reverberations up from the low
lands south of town, where the
white mists of the morning were
offering their last resistance to
the lances of the sunlight. And
then | knew that men were
crouching, keen eye and alert, in
low bivouacs of tangled reeds and
grasses, and over them was the
music of wings and the white
powder smoke mingled with the
white mists of the morning-the
golden rays of the conquering
sunrise touched the green head of
the big mallard as he tumbled
headlong among the decoys that
rode so prim and stately on the

all the best schools throughout

These meetings are very bene-

school systems of Nebraska. If
some of these "unprogressivc
boards of education" would ar.
range affairs SO their principal

soon find no schools with three
high school grades for one

Commute recitation period in
the high school would vanish.

tion follows:
"By the President of the I'm,

"Proclamatlon: When, near
ly three centuries ago, the first
settlers came to the county
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 for a special ser
vice of thanksgiving to the AL.

pie through the changing sea
sons. The custom has now be.
come national and hallowed by
immemorial usage.
1--WE live in easier and more
plentiful times than our fore
fathers, the men who with rug
ged strength faced the rugged
days, and yet the dangers to
national life are quite as great
now at any previous time in oul
history. 1t is eminently fitting
that once Il year our people
should set apart a day for praise
and thanksgiving to the Givel
of good, and at the same time
that they express their thank
fulnesS for the abundant merCies
received, should manfully ac.

things are now as they used to be
long ago when | heard the music

somebody was feeling when |
heard the guns booming at sum

1t is said that over in a neigh
boring county man went tishing
and in the course of time, he got a
bite, but the fish got away talk
ing the bait with him. The man
was in the act of putting a fresh
worm on the hook when a deputy
game warden came out from the
adjacent timber and arrested him.
The man became angry and eX-
claimed why have been ar
rested? Can't a man re-bait his
hook without a fool game warden
pinching him for it," You
should know" said the warden,
that the courts have decided
that rebates are illegal" d." And
what the man thought about
it, was plainly contempt of court.
The suppressed excitement of
an election day is peculiarly an
American condition said well
known politician to a Tribune re-
porter Tuesday morning. Even
the most staid and practical of
men are subject to it and | doubt
if it is possible for any man to
transact his business quite as we'll
on election day as he does on
other DAYS. The knowledge of
the fact that the people of great
state or of great nation are eX-
ercising the sacred rights of their
citizenship seems to produce a
marked psychological effect. When
even very practical and TN
emotional man visits vast ca
thedral where solemn services are
in progress his soul comes uiide
the spell of an environment that
produces effect something Simi,
