thing you should do is to be more careful
about your buying. We know that many
of you have been subject to be over

your part would have resulted In securing

in price. LIN these times it pays to be

as business men. One house is trying

few sales, while another endeayors to ac-
cumulate wealth by asking small margins
on multitude of purchases. No matter
which is the best for the merchant there

THE long Venezuelan distraction
has come to a close, for a time at
least, in the capture of the capital by
the victorious Crespo and his appoint
ment as President. Apart from all
other issues at stake, the Presidency
of Venezuela is prize worth striving
for. While the salary Of the Office is
but $25, 900 year, it is reported that
Blanco made $50, 600. 600, Palacio,
the fugitive President, $4,000, 900,
and Crespo himself $1,000, 600 from
1882 to 1884 when he was at the head
OF affairs. So long as these opportu-
mites for Doodle remain, however,
there is not much prospect Of perma-
nent peace. After CrespO has had
his grab there will be more candidates
for the Presidency and its lucrative
privileges

THANKSGIVING DAY.
Its Origin and Adoption Throughout the
Country.

Its Origin and Adoption Throughout the
Country.
The first Thanksgiving Day held in
America is believed to have occurred in
February, 1881, at which date a vessel
laden with supplies arrived to succor
the starving colony at Charleston Dur
ing the following years frequent days
of thanks were appointed in the New
England colonies. At first these ap-
pointments were at different seasons of
the year-sometimes twice in one year
and for special reasons. ThanksgiV-
ing Day was a national institution dur
ing the Revolution, and was annually
recommended by Congress, but after a
general thanksgiving for peace in 1874,
there was no national appointment
till 1888, when President Washington
recommended a thanksgiving for the
adoption of the Constitution. In 1875
Washington appointed another national
thanksgiving on account Of the sup
preston OF the instruction of that
year. In 1915 a day of Thanksgiving
for the restoration OF peace was recon-
mended by President Madison. but dur
ing the early part of the century
Thanksgiving remained an institution
peculiar to New England, but was not
always held either on the same day or
in the same month. The Protestant
Episcopal prayer book adopted in 1883
recommended for day of thanksgiving
the first Thursday in November, and
this day was observed by the church
generally in States where there was NJ
official thanksgiving appointed.
The first official appointment OF a
Thanksgiving day in the State of New
York was made in 1917, but the Gov
ernors OF Western and Southern States
did not generally follow the custom un-
til after 1850. ProcIamations recon-
mending special thanksgiving for VIC
tory were issued by President Lincoln
in 1862 and 1868, and in 1868 and 1854 he
appointed the annual Thanksgiving day
by national proclamation. Since that
time annual thanksgiving proclamaticns
have been issued by the Presidents, the
Governors of the several States, and
the Mayors Of the principal cities The
last Thursday Of November is celebrated

GRAVE and reverend bishops met
in a London suburb to discuss the
problem of poverty. The proceedings
were rutfied somewhat by the distri-
button of pamphlet, clearly incen-
diary, accusing the gentlemen of be-
ing, among other things, well fed,
and suggesting that a portion of The
fairness of their salaries be set aside
for the alienation of distress. The
obnoxious literature was garnered by
the janitor and the Mortified bishops
adjourned for dinner, leaving the
problem Of poverty quite unsolved.

SOME humorists at Carson City
waylaid a citizen, shooting him
loosely in the face with a blank
cartridge and retiring in great glee
when he responded with cartridges of
the same sort that their thoughtful
ness had provided. Aside from the
probability Of the victims losing his
eyesight and the certainty of being
marked for life, together with the de-
plorable fact that the jokers escaped,
the episode was doubtless as merry
as the brainy testers had hoped.

THE recent German-Austrian mill
tary race, undertaken under the
auspices of and encouraged by both
EmperOrs, was a disgrace to both
Governments and should inspire an
indignant protest from every humane
nation on the face of the earth. So
far as the speed and staying quail
ties Of the respective prairie-bred
Hungarian and stable-reared German
horses are concerned the race estab-
lished nothing that was not known
before. 1t was a competition in bru-
tally and barbarity in which the
Austrians won. There is nothing
left for the latter to boast of except
that he is perhaps more cruel than
the German. One dispatch states
that the majority of the German
horses staggered past the finish post
at Florisdorf ruined. Another dis
patch states that the horses were
kept up with whisky and other slim
ulants. Many Of them came in with
split hoofs and other evidences of
horrible torture which have crippled
them for life. Many were killed.
Some had to be forcibly dragged past
the post Nearly all were torn with
spurs and striped with welts of the
whip. And these were all h1gh-bred
horses, nervous, sensitive, and pc
culiarly liable to suffering under such
f1endish treatment. The Latin races
always have been noted for their in
human treatment of dumb animals.
but how much better of in this re-
spect are the Teutons of Austria and
Germany? 1t is some compensation
to know that if such a race had been
run in this country the brutes guilty
of it, if they had been in the army,
would have been summarily dismissed
in disgrace, and the whole country
would have risen in indignant pro-
/ test. No person of even ordinary
humanity can fail to look upon this
race, in which Austrians have won.
except with feelings o. loathing, dis.
gust and Indignation

THERE seems to be very little
probability that Mr.. Edwin Booth
will ever return to the stage. Should
this be the case, the world will lose
the greatest actor of modern times,
the best interpreter of works Of
Shakespeare the stage has ever seen.
To his inheritance of stage talent he
added hard, intelligent and pains
taking study, and an experience
which, beginning in boyhood, lasted
for a long lifetime. With all the
traditions of the stage he was
familiar, and even when his strength
had almost failed him, his genius
was apparent in all he did. 1t will
be many a day before the stage looks
upon his like again.

Charles T.. Yerkes, Chicago is to have
the largest telescope on earth. The
gift is not only timely but appropri-
ate. a large instrument would have
been acceptable to any other city.
Nothing but the very largest on earth
would do for Chicago. The great
school is now made strong in its only
weak place, and is becoming a univer-
sity indeed. By means of Mr. Yerkes'
giant spyglass it will doubtless be
possible to plat the moon out into
suburban lots. If so, Mr.. Yerkes
should be granted the exclusive fran
chise to run cable cars between here
and there.

great many persons suffer from inability
to sleep. This is especially the case if they
have taken slight cold, they cough, roll
toss and tumble, and wish that it were day,
and fret and fume and work themselves into
a state of evaporation. On arising in the
morning they are nervous and out of sorts.
When you take cold, do not delay a mo-
ment. There is no necessity for you to suf-
fer with it. Get bottle of Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure and take it freely
before going to bed. While it contains no
opiates or narcotics, it Will quiet you, stop
your cough and enable you to enjoy sound
and refreshing sleep. If you wake at night,
take another dose. You may take the con-

THERE is one piece of real estate
in Maine which is entailed so far as
such property can be in this country,
says the Bangor Wing and Courier. 1t
is known as Dundee" and is situated
in the town of Limington. In 1868
Francis Small bought it, with other
lands, from the Indians, the original
deed being yet preserved in the fam
lily. Having descended from father
to son for several generations, Hum
phrey Small purchased a small section
of his fathers land, which he named
Dundee" and he stoutly affirmed
that Dundee should remain in the
ownership of the Smalls forever, and
that it should be allowed to become
a forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double its value, but al
though hard pressed for money, he
remained true to his declaration. On
the 2Sth of November this property
will have been in possession of the
family 223 years, and to commemor-
ate this, and also to celebrate the
centennial of Limington, which was
organized in 1892, the family had a
reunion and picnic last week. Next
year they propose to celebrate their
225th anniversary with a larger gath
ering, to include all of the Small
family that can be gathered together.
