President Mckinley. in his proclamation
designating November the oath rs the
date, refers in a most reverent spirit to
those which are more or less special to
this year. He notes that not only have
the haryests been abundant, but our
eommeFcs shows phenomenal increase,
the public credit has been strengthened,
and all the sections OF the union have
been drawn into close bonds OF national
unity-and this, he might have added,

A new kind Of pheasant has made its
appearance among the game being
brought to Portland. Hunters think it
a cross between the Monaghan pheasant
and the domestic fowl. Monaghan
pheasants could soon be domestieated,
many farmers think, as the birds are
usually fed during snowy periods from
the granaries of the farmers, who do not
wish to see them parish. The male
pheasants often forget that they are in
yited guests on these occasions, and pro-
coed to clean out the ROSTERS around the
barnyard. No roster can hope to with
stand the superior weight and fighting
qualities Of the pheasant, and so the
farmer has to interfere to put stop to
the unequal struggle.-Portland Tele-
gram.
