A DAY FOR THANKSGIVING
President Roosevelt's Proclamation
Fixing Thursday, November %.
Refers Pathetical1y to Mr.. Mckinley, But
Says the People Have Abundant
Cause For Gratitude.

Washington, D. C.-President Roose-
welt has issued his proclamation fixing
Thursday, November %, as q day Of
National Thanksgiving. 1t is as fol-
lows:
1.-THE season is nigh when. accord
ing to the time-hallowed custom Of
our people, the President appoints a
day as the especial occasion for praise
and thanksgiving to God.
'This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
Of a great and good President. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
so loved and honored him; and the
manner of his death should awaken
in the breasts Of our people keen
anxiety for the country, and at the
same time q resolute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the
path Of strong, orderly, popular lib
erty which as q Nation we have thus
far trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have been able
TO work for out own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let us re-
member that, as much has been given
US, much will be expected from us, and
that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by the
way in which on this earth and at this
time each Of us does his duty to his
fellow-men.
Nov, therefore, I. Theodore Roose-
yelt, President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the 18th
of this present November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations, and at their several homes and
places of worship reverently thank
the Giver OF all good for the count
less blessings of our National life.
I'm witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington
this second day Of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and one, and Of the independ-
ence Of the United States the one
hundred and twenty-si1th.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
"By the President.

St. Jacobs Oil For Chest-Colds, Bron.
chitis, Group, and PIeurisy.
An outward application for bronchial diff
culties is many times far more effective than
syrups, cough mixture, cod liver oil, &C.,
simply because it penetrates through to the
direct cause, which is, as rule, an accumula-
ton Of matter or growth tightly adhered to
the bronchial tubes. Hs
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as 1t does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables 1t to
loosen these adhesions and to induce free e1-'
pectoration. Cases have been known where
expectorations have been examined after st.
Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where the ad-
hesions had been removed or pulled q the
bronchial tubes. All irritation Of the del.
lcate mucous membrane Of the broncha is
quickly removed by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases Of Group
and whooping cough in children st. Jacobs
Oil will be found superior to any other.
remedy. -
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. It is clean to use-not at all greasy or
oily, as It's name might imply. For rheu-
matism, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
Ioreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head
lchs, backache, feetachs, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoulders,

Reckoned by European standards
as the greatest statesman China mas
ever produced Ii Hung Chang had al
ways held an enviable position among
his countrymen. Earl Ii was essen
tially q Chinaman with all his wisdom.
There was no doubt of his shrewdness,
but he shined as a statesman more IN
contrast than in merit, according to
the views Of many who had come IN
personal contact with him. Neverthe-
less. Ii Hung Chang will 60 down in
the annals of history as one OF the
greatest of Chinese. and many rank
him with Bismarck and Gladstone.
Earl Ii was born in the province
of Anu-Huei on February 16, 1873.
In 1860, while Governor Of the prov
ince of Thiang-Sin. he aided "Chinese"
Gordon il crushing the TAPPING rebel
lion. The other Thiang province
came under his sway. and in 1868 he
was made Viceroy Of the United Coun'
tries. In 1866 he was appointed Min
lister Plenipotentiary, in 1867 Ficeroy
of Hong-Kuang and in 1868 Grand
Chancellor. After the Tien-Tsin mas
sacre. in 1870. he was punished on the
charge of not having aided the COM
mandng general, but two years later
tie Emperor restored to him his titles
and the office Of Grand Chancellor.
After the first few Chinese de1eats
in the war with Japan he was severely
blamed by the Pekin Government TOT
the unDrepared condition of the army
and navy, and was called to the capl-
tal. He went, but at the head OF q
small army Of sturdy retainers so no
personal violence was done him, but
he was stripped Of his decorations ana
honors. Later he was restored to fa-
yor. and on the dismissal from Japan
of the first Chinese peace ENJOYS
whose credentials were f"tally defec-
five. all ewes turned to the famous
Viceroy. who was known and respect
od by the Japanese officers of state as
tho man who should head the next
neacp commission from the FloWery
kingdom, it being rightly assumed
that the papers accreditinS MIN as an
envoy would confer full powers for
negotiating.
Il was in 1897 that Earl Ii paid his
camous visit to this country, accom-
Danied by the immense retlnue or his
household. His reception was III
keeninc with his high rank, and: as
will be remembered, he saw mucn TO
interest him. and his peculiar habit OF
asking abrupt and pointed questions ions
had full play. Before coming mere
