To-Day IL Thanksxiv ing day. IL was
Designated by Gov. MeGraw 10 De set apart
e. day OF thanksgiving for blessings con-
ferrsd By Him who ''doeth ali things
veil Although the past year has been .
hard one. j. could have been a harder one.
The crofss have been boantlfas. the kline
have fasiened in the feds. there has been
a good market Cor al products, and though
money has been scarce, a very little cash
wifi 20 3 long way. Even from ustiona
standpoint things might De great many
fifaes worse than they are. Prom moral
standpoint the country - perhaps IN
much better condition than II the times
we're prosperous and. as the governor said
in his proclamation, tbs people have the
consolation Of knowing that whom tue
Lord lovegh lie chasteneth." The people
Of Seattle car therefore heartily thank the
aiser Of All for the many blessings he has
conferred upon them.
There will hardly be a man. woman or
child in Seattle today sho will not ENJOY
q good dinner. For days the preparations
have been In progress. and thousands OF
turkeys have been sold and hundreds OF
bushels OF crAnberrlss have been DISPOSED
OF. In nearly every house IN the city
cakes and pies have been baked by the
score. Puddlngs of divers shapes aud
kinds will be cooked today. On no other
day in toe year, except Christmas. does
the busy honsewifs pus more care into the
preparation of the feast than on Thanks
giving day. The little folks who have
been ia perfect state OF delight
over the ssstronomic possibilities OF tie
Thanksgiving feast viii have their fondest
hopes realized. and they. perhaps, will
take mora delight out OF the day than
ths.r elders. The children ia the orphan
asylams and homes, those who depend
upon the charity OF the City Mission and
even the prisoners In the Jails will be
gwen a feast. Ia short, IL will be gen
