THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
THURSDAY, NOV. 80, NAMED as
THE DAY
Thanks for Abundant STercies, Boun-
tifuI Crops, Business Prosperity,
and Prayer for Grace.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The president
today issued his proclamation. naming
Thursday. November 80 next, as a
day for thanksgiving. The prOclama-
ton follows:
By the president 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 re-
public, they confronted not only hard
ship and privatiOn, but the terrible
risk 70 their lives. In those grim
years the custom grewOf setting apart
one day in each year for a special
service Of thanksgiving to the Al
mighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons The
custom has now become national and
haIlOwed by immemorial usage. We
live in easier and more plentiful times
than our fOrefathers, the men who
with rugged strength. faced the rug
ged days, and yet the dangers TO ma
tional 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
Giyer Of Good, and, at the same time,
that they express their thankfulness
for the abundant mercies received,
should manfully acknowledge their
Shortcomings and pledge themselves
soIemnly and in good faith to strive
TO overcome them. During the past
year we have been blessed with boun-
tiful crops. Our business prosperity
has been great No Other. people has
ever stood on as high level as We now
- Hh-nn
with foes without The foes within
are our passions and fOllies; and
against these there is always need
that we should war.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the Goth Of this November, as
a day Of Thanksgiving for the past and
OF prayer for the future. and on that
day I ask that throughout the land
the people gather in their homes and
places Of worship. and on their rem
dering thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings Of the past
year. consecreate themselves to a life
Of cleanliness. honor and wisdom, so
that this nation may do its allotted
work on the earth in manner
worthy Of those who founded it, and
Of those who preserved it
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set NY manu- anu Nc--4s7ENA LAAE sea- "a

second day Of November, in the year

REPORT on MAIL CONTRACTS.
Roosevelt Getting One to Use As
Weapon to Defend Rate BIZ.

Roosevelt Getting One to Use As
Weapon to Defend Rate BIZ.
Washington. D. C. Nov. 6.-Doubt-
less President Roosevelt thinks that
in the facts concerning the govern
ment's mail contracts there viii be
some ammunition that viii ut his
weapons At all events. when II be-
came known recently that he had
called on Postmaster General COrteI-
you for an exhaustive report on this
subject the Immediate inference was
that the president is storing his arsen-
al for the engagement he is to have
with the railroad interests OF the
country.
The government pays about $40
900, 900 annually 70 the railroads for
carrying the mails The rate Of COM
pensation now is the same that il was
fifteen or twenty years ago, although
in every other respect the rate Of rail-
road transportation has been reduced
within that period. This fact Of it
self has long been set forth as prima
facie evidence that the amount charg-
ed the government for this service was
excessive. Several efforts have been
made in congress 70 have the subject
investigated, but always without avail
Not only IS it asserted that the rate
that the method OF fixing the charge
amounts to a fraud against the gov
eminent
The railroads are not paid for the
actual weight Of the mails carried
but at long intervals the mails are
weighed for a number OF consecutive
days. and the average weight during
that time has been held to be a fair
basis for calculating the cOmpensa-
ton. It has been asserted that at
these particular times the mails are
heavier than they are at any time Of
the year, and II has even been charg-
ed that at those particular times the
much-abused documents and books
which the government prints and is
unable TO put OF on anyone are
thrown into the mails in large volume,
50 that the governments own folly is
used 10 add TO the cost Of the bill
that the railroads present against it
at regular intervals
There is a widespread belief that If
a scandal, scarcely less TnaIOdorOUs
than the worst that the country has
known lately, Will result
An investigation made at any other
time would doubtless suggest that the
president * merely bent on reforming
an evil, but coming now, as has been
remarked, IL has given rise TO the be-
lief among all who have heard Of the
request that the president intends to
use it as a weapon TO defend the rate
bill from the assaults OF the railroad
interests.

Fancies of the Hour.

For long neck a pretty collar may be made by gathering an inch-wide lace upon a very narrow band of white Swiss On the other side of the band a frill of narrower lace is sewn, and the Swiss band is then covered by a fancy beading, through which is run a band of black velvet ribbon.
 This collar may have cuffs to match and, if it has, is all the prettier. There are thausand and one ways of mak- ing these attractive neck finishings. and no limit to the materials which may be used, with the only proviso that they may be washable.

A cAMERA-ARTlST's DEN.
Boom Where the Amateur Photog- rapher Can Indulge in Display
 of His Successful Efforts.

Imagine a small room with walls of a grayish blue cartridge paper. a cream colored ceiling, black plate rail, and you have the foundation for this most artis- tic den.
 It had beer a question how to dispose of the hundreds of good, bad and in- different prints which had accumulated. and which were very dear to the pho- tographer's heart. He had books filled, records of many summer and winter out ings, but there were still countless prints unclassified. So this method was devised.
 There were the pictures of college days. These were mounted on piece of paper matching the wall paper. They were arranged according to fancy, trimmed irregularly-oblong. square. round-as best suited the subject. These made two or three panels, and were fastened to the wall by narrow strips of black holding.
 The prints of the Yellowstone camp ing party and western scenes made other panels. Home scenes-interiors were mounted together. Other groups were added until the room walls were lined. The effect was good. One corner was devoted to park views, one to city scenes. Then on the plate rail the photographer placed enlargements of specially good negatives, some of them simply framed in black, some in "passe- partout."
 For a screen this amateur photog- rapher made frame five feet high, con- taining three panels two feet wide. joined by hinges. These he covered with grayish blue burlap, fastened on with brass tacks. On these panels he put exclusively blue prints. One panel contained baby pictures of his boy up to two years old, the next panel up to four and the third faithful record of this child's life up to the age of six for this father had taken the boys picture every month since his birth.
 It Is needless to say that this room was the admiration of all friends, who dearly loved to sit there when calling The furniture was all simple, known as mission style, in black finish; also the work of this clever amateurs hands, Chicago Record Herald.

Sanitary Banda ges.

Too many people run to the family ragbag when a finger is cut, and band age it with the first bit of goods that comes to hand It is dangerous to put coored calico strips, or soiled white rags on wounds. and children should bs aught to use only clean ones in tying up cuts. AS soon as a handkerchief. napkin, or any piece of white linen Is too old for use in any other way, wash and rinse it we'll, iron thoroughly, dry and fold neatly and put in clean box where all the members of the family will know where to find it.-Exchange.

THE AGREEABLE WOMAN.
Her Influence Far-Reaching and she Refreshes All with Whom She Comes in Contact.

The woman you like to meet, and who never stays too long when she comes to see you, and to whom you reluctantly say good-by, may not be either rich or beautiful or particularly brilliant in in- tellect, but she carries an unmistakable charm with her which it might be well you, yourself, should seek to acquire She always says the Good morning" as though she particularly meant the good" part of it, and when she shakes hands with you she is not satisfied to merely touch your fingers. When you look at her face, no matter how dark the day may be. you instinctively feel that the sun is shining. and she always infuses feeling of comfort into the atmosphere about you, no matter what was 'in the air" just before she came in
 No matter how "blue" you felt while the door was closed between you, things get rose-colored very quickly after she steps across the doorsill, and, somehow the smell of spring blossoms, the glint of birdwings and the flutter of sum- mer leaflets All the air, which, before her advent. was dreary with the odor of de- srsying leaves. the gray of winter clouds and the moaning of the wind through the bare branches of the souls winter St. Paul Globe.

TABLE MANNERS.

Always be prompt in attendance at meals, particularly when you are the guest of another.
 Never seat yourself at table until your host or hostess gives the signal; and never, gentlemen, until all the la dies present are seated.
 Always sit quiet in your chair neith- CT too near the edge of the table, nor too far from it.
 Always let the napkin lie upon one knee. Never spread it across the breast nor upon the lap. It is more customary in the best circles not to unfold it more han its length.
 Never lean upon the table.
 Never touch anything upon the ia, ble unless necessary. either the fooG CT he table furnishings.
 Never take more than one dish of :oup.
 Never crumble bread into your soup nor into your cup.
 Never press food upon guest when ne has refused.
 Never be disturbed by any accident that may occur; if possible let it pass vlthout the slightest notice.-Green' Fruit Grower

SHOULD EAT SOUP DAILY.
Americans Do Not Pay So Much At tention to This Course as
 They Should.

Celery Soup.-Well wash and mince finely. or grate, two large heads of eel cry, using the white partA only. Boil this in quart of milk, adding in gradually three or four ounces of rice Let this cook all together very slowly till tender. when you sieve it, grad ually diluting it with good white stock till of the consistency required; sea son to taste with white pepper and salt, and stir in at the last spoonful of rich cream.
 Haricot Soup.-Well wash a pint of beans. removing all the float or those that are damaged, then add those beans to three pints of cold water. with tea spoonful of salt, and, if liked, small onion and a sliced carrot. with eight or ten peppercorns. Bring this to the boil. then let it cook gently for half an hour, when you stop the boil by pouring in about half . teacupful of cold water Let it all simmer again, and repeat this watering every half enough to sieve. (It is impossible to give a time for this. as 1t depends en- tirely on the age of the beans.) Now sieve the beans through . hair sieve, diluting them as you do so with white stock (either meat or vegetable) till you get 1t to the consistency required. Let this all boil up together again, re- moving any scum that rises, and just before serving stir In either an ounce of butter or three or four tablespoon fuls of thick cream. Serve with cro- tons of fried bread lremember these should never be smaller than 1orin piece; the tiny dice so often served with thick soups harden to a rock and become absolutely indigestible). Len tils, fiageoets and peas may all be cooked by this recipe, but for the last you will find it best to use the dried Italian green peas" adding a handful of spinach to improve the color. Fail ing this. two or three drops of Mrs. A. 3. MarshalTs green vegetable color ing should be stirred in at the last with the cream.-Madame.

THE FINE ART or COOKING
With . Little Study of Subject House wife Can Give Pleasing Va
 riety to Bill of Fare.

Unhappy Is the housekeeper who has allen into a culinary rut. She does not always belong to that class who must count every penny spent upon her table. More often she is one of those women whose household allowance is neither very small nor very large. She is not forced to devise new dishes from eco- nomical materials, nor can she indulge in epicurean feasts Therefore her task of planning meals is apt to lack zest for herself, whereas if she would occasional ly embark upon astronomical voyage of adventure, the result would be stim- ulating to her own interest and emil nently pleasing when the family circle gathers around the dinner table.
 For instance, many women who think that sweet potatoes boiled or baked are sufficient variant on the Irish or white potato, will ind that they lend them selves to many other tasty dishes, nota- ply the recipes used by southern house keepers.
 For breakfast dish or entree at din- ner, they make . delicious scallop. Take potatoes that have been boiled or steamed until tender, and when cold slice moderately thin. Put layer about an inch thick in the bottom of . shall low pudding dish. Sprinkle with butter and white sugar, add another layer of potatoes. then butter and sugar again. Continue until the dish is filled. Scatter butter and sugar over the top and pour over the potatoes just enough boiling water to keep them from burning. Cook half an hour in moderate oven. run- til the potatoes look transparent and are delicately browned The sugar may be omitted and seasoning of salt and pepper used. Should the potatoes be- come dry. haste with melted butter Those who do not like too much butter will prefer this dish if ffhalf cupful of melted butter is mixed with boiling wa ter, and used to baste the vegetable.
 Another way of serving the tuber is suited to dinner. luncheon or supper. Cut the cold potatoes into slices little more than an inch thick. Fo9 enc quart melt half cupful of butter cd add to t a plentiful seasoning of s&N and pep per and two tabIespoonfuls of sugar Dip the skSes in this mixture lay in a buttered pan and cook about ten minutes in hot oven. When glossy and brown they are ready for the table.-Louisville Courier-Journal.
