Thanksgiving Day And Epworth
Orphanage.

November the goth has been ap-
| pointed as a National Thanksgiving
day. That day will be time OF gen
eral rejoicing and praise, of thanks
giving and prayer throughout the
country. In South Carolina there
are many whose hearts will be stir
red with gratitude to God for HIS
tcontinued and abundant rnercles and
blessings to them and theirs. Their
lives health and strength have been
precious in His sight, and the bless
ings of heaven have been upon their
homes and their business undertak-
ings. TheyNwill be pleased to give
suitable expressions Of their gratitude
+ to God for His goodness to them.
This can best he done by aiding His
poor, unfortunate and sorrowing ones.
He says, "Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these my
bretheren, ye nave, done it unto me. "
The dependent, homeless orphans are
dear to His great, loving heart and
there is nothing perhaps that we
could do for Him, that would please
Him more than to care for these lit
Etle ones. .-.: -:'.
On Thanksgiving let the orphans
be specially remembered, let arrange
ments be made in every community,
by which the more fortunate can show
their gratitude to God by helping the
;atherless and dependent. By contrib
uting of our means in their behalf we
aonor Our Lord and becoms bless
ing to others. While there is general
rejoicing Throughout the land, should
not the orphans have some evidences,
some sweet tokens Of their fathers
reve and care?
Money, provisions and dry goods
will all be acceptable and helpful.

terprise and enrichment. And so the
animal ruler Of The wide, wild West
ern world has hunted, driven back.
and brought TO the verge OF eNterml-
] nation.
It would challenge artistic talents
of the finest artist to portray the
| qualities and nobilities OF such a
matchless specimen of beast creation,
and then his melancholy yet detlant
grandeur as he witnessed the merc'-
less extinction of his race.
Man, however, is conqueror, and
time is the paramount consideration.
Time is health and wealth, and to
time everything succumbs. The Buf-
falo, the primal lord of the Land"
| has been driven back in obedience to
the law OF advancing civilization and
the imperative demand Of time, the
speediest time. The railroad meets
the demand of time, and, specifically,
the Union Pacific railroad meets the
demand Of the speediest time.
Formerly the race across the great
Western portion OF the continent was
by the horse and the caravan But
something better was to come over
twin lines of steel, climbing peaks
threading canons, covering vast plans,
came the first engine OF advancing
civilization with it's human frelghtage
in eager search of the one supreme
goal-life and prosperity. But still
! the best had not been attained.
How weary the caravan! How te-
dious the early railway passage over
the great Western world! The culml-
nation. however, was to come-has
come.
And this widely coveted zenith,
this supreme desideratum Of man and
object of mans search is here. On
a Union Pacific train. "The Overland
Limited" Electric lighted, equipped
with every luxury and comfort, one
crosses the Western Continent OF
America in two nights from the Mis-
souri, River and three nights from
Chicago.
l. Extinction-resurrection! If 1t
means extinction to one OF the noblest
types of the animal kingdom. it also
means a resurrection to man who was
made lord of that kingdana; resur-
rection into a wider, grander sphere
of development, usefulness and higher
civilization.

an order dependent on blood in th's country which he is not eligible to join. For ali his pre-Adamic ancestry he is proud that he is an American,
 He came down Broadway busting with that pride on the night before the British squadron of Prince Louis of BattenbGrg sailed for Gibraltar. It was a Sunday. He had dined well. Exter- nally he was clothed in a tall hat and a clawhamer. Internally he was decked with patriotic joy. At Thirty second street he met three blue-jackets and one marine of the British flagship Drake.
 Behold 'em," said the Duke, stop ping the progress of the British Navy '.Incipient citizens. Coming brawn in blood of country. Dutch blood runs my veins. Also English. Prouder of English blood than Dutch. Darned old Dutch! Come Tong with me. m learn to be citizens. Have a drink.
 The Duke led his herd to a cafe near by chartered private room and sent for champagne. Oceans of champagne, he told the waiter. After half past ii, when the management objected, he piled his new citizens into two cabs and drove to Turkish bath on Forty second street, He paid at the door, ushered them inside and thus addressed the atendant:
 Four good 'Merieans. Givvem ev- erything you got. ". Shave, shampoo.

shine, perfume, rubdown, everything. ''
 At half past they woke the Duke and told him that the order had been carried out.
 "'Ju manicure 'em?" asked the Duke
 No, sir" said the attendant.
 Well, why didn't you? Stay. Feet must be sore walking decks. Send for eheiromancer."
 'Cheiro--' ventured the attendant.
 Manicure the teos, that's wot," said the Duke. So the British were mani cured as to the fingers on their hands and the fingers on their feet.
 And when they awoke, it having been champagne, the four British tars and the patriotic citizen of pre-Adamic ancestry hung over like. the caves of a Queen Anne cottage. The British fleet was gone long ago, and they were plain deserters.
 The recruiting sergean for American citizens took them all to breakfast at the Martin. After that, he ordered up his auto and showed them the city after a manner befitting anybody's birth and station, That night he drove them to the Hippodrorne, where. he bought the best box in the house. after which they retired to the same old Turkish bath.
 Give 'em everything you got. Moth ing too good for your Uncle Sam," said the Duks. And don't forget to cheir- pod tlpair toestn <. The marines sobiected

of republic there. He says the mili- tary forces have gone over to the revo- iutionaries, and that the latter had full possession of the city.
 The Associated Press has received a private and reliable report from Mos COW saying that the authorities there are extremely nervous as the city is de- nuded of troops, the soldiers having
 been sent to the neighboring provinces, especially southeast. Less than 10000
 troops remain in Moscow, and this force is considered to be utterly made
 quate should a crisis occur.
 Japan has finally agreed to accept Russia's decision against raising the missions at Tokio and St. Petersburg
 to the rank of embassies at present. Japan accepts M. Bakhmetieff as Rus
 sian minister at Tokio and Russia ac- cepts NJ. Makino Noboaki, the present
 Japanese minister at Vienna, as min ister to St. Petersburg. Foretign Sec retary Lamsdorff has notified Ambas-
 sador Meyer that M. Mal1ino Noboaki is persona grata and it is expected that the two ministers will proceed immedi- arely to ther posts.
 The government has been inVestigat- ing the antecedentS of Krustaleff and finds that he has an interesting history. He is Jew whose real name is Nossar, he is twenty eight years old and was born in Little Russia. His father was very poor small farmer and carpen- ter. The boy, overcoming great obsta- cles. managed to educate himself, f1n- ishing by passing through the high school at Lubin. He then tenered the law department of St. Petersburg uni versity, attracted attention by his bril- liancy and came to the fore, at the time of the attack by mounted police on the students in the days of General Von- nowsky, as the defender of the auton- omy of the universities. He worked as a printer during vacations and became impregnaCed with socialist ideas and absorbed iE the efforts being made for the better.uent Uf the condition of the workmen. Krustaleff also roamed among the peasants Investigating their conditions. Three years ago the police caught him redhanded drawing up so- cialistic proclamations to the workmen, but he wa6 realed on the ingenious plea that he was simply studying sociologi- cal conditions. When the ill-starred Schildlovsky reform commission was created after January P Krustaleff was one of the workmen's delegates ap- pointed to confer with the commission. Upon the governments disbanding the commission, however, Krustaleff urged the other deputies to work together and finally through his efforts the organiza- ton of the worknen was perfected and the workmen's council, of which he was elected president, was created.

THE DUKE.

How He Made Americans of the Sal-

 The singular thing about this story is that it's true. It comes from the hero of the yarn himself, from truth ful and unimaginative attendant at a Turkish bath, and from many friend of the hero. It you are not, prepared to believe it in its entirety please read no further. In the author you are deal ing with a shrinking and sensitive na- ture, delicate as a flower, who could not bear to go on writing if he sus- pected that one reader suspected him.
 The hero, for reasons which will an- pear, will be known only as the Duke In reality he looms up in the Social Register as large as a poetical quota ton in Tammany speech. His list of clubs in the club directory takes lip two lines. He has long line of Dutch and English ancestry, and there isn't

This morning they called, with Congressman Sperry, on secre- tary Taft and invited him to come. The secretary received them with great cordiality, and assured them he would gladly go, if he could. His duties were, however, so arduous, he said, and his time so limited that he has been oblig- ed to refuse all invitations of A similar nature.
 Postmaster General Cortelyou was also appealed to, but he was also obIig- ed to decline.
