The Thanksgiving Pumpkin.

o, other bards may warble
OF the lily and the rose,
I sing the humble pumpkin
That in the garden grows,
With leaves all rough and hairy,
But fruit and flowers Of gold
The coach that Cinderella
Went riding In Of old.
With sweetest thoughts Of childhood
Its hardy tendrils twine,
NY mothers door was shaded
BY the sturdy, honest vine.
And though my head Is silvered,
/ never pass a patch
OF pumpkins without longing
For candle and a match.
So, waiter. straightway bring me
A generous pumpkin pie.
The biggest and the brownest
The larder can supply:
And while In thought returning
/ hear the silver chimes
OF the clock In mothers kitchen
I'll eat 10 olden times.

Turkey GObbler Time

A song Is borne upon the breeze
That doth mine ear delight,
When nuts are ripening on the trees
And thistle pods areiwhite.
No cadence clear Of ringing bells,
No music set In rhyme,
But just a symphony that tells
'Tis turkey obbler time.
What vistas open to my viewi
What glorious dreams arise!
A mug OF cider. sweet and new,
A row Of pumpkin pies.
The glad Thanksgiving's golden store
This year is at Its prime.
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah once more!
'Tls turkey gobbier time.

Fighting FierCely.

Headquarters of japanese army in
Manchuria, with General Kuroki, via
Seoul, Aug. 3.-This army began a
general attack on General Kuropat-
kin's forces at daybreak today, which
lasted until sunset. The japanese CEN
ter took Taowan, captured the enemy s
northeastern position. The Japanese
left flank advanced and captured a
second position, thus jeopardizing the
Russani right flank. The japanese car.
ried this position against superior num-
bers of Russians. There was a tremen-
dous artillery fire throughout the day
and the infantry finished with bril-
liant march under the enemy's sharp
mel. 1t is believed the Russian posi-
ton will be rendered untenable soon.

this report no troops proceeding to the

be detained there and every available

at Liaoyang and other points to the

LABOR PROBLEMS AT CAPITAL.
President and Cabinet Members Hold
Conference.

Washington.-Labo conditions gen.
orally throughout the country were the
subject of a recent conference which
the president held at the White House
with Attorney General Moody, Secre-
tary Metcalf of the department Of
commerce and labor, and Commission
er of Labor Carroll d. Wright. Several
matters which have been appealed to
the president were considered and &C
ton upon them will lie announced la
ter.
The conference was of considerable
Importance TO the administration and
TO labor generally. The president au-
thoriZed the announcement that the
Chicago strike was not discussed at
the conference. Regarding the strik-
ers in various parts of the country the
president and his advisers agreed that
at no point had any of these passed
beyond the scope of local treatment,
nor was the administration called up
on at this time to take action.
AS for the pending meat strike, al
though it was not specifically discuss
ed at the conference, it can be stated
that the administration does not con-
slider that national emergency has
been precipitated, as was the case in
the coal strike. Until such an emer-
gency has been created there will be
no official consideration of it by the
administration.

Toxic, Aug. 3.-General Kuroki has
administered a severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the
Russian east flank at Liaoyang, win
ming seperate actions at Yushulizke
and Yangse pass. These two places
are 26 miles apart, but the two actions
were fought at the same time. The
Russians held strong positions.
The thermometer registered over llO
degrees Fahrenheit and the soldiers SUI
fered cruelty from the heat and exhaus
ton. At Yushulizku the Russians bad
two divisions Of infantry and some ar
tillery, and they resisted the japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn on
Sunday July 80. AT Yushulizku tie
japanese carried the Russian right al
left wings, but on account OF Tie
strength of the main Russian position,
they were unable then to press the al
tack. The two armies rested Sunday
night facing each other. At dawn Oh
Monday the japanese resumed the az.
tack and by noon they had dlslodgeu
the enemy and driven him four miles
to okoling. At Yangse pass also tie
Japanese were successful. Their ar
tillery opened on the enemy and the III

The attack on this place was mace

The Japanese forces passed the nigns

Russia in Bad Way-Anarchy Within

Although the campaign in the orient
is developing its most important phas-
es. the attention of Europe is concen-
trated on Russia, and the public con
viction grows that the Muscovite en-
pire is near the greatest crisis in its
history. The assassination of Won
Plehve was comparatively unimportant
in that crisis. He was; it is true, the
strongest individual force in the coun-
try's government, but his strength
could not compensate for the weakness
of the supreme head of Russian des-
potism.

to combine great ducal reactionaries
with the conservative element among
