A National

Among the many suggestions concern
ing a national flower, one which comes
from a Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon a ma
tional flower, but let each state choose q
state flower, and have a national bou-
auet," composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain of the states have EN-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegay.
Massachusetts, people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower. The cedar sprig of
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute q needed tinge of green
tottie noeegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend its fragrance, and
the mountain laurel of Alabama would
crown it respl4ndently.

maliy adopt them. and SO would tn,

A PLAN OUTLINED.
Minister Thurston Tells What the
Provisional Government
Will Do.


And VIII Notsurrender Unless They Are
Arrested by United States Marines.
They VIII Not Fire ON the American
Forces, But Will Resist All At
tempts to Gust Them From Control OF
Hawaiian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Q. = Minister
Thurston, before leaving for Honolulu,
told some of the friends OF the provis-
ional government that the plan OF action
had been agreed upon by the govern
ment and would be carried out. The
provisional government has LOO men
under arms who are ready to respond at
the signal of the bell. This force will
not be permitted to fire on the United
States marines if they are landed.
Neither will the provisional govern
ment lay down its arms and
leave the government building upon
a request of Minister Willis, even after
the marines are landed. The provisional
government will remain until it's mem
bers are arrested and taken in. It will
resist any interference by any other than
the armed forces of the United States.
With Its military force at command it
will not allow the supporters of the
queen to enter the palace or disturb the
peace of Honolulu. That is the pro.
gramme, as outlined by Minister Thurs
ton to his friends here before departing
for Honolulu. It is also positively as.
serted that Mr.. Thurston is going to
Honolulu, whatever may have been said
regarding his visit to Chicago and San
Francisco to look after Hawaiian affairs
in those cities.

One OF Bob McBride's Thanksgiving
stories IN the Mitchell Mail, is the follow
ing which has a quaint touch of rough
humor in it:
The bishop thought the capful of wind
was an Atlantic storm and worried the
captain by asking constantly if there was
any danger. The captain led his lord
sh'p to the hatch over the ~fo'cs'le.
You hear the crew swearing?" he
said. "Do you think those men would
use such oaths il there was any danger
of their meeting death?"
The sun set in an angry storm-torn
sky, the wind rose higher yet, and the
good steamer pitched and rolled, and
9roaned aud creaked. 1t was midnight,
and the portly figure crept forward to
the fo'cs'le hatch.
THANK heaven" murmured the bishop
'those meu are swearing yet"
