The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1905-11-24


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-
brating the peace treaty, which was
held in 1884, the day was allowed to
lapse until I7S9, 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 to be
thankful on somewhat slim provoca-
ton. But 1t also shows that the COB
blers shed their blood for the country
rs we'll as the men.

closed in the session of theSsttete

Tuesday Mr.. Nichols disclosed a.
series of payments to w. S.. Manning
OF Albany, former actuary, who had
been connected with the investigation
of insurance companies in 1877.
Mr. Hughes inquired as to a report
that Manning had been in possession

ed during this investigation; and that
would have been detrimental to. the
Equitable. Mr.. Nichols could not re-
call the suppression of the informa-
ton, but he detailed the payment or
sums of money over a considerable
period to Aiming as an inducement
to give up his business as ,actuary,

UNCLE SANS THANKSGIVING
In These Days 1t Covers Much of the
Earth's Surface.
1t must be remembered that the pres
idents proclamation appointing day
of thank Offering and praise to the
Most High goes not only to the forty
five states and territories, but also to
the new island dependencies Of the re-
public-Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines. The natives Of these trop-
ical chimes take quite kindly to any
sort Of holiday, especially holiday
that involves q feast, so that Thanks
giving Is already popular among them.
Uncle Sans national bird, the gobbler,
is not well known to them yet, but 1t Is
quite probable that they will appre-
ciate his highness when they are better
acquainted with his succulent qualities.
There are enough native Americans in
the various islands, including soldiers,
merchants. officials, schoolteachers and
the like, to see that the introduction is
properly brought about.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken From ST. Paul Papers
of 1865.

Boat races by the large river
steamers are becoming of FREE
quent occurrence. One of the
most noteworthy and exciting
was that of this week between
the Jeanie Deans, Hawkeye
State and the Brilliant. The
course was from ST. Louis to
st. Paul. The boats left St.
Louis at A o'clock Monday af-
ternoon, Deans three minutes
ahead of Hawkeye and six
minutes before Brilliant. The
race was teiegraphed to up riv-
er points and the levees were
crowded everywhere on their
approach. Keokuk was reach
ed in 211a hours, the best time
ever made. The boats were
everywhere close together. and
their dashing speed was wit
messed by many thousands.
1t was a magnificent sight
those three large packets
crowded with passengers, ev-
cry pound of steam on con-
stantly and their smokestacks
belching forth clouds of smoke.
They steamed into Keokuk
with only 200 yards between
them, Deans leading. The
Deans remained at Keokuk.
Two others coaled hurriedly
and put on a full pressure of
steam for the run to St. Paul.
The race was won by Brilliant.
At Lacrosse she was three
hours ahead, and kept the lead
all the way up. reaching here
early Friday morning, making
three days and four nights for
the trip.
Hole-in- the-Day, the distin-
guished Chippewa chieftain, is
at the Merchants hotel. Mr..
Hole in the-Day is one of the
solid men of the state, so far as
money goes. He has mag
nificent farm a mile square, a
comfortable dwelling and a
number of horses and cattle.
| His income is about $1,000 a
year, and is free from income
tax. He has just given an
order to Ben Cooley, the ar
fist, for a portrait, life-size, in
the highest style Of the art. We
are glad that a good portrait Of
| friend Ho1e-in-the-Day is to be
secured. He is loyal and pa.
triotic man, and it is to be re.
GREETED that his offer to the
government to raise battal
ion of Chippewa soldiers to &C
| south under his command was
not accepted. They WOULD
have done good service il
fighting the South.

children needed, with the price Of
same. also agreed that il they
would send me the money, | would

is; Don't wait for your patrons or

needed about the school. Plunge in
and do things yourself Don't inn
agine that your only duty in school
is TO hear the children recite and
draw your princely y salary. Make
yourself useful 10 the community in

The "gloaming" Is by origin akin to
gloom. The root idea is 10 look covert
'ly from beneath the brows not with
full open eyes. and so the cleaning Is
that time of day when the sun, sinking
below the horizon. shines obscurely un-
der the advancing shades Of night, as
eyes may CLEAN dimly from lowering
brows.
Byron, the poet, wrote, "As gloam-
ing, the Scottish word for twilight. has
been recommended by many literary
men and particularly by DR. Moore in
his letters to Burns, have ventured to
use it ON account OF its harmony"
The evening star is called the "gloam-
ing" star in Scotland, and Lowelrs
The snow had begun In the gloam-
Ing" and Hogs "'Twixt the cleaning
and the mirk. when the kye come
hame," are familiar instances Of Its
use.
