increasing and men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers of praise for the bene-
fits of the past and the prayers OF
supplications for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can Grad
icate from man the belief that he IS
the creature Of a supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency OF
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful If the bel1ef
in mans divine origin was ever en-
tirely Obliterated from any human
mind With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful OF the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn
pies erected by our people in which
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience, that
they should meet together on this
day and give praise to Him who
watches over us.

primitive PILGRIM FcdStS.

It is supposed that our Pilgrim
parents were whetting their appe.
tites upon wild turkey at the very
moment when the news of their pos
sible ultimate starvation reached Eng
land. 1t must have been terrible in
deed on the approach of winter, with
few and imperfect firearms at COM
mand, for these desperate Puritans to
knock live gobbling turkeys off the
trees and make meal of them! No
spiced stufling with chestnuts and
oysters for them! Just simple tur-
key, roasted upon hot stones or boiled
in a cauldron instead of being smoth-
cred in a lidded receptacle basted
every fifteen minutes in its own
juices.

The Century in 1906.

The lavish promises of year ago
were splendidly fulfilled in The Gen.
tury during 1905-its verse and essays,
it's pictures and fiction, its articles OF
timely interest and permanent value,
went beyond all promise and expecta-
ton. The feast in 1906 will be even
richer than in 1905. There will be the
new novel by Mrs. Humphrey Ward,
"Fenwick's Career" new humorous
serial by the creator of Susan Clegg,"
and short stories by the ablest and
most popular writer's of the day. There
will be authoritative accounts Of such
wonderful work as our construction OF
the Panama Canal. w. s. HARDWOOD
will tell of Saving CALIFORNIA; Crops"
The director Of Cornells School Of Ag.
riculture, Professor L. H. Bailey, Wall
discuss the important problem OF the
young man and the farm. There will
be many other articles OF kindred value
and interest.

Philosophical.

They were gathered in front of the
postoffice in Long Island village dis
cussing Rockefeller's gift of 10000
600 for higher education. One of the
quartet, a farmer with son at board
ing school, remarked that the gift
was one which would benefit many.
The postmaster said there was no
doubt on this score. The village
smithy regretted he had been unable
to have the benefit of high school
education.

Qiaz Is Not Rich.

Contrary to the general opinion in
Mexico and abroad, President Dfaz is
not a very wealthy man. Intimate
friends of the Mexican executive, who
have knowledge Of his affairs, declare
that his fortune does not exceed ST.
100000. He owns a plantation in the
state of Oaxaca, some property in the
City of Mexico, and house in Paris.
This latter was purchased during his
first term as President OF Mexico,
when he feared that he might be com
PEELED to leave the country hurriedly
and seek refuge in foreign land. The
sa1arye of President Diaz is now $780,
0000 a year. For many years it was
only 100000. and, in the early days
of his administration, when Mexico
was weak financially, he drew out on
ly enough for his necessary expenses,
leaving the remainder in the treasury.
He is now serving his twenty-fifth year
as President of Mexico.

Only One Gobbler for Forty Hungry Troopers to
Make Feast Of
Boots and saddles!"

Boots and saddles!"
What stirring strains were those
bugle notes as they echoed and re-
echoed up the canons and through
the tall tamaracks at Camp Watson,
a typical frontier post whose barrack
buildings were of solid logs, located
In the part Of the beautiful Blue noun
tains where the hostile Snake Indians
ranged and disputed with CORY hand
the advances of the white man.
The little garrison at Camp Watson
had had hard work all the fall hunt
ing hostiles far and away even to the
.Owyhee, and now looked forward
with keen appreciation to Thanksgiv-
Ing day, which the next sun-up would
bring, and the frontier feasting 1t
would bring with 1t.
1T will be to all the boys at least
Z taste of home and mother" said
Major w. v. Rinehart, post command
or. as he instructed Lieutenant Tom
Hand to tighten labor and give his
men all possible liberty.
So the company game hunters had
brought in dozens OF big, fat grouse,
three deer and an elk, and the COM
pany cooks had given 1t out that they
would try their hands on mirce pies
provided some commissary fire-water
were rustled up for flavoring.
Everything looked promising for a
fine feast.
But the two hunters who had
brought In the elk also brought the
news that half mile away they had
found the fresh tracks Of an Indian
pony, and the telltale sign showed
that his rider had been spying about
Camp Watson. The tracks, two miles
away. jcined the trail of q large party
which had headed southwest. In the
trail were the familiar footprints of
many mules.
Then dashed into camp young Fred
Wilmarth, whose tough cayuse had
brought him from Fort Dalles. more
than hundred miles away, with the
news that the hostile Snakes had raid
ed down the John Day and captured
horses at the Maupin and Clarno
ranches. and burned Jim Clarke's
house.
The rough-riding raid Of the Snakes
had been very successful, for at Mud
dy Creek they had captured Henry
Heppner's entire train OF pack mules.
and that energetic pioneer had to fort
M in the rocks, and after escaping
with his scalp and reaching The
Dalles, had to begin business all over
again.
"Boots and saddles!" soon sounded
1t Camp Watson. Such news always
brought that stirring call.
Thanksgiving thoughts were laid
aside; they would have to keep for
another year. Capt. Boutelle's troop
ers were quickly mounted. Their

SEEK TO DEVELOP THE YAUTiA.
New Vegetable of Enormous Import
ance to Porto Rico.

Efforts are being made in Porte
Rico to develop new vegetable OF
economic and commercial importance.
It is called the 'yautia,' and is nearly
related to the taro-thc plant that fur
nishes SO valuable q food to the ma
tiyes of Polynesia, and which, under
the name of elephant ear" is famil-
iarly known as an ornament in our
own gardens.
Yautia was well known to the ma
Uyes of the West Indies long before
the landing of Columbus and was
cultivated by the Carbs when the
Standards first arrived. It's starchy,
tuberous root, which is the part that
is good to eat, looks somewhat like
sweet potato, and is six or eight
inches long, with a diameter OF n
couple OF inches. When cut into
pieces and boiled it resembles a boil
ed white potato in appearance.
The people of Porto Rico use the
root as substitute for the potato.
usually boiled, though there are sew
eral other ways Of preparing 1t for
The table. 1t costs one and half to
two cents a pound-twice the price
of taro root which itself is used as
a food throughout the West Indies.
The plant has long, spear-shaped
leaves. instead of the broad one re
sembling elephant ears, which dis
;inguish the taro.
There are about twenty-five varie-
ties of the yautia. 1t takes a very
long season to mature the plant
which would not produce plant in
the United States unless it might be
in the south of Florida and along the
gulf coast.-New York Herald.

the ravines. The firing showed that
the hostiles strength had been re-
duced. So had the number of troop
ers, and the wounded horses, unable
to respond to the bugle call, neighed
pitifully from where they had gone
down in the charge.
The wounded were being looked
after and their misery eased where
that seemed possible, when Donald
Mckay took the floor, and, in stentor-
ian tones and Snake dialect, told the
hostiles they had better cease firing
and surrender; otherwise the soldiers
would kill the last one of them
A defiant answer came rolling back,
and just then an Indian woman hold
ing up baby rushed toward the sol
diers, saying she would surrender to
save her child. A shot followed from
the gulch she had left, and her own
husband became her murderer. He
was stalking out to secure the baby
when bullet from McKay's carbine
ended his career. This baby boy was
afterward raised by pioneer cattle
man named Altnow, and became the
most expert vaQuero on the great Pine
Creek Range.
After a twenty-minute parley the
hostiles were given their choice of
determination or surrender, and final
ly chose the latter. Sulkily they came
into camp, what was left of them,
thirty warriors with guns, while as
many more lay dead and dying around
the camp. Dead soldiers were there,
too, six of them, and ten wounded.
Swapping fellows in the very flower
of youth, laid low on that Thanksgiv-
/ ing morning, sad sacrifice to the
cruel war waged in the winning Of
the West.
A sorry-looking camp it was, but
there was meat in it, for the Indians
had killed and dried most of Henry
Heppner's mules, and they had several
sacks of dried crickets and cowse and
camas, and a little flour stolen at An
telope. And this was all they had to
offer the guests who had intruded on
them.
But where Indians can live, soldiers
can exist, and the late Thanksgiving
breakfast was nearly over when
"Gobble! GObble! Gobble!"
Those were the words which came
from the adjoining sage brush, and
quickly Capt. Waters had surrounded
the sound and brought in big gobbler
that the Indians had staked out. One
of his tail feathers. painted white,
caused him to be recognized as for
mer resident of the Clarno ranch,
which nestled under the shadows OF
the high Cold Camp country. The boy
Frank Clarno had painted the feather
and soldiers passing there had no.

The THANKSGIVING Oocoocoo.

The original name of the turkey was
Oocoocoo, by which it was known by
the native Cherokee Indians. 1t is
supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers,
roaming through the woods in search
of game for their first Thanksgiving
spread heard the Oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl, Turk, turk, turk" These first
Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
cry of the bird for it's real song, Inn
mediately labelled it turkey" and
turkey it is to. this day. Much more
beautiful and musical was the Indian
name, "Oo-coo-coo," the notes peculiar

trailer was Donald Mckay, whose
grandfather was John Jacob Astor's
partner, and his grandmother prln-
cess of Concomly's Chinook tribe.
Away went the troopers just as the
westering sun went behind cloud
which broadened and blackened and
soon began to patter down In rapid
raindrOps.
1t was to be a swift pursuit and a
sudden striking of the enemy, and SO
every trooper travelled light, except as
to ammunition, which was $50 rounds
to the man. And big 50-caliber cart
rides they we're in those days.
Not a superfluous ounce was car
ried on the horses; there was no pack
train, NO impediments; merely a, few
hardtacks stuck into saddle pockets
comprised the commissary; the enc
my had food-capture 1t.
A good trailer was Donald Mckay,
and the footballs of his trained cayuse
told him in the dark the kind OF
tracks he was stepping in. Where a
small party of the hostiles had
branched of to the northwest Donald
knew their number and guessed their
object.
Silently the pursuit continued. Day.
light could not be much further away
than over the next divide. Suddenly
in the darkness just ahead, what was
that? The yelp of coyote? If SO.
it would soon be followed by chorus.
No. It was the bark of the coyotes
close cousin, an Indian dog.
Soon it was followed by another
bark, and bang! A bullet tipped past
the troopers.
Then came the defiant war whoop,
telling that the Indians had put none
but Americans on guard that night,
and that the warriors were stirring
and ready to meet the United States,
the great nation with whom they were
at war.
Quickly the troopers accommodated
them. There were volleys from both
sides, dashing cavalry charge
through the camp, reassembling by
bugle call on the other side, and
another rush through.
It was blind business, in the dark,
hut the Indians gave shot for shot as
they scattered around in the sage
brush and posted themselves in ra-
vines.
AS daylight came, the troopers
closed in on the camp, and what
warriors remained in it died defiant.
The camp was medley Of willow
pole wickiups and alternating wind
breaks shaped like the modern hats
worn by women. When the soldiers
| got full possession they rather ignored
| the scattering shots that came from
the ravines, for they would rather hive
| the bees that were left than kill them.
And they knew that the bulk of the
| women and pappooses had escaped to
