WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Col. Lee
Crandall, who ran for congress on the
Kolb democracy ticket against Gen.
Wheeler in the Eighth Alabama dis
trict, is at populist headquarters here,
fresh from the conference of Kolb men,
at which it was determined to issue
the manifesto published yesterday.
Mr.. Crandall says that Col. Kolb will
be duly sworn in as governor on De-
cember 1 by some magistrate qualified
to administer oaths, and will then pro-
ceed to perform the functions of gov
ernor.
When asked whether fighting would
ensue, Mr.. Crandall said:
The Oates men have the militia to back
them and the support of the administration,
while we have not many arms, but you know
what Napoleon said about the right. Compar-
alive few Kolb men from the back districts
were at the convention last week, because
they were unable to get there, and we cannot
tell how many will respond to the call on
December 1. Many of them are too poor to
travel. There will be contests made in the
house against six of the democratic candidates
who are given certificates of election, and we
will present such indiSputable evidences of
frauds that the committee cannot overlook

APPEAL TO CLEVELAND.

Thousands of Cits.ens of the Indian Terri
tory ASK Protection from Outlaws.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Glover 5000
citizens of the Indian territory have
asked the president through petition
to protect them from the gangs of rob-
bers and bandits that infest that coun-
try. The petitions find lodgment
finally in the department of justice.
The attention of the encouragement
has been called to this strong express
sion as to the state of affairs in
that country. This request for assist
ance is made by the best citizens of
the territory, and not by the govern
ment officials quartered in that coun-
try. 1t was suggested at the depart
ment yesterday that one would expect
to hear something on the same subject
from the United States judge in that
country. 1t was also added that they
expected to hear something from the
United States marshal of the Indian
territory, who appears to be unable
to handle the lawless element. But
not single word from the officials. In
fact, letters of inquiry from the de-
partment to them solicitating informa-
ton on this subject of so much inter-
est to the law-abiding element of that
country have been answered after
great delay, and extracting information
from them appears to be very difficult
work.
The situation in a nutshell is that the
law-abiding citizens of the territory
are asking for protection and citing a
few of the crimes committed against

Then he wandered off to a deserted
part Of the pond to brood upon his
misery.
Keith and Irma, tired of admira-
ton, had skated up the frozen stream
and away from the crowd.
Isn't this great fun?" said Keith.
Its just too splendid for anything

nevertheless, that Archie would ask
her to skate. Why was he SO stub
born?

Keith.

Suddenly the skaters noticed tina,
the ice around them was weak. 1t be-
gan to bend and crack.
I've must get away from this" said
Keith.
They turned around. That half-stor
was fatal. The ice gave way and as
Keith pushed Irma from him he went
down into the water.
Irma screamed. She turned back
toward Keith.
Don't come near me! The ice will
break with you'll" he shouted.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

History of the Day as Celebrated by the
Early Now England-rs.
Religion was the dominant charac-
teristic of the early settlers who came
TO New England. 1t was inevitab BILE
that they should appoint special days
for Thanksgiving and prayer. Still,
they only followed a worldwide prece-
dent, and a Thanksgiving day is as old
as the Hebrew feast OF the Taber-
nacles. Our own special day, however,
wss inaugurated by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth.
In the autumn of 1921, when the
first little harvest he'd been gathered,
Gov. Bradford "sent foure men on a
fowling that we might after special
manner rejoice together" Then the
people gave themselves up to such rec
reation as their stern piety did not
brand as ''of the evil one," and they
Toasted the swarthy Massasoit, with
seventy of his braves. There is no
mention made of religious services,
singularly enough. Perhaps the mar
rator, a MIR. Winslow, who wrote a
book called "Goode Nerves from New
Englande," considered the religious
ceremonies so much a matter of course
that he did not mention them. In the
"sent foure men a fowling," we dis
cover traces of the first appearance OF
the famous turkey.
In 1923 the Pilgrims held a genuine
day of thanksgiving and prayer. Mr..
Wipslow tells how there had been no
rayne for six weeks from soon after
the planting, SO that their hopes of
harvest were dried up with the shriv-
eled rootes." The public authorities
appointed a day of prayer for rain.
The very next day rain distilled soft,
sweet and moderate showers, SO that
the dropping corne quickly revived"
After the harvest came the Thanks
giving day." Having these signes of
Gods favour and acceptation," writes
Mr.. Ninslow, 1--WE thought it great in
gratitude if secretly we should smother
up We same. And whereupon another
solemne day was set apart and ap-
poynted wherein we returned glory,
honor and prayse with all thankful
ness to our good God. which dealt SO
graciously with US. Amen"
With the growth of the colonies
came frequent Thanksgiving days.
They were not held annually nor did
they always come in the fall. In 1886.
we read that the general court of Mas
sachusetts Bay colony enacted that
''it be in the power of the governor to
command solemne days of humiliacon
and also of thanksgiving as occasion
may afford" In 1852, this significant
phrase WAS added: "None shalle pre-
sumo to attend servile worlxe or labour,
or attend any sport on such dayes as
shall be appointed for publicke thanks
giving" All the thirteen colonies
held thanksgiving days on special oc
casions, and during the revolution
congress appointed such days But il
remained for Washington to national
ize the November day by a special
proclamation. Until very recent
date, however. it has been distinctive
ly New England festival.

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.
Why tho Emperor Il the Most Popular
Character In History.

why the Emperor Il the Most Popular
Character In History.
Within the past year there has been
q revival of interest in the career OF
Napoleon Bonaparte that is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been POI
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price,
less all pictorial records of his time. In
esque figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. AS Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again."
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-Prussian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period of great
est glory, and so it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma
poleon revival in this country.
The Csntury's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. 1t
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
tiers in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate
ly represented. For that reason Prof.
William NJ. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student of French history, was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows us
new Napoleon, devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
hended.

cause he asked me if 1 could keep q

''Oh, you would never have allowed

I'm glad it was no worse"
$50 am I, but you haven't skated

''Well, it's not too late yet. We can
take turn around the pond before
dinner time, 1 guess"
And off they went. They knew that
Keith was we'll cared for, yet neither
spoke for a few moments. Suddenly
Archie said:

"Isnever heard one that was" said
the pretty girl, looking up at him.
well, I'm going to divide mine with
you-one I've been keeping even closer
than Keith kept his. for have kept it

Yes, Archie"
ut is this: l am in love"
1rma did not reply. She merely
looked away.
do You care to know the young
lady's name?"
1rma nodded.
"Well, it is-Irma Dayton"
Irma leaned on his arm without re-
serve. Archie looked down at her.
'Now, are you going to rescue me,
too, on this eventful day? Yes or no?
Eyes, Archie"
Nobody was near them. Archie
kissed the happy face turned up to his

Then he tried to get out. The ice
broke wherever he leaned his weight
upon it.
threw one end to him. He caught it
and it sustained him.
Call for help, Irma!"
Keith was deathly pale and the
water was chilling him through.
Irma called again.
Can you hold on a minute longer,
Keith? Somebody's coming.
That somebody was Archie Hen
bricks. He had been near enough to
hear Irma's first cry Of distress and he
was coming now with furious speed.
Yet the seconds seemed like hours to
the waiting pair.
Archie took in the situation at a
glance. Without stopping to say a
word, but shouting: Hang on" he
sped to the bank and landed, skates
and all, at the nearest fence.
1t was the work of an instant to tear
off two long boards and return to the
river. He went as near as he dared to
Irna.

He slid the boards across the ice to

1t did not take long to get him

Irma and Archie he was conveyed

| plenty of wraps to cover him. In
spite of Keith's protestations that he
| was AL right and ''only a little
| moist" he was bundled off home
looking more like a mummy than q
human being.
The excitement of the day had
eliminated with Keith's adventure.
Archie and Irma stood talking to-
gether.
"Irma, how did it happen you and
Keith got SO far away? Didn't either
of you think of the danger?"
| 'Oh, Archie. he was telling me al
about his ladylove-thsre! I've let out

too?"
"Delighted! Only I must go home
was skating. Iguess mother will let
me go-won't you, mother?'
"Yes, my boy-but don't venture
where the ice is unsafe. It's early in
the season, you know"
''No fear of my getting drowned If
Irma will only take care of me-" said
Keith gay1y.
He left Trina at the church door,
after securing from her the promise Of
the first skate.
Eyes, if you'll hurry" said Trina.
Then turning, she saw Archie Hen
bricks at her elbow. She bowed
calmly, but her brothers taunt of the
morning still tingled in her ears. and
she was not inclined to be as gracious
as usual to her old friend.
Archie Hendricks was a sterling
youth--physically, morally and finan-
c;ally. He was junior partner in the
firm of Hendricks & Son, iron found
ers. Many a doting Marysville mother
had him in her mind as prospective
son-in-law. By nature reserved, he
seldom courted the society of the
gentler sex, and, although he was a
frequent caller at the Dayton home
stead, he never paid marked attention
to Irma. However, Irma's secret adj
mira ton for him was great, and Archie,
from admitting her beauty and unaf-
fected brightness, was drifting into a
deeper feeling, which he apparently
did not care to check.
The cordial greeting between Keith
and Irma had nettled Archie, he knew
not why. So his manner was cool
when he lifted his hat and said:
''Off to the pond?"
Eyes; they say the skating is splen.
did. Are you going?"
81 think shall, as soon as can get
my skates. l need some exercise to
get up an appetite for that Thanks:
giving dinner we are to have at home,
If you'll wait for me, I'll put on youi
skates for you"
"Oh; thank you, but they go on quite
easily. There's Belle Parker. guess
I'll go with her."
Archie's first advance had met de-
cided repulse. He turned on his heel
and went after his skates His next
attack, he felt confident. would be
more successful, for he was a famous
skater.
The great millpond resounded with
the ring of countless steel-shod feet.
Bright faces and happy voices were
there in profusion. Never had the
skating been better, the weather finer
or the crowd larger.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1894-11-23

Diamond sparks, cut by keen, swift
knives, glistened in the sun as skat
fed past. Shouts from youngsters
playing some exciting game, shriehs
and merry laughter from groups of be-
ginners, gay comments from their
more independent companions, the
low, musical defamation of the frozen
field-all went to make up scene de-
lightful and inspiring. 1t was life,
and life in its most favorable aspect
combination of health. happiness
and action.
When Archie Hendricks reached the
pond he found Keith Walters putting
on Irma's skates.
Archie was jealous.
Belle Parker at once became the
flattered object of his attentions and
he devoted himself to her, although she
was but mediocre skater.
lrma was both daring and accom-
plished in the art, and she was the OBJ
iect of many compliments and univer.
sal admiration from the onlookers.
Keith, being a college man, was
versed in all the latest figures and
fancies of the skater, and he found
Irma an apt scholar.
They crossed the pond with the
Dutch rolf in a most finished man
ner. They ''cut the grapevine" trellis
and all; they skated alternately back
ward and forward, but the admiration
of the spectators knew no bounds when
the graceful pair did the Mercury.
that difficult figure that must be done
well if done at all.
Archie soon found excuse for relin-
gushing Belle Parker, who was not
his ideal of a skater belle. The only
girl he cared to skate with was mo-
nopolized by Keith Walters.
Archie was aggravated.
Once Irna separated from her part
ner and slsated to the other side of the
pond. Archie was about to follow,
| when her brother Jack took her in hand
and Archie's hopes again were blasted
| Archie's mental thermometer now
registered one hundred in the shade.
He skated fercely. He performed
marvels. He entered game of tag
and led the entire horde of boys an e1
citing chase before he allowed himself
to be caught
