PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The President has issued his procla-
as day for thanksgiving, as follows:
BY the p resident of the United States
of America-A Proclamation:
When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came to the country which
has now become this great republic, they
fronted not only hardship and privation,
but terrible risk to their lives. In those
grim years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year Tor a spe~
cial service of thanksgiving to the Al
mighty 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 as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t is eminently
fitting that once a year our people
should set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the giver of good, and,
at the same time, that they express
their thankfulness for the abundant mer-
cies received, should manfully acknowl-
edge 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 prosper
ity has been great. No other people has
ever stood on as high level of mate
rial well-being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from with
out. The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own pas
sions, appetites and follies; and against
these there is always need that we
should war.
Therefore l 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 peo-
pie gather in their homes and places
of worship, and in rendering thanks unto
the Most High for the manifold bless
ings of the past year, consecrate them
selves to a life of cleanliness, honor and
wisdom, so that this nation may do it's
allotted work on the earth in manner
worthy of those who founded it and of
those who preserved it.
In witness whereof / have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington this
second day of November ia the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
five and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and thir-
tieth THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

MAssAcREp A CAVE.
Missionaries at Lienchow Pursued by
an Infatuated Mob.

ah <uOOs
Bishop Merel, of the Catholic Church
at Hongkong, has received Il letter con-
firming the news of the massacre of
American missionaries at Lienchow
and giving the following particulars:
Dr. Machle requested the removal of
a street theater near by the hospital on
account of the noise. This request in
censed the Chinese, who becoming vio-
lent attacked the hospital. The mob
then paraded the street exhibiting the
skeleton used in the instruction of the
medical class and alleging that it was
an example of the foreigners inku
mainly to the Chinese people. Becom
ing frenZied, the crowd burned the hos
pital, the girls school and the resi-
dences of the missionaries.
DR.. Machle, Mrs. Machle, their 30
year-old daughter, Mr. aud Mrs.
Pearle, DR.. Chestnut and Miss Patter-
son took refuge in a cave. The mob
pursued them and killed all except DR..
Machle and Miss Patterson, who es-
capped to the yamen, DR.. Machle was
badly wounded The American gun
boat Calao and two Chinese sunboats,
with members of the American board
of missions, proceeded to the scene of
the massacre.
Advices from Canton declare that
the measures taken to suppress dis
turbances in the provinces are made
quate and that the native officials will
not give out any information on the
subject.
The Catholic converts have written
to Bishop Merel to petition the giceroy
of the province for the protection of
the French mission at Lienchow.
1t is declared that the boycott head
quarters at Canton received the first
news of the massacre of the American
missionaries at Lienchow, but the ma
tive gentry assert that the boycottors
are not connected with the slaughter.

CHAPTER Y

Roland Lansdell dined with his uncle
and cousin at Lowlands upon the day
after the picnic, but he said very little
about his afternoon ramble in Hurston-
leigh Grove.
The Lansdells of Mordred were NOT
q long lived race, and Roland's father
had died suddenly while the boy was
away at school; but his mother, Anna
Lansdell, only sister of the General. lived
to Re her sons companion and friend in
the best and brightest years of his life.
His life seemed 20 lose its brightness
when he lost her, and this one great
grief, acting on a naturally pensive tep,-
permanent, must have done much to con-
firm that morbid melancholy which over
Swallowed Mr.. Lansdell's mind
His mother died, and the grand in
ducement TO do something good and
great which might have made her proud
and happy died with with her. Roland
said that he left the purest half of his
heart behind him in the cemetery. AIasi
the great misery of his life afflicted him
most terribly here. He did not believe.
For him there was no sweet whisper of
the hope ard the tempest of despair. In
vain-in vain he strove to look beyond
the grave. He prayed, but it may be
that he prayed amiss, for the light never
came to him. He was not too proud TO
seek for sympathy and consolation from
the person whom he loved next best to
her whom he had lost. That person was

Grenat is a new name for vinegar
color, which will be worn.
Those fluffy ruffs of dotted maline

There's a popular fancy for wear
ing the hair parted and drawn back.
Plated skirts are shown in many
variations and they are still the favor

The close-fitting bodice now in vogue
has created a demand for or-fitting
underwear
The tailored shirtwaist is the only
one which is permissible with black
tailored skirt
The newest silk stockings have their
owners monogram embroidered just

Quaint-looking little Red Riding
Hood cloaks for small girls are among
the newer offerings.
No evening gown is completed with
out its gauze scarf, several yards long,
of a harmonizing color.

Gwendoline Pomphrey, his betrothed
wife, the beloved niece of his dead
mother.
He was engaged, and he was very
much in love with his cousin. A two
years interval between their ages gave
GWendoline an immense advantage over
her lover; she practiced thousand femi-
nine coquetries upon the simple, gener-
Gus lad, and was proud of her power over
him and very fond of him after her own
fashion, which was not very warm one.
Her father had told her all about Ro-
lands circumstances, and that the set
Elements would be very handsome.
Roland went abroad with his dying
mother. He came back alone, six weeks
after his mothers death, and went
straight to Gwendoline for consolation
He found her in deep mourning, all a-glit-
ter with bracelets and necklaces of shin
ing jet looking very fair and stately
in her trailing black robes; but he found
her drawing room filed with callers, and
he left her, wounded and angry. He
thought her so much a part of himself
that he had expected TO find her grief
equal to his own. He went to her again
in a passionate outbreak of grief and an
ger; told her she was cold-hearted and
ungrateful, and that she had never loved
the aunt who had been almost mother
to heri Gwendoline was the last woman
in the world to submit to any such re-
proof. She was astounded by her lovers
temerity.

HOW CONvICTS TELEGRAPH.
Rap Their Messages Through Thickest
Walls of a Prison.

Rap Their Messages Through Thickest
Walls of Prison.
Every prison has its secret 'tele-
graph for it was not to be expected
that cunning offenders could be long
confined together, says Spare Moments,
even on the separate cell' system,
without discovering method of secret
Accommodation. Prisoners rap
their messages" to each other, and eX
perience has shown that an attentive
ear may receive and understand COM
munication thus made through the
thickest prison wall.
The raps correspond regularly with
the letters of the alphabet, which is ar
ranged for the purpose into six rows,
the first beginning with "a" and tn.
last beginning and ending the series
with ~" The first rapping indicates
the row in which the letter is to be
found, one for first, two for second
and so on; the subsequent raps, given
after a slight pause, show the number
of the letter in the row. At first the
table must be kept in mind, but after
a little practice the prisoner is enabled
TO dispense with all conscious refer
ence to it, the message being really re-
ceived, as in the Morse biography, in
the forms of symbols standing in place
of letters.
In Russia the clew is not so much
i'll the system itself as in the nihiliSt
method of manipulating language with
n view to concealment. This is clear
from what happened recently in one
of the central prisons. Word had gone
round to protest, not only against an
excess of heavy work, but against the
bad quality of food supplied to the
prisoners and the protest was to take
the form of a refusal to perform the
usual tasks ON the men being called
together after breakfast.
Somehow or other the governor OBJ
tanned the message as it had been
raped through all the walls, but he
took it literally as plot to break
prison by the whole of the convicts, so
he armed the whole of the warders 10
the teeth, taking effective measures to
prevent the assembly on the morrow
This blunder had a highly beneficial
effect upon the discipline of the prison,
for the convicts obtained not only inn
mediate immunity from the heavy
tasks to which they had not been ac-
customed, but afterward enjoyed bet
ter food and more humane treatment

Do Ducks Commit Suicide?

Several correspondents have written
me touching the question raised in my
notes of wounded ducks committing
suicide, says John Burroughs in Out
ing. Four or five cases have beeu
brought to my attention of wounded
ducks that have Owed to the bottom
and held fast to some object till they
were dead.
l do not for a moment dispute the
fact; only differ from my correspond
ents in my Interpretation of the fact.
Ny explanation of it is this: The
wounded bird has but one impulse, and
that is to hide from its enemy. If it
were on the shore it would hide In the
grass or weeds. In the water 1t dives
and in its death agony holds to some
plant growth at the bottom.
In all such cases the bird is no doubt
MORALLY wounded and dies quickly.
When it is not wounded unto tieatl:
it swims under the water, seeks the
shore creeps out very cautiously and
tries to escape in that way. The intent
of deliberate suicide is of course alb

MOST DEADLY OF POISONS.


Their Manufacture Is Forbidden and
Their Are known to But Few.
1.-THE more dreadful poisons," said
chemist, ARE only known to a few
men. Mercury methide, for instance,
the inhalation of whose fumes pro-
duces incurable idiocy, can be manu-
featured by two Italians, and by no
one else in the world
''DhatOora is a poison used in India.
1t, too, produces incurable idiocy. A
British army officer told ne of a sad
case-a case of two rival tailors, one
of whom gave the other a small dose
of dhatoora. The victim of the drug
remained an idiot all the rest of his
life. He sat and moved his empty
hands as though he were sewing. He
was a formidable rival no longer.
'Mercaptan produces a melancholy
so great as to terminate nearly always
in suicide. No government would per-
NIT the manufacture and sale Of this
poison.
"Dhatoora, mercury, methide, mer-
captain and some twenty other p0isons
are neither made nor sold in any pub
lie way. They are only exp ,imented
with. Such poisons would be formid.
able weapons in INSCRIPTIONS hands.
Driving their victims to suicide or to
insanity, they leave behind them moth
ing suspicious or untoward The Civ
er of these poisons is secure from any
fear of punishment
Hence it is no wonder is it. that
the learned men who know such poi,
sons keep their knowledge to them
selves? If dhatoora, for instance, were
obtainable, think how our opera sing
ers, our painters, our dressmakers ami
our money kings might fill the lunatic
asylums with their rivals

cited!" Tradition takes a strong hold
IN the nursery. 1t is voted cruel in
difference Ito let baby cry" The
very mother who best recognizes the
value of "a good cry in calming her
own overwrought feelings can least
make up her mind to allow the same
relaxation to the baby for whose ner-
vous condition she is probably entirely
to blame. The tiny baby's fretfulness
is, as rule, purely physical, and espe-
cially dependent on overexcited nerves.
Any mother who will allow her baby
to grow for at least six months of its
life in restful atmosphere, absolute
~ unstimulated beyond its natural
pace of development will have food
for thought in comparing her results
with those of the more common train

A bride who finds a spider on her
wedding dress may consider herself

The bride who dreams of fairies the
night before her marriage will be

No bride or bridegroom should be

Is is a sign of evil.
If the bridegroom carries a minia-

always have good luck.
If the wedding ring is dropped dur

well wish herself unborn, for she will

Wheels of plated ribbon interiac-

trimming and one which is easily ap-

necessary to keep the center of the

Keeping Ink Wells Clean.

To keep your ink wells clean, pour
out the ink once a week and thor
oughly wash the bottle in hot water.
Then rub perfectly dry, says the
Brooklyn Times. If this is carefully
attended to, the pens well wiped with
bit of channels after being used, you
will cease to be peevish at your desk
when you have hurried note to write
and find no worthy material to use.

Jefferson City lady decided 10

The next time the erring spouse came

the costume. AS he opened the door
she stepped forward and said il sepul-

as the response which greeted her
was: "Zat so? Shake, OF boy; I'm your

boomers for Children.

Sensible mothers are going to let
their little girls wear boomers with
their winter suits. These boomers may
match the stockings or petticoats-
thus for instance, a child wearing
LACK shoes will have pair of
black silk or black cashmere boomers.
Where brown shoes and stockings are
worn the boomers will carry out the
color note. 1t is not so desirable to
have the boomers made of the ma
terial of the dress. 1t is too suggestive
of the boys knickerbockers.
