WANTED CHEST AND GOT 1T
Experience of Man Who Thought
He Had Cut His Wisdom Teeth.

Il thought l had cut my wisdom
teeth a good many years ago" said a
Detroiter the either day, but a little
thing happened in Chicago the last
week to make me doubt it. In wander
ing about I entered an auction room on
State street while some family eff
fects,' rs the auctioneer termed them.
were being sold, There was one old
chest which caught my eye as it APP
Deared to be of ancient make and must
have knocked about a good bit l
looked into it to find a lot of deeds and
bonds. and my curiosity was at once
aroused. Who could tell what wealth
that old chest might hold? If nothing
more. there must be deeds to at least
a thousand acres of land in California.
I was saving wood and saying moth
ing but expecting to bid on that trunk,
when a man beckOned me aside and
said;
al hope you won't bid against me
on that chest. The family owed me
debt of $50, and perhaps the contents
will help me to get even.
81 didn't say whether I would or not,
and he continued:
"If you'll stand clear and let me bid
it in I'll make you a present Of $50 in
cash
THAT was enough for me-" contin-
ued the story teller, with leng drawn
sigh. Il shook the man off and started
the bidding at S.. He looked reproach-
fully at me and went a dollar better.
We had the bidding all to ourselves,
and the auctioneer sized me up as a
man who never let's go of good thing
and encouraged me from time to time
I thought l had the other fellow
downed several times but he came
back at me, and the result was that
the chest was knocked down to me for
$50. l hired a cab and had it driven to
my hotel with me, and lost no time in
going through it."
"And the deeds and bonds" was
asked
"Just ten pounds altogether and
worth a cent pound. 1t was plant,
of course. They We're looking for a
sucker, and they found one"
but yOu-you'-
ooh, you may try to make out that
I'm not the biggest ass in the world,
but If you'll take the trouble to go up
to my house my wife will soon con-
vince you that l lead the procession.

eyes were wide open all the timer

Sure of AnDIause.

That the theatrical claque is not CON
fined to playhouses was demonstrated
beyond all shadow of doubt to the
teacher who was drilling the pupils for
the exercises in one of the public
schools.
The unresponsive bit of femininity
over whom the amateur coach work.
ed rejoiced in the name of Sarah.
When Sarah began to talk, all her
vocal organs took joyful holiday and
retired in favor Of her nose. In vain
the teacher begged and implored.
Sarah still chung to her monotone.
Then the teacher threatened.
Sarah" she said, ''if you don't try
to do better you will fail utterly, and
then how will you feel?"
ooh, they'll applaud me, Miss
Brown" returned Sarah easily. my

The Quiet Man In the Corner.


I fingered DER the checker game night
or two ago;
The one who played against me seemed to
have no ghost of show.
Way over in a corner shrank tiTid lit
tie man,
Who seemed afraid to even dare approach
my valiant van,
But pretty soon an opening occurred two
blocks away,
And not another moment did that little
fellow stay.
He bounded Der the board and took three
kings in one fell swoop,
Then landed in my king row with wild,
ecstatic whoop.
You've known these quiet fellows that
just sat around and thought
And never said a single word while others
ragged and fought
But some day, when most every one is
looking tother way,
This quiet fellow sees chance to break
into the play,
He reaches out and grabs things that the
others had ignored;
He puts into the life game all the energy
he'd stored
Through all the years of silence So you'd
better not forget
The still man in the corner for he'll reach
the king row yet!

Thanksgiving Day
PROCLAIM alton

Over a 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 peo-
pie.
Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear it's peculiar bur-
dens, each to face its special crisis and
each has known years of grim trial
when the country was menaced by mall
ice, domestic or foreign levy, when the
hand of the Lord was heavy upon it in
drouth or flood or pestilence, when in
bodily distress and anguish of soul
it paid the penalty of folly and a for
ward heart. Nevertheless, decade after
decade, we have struggled onward and
upward; we now abundantly enjoy ma
terial wellbe;ng and under the favor OF
Most High we are striving earnestly to
achieve moral and spiritual uplifting.
The year that has just closed has been
one of peace and overlooking plenty
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater
prosperity than we are now enjoying
For this we render heartfelt and sol
emn 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 fellowmen.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of tie United States, do
hereby designate as day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the 9th of
the coming November, and do recon
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu-
pations and in their several houses and
places of worship render thanks unto
Almighty God for the manifold bless
ings Of the past year.
In witness whereof [ have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
Goth day of October in the year of Our
Lord, 1902, and of the Independence of
the United States the one hundred and
twenty-seventh.
(Signed)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
By the President.

Secretary of State.

Introductory.

With this issue of the REVIEW it's
management is changed for the third
time since it's establishment in 1890.
To Bro. 0. B. Moon, now pleasantly
located as editor of The Independent,
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, belongs the
credit of successfully conducting the
editorial and business management
since its twelve and one-half years of
existance and for the faithful and eff
cient support given to all public enter
prises given in this town.
Since the date of its purchase by Mr..
N. A. Colman the responsibility of it's
publication has devolved upon Mr..
VIM. Dockery who has also shouldered
the burdens of the mechanical depart
ment in addition to the duties of city
editor and reporter and so we'll has he
performed them that the REVIEW read
ers have always received the paper
promptly at the appointed time, with
columns well filled and neatly printed.
In the retirement of Mr. Dockery the
REVIEW loses competent and valued
manager.
For the future, we make no promises
of changes but assure our readers that
as rapidly as our abilities will permit
the REVIEW will be pushed to a higher
standard while retaining the same bus
mess policy and political utilization as
it has maintained since it's purchase
by Mr.. Colman.
In our efforts to promote the social,
moral and financial interests of Eagle
River and vicinity we seek the aid of
every reader of this paper and are con-
tident that it will be cheerfully given.
We want short, newsy items and lots of
them, so bring or send them in and we
will dc the rest.
