THANKSGIVING.

1t has been truly said that time
and tide wait for no man, and as
we pass the mile stones of our lives
each one seems a little closer than
its predecessor. In childhood days
the years dragged slowly until we
could become men and women We
all had cherished ambitions-child-
hood dreams, as we call them, and
but few of us have realized the great
possibilities that we felt the world
held in store for us. Still when
Thanksgiving arrives we know that
there are many things for which we
can be truly thankful. In the past
twelve months, none Of us have had
all of our wishes gratifed. The dis
pensing hand of Providence has seen
fit to withhold many cherished idols
and for reasons that are particularly
His own. Out OF the chat OF many
ambitions, however, have been gar
nered a few kernels OF good wheat,
which we should appreciate.
This is a most fitting time for us to
take an inventory of ourselves not
only SO far as this worlds goods are
concerned, but also Of our spiritual
natures. The latter is much more
apt to be forgotten, for in the rush
and crowd along the roads Of every
day life, we are prone to leave spirit
ual matters until the last. 1t is the
common failing Of human nature,
and requires an every day battle to
overcome When man was created
it was the intention that he should
give prominent thought to the former
but since the fall Of Adam, the selfish
nature of the race has always been

and denied in certain States, and asks
for the reference of the subject to the
House Committee on the election of
a President, vice President and repre-
sentatives to Congress, with ample
power to inquire into the validity of
the election law Of the several States,
and the manner Of their endorsements
and whether the right to vote at any
election for the choice of electors for
the President and the vice President
of the United States, and for repre-
sentatives in Congress, and men,
bers Of Legislatures, is denied to any
male inhabitant, twenty-one years of
age, who is n citizon Of the United
States, except those barred for par
ticipation in rebellion or crime-the
Committee to have full power to
subpoena and examine witnesses
under oath, and send for records
and other evidence that may be neces-
sary for a full and complete investi-
cation of the several subjects and be
authorized TO meet while the House
is in session and finally report to
that body.
This subject has been frequently
brought up at past sessions of Con-
gress. 1t seems to find its origin in a
feeling that certain individuals of
the North bear against the residents
Of the South, and is calculated to stir
up the racial prejudice that seems
to be growing each year. Prominent
members of the republican party seem
determined to force the negro
question on the South, as was recent
" shown by the action of President
Roosevelt who again sent the nomi-
nation Of DR.. Crum to the United
States Senate. This negro was
named last spring as the collector of
the port at Charleston, and after a
bitter fight the Senate rejected the
same. Mr.. Roosevelt, however, seems
to think that it is necessary either
for the advancement ofhis own selfish
purposes, or as an additional rebuke
to the South to again bring up this
disagreeable feature that everyone
hoped was completely buried.
Recent events have demonstrated
the fact that the Presidents stand on
the question of race equality is not
popular wherever the negroes have
sufficient numbers to warrant the
whites in making a decided stand.
1t seems however, that these lessons
have only made the President more
radical in his determination to fight
the South to the last ditch. So long
as its Chief Executive takes these un-
usual stands, it is impossible tohave
a united and peaceful country, such
as was designed by the signers ofthe
Declaration of Independence and the
trainers of the Constitution of this
country. The voters will doubtless
reckon with the President at the
next National election, when he will
doubtless receive a rebukc that will
not soon be forgotten.

In the ascendency over that which is
good. Divested of greed, the soul OF
every one scars to higher and better
things, and if we could only unloose
the mill stones of selfshness and
private gain, what a changed world
this would be. Unjust not however,
he understood that we should not be
provident, and exercise a reasonable
degree of thrift in the accumulation
OF necessary amount this world S
goods, which should bring us COM
fort in our old DAYS and enable us to
hand down some little legacy to our
children. But the ultimate aim of
life ought not to be the accumula-
ton of riches. Wewere not put upon
earth for this purpose, and how
strikingly is it illustrated when a
rich man dies, and cannot so much
as carry a single farthing into the
next world, where everyone, rich and
poor, stand upon a like footing.
The people of this country have
much to be thankful for in many
ways. There has been no pestilence
or famine and all have been reason
ably contented and happy. Crops
have been fairly good, and while some
commodities are low, others are
higher in proportion, thus preserving
a general equalization. So far as can
be learned, especially in our midst,
there are no cases of restitution or
pauperisnl, and if any should be dis
covered we are thankful to say that
there are a sufficient number of good
people who stand ready and willing
at any time to relieve the needy and
distressed.
The day should espent in a manner
BETTING to the ancient custom of
our forefathers with whom Thanks
giving meant more than is the proper
acceptation of the modern celebra-
ton. They first remembered their
Creator to whom they owed every
thing, and were truly grateful. This
homage was shown by church
worship and private prayer. The
rest of the time was spent in feasting
and rejoicing, which followed as ire
ward for we'll doing. While nearly all
the churches are still kept open on
Thanksgiving Day, yet there is not
the attendance that should be called
thither by a sense of duty, and a
sincerity of feeling that is due by the
creature to its Creator. If we want
to be truly happy we should follow
in the footsteps of those who have
preceded us, and, by their lives, left
examples that should impress indeli-
Bile attributes upon our hearts.

THE MOTHERLY ROOSTER.
]. A. Bussard, who lives ON the.
County In6rmary road, not far from
tine Jonas Bussard place, owns large,
awkward, philanthropic rooster that
has lately become quite curiosity in
the neighborhood. He has assumed
the parental responsibility of brood
of little chicks. By accident the little
ones, when at a tender age were de-
prlved Of the love and care Of their
mother, and save for this thoughtful
rooster would have been left to face
cold and unsympathetic world alone.
1t is a fact hat as soon as Winfield
(this is the ROSTERS name) found out
that the chicks were orphans he felt
that something should be done, and as
there were no volunteer stepmothers
to come to the front, Winfield had the
courage of his convictions to provide
for the offspring himself. He began
cluclSing much like an old hen, but his
coarse tone of voice frightened the
youngsters at first. Winfield did not
get discouraged and by degrees won
the confidence and affection Of every
member of the brood His big feet
scratched furiously for the support
of his proteges, and he was soon the
centre Of attraction in the poultry
yard. When evening came and he.
conducted the little innocents into
small coop where he had never been
before, and gathered them carefully
under his wings, the sight was some
thing which Mr.. Bussard regarded as
almost incredible and simply amazing.
The rooster continues faithful in de-
votion to his charges and they are
growing finely. Winfield Is wonder

eggs il necessity demanded such an

and join the gang Of men who worked
for the circus. He was told that he
would soon be promoted. His work
was to help take down tents a. night
after the exhibition was given. He
found that the work was the hardest
he had ever experienced. He had no
sleep at night. After the tents were
taken down and loaded upon the cars
the rough men were all congregated
in one car and there they would usu-
ally become intoxicated or wild with
drink. The poor farmers boy, who
left the sick mother at home and a
loving father, fearing to remain in the
car with his carousing companions,
seated himself upon the bunker be.
tween two cars outside while the train
was in motion. One of the men,
crazed with drink, searched for the
boy, and finding him in his secluded
position attempted to drag him into
the car. In doing so the boys foot
caught in the coupling and was terri.
bly, bruised. He kept on his way with
this bruised foot for a week, after
which time he appealed to the poor
master at Rochester, N. Y. On ex-
nmining the foot the boy tainted. The

resembled the old miracle play tableaux rather
than the modern drama built around some main
purpose. Two scenes will serve to illustrate the
many sides of this play. In a young woman
was represented the sole survivor her friends
and relatives having all been butchered by the
mob. She passed over the stage collecting funds
for the victims and singing a mournful folksong
ending In the refrain:
Charity to the poor"
Each time she the stage the audience
showered coin up to the floor beside her. As much
as s14S in small coin was gathered after a single
appearance. So intense did the popular excite
ment and emotion become at times that women
stripped of their rings and threw them the
stage
In another scene of the drama was portrayed
the burial of the unfortunate victims of the mob's
fury So realistic this portrayal that the audi
ences were frequently moved to passionate weeping
by the spectacle. Five nights of benefit for the
Kishnen fund given at the theatre where
this play presented and 5000 was thus
raised.
While the scenes of Kishineff thus being
presented IN dramatic form, the Jewish press were

the massacre. Within ten days letters began to
