WE ARE LIVING

In great country, yes Siree, Amerlca is all right, because almost every
 newspaper you read you'll see where some poor fellow like John D. Rocke- feller or poor Andy have just donated one or two million dollars to some worthy cause, such as educational ip- stitutions, libraries, etc. Out none to the poor). Say, we often wonder where they get all their coin; is 1t possible they get it honestly or is it possible that 1t comes to them by squeezing It out of the poor fellow with a full din ner pail and working for poor pay, or do they roll up their millions by pay ing high wages i've mean hvme wages)! Well, we see where one "Chauncey'' has been receiving S2o,ooo per year for several years for doing nothing for the policy helders of an insurance company that's honestly and say, if person died on whom YOU hold a policy they'd Rake you spend half of it in law trying to col lect it But there is one thing i'll favor of these rich fellows: when they give anything they do business just as we do; it's something worth getting. TOT Instance last week and the week pre- yious, we gave one dozen dlshes Witn a hound of Tea. and everyone was pleased with them. and this week, and ifs fhis week ONLY, we will give ID bars of pearl soap with one pound or our warranted good Baking Powder 45 cents per pound.

timent,
Every year, every person In Amer

one thing--cataloguing his reasons for
being thankful to the Deity for the
blessings conferred upon him and
upon the human race during the expir-
ing j. months.
This is well. and as 1t should be;
but IL Is too one sided. No one ever

but can tnat really be the case with
him? II he had "a voice how would he
regard the years results In Russia?
doubtless the most that lie can be
thankful for Is that the carnage and
suffering are not as bad as they might
be-.
He will have noticed that life in
surance In New York has gone toler-
ably rotten, and the widow and or
phan have had sorrowtul time OF It
at the hands Of their chosen pro-
tectoTs. Doubtless the most he is
thankful for Is that the rottepness and
robberies have not been absolutely
complete.
HE has noticed the political smell
ascending from New York. Philadel-
phia and 50 or 20 other municipalities
has been modified a little temporarily
and doubtless. Is thankful for that
transient reprieve.
"He has observed that King Leo
polds destruction of innocent life on
the Congo IS not as great this year ~
1t was last by as much as 100000 VIC

Without doubt he himself is thank
ful that matters in the Congo are not
as irretrievably bad as they might be,
and that some natives still are left
alive"

Marquis ITO SUMS UP
THE KOREAN SITUATION.

Seoul. Nov. 2S.--Marquis Ito In sum-
ming UP the Korean situation dwelling
upon the trust placed by foreign pow
ers In Japan, by allowing that gov
eminent a free hand; the responsible
ties of Japan to the natives, and the
fact that the peninsula would not be
an Eldorado for japanese spolsmen,
said to the Associated Press today:
Various irresponsible newspapers
have greatly embarrassed Japan by
writing of Korea as a conquered state,
where the Japanese were free TO do
anything Irrespective Of the rights of
foreigners and the natives. and that
the Korean people were not to be con-
sidered.
This has aroused suspicious among
the Koreans.
THE emperor Of Japan sent me to
arrange new treaty, to which the
emperor of Korea has agreed, al
though the proposition met with some
opposition from other sources.
Although Korea has transferred her
conduct of her foreign relations to
Toxic she retains control of her In
ternal administration,
I'VE accept a great trust and a
heavy responsibility and the foreign
powers consent TO the new arrange

The American government has al
