THANKSGIVING
President Roosevelt and Clover
nor ElrOd Proclaim Thanks.
giving.
FROM THE PRESIDENT

The time OF the year has come when.
in accorda ance with the wise custom of
our forefathers, it becomes my duty
TO set aside q special day OF thanks-
giving and praise to the Almighty be-
cause of the blessings we have receiv.
ed, and OF prayer that those blessings
be continued. Yet another year Of
widespread well-being has passed.
Never before in our history or In tho
history of any other nation has .
people enjoyed more Astounding ma
terial prosperity than is ours, .
prosperity SO great that it should
arouse in us no spirit Of reckless
pride, and least OF ali spirit of heed
less disregard of our res responsibilities.
out rather a sober sense OF our many
blessings and resolute purpose, un-
der Providence, not to forfeit them Oy
any action of our own.
Material well-being, indispensa able
though 1t is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as q house where only
the foundation has been laid. Upon
our material well-being must be built
superstructure of individual and
national lives In accordance with the
laws of the highest morality, or else
our prosperity itself will In the long
run turn out curse instead Of .
blessing.
We should be both reverently thank
ful for what we have received aud
earnestly bent upon turning it into .
means of grace and not of destruction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday. the twenty ninth day Of
November next, as day OF thanks-
giving and duplication, on which tho
people shall meet In their home or
their churches, devoutly to acknowl-
edge all that has been given them.
and to pray that they may in addition
receive the power to use these gifts
Alright.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal az
the United States to be affixed. Done

second OF October, in the year of our

FROM THE GOVERNOR


State of sonth Dakota, Executive De-
partment.
The people, the plain people, of thu
state have great reason to be thankful
for the many and bountiful bless ines
which they have enjoyed during tho
past year.
In all probability the state hes
never been freer from sickness and
disease, and of all our blessings
none surpasses that of good health.
Another great blessing which our
people have enjoyed is they have had
all the work they could possibly do.
The reward has been the fullest
measure and the result is that Our
homes, the humblest - we'll a. tho
richest, are provided with ell the nee
essaries and many OF the comforts Of
life. There is . something about To
completeness of the South DakOta
home, that strong as the word n,
does not fully convey an adequaeo
idea OF the comfort and hospitaltGg.
found therein. Doubtless there 40
exceptions, and where they exist it =
my earnest wish that friends and
end that all may enjoy Thauksp iylnH
Day. Toward the unforlun atsA o.
let our motto be, "It IL more bleeeeA
to give than to receive" sgs
The multitude of blessings which -
are enjoying this year ought to make
US better givers TO worthy, deserving
persons and causes, and cid us il b.
ing better and truer citizens.
To Him who sends the rain upon
the just and the upjuet, let us give
thanks in our hearts, in our acts, -
our homes, in the SCHOOL,, (vu We'd
nesday afternoon and in i..e hurcheo
throughout the commonwealth. In =
word, let us remember that the yeaap
just closing has been the f.ttert ia IT,

1t occurs to me that we ought T. be IL

HER THREE .SUITORS
vVvylV syvVvVVV
tcopyrishs. by Joseph 3. Bowlss.,
By GERALDINE KEMP

In her garden sat Phrygia one eve hing amongst the roses and the yellow elder bushes. Her summer home shs called Sweet Briar Farm" and when in 1t. this little lady became the sim plest of country maidens.
 An open letter fiuttered upon her knee; in fact, three open letters; each containing proposal of marriage, or to speak more correctly, renewed proposal of marriage, for the letters were from the aforesaid three in par ticular, who had pressed and who were still pressing their suit with urgency. Phrygia. as it happened, liked them all, but sure of none was at loss to choose between them. MT. Waldon was the cleyerest; Dan Courtney the wealthicst; Harry Bond, the best look ing, but of the true nature of the three. Phrygia had her doubts. Wise in her generation, she was only too keenly alive to the fact that neither wealth nor wit, nor mere outward comeliness, necessarily brought wifely content to soul or spirits.
 T cont suppose 1 shall get what want, but am going to try" she said, placing the letters in their respective envelopes, for 1t is certain that if I should make up my mind to marry, it will be either MT. Waldon, or Dan Courtney, or Harry Bond"
 The letter Phrygia wrote in answer to MT. Waldon's, forwarded to her, ran as follows:
 My dear MT. Waldon: You wonder where l am. We'll, 1 will tell you. I am rusticating at Sweet Briar Farm with my staid duenna, Lavinia Grey. You used to admire her lovely white hair and the way she looked at you through her lorgnettes. Will you join us! Come if you can on Wednesday next. Very sincerely, Phrygia."
 And to ths letter forwarded from Dan Courtney.

 And to that from Harry Bond:
 Dear Hal: If you can tear yourself away from your business, or whatever else occupies your valuable attention for just one day come and see me. I shall expect you on Wednesday. Phry- gia.'' I
 The letters were posted.
 "Will they come!" Phrygia inquired of Lavinia.
 To which Lavinia made sage reply:
 If they don't meet first at Dove. dale perhaps they will"
 But if they do?"
 Then think they won't"
