THANKSGIVING
sy M. R.

So many countless blessings
Have been ours the whole year long,
TODAY our hearts so grateful are.
And the burden of our song,
is thanks to Thee. o Lord on high,
Who rules the universe.
For all the many blessings given
And all the gifts dispersed.
With all a fathers tenderness
Throughout the entire year,
Our steps have guided been by Thee
With gentle loving care.
We were not left to step alone,
Not for one single day,
Lest we should dash against a stone
And miss the narrow way.
Thy hand did scatter all about
The bread we so much need
We knew Thou'd not forget Thy child
When Thou the ravens feed.
In health and strength we've been pre-
served
To see Thanksgiving Day;
Then let us render thanks to Thee
For blessings all the way.
Then let us spend each hour to-day
In giving thanks to thee;
Because from dangers great and small
Thy care hast kept us free
Wen trust Thee in the DAYS to come.
For Thou will lead the way,
Until we welcome once again
A glad Thanksgiving Day.

you. Napoleon once said In his love let

a pretty girl is more balmful. more. per-
suasive than any one other of woman's

won for herself a crown. When a pretty
girl meets you on the street December 8.
and smiles al you and wants to tag you,
let her tie the little tag to the lapel Of
your coat, and II she smiles two smiles or
more, tell her to keep on tagging you. Let
every girl who is to sell tags on this day,
put on her best bib and tucker, wear her
broadest smile and the rest will follow.

VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS

Washington, May 15.-The Vreeland
currency bill, agreed upon by the Re
publican caucus, was put through the
house under special rule by vote
of 1874 to 145. Fifteen so-called in
surgents of the majority party voted
with the Democrats, who went on rec
ord solidly against the measure
The closing moments of the debate
were replete with excitement and Re
publican enthusiasm caused by the re-
fusal of the great majority of the
Democrats to go on record for the
Williams bill, which had been offered
by Mr.. Kahn of California as a sub.
stitute for the Vreeland bill in ao-
cordance with we'll laid plan of the

ton, which, it was claimed by several,
was supported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety
three Democrats voted present, ;.
which aroused the Republicans to a
high state of Nhilarity at the expense
Of the minority. Only handful of
Democrats had the temerity to vote,
AYE" or mo" The action of Mr..
Kahn was due to the refusal of Mr..
Williams to present his bill as sub
stitute, which under the rule he was
specifically authorized to do.
AS soon as the bill reaches the SEN
ate, Mr.. Aldrich will call meeting of
the committee on finance to consider
it. It is expected the committee will
vote unanimously to amend the house
measure by striking out all after the
enacting clause and inserting the pro-
visions of the bill which was passed
by the senate. 1t is not doubted that
the senate will approve the action G
the committee. The effect of this
course would be to send both the Vree-
land and the Aldrich bills to confer
ence.
