for the men . H e listened w i t h a l l h i s ears t o what Elder Brewster had to say . The elder was a tal l , pale old gentleman, very, learned and gent le , but h i s long words: conveyed small meaning to little boya. The elder prided himself oh preaching short sermons, but a lad of to-day would be inclined to find a two hour's discourse, rather long. Y o u m a y b e sure t h a t t r y as h e would, t h e l i t t le boy thought more' of t h a t t u r k e y o n the spit a t h o m e than be did of the words which the elder uttered, a n d h e fe l t relieved w h e n t h e good old m a n said h i s last amen , a n d t h e y were o n the ir w a y home .

The table w a s loaded d o w n w i t h good t h i n g s . Each housewife o f P l y m o u t h had done her best , and, as they gathered about t h e board, e y e s filled w i t h tears a s t h e y g a t e d o n t h e banquet and thought , o f t h e d a y * o f privations n o w , t h e y hoped, ended forever. Of course t h e l i t t le boy bad a great drumstick for h i s share, and Mary, the pretty orphan girl w h o sat n e x t t o h i m , and helped .h im t o

th ings on t h e table, g o t t h e the . wishbone.

" I wonder if the wishbone o f a turkey is the same as t h e wishbone of a gooee?' said she , blushing unti l she looked l ike a wild rose i n her s n o w y cap and w h i t e collar. They h a d n o turkey i n England.

" Y o u can try*" said the matron a t the head of t h e table , smi l ing .

J u s t then a terrible whoop rang through the^ woods, fol lowed b y others, a n d , m a k i n g a dash for their muske t s , t h e m e n rushed o u t t o find t h a t i t w a s o n l y old K i n g Maseasoit, their great friend and a l l y a m o n g the Indian ohiefs , w h o h a d come to spend . the hol iday w i t h t h e m . . . " • - • • - . • • • -

All day the Indian* came pouring in and h a d to be f ed . Captain Standish made i t h i s business to keep them amused and started them at dancing andplaving games. Theattte t»ygotiqaito1w«Uapr

auainted w i t h o ld , Maaevsoit, w h o « t i n ignity beatde the great Are lighted out

on the common and smoked a pipe and said " H u h " with great satisfaction.

T h e . l i t t l e hoy thought h o w nice i t would be i f Mary could marry t h e g n a t Indian king and be a queen, w i th feathers and war pjaint l ike Massasoit, for little'boys in those days admired the Indians, even i f they did fear t h e m a Utile. The child had heard Mary s a y that , a s s h e had p u t the wishbone above the door, the first m a n who walked under i t was certain, to be her husband.. " She's a n i ce girl, and 111 just do my best to ge t the King t o walk under the bone. I'm sure) he's nearly a s grea t a s K i n g James. Then w h e n we're h u n g r y Mary wi l l m a k e tlua Indians hunt and fish and brings w things: to eat all the t i m e instead of on ly n o w atid then , as MalsasoiHoes*"

So he approached Masaoeoit insinuat­ingly .

" I ' v e g o t something nice up in our house," sa id h e , "and I'll s h o w i t t o y o u ; a l l shiny; m y mother's bright pewter dishes that she g o t in England. - They belonged t o m y great-grandma."

Maa6asoit puffed a w a y a t h i s l o n g pipe and looked mi ld ly and inquiringly a t t h e l i t t le boy. Squanto, w h o usual ly acted as interpreter, repeated what had been said.

" H u h , " said Massasoit, as a ray of in­tel l igence flashed over his face. "Good, good! Heap good boy!" and good na-turedly t a k i n g his l ittle friend's hand h e started off wi th h im. \

The women were a t the windows gaz­ing out when the strangely assorted pair walked through t h e garden t o the l ittle boy's home. Jus t a t the door, however, the youngest paused in disgust. There on the door stone sat the cat nibbling a t the wishbone. She had stolen it from above the door.

The l itt le boy was much disappointed. There was no chance of arranging an Indian marriage for Mary, w i th the wish­bone destroyed, and n o w that h e had brought the K i n g so far, he did not know just w h a t t o do w i t h h im. Fortunately before he could show the Indian his mother's bright pewter dishes, which Massasoit would probably have wanted, the drums began to beat a call for the distribution of prizes, and, grunt ing a n apology, the K i n g darted a w a y t o help distribute the gifts as he had been asked to do by Governor Bradford and Cap­tain Standish.

The first Thanksgiving Day in Amer­ica bad ended and the tired people of Plymouth prepared to retire, some of them watching a t their windows, fearful even of the friendly followers of Massa­soit, who, tired and sleepy, slunk over the hilltops wi th m a n y grunts of satisfaction over a day pleasantly spent—Etta Mat-hies8en in Buffalo News.

M a n y H u n t e r s W e r e S h o t .

S A R A N A C L A K E , NOV. 16.—The shooting season in the Adirondacks, which closed Nov. 15th, has been remarkable for the number of i ts shoot ing accidents. Some of them were due to the inexperience of men in handl ing guns , but in most cases the men wounded were mistaken for game.'

Guides have a saying now that there is no close season for guides , and some of them have retired from the business be­cause they feared that they might be killed accidentally by a hunter. In the number of shooting accidents it is de­clared that very few hunt ing regions in the world can compare wi th the North Woods of New York State.

Some hunters tell thril l ing experiences of having been shot at , though being fortunate eneSgtHto escape injury. One story is related of Sa young man from New York w h o was lost in the region about Child wood.

He disregarded the cautions of the guides and wandered away from his party. Toward evening of the second day he ap­proached a camp so tired that he could scarcely move. His movements through the bushes attracted the attention of the hunters in camp and one of them shot h im through the arm, mistaking him for a deer.

A m o n g those killed was Wil l iam Skin­ners, Jr. , whose gun caught in the branch of a tree and was discharged. The shot struck his head, ki l l ing him instantly.

Bob Owens, a guide , was found dead in his camp near Lake Nelson by Christopher Wallace. I t is thought that whi le clean­ing a gun i t w a s discharged. The shot passed through his bead, ki l l ing h im in­stantly .

The skeleton of a man was found in the woods not far from Low ville. The c lothes which c lung to the bones were so decayed that no c lew as to his identity could be gained from them. Near h im lay a rifle, and i t is supposed that he was a hunter who accidental ly killed himself.

Loren Beoraft was mortally wounded while hunt ing rabbits near Sloatsburg. H e was accompanied by his brother, Lewis, and a neighbor.

Whi le preparing for a hunt . Nicholas R. Samson, of Fish Creek, near Constable-ville, was accidentally shot in the left l eg , near the body, and he died in a few days. One of t h e hunters of h i s party attempted to replace a c leaning rod over the barrel of a shot g u n , w h e n the weapon was dis­charged.

Wil l iam Hirt , a saloonkeeper, of Belle-vue, accidentally shot himself while hunt­ing rabbits near Princeton. H e reached in a hole to assist a ferret a t work, w h e n the g u n , an old-fashioned, double-barreled weapon, was discharged. The charge shattered his right arm. Hirt dragged himself a quarter of a mile to a farm­house and died soon afterwards.

Edmund Clodge, of Peru, accidentally shot himself through the ches t and died in a f ew hours. H e was duck hunt ing wi th t w o companions, when h e grabbed bis shotgun by the muzzle and attempted to pull i t out of the boat. The hammer caught on a seat and the gun was dis­charged.

Frank B. Warden, of Bussia, Herkimer county , w a s accidental ly shot in the stomach and did not recover.

Frank Mullen, of Colonie. was shot in t h e knee whi le returning from a h u n t i n g trip. The wound resulted in the loss of a leg .

Gun-Shy Adirondack Guides. " I for one a m glad the deer-hunting

season is over," remarked an*Adirondack woodsman w h o visited the c i ty to-day.

" W h y so ?" asked his companion. " If I mistake not you are a pretty successful hunter yourself,"

" Wel l , I flatter myself that I am," re­joined the woodsman, " but I havn't done much hunt ing this season. So m a n y of us were killed or wounded by careless so-called sportsmen last season that 1 have only ventured out twipe ."

" But there have not been as many ac­cidents of that kind this season as last," was suggested.

" That m a y be so," was the reply, " but if it is true no thanks are due the sports­men . It is because hundreds, l ike myself, have refrained from going into the woods to be targets for carelessness. The fact is, w e who live in the woods are afraid to take t h e risk and m a n y of the old guides have gone out of the business entirely for that reason."

" W h a t would you suggest as a rem­edy?" was asked.

" A law that would make the man be­hind the g u n gui l ty of criminal careless­ness to the extent of manslaughter, and subject h im to the penalty that now attaches to that degree of crime. The publication in the newspapers of a few convictions in that line would put the sportsman on his guard for his own safety and save his possible victim at the same t ime."

" There is another source of danger you have not mentioned," said a second woodsman. " W h a t is the sense of tak­ing guns into the woods that will kill at perhaps t w o miles ? It is seldom a deer is killed at 300 yards in the brush or under­growth. From 50 to 100 yards is the probable average, and ye t many of the sportsmen from the cities use long-dis­tance guns, a spent ball from which will easily kill a man half a mile or more away—a man that the hunter did not see or know that he had shot. If the man chance to be alone his remains, or rather his skeleton, may be accidentally dis­covered months or years afterwards. I would favor a law prohibiting the use in the woods of any of the modern long­distance rifles."— Utica Obsenvr.

the prominent men of the world will be numbered by the thousands and the child of to-day will be the man of the future. Young men of the twentieth century have as much chance if not more for becoming great as the men of the past. The world in its ever moving course changes, the boy becomes the man and he , who in his generation was called great, must to-day g ive place to better educated minds. A 'young man in order to compete with those he comes in contact with most be equal to them. It is a fact that in ages past this world brought forth great men and if we under our great advantages do not become greater we ought to be ashamed.

A s a result of the deep thought of our forefathers w e have inventions and ma­chinery of all kinds which tend to pave and l ighten our road to success. There­fore, i t is our duty as young men to take these several achievements and use them to the best advantage in building up the great future.

Al though the people of the past have striven to make life pleasant for us , nevertheless we find the road t o success rugged. W e should strive to make better that which w e have in order that a t the last day, when it is our t ime to go, w e may be able to say that w e have done at least something toward the advancement of mankind.
