Thanksgiving Day"

Come uncles, come cousins, come neces and
all,
For this is the day that surely will call
On all the household to be up and away,
And come to the old homestead on Thanks
giving day.
And come with glad hearts and faces all
bright,
For twill bring to the dear ones Joy and
delight,
And they will welcome you gladly pray
As you come to the old homestead on
Thanksgiving day
For the turkey is waiting not gladly, you
know,
To give up his life to friend or to foe;
And you all look upon him without dsmay,
And partake of him eagerly on Thanks
giving day.
There is plenty for all and much to spare
For the poor and desolate whose cupboard
is bare;
Then give to them literally, for it will pay
To remember the poor on Thanksgiving
day.
There are many who have no Thanksgiv
ingS at all,
And those are the ones upon whom we
should call,
And remember all those not far away
And give of our store on Thanksgiving
day.
For there is enough in this broad land
To comfort each one and lend them a
hand;
To feed and to clothe, to send them ray
OF hope and of sunshine ON Thanksgiv-
ing day.
Then give to them literally from out your
And as you give you'll receive all the
more,
And thus you will see how it does pay
To be good to the poor on Thanksgiving
day.
Changes have come to the old home, you
know,
And many a dear one is now lying low.
But it's spirit freed from its house of clay
Reioces with us on Thanksgiving day.
And although unseen they are ever near
And mingle with us and bring us good
cheer,
So we should all be happy and bright and
gay
And remember long this Thanksgiving
day
For with thankful hearts we congregate
By the blazing fire in the open CRATE,
And offer prayer that we all may
Live to bless each other on Thanksgiving
day. Mrs. Claribel Gordon Crosby

The most important group Of papers
which the Atlantic Monthly will offer to
it's readers during 1901 is a series of
scholarly, bipartisan studies of the Re
construction Period. The various au-
thors represent both the South and the
North, and many shades of political
opinion. Some OF them were prominent
actors in the Reconstruction drama;
others are known throughout the coun-
try for their special studies upon this
period of American history; but all of
them, however naturally inclined to the
Northern or the Southern point of view,

if he favored one board. He replied:
If the people attended to their duties

right. If they don't attend to their

as ala ms departure. The mysterious
silence which he maintained and which

myself agreed that nothing should be
sa'd regarding the conference between

appetite very much. OF course it was
not expected that Mr.. Hill would talk
of the conference, but there was a be-
lief that he would say something of in

prospects of modification. but he was
decidedly noncommital. When asked

the convention would not meet for two

did he outline his intended position or

Mr. Bryan had taken while discussing
the coming convention. To some yis-
itors Mr.. Hin said his conference with

as 1t was when the delegates to the ma

ed. There was shifting of the scene
Monday when Benjamin r. Shively, of
Indiana, was taken out of the race by his
own emphatic statement to the Indiana
delegation. Not only the Indiana men,
but other delegates in the city accept the
statement of Mr.. Sh.vely, and he is not
now considered a probability in the race

forth, as possibility under certain con-
tingencies.
Much Depends on the Platform.
The fact is that the vice presidential
situation is interviewer with the plat.
form. If there is simple reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform some New York
man may be selected for vice president
in the hope that he will assist in carry
ing that state. If there is a specific dec
laration for sixteen to one then Towne
may be Bryan's running mate. 1t Is
pointed out as not quite conceivable that
convention which would refuse to make
specific declaration for sixteen to one.

Thursday morning, William Jen-

as the standard bearer of the united
democracy in 1900. The demonstra-
ton that followed lasted for thirty
minutes and until the shouting flag
waving, music making audience were

nominating speeches of the vice-presi-

Several have been made but the con-
test seems to be between Towne and
former yice-preSident Stevenson.
The platform, unanimously adopted
declares the sentiments of the party
in the following order: Reatfirms faith

and constitution, denounces imperial
ism declaring it the paramount issue
Of the campaign and the Porto Rican
law, condemns the Cuban policy,

Filipinos, opposes expansion by force,

militarism, pledges the party to
warfare against trusts, condemns the

ratio of 16 to l, denounces the recent

pensions, is for an American Nicaragua
canal, attacks foreign alliance, voices
sympathy for the Beers and favors

Kansas City, Mo-. July 3-An inter-
estins story got afloat Monday concern
Ing letter said to have been sent to Mr..
Bryan by democratic leaders here. This
letter, according to general report, out
lined the situation and suggested that
Mr.. Bryan ought to make concessions re-
garding the platform so that those who
wanted modification would be concil-
lated 1t was stated that the concession
asked made victory possible, while with
out 1t the campaign would be hard one.
Many leaders were mentioned as having
acquiesced in or signed the letter to
Bryan. Hon. James Kerr, one of the
delegates from Pennsylvania, who set
out for Lincoln Sunday night, accom-
panied by ex-Congressman Murchler
and another Pennsylvania delegate, is
said TO have carried the letter to Lin
coin. 1t was reported that this letter
was signed by or approved by Senator
Jones, ex-Gov Stone. j. G. johnson,
James Guffey and D. ]. Campau, all
members of the executive committee.

not signed such letter. but there was

that some such movement was on foot.

with Mr.. Bryan Sunday, said when told
of the movement to have Mr.. Bryan
agree to the elimination of specific

free coinage of silver at the ratio of six

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Their National Convention begins In
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 5.-The national
convention of the National Silver repub-
lican party met in the auditorium Wednes-
day. The delegates were slow in arriving,
and 1t was some time after u, the hour
fixed for the convention. when Chairman
Charles A. TONNES gavel fell, and the
party formed in St. Louis four years ago,
after the bolt of the advocates of free sill
yer from the republican national conven-
ton was launched on it's first regular ma
tional gathering. Twentyfour states were
represented at the convention.
Comparatively few spectators We're
present, owing to the assembling of the
democratic national convention, but there
were delegates in abundance, especially
large delegations being seated from Kan
Sas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa and Col
orado. Other states represented by small
er delegations were as follows: Arkansas,
California, Illinois. Indiana, Indian Terri
tory, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Missouri,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, New Jersey,
North Dakota. PENNSYLVANIA, South Da-
kota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia
Chairman Towne raped the convention
to order. and introduced Rev. DR.. Rigelow,
of Cincinnati, who invoked Divine blessing
upon the convention. After the reading of
the call for the convention and the declara-
ton Of independence, Temporary Chair
man Towne introduced DR.. Howard S. Tay-
lor, of Chicago, poet of the new political
movement, who read his poem entitled

Mr.. Towne then delivered an address

form amounted to a repeal of the declara-
ton of independence, brought the dele

Senator Teller was introduced as chair
man of the convention, who made an elo.
quent address, dealing with the monetary
question and bitterly denouncing the dis
establishment of silver. Chairman Teller
was given the closest attention throughout
his speech. which was nearly an hour III
duration. Were we wrong in leaving the

The first mention of Mr.. Bryan's name
came near the end of Chairman Teller,s
speech. 1t started perfect storm of ap.
plause, but the demonstration was excelleG
by that which occurred when Charles A
Townes name was mentioned. The dele.
gates, one and all, jumped to their feet
waving flags handkerchiefs, fans and hats
and shouting and cheering for Bryan and
Towne. For two or three minutes the dele.
gates cheered for their choices, and when
a moment later Chairman Teller finished
his speech and sank nearly exhausted into
his chair, he was surrounded by number
of the delegates on the stage and con.
graduated.
