The American Thanksgiving and Its
Home Cheer.

The waning year grows brown and gray, and duh.
And poets sing November, black and sere;'
But from the bounteous garnered harvest store
With grateful hearts we draw Thanksgiving cheer.
In the American calendar of specially
appointed days set apart for the celebration
of marked events in our nations history
there is but one other which we consider
of the same Importance as Thanksgiving.
This is the day which celebrates the VIC
tory of that spirit of independence so char
acteristic Of the American. the day beloved
by the small boy, the GLORIOUS Fourth of
July"
The descendants of those sturdy Puritan
forefathers and foremothers who orig-
mated this American version of the Jewish
feast of the Tabernacle, the Cerealia of the
Romans, the harvest home of the Saxon
and Celt, have made wide departure from
the observances of their ancestors, although
they still retain the institution, and GER
tainly with good and sufficient reason when
we consider how blessings and bounties
have been showered upon us, a hundred
times one hundred fold, since that little
band of less than 100 brave, courageous,
much-tred souls On that bleak New Eng
land coast appointed a day for special
Thanksgiving because they were still alive,
free and able to obtain food and drink
more than sufficient for the barest necesSi-
ties of life; for half their original number
ships they encountered.
In fact, we should celebrate our Thanks
giving with new and increasing fervor each
year, although perhaps not in the same
manner that the stern old Puritan deemed
most fitting.
The one feature "od families" still
tain, and a form of entertainment most
desirable and suitable for the busy, rest
less American, is the house party. This
gathering should be as far as possible from
a formal or fashionable one, but be more
of a family assembly from far and near, an
lat home day to ones own people, and
the neighbor without a home, who finds it
hard to be thankful for the good times he
sees but is not a partaker thereof
A Thanksgiving house party has adj
Vantages over the Christmas gathering,
in most sections the season allows outdoor
entertainment for the guest and there is yet
abundant materials for the decoration Of
the house which are inexpensive and appro-
pirate Guests who arrive early will enjoy
taking part in an expedition in search Of
the autumn leaves, hardy ferns, laurel, red
berries and such available materials; and
also find pleasure in arranging these after
ward. This gives the honey feeling SO
grateful to the world-weary, and also re-
lieves the hostess very materially if she Is
too busy with other ma tiers to assume this
responsibility. The long-sighted home
maker will provide for this exigency, in a
measure, during her summer rambles in
the country; but nature helps even the less
proVident by furnishing the rich, brilliant
autumn colors in fruit and vegetable and
nuts, and the chrysanthemums are most
essentially the Thanksgiving flower.

Patrick Shugrue served two terms as
sheriff of Ford and the fourteen counties
attached to it for judicial purposes. He
never lost prisoner, and he got the men
he went after, but he never found 1t nee
essary to kill any one. When we remem-
Der that some of the worst men in the
world were included within his jurisdic-
ton. It must be conceded that Pat and his
brother Mike, who was for ten years sheriff
of Clarke county, with similar record
though Mike killed two men, were two of
the most efficient peace officers the west
ever knew. Pat, modest In regard to his

ing those of his brother who is, indeed re-
garded by some as perhaps the better of the
two.

still suspended on the ground of lack
of work These persons were there
upon reinstated, but Immediately sus-
I pended, but as d matter Of fact they
were not permitted to enter upon duty,
list Of charges being preferred
against them
Charges Were Not Sustained.
The charges against Dir. Wickersham
were rot sustained by the commission
er OF the general land Office. but shat
officer wrote Mr.. Wickersham that in
view of ''inharmoniOus relations" be-
tween WickerSham and the surveyor
general he deemed il best for the serv-
ice that another person should be the
stenograp her. Mr.. Wickersham was
offered the alternative of accepting a
place in the general land ONCE in
Washington at a reduced salary or
awaiting the occurrence of a vacancy
elsewhere in the land service. On
learning that his railroad fare to Wash
ington would not be paid. Nj Wicker
sham declined the proffered position in
the general land Office. He has not
since been offered a position in the
service.
The charges preferred against Mr..
Lehman by Surveyor General Perrault
were. in brief, that he did not possess
the qualifications Of a craftsman in a
surveyor generals Office, and while en-
ployed in that capacity he was more of
detriment than a benefit to the Of
fice that he partook ''of intoxicating
liquors TO an extent that disqualified
him from rendering any efficient serv-
ice" and that he executed an affidavit
charging a conspiracy between Sur
veyor General Perrault and the drafts
men under him to ALLOW the working
force TO be reduced, so that work
which should be performed at the ex-
pense of the government would accu-
mulate and thereby compel deputy sur
veyors to have the same performed at
their own expense" The commission
investigated these charges of drinking.
etc, and found them to be without
foundation of fact, and also that the
charge of ineficiency was unsustained.
Under the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley the commission was not
very successful in having its recon-
mepdations followed up, but it is be-
lieved here that the commission is con-
fident of the removal of all of the
fragrant violators of the civil service
regulations who in the past they could
not reach on account of their strong
political backing.
