mind the people of the great national
feast day, has issued the following proc.
lamation:
In accordance with the long establish.
ed custom, founded on our obligations tc
God for the blessings we enjoy, and in
grateful recognition of the giver of all
good in the affairs of life, I. Jno. E. Rick
,rds, governor Of Montana, do hereby
designate Thursday, Nov. 20, 1896, as a
lay of thanksgiving and prayer thro'out
his state. On. that day let all the people
assemble at their customary place of wor-
hip and give tanks to him who holds the
destiny of nations in his hand, for the
blessings of life and health and the hope
Of prosperity in the years to come.
Let the poor be kindly remembered, and
with loving and patriotic hearts let ms ex-
press our gratitude for the beneficent
smiles Of providence in the past. and re-

The Ladies' Entertain,

The grand ball given by the degree OF
Honor last Friday evening was a success
in everyway. The attendance was large
and the enjoyment general. This was
the first %"function" given by the enter
prising ladies of that order and the man
ner in which it was directed showed the
promoters to be possessed of rare skill
in such matters. The services of Mes
danes Thomas, Holt, Forget, Swingley.
Sturgeon, Rush and Jennings deserve
special mention. The music rendered
by the Neihart orchestra was ''h~eavenly''
and the supper at Mrs. Aliens, trans
cendental. The lodge cleared $62.5O as
a result of their efforts, and scored a
point in the social life of the city which
will not be forgotten.

A Single Encounter Would Probably De
eide the Issue.

A Single Encounter Would Probably De
eide the Issue.
Summing up the whole question,
as between any two European peace
trained armies of the present day,
the extreme percentage of loss to be
anticipated locally. e., on particu-
lar brigades and divisions-will not
exceed one in three (of which one is
killed to four wounded), whereas
for whole armies of $50, 900 and over
one in ten is the very outside pun.
ishment we may reasonably expect.
Compared to the slaughter of the
seven years war and the best con-
tested fields of the Napoleonic peri
cd, this is very little indeed. At
Zorndorf the Russians left q, 900
out of SO, 900 ON the ground, and,
though this is undoubtedly the
bloodiest battle recorded since the
introduction of portable firearms,
Eylau, Friedland, Wagram and Boro-
dino all exceed the figures for any
pitched battle since the breechload-
or appeared in the field. Moreover,
the horror Of the whole thing is not
to be measured by figures of per-
centages only. but by the density in
which the killed and wounded lie,
and the fate of the latter afterward.
In a modern battle 20, 900 men would
fall on an area Of about 20 square
miles. At Zorndorf the 81, 900 Rus.
slams and IL, 900 Prussians lay on a
single square mile, and of the wound.
cd not one in three survived, where.
as, in 1870, nine out of ten recover.
ed, and the Prussian medical staff
anticipate even better results next
time.
But death on the battlefield is by
far the least of the two evils the sol.
der has to face. There is death on
the line of march and in hospitals
along the road. Whereas formerly,
particularly under Napoleon, ten
would die by the way for one who
fell in action. In the last Franco
German var only one man died of
disease for two killed in action. In.
deed, the health of. men in the full
primo of life was actually slightly
better in the field than in quarters.
1t may, however, be argued that,
even granted that battles and march.
90 may be less destructive, there
will be more of them, because, every
ablebodied man being trained for
war, the resistance will be more pro.
longed than formerly. but this pro.
longed endurance is only conceiva.

leaders ON both sides are ~hopelessly

That Peacock Voice,

l venture to suggest a final detail
OF infinite consequence to real hap.
plness n any Encouragement of SO.
oiety III America. Every school ev-
anywhere should have competent
Instructors in the use of the voice
every physician should carry in his
pocket a prompt and effectual rem.
edy for our national oatarrh. There
was a time the rustic Yankee dialect
afforded the type for ridicule of our
new world snarling utteranoe. But
whether New England has in this
respect improved, and l think it has,
or some of u more recent regions
have developed pe%ouliarities of voice
10 much more veXatious as to make
the Yankee only seem better bv
comparison with others, the fact is
that our most distressing twang in
speech today is found west of the
Hudson river. There is a metallic,
unmusical and harsh buzz in the
letter r especially that betrayeth us
to the least discerning of the rest of
mankind. 1t ought to be abolished
by you reformers, even il You must
make a new alphabet that has no
letter r in it. And not only that, but
as we have ceased to be of a sparse
population voices have become
too loud.
Our immigrants of nearly 800
years ago brought with them the
low and soft voices of their English
progenitors. In the wilderness that
received them they felt the awe of
great solitudes and must for a time
have spoken in subdued tones, as
do the wanderers today in the re-
mote valleys of the great mountain
ranges or over the vast plains of
our western wilds. But as the woods
have been cleared away and the
prairies have come under cultiva-
ton and cities have multiplied we
have learned to address each other

incompetent, and both fear to stake
all on a single collision, a supposi.

On the contrary, every leader

mentum of the blow which decides

u in q short campaign of this de-
soription, we conclude that at the
very worst the actual cost in human
lie to the powers engaged will not
amount to more than 8 per cent of
their several populations, or almost
ldentically the same percentage as
the influenza epidemic of 1912 cost
Germany, and rather less than the
same epidemic cost u.s.. To suppose
that this degree of blood outlines
would chain the wills of any respon-
sible body of statesmen who believed
that they were acting in the inter
ests of eheir country is surely too
Utopian an idea for profitable dis
