rs Those disgruntled and defeated
standpatters who are appealing to re-
publican voters to bolt the republican
ticket are for the most part basing
their appeal on the argument that de-
feat of the ticket this fall is advisable
in the interest of the party. In other
words that democratic success is to be
preferred, to party factionalisn. For
tunately for the party there appear TO

Faith.

Prayer Is the dew of faith,
Its rain drop. night and day,
That guards its vital power from death
When cherished hopes decay,
And keeps 1t mid this changeful scene
A bright, perennial evergreen.
Good works, of faith the fruit,
Should ripen year by year;
OF health and soundness at the root
An evidence sincere.
Dear Saviour, grant thy blessing frea
And make onr faith no barren tree!

There is good deal of form and cere-
monv about the making of the ThanksSiv-
ing proclamation. 1t is composed by the
President himself and in most instances
written out in his own hand. When this
is done the document goes to the state
Department. where it is carefully COPIED
in ornamental writing that is almost IKE
encravine on the official blue paper OF
that department. The next thing needed
on the document is the great seal OF the
government. This seal is kept by the
clerk of pardons and commissions, and 1t
is very carefully guarded under lock ana
key. Its keeper will not produce 1t with
out special warrant signed by the Presi-
dent. and an impression of the seal ls
quite a ceremony in itself. When the
proclamation has been thus duly signed
and sealed many copies are made OF 1t by
