A Memorable thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving week vas always a busy
week at the Gates homestead, but it
seemed to Dear that il was buster this
year than ever. She couldn't quite
understand it, either, for as they were
coming home from church on Sunday
she heard her mother SAY to Aunt Mar
garet, with a little break in her voice,
that she had ''no heart for Thanksgiv-
ing this year" Dear knew why, and she
thought they would have a sorrowful
Thanksgiving, or, perhaps, no Thanks
giving at all.
But Tuesday morning there could be
40 doubt that they were to have Thanks
giving this year. for there was what
Tiptop called q bonfire" made in the
great brick v 9 in the kitchen, which
since Dear's remembrance, was opened
and healed only during Thanksgiving
week. Tiptop mounted a chair SO that
he could see into the oven, and shouted
"Firep' and danced in ecstasy till, for
getting that he had only q c~hair-bottom
for a floor, he danced off, and bruised
his nose, and had to be comforted by
Dear lust when she was 81 busy seeding
raisins.
Roundtop and Squaretop counted it a
great privilege to bring In the long sticks
Of hickory wood to heat the oven, each
holding an end, tugging it along with
great gravity, and an occasional fall on
their toes, and if they we're allowed to
thrust a small stick into the oven, their
satisfaction was complete. Dear paused,
ID her hurried trips through the kitchen,
to look into the blazing depths and think
Of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
Then they all stood around to see the
Goals drawn out and the ovens swept; y
when their mother, holding her hand
far in to test the temperature, solemnly
declared it was sjust right" they
watched breathsessly while the loai.cakc
and spice-cake and cookies were care
fully put in, and breathed a deep sigh Of
relief when the over door closed upon
the good things committed to its keep
ing.
Wednesday morning the oven was
heated again, and flled with mince pies,
which came o u so delightfully."- brown
and 80 deliciously fragrant that the
Gates children grew desperately hun
cry, and thought Thanksgiving would
never come. And then such pumpkin
pies, an apple pies, and tar's, and at
last, as the evening drew on,great batch
es Of brown bread and rye bread and
wheat bread filed the oven to the door.
When the c~hicken-pie and turkey
we're ready for the next day, the tired
mother dropped into the low rocking
chair, and taking Tiptop on her lap
looked YEARLY into the fire.
Let me bold Tiptop, mamma," said
Dear, thinking how tired her mother

Romance in Real Life.

From the London Echo.
The beautiful and highly. cultivated
daughter of one Of the proud old Roman
mobiles, the Duke of Gallese, was intro
duced to the Italian poet, Signor dan
nunzio. Her kiusfolk nsver dreamed
that a lady of such great expectations
and high birth could run any risk by an
intimate acquaintance with a man risen
from the lower ranks. The two walked
and chatted together, but while the
young lady's friends supposed that she
was talki, intellectual matters 1t turned
out that the conversation OF the interest
ing couple turned in a very different di-
r1ction. The duke learned. TO his hor-
ror and anger, that his daughter had
dared to bethroth herself to the poet.
AS a matter Of course, he re-
fused to give his sanction to their
marriage, WI Teupon the levers
took the train % Florence, where tney
were made man and vile. The last step
made the duke so indignant that he had q
legal document drawn up, t, which he
dislnherited his daughter; but the faith
err and the man afterwards so far over-
came the aristocrat in him that be set
lied upon her for life a yearly income of
5000 lire. The story has since obtained
an almost tragical completeness by the
separation OF the duke from his own
wife. He accused her OF having secret
" favored the cause Of DAnnunzio. and
of allowing the lovers to hold interviews
afterlthe father had prohibited oil tnrth-
er intercourse between the two. lie
has consequently broken mp his house
hold IA Rome, made 4 settlement upon
his duchess. and declared that he will
henceforth live and die as II he had
neither wife nor child.

COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.

", good man, close the great barn door:
The mellow harvest time Is o'erl
The earth has given her treasures meet
OF golden corn and hardened whes..
You, and your neighbors well have
wrought,
And of the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much goods, perhaps, for many years
You come a tribute now TO pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
Wen have you sown, well have you
reaped,
And of the riches you have heaped.
You tbink, perhaps, that yen will give
A part, that others, too, may live.
But ifsuch argument you use.
Your niggard bounty | refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense are given away.
Loa.rings from Heaven a voice abroad:
who helps Gods poor doth lend the
Lord"
What is yoar wealth? hid have to know
To have it, yeu must Let it go.
fhink you the hand by Heaven struck
cold
VIII yet have power to clutch its gold2
Shrouds have no pockets, do they sayR
Behold, I show you then the way:
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
Bat sead your cargoes on before.
Lol he that giveth of his hoard
To help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day, my brethren-do not wait;
Yonder stands Dame Keliy's gate
And would you build a mansion fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there.
Bach stick that on her VoOd.pile lies
May raise a dome beyond the skies;
You stcp the rents within her walls,
And yonder rise your marble hAIls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shineth one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold.
But in the city paved with gold.
Your hoard is held in hands Divine;
IL bears a name that marks 1t thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made;
With usury the debt is paid.
No moth doth eat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ring out the words: Who ofhis hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lordl
Go get your cargoes under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving Dayl

DAOKTA NEWS NOTES.

Figures and Estimates Concerning the Vote
PolIed at the Recent Elcctlon-The Stay
at-Homes.
YANKTca, Special Correspondence, NoT. y.
Tho returns on the vote for the constitution
have come ia very slowly, but the figures are
now sufficiently definite 20 enable one to figurs
the result certainly within a few hundreds. y
is we'll known that one OF the papers
here was the strongest advocate found
Cor the constitution, and 1t 10 equally
we'll known that the other paper opposed the
document with might and main. AS the cleo
ton was held without the warrant OF law, the
returns have not been forwarded to the secre-
tary Of the Territory, as would have been done
nnder an enabling act. Accordingly, these
papers get the returns as best they may, and
their hgnres differ quite materially. The Her
aid figures ont the result as follows:
For the constitution .........
Against the constitution. -. ...,........... 6,S22
Majority for the constitution. a........ 1917
Total vote ..... .......... 1!,0oI
On the other hand. the Press and Dakotaian,
which favored ratification, publishes q table OF
majorities as follows:
Majorities for constitution .....,.........S,o72
Majorities against constitution /, ...........1,S59
Majority tor constitution.
The latter paper publishes another table OF
total votes by counties. The figures are only
part 'oficiap' and nine or ten counties are yet
TO be heard from. Taking this table / have
added to 1t the best figures obtainable for the
missing counties, and have prepared another
liable, in which is included the total vote for
delegate for 1882, as the figures appear upon
tho records ia the Office Of the secretary OF the
Territory. All these figures, except In the case
Of the counties marked with . star, are the re-
| suit accepted by the supporters OF the con-
s~titution. In the casc Of Pennington county,
the Rapid City Journal says that Mr.. O l.
Wood, q member of the constitutional county
committee, wanted the judges OF the election
to keep q separate box and poll book
for the constitution. When they declined
10 do this Mr.. Wood received votes
for the constitution in 3 separate building.
The result of his count is said to be lit votes
for the constitution, aud rs against for Rapid
City. The result of the count for Rapid City,
rs published by the judges. is PAL against the
constitution and Is for; aud for the whole
county, 422 against and "a for. These are
The figures that appear ia the table, which are
herewith given.

1t will thus be seen that the constitution has
been ratified by q vote of two to one. When
the returns are ell in it is probable that the
total vote will reach 10000, and that the ma
iority will be not far from $500 or 5000.
THE STAY -AT-HoMEs.
1t will be seen from the table that the total
yote for delegate last year was about 3D. 800.
It is quite safe to s1y that our population has
increased one-third during the past year. This
would give about 80, 200 voters at this
time, and IL will therefore be seen
that just about one. half OF the voters
went to the polls ON election day.
Some of our papers are discussing how the
rest OF The voters would have voted IL they had
come out on election day. One sids claims
that the absentees favored the constitution,
but thought it would be ratified anyway, aud
frat their assistance would not be needed.
The other side are equally certain that the abb
sentees opposed the constitution, for, had they
favored IL, they would have been on hand to
yote for it. At any rate. the apathy existed,
and it is apparent that the constitution has not
only pot received the support that was TO be ex-
peeled, but it encountered al opposition that
was not dreamed Of
A glance at the map will show for the most
part the opposition to the constitution esma
from the southeast corner. and that Yankt0n
and Turner counties were the only ones to
break the almost solid phalanx in this corner.
1t was in these counties only that the opposi-
sition assumed q belligerAnt attitude, If we ex-
cept Clank and Brookinge, where meetings were
also held 1t has been charged by the sup
pcrters Of the movement that the opposition
came Only from the most ignorant, upon
whom ex-Chief Justice Shannon aud that old
w~ar-horse, DR.. Burleigb, were able to impose
in their speeches against the constitution But
their charge was certainly ILL., advised, for IL
does not appear JUSTIFIED when Union county
cast / Loo votes, and thirty-one oniy for the
constitution, and when that document received
such small support IN Lincoln. Minnehaha and
other counties. The opposers say that had they
begun their canvass two weeks earlier they
would have completely buried the document
On the other hand, the supporters say that ii
there had been time to follow up Shannon and
DIR. Burleigh IN the crusade against II, they
could havo won back all the converts made by
each hare bis say. y
