by the president of the United States OF
Americana ProClamation:
while the American people should every day
remember, by praise and thanksgiving the
Divine goodness and mercy which have followed
them since their beginning as o nation, 1t Is
fitting that one day in each year should be
especially devoted to the contemplation OF the
blessings we have received from the hand OF
God, and to the grateful acknowledgement OF
His loving kindness
therefore I, Grover Cleveland, president OF
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 3oth day of the present
month OF November, as day OF thanksgiving
and praise, to be kept and observed by all the
people Of our land. On that day let US forego
our ordinary work and employments and Assem-.
bic in our usual places OF worship, where we may
recall all that God has done for US and where,
from grateful hearts, our united tribute OF
praise and song may reach the Throne of
Grace. Let the union Of kindred and the so
ciai meeting OF friends lend cheer and enjoy
ment to the day and let generous gifts of char
ity for the relic; of the poor and needy prove
the sincerity of our thanksgiving.
"Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States have caused to be hereto az
fixed.

day Of November in the year of our Lord

Free Text books.

The department of public instruction
has been looking into the free text
book question with view of finding
out how the plan has worked where
tried, and circulars have been sent to
county superintendent, and answers
received SO far from about half the
number, These answers indicate, says
Supt. Pendergast, that the plan, wher-
ever adopted, is more economical. The
returns already indicate that about e.
900 districts have adopted the free text
book plan. OF the counties heard from,
60 per cent report that the plan meets
with general favor. In two-thirds of
the counties the taxpayers favor free
text books, the opposition coming prin-
cipally from those who have few taxes
to pay.

The value of reputa ton, says the
the New York Sun, is almost cynically
set forth by the case of a young literary
man whose rejected story came back to
him the other day from great
Eastern publishing house with a
few words of praise qualified by the
declaration that it showed traces Of
the amateur. Encouraged by this he
set to work and produced novel
This he sent to the same house, and it
was accepted. 1t succeeded, and the
young author soon afterward sold to
the same publisher the previously re-
jected story at double the price he had
originally asked.

QUEEN VICTORIA recently went to q

Just as she was posed the local mayor
entered with bouquet, which he was
about to present in a prepared speech.
He got stuck in his lines, became SO
amazingly hustered that her royal
highness laughed, and just then the
photographer snapped his camera. The
portrait, with the face lighted up with
smile, gives altogether different inn

so rare that events have been reckoned

be the only picture ever taken of the
