to think that these are representatives of
the American people. l 10 not hesitate
to say, as I have said before, that there
is a certain Southern congressman who
is responsible for the failure of the Sioux
bill last year Because he was not bribed
to do his duty. He regarded the open
ing Of the reservation as a great scheme,
and thought that he ought to get ten or
more thousands of dollars for allowing
it to be so. AS long as hat man stands
in the way. and has no idea beyond his
own %pecuniary advancement or gain, so
long will there he trouble IN getting the
Sioux bill acted upon. The delegate
from Dakota must look into this matter
O ! believe that he will. He is now
on the road for another term. If he shall
succeed in getting that reservation
opened, wen by exposing the congress
man referred to, or bv any other means,
he can count on one steady vote for his
elevation to the United States senate
when the territory is admitted to the
Union. The people of the south part
Of the territory would take a lively in
terest in the successful efforts of Clifford
in that direction. Such a move would
place him in the senate, whether he as
pired to it or not.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

The bare. brown branches of the leafiess
Along the narrow clearings silent hung
The palisade of trunks shut out the breeze
Where purple ivy festoons moveless swung.
The shr II autumnal jay with swelling throat
Awoko the forest echoes with his note.
AS frightened birds in coveys settle down,
And startled herds together turn at bay,
So rose the rude log huts an embrl o town,
Like rallied troopers IN some heree ARRAY
SO in Their midst arose the house of prayer.
On wooden pegs along their rough hewn walls
Hung heavy golden rows of Indian corn,
Contented cattle in their guarded stalls
Chewed slow the golden straw of summer
born,
And peace and plenty from the new.turned
Drew out mans loving soul in praise to God.
Such simple folk they we're and plainly clad.
The ma dens kerchief and the matron's
gown,
In somber garments sadly black or brown.
Life meant so much and death so little then,
And God and angels dwelt so near to men,
So in the autumn time they gathered there,
The wide eyed babe, the maid, the old
grandsire,
Above the forest rose their plaintive PRAYER,
Beyond the seas they bore the altar fire
Bright be the flame nations breath shall
fan,
The beacon fire of God and hope of man,
This was the footprint on a savage strand,
And this of God great hymn the op'ning
chord,
Now tramplng millions westward Ger the
land
March TO the cheering music of the Lord.
The beating waves along Atlantc'S side
Chime with the music of Pacific's tide.
But fifty millions blest in mart or field
No purer gratitude can give to God,
Nor brighter glory of our land snail yield
Than that upsprlnging from New England
sod.
Though cold and barren. There was sown
that day
The seed whose harvest never shall decay.

DRUM MER'S BILLS.
Difference in Expense Accounts of Com
mercial Travellers.

mercial Travellers.
80, yes; there's difference in
travelling men," said a Franklin street
merchant. "Some men will take a
thousand-mile trip, visit all the promi-
nent points in four or five States and
return home with an expense account
of about 81 day, while others will 60
over the same territory and spend Sc
or 81 a day. The man who gets over
the country in the shortest time, makes
the most sales and returns to the house
with the smallest expense account is,
of courses valuable agent. The ex.,
pensive drummer is sometimes of great
value in spite of his prodigality. AS a
rule he makes many friends, is more
liked by the customers and gives the
house by whom he is employed GER
tain amount of eclat in towns where
eclat goes a long way. Then. too. the
expensive drummer is very often a
good salesman, so that, taking it all in
all, his extravaganza is overtopped by
his general worth.
There are drummers, however, who
travel too cheaply. Wouldn't believe
that, would you? There are a great
number of them, however. They stop
atsecond class hotels, take their nights
lodging in a smoking Car, and fit
around the country as though they had
wings. 1t costs them about $3.50 a
day to live, but they send in an expense
bill of at least 81 day. What do they
do with the differenceP Pocket it, of
course. AS soon as firm finds out
that one of its men is doing this sort
of thing it discharges him in short or
der. for it isn't business, you know,
and then, besides, it isn't just right. ~
