A GALL TO GIVE THANKS.
President Roosevelt Issues the Gus
tomary National Thanksgiving
Day Proclamation.
APPOINTS NOVEMBER n AS THE DAY.
Characterizes Year Just Closed as
One of Peace and Overlooking
PIenty-Declares We Can Praise
God Not by Words Only But by
Deeds as Well.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-President
Roosevelt Wednesday issued his proc
lamation designating Thursday, No
vember ~, as a day of thanksgiving
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day OF fes-
tival and Thanksgiving to God.
"0ver century and quarter has
passed since this country took its
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had on
the whole more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people. Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear its Pc
culiar burdens, each to face its spe-
cial crisis, and each has known years
of grim trial, when the country was
menaced by malice domestic or for
eign levy, when the hand Of the Lord
was heavy upon it in drought or food
or pestilence, when In bodily distress
and anguish Of soul 1t paid the penalty
of folly and a froward heart. Never
theless, decade by decade, we have
struggled onward and upward; we
now abundantly enjoy material well
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing. The year that has just closed has
been one of peace and of overflowi1g
plenty. Rarely has any people en-
.joyed greater prosperity than we are
now enjoying. For this we render
heartfelt and solemn thanks to the
Giver of good; and we seek to praise
Him not by words only but by deeds,
by the way in which we do our duty to-
ourselves and to our fellow men.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gen.
reral Thanksgiving Thursday, the
~twenty-seventh of the coming Novem-
Der, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from
their ordinary occupations, and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of the
past year.
''In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Ozone at the City of Washington
this goth day of October, in the year
of Our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and two and of the Indepen-
'dence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty-seventh.

Origin Of the Word "cuba.n

Cuba is the name by which the Is
land was originally known to the Lu-
cayan Indians, who Were with Column
bus when he discovered it. One of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan, and it is reported that
from the similarity of sounds Column
bus, still supposing himself to be on
the coast of Asia, imagined that this
must be a city of Kublai Khan, the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival of the original
name for Cuba is a remarkable in
stance of persistence, as the island has
been baptized and rebaptiZed many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana I'm honor
of Prince John, the son of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
it was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. Subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James,
the patron saint Of Spain. Still later
it was named Ave Maria, in honor of
the Virgin Mary. But none of these
names held, and the Indian name is
still preserved.-LiteraryE Era.

One OF the two remaining Cubans
was taken, and as he entered the house
with a prayer on his lips Chips con-
tinued:
STEADY, now, and don't miss a word.
Nobody is to follow me. There on the
right flank their line is the thinnest
and the jungle thickest. AS / make
my rush for the captain you rush for
the flank, break through and take to
cover in the jungle. You'll all get
away. Get readyr
but We began, when he inter-
rupted me with:
"Silence, fool! Haven't l told you l
want to die? There is no use throwing
other lives away. If one of you dares
to follow me, I'll turn the sword on
him instead of the captain. They are
coming for the last Cuban now. Fetch
a long breath and when you moN e
make a regular football rush of it.
Now, then, hurrah!'
Chips sprang forward, and we wheel
ed to the right and made our rush. 1t
was complete success. Before the
soldiers at parade rest could bring
up their muskets we were upon and
over them, and, though a shower of
bullets followed us into the jungle, no
one was hit.
Even as we rushed we knew that
Chips had won his first stroke, for the
officer screamed out as the steel was
wrenched from his hand and found his
heart.
1t was months later before we knew
all, before it was told us that our COM
rade stood with his back to the tree
and laid about him till he had killed
two others and wounded four. He
was fairly riddled with bullets before
he went down and the cheer on his
lips turned to a death rattle in his
throat. Could his weeping mother and
stern hearted father but know they
would say that the outcast son had re-
habilitated himself.
