The Rev. John Adams, New
Milford, ILL.,, says : Postal
savings banks, in my opinion,
would be a particularly good
thing for the country places.
Take my own town, for instance
New Milford. We are six miles
from Rockford, where there are
savings banks. but our working
people cannot afford to take the
time to go there, and consequent
ly have no other place than an
old stocking or the chimney to
put their little savings. When
these people are saving any
money it is particularly neces-
sary that they should have a
perfectly safe depository and
this would be afforded by the
government postal savings
banks. Chicago Record.

The first Thanksgiving was
appointed by Governor Bradford
at Plymouth, Mass, in 1921, the
year following the landing of the
Pilgrims, in order that the Col
onists in a more special way
could rejoice together at having
all things in good and plenty,
writes Clifford Howard in the
November Ladies' Home Journal.
In preparation for the feast
"gunners were sent into the
woods for wild turkeys, which
abounded there in great numb
ers; kitchens were made ready
for preparing the feast-espec-
tally the large one in Dame
Brewster's house, which was
under the immediate direction
and in charge of Priscilla Molin-
es (she afterward became the
wife of John ALDEN, while a
messenger was dispatched to in
vite Massasoit, the chief of the
friendly tribe, to attend the eel
ebration. early on the morn
ing of the appointed Thursday
about the first of November
Massasoit and about ninety of
his warriors arrived on the out
skirts of the village, and with
wells announced their readiness
to enjoy the hospitality of their
white brethren. The little set
Element, which now consists OF
seven dwellings, was soon astir
with men. women and children,
who gave the Indians a hearty
welcome as they filed into the
large square in front of the gov
ernor's house. Soon the~roll OF
a drum announced the hour Of
prayer, for no day was begun
without this religious service
Then followed a holiday a holi'
day of feasting and recreation
which continued not only thai
day but during the two succeed
ing days"

The sudden death of Henry
George removes from the NUM-
cipal campaign of Greater New
York most conspicuous figure
and one whose canvass has at
tracted the attention of the entire
country. The sudden taking off
of Mr.. George was no doubt the
result of overwork on the hust-
ings, which brought on a fatal
stroke of apoplexy. Death hav-
ing thus abruptly ended his
candidacy almost on the eve of
election, it will be interesting to
note what will become of his

We are informed that the 1898
almanac of Prof. Irl r. Hicks is
now ready, and judging from its
past history, it will not be many
weeks in finding it's way into
homes and offices all over Ameri-
ca. 1t is much larger and finer
than any previous issue. 1t con-
tains 116 pages, is splendidly
printed and illustrated on fine
book paper, having the finest
portrait ever given of Prof. Hicks.
1t can no longer be denied that
the publication of Prof. Hicks
have become necessity to the
family and commercial life of
this country. His journal, Word
and Works, aside from it's storm,
weather and astronomical featur-
es, has taken rank with the best
literary, scientific and family
magazines of the age. Do not
believe hearsay and reports.
See the Hicks Almanac and
paper for yourself. You will
then know why they are so
popular. They are educators of
the millions, and unrivaled safe
guards to property and human
life. 1t is matter of simple rec
ord that Prof. Hicks has foretold
for many years all great storms,
floods, drouths and tornadoes,
even the recent terrible drouth
over all the country. The Alma
nae alone is 25 cents copy. The
paper is $1.00 year with the

Last Saturdays Salt Lake
Herald says : Sturdy Jack
Donovan, ex-chief of police. is
by this time in the Klondike,
with everything in his favor for
making a big stake. Of the
thousands who started to go in
with the rush, the great majority
unused to hardships and expos
ure, turned back, and of those
who pushed on, few were prop
erly equipped with tools, provis-
ions, ETC., and most of them are
inexperienced. Donovan is one
of the best practical miners in
the country, has an iron consti-
tuition, is used to all kinds of
hardships and has enough pro-
visions; ETC., to last him for a
year.
His brother, Mike Donovan,
assistant fire chief, yesterday re-
ceived a letter from Jack, writ
ten at Carter lake en- Oct. 6, in
which he says
II have never experienced
anything to equal the Chilcoot
pass. We have just gotten all
our provisions over today, and
are feeling happy. There are
about six more outfits on the
way, as compared with 40 a
week ago, and they are selling
out and going back.
After leaving Dyea, we first
camped at Finnigan's point, a
distance of six miles; next camp
was at the mouth of the canyon,
five miles; next at Sheep camp,
about six miles, and the next at
the foot of the Chilcoot pass, at
a place known as the Scales.
Now we are over the pass and
camped at Carter lake. We will
next move to Long lake, a dis
lance of five miles. From there
we will go to Lindeman, but we
pass another lake known as Deep
lake, between Long lake and
Lake Lindeman. We expect to
reach there in seven days. You
must remember we have to pack
all the way from the Scales to
Lindeman.
I'VE cannot get pack animals
over the pass this time of the
year. If you know of anyone
coming this way, tell them to be
sure to have their goods double
sacked, with an oil sack on the
outside. They don't want any
boxes in this country. Have
everything put up in so and z;
pound packs.
1.-The weather was very colo
for the past week, up to last
night, when we got south WING
and the snow is going very fas
today. You know how it blow:
on Pine summit in Custer county
Idaho. 1t is no comparison t.
Chilcoot, and you never saw sucl
a trail as is from Finnigan'!
Point to Chilcoot pass. They
charge 40c per pound from Dye;
to Lindeman. They charge s.
per pound over the Skaguay
trail. Chilcoot is bad trail, bu
Skaguay is ten times worse.
II think from what | can hear
and learn from old timers in thi
country that March is the prope
time to start for Klondike. w
