THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Thanksgiving OF yore
In the youth of the nation,
When the harvest had yielded Its store
There was feast and oblation.
Or, when danger lifted its hand.
From the lips OF the living
There ran through the length of the
land
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving
Our home was wilderness then,
With the floods 10 enfold II;
To-day, with it's millions Of men.
We rejoice TO behold IL.
From the sea to the surge OF the sea
We have all for a treasure;
We are blest in the promised TO be
In a manifold measure.
War fiaunts not red pennon now.
For the olive is regal;
Like birds that are twin, on one bough,
Sit the dove and the eagle.
The clash of the conflict that cleft
We In sorrow remember;
But the fire OF the great feud has left
In the ashes no ember.
For the fruit OF the time is our toll;
For whate'er we have fought for,
Whether born OF the bran or the soil,
Be the need we have sought for;
For the gifts we have had from his
hand
Who is Lord of all living,
Let there ring through the breadth OF
the land
Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving!

a GREAT INSTITUTION,

Bank consultations, enlarged and in
creased capltalizatlons have been a
marked feature in banking circles dur
ing the past year. Consultations are
desirable both from the standpoint Of
the depositor. to whom 1t gives ad-
ditional security and added facilities for
transactlng his business. and to the
stockholder by enlarged earnings from
the increased business enabled to be
transacted. by the minimum of expendi-
lures for operating expenses. The rel
ative per cent Of expenses and profits
is a large factor in the success OF any
banking institution.
We are pleased to announce that one
Of the most important events Of this
kind that has occurred in the north
west is in process OF completion in our
own city; we refer 10 the arrangements
that have been made between the First

about largely by the influence OF Mr..

General Early's Plan,

The death of Jubal A. Early recalls a
not very reverent but nevertheless
laughable story Of him. When during
the war Early was in the Shenandoah
valley, he was one Sunday attending a
village church. The minister was in
clined to make the occasion patriotic if
not heroic. Before him were uniforms
that told of fidelity to the secession cause
and inspired large hopes of its triumph,
so the preacher raised the dead, and with
animation went over the doings of Wash
ington, Sumter, Marion, Jackson. Then,
since he must halt somewhere, when he
thought he had stirred his hearers to a
high pitch of admiration he said, "Now,
if we had all these honored men among
US today, what would you do?' Jubal
piped out with his high pitched voice,
.sPd conscript every - one Of 'em."
The rest of the service was not described
in the tale.-Springfield Republican.

quies Of persons Of distinction hymns
were sung by the attendant priests, who
accompanied the hedysin procession.
Attha period the bedy of deceased
person was always watched by erel-
atives and friends from the moment Of
death to the time OF burial, the wake"
OF the present day being. the survival
OF this custom.
It was a common practice when a
body was embalmed to take out the
heart and bowels and inter them in a
different church to thaf in which the
body was buried. Testators sometimes
made request in their will for this to
be done. The custom appears tohave
prevailed from the twelfth to the eigh-
teenth century. The heart Of Richard
I was buried at Rouen, his bowels at
Chaluz and his body at Fontevand. In
1888 the kings heart was discovered
under the pavement Of the sanctuary in
Rouen cathedral, inclosed in a leaden
case with the inscription, Richard

a Skeptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One NIunchins Mutton.
Hare is q dish never seen on Spanish
table, because in Spain there is super
:stition that hares IN the night go into
churchyards and dig UP the graves and
eat the dead bodies. AWriter who spent
some time shooting in Castillo, where
game is very plentiful, relates how he
was convinced of the fact that the hares
do eat flesh. he had been told so by
the country people. but had treated their
assertion as ridiculous fiction. The
next time he found himself in party OF
sportsman he repeated what he had
heard as joke, but to his surprise every
one listened quite gravely and assured
him that it was perfectly true. They
themselves had frequently seen hares
eating flesh. Ash he still expressed doubts
on the subject, however, one of the COM
pany offered to bet him so hters OF wine
that he (the Germany should see hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
