"by some public religious and devout

Of his protection
George Washington as president Is
sued two Thanksgiving prOclamations,
the first one being In 1889, the first
year of his presidency. This was at
the, reGuei Of both houses of congress.
Washington set Thursday, Nov. 26, as
q day for giving thanks for the new
constitution and for civil and religious
liberty His document was quite long.
Washington made but one other
Thanksgiving proclamation. This was
issued on New Years day, 1898, the
president setting apart Thursday, Feb.
10, as a day Of public thanksgiving
and prayer" for manifold blessings,
but particularly for the possession of
constitutions of government which
unite and by their union establish lib
erty with order"
Though we see that 1t was Washing
ton who first named the last Thursday
in Novemb Der for Thanksgiving day, 1t
was Abraham Lincoln who first re-
turned to that day and named 1t twice

Sunday Laws Of Australia.

Melbourne, Australia, has some laws
which are wonders. One Of them pro-
nibits the opening of any cafe on Sun
lay before II o'clock In the morning,
and the unwary American who may
not know this finds himself suddenly
high and dry without a thing to eat
till II. SO he soon learns, if he's in
lodgings, to sleep till IL and then for
age forth.
Another nice thing that contributes
to the hilarity of the Sundays here
and the gayety Of nations generally
Is that there are no street cars running
till after o'clock on Sundays. All
the steam roads bring thousands Of
people into the city, but they have to
walk once they are inside the city
limits.
And If you buy bakers cakes and
pies to be taken away from the prem
Uses you may only buy them between
1 aud 3 Sunday afternoons. And you
may not invite friends to dinner with
you In Sydney, which is IN New South
Wales and under different Jurisdiction,
II you are living In a hotel, because
In some mysterious way, which is not
at all clear, you are breaking the Sum
day law.-New York World.

Some amateurs in provincial town
gave theatrical performance. Just
before the curtain went up the star
actor took the manager aside and said
to him.
"Now, look here! | don't propose to

lies must be preserved. We want to

"Oh, you want champagne at 10 shll-
lings bottle, do you?'
Eyes, sir. Everything must be re-
alistic."
"All right In the second act you
shall have real wine, and when you
take poison in the last act you shall
have some real poison. I'll see that

1862. The state papers at Washington
do not show any such proclamation.
They do show, however, that the presi-
dent proclaimed the last Thursday OF
September 1861, as a day Of "humilia
ton, fasting and prayer" in accord
ance with n joint resolution of con-
gress requesting him to do so. This
was in no sense thanksgiving proc
lamation. 1t was specifically a day Of
supplicatiOn that our arms may be
blessed and made effectual for the re-
esta blishment of law, order and peace
throughout the wide extent OF our
country and that the inestimable boon
OF civil and religious liberty, earned
under his guidance and blessings by
the labors and sufferings Of our ia
theirs. may be restored in all its origi'
nal excellence"
Again, in 1863, the president set
apart April so as day Of national
humiliation, fasting and prayer" fol
lowing q resolution of the senate to
that effect The first Thursday of Au-
gust, 1864, was also designated by Lin
coin as a day of national humiliation
and prayer at the instance of congress
both houses concurring.
President Johnson's first Thanksgiv-
Ing proclamation changed the date to
the first Thursday in December. but
the next year the successor OF Abra-
ham Lincoln returned to the great
emancipator's chosen last Thursday In
November, and the corresponding day
every year since 1866 with one excep.
ton has been proclaimed for thanks
giving. The exception was by Presi-
dent Grant, who in his first proclama'
ton for 1869 placed the date one week
earlier, Nov. Is.
President Johnson did not mention
the death of Lincoln as national loss
In his first Thanksgiving proclamation,
though in a proclamation shortly after
the assassination he fittingly deplored
the tragedy Both Arthur and Roose-
Welt, successors OF Garfield and Nc
Kinley, made fitting mention OF the
removal of their predecessors In their
FIRST Thanksgiving proclamations.
To President Grant belongs the dis
tinction of having issued the greatest
number Of proclamatlons for giving
thanks IN n'lidon to his eight annn-

after this proclamation the president
issued another calling for 3O0,OW

years or for the war.

Thanksgiving
Proclamati0ns
Of The
Presidents.
BY WALTON WILLIAMS.

NT0O Abraham Lincoln we are In.
debted for the establishment Of
our national thanksgiving day
by presidential proclamation.
He was the first president to designate
the last Thursday In November as
day of thanksgiving twice In success
sion The first proclamation, which
made the event explicitly "a day OF
thanksgiving and praise" was issued
Oct. 3, 1863. In the midst Of the civil
war. 1t Is literary masterpiece. In
stead of beginning with a review OF
victories at arms. 1t appropriately
opens thus: "Tbe year thatis drawing
toward It's close has been. filed with
the blessings OF fruitful fields and
healthful skies" Then the great presi-
dent passes on to speak Of the war,
giving thanks that foreign nations have
remained at peace with us and COM
mendirg to Gods tender care all those
who have become widows. orphans,
mourners or sufferers In the lamenta-
BILE civil strife In which we are un-
avOidably engaged"
For fifty-e;ght years. since 1910. no
presi, .ent had proclaimed day Of ma
tional thanksgiving President James
Madison in the year mentioned pro
claimed the second Thursday In April
as day of thanksgiving "for the
blessings Of peace" reference being
made to the close of the war OF 1912

WORKS FOR HER TOWN.
Girl Plans TO Make Columbia Most
Beautiful Southern City.

Beautiful Southern City.
One of tho enterprlsIng women OF
the south is Miss Belle williams Of
Columbia, S. c., who has devoted her
fine energies during the past three
years to the difficult task of arousing
public interest In the identifying of
her home town.
Columbia Is a growing manufactur.
ing town, the center Of large cotton
manufacturing interests. The Olympia,
said to be the most extensive cotton
mill In the world, Is located here. 1t
employs thousands of people, and Co.
lumbla is filling up rapidly with an IN
dustrial community whose attention Is
not easy to gain for anything Of the
aesthetic order.
Miss Williams has succeeded in stir.
ring up popular interest in a more
beautiful city through original and eff
fective methods, says the Memphis
Commercial Appeal First she got the
people together and organized a -four
ishing civic improvement league This
league was Immediately instrumental
In the drafting, introduction and pas
sage Of an ordinance creating the tree
and park commission Of Columbia.
They at once assumed the care of the
beautiful old trees which are Column
bias chief natural beauty. Then
flower seeds were distributed and
prizes offered for the best results. A
medal and two prizes were offered an
nually for the three best compositions
by public school children on some civic
improvement subject This was fol.
lowed up by illustrated talks.
The latest effort of the league, led by
Miss Williams, has been the procuring
and publication Of a comprehensive
plan for the improvement of the city
along scientific lines. A group Of ex-
pert landscape artists were brought to
Columbia, and the results Of their ex-
haustive study are presented in per-
manent form. illustrated with maps
and drawings of the proposed improve
ments, which are immensely valuable to
other cities having the same problem
to meet.
The plan as outlined shows plainly
that under Miss Williams initiative
the state Of South Carolina will boast
a beautiful capital before another dec
ade has passed.
