from PURE GRAPE CREAM OF
WINNING OVER AN AUDIENCE

A Story Of the Presid ntial Campaign
in 1896.
A clever bit of campaign repartee il
accredited to Lee Fairchild, the Cali
fornia orator, who leaped into nation.
Southern state to advocate the gold
standard. At certain place he was
informed by the committee that the
"rally" would begin and end about the
same time. and that not since 1883
had any republican speaker been per-
mitted to finish speech there.
Upon learning that the speakers, as
O rule, had been able to get out of
town and fill their next appointments,
Fairchild determined to make the at
tempt as billed. He advised the chair
man to have no music, and to intro
duce him by saying to the audience:
"You are the people and here Is the
speaker" The chairman followed in
structions a little too literally. He
simply pointed at the audience and then
at the speaker, and disappeared behind
the scenes.
Fairchild began his speech at once
with one of his famous stories. The
audience was separated, the colored
folk all being in the gallery. and only
white people below. In about five
minutes the speaker made pointed
thrust at the opponent party. when an
organized body of young men in the
center of the thsater shouted in con-
cert, "Ratsl''
Fairchild paused for a moment. and
then, waving his hand at the gallery,
said: "Waiter, come down and take
the Chinamen's ord ersi' The effect
was electrical. The speaker, in Ielat-
Ing the incident to the writer, said

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.

gathering Monday evening. when they
entertained the University football
eleven at a o'clock dinner The table
was very prettily draped with football
colors and the decorations we're tasty.
Around the board we're gathered the
following members of the team: Coach
Blodgett and wife, Captain Kingsbury,
Miller, Wells, Baker, Rowley, Will
Jams, Loevinger, johnson, Maxon,
Bushtieid, Tucker and Robinson.
Cyrus Warne, OF this city, and T. w.

the banquet as enthusiasts of the game.
Captain Kingsbury didn't find it
necessary to give the signals for 9
touchdown and kick goal into the bar
gain. The very excellent menu pre-
pared by Mrs Douthit was regarded as
an appetizing opponent and the boys
won out by score even worse than Al

pleasantly spent in amusements of
various kinds and the whole affair will
long remain happy memory with the
participants Mr.. Douthit is one of the
strongest supporters of the team and he
took this method of demonstrating to
them the high esteem them in which
he holds them, both IS gentlemen and

THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
services We're Held at the Methodist
and Episcopal Churches
Thursday Morning.

There was fairly good audience
1ne Methodist church Thursday morn
ing to attend the union Thanksgiving
services which were announced for the
day. The music was furnished bv the
Methodist choir and Rev. MIR. Young
man and Rev. Mr.. Gunderson assisted
in the preliminary services. The SER
mon WAS preached by the Rev. Mr..
Fraser, OF the Pres terian church, his
text being taken from Psalms 92:I: He
grouped his thoughts around the origin
OF the celebration OF Thanksgiving
back in the ancient ttmss at the feast
OF the tabernacle, which at that time
lasted for seven days. He spoke of the
custom OF observing Thanksg giving day
back IN the Puritan times, as it was
originated by the settlers of New Eng
land, and of its institution by proclama-
tlon OF the president in 1890, Nov. 26.
MIR. Frazer interestingly reviewed the
manifold blessings that have come to
this country in the past year, for which
tho people should be truly and devout-
ly than kful. At the close of the SER
mon a collection was taken up and
amounted to S6.63, which the pas ors
decided to send to the orphans home
at Sioux Falls and it was forwarded
there today. The services were brief
but were impressive.
Thanksgiving services we're also
held at the Episcopal church and were
conducted by the Rev. j. H. Babcock,
who delivered an interesting sermon.
The day in the city was spent quiet
ly enough. as nothing was going on to
bring out the people. Small dinner
parties were numerous and the turkey
was the subject of discussion on many
dinner table. Many of the stores
closed shortly before noon and remain
ed closed until late in the afternoon.
