THE THANKSGIVING DINNER.
How dear to my heart is the Thanksgiving
dinner
When fond recollections present it to view,
The pies and the puddings, the fricasseed
And cen the old turkey that all of US
knew.
The old gobbler turkey, the proud-feeling
The strutting old turkey that all of us
When oft OF morning he spread his tail
feathers
And dropped his wings down till they
dragged on the ground,
How proudly he strutted and fercely he
eyed us
AS we barefooted youngsters came crowd
ing around.
That old gobbler turkey, that proud-feeling
turkey,
That ugly old turkey that all of us knew.
He used to fly at us and chase us so swiftly
With all the fond pleasure a cross turkey
feels,
And as we ran crying, our hearts filled with
terror,
He would come up behind us and pick at
our heels.
That old gobber turkey, that proud-feeling
turkey,
That ancient old turkey that all of us
knew.
And the old shanghai rooster that crowed in
the morning
Before daybreak came creeping up into the
sky
Was given the honors at head of the table,
| When served to us cooked in a huge
chicken pie.
That lordly old rooster, that loud-crowing
rooster,
That old shanghai rooster. that all of us
But of all the good things of that Thanks
giving dinner
Was one that cen now brings tear to my
| eye.
For of all the sweet dishes that garnished the
table
None, none could compare with the old
pumpkin pie.
That mammoth old pumpkin, that yaller old
| pumpkin,
That exquisite pumpkin that all of us
| knew.
Far out in the cornfield, where soft summer
| breezes
Were rustling the leaves with low, dreary
| sound,
The pumpkin vine growing with meekness
so lowly
Was modestly stretching its length on the
| ground.
That mammoth old pumpkin, that bug
| covered pumpkin,
That exquisite pumpkin that all of us
knew. ~
Amid the green leaves that so lovingly
shielded it
The pumpkin was turning its face to the
sky,
And the sun in its kindness was smiling
upon it,
To hasten it on for the Thanksgiving pie.
That mammoth old pumpkin, that blessed
old pumpkin,
That exquisite pumpkin that all of us
knew.
| table,
We never shall see them as in days of yore
Many are scattered in far distant countries,
J And some, ON earth we shall never SCI
more.
Those kindly old faces, those dear loving
faces,
Those homely old faces that all of US knew

move the cartridges, as he understood the

Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interests of Scientists.
Physicians of all schools are beginning
to realize that the primary cause of near
ly every disease that attacks the human
system is the failure of the kidneys to
preform the duties nature assigned
them.
The blood is constantly absorbing
from the different articles of food taken
into the stomach, various impurities
which if p-rmitt d to course through
the system. quickly render the bio d
unfit to carry on the process of healthy
nutrition and ultimately result in the
development Of disease.

weakening of the body; tendency to
give out with little eXertion. This
symptom is closely followed oy others
of much more distressing nature which
| it is often customary to attribute to
other causes.
J hn Morrow, an eminent chemis:
of Springfield, Ohio, using as basis
| for his work the theory that the kid
| neys are responsible for the condition
of our health, has produced new
remedy which he has named Morrow's
Kidneoids, the purpose of which is tc
act directly on the kidneys eliminating
all unnatural deposits and rectifying
the damage caused by their existence
| The remarkable results obtained by
this medicine have attracted wide at
tention and established a new meihn
of treating disease, the efficacy of which
cannot be disputed.
| Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared il

not versed in medicine, but so potent

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, il
you want to get we'll and stay we'll. Most
likely it's indigestion. The irritating poisons
OF fermenting, putrid food, left in the stom.
ach by indigestion, cause headache, neural.
sia, nervousness, dizziness, stomachache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other we'll
known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and disorders
which are often laid to other causes and
hence are not easily cured. But as soon as
the poisons are removed, all these symptoms
and disorders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them. Nothing sue

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-02-03

IT is the Hon. William Vincent Allen,
senator in congress from Nebraska, and
these are his days for talking, as indeed
all other days are, and he uses them to
the fullest. He is mathematician and q
tabulator, as we'll as detective, and the
results which he has arrived at must
surprise the curious mind. He says that,
Califo rnia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa. Ken
tusky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Ohio, Oregon, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin were carried for the Republicans Shy
fraud" Why did computer of Mr.. AL
lens abilities leave out of his fraudulent
column such notorious instances of Nc
Kinley majorities as Maine, Vermont
Massachusetts, New York and Pennsyl-
vaniaS Why did he not arise to the full
height of his opportunities and throw
himself down thence with crash that
would make plutocrats tremble and indi-
cate his achievement in the exact sci
ences? He has, done much, but he has
missed more than was to be expected.
The trouble with Allen is that he can not,
or does not think. He is fond of listen
ing to the noise. he producers when he
thinks he is making speech about sone-
thing. Anything and everything that
went contrary to Billy Bryan's ambition
and Popocracy, he calls fraud.

DUBOIS SUCCESSOR.

The election of Senator Henry Heit-
felt, of Idaho. to the seat now held by Mr..
Dubois is likely to give novel element
to that venerable but much changed body.
Mr.. Heitfelt is described as farmer of
meagre education, whose sole experience
in public affairs has been obtained in the
senate of his little state, and whose
marked trait has been his ability to
maintain obstinate silence. All that is
told of his political views is that ne is
"for free silver" The combination OF
those views with reticence is an unusual
one, and the latter must be conceded to
be substantial mitigation of the former.
But inference from mere negative infor-
nation is very unsafe. This silent
farmer may turn out to be distinct
force in the senate. What he does, or re-
fuses to do, will be watched with eager
interest.
