The return Of the soldier boys from
Manila and the welcome they are re-
ceiving al the hands of their country
men in appreciation of their services
and leroisin is striking example Of
Americas patriotism. Those persons
whose dwarfed minds were so stiuted
that they imagined the waning of our
Unborn love of liberty surely have had
few chunks taken from beneath their
cerebellium by the enthusiastic man
ner IN which the whole United States
partook of the celebration of our
victories in the Philippines and the
return of the soldiers. The picture OF
the glorious reception and that of
leavetaking present two far different
views. Leaving all that was dear to
them in their native home, they went
to face the storms of lead, and per-
haps death; but they return, some
brave lads missing from the ranks, tits
true, but the honors of faithful SER
vice bestowed upon them and the
recognition of their value 10y hearty
and generous measures. Quietly
they disbanded and joined thei, fami-
lies, keeping their homes by daily toll
Thus these true Americans aIe form
ers OF the greatest nation that ever
existed under the rule OF man.

Thanksgiving day falls on the last
day of the month. 1t was customary
to fix the date earlier in the month
until Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon
tried to anticipate the presidential
proclamation in 1894 and named
Thursday, November %, as a day of
Thanksgiving. A few days thereafter
President Cleveland clleckmated him
by announcing the last Thursday in
November as the day to be Observed
and Notwithstanding much of the
Oregon governors popularity it was
Thanksgiving even in Oregon.

The administration of President
Mckinley is endorsed in Ohio, and
how do you like it? The state elec-
tions on Tuesday last were almost a
clean sweep for the republicans and
gave a splendid endorsement to the
Mckinley administration. The result
foreshadows the same presidential
nominees pitted against each other
next year as in the preceding election
and that the result will be the same is
generally conceded by independent
observers

The aged widow OF Colonel Meek

territory of half Il century ago and the
state of Oregon that has grown upon

ory, but as yesterday when added to
the records Of the nations life-in
which the "yet young state was youn-

Sgn,

I'd like to lie a boy again,
Without " single care;
With freckles. scattered OF. my face,
And hayseed in nv hair.
I'd like to rise at four O'Clock
And do hundred chores,
And saw the wood and feed the hogs
And lock the stable doors,
And herd the hens and watch the bees
And take the stock to drink,
And teach the turkeys how to swim
So that they wouldn't sink;
And milk about hundred cows
And bring the wood to burn,
And stand out in the sun all day
And churn and chun and churn,
And wear my brothers cast-off clothes
And walk four miles to school,
And get licking every day
For breaking some old rule.
Aud then get home ut night
And do the chores some more,
And milk the cows and feed the hogs
And curry mules galore;
And then come YEARLY upstairs
And see my littla bed,
And hear dad say"That worthless boy,
He isn't worth his bread"

1t has been given out that as a
consequence OF his fathers displeasure
young Cornelius Vanderbilt gets "only
100000" by the will. This, if
true, is sad, of course, and should
teach other young men the necessity
of filial piety and obedience. Still, il
young Mr.. Vanderbilt is prudent he
can pretty certainly manage to Grub

600 so invested as to pay or 5 per
cent. he will have $500, 600 or 100000
year with which to keep the butcher
and grocer quiet and pay modest
tailor and milliner bills. There are
young men-and Cornelius Wander
bilt III, is probably one of them
who would even manage on such an
income to put away something every
year for the proverbial "rainy day."

has decided that when the holder OF a
life insurance policy commits suicide
the insurance company is still bound
to pay the death claim unless it can
show that when he took out the policy
he did SO with intent to kill himself.
This is a decision of far-reaching i'm
