Hay. After due elaboration and many
careful Inquiries the secretary recon-
mended Edward Henry Strobel. Bemis

Professor Strobel was offered the

Washington. Nov. 3.--Interest in
the case OF William Albers OF Des
Moines, Iowa. the American in Mic
aragua, who is under sentence of inn
prisonment for resisting legal process,
was revived yesterday by the appear
ance at the state department Of sew
eral persons who have figured in the
case.
First there was Consul Donaldson,
whose exequator was withdrawn be-
| cause of his energetic intervention In
behalf OF Albers. Mr.. Donaldson is
seeking to have the state department
! return him to Managua, IL only for a
short time, in order to vindicate him
self. He feels that regardless of any
thing that has been said of Albers
character, he simply fulfilled his duty
as consul in endeavoring to secure q
speedy trial for an American citizen
There Is some reason to believe that
the Nicaraguan government may be
induced to take this view, because the
consurs relations with the principal
! officials from the president down, had
always been exceedingly friendly be-
fore the Albers incident occurred. In
any case, Mr.. Donaldson's future will
be provided for by the state depart
ment, and il he does not return to

DON'T DISMISS TACT
OUTSIDE THE HOME

Why do SO many people leave their
tact on their .doorsteps? A friend OF
mine famed for her tact In society never
dreams of using 1t to make the wheels
of her home life run smoothly. Her
husband comes back tired after long
days work, and she instantly begins to
complain of some trivial misdeeds she
has discovered on the part Of the gar
dener or coachman. He does not cs.re
to be worried with 1t then, and words
ensue. "Why did you want to bother
the poor man about 1t just now"
heard her sister ask once. why rot
wait till he Is rested-till after dinner,
and then there would be none of this
FUSS
ooh, but that would be SO UNDER
hand!"
II do not see it. Why should you rot
study your husbands moods in the
same way as you would those of q
friend?"
But no, the good lady sticks to her
belief that 1t is mean to take advantage
of times and seasons and that the
proverb about there being time for
speech and a time for silence was never
meant to apply to home life. The re-
suit Is needless petty fuses and an at
mosphere Of anything but peace.
Another lady / know who leaves her
tact on her doorstep is a widow with
several grownup sons and daughters.
Among her large circle OF friends she
Is noted for her power of putting you
at your ease, seeming instinctively to
know what to say and what to avoid.

grave faults, demands enforced that

perpetual sense Of irritation, and her
children take every opportunity Of be-
ing away as much as possible.

THANKSGIVING DAY
President Roosevelt Names Thursday,
November 80, as Day of Thanks
giving for the Past and Prayer for
the Future.--The Procl am alton.

Washington Nov. 3.--,The president
naming Thursday, Nov. 80, as day for
Thanksgiving.
The proclamation follows:
by the president Of the United States
OF Amerca.---A proclamation: When
nearly three centuries ago the first set
tiers came to the country which mas
now become this great republic, they
fronted not only hardships and priva-
ton, but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years
the custom grew Of setting apart
one day in each year for special
service of thanksgiving to the Almighty
for preserving the people through the
changing seasons The custom has
now become national and hallowed by
immemorial usage. We live in easier
and more plentiful times than our fore
fathers, the men who with rugged
strength faced the rugged days, and yet
the dangers TO national life are quite
~
in our history. 1t is eminently fitting
that once year our people should set
apart a day for praise and thanksgiv-
Ing to the Giver OF Good, and the same
time that they express their thankful-
ness for the abundant mercies receiv-
ed should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive
to overcome them. During the past
year we have been blessed with
bountiful crops. Our business pros
perity has been great. No other people
has ever stood on as high level OF
material well-being as ours now
stands We are not threatened by foes
from without. The foes from whom we
should pray to be delivered are our
own passions, appetites and follies; and
against these there Is always need
that we should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thursday,
| the both day OF this November. as a
day Of thanksgiving for the past and
OF prayer for the future and on that
day ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and places
of worship and In rendering thanks I'M
| to the Most High for the manifold
blessings of the past year, consecrate
themselves to life Of cleanliness. honor
and wisdom, so that this nation may
do It's allotted work on this earth In a
manner worthy of those who founded
It and Of those who preserved 1t.
In witness thereof ] have hereunto
set my hard and caused the seal Of the
| United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of washington, this
I'd day of November, in the year OF
our Lord 1905, and Of the independence
Of the United States the 130th.
