Full Text of the Presidents Thanks
giving ProcIamation-Puyallup
Indian Reservation.

1t was expected that the vexed ques-
tions regarding the Puyallup Indian
reservation at Tacoma would be settled
by the commission which was sent out
there by an act of the last Congress, but
it seems that this commission has not
done what they were expected to do,
and the question at issue is as far from
settlement as before. The Indians have
bargained away some of their most val
uable lands. Their lands are needed
for the development of Tacoma as a city,
and they are useless to the Indians, ex-
cept for what they can get for them.
The matter of the individual and tribal
rights Of the Indians was supposed to be
determined by the commission, also the
rights OF the men who have bargained
with the Indians for their lands. but
the commissions report, now with the
Secretary, is far from satisfactory, and
will be little or no help in aiding him to
make a recommendation to Congress.
The Puyallup matter will have to be
fought all over again this winter.
The full textof the Presidents thanks
giving proclamation is as follows: Ii is
a verv glad incident to the marvellous
prosperity which has crowned the year
now drawing to a close that its helpful
and reassuring touch has been felt by
all the people. 1t has been as wide as
orr country, and so special that every
home has felt it's influence. 1t is too
great to be the work of mans power,
and too particular to be the device OF
his mind To God, the benefcent and
allwise, who makes the labors of men to
be fruitful, redeems their losses by his
grace, and the measure of his giving is
is as much beyond the thoughts of man
as it is beyond his deserts, the praise
and gratitude of the people of
this favored nation are due. Now,
therefore, l, Benjamin Harrison, Presi-
dent of the United States of America,
do hereby appoint Thursday, the 26th
day of November, to be day of thanks
giving to God for the bounties of his
providence, for the peace in which we
are permitted to enjoy them, and for
the preservation of these institutions OF
civil and religious liberty which he gave
our fathers the wisdom to devise and es-
tablish, and us the courage to preserve.
Among the appropriate observances OF
the day are rest from toll, the renewal
of family ties about our American fire.

who suffer lack of the body or of spirit.

why BE Wasn't Shot ON the First Night
and How He Escaped on the Second.
Congressman Grain. who represents
the Galveston district Of Texas, tells
some remarkable stories of poker play
ing in that state during war time. II
was an epoch there of lawlessness and
mob rule, and personal bravery was the
quality Of leadership. One night he
was playing in a game with three OF
four Others, one Of them a Desperate
named Boyd The latter took ad-
vantage of the conviviality of the pro-
ceedings to hold out a card. and Grain
saw him do IT, On the spur Of the mo-
ment Grain said. Boyd, you are cheat
ingl"
II was a foolish thing 10 do, unless
with pistol in hand, because it meant
immediate murder. But, to the sur
prise Of every one, Boyd simply turned
very pale laughed and replied. ''Crain
boards at my house, you know. and so
l can't afford to shoot him"
The next evening Boyd came unin-
vited into Grains room, where some
other men were, and offered to play
Grain a game of two handed freeze
out" The latter assented and they sat
down at the table, while the rest drew
their chairs back and waited for the
tragedy they supposed was coming. A
few minutes later Boyd again cheated,
so openly that he doubtless intended to
be caught, and Grain at once charged
him with the offense.
Immediately Boyd leaped to his feet,
seized two chairs and threw them into
the air. One of them struck BOYD as
it fell. and he drew the pistol he had
ready, crying, Grain, you hit me with
a chairl"
Like a fash, says Grain, In telling
the story. my instinct as a criminal
