THANKSGIVING.

Hurrah for Thanksgiving on grand
mothers farm,
Where the bright winter sunshine Is
mellow aud warm,
And the apples lie red on the cold
frosty ground.
And the bushy tailed squirrels 20
friskIng around,
And the big, yellow pumpkins, like
gold 10 the sun,
May be kicked and rolled over, like
footballs, for fun;
Where the chestnuts are thick meath
the frcst-bitten trees,
And merry heart tingle is on the
north breeze.
Hurrah. for the day Of all good days
the best,
When people and dumb beasts are
glad and at rest,
And peace and good cheer are abroad
in the land,
And the blessings o:liyinR come warm
from Gods hand.

The Story OF the Day In Brief.

The story OF Thanksgiving Is old,
but never fails to add interest with
the retelling.
In 1921, u year after the landing OF
the Pilgrims, the leading elders OF
the Plymouth colony set apart a day
OF prayer and thanksgiving for all the
mercies God had sho~ered upon them.
Their little harvest had been success
fully gathered in, the houses tighten
ed up for the long hard winter which
they knew would soon be upon them,
aud things began gradually TO take on
q more fiourishing aspect. -Four OF
the best huptsmen OF the colonists
were singled out by the Governor, who
sent them "fowling, that there might
be whcrewithal for feast OF rejoic-
ing" The birds they brought back
with them were water fowl and wild
turkeys, and so from the first the tur-
key Identified himself with Thanks
giving Day.
The arst celebration was probably
In October. as IL was out OF doors and
lasted nearly week. Other days OF
thanksgiving followed In reasonable
regularity for 40 years, but at such
seasons as the various congregations
deemed most applicable TO their I'm
mediate necessities and rellefs. Some
times II was 10 the spring after hard
winter. Again IL was in the fall, af-
ter a generous harvest, or a miracu-
lous deliverance from the Indians.
Since 1853 the last Thursday 10 Now
ember has been celebrated throughout
the country as a national holiday.
Previous to this time the custom was
local and optional. Thanksgiving
Day was first celebrated in New Eng
land; after the Revolution the Gus
tom was established In tho Middle
States, and later extended gradually
through the South and West. Thanks.
giving was then and Is vet the great
festal day Of the year In New England.
the day for family gatherings; for the
MONDAY feast, and the evening spent
In cougenial companionship around
blazing open nres.

HE HAS A CLOSE CALL.
An Innocent Man Narrowly Escapes
Conviction of Murder.

Chicago, Oct ga casual remark of
a witness in Judge Chetlain's court
saved a man from conviction of MUIR
der on circumstantia1 evidence.
Indeed, the state had presented such
seemingly conclusive proof that Angelo
Serpico had killed Salvatore Serpico
that conviction and a death penalty
were almost certainly expected. This
strong structure of proof built up by
the state collapsed like bubble when
the case was about to go to the jury.
A casual question asked by DR.. War
rem Hunter, coroner's physician, on
cross-exa mination developed that SAL
vatore Serpico was killed with a bull
let from 80 calibre revolver. The de-
fendant's revolver was IS calibre.
Prior to that important testimony As
sistant States Attorney Fleming had
presented a chain of evidence apparent
~ complete
Against this array of evidence the de-
PENDANT was able to present only fee
BILE defense. He took the stand and de-
MED shooting. He admitted having
drawn a revolver, but was unable to
explain the exploded cartridges On
cross-examination by Mr.. Fleming
when asked to account for Salvatore
Serpico's death, he said:
Louis did it,
He could not tell who Louis was ex-
cept that he was an Italian who had
been present in the saloon and who had
since fed.
DR.. Hunter was the last witness call
ed. He expressed the opinion that
death was due to shock and hemorrhage
caused by the bullet wound.
by the way DR.. Hunter" Attorney
HanIon, for the defendant asked, "have
you the bullet that you found in the
body?"
Certainly" DR.. Hunter replied, and
he handed the bullet to the lawyer.
why, this is a 81 caliber bullet,
Attorney Hanlon exclaimed.
The bullet was then placed in the re-
volver owned by the defendant and it
ratified in the empty cartridge
After only a short elaboration the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

1T MAY BE GOEBEL.
III. HI. Tucker Appears to Be Winning
His Fight for Trustee.

Kansas City. Kan. Oct. 26.-Present
Tucker of the Uncle Sam Oil company
will win his fight for Peter Goebel as
trustee of the company's holdings and
properties.
OF fifty votes polIed Friday after
noon in election of trustee, only one
was for j. o. C. Morse, representing
the opposition, the remaining forty
nine being straight for the Tucker
dates in the field. The voting will con-
tinue all day today, and will probably
be continued until Monday or Tues
day.
Secretary Tucker said that since the
bankruptcy proceedings began five
months ago, he had received approx
mately $4,000 in defense money from
stockholders, and powers of attorney
from 500 creditors of the company,
giving him the right to vote for them
for a trustee. The properties of the
company, now in litigation, are valued
at over 100000. Tucker has been
indicted for alleged fraudulent use of
the malls, but a demurrer. filed in
Leavenworth federal court two weeks
ago, caused Federal Judge Pollock to
put off the trial until December 4.
Mr.. Tucker. jr.. was i'll yesterday and
rode to the meeting in a carriage. He
left the court room before the hearing
adjourned.
1--WE will adjourn the hearing if Mr..
Tucker is sick" said z. t. Hazen, the
referee.
No said Mr.. Tucker. Il want the
hearing to continue if I have to be
brought here on stretcher.'

NEW SCHOOL LAND SUIT.
Appeal From Cove County Concerning
Ownership.

Application for a writ OF mandamus
against the county commissioners of
Cove county was filed in the supreme
court yesterday by D. c. Nation and E
W. Nation. The action is to compel the
county commissioners to confirm school
land appraisers appointed by the coun-
ty commissioners
In 1885 the land was filed on. but the
settler abandoned his claim and left
the country. The land then reverted
to the state under a supposed forfeiture.
The state leased the land. On January
3. 1907. the lease expired. Afterwards
the Nations entered on the land, made
their filings, built a house, and other
wise improved the land The county
superintendent appointed appraisers,
but the county commissioners refused
to confirm the appointment, on the
ground that patent had already been
issued to another person. 1t developed
that some time during the summer a
man named o. B. Jones found the orig
mai settler and got from him a quit
claim assignment. Then he brought
suit IN the supreme court to compel tho
county treasurer of Cove county to ac-
cept his money for the land. The court
issued writ of mandamus and Jones
got patent This was months after
the land had been filed on by the Ma
lions.
