Thanksgivfngs of the Revolution.

There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental congress
for observance among the colonies dur
ing the war for Independence. After
the one called for the PURPOSE of cele-
brsting the peace treaty. which was
held in 1884, the day was allowed to
lapse until 1888, when Washington
took his seat as president The idea in
these early days was TO offer thanks on
some special occasion. That our ances
tors could find eight such occasions
during the dark days of the Revolution
shows that they were ready 10 be
thankful on somewhat slim provOca-
ton. But it also shows that the COB
blers shed their blood for the country
as well as the men.

wn.hinston.. First Thanksgiving.

The initial national Thanksgiving
vas held Under Il proclamation by
George Washington i'll the first year OF
the new republic. 1879. Washington
issued one other proclamation of like
nature in 1875. Adams also issued one

Of thanks after the close of the war OF
1872. So far as presidential notice was
concerned. the day was allowed TO
lapse. however. until permanently re-
vived by Abraham Lincoln in 1868. In

day set apart by the president as enc
for Offering thanks national holiday.

Thanksgiving i'm Japan.

Americans have fondly ina gined that
Thanksgiving day is an institution pc
culiar TO themselves. Not SO. The won
derful Yankees of the orient us the
japanese have been called, are like US
in more ways than one. One of the re-
semblances lies in the fact that both
countries have Il national thank giving.
PerhapN it would he more modest 10
say that we are like the Japs i'll this
respect, for they had their ThaIAsgiv
ing first. 1t Is not known just how old
the institution is with them, but il
must date back some centuries. The
day Is celebrated on the 18th of Octo-
Der, and thus, with them as with us, it
is thank offering for the larvests and
SO occurs in the autumn.
The day opens in Japan by the mika-
do going to the shrine before sunrise
and Offering thanks and applications
10 God and to the spirits of his ances-
tiers. After the rising sun, which is ia
pans emblem, comes out over the pic
turesque hilltops OF the island empire
a state banquet is'ordered. and similar
banquets are had all over the kingdom.
The laps have no turkeys to grace the
occasion, but they have other tooth
some dishes peculiar TO themselves. 1t
is probable that they do not indulge in
giuttony quite as much as we. for they
are an abstemiOus people. Khen the
day, if not Indictment, is spent in parks
and under the trees.
1t is safe to say. however. that while
the japanese Thanksgiving antedates
ours. nothing was known of il by our
Puritan ancestors.

A PERFECT FOOD.

That SCOTS Emulsion
should act so quickly and
satisfactorily in all cases
of lost flesh and continued
wasting Is not surprising
when its food value is UNI
derstood. With pure Nor
wegian cod liver oil, hypo-
phOsphites of lime and
soda and glycerine, there
Is combined in SCOTS
Emulsion the best Gle
ments OF nOurishment and
strength building known
to medical science. ANY
physician will tell you this.
The use of these ingredi-
cnts in the proper proper
tons; the employment of
only the purest grade of
each, and to combine them
perfectly is the secret of
the success of SCOTS
Emulsion. You will not
find a more certain way to
stop waste, build flesh and
strength and supply nour-
lshment than through
SCOTS Emulsion.

WATTERSON ON PAUL JONES

Colonel Watterson, in the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, takes occasion
to correct some erroneous impress
siOns with regard to John Paul
Jones, whose remains have recently
been brought to this country. II
seems that a French naval authority
speaks of Jones as having died
in great wretchedness, obscure and
poor Colonel Watterson calls this
an outrageous perversion of truth.
The facts are that after the war
of the revolution Jones was received
in London with the greatest distinc-
ton. The Army and Navy club de-
lighted to honor him. Burke and
Fox were his familiars. Horace
Walpole was his intimate friend. To
them all he was dear Paul"
The only act of piracy" ever al
legged against him was his descent
upon Selkirk castle, when some of
his men, failing to find Lord Selkirk
carried away the family plate.
Learning of the pillage, Jones, i'm
mediately after getting back to
Brest. purchased it out of his own
pocket and returned it to Lady Sell
kirk with letter of apology The
Selkirks thenceforward were among
his most ardent admirers.
In his last illness the king of
France sent daily to ask for his
health Had he lived a week longer
he would have been admiral of
France. The French assembly
rose upon its feet and stood I'M
covered while the resolution of re-
spect was being passed. He left a
large sum of money to his two sur
viving sisters. He died the ranking
officer of the American navy.
Three weeks after his death letters
came from Washington and Jeffer-
son, placing our marine interests in
Europe in his hands and authorizing
him to organize an expedition to go
after the Barbary pirates. He stood
in the relation of a son of Franklin
OF a brother to Jefferson, possessing
the fullest confidence of the father
of his country, Whenever he APP
pears upon the written page we see
not only naval commander but a
statesman, his writing, in its calm
wisdom and crystal lucidity, remind
ing us of the writing of Abraham
Lincoln.
Personally he was the most cap
tivating of men, handsome and
gentle. When he came back from
his wonderful sea fight the duchess
of Orleans lodged him in the Palais
Royal. The king made him a
cnevalier of France. Paris went
wild. In the court, in the highest
French society, he was literally "a
bowling SWELL though he himself
did none of the ''howling.' There
is not a blot on his escutcheon.

/ O~1~N0C~O~N'
Deputy Sherin w. A. Cox-There
is nothing this county needs more.
now that new courthouse Is as
sured, than a brace of good blood
hounds. This is demonstrated
very frequently and there are many
crimes of recent date in Yakima
county that could have been I'M
earthed and the perpetrators
brough to justice in a short time
IL we had owned a couple of good
dogs well trained There. for in
stance, was the finding of the little
girls body, recently, in the
Schanno ditch. With dogs the
trail of the mysterious man in gray
could have been followed, and there
is every reason to believe he could
have been located in few hours
The expense of getting and keeping
a brace of hounds is not great. and
with them this office would be far
better equipped to do the important
work it is required to do"
X. S Poynter or the Yakima
Produce Company: "Ranchers show
very poor judgment in baling such
large quantities of hay right out of
the field, without letting it go
through the curing process in the
stack. When baled out of a shock
and often after being there but a
short time, the hay is very liable to
sweat and become more or less dam
aged and frequently ruined Deal
ers are afraid to load up heavily on
hay known to have been baled from
the shock, and will not pay as high
a price as for hay that has been
stacked and well cured, when the lat
ter is obtainable. A little more time
and care in getting the hay ready for
the market would result in IA stabler
market and better prices for the
growers"
City Clerk Brooker: ~ can't I'M
derstand why a voter who is
/ eligible to registry and who knows
he must register before he can vote
at any election in the city, puts off
/ so important matter until the last
day and hour. BY doing that they
add to the work of the clerk to such
an extent that for several days before
election extra help has to be pro-
vided TO accommodate the voters
am not SO busy now. and can give
time to the matter at any convenient
time during ONCE hours. The oath
must be administered to each indi-
vidual registering. and it takes sew
eral minutes in each case SO far,
since the books were opened a
month ago, about 10 per cent of all
the legal voters in the city have
registered"

is much in Mr.. Sawyer's argument

heart
