Heron Nests in the Maine Woods.
There are three known hercn colonies
in New England. One of them is on
the plantation just to the north OF Sc
bee Lake. On point of land reaching
out into the pond Is a growth of tall
silver Dfrcnes. and there are at least
100 nests in the tops Of these trees. The
trees are tall, without limbs for forty
feet or more from the ground. 1t is a
well known fact that herons never
build nest in tree with limbs much
less than forty feet from the earth. The
nests are constructed from small sticks,
some up to an inch In diameter. The
nest Is at least two feet across, and
the eggs are a trifle smaller than a
hens egg, and of pale blue color. The
old birds go long distances on their for
aging trips, in some cases forty and fif-
ty miles. The birds of this species
about Moosehead Lake and around the
ponds miles to the south all make their
way to this particular colony at night
Standing on the point one can see the
birds coming from all directions during
the period in which they feed their
young. New York Tribune.

let me in with his latch-key, giving me
CHEEKY greeting; but as soon as we had
entered the dining-room, and he saw my
face, he exclaimed, "Good heavens! Mar.
tin, what has happened to you?"
"Olivia is deadv' l answered.
His arm was about my neck in mo-
ment, for we were like boys together
still, when we We're alone. He knew all
about Olivia, and he waited patiently till
could put my tidings into words.
1T must be true" he said, though in a
doubtful tone; ''the scoundrel would not
have married again if he had not suffi-
eient proof"
"She must have died very soon after
my mother" l answered, "and | never

Its stranger he said. 81 wonder she
never got anybody to write to you or

There was no way Of accounting for
that strange silence toward us. We sat
talking In short, broken sentences; but
we could come to no conclusion about it.
1t was late when we parted, and l went
TO bed, but not to sleep.
Upon going downstairs in the morning
found that Jack was already off, having
left short note for me, saying he would
visit my patients that day. l had scarce
ly begun breakfast when the servant an
nounced "a lady," and as the lady fol
lowed close upon his heels, saw behind
his shoulder the familiar face of Johan-
ma, looking extremely grave. She was
soon seated beside me, watching me with
something of the tender, wistful gaze Of
my mother.
"Your friend, DR.. John Senior, called
upon us a short time since," she said,
"and told us this sad, sad news"
nodded silently.
"If we had only known 1t yesterday

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
Sets Apart Thursday. November rs, as Day
Of National Thanksgiving.

Washington, Nov. 2. President
Roosevelt today issued his proclama-
tion fixing Thursday, November 2S,
as day of national thanksgiving. 1t
reads:
"A Proclamation. The season is
nigh when, according to the time
hallowed custom of our people. the
president appoints day as the espe-
cial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
"This Thanksgiving finds the eeo-
pie still bowed with sorrow for the
death of great and good president.
We mourn for President Mckinley
because We loved and honored him,
and the manner of his death should
awaken in the breasts OF our people
a keen anxiety and resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly, pop
ular liberty, which, as nation, we
have thus far safely 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 pros
pered in things material, and have
been able to work for our own uplift-
ing in things intellectual and spirit
ual. Let us remember that, as much
has been given us, much will be ex-
pected from us; and that true hom-
age comes from the heart as we'll as
from the lips and shows itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thank
fulness 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.
"Now, therefore, /, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as day
of general thanksgiving, Thursday,
the 2Sth of this present November,
and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their
wonted occuaptions and at their sew
eral homes and places of worship
thank the giver of all good for the
countless blessings of our national life.
sin witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.

nave answered charges made by John
r. Parker, president of the local
union, regarding the organization.
The supreme officers were indorsed in
every possible manner by the members
of the union, and whatever dissention
there might have been, disappeared
when President Parker threw down
his badge and withdrew from the
meeting. A unanimous vote of con-
fidence in the head officers was ex-
pressed by the Seattle union, and
peace reigns, with the exception that
Parker is to be tried under impeach-
ment proceedings.
The Order of Washington has un-

OF over 1900. The supreme officers
are leading citizens of Portland. It
is incorporated under the laws OF
Oregon, and was the first society
