LAWYER and Witness.

A certain Mr.. HI. was a sharp law
yer and invariably retained in criminal
cases, where his peculiar abilities were
deemed likely to benefit his client. Old
Mrs. L., the widow of small farmer,
was remarkable for her plainness in
speech and manner, and she was one OF
the cute sort. The old woman was an
important witness for the prosecution
in which Ell. defended the evildoer.
Her testimony bore hard upon the pris-
oner, and in the cross examination FL.
endeavored in vain to confuse or irri-
tate her.
At length, turning abruptly to the
witness he exclaimed, MADAM, you
have brass enough in your face to

daughter of Geo. Harvill, to Harry Day
of the same place. The union was SOL
emnized by Rev. Custer in the presence
of one hundred guests. At II a. NJ, to
the sweet strains of a wedding march
played by the brides sister, Velma, the
much admired couple, the groom in
black and the bride in a lovely pearl
silk, holding bouquet of white chrys-
anthemums, took their places under a
beautiful arch decorated with chrys-
anthemums. After the words that
made them husband and wife, Grand
father Day presented them Bible and
family record. Mr.. Day did this in
such an impressive manner that many
eyes we're moist at the conclusion The
whole affair was a season of delight.
The presents we're too numerous to
mention-many costly and all very
useful. The dinner was superb, and
the crowd so full of fun that they Chi
rivaried the new couple on the spot.

people settle down at once to house
keeping.

FALLS TO HIS DEATH.
Wesley Lancaster Patient at County Asy-
lum, Commits Suicide.

Wesley Lancaster, an insane pa
tient at the Grant county asylum,
committed suicide early Sunday
morning in a most shocking manner.
He assembled the ladder to the top OF
one of the high water tanks and
threw himself off, falling headlong
to the frozen ground. Attendants
carefully conveyed him to the hos
pital ward and physicians were has
tily summoned, but the injuries sus-
tanned were fatal and he never re-
gained consciousness, dying shortly
after.
Deceased was a resident of Argyle,
Lafayette county, and was sent
here from Mendoza hospital two
years ago. He was man of super
ior knowledge and one of the model
patients at the institution. Always
kind ard courteous, he had the re-
spect of Supt and Matron Anderson
and was friend of every inmate.
He was thirty-six years of age and
leaves a wife and two children, who
reside at Argyle The family has
made frequent visits here to see him
and they we're enroute for this point
Sunday for visit when the sad
news reached them of the accident
The remains were taken home for
interment.

Lost His Bearings.

Former Judge Campbell, president
of the board of city trusts, was walk

tween Broad and Juniper, one recent
evening, awaiting the arrival of a
friend, when his attention was at
tracted by the eccentric locomotiOn Of
a man coming through Juniper street
from Market He crawled along the
wall of the old mint for few yards,
and then plunged headlong across the
street. bringing up with jolt against
an awning pole in front Of Wanna
makers and caroming against the
westernmost window of that store.
Then he zigzagged across Chestnut
street. and, steadying himself against
the boarded-up entrance of the Gar
rick theater, asked the judge with a
fine assumption of polite dignity:

Thanksgiving In Lancaster.

Thanksgiving in Lancaster was a
quiet and restful day. A majority
of the business houses were closed
and the public schools as usual had
a holiday. The inhabitants OF the
county seat enjoyed the genial
warmth of their homes and the GUS
tomary number of happy family re-
unions and gatherings were held.
It was typical old-time Thanksgiv-
ing with just enough snow to add
the proper hue. There were good
dinners galore for none were so poor
in this time of plenty as to be un-
able to make an extra spread.
In the afternoon there was foot
ball game at the fairgrounds, Elev-
en- stalwart lads from Bloomington
tried conclusions with our home
school team. 1t was the final con-
test of the season for our boys and
they were resolved to end it glor-
iously. They were bound to do or
die and the visiting aggregation, too,
was eager for the fray. The air
was just frosty enough to put the
players on their mettle and the
spectators who witnessed the per-
Torrance we're not disappointed.
The home team did not exert itself
in the first half but in the last went
at it in their customary snappy
manner. The boys from Blooming
ton played we'll but ware outclassed.
Lancaster won by score of 81 to 0.
The Lancaster high school football
team is proud Of it's record-and well
it may be. Not single defeat did
it have during the season and some
good elevens were met. But once
we're they even scored against. A
tie game was played with Dubuque.
The Herald is proud of the achieve
ments of these husky lads.

The Train Bag.

Apropos Of the season of the year
when everybody is on the wing. the
shops are showing many accessories
which cater to comfortable and en-
ioyable travelling One Of the most
fastidious things in leather is the
'4train bag" which is equipped with
most elaborate attention to luxurious
details. Closed, the shape is almost
square and rather fiat. The lids open
outward and disclose the entire con-
tents. There is a little tray covered
with chamois, and into this all the
smaller articles, such as pin box, two
small glass bottles, tooth brush bot
tie, soap box, brush, comb, ETC., are
fitted. The tray has a nickle handle
on one side, and shoves into compart-
ment under the bottom of the bag,
which then closes fiat with a leather
flap. In the bag proper is a mirror at
one side, and on the other all the little
manicuring necessities.-Chicago Post.

The First Thanksgiving.

The first Thanksgiving day held IN
this country is usually said to have
been a day appointed for this pur-
pose in February, 1851. At that
date the colony at Charleston was
reduced to the very point of starva-
ton when vessel with supplies ar
rived, and day of public thanks
giving and rejoicing was ordered by
the governor. In June, 1882, the
colonies of Massachusetts, Bay and
Plymouth held day of thanksg1v-
ing on account of favorable meas
ures toward the colonies having
been passed by the privy councils
of the king of England. Frequent
days of thanks were officially ap-
pointed in the New England colo
MES during the following century.
The earlier of these appointments
we're at different seasons of the
year sometimes more than one day
in the same year was so appointed
and for special reasons, a victory
over the Indians or the arrival Of
ships with provisions and new colo
nists; but later the day came to be
generally set apart in the autumn or
early winter to give thanks for the
abundant harvests and generally
prosperous condition of the colonies.
During the revolution Thanksgiving
Day was national institution and
was annually recommended by con-
gress; but after the general thanks
giving FOR peace in 1854 there was
no national appointment unit 1889,
when President Washington, by re-
quest of congress, recommended a
thanksgiving for the adoption Of the
constitution. Another ationa
thanksgiving was appointed by
Washington in 1895 on account of
the suppression of the insurrection
of that year. In 1915, also, Presi-
dent Madison recommended a day
of thanksgiving for the restoration
of peace. But during the early
part of the century thanksgiving
remained an institution peculiar to
New England, where, every year, a
day was officially appointed by the
governors of the several states-this
being not always the same day
either of the week or Of the month.
The Protestant Episcopal prayer
book, adopted in 1889, recommended
for a day of thanksgiving the first
Thursday in November, unless an
other day should be selected by the
civil authorities This day was OBJ
served by that church generally in
setting apart a thanksgiving day.
The first official appointment of a
thanksgiving day in the state OF
New York was in 1917. The day
was not generally appointed by gov
errors of the western and southern
states until after 1850. During the
civil war President Lincoln issued
proclamations recommending spec
ial thanksgiving for victory in 1862
and 1863, and in 1868 and 1854 APP
pointed the annual thanksgiving
day by national proclamation. Since
that time Thanksgiving proclama-
ton has been issued annually by
the president, as we'll as by the gov
errors of the several states and the
mayors of the principal cities, and
the day has been the same through
out the union and has been fixed by
custom and preference on the last
Thursday of November.

Lancaster coal bins did not lack
for coal during the past month as
did those in many other cities. This
was due to T. F. Orton's forethought
and generosity. Mr.. Orion had
good supply on hand that had been
purchased early in the season before
the famine was on. This he sup
piled to customers here at the old
price of $3.50 per ton, while he
could have received SIS for it had he
shipped it to Milwaukee.
-Jno. Meysembourg held turkey
shoot one day last week and all the
sports we're in attendance. Lee
Fawcett had two turkeys in his pos
session at the close of the perform
ance and the manager was unable to
figure out how he obtained them.
Fawcett's explanation evidently was
not satisfactory to him for he swore
out a warrant for the arrest of the
young man, charging him with
theft of one of the birds. The case
came in for hearing before Justice
McGonigal Monday, Dist. Atty.
Brown prosecuting and Ed. M. Low
ry appearing for defendant. A jury
was impanelled and after hearing
the evidence returned a verdict fo
the defendant. The action cost t.
county about $40.
