time and money trying to extract gold
from one Of the greatest copper belts

March it began to dismantle the mill
and took possession of its electric light

There is good deal of form and cere-
mony about the making OF the Thsnksgiv-
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 IL is carefully copied
In ornamental writing that is almost ike
engraving 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 II
is very carefully guarded under lock and
key. Its keeper will not produce It with
out a special warrant signed by the Presi-
dent, and an impression OF the seal Is
quite ceremony In Itself. When the
proclamation has been thus duly signed
and sealed many copies are made OF 1t By
clerks, and one Is sent to the Governor
OF every State In the Union. 1t Is also
given out then to the press agents, who
telegraph Il all over the United States.
Each Governor, as he receives II. Issues
one himself for his State.

OUR PRESIDENT
HAS RETURNED

Washington, Nov. 80 Completing
a remarkable trip to Panama, during
which he travelled several thousand
miles by steamer, when he visited not
only the isthmus but Porto Rico as
well, voicing his enjoyment of the en-
tire trip, President Roosevelt returned
to Washington Monday night. The
trip up the Potomac on the converted
yacht May flower, to which he and his
party were transferred from the Louis
lana at Piney Point in the afternoon,
was made without special incident.
The president landed within 10 min
utes'a the arrival of the May flower.
He stated that he had delightful
trip and was feeling fine.
Speaking of his trip the president
said:
1--WE have had very pleasant and
very enjoyable time, and l am deeply
impressed with the United States navy
as well as with Panama and Porto
Rico. "
An unfortunate incident occurred in
the lower Potomac in connection with
the presidents trip mp the river. The
yacht Oneida, in the service of the
District of Columbia, naval militia,
and on which were the commanding
officers and others of the militia, had
dropped down the Potomac to Piney

They were received with such a hail Of

Thanksgiving. of tn. Revolution.

There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental Congress for
observance among the colonies during the
war OF independence. After the one lied
for the purpose Of celebrating the peace
treaty, which was held in 1884. the day
was allowed to lapse until 1889, when
Washington took his seat as President.
The idea in these early days was to offer
thanks on some special occasion. That
our ancestors could find eight such occa-
sions during the dark days Of the Revolu-
ton shows that they were ready to be
thankful on somewhat slim provocation.
But 1t also shows that the gobblers shed
their blood for the country as well as the
men.
