Ann Boyd
By VIII H. Harden

Ann Boyd is a character one
may meet only once in fiction.
Single handed she fights the bat
tie of injured womanhood. She
sturdily faces the conventional
prejudice of years in her home
town, and at last wins out. And
strangely enough, her grim tri-
umph is brought about by the
happy romance of her enemy's
daughter. There is real clash in
the story of feminine rivalry.
1t is woman against woman, and
both women win.
"a novel of absorbing interest,
tremendous story of trials and
triumphs, glowing with human
ity, that must be ranked among
the best books in recent Ameri-
can fiction" Boston Times.

NATION PROCLAIMS
ITS GRATITUDE.

WASHINGTON, October 2s.-The
President today issued a proclamation
naming Thursday, November 2e, as
day Of thanksgiving.
The text OF the proclamation is as
follows:
~ The time OF the year has come when,
fl accordance with the wise custom Of
our fathers. 1t becomes my duty to set
aside a special day Of thanks giving and
praise to the Almighty because of
DRESSINGS We nave received and OF
prayer that these blessings 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
abOunding material prosperity than
ours; a prosperity so great that ii
should arouse in US no spirit of reck-
less pride and least of all a spirit Of
needless disregard OF our responsible
ties. but rather a sober sense or our
many blessings and & resolute purpose,
under Providence, not TO forfeit them
by any action OF our own.
Material wei being, Indispensable
though il is, can never be anything but
the foundation of true national great
ness and happiness. II we build moth
ing upon this foundation, then our
national life viii be as meaningless
and empty as a house where only the
foundation has been laid. Upon our
material well being must be built a
superstructUre Of individual and ma
the laws Of the highest morality, or
else our prosperity itself viii in the
long run turn out a curse instead OF a
blessing
We should be both reverently thank
ful for what we have received and
earnestly bent upon turning it into q
means OF grace and not of destruction.
Accordingly, I hereby set apart
Thursday. the 29th day of November,
as the day OF thanksgiving and sup
plication upon which the people shall
meet in their homes or churches, de-
voutly acknowledging that which has
bfen given them and TO pray that they
NJ in addition receive the power to
Use these gifts Alright
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States 70 be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this
tvventv-second day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and six and OF the independ-
ence OF the United States the one hun
dred and thirty-frst.

LAND TRIALS END
IN ACQU|TTAL.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. 23.-Judge Car
land in the United States Court today,
on motion of attorneys for the de-
fense, ordered a verdict for the de-
PENDANTS in the first of the land fraud
cases to be tried in the Federal Court
of South Dakota. The case was that of
Thomas H Ayers, John L Newell, How
ard A Binford and John F. Mcclure
of Pierre, who were indicted on TWEEN
ty-three counts for engaging in con-
spiracy to defraud the Government of
tracts of land situated in Western
South Dakota. The defendants pro-
cured fifteen soldiers widows from
Minnesota TO make an entry on fifteen
different tracts Of land, which were i'm
mediately leased to cattlemen.
Judge Garland held that at the time
of the offense, alleged to have been
committed in July, 1903, the rulings of
the Land Department and the Federal
laws authorized soldiers widows to
make entry of public land without the
necessity of making settlement upon IT.
and also authorized them to lease land
even without seeing it.

COURT CITES NEW
YORK LIFE MEN.

NEW YORK. Oct 23.-The interna-
tional policy-holders' committee today
obtained an order from Justice Bischof
requiring the New York Life Insurance
Company and its directors to show
cause on four counts why an inunc-
ton should not be granted restraining
the defendants from carrying on their
campaign for the election of the "ad-
ministration" ticket at the expense of
policy holders.
The action was instituted by Stephen
Farrelly, general manager of the
American News Company, He made
the complaint in his own behalf and
on behalf of all other policy holders
of the company, to restrain waste and
diversion of the company's funds and
to compel the directors to account for
the large sums already expended in
carrying on their campaign.
The action is the result of the COM
pany's alleged plan of campaign, by
which the mutiIated official ballots are
alleged to have been sent out through
the company's agents with the names
Of the candidates on the international
committee ticket stricken off and all
ballots containing the number of an
existing policy.
It is further claimed that every ef-
fort has been made by personal So
licitation Of the company's agents and
by circular letters from various Off
cials of more or less prominence to
induce the policy-holders to vote the
administration ticket. Mr.. Farrelly is
a candidate for trustee on the inter
national committee" ticket of the New
