Know all men by these presents that
We turkeys do protest
Against an annual outrage which
Brings sorrow to the nest.
We think it most becoming for
A nation to give thanks,
But we object in firm tones when
1t cuts into our ranks.
Think of the widowed ones, and think
Of orphans in the flock,
Who must this year with sadness view
The cruel chopping block.
So now, good people, we request,
Our pleadings may be heard,
And if you must give thanks and
feast
Please kill some other bird.

Embroidered velvet wraps.

Embroidered velvet is the very new
est thing for evening and dressy wraps
An exceedingly smart garment, very
French in appearance, is of green vel
vet, and crosses under the arms to the
back, where it is finished with long,
black satin sashes. These sashes and
the lower edge of the garment itself
are trimmed with lounces of black
chiffon, while the velvet is studded with
immense jetted balls. Another gar
ment is bloused all around under a
belt and has large bishop sleeves. What
gives it its decidedly unique air, how
ever, is the embroidery which covers
it. This embroidery is all done in
inch wide black MORE ribbon. The
ribbon is not set on plain, but is verv

full and stitched down on each edge.
AS the design is carried out in large
scrolls, of course the garment would
not become a small person. If you
have silk bodice that is too light TO
wear late in the fall, veil it with black
or dark blue chiffon put on full. A
novel idea is to veil the entire back
and one-half of the front, starting the
latter on the left shoulder and bring
ing it down to finish on the right side
at the belt. Of course. you understand
that the effect is that of a surplice.-

Opera Bag Frames

The newest opera bags now have
frames. The long lorgnette bag, soft
and pliable. made to draw up with
ribbon and be slipped over the arm of
the owner, is no longer in vogue. The
frames of the new bags are of gold
or silver, richly chased. Some have
panels of mother-of-pearl or the pop
ular jade stone. Paris supplies these
frames all ready for the silk to be
fitted to them, and New York jewel
Ter also has them in stock. Brocaded
silk, in rich colors, is chosen for the
outside of the bag, and between that
and the lining a subtle sachet of pow
der is quilted. These new importa-
lions look short and squatty if COM
pared with last years frames.

Talking Of days gone by
To the small granddaughter close a.
her knee,
Eager and bright Of eye.
"And only think she finished. dear,
That sad Thanksgiving morn
All that the Pilgrims had to eat
Was, each one, five grains Of corn"
Out from his corner grandfather
Put in a quavering word:
You're wrong, Priscilla Ann, you're
wrong,
Twas six, I've always heard"
"Pshaw, father. you've forgotten it.
No, child, twas only five"
Priscilla Ann, say twas six,
AS sure as you're alive!"
"Twa'n't sikh" Twas. tool" why.

But what I know twas sikh" "Oh

What silly foolishnessi"
HrlSCllld Ann. eS, IdLler! S1Xs
The small granddaughter stared.
Then, crying, ran away. There, now,
You've got the poor lamb scared!"
81 hain't!" you have!" Here was
begun
A very pretty quarrel,
But that their daughter came in haste
To hear and point moral.
Why father mother! quarreling,
And on Thanksgiving Day!
And all about grain of corn;
That's foolish. don't you say?"
The old folks looked abashed. "'Twas
ski"
"'Twas fve!" why. no, twas
four"
And then it really looked as though
'Twould all begin once more.
Till grandma, gulping down her wrath,
Said, well, they hadn't many;
But, sakes alive! if they hadn't five.
I'm thankful they had any"

But why do keep Thanksgiving,

But why do I keep Thanksgiving,
Did hear you Alright, my dear?
Why? When I'm all alone in life,
Not a chick nor child to be near,
Johns folks all away in the west,
Lucy across the sea,
And not a soul in the dear old home
Save little bound girl and me?
1t does look lonesome, grant it;
Yet strange as the thing may sound,
I'm seldom in want of company
The whole of the merry year round
There's spring when the lilac bios
SONS,
And the apple trees blush to bloom,
There's summer when great moths fit
and glance
Through the twilight's star-lit gloom.
Then comes the beautiful autumn,
When every fragrant brier,
Flinging it's garlands on fence and
wall,
Is bright as living fire;
And then the white. still winter time,
When the snow lies warm on the
wheat,
And I think Of the days that have
passed away,
When my life was young and sweet.
I'm a very happy woman
Today, though my hair Is white,
&or some of my troubles I've overlived,
And some 1 keep out of sight.
I'm a busy old woman, you see, my
dear,
AS l travel along lifes road,
I'm always trying as best l can
To tighten my neighbours load.
That child? You should think she'd
try me?
Does she earn her bread and salt?
You've noticed she's sometimes indo-
lent,
And Incidence is a fault;
Of course it is, but the orphan girl
Is growing as fast as she can,
And to make her work from dawn to
dark
Was never a part of my plan.
I like to see the dimples
Flash out on the little face.
That was wan enough, and still enough
When first she came to the place.
1 think she'll do. when she's older;
A kitten is not oct;
And now that 1 look at the thing, my
dear
Ithope she'll never be that.
I'm thankful that life is peaceful;
1 should just be sick of strife,
If, for instance, had to live along
Like poor Job Slocum's wife;
I'm thankful 1 didn't say YES" my
dear
What saved me do not see
When Job, with a sprig in his button
hole,
Once came accounting me.
I'm thankful I'm neither poor nor rich,
Glad that I'm not in debt;
That owe no money 1 cannot pay,
And so have no call to fret.
I'm thankful so many love me,
And that I've so many to love,
Though my dearest and nearest are all
at home,
In the beautiful land above.
/ shall always keep Thanksgiving
In the good-old fashioned way.
And think of the reasons for gratitude
In December, and June, and May,
In August, November, and April,
And the months that come between;
For God is good, and my heart is light,
And I'd not change place with a
queen.

two districts, the Southern district to
remain under the present jurisdiction,
while the Northern district, including
the gold region. is to be placed under a
form of military government until con.
gress can make other provisions.
The place selected by the captain for

BERLIN, Oct. 27.-The refusal of the

cised by the German press. The Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, as
announced by the Carlsruhe Official
Gazette, and cabled exclusively to the
Associated Press, received reply from
the czar saying that his majesty had
already made arrangements covering
every day until his departure from
Darmstadt, and, therefore, his majesty
would be unable to receive them. The
government issued orders forbiddinq
the telegraphing Of any comments on
this subject and it's gravity may be
guaged when it is added that many of
the German newspapers regard the oc.
currence as an insult to the whole no.

Congress Meets.
Mutiny Among Spanish Troops
About to Embark For
Duty in Cuba.

: MADRID, Oct. 27.-The Spanish gov.
srnment refuses to furnish for publica.
ton the text of the note of Spain which
has been handed to the United States
minister here, General Stewart L.
munication which the general placed
in the hands of the Duke Of Tetuan,
early in September last, when the latter
was minister for foreign affairs, on the
subject Of the insurrection in the island
of Cuba.
The United States minister admits
having received Spain's reply to the
note of the United States, but he de-
clines to discuss the matter beyond say
ing that the text of the Spanish answer
will be Immediately transmitted to
Washington. ~
From other sources it was learned
that the officials of the United States
legation were engaged in translating
Spain's answer, and it was reported
that the United States minister would
cable to Washington at once the full
text of the Spanish note.
Although the government Of Spain
the United States on the subject of
Cuba, it was officially announced that
the reply of the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, is on the
following lines:
Protests Against Tilibustering.
1t expresses regret at the fact that the
insurrection in Cuba "receives support
from frequent flibustering expedi-
tions," and that otherwise the rebellion
in Cuba would possibly not exist. It is
hoped by, the Spanish government that
by granting autonomy to Cuba and the
withdrawing Of American support of
the insurgents the insurrection will
shortly be ended.
It is further officially announced that
the Spanish note is marked throughout
by an energetic tone.
According to the reports in official
circles here, the United States minister
will confine himself to acknowledging
the receipt of the Spanish reply and,
after forwarding it to the United States
government, will request instructions
from Washington before proceeding
any further in the matter.
It is not expected that the text of the
answer of Spain will be published here
before the senate has had the oppor.
tunity of celebrating upon it and,
therefore, it is understood that the text
of the document may not be published
in the United States until after the re.
assembling of congress.

SANTANDER, Spain, Oct. 27.-An in
cipient mutiny was aroused here by
some soldiers who had been ordered to
embark for the island of Cuba refusing
to 60 on board the transports. Although
the men were eventually compelled to
obey orders, the occurrence has aroused
considerable misgivings as to the pos.
sible behavior of future detachments of
Spanish troops ordered to the war.
