VIZ ~ twenty-five feet
three inches for a running broad.
Young Henry Warrington, writing
home from England description of a
jumping match in which he covered
twenty-one feet three inches, thereby
beating his competitor, Lord March,
goes on TO say: Il then told them that
there was gentleman al home who
could beat me by a good foot, and when
they asked me who it was | said Col. g.
Washington, of Mount Nernon-as you
know he can, and he's the only man in
this country or mine that can do il. :
So if Thackeray is TO be believed George
stands the champion broad jumper of
his time; indeed, up to 1883, he could
easily have won all intercollegiate
champion competitions and most Of the
nationals. What the agile young pater
patrIa might have accomplished with
piked shoes, cinder path, and a nice
plank take off no one can say, but il
s not improbable that he would now
stand not only first in peace, first il
war, and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen, but first on the list of run
ling OTOdO jumpers as Well
1t is rather unfortunate that the de-
tails of this remarkable jump are not
TO be found, but i have discovered a
very pretty little story which gives him
q record only two inches short of
that given him by young Warrington.
In pretty little village in Virginia
there lived u 1775 rich and eccentric
old 70 4
clared to be the loveliest maiden in all
the country round. The beautiful
Annette was Is years of age, and Of
course had many suitors for her hand
and heart Some offered her wealth,
some position, others nothing but love
and labor, but, obedient to her fathers
wishes, she encouraged none of them.
On her 18th birthday the old man
invited all the youth of the village TO
q grand haymaking frolic, and they
came, among them a dozen handsome
young fellows who were known to still
retain a tender regard for the fair girl
whose natal day they had come to cele-
brate.
The morning passed in merry labor
By noon the barns were filed with the
fragrant hay, and all were ready for
the feast of good things that had been
spread under the shady branches.
Now, mv lads" said the old man,
after the banquet was some time over,
I've got something TO say TO you. 1t
seems that a good many of you have
been casting sleeps eyes at my An
nette. Now, boys, don't care anything
about money or talents, book farming or
soldier farming. i can do as wei by
my girl as any man in the country; but
j want her to marry man of my own
grit Now perhaps you Know its and
perhaps you don't, but when l was a
youngster l could beat anyone in all
Virginia in the way of leaping. Look
here.''
He held up as he spoke three hand
some medals.
And all of them won in fair fight"
he went on, besides which l got my
old woman by beating the smartest
man ON the eastern shore. Now listen:
I've taken an oath that no man shall
marry my daughter without jumping

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Territory of Arizona, Executive Of

Territory of Arizona, Executive Of flee.
 To the People of Arizona, Greeting:
 AS a people we should be devCutly thankful for the blessings and benefac- tions that have been vouchsafed to US during the current year. States, like persons, have their epochs of activity and depression; after hours of suffer ing there usually come periods of com parative ease. We should not be un- mindful of the gratitude we owe AL mighty God for His divine favor, and should rejoice over the events of the past year which promise so much for the future of our territory and Ma tion. Arizona has been favored with plentiful rains and bountiful harvests which insure good returns to the hus- bandman and renewal of industrial activity. We have been in the full en- joyment of civil and religious liberty, and our advancement in the arts and sciences, and the development of intel lectual and moral power has made con- tinued progress.
 In accordance with the time-honored custom, and in compliance with the proclamation of the president of the United States, I, Benjamin J. Franklin, governor of the territory of Arizona, by virtue of the power conferred upon me by law, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of November, to be kept and observed by the people of Ar izona as a day of thanksgiving and praise; and I do hereby recommend that on that day the people abstain so far as possible from their ordinary pursuits and occupations, and assem- ble in their usual places of worship to offer thanks to God in spirit and in truth.
 It is day especially appropriate for the works of charity and mercy. Re membering that all our doings without charity are nothing worth, we trust Fthis very bond of peace and all virtues will be exemplified in the observance of the day. That those who have been blessed with prosperity and plenty should remember with sympathy the unfortunate and needy, and by gen. erous contributions from their bounty to the poor, enable all to share in the general thanksgiving.
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused (seaD the great Seal of the Ter ritory to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 18th day of November, A. D., 1896. By the governor, BENJAMIN J. FRANKLIN. F. B. DEVEREUX,
 Asst. Secretary of the Territory.

and skin diseases are frequently not skin
diseases at all. All the lotions and beaches
and creams and powders in the world won't
make good complexion if the digestion is
wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the
liver torpid and the bowels constipated,
the skin will show it. No use trying to
treat the skin for such a condition. The
only way to relieve it is to cleanse the sys-
tenn and purify the blood. AS long as the
heart is pumping impurities to every part
of the body, just so long these impurities
will show through the skin.
Dr. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery
is good for the complexion because it
makes the whole body healthy-because it
clears and purifes the blood makes the
of all kinds. By increasing the ability to
assimilate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches
the blood and so makes solid, healthy flesh.
It fills out the hollows, rubs out wrink-
les and substitutes for sallowness rosy,
healthy glow. There is no mystery about
it. 1t isn't a miracle. 1t is merely the re-
suit of combination of RATIONAL natural
common sense with expert medical knowl-
edge. 1t cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from the
same cause "a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood. Don't let preju-
dice and scepticism cheat you out of your
health. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will positively cure you, if suffering
from diseases named above.

medical truths, send Fl one-cent stamps to

Dangers Il the Baltic.

There is no part Of the world which has
such black record for wrecks as these mar.
row Baltic seas. The number in some
years has averaged more than one day,
the greatest number Of wrecks recorded In
one year being 42b and the smallest 1854.
About SO per cent Of these vessels became
total wrecks, all the crews being lost. In
the four years 1s77-S1 no less than 700
lives were lost. With regard to these
wrecks the fact, however, must not be lost
sight Of that many Of the vessels navigat-
ing these seas are old and i'll found, es-
pecially those engaged In the timber trade,
for which any vessel condemned for other
traffic used to be thought good enough.
Many boats which fail to pass the board Of
trade survey are sold to the Swedes and
NorweRians and run for many years after
ward in the Baltic trade. Sailing vessels
are much more liable to be wrecked ON
these coasts than steamers, and a. the for
,ner are rapidly being superseded the pro-
portionate number Of wrecks is Decreasing
