THANKSGIVING.

In accordance with the proclamation
of the president. Gov. Lee has issued his
proclamation designating Thursday,
November 30th, day of Thanksgiving.
He says the people ofSouth Dakota have
a great deal to be thanful for. Their
labors during the year just closing have
been blessed With wonderful results.
The earth has yielded its fruits in abun-
dance. The public health has been good
and no great cslamities have overtaken
us. Providence has showered blessings
upon us without stint. Our social and
political affairs depend for their solution
upon ourselves and there is every indi
cation that while some phases Of the
present situation are not alluring the
people are doing more reading and
thinking than ever before. The world
cannot and does not stand still, and IL
the horrors Of war appear more vividly
than formerly, if our hearts go out more
quickly to those seeking liberation from
bondage than formerly, five yield more
quickly and sympathetically to the cries
Of distress in all parts Of the world, it is
because We are perhaps growing nearer
to common brotherhood in which an
injury to one is the concern Of all and
the well-being of all is the concern Of
each. To the consummatIon ofthis con-
dition we should bend our energies and
invoke the aid of the divine power to
which we owe everything.

Blind Boone.

Blind Boone appeared at Library hall
last evening before packed house. His
playing is, as everyone comedies. won.
derful for man devoid of the blessing
of sight. He also sings as variation OF
the program, but his singing is not
equal to his playing. While all his
piano selections were good, the one
most pleasing to the writer was the one
he composed after storm several years
ago. 1t $as on Sunday evening and
from the little church came the sweet
strains of the worshipers as they sang
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing -
Then the thunder crashed, the rain fell
in torrents, and the tornado swept every
thing before it. After all was oyer the
calm settled down, and nothing could
be heard but a low faIaway reverbera'
ton. At the solicitation of Blind Boone
and the audience Miss Howe played g
production for him to reproduce. THIS
he did in a remarkable manner. especi.
ally as she had played a difficult selec'
tion for the left hand.
Miss Josephine Wriggles sang mum
ber Of selections, doing some clever act
ting meanwhile, and received hearty
and enthusiastic encOres. Being accus-
toned to larger hall, it was difficult
for her to regulate her voice. Blind
Boone joined with her in several of the
choruses to good effect. Perhaps the
selection, the sentiment of which called
forth the most unconscious approval
was the one where Sine sang of the little
baby coon that was all the mothers own
-"You's mine, all mine."-Rapid Jour
