stories to the magazine, called THE Just
SO Stories, written in new vein-fantas-

says, are meant TO be read quietly, and
some are meant to be told aloud. Some
are for rainy mornings and some for loug,
hot afternoons, an some are for bedtime
These stories of Mr.. Kipling's are meant
TO be told "just-so," and one must not al
ter one single little word. They are stories
about animals, queer very queer animals.
Mr.. Frank k. Stockton will contribute
THE Buccaneers OF Our Coast" This is
a series of narrative sketches in which will
be treated the origin. characteristics, ad-
ventures, and exploits of that wild body of
sea-rovers, calling themselves 1.-THE Breth-
rem of the Coast" who during the greater
part of the seventeenth century ravaged
and almost ruled the waters and shores of
the West Indies.
Mr.. j. T. Trowbrdge has written a Sc
rial, Two Biddcut Boys, and Their Adj
ventures With a Wonderful Trick Dog"
This is marked by his best qualities and is
full of effective interest. A lively story of

Thanksgiving.

President McKioIey's Proclamation.
In remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year, which has been so
abundant, let us offer unto him our
thanksgiving and pay our VOWS unto the
Most High. Under his watchful provi-
dence industry has prospered, the condi-
tions of labor have been improved, the re-
wards of the husbandman have been in
creased and the comforts of our home
multiplied. His mighty hand has pre-
served peace and protected the nation.
Respect for law and order has been
strengthened, love of free institutions
cherished and all sections of our beloved
country brought into closer bonds of frater-
nal regard and generous cooperation.
For these great benefits, it is our duty
TO praise the Lord in spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to him our
most earnest applications. That we may
acknowledge our obligations as a people to
him, who has so graciously granted us the
blessings OF free government and material
prosperity, |, William Mckinley, President
of the United States. do hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, the twenty. fifth day

and prayer, which all of the people are in

On this day of rejoicing and domestic
reunion, let our prayers ascend to the
GiVer of every good and perfect gift for the
continuance of his love and favor to us
that our hearts may be filed with charity
and good will, and that we may be ever
worthy of his bene6cent concern.
In witness whereof, have hereuntO set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

SPORTING.
Yale-Harvard HOnOrs Even.

Neither Side Scored at Cambridge Satur-
day---Poor GenerRiship Lost Harvard
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mOthered Am-
hrrst, 1870.
Yale and Harvard met on the gridiron
at Soldiers Field, Cambridge, Saturday,
before "A 900 people, and the game ended
in a tie, neither side scoring. This was
the II h meeting between the two insliiu-
tions since the present style of foot ball
was introduced Harvard has won only
one game of the series, in 1890 az Spring
field, "Dud" Dean and Lee made their
memorable runs for touchdowns, and the
score was II to g. The last game before
this SATURDAYS contest was at Springfield
in 1894, Harvard. Yale winning PA. Crit
icisms If Yale's cap ain at that time led to
severance of all athletic relations between
the two universities.
A heavy wind prevailed during Satur-
days game. Yale was favored by the
wind in the first half and then took the
ball to Harvard's 15.yard line, where IL
was lost on a tumble. A victory was eX-
pected for Harvard in the second half, and
after little playing the ball was carried TO
Yales fve-yard line An attempt was
then made to give Cabot, the Harvard
captain. a
poor ground gamer and was thrown back
five yards. The ball was given to him
again with the same result, and on the
next trial the ball went to Yale on downs
and was kicked to a place of safety. Yale
then took decided brace, and her goal
was not threatened seriously again. Both
teams were strong in defensive play, but
weak in the attack. De Saulles, Nale's
quarter back, was the star, and his run of
80 yards after catching the ball was the
longest of the day. Chamberlain, the
Yale tackle, and DIbbee, Harvard half
back, also distinguished themselves.
Harvard was greatly chagrined at the
result Her team was composed of vet
eran players, while six of the Yale men
had never been in a big game. The claim
is made that social position has much u
do with making the team at Harvard.
Haughton, the Harvard full-back, who
was the nearest TO a wooden man in the
position ever seen in Yale Harvard game.
is said to have been picked out for full
back last spring. The fact that five of the
Harvard team come from Brookline, the
richest town in the country, gives color to
the claim that family connections are con-
siderpl in selecting Harvard's athletes. A
silly performance after the game was the
removal of the coveted "H' from the
sweaters of the men who played Saturday.
This was a degrading punishment I'M
worthy of kindergarten managers.
Yale and Princeton play tomorrow at
New Haven, and Pennsylvania AMI Har-
ward at Philadelphia. Pennsylvania and
Princeton are generally for winners.
Dartmouth smothered Amherst at Han
over Saturday, "a to 0, and the game was
called with nine minutes more to play
owing to darkness. This is bigger score
than Yale or Harvard made against Am
herst. Dartmouth would BE- one of the
strongest teams in America with the coach
ing aud attention given the so-called big
ur'-Pennsylvania, Princeton, Yale and
Harvard.

the new quarter mile track at the boom
town of Bellaire, Fla, when Nat Butler
won the two-mile open race from scratch

Omaha's Queer Epidemic.
More Than 10000 Persons AFFLICTED
with Strange skin Disease.

wore Ihan IO'OOO Persons AmiCted
with Strange skin Disease.
All the physicians in Omaha, Neb., are
puzzled as to the nature of an epidemic
throughout the city. The disease develops
in small eruptions which cover the body.
The eruptons are highly infamed and ii
nally scale off, like scurvy. The disease
was first noticed about three weeks 500
and since then has spread with gre 1t rapid
ty. More than 10000 persons have Ueen
affected.
Every barber shop in the city is provided
with a stlve which is designed to allay the
Inflammation. The city health depart
ment has received numerous reports. which
indicate that the disease is prevalent in the
public schools. 1t is the general opinion
of the physicians that the disease is caused
by some germ that settles on the skin, and
this is about all that they can say about it,
1t is not regarded as serious.

A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is beautiful possession II a woman owns
one, and If a single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste to find and restore it.
Good health is a more valuable possession
than necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem Indifferent until it is almost
too late and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is a sin. 1t is sin
because it is the result Of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and WEAKNESS, inability to

then moved slowly forward again, only
to stop once more, for with a glitter
of silver, de Quesada dashed into the
center of the group and reined his
horse.
What is this that you are doing?"
he asked, looking about him. No one
replied for a moment.
'Hangin' a cattle thief" said one in
English, at last.
"A cattle thief? Who says that he is
cattle thief? Who accuses him?"
"Nellos-Pablo Vellos," a dozen voices
shouted.
Il do not see Vellos. why is he not
here-Where is he?" There was an
I other pause then a cowboy stepped
forward.

Chiquita's brain was in whirl as
she leaned back against the ftayed
cushions of the carriage and tried to
think Manuel has been chased
chased like a criminal. Also he had
been fired at and APPARENTLY hit. still
as the Sonora had said, the way that he
rode afterward would seem to discour-
age that idea. For a man when fred
at to feign to be Wounded in order to
induce his opponent to stop shooting
is an old trick, as Chiquita well knew.
He stops in the hope that his victim
will fall, and so end the fight This
hope seems to be instructive; every
one who knows the trick will, as often
as not, be for an instant deceived by
it. and in an affair of this kind an in
slant is everything. The Sonora al
ready had fallen into another doze Ev-

tive as Manuel. Mastering her cOur-
age with an effort, Chiquita spoke:

asked, timidly.
In truth, child, how should I have
known what he has done? Nothing,

not injured, and Pablo-Pablo shall re-

But he has done nothing" Chiquita
persisted. why should they fire at
him thus?" AS she spoke she raised her
voice, for a young Yaquero who was
passing had bowed to the Sonora, and
had seen Chiquita's black eyes and ad-
mired them. 1t was odd how she knew
this, for she was not looking at him.
