 You wish to mention our Thanks giving guests As we sat around our we'll filled board with our united family our ''guests" were thoughts of those, who, in many of the manufacturing towns. are starving. We are told of g family who had subsisted a whole week upon frozen apples, and of others who had been days without food. In this city relief was given when the cases were made known. The thought came to me that with many of the sufferers the day of fasting would also be one o prayer for deliverance from the curse resting upon this nation.

dreary place would be this earth
 Were there no little people in 1t; The song of life would lose its mirth
 Were there no children to begin 1t. No little forms. like buds, to grow
 And make the admiring heart surrender No little hands>on breast and brow
 To keep the thrilling love chords tender. The sterner souls would grow more stern, Unfeeling nature more inhuman, And man to stoic coldness turn,
 And woman would be less than woman. Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm Were there no babies to begin 1t; A Adoleful place this world would be
 We're there no little people in it.

Minister Willis Gave Assurance to the Pro. visional Government That It Would Not Be Disturbed For Some weeks-New Conditions.
 PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. 5.-The barkentine Klickitat, Captain Cutler, ar rived from Honolulu with advices to Nov. 20, four days after the steamer Alameda sailed for San Francisco. In an interview published in The Evening Star, Minister l Willis is reported to have said: "You are authorized to state that no change in the present situation will take l place for several weeks. I brought with | me certain instructions from the United States government on the Hawaiian situa- tion. Since my arrival contingencies have arisen about which neither the United | States government nor myself was aware | when left Washington. I have thought | best, in exercising the discretion allowed, l to submit those matters to Washington before proceeding further to carry out my original Instructions. No one need fear trouble, and no lawlessness will be per l mitted."
 | This statement gave the annexationists much satisfaction, and the royalists were much displeased.
 On account of the many rumors current of the contemplated action of the queens supporters the provisional government found it necessary to keep two companies of soldiers under arms for several nights after the Alameda sailed.
 Willis Assures Peace. The editor of The Evening Star requested Minister Willis to submit a statement to the public to allay the general feeling of uncertainty. In a published interview MT.
 Willis said: 'Yes, believe that the time
 has come when 1t is right and proper for
 me to use my discretion in this matter.
 You are authorized to say for me that no
 change in. the present situation will take
 place for several weeks"
 MT. Willis then made the statement
 quoted above and added: II forwarded my
 dispatches to Washington by today's
 steamer, and until receive an answ CT to
 them no change will take place in the
 present situation nor will any be allowed J
 What do you mean by the expression,
 Nor will any be allowed?'"-
 T mean just this-that until the time
 comes for me to carry out my instructions
 the peace and good order of this commu-
 nifty will be kept undisturbed"

SIZE is NOT VALUE.

NEWCASTLE, Wyo., August II, 1893.
Editor HOrSemdn In looking over
some of the back numbers of The Horse
man | noticed communication from
'Badger State" who seems to have a
grudge against medium-sized horses.
He says that l000.pOund horses can be
bought for $50 to SIS, while 1000 to
lSO0-pound horses sell for $50 to $3.50.
Horses of the last mentioned size do
sometimes sell for the amount named.
and sometimes for much less, while
neither Arion nor Nancy Hanks weighs
1000 pounds, yet they sold for consider
able more than he says horses of that
size are worth, and it would take several
of the best lS00-pound horses he ever
saw or heard of to equal in value one
like Wilton, Director or dozens of others
that in his opinion are only cheap little
runts. He argues that if little horses
are any good large ones must be better
in proportion to their size, and to
strengthen his argument, that size is
everything in men and horses, asks why
some of the light-weights don't whip
COrbett. Height and reach are an adj
vantage in the prize ring, and a small
man is at disadvantage fighting large
one, according to the rules of the ring,
but there are plenty of men smaller than
Corbett that can whip him trough and
tumble" and lots of bigger ones that
can't whip him in the ring. So he
proves nothing.
He also mentions some of the show
regiments of Europe, which he consid-
e-s invincible on account of the great
size OF the men and horses, but these
pet niggers of royalty do less real SER
vice in lifetime than some of the every
day regiments do IN year, and bear
about the same relation to them that
dowager's fat pug does to frisky ter
rier. An experience of many years in
the newer portions of the West, where
they We're sometimes put to rather
severe tests, convinces me that men and
horses of medium size or under gen
orally endure hardships better than
large ones and recover quicker from
severe eXertions; in other words. are
able to "repeat" oftener; and there is no
doubt that the smaller horses have, as a
