There are days OF rain.
And days of pain.
And days OF murk and strife:
But the luckiest day for a man. ] say,
Is the first day of his life.
I'm thankful this Thanksgiving day
That am living, anyway.
I'm thankful am living here
Where find everything SO near:
So near Is Natures loaded shelf

II seems tina: this world was designed
To Mt and satisfy my mind.
This world know
Has much OF woe.
Has much Of toll and sin,
But the iuckiest world for the mes Of this
world
Is the world they're living IN.
I'm thankful am living here
Where ind everything so near.
I'm thankful am living now.
An apple on Times highest bough:
For all the years have met decay
That fruit. like us. might grow to-day:
And so we apples ripen fast,
Fed by the dead and buried past.
These times are rife
With noise and strife,
And not devoid of sin.
But the luckiest times for the men Of these
times
Are the times they're living in.
I'm thankful am living now.

AT THE BANQUET

Boston, Mass, Feb. 17.-Amd the un-
bounded enthusiasm that prevailed in
Mechanics building at the banquet of the
Home Market club to President McKin-
ley death stalked in and claimed one OF
the prominent men present. The victim
was Frank E. Taft of Whitnsville, Mass,
who has been prominent in republican
politics in the state and leading men,
ber of the club. Taft sat at a table on the
platform with other prominent guests
and his death was due to heart failure,
supernduced by the excitement attend
ant upon the occasion.
Frequently the whole house rose to its
feet and cheered with more than ordin-
airy vehemence. Mr.. Taft was as enthus
iastic as any of the others and when Gov.
Wolcott was introduced he rose with the
others and led little coterie near by in
the cheering. With the others he sat
down and in minute or two Mr.. Staples,
who sat beside him, says he heard a
gurgling sound issue from Mr.. Taft's
throat. He looked around just in time to
see Mr. Taft sliding to the floor. The
stricken man was seized by several Of
those near him and carried into room
near by and a physician who had been at
tracted followed a once. RestOrativeS
were applied but Mr.. Taft died almost at
once.

At the close of the S1st hour Miller dis
mounted and was led from the track. He
was stiff and sore. Gimm came on just
as Miller left. starting out at once to
regain the lead of Ia miles which Miller
had placed to his credit. No other race
