OVER DEATHS RIVER.
Senator Davis Succumbs After
Long Illness.

Long Illness.
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 27.-United
States Senator Cushman Kellogg
Davis, Chairman of the committee
on Foreign Relations of the Senate,
died at his home here at 9o'clock to-
night after an illness of two months.
He has suffered greatly during his
sickness and gradually sank away,
being unconscious for several hours
before death and so far as could be
known suffering no pain
The Senator in his moments of
lucidity expressed strong determi
nation to recover, and within a
week said he was positive he would
soon be well. Indeed, it is the gen.
eral belief that the Senator's iron
will is all that has kept him alive for
the past week.

THANKSGIVING.

Columbia approaches this Thanks
giving Day beneath a sky from
which the clouds are just rifting. A
week ago wind storm swept its way
near this city, and left desolation
and death along its path. The mild
morning that followed that wreck of
hopes and homes, seemed mockery
to look upon. Appalled, by what had
been done, and staggered by the
further thought of what might have
been, our people stood, paralzed for

our time and country and religion

superstitions and fears of dark con-
tinents or past ages, but to look up

frowning countenance of an angry

face of His brightest angel, sweet

storm waded through mud and wa

groans of the dying, to bind up the
wounds of the living, and to bury
the dead.

HAD TO PART WITH BILLY.

There once lived on old curmud-
geon whose wealth consisted principal
" of his flock of sheep and his two
sons. Now, one of Tia latter was .
noble, generous, whole souled fellow,
whose kind impulses led him into com,
pany and to acts of kindness, and he
evidently set little store by wealth.
The other was a gripall, just like the
father. The old man, being upon bis
deathbed, called the latter and said:
"John, you know your brother is q
good natured, easy fellow, and when
he gets his share of the property will
suuander it away. But never mind,
John, do you divide it all fairly with
him. To which John assented, and
the old man died.
With haste John proceeded to make
division. In a great flock of sheep
there must. of course, be many indif-
ferent sheep.
These John carefully selected and
placed in one pen, and with them an
old ram known as Billy. The best OF
the flock he placed in another pen.
Between the youngest son and Billy
the warmest affection existed, dating
back great many years, and by this
affection the crafty John calculated to
work off all the Indifferent and valu9'
less portion of the flock upon bis
brother.
"Brother, our father is dead, and he
charged me to divide everything fairly
with you, and I have tried to do it.
Brother, there is one pen, and Billy is
in it, and there is another take which
you choose"
On seeing Billy, he gave shout and
jumped into the pen, commencing his
usual playful tussle, and when he had
fairly fasigued himself stopped short
and thus addressed himself:
"Billy, you and I are old friends.
Many q rough and tumble we have
given each other, many an hour we
have spent together. Billy, l love you
like a brother. Billy, it would al
most burst my heart to think OF separ,
ating from you, but" Cooking all
around,) "Billy, you are in bad com.
