sometimes is in mild, amiable and
benevolent mood, and at others is blood
thirsty and cruel. There are tribes
who believe the spirit of the deity en-

they render to this brute divine
homage. These tribes have a
priesthood set apart to the
worship of this deity. Their duties are
to hold communion with the
SPIRIT IN THE CROCODILE

the people. The incoati, or high priest
seldom makes his revelations direct to
the people, but generally through sub
ordinates. The incoati is provided
with sanctuary in which he holds
communion with the deity. This sane

Two Important Measures.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Senator
Blair OF New Hampshire says he pro-
poses TO push his bill through Con
gress during the coming season if
possible. He does not anticipate any
serious opposition in the Senate, but
he fears that the Democrats in the
House will again try to defeat it by
dilatory tactics. He says he believes
there are more people in favor of his
bill now than there were one year ago.
He has discovered wonderful senti-
ment in every direction in favor of it,
and he believes that success will at
tend the efforts of the friends of the
measure if they only pull together
during the coming Congress.
He also says that national election
law should be passed, and he will dc
all in his power to bring about that
result. He has been gathering data
on these subjects during the past
summer. The Senator's observations
on the late election frauds in Virginia
will be apt to stir up the Southern
Democratic bulldoZers.

THE DELIGHTS OF HOME.

"Will you tell us your name, dear?"
said Mrs. Wilkins to the child, as she
took her in her arms.
"Name, Nellie" said she, and, sure
enough, her gold pin was SO engraved.
Mary" 'ride," doggy" and ''big
man." were all she could say plainly
about where she had been. Perhaps no
one could understand her sweet prattle
but her mother. At the thought of that
sorrowing woman, Mrs. Wilkins said
with tears in her eyes:
go Samuel, I'm just grieved thinkin'
about this baby's mother. When can we
send word?"
"Likes not some one'll be goin' to town
in the mornin', Mirandy," he replied.
After drinking a cup of tea which his
wife had prepared while he worked, Mr..
Wilkins started out to get his horse and
sleigh under cover. This done, he pre-
pared for pleasant evening with his
family. After the children had asked
questions to their hearts content about
his adventure, the talk drifted around to
themselves.
"We haven't had any Thanksgiving,
father" said Elsie, as she sat on his knee.
81 think we have, child" said Mrs.
Wilkins. 'tJsn't it Thanksgivin' enough
to see father back safe? That's better
than all the dinners we could eat"
'Never mind, Elsie; we'll keep Thanks
givin' to-morrer, said her father. Il
don't know s it makes much difference
when we keep it es long es we're thank
full enough"
can have lots to eat" put in Bob.
"What did you bring us, father"
"You jest wait till morning an see,
Bob," said Mrs. Wilkins.
When morning came they found the
oranges and raisins and all the good
things, even to the figs, and to tell of
what a feast they had, and how jolly
they were, and how the little stranger
enioyed it with them, would be a long
story.
1t was not hard to interest their near
est neighbor in the lost child, and, as he
had kept Thanksgiving on the right day,
he volunteered to go at once to town.
1t was found that servant had gone to
walk with little Nellie and Nero, the
dog, little distance up the road, she
had said. They had not returned, but
the girl was last seen riding with a
stranger whose slouched hat prevented
his being recognized. Nothing definite
was ever found out, but it was con-
iectured that she, wanting to be rid of
the child and dog without going home,
had left them in the old ice house, sup
posing that the dogs barking would at
tract attention from passers-by.
The grateful parents insisted on doub-
ling the reward when they learned how
much Mr. Wilkins had done to find little
Nellie. The sum seemed like a fortune
to the poor farmer. He bought more
land with it, and very good land it
proved to be, so good that it made life
less hard for the Wilkins family. Little
luxuries, hitherto unknown, became pos
sible, and there never was time when,
from a pecuniary as well as moral
point of view, Mr.. Wilkins was not glad
he had fought his way through the
drifts into the icehouse at the call of the
dog and so saved the little one that was
lost.

filled with drifts, which lay thick be-
tween it and the road. He couldn't get
through easily. 1t would hinder him in
his journey, too. Perhaps he wouldn't
see home that night, he said to himself.
So he drove on.
What made him connect that dogs
barking with the story of the lost child
He couldn't seem to get rid of that. he
stopped, and again measured the dis
tance and the height of the drifts, de-
cided that it wasn't worth while to get

tried to make himself believe, and again
started.
"What if it was your child?" The
thought stung him.
swell, here goes" he said, and suited
the action to the word by covering his
horse wit. the sleigh roGe a:id str.ka's
out for the house. It Yves st:aGSie
even for the hardy farmer. As he neated
the place the barking grew louder. The
door on the side toward him was almost
covered, so he made for the rear. Ihat
had been sheltered from drifts by the
building. and small door was accessible
there. As he opened it a handsome New
foundland dog rushed out, jumping on
him and whining for joy. Mr.. Wilkins

see nothing. but the dog pulled him

was to revive her Being utterly ex-
hausted, all he could do at first was to
fold her in his arms under his overcoat.
Presently he started for the sleigh, fol-
lowed by the faithful dog whose devo-
ton had perhaps saved the child's life.
He was anxious to reach the sleigh. for
he had bethought himself of bottle OF
milk which his host had put UP with a
lunch for him. That and the air seemed
to revive the child. She chung to him

ing, two days before Thanksgiving, for
which great occasion he was going to
town, twenty miles away, to "do some
tradin'."
He told the children, Bob and Elsie,
that he would come back with lots of
things-peanuts and raisins, and perhaps
some oranges, besides other eatables
necessary for the Thanksgiving feast.
How the little ones shouted at the
mention of oranges, for you must know
that such dainties seldom fell to their
share. Hard work, early and late, on
the little farm, only sufficed to keep the
family plainly clothed and fed, and they
had very few luxuries.
AS the sleigh logged along the man
fell to thinking of the dear ones who
would watch for his return on the NOR
row.
'I'll give 'em good Thanksgivin II

ily that deserves it more. Wisht l

The miles to town grew less as the
horse went on, and the influence of the
brilliant winter day made Mr.. Wilkins
happy. not so much because he was sus-
ceptible to natures beauty, but because
he thought: '.If this here weather'll only
hold out. I'll be back early ter-morrer.
Mrs. Wilkins spent the day in getting
ready for the feast, with such material
as she had on hand. She killed the big
gest and plumpest chicken in the ya.I,

The first Thanksgiving held on
American soil was by the Pilgrim
Fathers, in the year 1921, shortly af-
ter they landed at Plymouth rock.
The first National Thanksgiving
proclamation was issued by Presi-
dent Madison in 1915 on account of
the peace which closed the war of 49,
II. For forty-eight years no such
day was observed, until the custom
was revived by Lincoln in 1868. In
that year President Lincoln sent a
message to congress recommending
the observance of national day OF
thanksgiving, not only on account OF
the victories which had followed the
Union arms, but also for the plenti-
full harvest. Since then the custom
has taken deep root in many parts OF

keeping her own hopes up, and she sue

Thanksgiving morning.
Wednesday had passed slowly to Mr..
Wilkins in the dingy little hotel where
he was staying. When he started for
home early on the following morning
the hangers on about the door forboded
all sorts of evil results to his "foolhardy
notion" of trying to get through such
snow, but he persisted in going.
"Seems es if must" he told them.
It was hard work-harder than he had
expected, but old Bess was strong
horse, and he himself used to rough
weather.
Twelve miles were travelled without
incident or accident. The rest of the
way was lonely enough, some of it skirt
ing woods and leading through glens.
It was Wild, beautiful drive in sum-
mer, but desolate in winter. AS MIR,
| Wilkins drove on, thoughts of an event
of which he had heard in town recurred
| to his mind: "Judge Carter's little girl
was lost missing since Tuesday; servant
took her to walk; neither of them seen
since; thousand dollars reward!'
These had made little impression on the
busy man at the time, but now, in the
quiet of that lonely drive, they came
back in fragments. He thought of his
own little ones and of the awful weather
that had prevailed since Tuesday, the
day he had left home.
He was startled from his reverie by
the sharp barking of dog. 1t seemed
to come from an old building off from
the road, which, situated near pond,
had once been used as an ice house. He
listened. Yes, that was the place from
which the noise came, and the barking
sounded as if something unusual had
happened. The ice house was deeply

Some Democratic Journals are still
laboring to show that the recent Re-
publican reverses were all owing to
the tariff issue. One, though a cor
respondent, states that the farmers OF
Iowa are only receiving about one
half for their hogs and cattle as they
did last year. Isn't this all very
funny, seeing that there has been no
changes in our tariff laws since last
year nor for several years previous.
The simple cause of these defeats
lays in the "bossism that prevails
under the present administration,
everywhere. This may be unpalata-
BILE but it is the truth all the same.
