According to the yearly custom of our
people, it falls upon the President at this

Over century and a quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the-nations of the earth, and dur
ing that time we have had, ON the whole,
more to be thankful for than has fallen
to the lot of any other people. Genera
ton after generation has grown to man
hood and passed away. Zach has had
to bear its peculiar burdens. each to face
ITS special crises. 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 it paid the penalty of
folly and a forward heart
Nevertheless, decade by decade, We
have struggled onward and upward; we
now abundantly enjoy material well be-
ing. and, under the favor of the Most
High. We are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting The year
that has just closed has been one of
peace and of overlooking 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 words only, but by deeds,
by the way in which we do our duty TO
ourselves and to our fellow men.
Now, therefore /, Theodore Roose-
velt President of the United States. do
hereby designate as Il day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday. the 9th of the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and n
their several homes and places of wor-
ship tender thanks unto Almighty God
for the manifold blessings of the past
year.
in witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

A letter from Robert Smith. member
of the life-saving station at Sleeping
Bear Point, Mich, says there is consid-
cradle anxiety felt in South Manitoa Isl
and over the fact that it is thought the
island may suddenly disappear in the
lake. A few days ago the members built
small boathouse near the station. After
1t had been completed a short time the
ground about the building began to sink,
and suddenly the entire building drop-
ped out of sight. Captain Lafberg. in
charge of the life-saving station at Sleep
ing Bear Point made careful soundinss
and found that where there had previ-
ously been but three feet of water it now
registers over thirty. He has made care
full soundings in and about the island.
which he has forwarded to Washington.
giving il as Lis opinion that soon the en-
tire island will disappear.
