in, Thanksgiving with the voice OF
melody. "-Isaiah 51-3,
This is a material world it's true.
The past year has seen each one for
himself in the enforced struggle for
existence. 1t seems that if we sue
coed all else is forgotten by others;
If we fail, we are forgotten by all
others. Thus runs the measure of
man.
1t IS hard not to believe that the
pessirnistic law of the survival of the
fittest. the ancient law of the jungle.
the might of tooth and nail. the
strong destroying the weak-amid the
applause of all, even that of other
weaklings who have not been attacked
1T is almost impossible at times not
to be convinced that the rule of uni
versal seI1shness is the only one worth
while.
Yet. if there is any time when we
should hold the reverse thought,
when we should make the best of
things, when we should forget our
selfshness and our own troubles in
trying to tighten those of others, it
is on Thanksgiving Day which will be
officially observed next Thursday.
Then forgetting that forbearance
and forgiveness of injustice is too Of
ten derstood-especially by the
one who is unjustice-for cowardice
or lack Of enterprise, let US try to
keep the spirit thankfulness for what
ever is. For surely. the hand of the
Father is kind and just, and there
must come a time when we will look
back, smiling at the heartaches and
despairs of life, even as now we smile
at the foolish SORROWS of childhood.
Let us try to be kind, not con-
descendingly, but thankfully and
brotherly, to the unfortunate, to the
homeless and lonely. For thankful
ness, like mercy, blesseth them that
give and them that take. AS near
as our frail human nature will allow,
for one day, at least, let US be thank
fully unselfish in word and deed, in
the name of the Man who fed the null
titudeS.

A UNIQUE CARD INDEX.
Which Helped Grover Cleveland,
President-Elect. to knowledge
of Office Seekers.

OF Office Seekers.
Among many interesting anecdotes
of "Clevelaud's first election" related
by William Gorham Rice, assistant
private secretary to Cleveland as gov
ernor of New York, in the June Cen
fury is the following
when Mr.. Cleveland began to con-
slider his cabinet and the other more
important appointments, special let
ters came to him in great numbers
One group of these was most curious.
The writer Of them was a newspaper
man of hig b reputation and of wide
acquaintance with Washington life.
He called on Mr.. Cleveland at Albany,
and when he left stated he would
send from time to time information
about public men, unsigned, but in
his own handwriting. Thereupon
there began to come daily envelope
containing unsigned cards Of conve-
nient form for filing These cards
treated of nearly every body proposed
for the cabinet, of distinguished Wis
itors announced in the public press
as on their way to Albany, and of
well-known men generally who might
be commended for Office themselves
or might ask office for others. There
was separate card for every person,
and his good points were written in
red ink while discreditable facts add
undesirable characteristics appeared in
black.
"Thus each card embodied concise
record of the deeds and keen estimate
of the character and influence of the
man named therein. Giving as they
did an incisive, impartial, and, I be-
lieve, upon the whole an accurate anal
ysis oflsthose about whom they were
written, they presented q comment of
unusual wit and wisdom upon Ameri-
can national politics. The point of
view was that of an experienced and
able observer of current events, and the
whole record made kind of Judgment
Day book of men of b., tn parties con-
spicuous in national affairs-in civil
life and in the army and navy.
"It can readily be imagined that not
few visitors who came to see Mr.,
Cleyeland were surprised at the knowl-
edge of the political affiliations of prom.
inent men which was shown by the
unsophisticated president elect"

REGISTER TODAY!

1t is of the greatest Importance
that homesteaders who have vote
take steps early to register, for the
law requires that each person who
registers shall have two witnesses,
and it might not be convenient to
meet this requirement at the eleventh
hour, as the witnesses wanted might
be away from home. Every elector
who desires to vote Nov. 5th, must
register before p. M, Oct. 5. Don't
delay.
