"A hunter III the WOODS mas been mis-
taken for Il squirrel and shot. This va

behind the football.
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

1t has pleased Almighty God to bring
our nation in safety and honor through
another year. The works of religion
and charity have everywhere Been
manifest. Our country, through all it's
extent, has been blessed with
abundant harvests. Labor and the
great industries of the people have
p%rospered beyond all precedent. Our
commerce has spread over the world.

of freedom and enlightenment has
extended e distant seas and lands.
The lives of u official representatives
and many of IL people in China have
been marvelously preserved. We
have been generally exempt from
pestilence and other great calamities,
and eve the tragic visitation which
overwhelmed the city of Galveston

sy mpathy and Christian charity by
virtue of which we are one united
people.
Now, therefore I, William Mckinley,
president of the United States, do
hereby appoint and set apart Thurs
day, the Doth of November next, to be

Him who holds the nation in the
hollow of his hand. I recommend

worship and d%evoutly give thanks for
the prosperity wherewith he has en-.
dowed us, for the seed time and
harvest, for the valor, devotion and
humanity of our armies and navies
and for all benefits to us as individuals
and rs "a nation, and that they hnmbly
pray for the continuance of His divine
favor. for concord and amity with
