THANKSGIVING

The beautiful summer is cold and

She has PASSED away like the
The other fair summers long since
fled
From the woods and the meadow
crest.
The blossoms of spring were white
and sweet,
But they paled and shrank from the
touch of the heat
The fields are shining yellow and
dun,
Where the autumn gathered its tale
of grain;
We thank Thee, Lord, for the blessed
We thank Thee for the rain.
Our beautiful summer is passed and
fled;
We are older grown and gray;
The spring is gone from the youthful
tread,
The laugh from the lips once gay;
The childish hope iii the childish eyes
In darkness by many sad surprise
But the promised lands sure as then
it stood;
We can smile in loss as smiled in
gain;
And we thank Thee, Lord of the year
for the good,
And we bless Thee for the pain.

A Vanishing Tribe.

Once members of the great Creek
family, the SeminOles of Florida have
lost their tribe, their traditions and
their homes. Their own people have
forgotten them. The United States
has ignored them since the Seminole
war. when their roster was lost.
Payment of the government debt to
their tribe made plutocrats of their
brothers in the West, but never a
dime reached the members of the lit

from their ancestral home. But their
Spartan courage has departed and in

is no spark of the fire that flashed in

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum

Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time l was fifteen | was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything
could eat that would agree with me,
The little l did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth.
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food ]
could digest, was literally starving;
was so weak | could not sit up long
at a time.
.Tt was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. l drank part Of it
and after an hour I felt as though
had had something to eat - felt
strengthened That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
UNI in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day I can eat and
digest anything 1 want, walk as much
as I want. Ny nerves are steady.

any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and use it alto

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada

A party Of editors from a number Of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion Of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as If
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
1t is revelation, record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader character
ICES Western Canada as "a great coun-
try undeveloped The summer out
ing," it says, was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket Of the world It
was delightful outing through a
great country of wonderful possibil-
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised it's land regu-
lations and it is now possible to Sc
cure 160 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields Of thirty bush
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bush
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.

The men were convicted by a jury.
They were convicted under a statute

OREGON JUSTICE
Queer Laws Under Which Two Men May Safely Beat
Woman.

The district attorney in his informa-
ton charged the fact that the defend
ants held gun while they beat the
woman with leather strap. The case
was reversed on the ground that the
information contains nothing to bring
the strap within the class of instru-
ments mentioned under cQwhide,
whip, stick or like thing" where
the instrument used is not one of
those named in the statute" says the
court, then it must be so described
as to bring it within the term or like
thing and it is not sufficient to refer
to it as a leather strap. Therefore
the information is insufficient to
charge the crime defined by the stat
ute"
The remarkable thing about this de-
cision is that leather strap, accord
ing to most any of the standard die
tionaries, comes within the definitions
