CT, "One can not contemplate this undisputed fact without feel ing in some way this fact is re- lated to those now living" and that when "one reads that Christ lived and how he died he feels that some how there is a chord that stretches from that life to His" We should be thankful that our enlightened Christian civilization is broadening and ex- banding human activity into fields of such broad possibilities of accomplishment that the word impossible seems scarcely to pos sess any longer a d finite signifi- canoe.
 We should be thankful that in the past this Christian civiliza- tion has inspired and pointed out 50 many moral and intellectual accomplishments. We should be thankful that this Christian civi- lization has made possible the an- ticipation of so many broad and farreaching material accomplish ments, affecting so nearly and so greatly our nation. our South land and our immediate section.
 We should be thankful that lawlessness, anarchy, despotism and hatred are so rapidly fading and melting before the light of our Christian civilization, and that dissension and disputes are becoming fewer and less ire uuent, and that a broader friend ship and brotherly love prevails today than ever before in the worlds history.
 Therefore, to fittingly observe this eminently proper custom of giving thanks for these and all other blessings to the Omnipotent God of all the universe on the day designated herein, let al usual avocations be suspended and put aside. that our peopl,

THANKSGIVING DAY
 IS PROCLAIMED
Thursday, Nov. 26, Formal ly Set Aside for Obser-
 vance in Arkansas.

Following the usual custom of calling attention to the obser- vance of the last Thursday in November as a day for general thanksgiving, Governor PiEdall issued formal proclamation designating Thursday. Nov. 26, as the day upon which all citi- zens should join in thanksgiving for the many blessings of the past year. He assigns many reasons for being thankful. and quotes pertinently from Bryan's beautiful Prince of Peace" "
 The proclamation in full is as follows:
 A Proclamation by the Governor
 designating Thanksgiving Day.
 The time of the year approach es when a beautiful recurring an- nual custom will again be pres ent. The President of the United States has, by proclamation, dir ected that Thursday, the 26th day of November. 1908, be fit- tingly observed throughout the nation as Thanksgiving Day. Therefore in keeping with this custom and in consonance with this action of the President, I, X. o. Pindall, as governor, by virtue of the authority of the laws of Arkansas and the influence of the custom mentioned, do also designate and appoint the above date and time for fitting obser- vance by Arkansas inhabitants.
 We have cause to be thankful for so much that only in gener- alities may the reason for thanks giving be indicated. Above and beyond and more than for all other reasons we should be thank ful for a Christian civilization. For the fact of Christianity and for a belief in Christ. There is more satisfaction and happiness thus derived than can be ap- preached by the possession of the entire combination of all other blessings. The fact ot Christianity is established not by miracles, by mystery or by theory but simply by an appeal to the human heart and conscience, il is the sweetest, softest and mosr consoling thought of all enlight ened citizens. As has been sai( by one in his Prince of Peace, , borrowing the thought of anoth

In testimony whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused to be affixed hereto the great seal of the State of Arkansas, in the executive chamber, city of Little Rock, on this the 7th day of Nov ember, 1908.

When it looked as thoughSt was going
to drop safe, Ducky showed out his
paw and pulled 1t down with one hand.
Good for you, Mr.. Sunday Player.
We had only one small regret yes
terday, and that was the temporary de-
lay in getting at the top of the pile,
where we belong. We did no mind so
much the defeat. as it is great to en-
courage a youngster, and, anyway, the
season is young yet; but then we
wanted to get to the head of the list.
However, Manager Stallings is deter
mined to get the Broncos today, and
will try Tom Hughes or kid" Mueller
at Rochester. The series with Roches-
ter winds up tomorrow, and on Wednes-
day the Tigers will beat it to Toronto.
Manager Stallings figures that he will
land at least three of the four over the
border, and if he gets a good start he
will capture a majority of the games
from the Montreal Club.
Anyway, it is baseball to lose now
and then, SO when the team is up there
fighting and being beaten in he tenth
inning with a two-bagger and a sin
gle after an afternoon of good base
ball, a record breaking crowd ought to
be on hand Sunday to see the Bisons.
Where is Carrisch? The big catcher
has not been heard from since %transpor-
tation was sent to him. While Man
ager Stallings is not worried now that
S%tanage's arm is in good shape, he
would like to hear from the former

was a home run hit made by H. Smith,
