Our Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving.
BY Helen Chaffee.
We'd thought on this Thanksgivin'
Day
To eat our punkin pie
With dear old mother at the farm.
As In the days gone by.
But greater Power than we had willed
That mother shouldn't stay,
An then We couldn't bear the farm.
When she had slipped away.
So brother John. he sent me word
Ter visit him spell.
An eat in style Thanksgivin' Day
Up at his big hotel.
Well, sech a bill O. fare as that
never see afore,
With all the things ever eat,
An several dozen more.
l labored hard to do my part
At talk an etiquette;
Though John was hardened to this
world.
Sometimes his eyes wuz wet.
knew that though his purse could
buy
The costliest kind of dish.
For mothers rare Thanksgivin' treat
He often felt wish.
An when loft him for tho nipht
couldn't help but say,
1T amt the food ner yit the style
That makes Thanksgivin' Day."

Thanksgiving.

What time the latest flower hath
bloomed,
The latest bird hath southwark
flown;
When silence weaves DER garnered
sheaves
Sweet idyls OF our northern zone;
When scattered children rest beside
The hearth. and hold the mothers
hand,
Then rolls Thanksglvings ample tide
OF fervent praise across the land
And though the autumn stiffness
broods
Where spring was glad with song
and stir.
Though summers grace leaves little
trace
On fields that smiled at sight of her.
Still glows the sunsets altar fire
With crimson flame and heart OF
gold,
And faith upllfts. with strong desire
And deep content, the hymns OF old.
We bless our God for wondrous wealth,
Through the bright benignnnt year.
For shower and rain, for ripencd
grain:
For gift and gnerdon, far and near.
We bless the ceaseless Providence
That watched lis through the peace
full days.
That led lis home. or brought us hence.
And kept us In our various ways.
And II the hand SO much that gave
Hath something taken from our
store,
II caught from sight. to heavens pure
light,
Some precious ones are here no
more,
We still adore the Friend above,
Who. while earth's road grows steep
and dim,
Yet comforts us in tender love.
And holds our darlings close to Him
Thanks, then, o God! From sea to
Let every wind the anthem bear!
And hearts be rife through toll and
strife.
With joyful praise and grateful pray
er,
Our fathers God, their children sing
The grace they sought through storm
and sun;
Our harvest tribute here we bring.
And end 1t with. "Thy will be done"

POLITICAL, CHATTER

The peoples party state central
committee met in Boise this week
and called state convention of 121
delegates to he held at Moscow some
time between July Is and August ! 5,
to be fixed by the executive commit
tee. The matter of fusion was
talked over and it was decided to
leave that question to vote of the
peoples party throughout the state,
when or in what manner the vote will
he taken is not stated. Politicians
are busy conjecturIng what signh-
canoe the call for the state conven-
ton at Moscow has. 1t has been
supposed that under the triple adj
dress OF the national organizations,
it would be possible to form har-
monlous union of all the silver forces
in Idaho, and more than likely by
the most sensible method there is
a joint convention containing an
equal number Of delegates from each.
OF the three organizations party to the
union. But the calling OF this state
convention at Moscow seems to have
upset settled convictions on The union
business, and should other conven
tons be held elsewhere complications
appear certain to arise which NAV
preclude union. Politicians seem to
think that going ahead with an indie
pendent state convention with full
party representations, at designated
place, without consulting other or
ganizations, indicates an ambulance
determination. 1t has been supposed
that the ''middle of the road wing
OF the peoples party was in the min

ment would be for silver union. How

She defeated her husband, who was
