Der Of residences have been put up,

to have said that the Rock Island

a reasonable rental for their employees

For nearly three years the people
have been trying to meet this demand,
and have eXerted themselves to the ut
most. Rents are high because Of the
sharp demand Unless something IN

REST AT LAST.

The way seems long to the weary feet
But It leads at last where the shadows
sweet
Fail in silence over the breast
In the beautiful valley Of perfect rest!
Rest for the weary''-the melody
seems
To sing its way through a worlds dim
dreams!
The way seems long, and the flowers
are few
That bloom for the wounded breast Of
you;
Yet We know, when the tears and toll
We shan rest with the lilies Of God at
Iasti
with the lilies Of God on brow and
breast,
In the beautiful valley Of perfect restl
Break. o tempests. on starless skies,
And rain, o tears, from the sadden'sd
eyesl
Evermore is the joy OF the song;

long,"
There Is balm for the weariest lives

THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER %.
The President Issues His Thanksgiv-
ing Proclamation


washington, Oct 23.-The presi-
dent today issued a proclamation de-
claring Thursday, November g. to
be q day OF thanksgiving
The proclamation in part is as fol-
lows;
Never before in our history or in
the history Of any other nation have
the people enjoyed more abOunding
material prosperity than is OUTS q
prosperity so great that il should
arouse in Us no spirit Of reckless pride
and least OF all a spirit Of needless
disregard OF our responsibilities but
rather a sober sense Of our many
blessings. and a resOlute purpose, IN
der Providence, not to forfeit them by
any action OF our own
Material well being, indispensable
though IL IS, can never be anything
but q foundation Of true national
greatness and happiness If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our national life viii be as meaning
less and empty as the house where
only the foundation has been laid
Upon our material well being must
be built a superstructure Of individual
and national life lived in accordance
with the laws Of highest morality, or
else our prosperity itself will in the
long run turn out a curse instead Of 2
blessing. We should be both rever-
emily thankful for what we have re-
ceiyed and earnestly bent upon turn
ing 1t into a means Of grace and not
OF destruction"

RaTTIER WAs VIcIous-
John Keeran Had to Run o. G
Bitten

John keeEam Had to Run Ok Get
Bitten
The only thing that saved John
Keeran from the ferocious and dead
- assault OF a big rattle snake Non
day was a hasty retreat He did not
only have to fall back" but he had
70 turn his retreat into a route to save
himself.
As soon as the man and the reptile
met, the snake opened a hot fight, ad-
yancing as swiftly as possible to get
within striking distance. The Snaks
fairly leaped and for some reason
seemed to be intensely angry on first
sight
Keeran kept thinking that the rat
tier would quit and would halt
momentariIy, when TO his uncomfort-
able surprise the broad protTuding
jaws were raised in front Of g. heavy
coil and the snake almost in the act
Of leaping.
with a sound akin to the noise Of the
lOcust-the warning rattle OF the rat
tier.
But ali this time Mr.. Keeran, be-
up a fight himself He had been out
TO his farm a mile east OF town, and
had a package Of nails and loose wire
staples in his pockets He was afoOt,
and without anything to protect him
self against assault OF this kind, eX-
cept his legs
He didn't kick at the snake, but
he got the package OF nails out and
threw them at his opponent, missing
Then he threw handfuIls Of loose
wire staples, then his jack-knffe, and
in his desperation, he even cast his
watch with the hope OF landing on
the enemy, all without effect
He had covered so much territory
BY this time, that he came across
what looked Ike the jaw bone OF an
ass, and in casting this he wounded
the snake He repeated the dose and
the RATHER at last looked much worse
after than before taking The snake
was game TO the end, and doubtless
would not have been so easily knock
ed out had not Keeran hit upon the
Samson implement Of warfare
Generally a rattle snake will not
push a fight nor even open one il IN
mOlested, but this is an exception to
the rule. Several people have been
killed in this section OF country this
year by the bite OF rattIers. and their
bite is bad medicine

Week in and month out, from all
appearances, GOOdland is head and
shoulders above any other town in
western Kansas for push, life, pro-
gress, growth, population, enterprise,
or anything else that comes up, and
the various new public improvements
made in that thriving little city, with
its 1900 persons, within the past year
are its best witnesses to this assertion
