Thank Him for All.

Giving thanks for all things unto
God."-Eph. v. 20.
Thanksgiving is the mark of truly
religious man. If We are always beg
ging God for his mercies without ex-
pressing to him our sincere gratitude,
we become selfish in our demands. God
delights to impart his mercies to US,
but he also takes pleasure in our
gratitude to him for his benefits. Only
an appreciative heart is able to fully
enjoy Gods unfaiiing goodness. It
is certain that the. more we try to
praise, the mere we will see how our
path and our daily way are beset with
mercies, and that the Cod % love is
ever watching &c do US GOOD.

verses We encounter, he enables us
to overcome them. So, while the pass.
ing year has had its sorrows, we feel
that the joys have outweighed them,
and that we are still Gods debtors in
thanks for multitudinous blessings.
Let US show our gratitude for all of
these mercies by reaching out help
ing hand to others who have been
less fortunate than ourselves. Re
member the poor at Thanksgiving
the sick, the destitute, the hungry, the
unemployed. In every community
there are those to whom kindly
word or generous hospitality would
bring a real touch of the spirit of the
festival. Pass on your blessings. BY
so doing, you will make your own
heart the lighter, your own home the
brighter and your own Thanksgiving
table more enjoyable to all who sit
around it.

1age the missionary, passing through,
had left a few pages of the gospel in
the Indian tongue. Our Indian read
and rejoiced. Measuring the mission
ary's footprint, he fitted it with mag
nificent moccasins, and Travelled 200
miles to give them to the missionary
as an expression of his gratitude
Thus the missionary was enriched by
the presenf, but the Indian was en-
riched by the thanksgiving.
The best thanksgiving is a happy
heart. Blossoms mean nothing on a

boughs Of the trees innumerable paper

very unworthy as symbol, since they

Ivalueless unless it is rooted in the
daily life.
Train yourself to be grateful for the
common blessings. There had been a

love and gratitude which finds express

much engrossed with the active bust

leave too little time for reflection on
the divine goodness; yet every day
we are surrounded by blessings.

we are still the objects of his won

Van Osdel For Governor.

With the announcement that Hon
est" Abe Van OSdel of Mission Hill
will be candidate for governor, will
come whole lot Of thought action on
the part of other gentlemen who are
seeking the privilege to sit in the
governors chair. Lieutenant Cover
nor Byrne, George w. Egan, and
Loomis S. Gull of Hot Springs were
fully entered in the race before Mr.
Van Osdel announced his candidacy.
Two or possibly three other names
have been mentioned in this connec-
tion, and it wt,ald seem that the race
is still open. Many have talked Peter
Norbeck of Redheld, and again, many
are anxious that Thomas ThorSon
shall enter the race as he was robbed
of the nomination and election to
congress in 1910 by traitors and false
friends, many of them men whom he
had helped to office.
Just who 5Ae winner will be is
something tlast must be left TO the
future, but tES winner will be clean
cut thorough progressive, for the peo-
pie regard the progressive movement
as a national policy demanded by all
the people.
When it comes to retormer and a
progressive, Mr.. Van Osdel has all
the others beaten out OF sight. He
was the father Of the anti-free pass
crusade that aid up the railroads,
and he never accepted free transpor-
tation over any road when he was
serving the people. He Is known
throughout the state as "Honesu"
Abe Van Osdel, and it is a title any
man can be proud of. He is vet
eran of the civil war and resident of
YanKton county since 1864.
1t now seems certain that the race
for governor is going to be free for
all and an open campaign before the
people, who will, in less than year,
declare their choice, and the action
of the newspaper men at their meet
ing in July may aid materially in
making the selection Of winner.
All that the newspaper men OF the
state have received from prominent
politicians, whom they made, has
been silent contempt.

Her Father Served Under Washing
ton.

Mrs. Colonel Edward M. Brown,
mother of Mrs. Arthur Linn, enjoyed
her SSth birthday last week, and had
her room filed with beautiful flowers
from her sons VIII, Frank and Ed of
st. Paul, and other gifts made her
birthday pleasant. She enjoys ex-
icellent health but her sight and hear
ing are slightly impaired, although
two years ago she read the congress
ional record from beginning to end of
each issue. Her native state is Ver-
mont but her father served in the
New Hampshire foot under Washing
ton 100 years ago. 1t is not definite
ly known how many real daughters OF
the Revolution are living, but SO far
as the writer knows there is only one
beside Mrs. Brown. The living
daughter of soldier who served un-
der Washington Is very remarkable

gave her a pension Of $50 month.

The Lucas Medicine Company that
sold medicine and their patrons here
recently, and dished out nostroms
and wind, tried an old game at Yer
million which almost brought on =
riot. The Republican says: The Lucas
shows did not gain any great number
of friends by the way they conducted
their popular lady contest at their
closing performance last Saturday
night. With one crowd spending all
their money buying votes for their
favorite and the other crowd being
furnished with free tickets to keep
the campaign open till the money OF
the opposing faction was exhausted.
This condition of things was found
out after the conclusion OF the con-
test, and trouble was averted by
narrow margin. But we believe that
another gang of suckers would bite
just as readily should another fake q
the same kind pitch their tentS in

Patterson Recalled by Scott.
Let us turn to another picture. We
have already seen the singing reg1-
ments of General Patterson wading
the Potomac with the water up to
their armpits. Once on Virginia soil
they began the march from Williams
port to Harpers Ferry. The first inti-
nation Patterson received OF john
ston's evacuation of Harpers Ferry
was dispatch from General Scott
asking as to his (Patterson'S inten-
tions as to pursuing the enemy and
adding that If he did not contemplate
such pursuit to send part OF his
army Immediately to Washington. the
capital being hard pressed. Two or
three dispatches passed back ana
forth before Patterson complied. but
at last he did so on receiving a per-
emptory order.
General Patterson. who had been
soldier in two wars, was bitterly criti-
ctsed because he did not occupy Har-
pers Ferry or follow up and attack
Johnston. All this he bore In silence,
and it was not till later that the fact
of his being commanded to send the
flower of his troops to Washington
came out General Scott's motive can
be understood. for Washington was In
