THANKSGIVING MENU.

Dinner to Eat and EnJoy-Up to

THANKSGIVING PRocLAMATIoNs.

Carefully preserved iii the state de-
partment at Washington are all of the
prociamations ever issued by the presi-
dents of the United States. They are
kept in large brown envelopes and
carefully filed away in series for each
year. Among them are the Thanks
giving proclamations issued by our
presidents and include one dated Jan.
1, 1895. and signed by George Wash
ington, while another bears the sigma
ture of James Madison.
The issuing of Thanksgiving proc
lamation by the president of the United
States is Il more complicated affair
than most people imagine. 1t is Sc
fious duty for the president, for 1T Is
customary for him to write this procla-
nation with his own hand and to put
into it as much of the spirit of the day
rs possible President Harrison used
TO take a pencil and little pad of
paper and write out the proclamation
in full. Then he would turn it over to
one of the executive clerks to be copied.
Mr.. Harrison preferred to use his pen
Gil rather than to dictate. President
his own hand, but he used i stenog-
rapher, too, n great deal.
The president in writing Il Thanks
giving proclamation makes draft OF
what he wishes to say. Such high
official as he is cannot afford the time
to make pretty copies of his letters. He
simply scrawls what he thinks ought
to be said, with corrections and amend
-ments here and there, and after the
wording has satisfied him he hands it
over to a clerk to be copied in proper
shape. In the state department there
are two or three clerks who make
speciality of penmanship, and one of
these engroSses the proclamation on
parchment artistically, when it is sent
back to the White House to receive
the presidents signature. Then the
great seal of the state department is
affixed. 1t is a very ornate seal. 1t
ought to be, for it cost $1,000. 1t is
kept in a rosewood case.
The affixing OF this seal is a momen-
tous affair. A warrant for it must
have been previously obtained from
and signed by the president. The proc
lamation having been made entirely
formal and authentic by the addition
of the seal, copies are taken of it by
clerks, and one is sent to each of the
states and territories. addressed to the
governors.
The state department uses the type
writer for some purposes, but not for
official correspondence. All of the
copies of the proclamation are written
out ON the long sheets of blue paper
which are used for official correspond
ence. Each governor who receives a
copy of the presidents proclamation
will make proclamation of his own.
But in the meantime the proclamation
of the president has been made public,
and the people all over the country
know what day has been chosen for
Thanksgiving.

President Roosevelt's proclama-
ton follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the presi-
dent at this season to appoint day
of festival and thanksgiving.
Over Il century and quarter has
passed since this country took it's
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 genera
ton has grown TO manhood and pass
ed away. Each has had to bear its
particular burdens, each to face its
special crisis. and each has known
years of grim trial. when the coun-
try was menaced by malice, 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 forward
heart
Nevertheless, decade by decade,
we have struggled onward and up
ward; we now abundantly enjoy ma
terial well-being, and under the ia
vor of the Most High we are striving
earnestly to achieve moral and spir-
itual uplifting. The year that has
just closed has been one of peace and
of overfiowing plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed 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 word only
but by deeds, by the way in which we
do our duty to ourselves and to our
fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as a day
of general thanksgiving, Thursday,
the 27th of the coming No
vember, and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and
in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of the
past year.

to- set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

them into the dining room, the big ta-
bic, with all its four extra leaves, was
seen to be none too large for the dinner
she had scared up" There were &
splendid salmon and a magnificent tur-
key. so big, brown and fragrant that the
mouth watered at the sight. and there
We're mince and pumpkin pies and
what not else that is sacred to New

And when Mistress Dorothy saw it all,
she cried to Sally: ..0h, You old con-
spirator! OF course you knew in ad-
vance, and this explains why you've
been over at Mrs. Green's nearly all
the time for three days. But forgive

OF that voice, and something dimmed
her sight so that she could hardly see

and laughter still wreathing his cherry
lips, swaying, balancing, venturing

toddling across the floor. The old lady
threw open the door, and with steps
almost as unsteady as the chiids tot

knees and clasped him to her breast,
sobbing, "God has forgiven me!'
