her. The lesson began. The pupil, who

All for One Chinaman.

The Chinese laundrymen on board
some of the battleships often contrib
ute amusing situations, as the follow
ing incident taken from letter re-
ceived from the north Atlantic fleet by
an officer of the navy yard will show:
There was a minstrel on board the
Alabama and all the captains and Off
GERS of the fleet were assembled on the
quarter deck awaiting the arrival Of
Rear Admiral Barker, commander-in-
chief of the fleet, when somebody
shouted, "Gangway! gangway!" All
thought it meant the admiral was
coming, and everybody lined up in two
lines and stood at the stiffest atten-
ton. Not an eyelid batted as down the
line came Mr.. One Lung, first-class
Chinese laundryman, in his Sunday go
to-meetin's, smoking fat cigar and
holding his head high in air. After
marching impressively down the line,
he squealed out: Belly good; me
muchee like minstlel show; me Ilish,
too" And Admiral Barker on his gig
in the water wondered what the ap-
plause meant that came over the waves
to him.-Brooklyn Eagle.

A PROCLAMATION
In Which the President Sets Aside
Thursday, November 20 as
Thanksgiving Day.
A CUSTOM OF F0REFATnERS
While Mindful of Our Unprccedcnt-
ed Prosperity We Should Live
in Accordance with Laws of
of Highest Morality.

Washington, Oct. 24-The president
Tuesday issued proclamation NAM
ing Thursday, November 29th, as a
day of Thanksgiving. The text of the
proclamation in part follows:
The time of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, it becomes my duty
to set aside special day of thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty
because of the blessings we have re-
ceived, and of prayer that these bless
ings may be continued Yet another year
of widespread well being has passed.
Never before in our history or in
the history of any other nation has a
people enjoyed more Astounding ma
terial prosperity than is ours; a pros
perity so great that it should arouse
in us no spirit of reckless pride. and
least of all a spirit of needless dis
regard of our responsibilities; but
rather a sober sense of our many
blessings, and resolute purpose, un-
der providence, not to forfeit them
by any action of our own.
Material well being, Indispensable
though it 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 a house where
only the foundation has been laid.
Upon our material well being must
DE built a superstructure of individual
and national life lived in accordance
with the laws of the highest morality,
or else our prosperity itself will in
the long run turn out curse in
stead of a blessing. We should be
both reverently thankful for what we
have received, and earnestly bent up
on turning it into means of grace
and not of destruction.
Accordingly hereby set apart
Thursday, the Goth day of November,
next, as the day of thanksgiving and
duplication, on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them. and to
pray that they may in addition re-
ceive the power to use these gifts
Alright.
"In witness whereof | have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal

of Our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and six, and of the Independence
Of the United States the one hundred

Telephone Stories.

Tales of the telephone There is a
little town in America where the pub
lie telephone is available for all kinds
of domestic USE For instance, the eX-
change gets this notice from hard
worked housewife: 81 am very tired,
and just going to take nap. Wake
me at four o'clock" Or this: Il have
put packet of hairpins in the baby's
cot and may forget that | put them
there. Just remind me-" These de-
mands are punctiliously obeyed. 1t is
said in Paris that the shah is very fond
of the telephone. He rang up French
mayor and asked: What sort Of
weather are you having?" The indig-
nant mayor denounced the frivolity of
ringing him up for such purpose.
ooh, yes" rejoined the eastern poten-
tate mildly, but I'm the shah of Per-
sia." AS shah sounds like the French
word for the harmless necessary puss,
the mayor retorted: Even if you are
Persian cat, that is no excuse for new
ing at me and wasting my time!"

THE JAPANESE SITUATION
Open Rupture Threatened Over the
San Francisco Incident.
Question of Exclusion of jap Chill
dren From Public Schools TAX
en- into California Court.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Friday's cab
met meeting lasted two and One-half
hours and was attended by all the
members except Secretary Shaw and
Postmaster General Cortelyou. Among
the important matters discussed was
the situation growing out of the an
ti-American sentiment in Japan and
the exclusion of Japanese children
from the public schools of San Fran
cisco. 1t was stated by member OF
the cabinet after the meeting that
the general opinion was that the ia
panese situation was exceedingly
grave and would require the most
delicate treatment to avoid an open
rupture.
japanese restaurant keepers have
suffered indignities in San Francisco
as well as Japanese school children,
according to reports received by the
Japanese ambassador, Viscount Aoki,
from Japanese consular officers in
that city.
At least seven or eight reports have
been made concerning boycott in
augurated against Japanese restau-
rants in the California city. Agents
have been posted to prevent patrons
from entering the restaurants and In
several instances stones have been
thrown and windows broken, accord
ing to the statements of Japanese Of
ficials
It developed Friday that the pro-
ceedings initiated in San Francisco
Thursday to compel the authorities
to receive Japanese pupils into the
public schools were directed by the
department of justice.
President Roosevelt has directed
Victor H. Metcalf, secretary OF the de-
partment of commerce and labor, to
proceed to San Francisco and make
thorough and complete inquiry into
the situation.
San Francisco, Oct. 27.-Judge VOL
berton, of the United States circuit
court, has issued an order to the
board of education Of San Francisco
citing that body to show cause why
an injunction compelling the reinstate-
ment of |. Yasuhara, Japanese pupil
recently excluded from the Pacific
Heights grammar school should not
be issued. The board is ordered to
answer on November 5.
This order was issued following an
application fer an injunction pre-
scented to Judge Wolberton with the
intention of making this test case.
The application for the injunction Is
made on the grounds that the present
resolution of the board OF education
excluding Japanese pupils from the
city schools is in violation Of the con-
stitution of the United States and also
in violation of a treaty now existing
between the United States and the
empire of Japan.

Gonzaga saw them trembling On her
lashes, and following up his advan-
tage: Perhaps l can help you to help
herr" he ventured.
"Oh, il you can--if you will, / shall
be so glad. so grateful" was her i'm
pulsive admission.
May l try?"
Before she could reply, they were at
the door of the cabin. On the door
step America sat in silence. Nor did
she speak as they approached, only
removing, at Lavender's hint, one
ebony hand from the doorsill where it
barred entrance. For the Spaniard,
with his dark eyes, olive skin and
raven hair, found no favor in her
sight.
Gimme white folks, er jes' plain
niggahs," she would say, II don cot
ton to none O. desc yer cross,breeds."
Ordinarily the ignorant soul was
willing to learn, and docile under argu-
ment, but in the matter of race she
recognized but white and black.
To admit the Spaniard, therefore,
she moved ever so slightly, with a
poor grace, and visage severe.
Into the darkened room Lavender
led the way, but Gonzaga stepped
swiftly in advance, and tiptoed alone
to the bedside.
DO you know me?" he asked in a
whisper.
Mrs. Creighton's voice was weak,
but apparently free from delirium as
she murmured: Il do, indeed, and you
wear the halo with a good grace"
Then added: "Those who come out of
the daylight appear to my eyes to be
so topped, sir. But your halo is bright
est of all. Perhaps it is because OF |
what you have done for us-of your |
knightly services, Mr.. Winslow."

CHAPTER XVII.

Circumstances seemed conspiring to
favor the suit Of Gonzaga. Held a
close prisoner at her mothers bedside,
Lavender was never able to go to the
village. She saw nobody who could
give her information that might lead to
doubt Gonzaga's version of the story of
that night. Gerald's lips he had sealed.
and Winslow was Ill. unable-too
