THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA, !
Executive Department. {

In accordance with the pnblic pro-
|clamation Of, the President of the Uni
ted States, and by virtue of the
authority vested in me as Governor of
the state of North Dakota, do hereby
designate ~. ::s;. r..
T Thursday, the 26th day Of November,
asa day of Thanksgiving.
I Thanksgiving proclamations are
sometimes issued as matter of duty or
custom, but in this year of our Lord one
Thousand eight hundred and ninety-one
your Executive feels that he will not
be able to command language sufficient
ITO impress upon the people his own
idea of the thanks that are due for the
isplendid harvest in this year of peace
and prosperity.
! We haye abundant occasion to give
thanks. The horn Of plenty has been
opened wide and blessings have been
showered upon the people of North Da-
kota. Poverty is stranger within our
borders; starvation and misery are UNI
known. We have occasion" to give
thanks for more healthful climate,
| and more wealth in the soil than can
be truthfully claimed by many coun-
tries.
| We should give thanks for the indus
trial developement of this .state;for the
building of homes Of happiness and
beauty on our prairies, for our admir-
able school system; for the high moral
sentiment which bears the fruit of
obedience to law;for the widespreading
civilizing influence of Christianity with
its promises of joy in the future, and
for the blessing Of health and good
cheer during the year now closing. =
And thanks that from our daily need
The joy of simple faith is born;
That he who smites the summer weed
| May trust Thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knaves their power;
Let Fortunes bubbles rise and fall,
Who sows field or trains flower,
| Orpants tree, is more than ALL
For he who besses most is blest;
Who tolls to leave at his bequest
An added beauty to the earth.
Our thanks on this day should be
from the heart; for bountiful harvest
has rewarded our labor. Let this fact
strengthen our faith in the future, and
with it all, let us remember that we
cannot receive the full blessing without
endeavoring to deserve it.
With continuance of the faith and
labor which have brought success, I sin
1 cerely believe that it will be demon
strated, las the years 60 by that we have
established ourselves in a favored land
where we will, each year, have greater
cause for sincere and fervent thanks
giving.
/ LIDO, therefore. recomend that the
people of this state assemble at their
respective places of worship and give
thanks to Almighty God for His good
ness to us as a people.
Done at the Capitol in the
City of Bismarck, North
Dakota, this seventeenth
i ISEALl day of November, the year
of our Lord, one thousand

How to Enter and Leave a Room.

If there are other guests in the room,
greet each one pleasantly upon entering.
No matter if you cannot recognize them at
any other time. Etiquette demands that
you treat those guests p olitely whom you
meet in friends house. Don't slide into
the first chair you reach, but pass well into
the room before seating yourself.
A gentleman holds his hat and cane while
making a formal call. Try and appear in
terested in whatever subject is introduced,
and never suggest subject which is not of
general interest to those around you. And
when it is time TO bring your call to close,
don't begin to fidget about in your chair.
dreading to make the first move.
1t is very awkward to leave the room
during lull in the conversation. Wait
until you yourself are talking, then rise to
your feet. It is quite unnecessary to ask
every one in the room to come and see you,
and even the friend upon whom you are
calling knows that you will hope for call
from her in the near future without your
announcing the fact.
Now before leaving turn to each one in
the room, make a slight bow and address
ing each by name bid them good after
noon" Do not keep your hostess standing
for great many last remarks, but having
gained your feet, move easily toward the
door and take your departure.
For those who are invariably awkward
and shy on entering or leaving a room 1t Is
a good plan to practice the above rules at
home before the members Of ones own
family 1t will become a great help to
them in acquiring natural ease and grace.

list rural correspondent who had driven
several state and telegraph editors to drink.
One night he sent 300 words about the
death of San esteemed fellow townsman."
1t might have been well to have read the
telegram as an eulogy at the funeral, but
it was of no use to us as dispatch, for
can esteemed fellow townsman" wasn't of
the slightest Importance outside of his own
little neighborhood. 1t was my intention
to kindly show the correspondent the error
of his way as soon as / could get time to
write him. l trem bled to think how he
would deluge us with kilograms if any
thing really important should occur. My
fears were needless. About II o'clock the

To say there was crashing of teeth
around our Office is putting it mildly. We
wired the idiot TO send us some news about
the holocaust but he had gone home to
bed. Then came dispatches from the New
York papers telling me to rush 500 words
about the fire, for they supposed we would
have something concerning it. We tried
to call up the telegraph operator at the
point where lived the idiot correspondent,
only TO find that he had closed the Office
and gone home. We sent reporter out
there the next day to get the facts, and /

A Roy Who liked to Cut Wood.

One of the strangest cases OF Somnam-
bulism occurred some fifteen years ago in
an Oxford county village. The boy nero
of the story was next to the oldest of a
large family. As not much was to be made
on the farm in the winter, and other work
is not easily obtained in a small place, the
father and the Oldest son had gone early In
the fall to a distant state where laborers
were scarce and labor well paid. The super
vision of the farm fell upon poor Ned, and
a conscientious little steward he was After
great baskets of dried leaves, gathered
amid much sport in the woods, had heaped
I'D the great bin, and the house had been
snugly tucked up in evergreen boughs, Ned
cut and hauled the great cord wood sticks
into the yard for working up" One night
he had been too tired TO attend 10 saving
and splitting, and he went TO bed worrying
about it. Not that there was any real need,
for the piaZzalike woodshed was closely
lined on three sides with carefully fitted
wood. only he disHked to have one day 5
work run into the next.
About midnight Ned's mother, hearing
unaccountable sounds below. stole into
Ned's room and found he was not there.
Greatly alarmed, she continued her search
until she reached the wOodshed-
"Ned, Nedr' she called, but received no
response. Wonderingly the mother APP
preached almost near enough to touch him,
still he said not word.
CHANGING again at him she saw the boys
eyes were shut, and. having been some
what used to his walking in sleep, thought
she would see what Ned would do. Care
fully he placed the cord wood stick on the
sawhorse, took down the saw and actually,
with both eyes closed in sleep, sawed wood,
and was about TO take down the ak when
his mother thought it time to awaken him

Thirst in Corpulent People.

Corpulent people very generally suffer
from thirst and need large quantities Of
water to satisfy it. The thirst Is also the
most intense after eating hearty meal.
Just what causes this symptom Is not clear,
but it is quite safe to attribute it to low
form of irritation OF the stomach AS a
rule, also, these people insist that they are
comparatively small eaters" whereas, as
a matter of fact, the most Of them have
abnormally large appetites, and eat more
than others who are at or near the standard
weight.
Again, very many OF them suffer more or
less from dyspepsia, digestion being much
less active than normal The stomach Of a
healthy person disposes OF hearty meal
In the course of four or five hours, while
that of corpulent person does its work
indolently and occupies several hours
longer. Corpulent people are also singu-
larry inclined 70 biliousness, which Is not
surprising considering the condition OF the
stomach As a rule, too, there Is sluggish
intestinal sction.
The popular method of treating corpu-
lency IS by restricting the diet TO foods
which are poor in fat, and others which are
not convertible into fat within the system
This leads 70 a reduction in weight; It also
lessons the work OF the digestive organs,
and gives them chance 10 rest and regain
their strength: moreover, it Indirectly, Il
not directly, favors all vital organs As
soon as this effect is felt, the discharge Of
waste products from the system Is decided

Popularity of Brussels Lace.

After Waterloo II. Trayaux, q leading
lace merchant, turned his warehouse into
a hospital for British soldiers. Such virtue
was not left TO be its own reward. His
good action was noised abroad, and when
the stream of tourists set in again all the
English made it a point OF honor to buy
lace of him, hence in a few years his for

[Special Correspondence

NEW YORK, June s.-The recent paper
on Abraham Lincoln, written by Carl
Schurz, is in several respects very re-
rnarkable article. Taking the voluminous
biography of Abraham Lincoln, which was
written by Colonel John Hay and Major
Nicolay, as a text, Mr.. Schurz has been
able in a single brief article, which may be
read in half an hour, to tell the story of
Abraham Lincoln SO that all of the i'm
portant and well known events of his ca
reer are set forth, and some new and valu-
able suggestions deduced therefrom.

MARRIED HIS AUNT.

Provoking Situation of Young Bride
and Groom in Macon.
A few evenings since 1illman Roberts
was married to his aunt, Mamie Hor on.
both OF the high contracting parties being of
Macon.
The predcament is a somewhat singular
enc. 1t appears that Roberts secured a
license from Ordinary Wiley, and the pros
pective man and wife went to Rev. j. W.
Miller and they were married.
Something or somebody led them to think
however, that all was not well. and that
while the congregation knew no just cause
OF impeachment the law might have some
thing to say, and friend of the couple
went to Judge Wiley ana asked whether a
man could marry his aunt.
The answer was, of course, in the mega
tive. and further information was given
that the law set forth that any such mar
rage was null and void.
The friend at once communicated the sad
news 10 the aunt and her nephew, who will
now probably take steps to have the mar
riage set aside by the courts if such a thing
is necessary in the face of the fact that the
law for such cases made and provided says
That their marriage is null aud void.
MI Roberts Is % years of age and his aunt
Is one year older. According to the mar
rage certificate furnished by the pastor it
would appear that his mother was her
fathers sister.-Macon Telegraph.
